Chapter 25: Naomi's request

I arrived at the academy and made my way to Victoria's class. Upon entering, I heard a voice behind me. " hi, James"

I turned around to see , oh it's Lily " hi, baby "

She blushed " baby? He-he-he, what kind of nonsense is that? "

I replied" I just like the way it sounds. And you actually look like a baby girl. Anyway, what are you doing? "

" I was just thinking about you.... "

" Thinking about me ? I'm flattered, but ...." What? 

" No-no-no, I mean.... I was thinking about the ways to get some additional points, for you and me. " She's so embarrassed. 

" Um, it's time to get ready for the class now. "

" I thought you got housepoints for attending. Or are you here for something else? "

" I'm here for points. And some knowledge. I already told you that. "

" That's true, well said. "

" But I think that won't be enough to win a house competition."

" What? Why? "

She replied" everyone takes classes. It's not a revelation. We have to think of something else. "

" Well what do you suggest? " 

" I know a way to not only earn points for us but also... Take them away from the other houses. "

Is that even legal? " I'm listening "

" We have to win at the dueling club. "

" Ah that's what you mean..... "

" That's what I'm talking about. It's important to show other houses that they can't mess with us."

" And how do we do that in the dueling club ? "

" When you win, you get points from the house that lost to you. This way you can compensate points difference if we fall behind the other house. So what do you think? " 

" I can handle this. "

" I'm not sure you can...."

I locked eyes with Lily, exuding confidence. " let's make a bet "

" A bet ? "

" Yeah a friendly bet. Lf leonheart takes other house points in a duel. I win . And if it loses, you win. "

" All right, it's a deal . But if I win, you'll obey my orders for a month. " 

Hmmm.... To be enslaved for a month by a hot Asian girl? Though what good would it do If it isn't sexual.... " Okay, and if I win , I want one kisss. "

She laughed" hahah a what-what? Have you lost your mind , James? "

" No, I'm as serious as can be, you win either way. And I get extra motivation to tear opponents up. "

Lily thinked a bit" all right. If you win, you'll get a kiss , but you'll lose. "

" We'll see. "

" We'll see, good luck. "

I took a seat, and as Victoria entered, she commenced the lesson.

" Students, attention. Class is about to begin. Today you and I will learn how to use the energy of a power source. To create a simple projectile of magical energy. To form a spell out of magical matter. 

Your task: to clearly visualize the result. The form, the properties and all the characteristic of the spell. The more complex the magic. The harder it is to exactly achieve the desired result. To do this, we start with your source of power. 

Concentrating on it. Start imagining how you change it. To begin, imagine something simple : the shape of a ball. A smooth ball of concentrated. Nourished by the nature of your source."

Gabriella raised her hand to inquire. " excuse me. Ma'am"

" Yes , Gabriella. "

" And if My source of power is heavily tangible... How do you concentrate it into such a rigorous form? "

" That's a good question. You know what the problem will all nortale freshmen is? You guys think in terms of the physics of our world. 

And that's okay, because you grew up here and studied here. But magic isn't one world. And it's not limited by the rules of our universe. In order to create a true miracle... 

You have to make yourself forgot those rules. Look: ( An electric sphere materialized in her hand, transforming into the semblance of a gate. ) right now there is just air in the palm of my hand. 

Thanks to the source of power, I began to draw energy. And I hold in my head a perfectly straight ball. While the ball is forming I keep in my mind all the time.....

The balloon, the gust of wind, the jolt. It's very simple isn't ? I use magic to enclose the gust of wind into a ball. Strengthening the properties of the elements, but not changing them. It's simple magic, easy to learn. 

Even an orge would be knocked unconscious by such a projectile. I hope everyone understands how it works. 

By the next session, I want all of you to be able to create one. At least for a few seconds. So practice more often. Everytime you try. It will get easier and easier. Trust me. Class dismissed. "

That's was something. At least It's gonna be easy for me to try it. Now I need to go to the next class. 

On my way to Sabrina's class, I encountered Naomi near the cafe. " Naomi . Hi "

" James, good to see you. "

Oh what happened to her" is it really Naomi, or am I talking to a doppelganger? "

" What are you talking about? "

" Where did all your ' back off, don't waste my time ' go ? And where did you get that ' it's good to see you ' ? "

" Oh, that's what are you talking about. You're not offended, are you? C'mon, I just wasn't in the mood. " 

There's something wrong here ..... She's too nice. " I'm surprised that you're in a such a good mood now. "

" I've just had a nice chat with my mom. We don't do that very often. But that's not the only reason. "

" What else ? "

" You're about to prove to me that you're worthy. Isn't that great? "

So that's what this is about..... Have she thought of something that I would just say no to? 

" And more specifically? "

" I've suddenly run into a problem. One that might jeopardize my plans for adderin. You could help me and help a noble cause. "

I came closer to her " so what's the problem, Naomi? "

She placed her hand on my chest " well, you see. It's a delicate matter and I... I really want to Trust you. "

What the hell.... she grabbed my dick, is she teasing me so I can be more easily manipulated? Girl, you got the wrong guy. Should I play along and see what happens next. Or get it over with? I'm confused. 

After careful consideration, I opted to engage in her game. So I...
