CHAPTER 10

Devin woke up and stretched, his body was sore all over. His muscles ached, he was bruised and he thought he had a finger dislocated. He could have started that routine they went through in order to prepare himself for magic but it was normally started a lot younger than he was now. Devin was content to live with the bruises and the pain of getting them. Wizard Tasha was correct when she said Devin would be targeted, in the three weeks he had been here it seemed everyone was aiming for his stones. Devin thought they were sick and twisted and tried to make them pay in every fight.

Devin was not the best fighter amongst the acolytes by far. He couldn't use the dirty fighting his Da taught and had to fight clean. A lot of them knew how to fight and were hard to avoid. They also didn't feel pain like he did so small punches didn't do much against them. Devin had figured out his own technique to fight. He was willing to take a blow to get up on his opponent and land a punch. The others felt no pain but could still get their bell rang or the wind knocked out of them. Devin thought maybe a better term was that they couldn't feel normal pain. Devin would crowd his opponent and go for a head punch. It would rattle them a bit and some he would knock either on their behinds or unconscious. Devin was getting better at throwing a punch, his big hands seemed to be the perfect instrument for delivering punishment but he still took too many hits in return.

In hand to hand, Devin could afford to fight this way. He was reasonably quick, Devin thought he was faster than the people he fought against. They landed on him because they knew what they were doing, with weapons they were hard to stop. They used wooden weapons to simulate for steel ones, Devin would have died many times over in this form of combat. The only thing Devin could say he absolutely excelled at ranged weapons. Devin could throw knives with the best of them and had even outdone all of his instructors. Instead of just the small knives, Devin had started throwing small throwing axes as well. They were a heavier weight and he could really get his strength behind it. Devin could reliably hit a small flying target at forty paces with the axe. Devin enjoyed the feeling but then came magic, which was a mixed bag.

Devin had tried magic with a low powered magestone, the actual name the Wizards called the crystals, and discovered it didn't hurt as much. Devin tried it with a magestone with no power and found out that not only could he cast, but that the magic was coming to him easier. Without a magestone was the best way. Devin already knew he didn't need to speak to get the various spells to come to him.
