Chapter

Nineteen

Sylph dashed out the entrance of the small hallway with a knife made of darkness in her hand. She held it defensively for a few moments, scanning the room before slowly lowering the weapon with a frown.

“What was that?” she asked. “I couldn’t breathe for a moment. Did you cast a spell?”

Damien, who had been deposited directly on top of the pile of dirt after his spell had ended, brushed some of it off his clothes and cleared his throat while Henry receded into the depths of his mind.

“Ah…I might have. I made a bit of a mistake when visualizing what I wanted the Ether to do,” Damien said. “Are you okay?”

Sylph inspected him for a moment, then let the knife fade and shook her head.

“I’m fine. I’m not sure what spell you were going for, but it doesn’t seem particularly safe. Don’t injure yourself too badly. It might take a healer some time to get here.”

“Right,” Damien said. “Sorry. I didn’t think it would suck up the air.”

“What were you trying to cast?”

“Ah…a gravity spell.”

“Was that in the book Delph gave you?”

“Well, not really,” Damien muttered.

“How did you learn it, then? The library? I was under the impression you only brought back a cultivation book.”

Damien pressed his lips together.

“I saw it in a book. I didn’t bring it back with me,” he said.

“I see,” Sylph replied, cocking her head. “Delph was right. If you’re memorizing spells at a glance, you’re quite the prodigy.”

She turned and walked out of the hallway. Damien watched her leave, his hands clenching at his sides.

“She suspects something,” Henry said. Damien’s shadow shifted across the floor, even though Damien hadn’t moved from where he stood.

Not much we can do about that. We’ll just have to keep an eye on her.

“And get stronger. Quickly,” Henry added. “You are not strong enough to defeat her. With the limited powers of your body, she might even be fast enough to escape me.”

I’m going to go ahead and request you don’t start making plans to kill my roommate. It’s normal for her to be curious about why someone is acting weird and learning magic so quickly. If I were in her shoes, I’d be jealous. Back when we were getting tested, her magic was much lower than everyone else’s. Delph mentioned it was weak, too. That must be why she can’t hold much Ether at once.

“Astute. She seems to have a rather high level of control and discipline, but her powers are quite weak,” Henry said. “I’m surprised she doesn’t hate you. It’s only a matter of time until you surpass her, and she’s likely been training her entire life to get to this point.”

Wonderful. Why is it like that? If she’s been training as long as you think, why isn’t her magic stronger? It doesn’t seem fair for her to be weak.

Henry burst into laughter.

“It amuses me that you still think life is fair, especially when you have the most powerful companion this school will ever see sharing its soul with you,” Henry said.
