A Dreamlike Time with the Prince

MOTIVATED by Vi’s compliments, I spent all of the next day and the day after on my rejuvenation magic, specifically on keeping unbroken concentration. After all, the next time I’d see Vi was going to be on Voidday evening, my day off. I wanted to have the rejuvenation spell perfected by then.

Besides, practicing this spell would pay off in the future, not only with casting barrier magic, but with all sorts of offensive spells. No doubt I’d get tons of ideas that I could apply going forward as well.

The more pressing thing on my mind, though, was that Voidday was the day Prince Helios and I would have our special outing. I tried to focus only on my magic, but my thoughts kept wandering, and I kept being overcome by fits of anxiety and self-consciousness. I was a mess.

Now the big day was tomorrow, and my heart kept skipping beats all over the place. I had no idea what we were supposed to talk about. Would the clothes I’d picked out be too showy for a walk in the town? Conversely, would they be too subdued for watching a live performance? Had I picked the right thing to wear after all? My mind was filled with whirling doubts, which I knew no amount of agonizing over would help, but I really couldn’t relax at all.

It’s amazing, really, that I could keep my rejuvenation spell unbroken under mental circumstances like these.

Oh dear! I’m so nervous… Someone help!

I kept wringing my hands together unconsciously, fidgeting and squirming. When I realized what I was doing, I had to laugh at myself. I needed to get my head on straight and focus on magic. I flipped through my notebook in an attempt to focus, and my eye was drawn to a certain heading.

Ah, that’s right! I was wondering about that part…

According to the texts, the rejuvenation spell could be used to concentrate magic on one specific area when cast continuously. So, while the entire body could be rejuvenated, it was also possible to, for example, focus its effects on sore muscles or stiff shoulders…any problem areas, really. By concentrating hard, you could actually use it to heal yourself.

I was certain this technique would pay off when it came to casting defensive magic as well. I could, for example, preemptively strengthen vulnerable body parts, the ones that seemed most likely to be attacked. That way, I could defend myself and attack my enemy at the same time.

Hmm, it says here to focus one’s energy on the affected body part… It’s hard to visualize. But maybe if I try what it says…to try to concentrate the flow, almost like stopping up a dam and blocking a flow of water… Hmm, I guess magic really does depend a lot on the caster’s ability to visualize the results.

I tried blocking the spell flow around my shoulders without letting my concentration drop, but I felt like I didn’t have enough energy output going on to make it really work.
