Chapter 44: Return To Starbloom City
The next two days passed in a blur of travel and routine.
Lorraine had expected teaching Lillia magic to be slow and painstaking, but instead, it was terrifyingly effortless.
The girl was a natural, gifted, talented.... Words alone couldn’t describe how much of a prodigy she was with magic.
With just a single demonstration, Lillia would replicate a spell near-flawlessly, her tiny fingers weaving mana patterns in the air as if she had been born doing it.
It looked like she understood magic completely, even Lorraine hadn’t reached that level because nobody truly understood what magic was, it was said that you could only start grasping what magic truly was when you reached the 6th circle.
And when you truly gasped the meaning of magic, you would be able to perform high level spells that could lay waste to towns in a single attack.
One could reach the level of an Archmage... so yes, Lorraine was jealous of the fact that the girl learned quickly but it also pushed her, She didn’t want to lose to the girl.
After all she had already decided, she wanted to be a mage that Azel could trust on the field of battle... She would aim to reach that before she could stand alongside him.
"Again?" Lorraine asked after watching the girl cast a Flame Whip spell perfectly on her second attempt.
"Yes, Mama!" Lillia chirped innocently.
Lorraine’s cheeks flushed at the title, but she didn’t correct her.
She couldn’t deny it: this child was frighteningly gifted.
