Chapter 393: KAZI: Good things happen
Kazi Hossain hummed softly to himself as he moved about the kitchen. Spiced eggs, freshly baked bread, and brewing black coffee. Good stuff.
He wore a white kurta and pajamas, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He cracked another egg into the pan and glanced over his shoulder, smiling softly at the sight of Marta. She was walking across the space, adjusting to the new rhythm of her prosthetic legs. In her hand was a textbook.
He smiled. Going to school, getting a small haircut, reading and studying at home, Marta had come a long way. Almost three months had gone by since Gate 10. Three months since her life changed forever.
"Battlemages use scepters, staffs, and swords. Battlemages use scepters, staffs, and swords," Marta muttered.
"Not a wand?" Kazi asked in a hum.
"No, not wands. Can’t be used physically. The primary condition for being a Battlemage is seamlessly switching between spellcasting and hammering at their opponent. Kazi, you’re actually the perfect example of a Battlemage. You can cast spells with your swords and then attack with it at the same time. It’s an innate talent of Battlemages."
"Ah. So I’m awesome?"
Marta laughed, metal clinking lightly. "Real awesome but still quantifiable."
"Teach me something else?"
"Something else? Uh...oh! Today, the professor was telling us about ancient words and how it’s one of the strongest types of incantations. Actually..." Marta stopped. "Nevermind."
"Hm...want me to guess?"
