Chapter 103 : Training Together
The clearing they picked wasn't much.
Just a patch of soft grass where the forest thinned, letting sunlight fall like golden ribbons through the canopy. Birds chirped overhead, a lazy breeze toyed with the edge of Elias's sleeve, and nothing—not even the towering trees—seemed to realize that magical destruction was imminent.
"I want to train," Revantra said.
Elias looked up from his notes, eyes narrowing. "You want to what?"
"Train." She stood there in the center of the clearing, arms crossed, chin tilted high like she was daring the very trees to argue with her. "My powers have been acting weird since the cult basement. You said so yourself. I burned toast from three meters away."
"You did," he agreed.
"And then I nearly lit Theo's homework on fire just by sneezing."
"Well, he deserved it," Elias muttered.
Revantra raised an eyebrow.
He coughed. "I mean, yes, that's concerning."
"Point is, if I don't get a handle on this soon, something bad is going to happen. And you..." She stepped closer, jabbing a finger at his chest, "are the only person I trust not to explode if I mess up."
