The Role of Mages

Training Training Training pt.3

" Why are we in the middle of nowhere?" I ask, confused.

" Please don't ask a question every five second." Zero says, annoyed.

" Oh, sorry..."

We walked in the middle of an empty field.

" So-!" He picks me up and flies up to the sky.

" Wow, what the hell?!?" I ask as we fly really high up the sky.

By the time we stopped, I was certain that we were past the clouds.

" Umm..." I say then.

He.

Fucking.

Drops.

Me!

I was speechless for words.

" WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!"

" Calm down, geez." He yells at me.

I look at him to see that his wings have disappear and he's falling with me.

" Your task is to-"

" What?!" I say.

He sighs.

" Your task is to be able to relax and land onto the ground without blowing up like a water balloon being thrown against the wall." I hear his voice in my head.

" Alright. What do I need to do?" I ask.

" Relax. That is the most important part." He responds.

I close my eyes. I try to calm down for a few minutes but, the fact that I'll become tomato sauce if I don't calm down and the fact that I'm falling at the same time. Zero's comments were also not helping.

" You only have one chance. But, I believe in you."

I take a deep breath and open my eyes.

" Wait... What?" I look around, extremely confused as I find myself in a white room.

" Relaxation... That can be achieved when one has a clear mind." A voice says to me and I see a boy in the room.

" Who are-"

" Don't ask meaningless questions." The boy had his back facing me.

" Then-"

" Clear your mind. We need you."

" What do you-"

I'm suddenly snapped back into reality and I'm back to falling.

" Ok... Clear your mind..." I close my eyes and I take a deep breath. I hear a slight ring in my head. It was as if time had slowed down.

" Clear..." I move to where I'm standing up while I fall.

After about a minute, I slam into the ground, causing fire and a great force of wind explode across the area around me.

" You didn't have to punch the ground." Zero says.

I stand up and walk over to him then started wobbling.

Before I fell down, Zero catches me.

" I guess we can call it a day. It's crazy to think that you completed Ryland's, Aster's and my tasks all in one day." Zero says.

" Hvvv-a-lalollll-" I mumble before I pass out.

" Well, let's call it a day." He teleports to my room.

" Hey, stupid sack of bones, wake up!" I hear Samus say as she pours hot water on my chest.

I exclaim in pain.

" Owwww!!! What the hell?!?! " I cry and jolt up.

" Oh yeah, I'm next on your list. And Achned will be last." she says.
