Axel hadn't noticed earlier that Kevin was really cute, his green eyes shone like emeralds and his red lips was really very tempting ...

He coughed to come to his senses and he motioned for him to help himself with the food on the tray that he had brought back and which was full of different dishes.

He then said to him, remembering what he had just said and he was almost hurt in his pride as a man : "No matter how powerful these people are, no one will ever be able to force me to date someone I didn't choose."

Kevin who already appreciated Axel respected him even more after this confession, he decided to say to him to appease him : "I didn't intend to seek any fight, and it's her who provoked me first with that murderous glare, I had already guessed that you could not be interested in this kind of woman."

Axel found it strange, usually all the men inside the sect fought to get her attention, after all it was true that she was very beautiful.

It was just that her personality was the opposite of her pretty looks and she represented absolutely everything he hated the most.

He asked Kevin curiously : "What do you mean by this kind of woman ?"

Kevin who was about to taste another dish replied nonchalantly : "I mean spoiled child, selfish, narcissistic, who get angry easly, with an obvious sense of superiority even though she doesn't seem very talented ... If you loved this kind of woman I would have been really disappointed."

Axel couldn't hold back anymore and he burst out laughing which got everyone's eyes on them again and then a familiar voice said : "Hey, it's you Kevin, hi Axel !"

Kevin then turned to where the voice was coming from and said : "Hi Alan ! I was looking for you, do you want to join us ?"

Suddenly a dead silence fell around them but Alan ignored everyone and replied with a smile : "With pleasure, how did the both of you meet ?"

Alan sat down next to Kevin and Axel told him how they had met, he also said to him to go get some food before there's nothing left.

Alan got up immediately and said : "Oh yeah that's right, crap I'm going."

When Alan was gone Axel also got up and came to sit next to Kevin, he told him because he could see that Kevin was looking at him surprised : "It will be easier to share our meal as I brought only one tray."

Kevin had really found his behavior strange, if he had been his boyfriend he would have understood that he wanted to mark his territory but they barely knew each other so he couldn't be that right ?

As Axel seemed to be someone honest, he decided to accept this answer and thus continued to taste every dishes that were on the tray, without thinking to much about it.

When Alan returned with his meal tray the scene that he saw shocked him a bit.

Axel was a loner and he rarely mingled with others, that didn't stop him from having a lot of fan but he never seemed to care to anyone, be it girls or boys.

But to see that he had intentionally changed chairs to be closer to Kevin and to see him sharing dishes with him on the same tray was truly unexpected.

And what about the behavior of this new boy. Yesterday, Kevin although polite had kept his distance from him, but now he seemed quite natural and at ease with Axel.

Alan decided to join them back and sit down to find out more, and when their attention turned to him he asked Kevin curiously : "So Kevin why were you looking for me, did you need any help ?"

Kevin asked him then what he wanted to know about the meditation, and Alan really didn't expected that Kevin would have already looked through his books and that he would want to learn more about the meditation.

Fortunately, Alan had what was needed in his magic bag, he took out a very special magical herb that allowed the mage to open their minds and capture the spiritual energy around them.

He handed it to Kevin who accepted it without hesitation and then he began to explain to him : "This magical herb will allow you to open your mind and feel the spiritual energy around you.

The main goal of meditation is quite simple, in the spiritual energy that surrounds us you will have to absorb particles of the different elements, they will have the same color as what you saw in the crystal ball.

The more particles you absorb the more likely your soul force will increase, and after some times, you will be able to use those particles to launch spells.

However, I prefer to warn you that it's a process which takes time, but the more you will practice the meditation, the easier it will get to you."

Kevin looked at the magical herb Alan had just given to him and asked : "Are you really giving it to me for free ?"

Alan just nodded and a dazzling smile appeared on Kevin's face, he asked him again excitedly : "Can I eat it now ?"

Alan and Axel laughed together at Kevin's reaction and Alan told him that he could take it now but he would have to wait at least 4 hours before trying to do his first meditation.

Kevin let them laugh and smiled, after all, if he was in their shoes that would have made him laugh too, so he ate this magical herb and he didn't feel any noticeable change. Thanks to Alan, in only few hours, he will try to do his first meditation.

While they ate, Alan gave him some more tips on meditation and they each talked about their origins.

Kevin understood then why he felt so close to Axel, he was an orphan too and he had to work hard to be where he was.

As for Alan, he came from a wealthy family but it was a family of fighters and being the only mage of this family, he had been called a freak and they had completely excluded him from their family.

Kevin decided to use his perception skill on Alan even though he already suspected the outcome.

[ STATS ]

Name : ALAN

Race : Human

Level ???

Class : Mage

And indeed, he hadn't learned anything new.

Kevin found the behavior of Alan's family to be really shameful and he told him so, for him a family was meant to be tightly knit and support each other whatever would happen, right ?

Alan laughed when he saw his outraged look, and he confessed to him that since this time, the Sun Sect had become his real family and that he even had a boyfriend who was now entering his fourth year as a fighter.
