Chapter 10

It was another Sunday afternoon.

Lance was training in the park with his dad. They were having near combat training today. Lance was getting better at it.

Lance was using a wooden staff while his dad was using a wooden sword.

"Wow, Lance, I've never seen you this good," his dad complimented. "What made you this good?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe something just hit me," said Lance as he pushed his dad with his staff.

His dad slided back due to the strong force of Lance's push.

"I guess that's enough for today," his dad said. "You've improved a lot since last week."

"Thanks, Dad." He smiled at his dad and they went back home.

When they were home, they sat on the dining table and waited for dinner. Lance's mom was setting the food on the table.

"So, how was training today?" asked his mom.

"It was fine," answered Lance.

"Lance was great. I wish you saw him, dear," said his dad feeling very proud.

"Is that so? How I wish I really did see him. Too bad. But, I'm so proud of you," said his mom proudly.

They had a peaceful dinner. After dinner, Lance went up to his room and took a shower in his bathroom. Afterwards, he got changed in his night clothes and lied on his bed.

"Lance, you're dad was right. You are getting better indeed," said Pagos.

"Yeah. I don't know why," Lance wondered.

"I guess it's an effect if you start to get used to this power. It not only improves your magical skills, but also your physical skills," explained Pagos.

"Maybe." Lance stood from his bed and walked to his window. He pointed his index finger at the window trying to touch it. When he did, frost was starting to spread slowly.

"You can frost things with your own will. It's also a part of the power that you possess," said Pagos.

"Cool," he said in awe. "Hey, Pagos? How much do I still need to learn?"

"A lot. But, I bet you could master them in a small period of time. Since you're a fast learner," said Pagos.

"I guess magic is fun after all," said Lance as he went to his bed. "Good night, Pagos."

"Good night."

Lance turned off the lights and slept.

Another Monday came.

Lance woke up very early as usual. He went to prepare. Then, he went down the stairs. The first thing that he expected when he reached downstairs was his dad, but he wasn't there. Instead, he saw his mom preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Lance. Did you have a comfortable sleep last night?"

"Yeah," he replied. "Hey, mom, where's dad?"

"Oh, yeah. He said he has to take care of important business at work today, so he got up as early as he could to leave."

"Oh." He settled down in the dining table to have his breakfast.

After breakfast, he went to school. He bumped in to Shelly as he walked to school.

"Hey! You're early today," said Lance.

"Yeah. I felt like waking up early today," Shelly replied.

"I see."

"So, did you figure out your powers yet?" Shelly asked.
