Formidable Explosion Magic!

After resting for the next few days in this wonderful wor- who are you kidding this world is nothing like the games and books you read, but it was still pretty cool to be a part of. But we are getting off track! After you rested you began to travel with Kazuma and Megumin every day to an abandoned castle outside of the town and watch your wise master use her abilities due to sheer boredom. You analyzed each explosion and calculated the time changes between impacts, the after effects such as shockwaves and if it disappeared quickly or lingered. You noticed doing the same and one-day Megumin exclaimed you had both fully learned the path of explosions. So to see if this was fully true on a cold, rainy afternoon you snuck away from your building job to test and see if you could fully weaponize explosion magic. You stepped firmly into the place Megumin stood each time and gazed upon the castle, shrouded in a shadow due to the intense fall of the rain. You readied your new staff and began to recite your own personal words to activate the magic.

(Y/n): Give me the magic I so choose to use and make me the determiner of the crimson fate of its use.

A dark (F/c) and black circle formed at the end of your staff.

(Y/n): I beg for the destruction of my target with a beautiful (F/c) and black finale.

The same color circle appeared under your feet as you could feel your veins feel with magic.

(Y/n): EXPLOSION!!!

You gripped your staff with both hands as a beam blasted from the end of it directed at the abandoned castle. You watched as the beam dissipated before a fantastic (F/c) and black explosion rose just in front of the castle. A smile grew on your face as the explosion funneled and developed into a small mushroom shape before disappearing into the rain and smoke.

(Y/n): I... I did it! 

You jumped up in triumph, but as soon as you hit the ground you lost all feeling in your body and you fell back into the mud.

(Y/n): Probably shouldn't have done this alone.

???: I'm so proud of you!

You looked up as far as you could and saw that Megumin was standing there with her fists raised and clenched in excitement.

Megumin: You truly mastered the path of explosions if that was the first time you've ever used it!

(Y/n): Well I had a good teacher.

Megumin grew a slight blush but kept that big grin on her face. She walked over and stood over you.

(Y/n): Could you help me get up?

Megumin: No.

(Y/n): Could I ask why?

Megumin: I couldn't possibly carry you back to town.

(Y/n): Well then maybe... could you drag me under a tree or something?

Megumin gripped you by the shoulders and dragged you, struggling all the way to the point she tried to push you by the feet. Eventually, she managed to drag you to a tree and prop you against it.

(Y/n): So how did you know I was trying my explosion magic?

Megumin: I saw you sneak off and decided to follow you. Anything beats getting out of work. But I'm glad I left because that explosion you made was amazing!

(Y/n): Yeah I'm glad I tried it, but my clothes are soaked and covered in mud so I'll probably new a new outfit unless Aqua has enough water to clean it.

An uncomfortable silence filled the air as you both couldn't find a topic to focus on.

(Y/n): So...
