Magician

Chapter 6

"The first step is to unlock your magical identity, this is easy enough, and once you unlock it, you will have more space to store energy and you will get a little more power." Lysandros said.

"Okay, so how do I unlock my magical identity?" asked Matthew, wanting more power so he would not collapse like last time.

"You already unlocked it. You unlocked it by conjuring something that has never been made."

"The energy drink?"

"Yes"

Matthew couldn't believe it. He thought he had done nothing except cast a spell that nearly destroyed him. Now though, he though it was worth it. "So..." asked Matthew, "What's the next step?"

"Even a magician must fight sometimes," started Lysandros. "So we should train with..." he drew a double sided knife from it's sheath, while saying, "this"

"Isn't that a bit....you know...dangerous? You might cut your self with the other end." Matthew said, eyeing the blade suspiciously.

"Ah, but that's why we always sheath the other end." Lysandros put the shorter knife back in to it's sheath. However, he unsheathed the longer one. Matthew looked at it closely, and saw that this end was razor-sharp. "This can block sword attacks, and this is mainly used for close range combat. The other side is for throwing. You can also make the other side float with magic, but the longer one is magic-proof." Lysandros sheathed the longer knife as well, and tossed it to Matthew on purpose. Instinctively, he blocked the throw with magic. Matthew felt the magic drain him, but he was surprised he could use magic that easily. It had drained his energy badly though.

Matthew picked up the knife and walked over to Lysandros. Lysandros looked up and said, "Impressive. That was some fast magic you did there. You'll need to be faster and stronger if it was against a real enemy but for now, that is very impressive." Matthew grinned, and Lysandros, noticing the look, he added, "With a lot more practice, you might even reach mediocrity." Matthew didn't know what that meant, but he sensed it was something bad.

Lysandros looked up, and saw it was already noon. "It's time for lunch Matthew. We're going to eat out today." He started walking towards the Main Castle. Lysandros paused. "I need to give you a cloak," Lysandros said, and conjured a cloak. He tossed it to Matthew. He caught it. "Hurry up and wear it boy, we don't have time." Matthew fumbled with the cloak and put it on. "Good. Now, let's go and get lunch!"
