Elements: Illusions of Revenge (Book 2)

Training Without Being Notcied (Chapter 17)

Owen couldn't stop the ridiculously huge smile on his face. Alex and Ava are so happy, Owen didn't even think they could be happier. Brenton and Urana also looked happy that Owen is happy but they weren't so open about it.

Jamil had to leave during the night, saying he would come back in the afternoon and then leave again in the night. Owen didn't want Jamil to go wherever Jamil's going but he couldn't stop him.

Now training has to be done before noon, so everyone rushes out of their rooms and get ready in order to be at Ku's Magic Space early.

Once everyone reaches there, Ku leads them into the dome and has them all sit in a line across.

"Today I figured that maybe we should discuss a few things. The goons may be gone but you crazy lot's family is probably in danger. Also, you crazy lot are getting stronger and we need to go to the Magic World at least once a week," Ku starts.

"When do we go?" Amy asks, excitement buzzing through her.

"Not today of course. The Magic Council has set up even more protection spells on those families," Ku answers, walking around.

"Why do we have to go to the Magic World? Not that I'm complaining or anything but I was just wondering..." Brenton asks.

"No no, you are fine, I figured I should explain anyway. Getting magic energy is like breathing air for oxygen. There is no magic in the air here, so we can not get energy by just sitting around like we all normally do. This proves rather troublesome for me and Amy," Ku gestures to Amy.

"So obviously, when you're deprived of something you feel weaker and all, that's why we looked so much brighter when we were in the Magic World," Amy explains.

"Isn't there some way to have magic in the air here?" Owen questions.

"It's actually dangerous to introduce magic on this planet," Scott takes the question, "it's a new element and this planet isn't meant for magic. We could cause an eruption of problems onto this planet. People can die when their bodies can't handle the intensity of magic."

"Cruel...but you guys are advanced enough, isn't there some way you could isolate magic and put it into your body directly?" Urana asks.

"Magic isn't a gas, we can't just isolate it. Magic doesn't have a property, so you can't do anything with something you don't know the form of," Red answers, having knowledge from school.

"But what about us? Shouldn't we have always felt the effects?" Alex looks for clarification.

"You guys probably didn't because you've always been here, it's interesting that your magic still found a way to be awoken even though your bodies have never been exposed to magic," Quill shrugs.

"Okay, but what does this have to with us?" Ava waves her hand around to gesture 'this.'

"This means that your bodies have some sort of adaption that other mages do not have. It is helpful but will cause you five to slow your progress. I was wondering why it was harder for you all to learn things but turns out it is this and it is hard to learn. Weekly visits to the Magic World should help get your bodies to their proper state. It is the best we can do," Ku finishes off.

"Well, some things make sense now," Urana process all the information and then turns to Owen and they talk in hushed voices.

"You know, that explains your guys' late magic awakening," Scott shrugs. "Are we planning the days?"

"It would not be wise to plan days," Ku refers to them all being likely targets of many bad mages, "we need to go at random. But this month will be hard."
