Anastasia finished eating as quickly as possible and invited Nathan to accompany her on magic training.
Anastasia took Nathan to her practice site which was not far from the courtyard, where the sky was a beautiful blue, with perfect weather.
After they passed the courtyard, they headed for the practice arena. From a distance, in front of the entrance, there is a middle-aged man who is standing alone and looks confused like a father waiting for his son to come home.
"Sister, looks like an instructor!" Nathan pointed to the man stand at the door.
It seemed that the man saw Anastasia and Nathan's presence, and waved his right hand, indicating that he was looking for Princess Anastasia.
"Nice to meet you, Princess Anastasia, and Prince Nathan. My name is Remy Austin, I am the deputy head of the Odeviel Kingdom's magic army. I am your instructor to practice magic this time."
Then they entered the practice arena, a large area without a roof and surrounded by high walls that divided the area into several sections.
After they entered the practice arena, they could see many young people practicing their skills. Anastasia paused to watch, she was dumbfounded.
* WHOOOSH! *
A man swung a sword with fire around his sword and slashed a wooden puppet, sliced it around the chest, and cut it in half and burned to ashes.
"Amazing ..." Anastasia watches the man with great interest and admiration. She was excited and couldn't wait to start using magic on her own.
Nathan, who realized that his older sister was not following him, immediately grabbed her hand.
"Big sister, come on. The instructor is waiting for you in the next arena."
"Uhh, okay"
In the magic training arena, on the far side there were several wooden puppets that were used as training targets on the far side. Nathan only watched his older sister from the edge of the practice arena.
"Alright, let's start the training. Please attack the wooden puppet there, princess." Remy Austin pointed to one of the wooden dolls.
Anastasia tried the method she saw when Nathan cast his earth magic while controlling the golem. But after several attempts, Anastasia was unable to pull out her magic.
"Sorry, Mr. Austin. I forgot how to use my magic. Can you teach me first?"
"Please, don't call me Mr. Austin, Princess. Just call me Remy."
"All right, Remy."
"Yes, I already knew that. After I saw that the way you activated magic was wrong." Remy stroked his chin
"Huh? You already know?" Anastasia was shocked by Remy's opinion
"Yes, because each magic element has a different method of activating it. Be it water, fire, earth, air, electricity, and ice magic. What I just saw is that you want to activate earth magic. "
"Hehe…." Anastasia smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, let's start with the basics. Let me show you my magic first. You better hang on to something because it's strong enough to fly a little girl."
Remy Austin started to close his eyes, and the wind around him that was previously calm suddenly blew towards Remy and surrounded him. The wind surrounding Remy was strong enough that Anastasia had to hold on tightly to the wooden puppet and Nathan, who was quite a distance away, also grabbed the pillar of the training ground.
"Whoa, that's amazing Remy." Anastasia was amazed by what she had never seen in her previous life.
Remy stopped his magic activation, and the surrounding wind slowly returned to normal.
"Can I do it the same as you?" Anastasia's eyes sparkled
"Of course, first feel your elements like living beings. Then let the wind receive you. The stronger you feel your elements the more they will accept you and the more wind will come."
Anastasia began to close her eyes and spread her arms on her hips and tried to feel the wind blowing.
But somehow only a small wind accepts Anastasia. The wind that came was enough to shake Anastasia's purple hair. Very different from Remy. After quite a while Anastasia stopped her magic activation and opened her eyes slowly
"How's my magic, Remy? Is it working?"
"Hmm, you've managed to activate the magic. But, it's still not satisfying, let's try again princess."
After about 10 times Anastasia repeated her magic, Anastasia was at the limit of her energy. But Anastasia's abilities didn't improve at all
"Ah ... Hu ... Ah ... How's ... it ... going, Remy?" Anastasia bows and gasps.
"Well, for the noble bloodline it doesn't seem very good. We better continue tomorrow, it looks like you've reached your limit, princess." Remy saluted Anastasia and Nathan and left the practice arena.
Nathan came over to his sister and brought a towel to wipe Anastasia's sweat.
"You sweat a lot, sister. We'd better rest on the edge of the practice arena."
Anastasia walked towards the edge of the practice arena, staggering.
"That was really tiring. What do you think Nathan just now? Does it look great?" Anastasia's eyes sparkled as she looked at Nathan
"Uh ... That's good enough, sister. But it looks like tomorrow will be even greater." Nathan encouraged his older sister.
"Is there drinking water here? I'm so thirsty." while looking for drinking water
"Wait a minute, I'll get a drink."
When Nathan went to get a drink, someone came from the direction of the entrance.
"Princess Anastasia?" A young man called out to Anastasia.
"Ah, Prince Mills, good morning. What are you doing in the training arena, Odeviel kingdom?" Anastasia greets Prince Mills who is wearing training clothes.
"Practicing my magic in the morning with the young man of the Odeviel Kingdom. Even though I will meet you after training. But we meet here" Prince Mills wiped his sweat with the towel that was on his shoulders.
"Have you just honed your magic skills, Princess Anastasia?" Prince Mills sits next to Anastasia.
"Yes, but my abilities are very weak. Looks like I still need more training." Anastasia lowered her head
Nathan then came with 2 glasses of drink
"Prince Mills? Sorry I only brought 2 glasses of drinking water."
"Ah no problem, Prince Nathan. I'm not thirsty."
Anastasia and Nathan immediately drank it. and Anastasia leaves some of her drinking water.
"Do you want it?" Anastasia offers her drink to Prince Mills
* Cough *
Nathan coughed while drinking after hearing his sister's offer to Prince Mills.
