章 213: Best of both world

Elias dragged himself back to the motel after an intense training session with Melina. He managed to turn that little flame in his hand into something much bigger and harder to control.

He had been focusing so hard that his head started to hurt. When he set an entire dumpster on fire, his nose decided to start bleeding. That meant that they were done for the day.

"You did good," Melina told him as she walked by his side. "The whole nose thing happened to me too when I started using magic a lot in a short period of time. It's hard on your body."

Elias wiped his nose, still seeing a small trace of blood. He tried to clean it all up so that Alyssa wouldn't worry about him.

He felt a little better now, but he was definitely tired. Magic took a lot out of him, while Melina had way more stamina.

"How do you not tire yourself out?" he asked her.
