Seeing the complicated expression on Qiang Shen's face, Yin Xue said, "Forget it, if you can not tell me I will not ask again" she said as she put on a sad face. "It's not that I do not want to tell you, it's just that I think it's not yet time for you to know," Qiang Shen replied when he saw the face his friend was wearing. "Then we'll see each other at lunchtime," said Jiang Chen and retreated to his cla.s.sroom. After him, Qiang Shen also said goodbye and retired to his cla.s.sroom.

-----------------------------------------------------

At lunchtime, Qiang Shen escaped again as he had been doing the last few days, first erased his presence, then used his speed to avoid the students until reached the roof of the third building. Shortly after he arrived, Jiang Chen and Yin Xue also arrived. Immediately after they closed the access door, Qiang Shen began to release its internal energy in all directions. "Ok, there's n.o.body else here," he said. This was to prevent anyone else from seeing them, however the range of their internal energy barely managed to cover the entire area of ​​the roof of the third building.

"Then first let's see how Ms. Xue has improved," said Qiang Shen.

Both Qiang Shen and Jiang Chen saw how Yin Xue started with the first set of movements of her cultivation technique. "Sis Xue has improved a lot" said Qiang Shen "her movements are more fluid and precise". Yin Xue listened to Qiang Shen's congratulations and smiled slightly, which caused her to make a mistake in a movement "Do not distract yourself!" Qiang Shen told him. After Yin Xue finished the first set of moves, she was going to start performing the second but Qiang Shen stopped her. "I know you can finish the second set of moves but you need to perfect the first set. You must learn not to lose concentration or you will lose all the energy and all the effort you used to use it". Said Qiang Shen without knowing that he was the reason why she became deconcentrated.

"Then we continue with bro-Chen" said Qiang Shen. "According to what the elemental book of fire spells says, you must first activate and connect your mana heart with the mana brain to see and feel the natural energy, then you must concentrate the mana in your hand and attract the natural energy of fire, then you have to combine your mana with that natural energy and make an image in your head with the shape of a flame. "

After Qiang Shen finished saying the procedure, Jiang Chen began to concentrate. First he activated his mana heart and his mana brain, it took him less than a minute to do it. Immediately as soon as he made the connection of those 2, he began to see what appeared to be transparent fog of various colors, there were some more and there were a few less, then he began to concentrate the mana of his body in his right hand. Thanks to his constant practice of magic control, the mana of his body was enough to be able to cast a level one spell, or that was what Qiang Shen had told him.

With the mana gathered in his hand, he began to gather natural fire energy into his hand and little by little began to combine it. When he was combining them, Qiang Shen reminded him the last step and Jiang Chen closed his eyes and began to imagine his hand on fire. Not even 5 seconds pa.s.sed when Jiang Chen began to feel in his right hand, a warmth that was increasing little by little and when he opened his eyes, he saw how his hand started to fire, but not a big flame, it was a small flame but consistent. At that moment Qiang Shen took a small piece of tree bark from his pocket, put it on the ground and walked away a little. "Now bro, get close to that piece of wood and touch it with your hand on," he told Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen did what his friend told him, and as soon as his hand touched the wood, the small piece began to burn in flames while the fire in his hand had disappeared. "Eh?! What happened? Why did it disappear?!" Jiang Chen ask scared. "I had told you that fire magic is mostly used as attack magic," Qiang Shen replied, "so when you touched that wood, you transferred your fire to that object, basically it counts as if you attacked it. We are going to practice that magic for several days, when you have improved your control more then we can start with the first level 1 spell: Fireball "

For the first time since he started practicing magic, Jiang Chen did not end up tired. "That's because when you activate magic, unlike the practice of control, you only use a small portion to activate it and launch it, I told you before, magic alters the physical laws of this world.

At that moment, the bell that signals the end of the lunch hour begins to sound and the three friends return to their cla.s.sroom fully satisfied by the results of that day.

---------------------------------------------------

While the three friends were in their practice, a certain distance, above the second building of the school was a young man watching everything that happened. When the three of them finished and left, the young man began to smile and his eyes showed a glimmer of hope, as if he had just found his savior.

"I do not know what the Qianbei are doing, but if I don't imagine what I saw, then Qiang Shen-Qianbei can help me," said the young man as he began to shed tears and calmly returned to his cla.s.sroom.
