The morning sun shone brightly, and the rays flickered into the small room and caused a teenage boy to wake up from his slumber. He stood up from his bed sluggishly, yawning, while stretching his body. After making sure he was fully awake, he walked into the bathroom to get ready for the day's activity.In a few minutes, he stepped out of the bathroom fully clothed in his leather brown jacket and black trousers. He picked up his bag before exiting his room.Exiting the room, he arrived in the living room where an elderly man could be seen sitting down behind a round table and having breakfast. "Good morning, Dad." The boy known as Eric greeted as he sat down in the chair opposite his father and picked up a spoon to start eating."How was your night?" Eric's father, known as Gary, inquired while eating his breakfast."Good, I guess," Eric responded softly as he dug into his food and began to fill up his mouth."Don't tell me you are still concerned about yesterday's incident?" Gary q

Eric picked himself back up after the pain reduced, and he began to head back home.Every time Eric headed back home, he usually took a route that would lead him to the backyard of his home.But today, he noticed Kent and his group heading towards that same route after beating the crap out of him, so he decided to go home through a route that he had no idea of.He walked into the woods and began to make his way forward with his hands deflecting off the branches blocking his path. The place was filled with tall trees that barely had leaves on them and were really dry, and the floor was littered with brown leaves.The area was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of birds chirping. Eric advanced; he had no idea where he was headed, but he hoped it would lead him back home.He would have taken the usual route, but he was afraid of running into Kent and his group, and they would end up beating him up again. "Those guys won't just leave me alone. I wonder what it is

"Shut up!" Eric shouted as he threw out both of his hands with his palms wide open, and what looked like a round fireball shot out from the palms of his hands and headed towards Ali.Catching sight of the beam heading towards him, Ali stretched forth his wand and muttered a quick spell, and what looked like ice shot out from his wand and got rid of the incoming fireball.Eric's eyes widened in shock at what had just happened, and he quickly shifted his gaze to his palms, where the fireballs came from. "Did I just cast a spell?" Eric uttered in disbelief."You are a natural, Eric. I didn't expect any less from the descendant of the Phoenix goddess. Your magic must have triggered unconsciously when you were filled with several emotions like anger, sadness, confusion, and joy. Sometimes your emotions could help you control your abilities and use them to the fullest." Ali explained."Also, I am sure you didn't notice the bracelet in your hand glowing before it vanished into thin air," Ali

Eric had his gaze fixed intently on the page of the spell book. The words that were once written in a language that Eric didn't understand were now written boldly in English.The page contains instructions on how to master the basic technique in the spell book. Eric glanced through the page quickly and also noticed a drawing below the page, demonstrating what needs to be done for him to get a hang of the technique."Circulation technique. A technique where I learn how to circulate my magical cells around my body, and once I master it, my strength, agility, perception, and speed would be increased." Eric mused with his fingers rubbing his chin in contemplation.Every magician's speed and strength are far greater than those of a normal human without magic. Eric thought their speed was different because they must have used some spell to boost it, but the truth was they already mastered the number one technique in their spell book, which was to circulate their magical cells around their

Eric ran through the street, and it took him nothing less than ten minutes before arriving back home. He pushed the door open and walked inside. "Good evening, Dad." Eric greeted as he sat down on the wooden chair where his father had already served his food. He picked up a spoon and began eating. After successfully channeling his magic, Eric felt really hungry to the extent that he felt like he could eat a full cow on his own.The channelling drained all of his energy. "So, you want to tell me that you've been out taking a stroll?" Gary questioned as he sat down opposite Eric."Uhmm, yeah. I was taking a walk." Eric replied."Taking a walk for 9 hours?" Gary blurted out."Yeah, I was definitely taking a walk." Eric lied as he kept eating his food. "All this information I learnt yesterday was a bit too much, and I needed time to think about it and digest this whole thing," Eric added."I just hope you did exactly like I told you and didn't reveal anything to anyone," Gary uttered."I
