Xander took out a metal dragon from within his inner pocket to look at it once more. He turned it over in his hand and stared at the intricate pattern that made its scales.
“Prince Alexander, the class is about to end, and yet it seems like you haven’t heard a single word from your professor,” said Mordecai who sat to his right.
“I just noticed,” Xander replied, ignoring his comment. “Dorin works on metal by thinning it out and striking it at one side, like stamping on a sheet of tin.”
“Mm... I guess he doesn’t actually manipulate the metal then,” Mordecai answered absentmindedly.
“Johan, on the other hand, melts the metal and changes its shape with his magic. The trait of a true metal master.”
“As there is no doubt, he is.”
“So... is Dorin really the Golden child we are looking for?” he said thoughtfully.
“I believe he simply hasn&rs
“Why don’t we do some drills on our own?”Upon, saying this, the young prince stood straight and clapped his hands a couple of times to catch the rest of the class’ attention.“My fellow students, since our instructor is not here to guide us today, why not do some drills like he told us to?” he said with the confident air which befits a member of the royal family.“I suggest a friendly competition between comrades, to test our defensive skills when it comes to combat.”“What do you propose, Prince Alexander?” an older looking student from the military department asked respectfully.“In a real battle, we could never really tell what kind of attack would hit us, so I propose that we have a small drill to see if we can successfully defend against different types of elemental magic by countering it with the opposite element.”“Oh, sounds interesting!” Dorin said
"Hey! No fair, using people as weapons!” Dorin frowned at the medic.“But in a real fight, isn’t this quite normal?” Mordecai replied with a smile. “The power over life is part of the 12 elements, and mind control, after all, is one of my skills.”‘And these weak-willed men are nothing but weapons to us strong mages.’Dorin stared at Mordecai whose lips still showed a tight smile. The medic was talking to him telepathically!“Then am I allowed to hurt the other students?” Dorin asked as two more students lounged at him.‘It is up to you.’ Mordecai kept smiling. The rest of the onlookers moved away after hearing what Dorin said. ‘You can always do the same and control these weaklings to defeat me.’“I’m afraid I don’t know how to do that, but I can do this instead.”Dorin’s eyes widened. Mordecai
Chapter 93 Dorin rushed towards Mordecai with a mad grin. He had always loved fighting. It was the one thing he does where he can let everything lose. Especially when he’s fighting strong opponents. It was also the one thing that his Mother has always praised about him. Not his lessons. Not the spells he could easily understand and remember. Not the crafts he tried gifting her with when he was still a child. It was in fighting – and winning, that he caught his mother’s attention and favour. That’s why in fighting, he loves to go all out. ‘Is that the best you can do?’ Mordecai taunted Dorin in his mind. ‘I’ve already seen all your attacks, may it be wind, water, fire, and earth. So what else can you do?’ “I haven’t shown you everything yet!” Dorin answered as he chased after the medic who kept running away from him. He closed his fists, smashed them against the
Chapter 94 “Are we being attacked by outsiders?!” Dean Alcione asked as he stared at the eyes that stared back. “Someone call for back-up! Send a message to the Morells for assistance!”“At once, Dean Alcione!” replied one of his companions who took out his phone and hurriedly made a phone call.“Now, can anyone tell me what’s going on?”“We’re having a drill, Sir!”A brave student finally decided to step up and tell the Dean what was happening.“So, you’re telling me that ‘that’ is just a medic and a thirteen year old mage having a ‘drill’?”No one else dared to say a word.“Just what is that medic thinking? Why would he use a catastrophic spell against a younger student?!”“Actually sir...” another student piped in. “We think it&rs
Chapter 95 Combat Medic 2nd Lt. Patrice Francoise Benette stared at the ceiling as he lay on his bed. He has been awake for about an hour now, but still hasn’t gotten out of bed. He’s still trying to make things make sense in his head.You see, a curious thing happened yesterday.A curious thing indeed.Johan, Dorin and himself had gone to their Magic Defence Class under Duke Leopold Louise Alcione, or rather, Dean Alcione, as he is called in the University. The Dean was suddenly called away to an emergency meeting, and the class was told to do some drills or simply go to their next class.He remembered that Prince Alexander and his retinue were almost late that afternoon. It was exactly 4 pm when they arrived. The prince then suggested they undergo a sort of drill to check their abilities to defend against elemental magic.Everyone decided to participate, except for Dagon who was too young, and hi
“So, what’s your first class this morning?” Dorin asked Seb as they made their way out of the SCS room that Wednesday morning.[I have Herbology with Prof. Dimitrio, then Advance Charms in the afternoon, with Prof. Raevers] Seb replied on his slate. [We will be starting with advance arcane symbols today.]“Oh, can I sit in on your class?!” Dorin asked wide-eyed.“Idiot, we have our Elemental Weapon class with Maj. Gen. Muller today!” Johan reminded him.“Oh, that’s right! That’s pretty interesting too! Also, I get to be in Marcus’ class again,” Dorin grinned. “What about you Benette?”“I have a class with Prof. Althea...” Patrice Benette trailed off. “In the Magic Department’s Hospital...”“We’ll see you guys later in campus, then!” Dorin waved at the other two as they separated at the Dorm’s
“Dog!”Eirian was right. Dorin was so glad to meet his pet again that the two collided when they met.“How have you been, you little rascal?!” Dorin fell on the ground as the huge dog jumped him.“Little? That dog’s almost as big as you are!” Johan said, eyeing the beast cautiously. “Does it bite?”“Only if I tell him to!” Dorin grinned. “I’ve had dog ever since I could remember!”“They were practically born together,” Eirian added. “Hence the name Dog, which he thought of himself.”[He’s really big. What breed is he?]“He’s a xolotl, the only one left in this part of the world,” Eirian said proudly.[A xolotl?!]“Oh, he’s endangered?” asked Johan.[More than that, a xolotl is a mythical dog that can control fire and lightning at will!] wrote Seb. [It is also said th
“That class was boring...” said Eirian with her hands clasped behind her nape. “Why do we have to take History when we’ve already lived through it?” She yawned.“It’s so we can learn from the mistakes of the past!” Dorin answered with his index finger raised. “And didn’t mother say before that knowing the past is the key to the future? Besides, it’s not just History, it’s ‘History and Politics’ and Aunt Agate said I needed it to know how this world works.”“It’s still boring.” Eirian pouted her full, red lips. An audible sigh could be heard in their surroundings.Dorin noticed that there were several students staring at his companion, some of them had even followed them from their last class.“Eirian, do people always follow you where ever you go?” Dorin asked his friend.“Ah, don’t mind them, I guess they jus
Thank you so much for reading thus far! Dorin and the rest of the gang will be back in Phasma Phase 5 :D . The faces in the dark have all been unmasked, and the secretive Erian aka Elazar Ravante the Silver Tongue has gone to gods know where. Dorin, on the other hand, is much too busy having fun in the university to bother about such things. After all, there's so much he wants to learrn, even when he gets stuck inside the walled city during summer while his friends go home to visit their families. But would he be stuck for good until he finally graduates? Join Dorin and his friends in their adventures, as the missing keys are found one after the other, leading to the road back to paradise in Phasma Phase 5. . Thank you all for reading Phasma! . This is where our book ends. Thank you for all the support you have shown me so far! . Farewell, `till we see again, this had been your author, Psynoid Al signing out :D I hope you will continue to support me by visiting my k
It is true that it is hard to believe the words of a person who have betrayed you. But someone was ready to believe everything about Elazar, even if he was so against ‘her’ when she was still Eirian.[How I wish I had a chance to talk to Elazar before he disappeared!] Sebastian wrote to Dorin when they got back to the dorms one day. [If I only knew he was my ancestor, I would have asked him hundreds of questions about being a silver tongue!]“Question is, would he have answered your questions truthfully?” Johan said after reading his slate. “
News of a terrorist that infiltrated the University spread the next day. The name of the people involved and details of the actual event were withheld from the public due to security reasons, but almost all students in school already knew that it was about Dorin and his friend.“Wait, what was the name of his friend again?” they asked each other. “The real pretty one who had a different hair and eye color each day?”“I think it was Ariel?”“No, wasn’t it Ellen?”
Blinding light surrounded Eirian, as well as thick smoke as the lightning found it’s target.“Did we get her?!” asked Johan who stood on top of a raised dais made of bedrock. He raised himself just in time to evade Dorin’s lightning. “I... I think so...” said Xander who was trying to see through the dust and smoke.“Wind!” Venet called, blowing the smoke and debris away. “How annoying.” They saw Eirian climbing out of a thick glass bauble. “Are you really that vehement to stay here, Dorin?” “That’s right Eirian, and it’s not like I could leave, anyway,” replied Dorin. “Didn’t mother tell you that I can’t leave without graduating first?”“Psh,” she snorted. “That would be easy. I could just tell the Dean to give you a diploma. Problem solved. No need to wait for years just for senile old men to decide if you’re good enough to pass.”“I don’t want that, Eirian. I want to learn.” “I can teach you everything they know, and more.” “Yet you would only show me what you want me to see.”
“Fools! Do you honestly think that you could put one ever me?!” Eirian said with a haughty laugh. “On me, who have lived all these years without being commanded or controlled by any other being?! I have waited millennia just for this chance to come, and now that it’s here, do you really think I would just let insects like you foil my plans?” ‘What does she mean by that?’ thought Benette who held Dagon tightly in his arms. ‘Just who is she? And how old is she supposed to be?’“E-Eirian... you promised!” Dorin said as he crouched on the ground, trying to push himself
Johan gasped when Dagon fell unconscious in his arms, the remainder of a half eaten chocolate bar, falling to the ground. “What did you do to-” “Stop.” The force of command in Eirian’s voice made everyone’s body quiver. No one moved. No one could even breath. “You think a mere dragon child would be enough to stop me?” Eirian said with amused laughter. “Now listen to me,” she said, only then did the people around her take a gasp of breath. “No one tells me what to do. I give all the commands here, and you will simply o-” She was surprised when Johan suddenly struck his hand out towards her. She tried to jump back, but wasn’t quick enough. The fire mage quickly grabbed her mouth and covered it with a rough, calloused hand. “Got you, you bitch,” he snarled with Dagon dangling on his left arm, still sleeping. “You think your tricks can work on me? I’m used to dealing with double crossing bastards like you, and I’ve got experience!” He looked back as someone touched his shoul
Benette concentrated on the quivering body in front of him. He knew that as long as there was still warmth, as long as there was a spark of life in the cells within a body, that he could spread that life to create something new. When he was younger, he didn’t know how to heal, he simply knew that a living thing should live, and so wished it. It was so simple and obvious that he just knew that is should be. Just like how the lungs keep on breathing and the stomach digesting and the heart beating. Now that he is older and more knowledgeable of the parts and functions of a living organism
The first time Patrice Francoise Benette used his healing powers was when he was four years old.Coming from a strict, military family, his parents both demanded absolute obedience to rules and utmost respect to the highest authority, which was his father. As soon as he learned to talk, he was taught to call the Benette patriarch ‘Sir’, and told to act accordingly in a disciplined manner. Toys were limited to practical educational materials.
Chapter 112- I Admit Defeat ‘Is that the best you can do?’ Mordecai’s voice taunted Dorin in his mind. ‘I’ve already seen all your attacks, may it be wind, water, fire, earth, and lightning. So what else can you do?’ Dorin didn’t answer. He tried his best to chase and hit the medic, but none of his attacks can seem to touch him. He wanted to release everything, drown in the power of his lightning as before... ‘As before?’ His opponent was a powerful mage from the capital, He didn’t need to worry about holding back or a possible overkill. He can just have some fun again. ‘Again?’ He looked up at the sky and called to the darkness, calling pillars of thunder down upon Mordecai. Still, the attacks didn’t work. ‘Still not good enough.’ Mordecai laughed inside his head. ‘Useless. Should I proclaim myself as the winner now?’ Dorin’s eyes shone golden. He no longer cared what happened before or here after. ‘Not yet.’ he entered Mordecai’s mind. And he had a feeling as well that
