Chapter 114

A blue portal opened up inside a luxurious lounge that was dimly lit.

A young man with snow-white hair and striking blue eyes entered and began to look around the place.

He soon found a little girl sleeping on a study table, her face buried in a book.

The young man stood there for a few moments in silence, sighed, picked the girl up, and began to walk towards a room.

"To think you're sleeping already... it's not even 10 pm."

The young man said while he caressed the sleeping girl's head.

He opened the door to her room, laid her down on the bed, and put a blanket on top of her.

"Aren't children supposed to be energetic as h.e.l.l?"

He said, and after he did so the girl immediately opened her eyes, startling him.

Her eyes seemed to be made of a dark blue diamond containing the essence of the sea inside of them, Two Dark blue diamond-like pupils similar to the boy's Bright Blue diamond pupils.

But unfortunately, one would soon be deprived of the beauty of her eyes, for the girl closed them soon after and had fallen asleep.

'...the heck?'

The young man, who was Alan Peccator was startled.

His little sister opened her eyes for a while and immediately went to sleep again.

Children, to him, were weird.

"How much do you know about the Ice Element Alan?"

The Vice Princ.i.p.al, Elena Frost Asked her student, who had asked her to train him because he was bored as no cla.s.ses were currently ongoing.

Multiple Children were still in the infirmary after all, and dealing with their parents was a headache.

Elena actually welcomed his request.

She had been cooped up in her office for the past two weeks dealing with mountains of paperwork.

She had heard the Sword Saint was currently busy with his other three students, who were not on Alan's level, so Alan would just spend the time in the training room by himself.

And to him, that was boring, so he came to his other teacher to learn other things.

His answer came now.

"It's an element above the four basic elements, specifically above Water, and its enemy is Magma, an element a higher grade of Fire."

Elena waited for him to continue, but was left dumbfounded when he did not.

"...is that all you know?"

"Yes."

"...what have you been learning in cla.s.s recently?"

"Mana application theory, Basic four elemental manipulation theory, Better usage of skills, Mana manipulation, mana amplification, and the other basic subjects before the vacations due to the incident."

He answered her...and she realized.

"...oh, I forgot you haven't learned about advanced elemental manipulation. Okay so listen well."

"Yes, mam."

"What do you think is special about this room?"

She asked him a question about the training room they were using.

He looked around and then answered.

"It's a spotless white room, you have maintained it well ma'am."

"It's a Very clean Room, Ma'am."

She was left dumbfounded again.

'...how high is his affinity to the ice element to not know notice the extreme temperature here?'

Was it not the same grade as hers?

"This is my training room, and the temperature here is -67 degree Celsius... it's enough to make me feel chills and you feel nothing?"

She asked him, even though ice awakened were resistant to colder temperatures, this was cold even for them.

It was colder than the top of Mount Everest itself!

At this temperature, it didn't matter if you were normal, awakened or even an ice attribute awakened. You were freezing to death if you didn't have any gear.

Elena herself was enveloping her body with a thick layer of mana. She had thought since Alan possessed the same recorded affinity rank as her, he would do the same.

...but he isn't even feeling a slight chill at this temperature?

"It is? Feels a little warm in my opinion.."

"...are you joking with me?"

"No Ma'am."

'Bulls.h.i.t.'

Elena thought to herself and then shouted.

"Lower the temperature as much as you can!"

And then, as if the room responded to her, the temperature began to lower and lower until Elena stopped it herself.

"Stop!"

She shouted and noted that the temperature was now -98°C.

"How about now?"

"Still don't feel a thing miss."

"...oh forget about it. Now Listen to my words closely."

"Yes, Ma'am."

She gave up, especially when the person she was trying to make feel cold was FANNING himself in this extremely low temperature, unfit for a human, and most species on this earth.

At a temperature lower than the Lowest naturally recorded temperature.

She gave up even trying to do anything.

"Listen, every element is special and can be used in various ways. Here we will talk about Ice and Water.

Ice element particles are very rare in the outside world, however, water element particles are not, and we can use this to our advantage.

We can convert the water elemental mana particles into ice, this requires a great degree of control however if you can do this, you can greatly reduce the mana cost.

Lower the room temperature to average"

She said, and the room began to heat up until the temperature was normal.

She then said.

"Get me two water bottles."

And immediately after, two water bottles fell from the roof of the room, seemingly out of nowhere.

She caught the two water bottles and said to Alan.

"The beginning of learning how to do. this is always with a somewhat large and compact body of water.

You can also do this with the water particles in the air, but even I can't do that so freely yet."

She then threw a water bottle to Alan, who caught it and said.

"Inject a small amount of your ice-attributed mana into the water inside the bottle, the water inside reacts to it and slowly begins to become ice that we can control, the greater your control over ice the faster the process.

If we do this, We can learn this to use our surroundings to imitate skills.

You can use a large reservoir of water to create a glacier with relative ease using this method at my level, even if you don't possess the skill for it.

And if you reach the level where you can do it on the residual water molecules in the air...you can even create little spikes of ice in front of your opponent.

You can control the water in the air, and have the ability to fight longer.

This is how you do it."

She said as she injected a little bit of her mana into the bottle of water...and the water inside the bottle froze completely in just 3 seconds.

Such a speed was shocking.

"This is your first lesson, try to learn how to do this in a week. After that, we can move onto how...you use it."

...she paused a little bit between her sentence as she saw Alan immediately freeze the entire bottle...using only a little bit of ice attribute mana.

"Done, what's next?"

He said...and to her shock, he even reverted the frozen water back into a liquid!

'...right he isn't C rank for nothing.'

Elena thought to herself as she consoled herself within.

"Next lesson is to do it fast, to moving bodies."

She said and made the frozen water inside her bottle back into a liquid, she uncapped it, and then swung the bottle.

The water inside rushed out...and as it did, a small strand of Elena's mana entered it and the water froze again in the air and continued to stay there.

...and to her shock.

Alan did the same very easily.

Both the master and student pair went on to do this.

Elena demonstrated a new skill, and Alan perfectly copied it.

And at the end, she was devasted.

Yet also happy.

...For she had found the opposite of her Archrival, The Martial Copycat, Ezra Fornum.

She found his counterpart, The Magical Copycat, Alan Peccator.
