Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 84

The next morning arrived, and Zell met with Sid and Obsi outside of the house.

“Good morning human!” Sid said as he saw Zell approach. “I trust you slept well, and I hope you are ready to embrace the skies as you never have before!”

“I am pretty excited about it actually.” Zell said. “Had a hard time sleeping just thinking about learning flight magic.”

“First I need to teach you the basis of wind magic.” Sid said. “From there we can learn gravity magic, and then finally flight magic.”

“I have asked elder Sunea to join us as wind magic is her specialty.” Sid explained. “We black dragons specialize in gravity magic, so you will have two excellent teachers today.”

“Getting started without me?” Sunea yelled as she saw them in the distance.

“No, just telling the boy what to expect.” Sid answered back. “Now get over here already you slow old goat.”

“Hey, you are one to talk!” Sunea complained. “You are the eldest of us!”

“I don’t act like it though, do I?” Sid laughed. “Now teach the boy.”

“Fine.” Sunea said with a sigh. “Look human, the way to use wind magic is quite a simple task. Now that you can see and feel the magic around you, focus on the wind around you. Visualize that it is a part of yourself. Feel as if it were an extension of your own body. Aline your magic with it.”

“I will.” Zell said as he closed his eyes to focus on his task. He felt the wind around him like ribbons flowing in the sky. He reached out and grabbed some, making them his. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had created a concentrated ball of wind in his hand. “Like this?!” He asked Sunea, seeking her approval.

“Very good human!” Sunea said. “To have achieved a wind ball so quickly, it is a very impressive feat.”

“Yes, normally it takes years to grasp the concept of wind magic.” Sid said.

“Some centuries.” Sunea said, pointing to Sid.

“Laugh it up.” Sid complained. “I don’t see you over there using gravity magic.”

“I have the wind, why would I want anything else?” Sunea laughed. “Back to the task at hand. You now have a wind ball that can be used as you used a fireball and when it strikes its target it will create a high-pressure wind blast.”

“What if I combined the two?” Zell asked.

“You mean fireball and wind ball?” Sid replied. “I don’t think that’s possible.”

“I think I can.” Zell said as he focused on creating a fireball inside of his wind ball. The wind ball stuttered a few times before an orange glow began to form inside of it. Within seconds of the glow the entire ball was wrapped in a wreath of flames. “I think I did it?” Zell said as he looked at the spinning ball of flames.

“To easily mix magic so well.” Sid said. “It is beyond impressive. Throw the ball at the ocean, let us see what happens.”

“Alright.” Zell said and he lobbed the ball over into the ocean. As it touched the surface waters it erupted into a massive cyclone of fire and stretched up to the heavens. The waters around it began to swirl, forced to move by the intensity of the winds. The cyclone dug deeper and deeper into the ocean as it formed a massive whirlpool. In the sky the differences in temperature began to cause lightning to erupt from the clouds.

Everyone just looked on in awe.

“Thankfully I didn’t use creation magic.” Zell said with a nervous laugh, the intense firestorm looming a few hundred feet into the distance.

“That is a very impressive spell.” Sid said. “It could wipe out an entire kingdom in seconds. But I am afraid I must end it now.” Sid summoned his black flame sword and slashed the air in the direction of the cyclone and whirlpool. The slash cut the air and the ocean waters in two, ending the rotational movements. “It was growing a bit too rapidly for comfort.”

“That sword is impressive.” Zell said. “Can you teach me how to do it?”

“No, that will come after your magical control lessons.” Sid explained. “Remember we shall teach you that after the ritual. Until then please refrain from using any attack magic.”

“Right.” Zell said. “So, what is the next step for wind magic?”

“Well, you understand how to grab it and make it yours.” Sunea said. “But what about flowing with the wind instead of controlling it? Allow me to demonstrate.” Sunea closed her eyes and placed her hands in front of her as if she was praying. As she would move her body in one direction a breeze would follow. If she changed her direction the breeze did as well.

“This is called being one with the wind.” Sunea said. “It will take practice, but it is a vital step in mastering flight magic.”

Zell followed her example and closed his eyes with his hands in front of his body. He felt the ribbons again and focused on them with all of his might. He could feel them as if they were his own arms. He would move to the East and a breeze would follow, or the West for the same result.”

He opened his eyes to find the dragons looking at him with shock upon their faces. “You learned that way too fast.” Sid said. “I know a high intelligence stat allows one to learn quickly, but this is ridiculous.”

“Is there anything else I need to know about wind magic?” Zell asked, eager to learn.

“You have mastered years’ worth of teaching in minutes.” Sunea said. “You have also created a new never before used spell as if it were child’s play. I have nothing more to teach you about the wind.”

“Well, human it looks like it is my turn now..” Sid said smiling. “Are you ready to learn the joys of gravity magic?!”
