Volume 4: Chapter 38: One Lightning

"Tch!" Keith glared. This guy loved to poke fun at him. And Jack would always get in trouble with him. 

Like right now. 

"Jack, it seems your magic is lacking. How about I help you out." Electricity came out of Keith's hand as he stared at him. Jack gulped,

"Can I not?" There was no way he could take it. Even if it was a minute, Keith would shock him like no tomorrow! 

"No." Keith was ready to attack him. But,

"Keith, can you help me with my magic?" Keith turned to see Ophelia.

"Ophelia, are you really asking him for help?" Eirlys questioned. Ophelia nodded, "Keith is strong and has a solid understanding of magic." 

"Sure, what do you need help with?" Keith stretched his hand back and forth. Seeing how his focus wasn't on him, Jack sighed in relief in the back. 

"I'm having trouble melding my magic." 

"Hmm? Which element are you having trouble with? Even though I understand well, I can't help you with some elements." Keith wasn't adept with some. 

"The one I'm having trouble with is lightning."

"Hm? I thought you used fire magic?" Keith remembered Ophelia using fire magic in the beginning.

"Fire is my main element. But I want to practice my lightning as well."

Keith nodded, "Can I see how you use lightning magic?"

"Sure." Ophelia started to focus on her magic. 

"Stop, stop. I think I know what your problem is." Keith smiled as he asked, "What do you think when you are using lightning magic?"

"Should it be a spear?" She was casting a lightning spear.

"Of course. Let me rephrase the question; what do you think about lightning when channeling it?" Keith changed his question.

"Hmm? The lightning?" This confused Ophelia.

"What do you mean?"

"I should show you an example. Take earth magic," Keith summoned a target from the ground, 

"When you use earth magic, one way to make it stronger than normal is to condense the earth further." Keith fired a regular earth spear and hit the target.

"And this is what happens when you condense it." Keith fired another spear, and that went through the target! This was what Alvin taught to Derek. 

"Each element has a specific way to concentrate its magic,"

"I see." Ophelia nodded when she heard that. She questioned, "Then do you know lightning?"

"Oh, that's easy. Think of it as one lightning." 

"One lightning?" A perplexed look formed on Ophelia's and Eirlys's faces. 

"Here," Keith said, forming lightning in his hand, "See how the lightning is flying over the place?"

"Mmhmm." Sparks of lightning were flying around his hand. 

"This is a common occurrence when you use lightning magic. Most of the lightning would be scattered around." Keith realized.

"To make it stronger, meld it into one stream." Slowly, those multiple sparks concentrated into one stream. 

"Lightning element's unique ability is the high piercing capabilities compared to the others. Don't think of having multiple bolts but rather one giant spark. Do you get it?"

"I see." Ophelia understood.

"Try it out." Ophelia nodded as she started to concentrate. The lightning from his hand melded to one. And she fired a lighting spear. It was much stronger than before!

Her eyes widened as she turned to Keith, "Thank you so much."

"No problem. Practice with it some more. You'll get the hang of it afterward." Keith smiled. 

"Do you need any help?" Keith turned to Eirlys. But the latter shook her head, "I don't need help. But I think the others would beg to differ."

"Eh?" Keith turned his head and noticed everyone was staring at him with wide eyes. Heck! Even the instructors were the same.

"What's the matter?"

Shire laughed, "Keith, you easily explained such a complex problem."

"Really? I thought it was the norm?" Keith scratched his head. Alvin and Sophia taught him how to use magic. He found it interesting and decided to train by himself. 

"No, that was not the norm. You explained it so easily that even simpletons could understand." Shire shook his head. This kid did surprising things out of nowhere. 

"Thank you?"

"How about you help out the other students as well." It seemed some students had the same problem. 

"Sure, I don't mind." He didn't mind helping out the students.
