Chapter 97 - Magic Control

After getting a good rest in the new home with a soft bed unlike the one he had back in the previous apartment, Theo went to school fresher than ever.

It was just a normal boring class, but he still listened to everything the teachers said.

Time went by and as soon as he finished all classes, Theo saw a message from Ellen.

"Theo, I have booked room A-042. Come here."

"On my way," replied Theo as he quickly made his way toward that room after leaving the class.

He returned to the third building and entered the room, finding Ellen waiting for him alone.

"I will be guiding you today." Ellen smiled and typed a few things on the screen. "We will use the same flat field like yesterday."

Theo nodded. "I have no problem as long as I can get stronger."

"Haha. I had gotten all the information about you before you fought Laust Lange. To think you are a completely different person right now… I'm impressed." Ellen smirked, telling him she had dug up his information. She didn't want to accidentally slip up, so she told Theo first to avoid any misunderstanding later. She was sure Theo didn't like it, but it was better to know it sooner than later.

Theo, on the contrary, had prepared for getting a background check, so he paid no heed. It wasn't like they were in a business relationship either, so he said, "Is it wrong to change?"

"Nope." Ellen smiled and continued after checking the screen again. "Alright. Done. We're good to go. Let's continue our talk inside the virtual world."

Theo nodded and entered the training capsule, arriving at the same grass field. He glanced to the side where Ellen appeared and asked, "What are we going to do today?"

Ellen touched her forehead a few times while her body swayed left and right, contemplating their next move. "I think I should explain about this moving magic first."

"Do you know anything about five aspects?"

Theo nodded. "Awareness, Breathing, Control, Technique, and Endurance."

"That's good. I don't need to explain from the start. Then you should know what you want to learn is inside the Control Category, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, how much do you know about control?"

"I don't know much since I can only summon all ten Magic Bullets and shoot them together. As for other knowledge, it's only about releasing my Magic Power."

"Hmm." Ellen paused for a moment and started explaining. "There are different types of control. They are Soft Control, Force Control, and Perfect Control. Soft Control is the type where you try to convince your Magic Power.

"It's the one that you use if you want to release your Magic Power. You convince them by opening the pores for your Magic Power to flow and so on. I don't need to explain it anymore since you already understand this one.

"Then, let's move on to Force Control. Force Control is similar to the Soft Control, but you let out more Magic Power than necessary, creating a turbulent flow in your Magic Power. At that time, you use your skill to help you control the Magic Power flow.

"Last but not least, Perfect Control. At this stage, you can do everything with your Magic Power. It's every magician's dream to reach this stage. And all those, who reach it, are at least above Level 500.

"Anyway, back to the topic. Which category does my control belong to? It's the beginning of Force Control."

Theo asked, "It's only the beginning?"

"Yes. I want to see how good you are in your Soft Control to see how much Magic Power you can release at once later… Need to check if you are qualified to learn Force Control or not." She shrugged and continued, "And it's not like my level is that high either in terms of control."

Theo nodded. "Please teach me."

"Alright. I will explain the different levels of Force Control first. In the beginning stage of Force Control, you are able to program your Magic to follow a certain path. For example, I want it to make my Magic turn around or shoot to the sky at a certain range just like what you've experienced.

"In the next level, you will be able to command them a few times like turn fifty feet to the left before making a turn. After that, you will be able to program them to do complex movements like zig-zag, loops, and so on.

"And finally, in the last stage, you will be able to program them to a certain command like following a person. After that, it's Perfect Control, where you have enough control to do everything you want. I won't go too much into details since I will only teach you about the first level of Force Control."

Ellen then raised her hand and summoned four Ice Crystals that killed Theo last time. "You remember that I forced the Magic to turn around, right?"

Theo nodded. "Yes."

"Then, I will be fine-tuning it to force them to turn to the left together." Ellen then inputted a bit of Magic Power and released the Magic. At the same distance where he got hit yesterday, the magic turned to the left and hit the wall in succession.

"That's it. I can force my Magic to move in a certain direction depending on how much Magic Power I release to my Magic. This is like searching for a perfect radio channel with a wheel where you need to rotate it to left and right for fine-tuning.

"And each amount of Magic Power will result in one direction. You have two tasked. You need to do trials and errors to see all the possible movements and perfectly control how much you release in your Magic to know where it will turn and such. That's why it's going to take a long time and a lot of practice."

Theo took a deep breath and nodded with a serious expression. "I will do my best to complete both."

"Good. I've set so the Magic Power in your body is unlimited. You can go all day to do this, but I will limit it until the school closes to prevent you from overworking yourself." Ellen then walked backward a few steps and let out the same smile that scared him yesterday… The same smile that seemed to appear only after Ellen figured him out. "Before that, let's fight. I want to see your real prowess, so I can give you advice."
