"While practicing?" Suddenly there was a voice of a man behind him, Feronica suddenly jolted because it was feeling good to daydream even there was a voice behind her.
Feronica felt familiar with this voice, she turned her head slowly and it turned out that there was a young man she had not met for almost a week here.
"Ah Brother Stephen...." Feronica stroked her calming chest which was somewhat shocked by the arrival of this young man.
Though earlier he did not feel the aura of anyone's presence here, but suddenly Stephen appeared out of nowhere. This sudden appearance is not the first time it has happened.
"Hm, just call by name." Stephen smiled gently, he felt not so good when called out like that. This is so that he can get closer to the others.
"Ah? It's okay, sister's call is more suitable for someone more...." The words of Feronica stopped there, she did not know much more about this young man, but all she knew was that this young man had outlived her.
"Older? Ahaha, I understand." Stephen finally received the call. He changed his mind quickly too.
"...." - ".Feronica looked at Stephen closely and for the first time she was aware of how the suit was being used by this young man. All black, ever since they first met. At once also Feronica's mind began to drift everywhere.
'Did Stephen have no more clothes?' Feronica was silent thinking of the reason why this acquaintance of hers had not changed her outer appearance.
There was never a man who did not change his appearance, except one who was so poor and had no money to buy clothes. But Feronica thinks Stephen is not that kind of person.
Let's recall how it looks. She has white hair with an attractive face. The look on his face seemed fresh and made others feel at home for a long time staring at his face.
His posture was higher than Feronica, contained and well-built. With all that in sight, Stephen is certainly not a person who can not afford clothes.
"Why?" Stephen realized Feronica was daydreaming, and was astonished at what she was thinking.
"Ah, it's okay ... Stephen's brother is from outside the village, isn't he?" Feronica quickly changed the subject. Although he wanted to know also why his handsome young man did not wear any better clothes. If he appears in the village then it is certain that the village women will swarm him.
And Feronica was curious why Stephen's sister did not appear in the crowd in the village.
"You could say so." Stephen nodded while crossing his hands, in the end Feronica's guess was true.
"Why indeed?" Stephen asked.
"Ah no, just curious ahaha...." Feronica scratched her non-itchy head.
Feroica was not too bothered with the appearance of Stephen, now his attention is back to tomorrow.
He looked down and then sat down, Feronica not paying much heed to Stephen's whereabouts. The focus is now on how to win the next day.
'Brother Stephen is now here, but I don't have long to chat. There was indeed something I thought about him .. but I can't relax now.' Feronica. At the beginning of this pretty gloomy day he wanted to immediately retrain from honing his magic skills and was unwilling to think of anything else.
This made this newly arrived young man astonished, he thought his presence would invite various questions, but in reality it was not at all. Even the situation now felt so quiet right after they chatted for a while.
Stephen finally sat down next to Feronica who was contemplating it, he did not really understand what this girl was thinking. But he wanted to spend more time in this place. His opportunity to get to know more about the one who set him free and to know the truth is the main goal now.
Previously he was in the area around here, precisely in a dense forest area near a vast cemetery that was rarely visited by that person.
He already knew from the beginning the air he felt was indeed Feronica, the girl he had helped before. Eve her strength has been more developed than before which indicates that she has been practicing in such a routine lately.
"Tomorrow...." Unexpectedly Stephen, Feronica started talking while sitting together in this field area.
"Hm?" Stephen noticed how Feronica's face looked less excited, whereas before he felt a higher spirit than today.
"Can I do it?" Feronica spoke to herself, she poured out what was in her heart.
Stephen was speechless, although he did not understand what Feronica was talking about at the moment but he could still feel the emotions coming from this girl.
Ssh....
Downstream the wind again hit the two of them, now around this area feels increasingly cold and dark clouds begin to spread throughout the village area, it feels like it is raining soon.
"You can...." Stephen finally said something after a while.
No matter what context the girl is talking about. Stephen felt able to understand from what was said by Feronica despite not listening to the explanation directly from her.
"really?" Feronica turned her head slowly, amidst the anxiety and insecurity she had, hearing the words of spirit made her feel better.
Stephen nodded with a small smile. "Of course .. You can as long as you believe."
Feronica's eyes opened wide, as if she had realized something about what Stephen had said.
Feronica sometimes always encourages herself when in difficult situations. Even to share what was weighing on the heart with her mother made it unpleasant. It was quite a burden felt by his mother and did not need to be added again.
Seeing so many shortcomings that exist in him will certainly make the spirit fade, Feronica knew this but at the same time she often forgot it.
However, this method is not always effective. Sometimes difficult situations even win and it makes Feronica so lost her own confidence, as she now experienced.
Feronica felt more confident after hearing words of encouragement from Stephen, he who had lost his way and hesitated finally rediscovered his way.
No matter what happens tomorrow, either about the ability of his friends or the end result. As long as he believes and does his best, that is more than enough.
"Thank you, brother...." Feronica slightly rubbed her eyes, like there was water coming out of it.
'I've come this far, being able to become a final-level disciple is a matter of pride for me and if I've done what I can then what's more?'
Feronica came to the understanding where she knew that there was indeed nothing to worry about excessively. Walking with the best effort is the only way he can stay calm facing tomorrow.
Stephen's simple words made a meaningful difference, Feronica's spirit began to rise again.
"Well then it's time to practice!" Feronica quickly lifted her body and prepared to train again with the spirit she had previously lost.
Stephen smiled slightly, he felt he could understand only by the behavior of Feronica which meant that there was indeed a bond between them. It was not only the presence of the girl that he could feel like before.
That way Stephen still has various things that must be known for the sake of knowing the truth of the reason why he can be released again.
'I can definitely be the best magician!'

- Back where the fight between Feronica and Yelena took place.-
At this crucial time Feronica still had time to reflect as if nothing had happened. At Yelena's time, her opponent showed a slight expression of meaningful astonishment.
"Can't win?" Feronica looked at Yelena who was now looking at her quite seriously, from her face it could be seen she was quite frustrated with what was going on.
"If I don't win .. I don't want to lose here either!" Feronica's voice rattled Yelena, looking quite surprised at what she said just now.
'I know I can't lose here.' Now Inner Feronica began to speak again. In the end, his decision was not regretted at all.
'This technique is indeed the strongest magic I have ever learned, but .. I have not mastered it.'
'I can't let Yelena do her best, she's strong and if left unchecked, it won't be good.'
Feronica was no longer willing to repeat the same mistake, which was to let her opponent continuously suppress her relentlessly. He also knew that the ability of the final level magic students would not play games.
Taking time and preparing complex strategies is not a very good thing to do today. Because what he was worried about could happen.
Saving an ace at the end can not do if he has lost first, right? Feronica was aware of this and decided to take it out, even at the beginning of the fight.
But the question is why Feronica instead uses the strongest magic that is not even mastered? Is this worth what's happening now?
'Earth Magic: Change of Place, the name is not cool at all.' Feronica remembered how she had first learned this magic, it seemed that from the very beginning she had entered the Academy.
*
- Feronica, the early days of school, two years ago-
Where did he know about this earth magic in the magic teaching book that was in the school library. A thick brown book in the corner of the shelf that light did not even enter there, covered in dust and from the cover alone seemed less attractive.
Feronica at the beginning of her studies wondered why the earth magic teaching book was abandoned like this? Where other magic teaching books are even neatly arranged and if seen is more interesting than the book that is now in his hands.
But Feronica in the early days of her academy did not directly judge the book just from the cover alone, she tried to read it and understand what exactly this book is trying to explain.
Feronica at the beginning was not interested because land magic only consists of various kinds of magic techniques survive and look unattractive at the beginning, at least until she knew there was indeed this type of magic.
Earth Magic: Change of Place.
Is there really no other name for this type of magic? Wouldn't if this was a powerful magic it would have to be accompanied by a cool name as well right?
But in the end by commenting alone will not make the name of this magic change, it will remain as it is.
Earth magic with the impact of destroying the surrounding area can harm anyone who is in the area where this magic.
Earth magic is the best defense magic, and does not stop there land magic also stores magic techniques that turns out if understood it can make users troublesome other types of magic users.
It was at that time that Feronica decided to continue honing her magic especially in this earth element, that way he can obtain many useful defense techniques and not forget also the attack techniques that are not less powerful than other types of magic.
'Magic Land: Change of Place .. I have to master it!'
