The Wiz
Chapter 51: The Dilemma

It's getting late. Tonight, Camoline ran away from her dinner schedule. I don't know, he doesn't feel okay. It all started because of the arrival of the Palace's higher-ups 2 days ago. Until now, the topic has remained a warm conversation among students. Even Camoline heard some teachers still talking about this. Of course because Zelden did not tell the arrival of the Palace's higher-ups first.

On the arrival of those people, it could be said that Camoline was quite safe. No one suspected him, and the higher-ups seemed not to be given the chance to earnestly search for where the Opal stone was. Camoline had heard from Barcus, if the Palace officials put on an upset and disappointed face when leaving the Academy. The true purpose of their arrival here was unattainable. However, Camoline still doubted whether or not Asdus knew the plans of the higher-ups.

Although this sounds very naive, Camoline has hopes that Aldus will no longer be involved in this.

Camoline exhaled. He was currently behind the Academy building. A place where there is a large grassland, as well as a lake with a view of the dense forest in the distance. It is one of the places to practice, and sometimes it is also used in one of the classes. Only, the students who often go to this place are the controllers of the water and ice elements only. They made use of the extremely calm lake water to train their abilities.

Slowly, Camoline's hands moved. Along with that, the water in the lake also began to move upwards. Follows every Camoline finger movement even though it does not last long. Camoline hasn't really mastered the water element yet. He had already gotten an offer to train even more, but Camoline was still afraid. He was very afraid that his body would completely lose all the magic elements.

Although Camoline was also very eager to destroy the Opal stone in her body.

Returning for a long breath, Camoline again moved the fingers in her right hand. He tried to concentrate fully so that the water in the lake can move following his fingers and last a long time. But then again, the water he controlled could only last a short time. This is because Camoline has not been able to control the power that comes out of her body. He has not been able to concentrate fully, and almost made a water explosion here. Because making an explosion is much easier than controlling the power calmly and regularly.

Camoline lowered her hand after failing again to maintain the water ball in the air. Camoline's gaze moved, staring at the night sky that was currently so bright and beautiful by the shining starlight. Camoline rarely looked at the sky. And at this moment, he was captivated by its beauty. Camoline sighed slowly. He can't just relax. Tonight at least he should be able to maintain the water ball for a long time.

Again, Camoline's hand started to lift. At that very instant, the water from the lake started to slowly lift. His fingers began to move, lifting the water from the lake to make a water ball. But for this time, the water had already fallen back into the lake before he had even managed to make a circle of balls. His body was getting tired from over-exercising himself.

"You've been pushing your strength too much."

Camoline flinched in surprise. He looked back with his watchful face. Not far from his position, it looks Asdus who began to walk closer to him. Camoline should have stood up and put on a watchful attitude. But his tired body made his intention was forced to be undone.

Asdus has arrived next to Camoline. Without hesitation, he took a seat right next to the girl. His face looked at Camoline who was already staring back at the lake.

"You want to try again?" tawar Asdus's. Camoline glanced briefly at the man before shaking her head softly.

"Because you focus too much on the results you want," said Asdus. Her hands were no longer on Camoline's head. He took Camoline's right hand. Lifting it easily.

"Tighten yourself and slowly flow the magic power all over the finger. Do not rush, or magic explosions may occur. After that, you can start raising the water into the air and maintaining it little by little." Camoline watched carefully. He also desperately tried to do the advice of this Asdus. Even though he himself did not know why Asdus wanted to teach himself now.

Camoline is moving the lake water. This time according to the instructions of Asdus. Slowly and carefully. The instructions from Aldus were very successful. They can handle water better. Even the water is able to stay in the air longer than before. Not only that, but Camoline can also feel if the water she controls becomes stable as well. Not like before.

"Now stop. Your body already needs rest and it's very late" said Aldus. Camoline directly according. In fact, he was more surprised because Aldus suddenly returned to speaking when the atmosphere had become quiet. Therefore, the water in the air was immediately returned to the lake quickly without Camoline being able to hold.

"You will soon master it quickly" said Aldus. He smiled at Camoline who was looking unwillingly at the water ripples in front of her. It seemed like the girl was still very eager to train her strength.

"By the way, why did you tell me that? Your element is not water" asked Camoline. His head turned, looking directly at Asdus. Even though 500 years have passed, Asdus has not changed. His face was as beautiful as before.

"I don't think you know that my element is not water." Camoline immediately threw away her face. He slipped. He should not have directly said that.

"But, my reason is because I want you to be able to control your element. Being strong is indeed the goal of everyone, but the thing that every magician must pay attention to is control" said Asdus. He took a long breath. Slowly he stood up from his seat.

"It's late enough for you to be outside the Academy, isn't it?" Camoline's head moved, staring at the Academy building that was behind her. Then he stood up.

"Your goal is just that?" Asdus raised his brow, then he chuckled softly. Again, his hand was raised and rubbed Camoline's head gently.

"You're my partner, my mate. Ready or not, you will be involved in a complicated and dangerous situation. Therefore, you must be able to control your magic and become stronger" said Asdus. Camoline's head is down. Asdus' words reminded him of what happened 500 years ago.

"I made a mistake first, and I don't want to repeat it again. So, I'll make sure that no one else will hurt you." Camoline's head immediately lifted and looked at Asdus with an incredulous look.
