My Mage System

Axel who had just joined them then said : "That explains why you were so tired yesterday, at least we know why now."

Kevin nodded, taking his hand : "I'll be more careful, I promise."

He turned to Alan again and asked him curiously : "Alan, have you ever absorbed particles of elements with which you had no affinity ?"

Alan said to him honestly : "Yes it has happened to me a few times, if you meditate in places where the spiritual energy is saturated with one element then of course  you will manage to absorb some of them, even if you have no affinity with this element."

Kevin nodded, so if he found suitable places in the future to meditate, he will be able to use all five elements, he just had to absorb enough to get to level 1 and then he will be able to absorb them anywhere.

At least, that was what he had figured out when he had seen on his mastery of the elements that the fire and earth elements were level 0, so he had just to absorb 200 particles to get to level 1, and Alan had just confirmed that this theory was possible.

Axel squeezed his hand to tell him that he got the message, both worked the same, he knew Kevin wouldn't have asked that kind of question if it wasn't for a good reason.

Eventually, the bird took off and Kevin took full advantage of the feeling of the wind on his face and the magnificent view that was offered to him.

Only, after just an hour, his excitement died down and after resting his head on Axel's shoulder he fell asleep instantly.

Alan then said to Axel, shaking his head in annoyance : "You should tell him to slow down a bit, doing too much meditation at the start will continually tired him out, and he will need energy for his classes."

Axel nodded : "Don't worry, I'll watch over him, I won't let him continue if I see it impacting his everyday life."

Axel then asked him, completely changing the subject : "Is Erik going to pass the selections to participate in the capital's tournament ?"

Alan smiled and replied proudly : "Yes, as he finished third last year in the Three Sects tournament, he is eligible to participate in the selections for the annual capital's tournament."

Alan then coughed as if he was embarrassed but asked all the same : "Do you ... You know ... Could you take him under your wing a little this year."

Axel winked at him while putting his arm around Kevin's shoulders, he said to him : "Since we are officially in our 7th year and last one, we have both to choose a student to be his tutor, I was just thinking about offering Erik to be his."

Alan couldn't believe it, Erik had been annoying him for a while to ask Axel if he could become his tutor, so he asked him : "Are you sure of yourself ? I mean Erik is going to be super happy don't take me wrong, but there are students more promising than him."

Axel simply replied : "Erik is a hard worker and I feel good with him, I will try to teach him as much as possible, I promise to give my best."

Axel didn't say to Alan that he thought that Erik had something special because he wasn't entirely sure about that yet, but with Kevin help he would surely find out if his instinct was correct or not.

He then asked Alan curiously : "And you, who did you choose ?"

Alan then looked at Kevin and said honestly to Axel : "I'm going to ask for a waiver to be able to be Kevin's tutor, this is the first time that the Sun Sect has a mage who has an affinity with three elements, plus his main element is the lightning element which is even more exceptional."

Axel was thoughtful, normally they could only choose a student that was in his or her 4th year and above : "Are you sure they'll accept your request ?"

Alan was quite confident so he told him : "The leaders of the Sun Sect already know that I want to stay at the Sect for another three years, until Erik finishes his studies, and I'm the most qualified to be his tutor so I hope that they will agree to make this exception."

Axel nodded : "It would be great for Kevin, I can't wait to see how good he will be in class."

Alan then asked him : "Do you also plan to stay in the Sun Sect while Kevin does his years ?"

Axel didn't think this life would suit Kevin, but he couldn't decently tell Alan that the two of them would probably be leaving the Sun Sect next year.

Once Kevin would have learned the basics of alchemy and learned how to create spells, he could fend for himself to keep improving.

Axel finally told him : "I haven't thought about it yet Alan, with Kevin we still barely know each other, it's not yet time to make big decisions."

After that, they talked about everything and nothing and they finally arrived to the Sun Sect.

The dormitory building was the largest and the only one with three floors, the canteen building was very close to the warehouse managed by Douglas and where you could buy just about anything.

These two buildings were arranged between those which were used by the mages for their classes and between the arena and the gymnasium which were used by the fighters to train.

The private pavilions were set out a bit away from the rest of the buildings, they were at the edge of the forest that was all around the Sun Sect for more tranquility.

Axel and Kevin were now renting the pavilion number 8, and once the giant bird landed, Axel greeted everyone and with Kevin still asleep in his arms he quickly slipped out to get his man comfortably in their new bed.

Their pavilion was quite spacious, there were two large bedrooms with two king size beds, a large bathroom with a small pool filled with a natural hot spring water and a shower.

There was also a large cozy living room with a kitchen and a dining area, nothing to do with the single rooms that were in the dormitory.

Axel chose the larger of the two bedrooms and decided to take a nap with Kevin.

Kevin woke up because he was hungry, and he immediately felt Axel's arms around him, he started to move to try to sit up but the fact of moving must have woken up Axel because he tightened his embrace around him and asked him : "Are you awake ? How are you feeling ?"

Kevin replied as Axel kept him from moving : "I'm awake and I'm hungry, is there anything to eat ?"

Once Axel was sure that Kevin was awaked and wasn't dangerous, he positioned himself on top of him and began to kiss him, it wasn't the type of soft and innocent kisses, Axel's kisses were passionated and set Kevin in fire.

He responded to his kisses with the same burning passion and put his hands behind his head to intensify their kisses.

When Axel finally let him breathe he said with a smile : "I'm still hungry."
