Vacation or Training?
"Is this suppose to be a part of my training or is Lina trying to find an excuse to goof around?" was what Miguel thought to himself while at the same time emerging himself from the deep waters of the ocean that he's swimming in now.
He, along with the Slayers, were now in the middle of enjoying a relaxing vacation that the red haired sorceress suggested three days before. The young teen could see that the beach resort that they've checked themselves into right before heading to the beach. He remembered the trouble that they had at the reception desk when the female clerk asked if Zelgadis was a monster or a performer dressed in a play, which in turn caused the chimera to become a bit irritated trying the best he could not to draw his sword. Another embarrassing moment is when the woman had commented on how could the group be taking along a young man like Miguel who appeared to be young for them to be with. Lina happened to say that he was a distant relative of hers and comments on their genetic heritage. The brown haired teen twitched at that and decided to let the comment slide afterward.
"Okay, I'll admit that despite just reaching the age of sixteen, I appear to be a bit young for my age. Not to mention being a bit tall for compared to most of the others. But that's no excuse for the crazy nut to be saying that I'm her long lost distant cousin. Speaking of which, where's Lina anyway?"
Finishing his thoughts, Miguel scanned his surroundings in search of the red haired sorceress. What he saw from his view within the waters of the ocean are the others relaxing on the beach in their own way save for Zelgadis who is near the shore in his usual attire reading near a table with a parsol on the table. He saw Gourry sitting on a laid out towel conked out and snoring as the sun baked his skin while he took his nap. As for both Sylphiel and Amelia, he saw the two of them bathing in the sun's rays each having a towel for her to lay on. At the sight, the teen would've maybe fainted for when he saw the two shrine maidens in their bathing suits relaxing in the sun's embrace.
While diving deep into the water, Miguel could've sworn that he could feel almost faint about what he saw. "Dammit! Why am I acting like a wuss all because I saw two of the girls sunbathing while in very attractive looking swimsuits...?! Augh! I did it again! Just what in the hell is the purpose for this vacation that Lina set up anyway? She says that I need to relax, but this..."
Right before he could finish the rest of his thoughts, the brown haired teen felt what appears to be a pair of lean and yet thin arms wrapping themselves around his upper body while at the same time preventing his own limbs from moving in order to escape. Just as he struggled to break free from whomever had him in a deathhold that nearly drowned him, Miguel felt himself being released from his captor only to hear what sounds like manical female laughter coming from behind him. As soon as he got himself out of the water and took a few moments to breathe, the young man turned himself around just in time to see Lina Inverse in near hystrical laughter, clad in her two piece red swimsuit but his annoyance soon made draw his attention away from her current attire.
"Dammit! What in the hell do you think you're doing, Lina?! Nearly drowning me in the ocean with that inhuman strength of yours?!" was what the teen shouted while at the same time ignoring the fact that she is one of the most hot tempered female sorceresses in the world.
"Well, excuse me for having fun with you, kid," the red head said while at the same time causing the young man to become a bit more annoyed at the name that he was referred to. "It's not my fault that you let your guard down while stairing at both Sylphiel and Amelia in their bathing suits. And here I thought of Xellos as the fruitcake pervert."
As soon as he heard those words, Miguel did what he would always do for whenever someone either berated or made fun of him for when it comes to seeing attractive girls in bathing suits. A few seconds later, his entire face soon turned to the color of a ripe red tomato stuttering in utter embarrassment. "L-L-Lina! That was a ch-cheap shot! Y-Y-You know very w-w-well that I'm not th-th-that kind of person! Not t-t-that I'm denying that b-b-both Amelia and Sylphiel are..."
The young teen immediately shut his mouth in order to keep himself from revealing something that he might regret later on for when he's on the recieving end of Lina's fist. True while Amelia, being clad with in a rather revealing and yet conservative two piece white and pink bathing suit, is rather attractive young woman with her...natural assets spilling out, it wasn't what got to him. It's when he has his eyes set on Sylphiel that his face started to go really red. Despite being in a one piece dark violet swim suit, the lovely young shrine maiden was able to shine brightly against the sun's rays while recieving her tan. If not for the fact that he's in the presence of two experienced and powerful spell casters, he would've drooled over the sight openly at the dark haired woman's presence. But the young man knew that when drooling over attractive woman near someone like Lina Inverse, it would be like committing suicide.
As he brought himself out of his trance-like state, Miguel soon began to remember the original reason why he was out of the water in the first place. He would have been embarrassed too if not only the fact that he is clad in a pair of dark blue swimming trunks but that his body showed just how much he weighed. True that his body isn't what most people would call a body builder, but it wasn't a stick like most people would say for when they see it. However, all of the years of being made fun of by teens within his high school days has brought some doubt and awkwardness about his appearance when in swimming trunks. And Lina's teasing about his personal life isn't making it easier.
"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever you say, kid," was what he heard the petite red head saying to him while at the same time waving off his words with flick of her hand. "In any case, you let your guard down for when I was underwater. Just what is wrong with you? Are you slow or are you blind when swimming in water?"
"Heh! Heh! Heh! Well, funny you should say that, Lina. Uh...well, you see...," that was all that the young man could say right before he heard voices of young females shout out to him as if he were like a Hollywood movie star or something.
"Oh! Look at that boy over there, girls! Isn't he just the cutest thing! It makes me want to hold him tight within my arms!"
"I have to agree! I bet that he would be a total hunk if he puts more meat into his bones like that cute muscle blonde sleeping over there!"
As soon as he heard those words, Miguel instantly began to feel a bit of annoyance crawling up his entire body. Under normal circumstances, if he were an ordinary teenaged boy, he would have been pleased and rather flattered with the compliments. Of course, when it came to the matter of someone poking at his body weight, it was a different story. As far as he could remember, the brown haired youth has always been picked on for the lack of muscle on his body by both students from school and familly alike. By the time that he'd reached high school, Miguel had developed a rather sensitive side or temper about his body weight, depending on whomever sees his reaction as. No one, may it be man or woman, is safe for when it comes to his body weight.
Of course, the young man didn't get the chance to snap his words towards the two young women that spoke about him for when he felt the presence of Chaos Energy within the area. Being familiar with sensing where the energy of the Chaos Emerald came from throughout his time spent with Sonic and the gang, Miguel immediately began to mentally home in on where the source of the energy came from. As it turns out, the energy wasn't enough to get the attention of any nearby Monsters that would want to swarm in on the public beach resort in order to find the source of the disturbance. What surprised him is for when he is facing Sylphiel's direction, the young man noticed a rather light but noticable red aura being emitted around her body. But what he really noticed the most is the fact that what he felt from within the usually meek and gentle shrine maiden is great amounts of violent Chaos Energy growing from within her along with a rather annoyed and angered expression on her pretty face.
"What the hell?! Just how is she able to emit that much energy?! For that matter, just how long was she able to hide it all this time without me or the others knowing about it? No doubt that it's way too much for her to handle," was what Miguel thought while at the same time seeing her sights set towards where the two girls were walking and giggling. "Would this have something to do with the fact that those girls were trying to flirt with me from afar? Why would she be jealous of girls who are obiviously trying to either flirt with me or make fun of me because of my body weight? Not only that, but why is this type of energy rather violent and..."
Right before he could have the chance to put in more tibits about what he thought about the situation, he heard one of the girls that was fawning over him shouting out to him, "Hey, cutie! Why don't you and your muscle friend come with us so that we...!"
The girl's words were soon cut short for when he saw the imposing figure of Lina stomping towards their direction with what appears to be a orb of fiery energy just as she spoke to them with a dangerous tone within her voice, "Hey! If any of you little skanks ever want to live to see your next birthdays, I would suggest that you both run out of here as fast as you can before I send this fireball right towards your...!"
He didn't hear the rest of the threat that the red head gave to the flirting young women for when in a flash she was restrained by Zel, who is now well aware of situation, using his enhanced strength to keep the sorceress from incinerating the two girls. At her threats, Miguel could see that Sylphiel starting to act more like her usually timid self and ran over to aid the rock skinned man at restraining Lina. As she got closer, the young man could've sworn that he noticed a small smile of satisfaction on the young woman's face just as she did her best to console her friend into relaxing.
"Not to mention the fact that when I'm close to her for a second, I don't sense any trace of that Chaos Energy within her like I did before," he thought to himself just as he saw the face of the once furious red head now settling down to the point where she won't threaten or kill anyone. "I guess I must've just imagined it seeing as being able to hear the threats that Lina threw at those girls can be a little frighten. Hell, she could even make an experienced army drill sergent tremble to his or her knees if she were like this back home. But I could've sworn I felt something within Sylphiel that is different from what either I or the others had experienced in the past..."
His thoughts were once again cut short for when he heard the commanding voice of Lina Inverse shouting, with what sounds like amusement, towards his direction, "Aqua Create!!"
The young man didn't have time react for when he soon found himself being soaked in a huge torrent of cold water pouring down on him like a waterfall would to someone when he or she is soaking beneath it. As soon as the torrent ceased its downpour, Miguel, now soaked from head to toe again, turned his full attention towards Lina and saw what appears to be a mischevious and pleased expression appearing on her face. This in turn, caused the embarrassment that the young boy had within him to vanish just as he began to say to the petite sorceress, "Lina! What in the world did you do that for?! It's no fair for you to use magic to sneak up on someone like that!"
"Not my fault that you couldn't use spells like that to pay me back without using that power of yours to attract the attention of any nearby Monsters, kid," responded the self proclaimed genius sorceress with her mischevious grin never leaving her face. "Also not my problem that you ended up as a wet blanket and one that couldn't possibly be even more soggy than Zel is now, I might add."
"I heard that, Lina," was what Zelgadis said to the red haired girl with a scrowl of annoyance within his voice just as he made his way back to his seat and resume his whatever research that he was doing while grumbling quietly about annoying red haired girls.
When the young man turned his full attention towards Sylphiel, all that he could see was her normal meek and timid expression reflected upon her eyes. The moment was cut short in less than two seconds for both he and the shrine maiden found themselves caught in another torrent of cold water rushing down on them. As soon as the down pour ceased, Miguel immediately turned his attention away from the shrine maiden and towards the innocent looking red head with a now menacing look on his face just as he said, "Oooo! When I get my hands on you, I'm going to make a splash so big that it would make a tidal wave like a little drizzle!"
"Ha! Tough talk, kid! If only you had the guts to back up that mouth of yours, then I would be in for a lot more than just a tidal wave," was what he heard from Lina with a superior sounding tone within her voice, her grin never vanishing. "Look, the reason why we're all here in the first place is for you, Miguel, to learn when to loosen up for when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. Not to mention try to get you to be a bit more bold for when it comes to dealing with situations like what just happened a while back."
He wasn't surprised by the fact that the red haired sorceress seemed to sound a bit menacing for when she spoke about what happened with the flirting girls a moment ago. Right before he could have the chance to speak, Amelia soon got in between the two of them by saying with a rather thoughtful tone, "I just thought about something, Miss Lina. Why don't you have Mr. Miguel read most of the notes that you've taken while you've been working on your spells? He's obviously a good study for when it comes to reading notes and studying them."
"Amelia, I'm afraid that it's not that simple," responded the sorcery genius while giving off a rather exhausted breath of annoyance. "In case you've forgotten Zel's little demostration with the kid, his concentration needs a bit of work. And to do that, he needs to clear his mind of the tough life that he has back in his world. Now, what to do about his trouble seeing in the water..."
As the red-haired female contemplated on her next move, Miguel quickly ran himself back towards the ocean right before his so-called teacher could have the chance to unleash another water based spell on him. When he dove back into the water, he could already feel the familiar cold of the sea flowing all around him as if it were like an old friend. Right now, he's glad for the greeting for fear of the wrath that Lina might inflict upon him. Of course, he also couldn't see where his attacker/teacher might pounce at him seeing that his eyes have yet to adapted into looking through the water. Of course, it didn't impair his sense of thought, sound, and touch which were a bit more heighten giving him an advantage that most people wouldn't have. This however, wouldn't prevent any on coming attack that the red haired sorceress has in store for the young man as he waited patiently for what seemed to be like five minutes.
"Okay, I'm not being frozen to death by a spell or being swept into a huge tornado," was what Miguel thought as he panickly waited for the appearance of one of the sorceress' spells to hit him. "Just what is that little wacko planning to do? I hope that it doesn't involve the little red-head going into the water and coming after me like I owe her money. I get enough of that with my nephews at home, thank you very much. Now, where could she...?"
Right before he could have the chance to finish his thoughts, the brown haired young man felt a pair of strong arms being wrapped him in a gentle embrace. Right before he could figure if it was Lina or someone else trying to get the better of him, Miguel found himself being lifted from within the waters of the ocean and up towards the sky. As soon as he felt the air enter his lungs, the young teen began to thrash his arms about in order to free himself from whomever held him captive. When finally released, the brown haired teen began to turn to retaliate to his captor whom had their arms around him only to find the blushing and yet smiling expression of Sylphiel giving off a small giggle.
"Uh, Sylphiel, just what in the world were you doing holding onto me like..." was what Miguel could say before it was too late. He found himself yet again being drenched within a powerful torrent of cold water being poured down upon him. As soon as the water fall ceased, the soak teen turned behind him to see both Lina and Amelia giggling at the prank that they've just pulled. Right before he could have the chance to shout out his protest, what he felt next wasn't what he expected. What the brown haired young man saw are the two other girls jumping up in the air landing just in time to join their older friend in the ocean. Before he knew it, he found himself being surrounded within a bubble-like dome of which looks to be made of glass.
"Wha-What in the world is going on, Guys?!" Miguel asked panickly while at the same time striking his fists against the dome of magic that was placed around their being. "Why do you have a Protection Barrier around us for when there's...?!" He didn't get the chance to finish the rest of his statement for when he felt himself collasping upon the bottom of the energy bubble. The outer worldly teen turned his full attention towards the three women, who he saw were concentrating on maintaining the spell just as he saw themselves being submerged into the ocean's waters. Right before he could have the chance to ask what was happening or what they're doing, Miguel took a quick look around at his surroundings again just in time to see a sight that he thought that he would never be able to see.
What the young man saw is the sight of the ocean floor that he was swimming within before being on Lina's playful hunt. Only difference is that he was able to see it without the waters of the sea to hinder his eyesight. The reefs that he saw on the bottom is as colorful as what he saw in most of the text books that he'd read from his Science class. Small but noticable schools of fish passed by their path just as he and the three female magic users went deeper into the depths of the ocean. As they went deeper, the brown haired teen noticed that they all three continuing to hold their concentration a bit longer in order to finish chanting their own individual spell. When seeing each of them finish, the three females broke out of their trances and turned their full attention towards his direction with sighs of relief due to their hard work on concentrating.
After a moment of uneasy silence, Miguel broke it by saying with a rather amazed and confused tone as he continued to watch the scene through the clear bubble, "Amazing! This is something that I've never thought that I would be able to see the ocean like this. I mean, never mind that! Just what is the point in putting the four us in a huge bubble with a great view of the ocean floor? Is there something that I should know?"
As soon as he finished asking, the brown haired visitor from another world got his answer in the form of a smiling Lina Inverse just as she spoke to him in a rather proud and confident tone of voice, "Well, kid, what we're trying to show you is how well that you could use your magic when you really put your mind to it. I mean, for instance, have you noticed how the three of us were still able to maintain the spell without putting too much effort or even noticing it's still there? The reason why the spells haven't burst like an ordinary bubble is because of the level of magic that the three of us possess. Heh! They've become so relatively easy for us to handle that we could keep this up for six hours and not feel tired."
"Uh, well, that's all good to know, Lina, but what does this have to with me being here?" was what the bewildered youth asked his teacher just as he heard her giving off a sigh of annoyance and impatience.
"Sigh! Amelia, would you mind giving this clueless kid a summary of what I mean while I take time to relax? I don't feel like trying to sum it up for his slow mind right now."
Right before he could have the chance to retort to the red haired sorceress' words, Miguel felt himself being pulled away from Lina's path of fire by both Amelia and Sylphiel while at the same time frighten at the reaction that their emotions have on their combined spells. "Mr. Miguel, please try to understand what we're going to tell you," was what the busty young female while at the same time trying to calm herself just as the trembling reaction within the dome shield which is now beginning to become calm and stable. "Please don't do anything that might make Miss Lina mad at the moment for any stress whatsoever would cause our spells to dissapate at any given moment. Just be grateful that she's calmed down a bit so that nothing bad would happen."
"Sighs! Fine, Amelia. I won't get into an arguement with the hot head and listen," was what the young man responded while at the same time trying to forget what his female magic teacher said about him. "Now, can you please tell me what Lina meant for when she talked about the way that you three are able to maintain your spells without much as a flinch. I mean, you make it look too easy. And try not to call me with the 'Mr.' in front of my name, would you? You make me sound old."
"Well, as Miss Lina has said to you before, M..., I mean, Miguel. How long we are able to maintain a spell really depends on the level of magic we have. You see, a normal person who's just starting out learning how to use magic would need to learn on how to tap into the source for their spells. It usually takes him or her months or even years of training in order to do so. But from what Miss Lina and Miss Sylphiel told me, you're a special case."
"Wha-What do you mean by that?" was what the brown haired teen asked the young self-proclaimed hero of justice while feeling.
"Please allow me to explain this one, Miss Amelia," he heard Sylphiel saying to the younger girl while at the same time noticing that her tone seemed to be a bit hesitate right before he noticed her walking towards his direction and looking at him with a worried expression before she whispered into his ear. "Miguel, do you remember that time when we've fought with...a part of Nightmare Parasite in your world?"
At that moment, both confusion and what appears to be anger seemed to stream right out of the young man's entire body right before he spoke out in a outraged tone, "How in the hell could I forget that damn ugly thing?! I could barely get to sleep at night thanks to that disgusting creature from hell! When I find that thing one of these days, I'll...!!"
Right before he could have the chance to finish his angry rant, the brown haired teen felt a sting of pain crawling up one of his cheeks just as he managed to figure out what has happened. What he felt was feeling of Sylphiel's hand smacking itself upon his right cheek while at the same time able to end his angry rant. When he turned his full attention back towards the shrine maiden's face who he saw wearing a rather stern and yet worried expression on her lovely face. Equally surprising to this fact, Miguel noticed both Lina and Amelia with shock faces worn on their faces just as silence reigned in their private spot. Lina is the first to break the ice with a tone of voice that's just as surprised about what happened as her expression implies.
"Whoa! Now what in the hell was that about?! Sylphiel resorting to smacking someone on the face whenever he or she gets hysterical? That's something that you don't see everyday! What brought that on all of a sudden?"
"That's what I would like to know myself, Miss Lina!" Amelia said to her petite red head with an equally surprised expression in her voice right before she spoke again. "Just what happened to Miguel that has made him rant like a raving person out for revenge that would cause Miss Sylphiel to be so desperate to slap him?"
Again silence seemed to reign over their surroundings just as both the young man and the older shrine maiden were feeling a bit akward about what just happened. Miguel especially for as he realized that he let his anger get the better of him for when the subject of Nightmare Parasite was brought up. Right as he thought that he should start explaining his little outburst to both their two friends, the silence was broken once again by Lina who calmly began to speak in a surprisingly mature and calm matter, "Amelia, I think that we should just say that it's a rather personal issue that both he and Sylphiel would rather not talk much about. Let's just leave it at that and continue with Miguel's little lesson."
At that moment, Miguel wasn't sure whether he should feel relieved and grateful to the red haired sorceress at the change of subject or confused and annoyed at what the last part that she spoke of. Five seconds later, he chose to express a little of each just as he spoke, "Sigh! Lina, let me see if I got this straight. You've planned this entire scene just so that you could have me learn something? I'm grateful for the little change in subject that you've done earlier, but you could've at least done something that wouldn't involve having Sylphiel slap me across the face."
At those words, he turned his attention towards the older dark haired woman who he saw blushing with both embarrassment and mortification at what she did just before he turned his full attention toward the self-proclaimed sorcery genius just as she spoke. "Well, it's not my fault that you've lost your temper over something that seemed to happen a while ago, pal! Sylphiel told me all about how the two of you met and how bad it turned out with that creature that you've mentioned. Now, I have no right to pry into your own personal business if it's going get the two of you upset," was what Lina said to him in a calm tone right before her voice turned into a rather loud and threatening one. "But that's no excuse to just blow your top over it just because of some mistakes that you've made in the past! If Sylphiel hadn't slapped some sense back into you, then everything would be a real mess for when you attempt to cast a spell! The same thing that could get you blown up or eaten alive if you don't have any control on your emotions! Do I make myself clear, pal?!"
When she said those words to him, Miguel felt himself becoming small with fear as he felt the gaze of Lina towering over him like a huge scary monster readying itself to clamp its teeth upon its prey just as he said in a meek tone, "Yes, ma'am! Perfectly!"
"Good! I'm glad that you understand," was what he heard the red haired sorceress respond with a now cheerful tone just as she turned her attention away from him happily almost as if she hadn't been upset at all. "Now, it's time to go on to the final part of our lesson for today, kid! So pay attention!"
The brown haired teen did as he was told as he patiently awaited what his teacher is going to do for his final portion of his lesson. Right before he could have the chance to assume the worse, Miguel felt a finger tap gently on his shoulder just as he turned and saw Sylphiel's face looking at him with a worried expression on it. He took the one moment to quietly whisper to her, "Sylph, thanks for smacking some sense into me. I really needed it so don't feel bad about it. It's not your fault."
The young man's words seemed to have caught the shrine maiden off guard for when he saw a flush of pink appearing on her cheeks in embarrassment. Before he could have the chance to hear a response from the young woman's mouth, Miguel heard the impatient tone of Lina saying to him, "Hey, kid! Are you paying attention or are you just going to be flirting with Sylphiel the entire time?!"
As soon as he heard those words, the brown haired teen began to panickly turn his attention back towards the petite sorceress in fear of what wrath she might inflict upon him if he didn't coroperate. When he finally turn his full attention towards the fiery female, Miguel heard her saying to him with a calmer tone, "Good. Now that I've got your attention, kid, the last portion of our lesson could begin. Watch and listen carefully 'cause I'm only going to be doing this once."
What the brown haired teen saw next was something that he didn't expect to see. What he saw was Lina diving towards the magicial barrier that she and two young shrine maidens have created and went through it like a person would do when he or she were swimming in a public pool or outdoor lake as if the magic bubble like is made of water. Just as he was about to react, Miguel saw the red haired sorceress looking at his direction within the water and said to him with a confused tone, "Why are you looking at me as if I've grown two heads or something, kid? Is it that much of a shock that a person could breathe underwater with the use of magic?"
As he heard those words out of her mouth, the brown haired teen considered giving her a piece of his mind but immediately reconsidered for when he remembered who he was dealing with. After taking a moment to calm himself, the young teen from another world heard Lina saying to him just as he is still getting over the initial shock of hearing the red head's voice in ocean waters, "If you're wondering about how I'm able to breathe underwater, kid, then listen up. What I used is a spell called Aqua Breath that allows me to breath underwater for longer periods of time than a person who swims without the use of magic. But this spell sort of depends on the magical power that a person has within his or her body, which brings me to my next point. Miguel, think that you could place your hand on the Protection barrier for a minute?"
Relunctantly, the teen from another world did as he's told and placed one of his hands on the protection field that was place around himself and the two other shrine maidens. What he saw next is something that took him by surprise. What Miguel saw is the invisible glass like dome of magic instantly growing to a size that would have fitted an entire bus load of people. Confused at what was happening, the brown haired teen immediately withdrew his hand from the dome shield and saw it changing back into its regular size. The young man broken the split second silence by turning to both a surprised Amelia and Sylphiel, speaking in a shocked and confused tone.
"Wh-What the hell just happened?! As soon as I touched that bubble around us, it suddenly grew big for when I touched it! Just what...?!"
Before he could have the chance to finish the rest of his statement, Miguel saw the shrine maiden of Sairaag beginning to regain her compsure and said to him, "This is what I speaking of before for when I mentioned about that battle we've had about...Nightmare Parasite. You see, when the two of us combined our powers in order to destroy it the first time, most of the power that's used came from you."
"Huh?" was what the young man responded to the older woman with a confused expression evident on his face for as he tries to understand what the shrine maiden told him. "W-Wait a minute, Sylphiel! I was in my Chaos Form along with Sonic and the guys for when Parasite had beaten us to a pulp just before deciding to use my remaining strength to increase the power of that spell of yours. Personally, I didn't think that all of the remaining Chaos Energy within me would be enough to amplify the Dragon Slave to blow that thing to bits. If that attack hadn't hit its mark, then the two of us wouldn't be standing here."
"That's not what Sylphiel is saying, twig boy!" was what he heard Lina saying with a commanding tone just as he felt anger and annoyance at the name he's given just before she continued her speech in the water. "From what she told me, she felt something within you that she couldn't explain. When she first came into contact with the energy of this Chaos Emerald that you guys keep babbling about, she sensed something rather uneasy and wild happening within those green gems. But when she felt all of that energy leaving you, something different suddenly flowed from your body and into hers that's very familiar to her. She describes the feeling as the one that she gets for when she was finally able to harness her magic power for the first time as a kid. Do you know where I'm getting at, kid?"
"Uh, Miss Lina, I don't think that Miguel knows what you're talking about," was what he heard Amelia saying with a rather careful tone just as she pointed towards a confused and blank faced male teen.
"Well, in that case, I guess that there's only one thing to do," was what he heard the petite red head saying through the water with a rather mischevous grin that made him wish that she were yelling at him rather than acting like a trouble making sibling.
Right before he could figure out what the sorceress had in her mind, Miguel soon found his air supply instantly cut off by a huge torrent of water surrounding his entire body. Instinctively, the teen did the only thing that would save him from drowning in the ocean and that's to swim upward as fast as he can. Despite not being adapt with the seeing in the water, the brown haired young man is able to get to the surface just before his lungs could burst from lack of oxygen. Just as he managed to get in a long deep breath of air, Miguel instantly began to hear the crazed and uncontrolable laughter of both Lina and Amelia just as he turned to see the said girls doing so, minus Sylphiel who he saw is trying her best not to join in on the laughter. All that the embarrassed teen could do is scrowl at the underhanded sneak prank that was played on him.
"Great. The only time that Lina chooses to get serious with my lessons and I end up not understanding what she meant. Not to mention that when I don't get something in her lessons, I end up wet up the creek in water, so to speak. I could only guess about what else she has in mind for my next lesson. Oh, joy. I can't wait."
A/N:Okay, everyone, I know that I took long to get updated on my stories, but I've just been lacking from either experience and time or I'm busy trying to read and review fics that I've took interest in at this site. Though it shouldn't come as a surprise seeing that there's so many fics to keep track of. As a result, I'm going to have to lay back on the Maurice's Skit Fics until I get my long fanfiction project completed and up or completed all of my past works. Speaking of which, I've just completed the first phase of my fanfiction project named Silver Radiance. Now all I have to do is put the ideas down on paper and put them together in separate chapters. I'm going to try to at least update a bit more often so that I could try to get some work done. Well, in any case, thanks for all of the support that all of you have still continued to read my works. Later!
