Chapter 16
Hey everyone, the next few chapters will be really magic oriented so I apologise if you don't like that sort of thing but it's kind of important. However, to those who do thanks for reading and…
Enjoy!

"Hey, Arthur… What kind of magic do you even use anyways?" Asked Feliks curiously. They were both in Arthur's room, Feliks lying on the bed with his head in his hands and Arthur sprawled on the floor with a magic book in hand.
"Well, every clan has its own kind of magic" he said airily, trying to focus on his book.
"Duh, like everyone knows that! The Kirkland Clan is super powerful and I want to know why!" Pouted Feliks, not getting the answer he wanted.
"The magic I use is based on original Celtic magic; passed down through the generations. It's about making a bond with the Earth and calling on the power of nature. I use shadow magic, the perfect opposite to my light magic aptitude." Arthur put down his book and gave his full attention to his polish friend.
"Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a magic aptitude?" Frowned Feliks.
"Mm, but we have to learn to master all the magics. That's what makes us strong."
"Ehhh? How do you remember all that! I can barely master one magic, let alone two and then four more!"
"I don't think it's that hard, I already mastered fire and water but darkness is giving me a bit more trouble." Arthur sighed in frustration and glared at his book.
"Aww, don't worry too much Art- I'm sure you will be able to do it soon! Wait, what about the familiar magic your brother performs?"
"Ah, familiar summoning is the most basic of magics universally, your familiar is very useful in revealing your inner potential, but it's rare that people can take it to the next level like Dylan can. His familiar is a dragon and Yao has a Phoenix- it's why he's so widely respected. They can summon multiple familiars and even demons… Well, I'm struggling with the whole demon summoning thing…."
"So the Kirkland Clan use nature… Cool."
"I think so too" chucked Arthur.

It was finally time, the young Braginski members friends had gathered to watch the fight. He was at a disadvantage since it was unarmed combat, the Braginski magic was enchanting weapons after all. Yet he still expected to win?
"Are you ready to begin?"
"I was born ready idiot"
….
Arthur began chanting under his breath and preparing a spell while the Braginski boy rushed at him, intending to knock him out of the ring with sheer strength before Arthur could launch an attack.
Too late.
A blast of black light sent him reeling in the opposite directions and he stumbled out of the ring.
"H-how?" He stuttered.
"Hmph. Of course a Kirkland magician can activate a spell in half the time a normal magician can. We have incredible reaction speed and magic power but are physically weak as a result. Even a child could tell you that." Arthur snorted, losing all patients with the brat and marching off in the opposite direction.
