chapter 8 training sylphy my brother becomes a saint ranked water mage

Basil's perspective

after my morning routine I went off to go see sylphy. when I arrived sylphy was very happy to see me. as we were in her front yard playing with the toys I brought sylphy asked me "how did I created warm water with my hand" I replied"I did that with magic" she looked at me with sad puppy dog eyes and asked "can you teach me" I thought about it and suddenly I had a flashback of Rudy blowing a huge hole in our wall. I said"ask your parents" I go with her to ask her parents. her mom looked at me and said "we can't afford to pay you for it" I replied"don't worry about it. it would feel wrong to charge a friend besides I like teaching". then the mother said "then you have my permission"

I said to sylphy "there are a few rules that you absolutely need to follow. rule one you don't train or use magic unless I or someone trained in magic or your parents are watching his magic can be dangerous follow this rule and I will continue to train you"she nods in reply. that's how I began my magic training with sylphy. I told her to wait there for a second as I ran home to grab the magic book and then ran all the way back. trainer like I did with Rudy started her off with the water ball had her keep casting it until she got tired. it became part of my routine. as time went by she was able to cast more and more spells a day. one day she asked me how come I didn't need to use the incantation I told her how I can feel and manipulate the flow of mana to get it to do what I want I then said my brother is a whole lot better at this than I am maybe if I can get him out of the yard I'd have him teach you. her eyes went wide and said there's someone that's even better than you at magic. I chuckled at that and said "there's always going to be someone better than you". she said "can you teach me to use magic without any incantation" I replied I can certainly try. I told her to try to replicate the feeling she got when she would cast a water ball. so she decided to try it almost made me laugh the funny little dance she was doing. and suddenly she shot off a water ball without using the incantation. she was jumping up and down for joy. I patted her on the head and said good job. we continue to match practice until she was out of mana. then I took her home and went home myself. some days go by and I was talking to Roxy. Roxy ended up mentioning that it's tradition that when someone Masters beginner tier spells they can a wand. and I asked her "how do you get one" "you go to a wand Craftsman and have one made Roxy replied" Roxy said "I'm getting one for your brother for his 5th birthday" I asked "can you get two I'll pay for it" she looks at me and says "why" I replied "I have a friend that just mastered beginner to your magic and for their 5th birthday I'd like to get them I want and necklace that I made that I'm making" she says "is that so then all right I'll get you a wand". some more days past and the day of my brother's 5th birthday came. me and him were sword training outside waiting for things inside to get set up. and during all the times that I would train him in the sword I came to realization he has no talent for it. the most to be able to achieve is advanced rank in the north God style if he is able to use magic to enhance his sword play. after a while we were called in for the celebration. dad was doing party tricks.

the food was delicious. then came the gift giving dad gave him a dagger and started going on a long speech the same speech he gave me when he gave me my dagger and again mom cuts him off saying too long. mom gave him a book about plants. then it was my turn I gave him a bracelet with a gray wolf and rat design.

Roxy gave him a wand and was saying how because he could already use beginner to your magic she forgot to give him one. Rudy says "thanks master" Roxy looks a little down hearted about this in and says "you shouldn't call someone you are better than master you have more talent than I do so don't call me master I don't deserve it. tomorrow we'll have your graduation ceremony because after I teach you the final spell there's nothing more I can teach you" I interjected "isn't it a master's job to make sure they're student surpasses them if you're saying that Rudy surpassed you doesn't that mean you did your job well" I asked Rudy begin saying that I was right and that she would always be his master. Roxy just had a dumb phone to look on her face. and after that me and Rudy helped clean up and then it was time for bed. although my little brother seem to be worried about something. so I asked him what was wrong. he simply said that he was terrified of leaving the house. I put my arm around him and said " you can't let your fear rule you. leaving tomorrow will be hard but take it one step at a time take a deep breath close your eyes if you have to. but you got to keep moving forward if you let fear stop you now you'll never move forward. just got to take it one step at a time." Rudy looks at me and says thanks that really does help. the next morning Roxy was getting our horse prepped for taking rudius to wear his final test was going to be. she picks them up and helps him onto the horse she gets on it. Rudy is looking very nervous he closes his eyes and starts breathing in slowly as they had it off. I started my morning routine and when I finished I went off to go see sylphy. sylphy is doing well the kids are bullying her as much after I started intervening. I got to sylphy house and we went to our spot on a hill with the tree and did her training. she's now intermediate in all attack magic except for fire after her training I headed home. by the time I came back from that Rudy and Roxy were coming home too. I asked Rudy how did he do he said he passed with flying colors. Roxy went inside and collected her things and said that she'd be off that she's going to be off training herself. she gave my brother a necklace mentioning it was a symbol of her tribe. Rudy thanked her for all that she did for him and Roxy left. I asked Rudy if he'd be willing to train someone for me. he looked at me and asked who I said a friend of mine I'm not that good with magic and I figured you'd be a better teacher are you free tomorrow he replied with yes. mom said it was time for dinner you two so we went in for the night.
