Ultimately we were all set, with the council either sitting or standing by the sides and away from entering the protective barriers around the fighting area, while I took a stand in front of Baraqiel as the man started to stretch a little bit.

"Why are there so few of those?" I questioned while turning at the Fallen Angels, some electricity crackling in his arms in response and causing me to tense up even more.

The Fallen Angel smiled. "Azazel told me that you are lacking in terms of offensive spells and attacks, we will focus on that on our first day of training together and..."

Before he could finish this sentence, thunder sparked out of his palms and launched towards me.

My eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected attack and I quickly erected five Light Barriers in front of me.

My jaws dropped the moment I saw the lightning passing through the white walls without any sign of alteration or slowing down.

It finally crashed on my arm, that I have lifted as to take the brunt of the attack within my limb rather take the hit on my head or chest.

The resulting pain stunned me a little, my eyes closed instinctively and, as I prepared to take on the searing sensation to the fullest, I felt it vanish in a wave of heat.

I could hear some loud shouting in my general direction, worried looks coming from Ruruko, Reya, Tomoe, while Tsubasa, Tomoe, Momo, and Saji were merely staring angrily at the smiling dark-haired man.

Sona and Tsubaki were quiet over the situation, merely observing as it all unfolded… yet I could see an odd glimpse in the latter's heterochromic eyes. Was that concern?

Yet I was no longer in pain as the dreadful effects of the unexpected attack had started to vanish pretty quickly, yet I could still see the electricity dancing all over my arm… with a striking difference from the ones that had attacked me.

It was no longer glowing blue as it had left Baraqiel's hands, it was a pristine white lightning playing around my limb and I could feel its power coursing around my Magical Core.

I blinked again as the electricity finally dissipated, leaving behind only its energy. Turning back to the Fallen Angel, the man nodded at me and sighed.

"That, Hoitsu-kun, is a suspect of mine proving to be correct." He started to explain. "You have an affinity to Thunder and a minor one to Lightning."

… "Wait, isn't that kind of exclusive to-"

"While the Holy Lightning bloodline helps to harmoniously create powerful Lightning-based elemental casts, people can still try and develop similar powers but they tend to spend more time to achieve what my family is capable of gaining in mere months of training," The new teacher pointed out quickly, gaining a nod from Sona.

"There are people that can still come close to achieve a partial control over the two elements. While not in par with Baraqiel-san's bloodline, the affinities can develop in quite the useful techniques."

"That's so cool!" Tsubasa and Saji almost said at the same time, causing the rest of the girls to giggle at their childish response.

"That's… neat," I admitted calmly. "So, I could technically gain some powerful techniques from training with this specialization-"

"At the expenses of spending quite the large amount of your free time to develop it," Baraqiel reminded, electricity crackling again around him. "I will show you some techniques and I wish that you use those immediately during the spars we will have."

I nodded and carefully prepared to see this unfold.

The first spell was what I could assume as Electric Bolts, which theoretically wee rapid-firing low-damage attacks that were meant to be quite common to use at this stage of the training sessions.

The second one looked like a transparent wall with some blue corners, it seemed sturdier than the light barriers and thicker in size, probably also having some elemental effect to contrast some of the opposite elemental attacks.

It was about the time that he was about to teach me some about the third important spell of the day that Sona had to announce that they had to leave by now.

The rest of the Peerage whined a little about with this sudden decision, but the bespectacled girl didn't budge from this necessity as it was starting to get fairly late, even though Tsubaki herself had mentioned that they could have spared twenty more minutes if possible…

But for some reason, the president was unwilling to consider that, her tone turning abruptly curt and… nervous?

I was confused, but also too tired and sweaty to actually comment on the matter. My decision to switch to a new shirt during training did little to solve the latter issue.

Still, I decided to escort them all by the entrance, hearing the faint sound of some giggles during the little walk, but ignoring it out of the fact that I wasn't feeling it to know what was going on.

A couple of seconds later, I was back in the training room, resuming the session with Baraqiel.

Finally, he showed me the third and final technique for the day, which turned out to be an… electric whip?

I saw Baraqiel playing around with it, seemingly distracted by something and then he suddenly stopped, his cheeks turning red and-

Oh no, I am NOT dealing with that kind of stuff!

"S-Sensei."

He twitched at my voice and seemed to break away from his reverie because of it, noticing that he had been still for a while now.

"Sorry, Hoitsu-kun," He profusely apologized, still staring at the palm that had previously hold the base of the spell. "Just being reminded of… my late wife."

I don't need this. I really don't

"She was so sweet and understanding."

A good sadistic and dominatrix too.

"I could even go so far to say that she completed me."

I mean, Akeno did get both the sadist and the masochist traits from both of her degenerate parents.
