Ilya-nee went to the inn today.

Yuika's aunt asked her to help out there since there were a lot of adventurers who came back from the south forest with injuries and stuff, so Yuika's aunt decided to add an extra service for the adventurer that got injured.

"Erwin, you stay at home alright? don't go anywhere"

Ilya-nee wake up early today, she made the breakfast and wake me after, I ate my breakfast while I'm wondering if Merlin still in the inn because I remember some days ago Merlin and Cecilla decided to rest in the inn, the one that Yuika's aunt run.

Since Ilya-nee isn't home today, I decided to have some training in the backyard, I want to try out the non-elemental magic I read before.

I went back to my room after eating my breakfast, taking my winter clothes and the books from shelves, I stare a bit at the shelves and think of should I try learning the magic from this book or not then I took the book Merlin gave me from the shelves and stare it for a moment.

The green gem that reflects my image looks shiny, I decided to give it a try because, why not?

I took the other book I want to use and run to the backyard.

I place my books on the bench near me and do a little stretching after that.

"Alright let's see"

I sit on the bench and open the book about the non-elemental magic, the [ Imbued Magic ] really catch my attention when I saw it.

Be able to imbue magic inside the magic or stuff and can be activated as I want, so basically, I can imbude another magic to my ice forming magic, and let's try it a bit.

[ Ice Magic, Ice spear ]

I form an Ice spear and then focus on forming another magic on my other hand, I'm learning another non-elemental magic that I think would be useful.

[ Iron strength ]

I'm gonna try imbued one magic, for now, I want to try breaking the spear.

I place the spear and stick it to the ground.

I make an Ice sword to try breaking the spear, I take a position and getting ready to swing my sword.

[ Clang ]

The sword and the spear collide and the sword bounced off my hand, I try my hard to hold it so it won't get off my hand, but it seems that I swing it too hard.

I pick up the sword and the sharp side is cracking a bit, I walk back to see my spear and didn't find any crack, not even scratches.

I take a position to swing my sword again, this time I won't let it off my hand and grip it with all my strength.

I attack it again and after some several attacks, my sword split into half and broke into pieces.

I'm panting and drop on my knee to the ground, I look at my spear and it's still tough, not even a single scratch there.

Just what kind of strengthening magic I just imbued on that spear.

I rest a bit and sit on the bench to read the book Merlin gave me, I'm curious what kind of magic I could learn.

I train myself after I fainted that day, it seems the cause is that my body still can't take the impact after using a high-level of magic.

"All right, I will use it first"

[ Body Strengthening ]

[ Stamina Boost ]

I want at least reduce the impact of using high-level magic on my body, I don't want to make Ilya-nee worried.

"This is enough I think"

I stood off the bench and walk a bit further to the open field and thinking that this far is enough for the training and I put down my books and stand still, trying to focus on mana and my soul power.

A cold breeze is touching my skins, but I didn't feel anything at all, I was immune to cold already.

I take a position and focus on controlling mana, I want to reduce the impact as much as possible, and focus on casting the magic.

[ Ice magic, Frozen Thorns of Death ]

My soul power feels like it got sucked out, I focus on casting the magic circle and suddenly.

A ton of big spike coming out from the ground, from the magic circle cast below my feet.

I feel a bit dizzy, but I keep on pushing myself conscious, I'm panting so hard, but somehow I'm able to avoid myself to faint.

I smile and laugh so hard, just how amazing this magic is, but the feeling of my power got sucked out really torment me.

I fell on the ground and just stare and the sky hindered by some ice spikes, the sky is clear but so cold because it's winter in the first place.
