Once inside, Kevin thanked him warmly and led him into the kitchen, he asked him curious : "Erik, what brought you both here ?"

Erik laughed and said : "Let me tell you, well, I had just finished my training and Alan had come to get me.

We were walking home quietly when he suddenly stopped and he told me that there was a problem with the spiritual energy around us, he asked me to follow him and told me that someone was surely preparing for a fight and that we should probably intervene to stop him."

Erik smiled at him and said : "Guess who was about to launch an attack on whom, as if Axel would have let you getting hurt."

They both laughed and when they calmed down, Erik exclaimed : "What a pain this girl seriously, did you know that she had tried to seduce Alan before to chase after Axel, that girl was really annoying when I was trying to win the heart of my Alan."

Kevin said to him sincerely : "I didn't know and I really sympathize ... Otherwise, it's really good that both of you came, we really wanted to invite you with Axel."

Erik then asked him not trying to hide his excitement : "Have you decided to tell us your secret ?"

Kevin knew that with this combat intelligence skill, Erik could only be a very smart, multi-talented person so he decided to be honest with him : "Um, that would have been hard to hide it from you anyway, one day or another we would have told you.

So, we decided to tell you as soon as possible, to avoid any misunderstanding between us."

Erik smiled at him and said : "You've done well, whatever it is, Axel has been our friend for a long time so don't worry too much it won't affect our relationship."

Kevin smile widened and he said in a playful tone : "Well, just remember what you just said when we will tell you about it."

Erik laughed, but after that he nodded looking at him seriously, and Kevin was a little curious so he asked him : "What do you think it is ?"

Erik looked at him seriously and then Kevin saw in his eyes what he was looking for, there were no more doubt for him, with a hard training Erik would be able to evolved his combat intelligence skill into the warrior spirit skill : "You won't blame me if I say what I think."

Kevin shook his head and encouraged him to continue, Erik then said to him : "Actually, I have no idea, all I know is that your knowledge of fighting techniques and weapons far exceeds that of our instructors, and that knowledge doesn't really match up with someone who is just 18.

Alan told me not to bother with it and that when you will trust us enough you will tell us the truth, but we didn't expect it to be that fast. Is it because of our relationship with Axel ?"

Kevin nodded and said with a smile : "Axel is a honest person and it would have gnawed him to keep the truth from you."

Erik nodded, he was glad that whatever Kevin was hiding from them, he cared enough about Axel to take his feelings into consideration, he appreciated him even more.

Something else was disturbing him though, so he said : "Kevin, you know, same if Axel if stronger than you, you shouldn't let him do that to you."

Kevin looked at him visibly he didn't understand what he was referring to so he cleared his throat before telling him a little embarrassed : "You know, all the hickeys on your neck, at least tell him to do them in places that aren't so eyes catching."

Kevin didn't know if he should laugh or cry but he chose to laugh and he explained to him what had happened and why he did those hickeys on him.

While Kevin and Erik were having a great time together preparing dinner, Axel and Alan tried to calm a completely hysterical Irina and their conversation ended in threat from Irina who swore to make them pay for this humiliation.

And even if the boys didn't understand why they had humiliated her, for Irina it was very clear.

Axel, whom she had diligently pursued, had preferred to choose a man rather than her, and Alan who could have chosen her to be her tutor and benefiting from the status of her family, had preferred to become the tutor of this same boy who didn't even have a family to support him.

She would make them all pay for it, they really had no idea how powerful and long-arm her family was.

After that, she stormed off and left behind Alan and Axel who were both puzzled because for them they had done nothing to deserve such a threat.

Well, Axel had already guessed it would surely end like this, especially with the act he had put together with Kevin, but he couldn't understand why Alan had been put in the same boat as them.

They both agreed to keep an eye on her and then returned to find their men who seemed to get along perfectly well.

Kevin with Erik's help had cooked simple but tasty dishes and the good smell of cooking instantly made the boys forget the bad time they had just spent with Irina.

As they ate, Alan asked Kevin how his first spell class went and Kevin proudly showed him the blade and shield he had created this morning.

Everyone was speechless, but Kevin was too excited to pay attention to their heads, and he kept going and showed them how he was able to create 3 blades at the same time and control them perfectly.

Axel and Erik were speechless because they had never seen this kind of spell before, and Kevin after only a morning had mastered it perfectly and it seemed to be very easy for him.

Meanwhile, Alan was thinking exactly the same as the other two, except that he knew very well that all mages could create their own spell.

It was just that normally new mages would rather copy existing spells than create new ones.

To have been able to shape the spiritual energy into a blade, that could only meant that Kevin was very familar with this kind of weapon.

But what really had surprised him was that he could also determine the amount of spiritual energy Kevin had concentrated in his blades.

And that, if he ever managed to introduce particles of an element into them, this spell would undoubtedly be a spell level 2 and maybe even a spell level 3.

Plus, his speed of execution for shaping the energy spiritual to create these blades was quite remarkable.

Alan then exclaimed : "Kevin this is amazing, you can already concentrate and control such an amount of spiritual energy."

He then asked him : "Who is your teacher ?"

Kevin dissipated the spiritual energy and returned to the table happy to have received Alan's praise : "His name is Julian."

Alan sighed in relief and said : "I'm glad the Sun Sect leaders listened to me, I was the one who recommended these two teachers to them for you."

Alan then explained to him : "When I went to ask them to be your tutor they told me that they had to think about it, and before leaving they asked me who would be better to teach you, they showed me a list and I was honest with them.

Ian is not only a good friend, he is a potions genius, as for Julian he was also my spell teacher and he is really great, you are in good hands with them."

Kevin was a little surprised to know that it was Alan who had recommended these two teachers, but he really appreciated both of them so that was perfect for him.

Then, he asked him curiously : "Can you tell me more about the introduction of the particles inside a spell, when will I be able to see the particles without going into meditation ?"

Alan laughed and told him : "Not right away, be patient Kevin, these things take time, and you will be able to see the particles of the elements and gather them together when your soul force would be around 1 000 points, not before, it's the time for you to become familiar enough with the spiritual energy around us."

When he saw that Kevin seemed confused he said to him : "For the moment, you can feel the spiritual energy which surrounds us but you have to be extremely focus to feel it, right ?"

Kevin just nodded so Alan continued, Axel and Erik was also very captivated by this lesson because they were completely clueless about this kind of thing : "When you will be able to feel the spiritual energy around us without thinking about it you will only be one step away from seeing the particles of the elements without having to go into meditation."
