Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
Chapter 142.2: Irina’s lesson (part 2)Irina noticed her daughter was a bit pale and she told her to leave the platform, so she could continue with her explanation.
"I told you this technique was crated for and by commoners, but there is a reason as to why it's only taught to those with a high rank in the army, team spell requires the one using it to have a decent body build".
"The one who launches the spell will receive a recoil depending on the force of the team spell, the number of people participating on it and their realms of course… the current record is held by the field marshal who can join hands with up to six peak Archmages using their maximum power to launch a coordinate attack".
"Damn!".
Everyone's reaction was the same, they know knew the hidden story regarding how the magus emperor was defeated, the six strongest peak Archmages practically bombarded him at the same time while he was contained by twelve Archknights.
So, you can imagine how destructive the attack created by a half emperor and six peak Archmages can be.
Even Daimon was frankly surprised, to withstand a recoil of that caliber, the field marshal must have a monstrous body.
Daimon had a contemplative expression on his face, lately he has been wondering why after all his provocations, the Jolbaris haven't started a true war against the Argent and Revy families.
"So that's why there is a relative peace among the noble families, they are afraid that if they kill each other too much, the army will take over… not bad".
Liliana who saw Yvonne a bit out of air, rose her hand to ask something.
"Aunt Irina, you reduced your power to one-star rank couldn't you take the recoil instead of Yvi?".
Irina shook her head before answering
"Yes, but what would have been the point, of course an Archmage can take the recoil of a one-star team spell, what I wanted to show you was… that my Yvonne is awesome ♥".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYvonne felt her classmates looking at her and wanted to dig a hole to hide, but then she let out a sigh of relief.
"At the very least grandfather isn't here… or I wouldn't be able to show my face in public anymore", she thought.
This time Calvin rose his hand, as he looked at Loren.
"There is only one problem though, not everyone of us has a someone to team with, Loren, Liliana and me are the only ones with our respective elements in the elite class".
Irina shook her head.
"That's not necessary the case, there are still spots left for your class, so now you will have to find someone that has the same affinity as you, for now those whose elements match pair up".
And so, the teams formed, Leslie and Michael and Daimon had to be shared between Aisha and Yvonne.
To be honest Daimon could pair up with everyone, he got light affinity thanks to Gram, darkness and lightning were his innate elements and thanks to all the magic beasts he hunted with Aura, he also had the basic elements like fire, wind, earth and water.
If anything, he didn't have ice affinity like Liliana, but that could be solved with one travel to the frozen plains.
Loren, Calvin and Liliana sat next to Boris and Aliya while Daimon and the others went up the platform.
Irina had a weird glow in her eyes as she saw her daughter standing next to Daimon, but it only lasted a second before she explained the basics of team spells.
"For this technique the most important is cooperation, both if you need to be in the same page, the flow of your mana and the intensity needs to be as close as possible".
"Let's start with mana flow, close your eyes, press your hands together and feel the mana flow of your partner".
Yvonne looked at Daimon, her eyes seemed to glow for a moment as she tried to discern his mana flow like the first time they met, but now it was completely different to what she remembers.
After she had the courtesy of telling Daimon his mana flow was completely out of this world, he of course disguised it with the bracelet of the god of mischief, so now for curious eyes, Daimon's mana flow was still strong but not the point that it would raise waves on the stellar chart like before.
The first ones to start were Michael and Leslie, they both closed their eyes and pressed their hands together, while others couldn't see anything, in their minds both of them imagined a red stream running through their bodies respectively.
"Mm?", Leslie focused on Michael's mana flow, unlike her, his had a mix between red and a light green tone, also its current intensified around his legs creating waves here and there.
Michael on the other hand was having a bit of trouble following Leslie's mana flow, unlike his explosiveness, her stream was fluid and agile, as if it was elegantly dancing through her body.
They weren't actually seeing their real mana flows, since that was only possible with an extremely rare eye spell which specialized in that, or people like Leslie who had that ability thanks to her different eyes.
Irina nodded seeing they didn't immediately reject each other, although she didn't mention it to not discourage them, not all the mages were compatible, some which had similar mana flows repelled each other and the same happened if they were too different, the key was to find a midpoint.
She then focused her attention on Daimon, her daughter and Aisha.
"What!".
Irina's eyes widened, she nearly forgot how to breath, without she noticing, Daimon joined hands with both Aisha and Yvonne at the same time.
"Are you three crazy, hurry and let go!".
Irina rushed towards them in a try to separate them, mana flows reacted to each other, if they weren't compatible a small drawback would make them feel dizzy, but the more people was participating the higher the drawback will be, with three people at the same time they could get hurt if they weren't careful.
"No way!!!".
Irina stopped a few centimeters away from Daimon and the girls, on his right side where Aisha was standing, lightning mana was gathered around them, as for the left side where Yvonne was, a thin amount of black mist was taking form.
There was only one problem, while Aisha was calm and relaxed, Yvonne was having a bit of trouble to keep up with Daimon's pace, but then Daimon opened his eyes and her frowned expression disappeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this point Irina was speechless, she looked at the black-haired youth in front of her as if she was looking at some kind of legendary monster.
"P-Perfect compatibility at the first try and between different races on top of that", she mumbled.
Daimon turned to see both his mother and Yvonne, a moment ago he got carried away and although his magic core wasn't active, mana still gathered at a fast rate around him, Aisha was okay since she had her grimoire, but Yvonne was starting to feel uncomfortable, so he immediately stopped and then adjusted his mana flow to a more stable pace.
Irina couldn't see what was happening, but Yvonne on the other hand was more sensitive towards mana flow, and she was in awe.
"What the hell, he can control his mana flow at will as if it was nothing!", she thought.
Modifying one's mana flow was possible, but it required a lot of training and it couldn't be done in a small amount of time… or there was a possibility of their mana circuits breaking and their organs failing.
"I guess nothing he does should surprise me at this point", thought Yvonne before she let go of Daimon's hand.
Aisha on the other hand extended her free arm and then pointed at the sky before shouting.
"Tempest!".
A cloud formed above the training grounds and lightning fell on a wide area of about 100 meters.
Boris waved his hand and a barrier made of mana protected all the presents form the electric currents that ran wild through the floor of the training grounds.
Daimon's body was also assaulted by electricity since he took all the recoil of the technique, but he didn't flinch, this level of lightning was nothing for him after all.
The other students on the other hand were in awe, tempest is the lowest tier of wide area lightning element spell, it's a one-star spell which is supposed to cover about a thirty meters area with lightning… but Aisha tripled its reach.
Only after the spell finished, Aisha let go of Daimon's hand, not without making sure he was fine.
"Are you okay?", she asked to her son.
Daimon nodded, "Yup, it felt weird to have my mana reserves decreased but not launching a spell, but besides that the recoil is nothing".
For Daimon who used to feel as if his body was going to break after Aura's training or those times when he used core synchrony, this recoil was like a soft breeze.
