    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith red. This guy loved to poke fun at him. And Jack would always get in trouble with him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like right now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Jack, it seems your magic iscking. How about I help you out." Electricity came out of Keith''s hand as he stared at him. Jack gulped,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can I not?" There was no way he could take it. Even if it was a minute, Keith would shock him like no tomorrow!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No." Keith was ready to attack him. But,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can you help me with my magic?" Keith turned to see Ophelia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ophelia, are you really asking him for help?" Eirlys questioned. Ophelia nodded, "Keith is strong and has a solid understanding of magic."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, what do you need help with?" Keith stretched his hand back and forth. Seeing how his focus wasn''t on him, Jack sighed in relief in the back.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m having trouble melding my magic."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Which element are you having trouble with? Even though I understand well, I can''t help you with some elements." Keith wasn''t adept with some.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The one I''m having trouble with is lightning."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hm? I thought you used fire magic?" Keith remembered Ophelia using fire magic in the beginning.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Fire is my main element. But I want to practice my lightning as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "Can I see how you use lightning magic?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Ophelia started to focus on her magic.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Stop, stop. I think I know what your problem is." Keith smiled as he asked, "What do you think when you are using lightning magic?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Should it be a spear?" She was casting a lightning spear.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course. Let me rephrase the question; what do you think about lightning when channeling it?" Keith changed his question.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? The lightning?" This confused Ophelia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I should show you an example. Take earth magic," Keith summoned a target from the ground,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"When you use earth magic, one way to make it stronger than normal is to condense the earth further." Keith fired a regr earth spear and hit the target.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And this is what happens when you condense it." Keith fired another spear, and that went through the target! This was what Alvin taught to Derek.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Each element has a specific way to concentrate its magic,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Ophelia nodded when she heard that. She questioned, "Then do you know lightning?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that''s easy. Think of it as one lightning."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"One lightning?" A perplexed look formed on Ophelia''s and Eirlys''s faces.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here," Keith said, forming lightning in his hand, "See how the lightning is flying over the ce?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Sparks of lightning were flying around his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is amon urrence when you use lightning magic. Most of the lightning would be scattered around." Keith realized.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"To make it stronger, meld it into one stream." Slowly, those multiple sparks concentrated into one stream.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Lightning element''s unique ability is the high piercing capabilitiespared to the others. Don''t think of having multiple bolts but rather one giant spark. Do you get it?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Ophelia understood.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Try it out." Ophelia nodded as she started to concentrate. The lightning from his hand melded to one. And she fired a lighting spear. It was much stronger than before!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Her eyes widened as she turned to Keith, "Thank you so much."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No problem. Practice with it some more. You''ll get the hang of it afterward." Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you need any help?" Keith turned to Eirlys. But thetter shook her head, "I don''t need help. But I think the others would beg to differ."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Keith turned his head and noticed everyone was staring at him with wide eyes. Heck! Even the instructors were the same.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Shireughed, "Keith, you easily exined such aplex problem."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Really? I thought it was the norm?" Keith scratched his head. Alvin and Sophia taught him how to use magic. He found it interesting and decided to train by himself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, that was not the norm. You exined it so easily that even simpletons could understand." Shire shook his head. This kid did surprising things out of nowhere.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How about you help out the other students as well." It seemed some students had the same problem.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I don''t mind." He didn''t mind helping out the students.
