One-Eyed Monster

Igor got excited; this blue flame is exactly the same as Kadi’s thing!

Could it be that colliding two energies can produce devouring power?

That’s way too simple.

Igor was skeptical, so he tried again.

Gather two energies, then let them collide...

Whoosh—

A flame flickered, but the color wasn’t blue.

I knew it couldn’t be that easy! Igor thought to himself.

Then he tried again.

Whoosh, whoosh... several times in a row, the collision of two energies always produced flames. But these flames varied in size, some dim, some bright, mostly in the flame’s original yellow color, with a few red ones; blue didn’t appear again...

I don’t believe this...

Unwilling to give up, Igor tried once more. He thought that since he could produce blue flame the first time, why couldn’t he do it again? It didn’t make sense.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The flames flickered across his palm, appearing and extinguishing repeatedly, it was quite amusing.

But the injured people around Igor didn’t see it that way. They thought this young man was out of his mind, constantly summoning and extinguishing flames, typical behavior of someone looking for trouble because of sheer boredom! A normal person wouldn’t be this idle; only a madman would do such a thing.

These injured individuals moved their bodies subconsciously, not wanting to be around this madman called Igor.

Kadi found this entertaining too. He hadn’t realized Igor had such a skill, the ability to release fire... He watched with interest, anticipating that Igor was surely cooking up a big trick.

”I told you to rest properly here, why are you playing with fire!” The young wizard returned, seeing Igor igniting flames with whoosh and started berating him.

And this young wizard apparently felt just scolding wasn’t enough; she turned to Kadi and gave him a good scolding too: ”Didn’t you say you could take care of him? Look at how he’s turned out, I think you’re completely unfit for the job, enjoying him playing with fire, are you an idiot?”

Kadi scratched his head, puzzled by how he had offended the wizard lady.

”Stop staring and extinguish the flames; do you think you’re the only one who understands the use of Flame Elemental here?” The young wizard turned back to scold Igor.

Igor hurried to apologize, ”Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to!”

”Don’t think you’re the only one with talent!” The young wizard stomped off, she had other injured to care for.

It was quite a battle, leaving many wounded. The younger members of the Kangen Family got much training from this; that young girl was an example, overwhelmed with work, emotionally a bit unstable, venting frustration on Igor and Kadi.

Igor scratched his head, feeling regretful about what happened as he indeed had no malicious intent. Kadi felt awkward too, letting out a long sigh alongside Igor.

”Who would have thought the lady is so fierce!”

”Yeah, who’d have thought the young girl is so earnest.” Igor stood up and said lightly.

”Hm?” Suddenly, Kadi looked at Igor with great surprise, seemingly in disbelief at what was happening before him.

”What’s up with you?” Igor felt very baffled by Kadi’s expression, why was this guy suddenly looking at him with such an odd gaze?

”You, you, you’re healed!” Kadi stammered.

”What are you talking about!” Igor still felt bewildered, unclear about what was going on.

”Just now, you were lying there half-dead, how come now you’re alive and kicking!” Kadi expressed his feelings, his direct observation.

Igor then remembered; he was still an injured person. Before, even speaking gave him headaches, but now he was filled with strength, feeling like unexpectedly recovered.

”I’m also surprised, how come I’m suddenly full of energy!” Igor squeezed his fist, testing his strength, realizing his body was still slightly tired, feeling numb, but not as strongly as before.

”Really miraculous!”

”Does he have self-healing abilities?”

”His recovery speed is quite terrifying!”

...

Gradually, people around began discussing, astonished by Igor’s condition, feeling his recovery was astonishingly fast.

Igor was puzzled too; he hadn’t done anything, how did it turn out this way? Perhaps it was related to the flame he had just played with?

If so, this was indeed a new discovery.

Kadi looked at Igor, ”Have you discovered something new again, how did you suddenly become like this, recovering really unusually!”

”Uh, I just did some small experiments!”

”Experiments?” Kadi was quite amazed by this.

”Yeah, I simply tried colliding two energies!” Igor didn’t hold back, he felt these things would soon become widely known.

”In your weakened state, you could still gather energy for collision?” Kadi was rather incredulous.

”Uh, yeah, somehow it happened involuntarily, didn’t take much strength...” Igor suddenly found it peculiar too.

”Seems like this really is a new discovery!” Kadi said, feeling Igor’s understanding had progressed further.

”Come to think of it, it relates to you!” Igor naturally thought of Kadi while recalling his experiments.

”Has something to do with me!”

”Yeah, your blue flame is exactly what I was attempting to produce!” Igor replied.

”What!” Kadi was really surprised by Igor’s answer, ”You were playing with fire trying to reproduce my blue flame?”

”Yes, I succeeded the first time, but never again, which is why I kept trying, again and again!” Igor explained.

”Uh... I thought you adopted a flame as a pet...”

”I’m not Stan Sol, oh, speaking of Stan, I remembered, this blue flame might be related to the Teleportation Spell of Sol and his group!”

”Hm?” Kadi suddenly became intrigued by Igor’s statement.

”I think we should quickly contact Luona there; there are many things we must discuss thoroughly!” Igor said calmly.
