Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Eye Chapter 171 The Eve of Dawn
As Tim said, for the next nearly a month, he was like a strict teacher, waiting for Eren in front of the cabin at this time of the evening, teaching Eren all about the light elemental magic one by one.
Alan never imagined that one day he would be able to see such a rich variety of light elemental magic from someone else, and this person was his father.
What he didn't expect was that this type of magic, which had once made him wonder if it really existed, was now not only systematically appearing in front of his eyes, but also so extensive and practical...... Not only can it emit light and provide lighting, Tim also taught him how to materialize the light element to create a light shield that can resist certain attacks, and how to use the light element to create high temperatures and produce different forms to attack.
Unlike the high temperatures produced by flames, the temperature and energy produced by these lights are so high that other objects evaporate as soon as they come into contact with it, as if they were melted. This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the effect of Cynthia's Void, except that when an object is destroyed by the light elemental magic, it leaves a faint burnt smell in the air.
It's just a bit of a pity that Tim doesn't allow Alan to do too much practice, and once he has mastered the spells and tricks of a magic, Tim will teach him the next one.
On the one hand, it is to be in a hurry, and on the other hand, it is to minimize the negative effects of this particular element...... After all, if this kind of magic is used too much, it will cause great damage to the body.
At the same time, Tim asked Eren to use these magic as the last weapon of self-defense, and not to use it until there is no way to do it or as a last resort.
At first, Alan needed to be led by Professor Young, but within two days he realized that this place was not difficult to find, just go down the hill and turn right, walk near the ninth maple tree, turn right, and keep going inside. In addition, he had a good relationship with the janitor Lotz, so he was soon able to enter and leave the school gate alone to meet his parents.
This is really the happiest time Alan has felt in more than a decade. While Tim was teaching him magic, Marianne was quietly watching, or cooking, and her eyes were full of tenderness. In between breaks, the family of three had dinner and told each other about the memorable things that had happened to them or around them over the years.
For the first time, Allen, who had always been silent and silent, felt that there was so much to say that every time he spoke, he seemed quite anxious, as if he was afraid that he would not finish talking before he went back to his room to rest.
Sometimes Alan would sneak out during the day to spend more time with his parents, but unfortunately, Tim and Marianne weren't here during the day, but went out looking for the last relic.
Sometimes, Eren would also bring Riel, Alyssa, Cynthia and others out with him, firstly to get them acquainted as soon as possible, and secondly because Cynthia also had something she wanted to ask about her ancestors.
Professor Young was always in and out of the castle and didn't know where he was most of the time, so Cynthia simply came to this place to look for him. However, although they are both descendants of Lezbel, Cynthia's talent is a little higher, after all, Professor Yang only shows three elemental properties, and Cynthia can use the magic he can use, and there is no special magic that can teach her. And even in the face of Cynthia, who is related by blood, Professor Yang is still the same, taciturn, and extremely brief in everything he answers. Over time, Cynthia lost hope in him.
Arrail came here for one purpose, and that was to change the taste...... The food in the restaurant was no longer attractive to him, and although Marianne's cooking was simple, it made him feel reluctant, as if it was completely different from what was sold in the restaurant. Although he couldn't tell what was different.
After more than a month, Tim taught Eren all the light elemental magic he could use. Although there is not much actual practice, with Allen's talent and understanding, he can basically use it smoothly, but it takes a little time or a few more attempts.
One day after the end of his studies, Alan came to meet his parents as usual.
At this time, it was already December 25, and the last autumn mood was also carried away by the cold wind. It was already cold, and there was still light snow in the sky.
Tomorrow is the last day of class for the semester, after which they will have a two-week break. However, when it comes to classes, in fact, few people can calm down and read books anymore. Whether it's on the way to class or in the classroom, in the cafeteria or in the residence halls, almost everyone talks about how to spend the holidays. Since this holiday is neither long nor short, children close to home naturally prefer to go home, and for children like Allen, who have to go home for a day and a night, staying in school or going to Krivari City is the wisest decision. Just like last year.
This year's weather isn't too bad, and although it will snow, at least it's not snowing all day like last year, and even unicorns can't go out. This provided the most basic conditions for them to travel to the city of Krivari to participate in the annual Dawn Parade.
"Dad, you and Mom should join us in the parade. Allen said.
Riel and Alyssa are also there.
"Hmm...... It's good ......," Tim pondered for a moment, "and I haven't seen such a grand show in a long time. ”
Originally, Tim had planned to go a little further afield to look for it while the snow was still falling. I've been searching around here for so long without results, and it's not a good idea to stay here all the time. And everything that should have been taught to Eren has already been taught to him, and it's time to get back on the road. Although they also wanted to spend more time with Alan, they knew better in their hearts that everything they did was for the sake of their children...... Even if it's to leave temporarily.
However, now that Eren had already spoken, Tim changed his plans on the fly, and decided to wait until after the dawn had fallen. He also hopes that this time the family will act together to make up for the regrets that Alan has accumulated in his heart over the years.
"Then I'll call Cecilis. Riel said.
During this time, the relationship between him and Cecilis quickly warmed up, and the two people, who were no longer influenced by Perestu, really began to like each other this time.
As for Alyssa, who is now standing behind Allen, there is no doubt or mustard between her and Allen at all. Because shortly after the end of the triple trial, under Allen's questioning, she finally confided the truth to him.
All along, the reason why she repeatedly concealed from Eren that she would use this special magic was simply that she didn't want Eren to think about it...... For example, "Did she use it on me?" or something like that.
