Roman stood up with a smile on his face, in front of him Aurelia chuckled as the other girls gathered around.
"Roman was studying me, I should have known, you could keep up with my speed but you choose not to, mind you I didnât use any enchantments, if I did you wouldnât be able to touch me" Aurelia said as Roman dust his body.
"I should have known it wouldnât go past you, but few minutes lessons wouldnât suddenly make me learn your movements" Roman said as he looked at her face.
"Youâve watched my matches till now, you have seen how I fight, Iâm sure you just want to see it up close, have you thought of a way to counter my abilities?" Aurelia asked.
"Since the start of the tournament" Roman replied and the girls turned towards him.
âOf course Iâm bluffing, but this is something I would need to do if I want to win against Aurelia, I thought she was much faster than me, but I can keep up with her normal speedâ
âThough sheâll be much faster after enchantments, I might be able to do something against her if the battle was one on oneâ
"Of course, during your battle with Reena, I could tell you were holding back, I hope you hold back against me" Aurelia laughed as she walked towards the magical dummy.
Ava was still surprised as Romanâs words, he had already thought of a way to counter Aurelia, Ava on the other hand was planning to overwhelm her with her spells to win, but that was a way on itâs own.
"So if you face Aurelia now, you would win?" Ava asked.
"Having a way to counter someone doesnât necessarily means I would win, it just means I have a way of winning if the stars align, donât worry, I still have no way of stopping your spell" Roman replied.
"Tomorrow would be a wonderful day" Elena spoke as a cool breeze chose this time to blow.
"Well then, I hope I get Reina for tomorrowâs match, Iâm sure I can bribe her with something to make her throw the match" Roman said with a smile as he looked at her and Reina understood what he was talking about.
Her face flushed immediately and she faced away from him, Ava turned towards Roman, "What about me, I might be interested in your bribe"
"Really, the daughter of the Firefrost family would throw a match against a male who just won a noble, and in front of the Queen no less, you wouldnât do it even if I offer the entire world"
"Sometimes I really forget how smart you are, I hope we do face ourselves, I would like to show you my strength" Ava spoke.
"What about me? I have no idea what the bribe is but I might be inclined to accept if itâs something valuable" Elena joined the conversation and Ava who was closed to her whispered something in her ears.
Her jaws dropped and she backed away looking at Roman, then she moved forward to whisper more words in Avaâs ears and Roman could already see her face turning red.
"Oh yes" Ava spoke out loud and Elena covered her mouth with both of her hands.
"Iâm leaving, I have to prepare for tomorrow" Roman spoke as he turn around, wave his hand and began walking away from them.
"Reina, have you really slept with Roman?" Elena asked.
"Yes, a few times" Reina spoke as she turned around and slowly began walking away.
Roman wasnât sleepy or anything, since he had slept a long time, but since he had time, he wanted to try the gravity spell again, the gravity spell wasnât something he would use, but for Roman to be able to control gravity was something amazing.
If he successfully learned the gravity spell, it would definitely be a game changer to his spell casting, of it would work on the type of demon that attacked the academy then, he wouldnât have anything to fear, as long as the demon was alone.
Roman walked through the palace reaching his room, a meal had already been placed by the maid and his clothes had been taken out and replaced by new identical clothing neatly folded at the corner of his bed.
Roman stretched his body and then placed his chair at the center of his room and then sat on his bed, he wanted to be comfortable as he cast the spell, also if he lost control he would just fall on his bed.
Roman took in a deep breath and stretched both his hands forward, his eyes were closed as he only focused on the task at hand, he didnât need to look at the drawing of the rune anymore as he already had all three committed to memory.
Mana flowed out, and the first rune formed without stress. The glowing shape hovered in the air, a triangle and three circles on each side.
Now for the next one, focusing harder this time. The second rune appeared beside the first, just like the first one he didnât have any problems with this one.
Roman opened his eyes to see both of the runes floating side by side, glowing faintly.
"This is getting easier, I can do it, Iâm pretty sure I can now"
Roman took another deep breath, he was constantly infusing Mana to maintain both rune, and now to form the third one, Roman had the shape in his head, he knew how but still it felt like the rune itself didnât want to be created.
The third rune began forming but his Mana was already draining rapidly, still Roman forced himself to complete it and for a second there it stabilized and the chair fell to the ground.
"Itâs working, but the chair just looks like itâs on the ground, I should be able to increase the output" Roman muttered as he infused even more Mana and finally it looked like a gravity spell.
The chair pushed against the ground and in an instant it shattered, the force pushing it downward was too much the chair couldnât hold it shape.
"It worked, it...ohh..." Roman saw the chair for a split second before realizing he was out of Mana and fell onto his bed.
