Chapter 118 118 Lightning Attribute

"I didn't see it in real life, I had a dream where I saw someone using lightning to fight off beasts," Ray said.

'I totally forgot about the first dream I had, but in the dream the lightning user was a boy, and I died' Ray's eyes widen as he thought of it.

"Is something wrong?"

"No nothing, so are you the only person in the mage academy with lightning attribute?" Ray asked.

"No, there is someone else"

'That must be the boy I saw in my dream, but in the dream beasts attacked us and I had wind magic, maybe that's just a far fetched dream'

"She's in third year and she doesn't speak to me," Alice said.

"She... the other lightning user is a girl?"

"Yes," Alice said.

"Oh, I expected it to be a boy" Ray smiled.

"So are there any lightning spell books around?"

"Only one, the lightning element is rare so there isn't much information," Alice said.

"Wait, if there is only one spell book that means you know only one spell..."

"No we have an instructor, and besides you can create a spell on your own and name it," Alice said.

"Create a spell, how..."

"How do you think different spell is formed, every spell is created by someone, I also have a spell that I'm working on"

"You are creating a spell" Ray was surprised.

"Yes, I haven't perfected it yet but at least I'm somewhere," Alice said.

"What is the name, or you haven't named it"

"It's called lightning cloak"

"Lightning cloak, wow that name has a nice ring to it, so it covers your body with a robe of lightning," Ray asked.

"Hey, how did you know..."

'Well in my world I have read lots of books, so you can't blame me' Ray said inwardly.

"I just guessed" Ray smiled.

"Well it also does something else, you know how knights use Ki?"

"Yes, I'm a knight," Ray said.

"Sorry, we were talking about magic I forgot you were a knight, my brother explained how knights use Ki so it got me wondering."

"Knights use Ki to improve their physical abilities double fold, their speed, strength, and stamina are all increased right?"

"Yes you are right" Ray answered.

"That is why I created my own spell to act as Ki just in case I'm up against a powerful opponent" Alice smiled as she said this.

"Your spell act as Ki... how?" Ray was surprised.

'How can a spell act as Ki, how can a spell boost your speed, strength, and stamina, is that even possible' Ray had a lot of questions.

"You may be wondering why I said that, well you know lightning is the fastest element?" Alice asked.

"Yes I know" Ray answered.

"When my lightning cloak envelops my body I become as fast as lightning"

"What!!..."

"You are surprised right, that's why I said it act like Ki" Alice raised her head high, she was clearly proud of herself for coming up with such a powerful spell.

"So you came up with that idea on your own... wait how do you even wrap the lightning around yourself?" Ray asked.

"Well, I came up with a theory so time ago but I didn't try it cause I wasn't sure it would work, but recently something just reminded me of the theory and I tried it and it worked," Alice said.

"What is it?"

"To cast a spell you need to eject Mana, and most spells require the mage to eject Mana through his hands, what if you don't eject Mana through your hands..." Alice smiled.

"So instead of your hands how can you cast the spell?"

"Your whole body," Alice said.

"Your whole body... I still don't understand"

"You eject Mana through your whole body, I don't know if it would work with other elements but it's a perfect fit for my lightning element," Alice said.

"So no one had ever thought of this idea?"Ray asked.

"I don't know, but I don't think so, I'm really brilliant right"

"Yeah, so how come you haven't perfected it?" Ray asked.

"Well that's the problem, wait... you are a knight and you have mastered Ki right?"

"Well I wouldn't call it master but I can use it a little" Ray said.

"So you can teach me, I wanted to ask my brother but I know he's too busy," Alice said.

"I don't understand, what can I teach you?"

"Well my problem with the lightning cloak is that I haven't mastered the speed, I can't control my speed when I move," Alice said.

"Oh because it's lightning so you would move really fast"

"Yes, so you understand me, knights use Ki to improve their speed how do you do that?" Alice ask.

"I don't think you can do that," Ray said.

"Why can't I, I created the spell so I don't see why I can't learn it, are you doubting me cause I'm not a knight"

"No that's not what I'm thinking, do you know the training knights go through before they can start training with Ki?" Ray asked.

"No, what do they do?"

"Three months of basic training running, weight lifting, training with all equipment just to train your strength, stamina, and speed to be able to withstand usage of Ki," Ray said.

"Wait you are not joking"

"No I'm not, so to master that level of speed requires physical training, you have to train your body to get used to that level of speed first," Ray said.

"So that's why, the first time I successfully cloak myself with lightning, I ran into a wall and fainted"

"What really..." Ray chuckled.

"I could control myself, I just wanted to test my power a little then I ran towards the wall but the next thing I know I was already in front of the wall, and I couldn't stop till I woke up in the healing center" Alice laughed as she told Ray.

"So what are you going to do, do you guys do physical training here in the mage academy?" Ray asked.

"No, but maybe you can train me," Alice said.
