Volume 6 Chapter 55: Had To Be Her

"How did you do it?" Cadmus's voice was filled with hesitation when he asked this. But Keith didn't notice as he was too excited by what he did.

"I used the magic like you said, and it worked! I think I can only increase the gravity around me by .25. With enough training, I should be able to double that!" Keith grinned. What Cadmus said worked like a charm. Remembering what happened to his body was the key to all of this.

"But I can only do it to myself." That was the other downside to all of this. He could cast it onto himself, but he would need to learn how to do it to others.

But this is a significant first step. Keith pumped his fist.

"...I see." Cadmus really didn't know what to say about this.

"Do I continue like this?"

"...Yeah. Keep doing that for a while. Having gravity increase by .25 is a good step. But it would become usable when you can do it by 2 times." .25 times was a good start. However, it wasn't effective on head-first opponents. They would continue to charge at their opponents.

"Understood! Can I use this field to practice?"

"Sure. You can use this place forever." Cadmus walked away from there. And when he did, Sohma was waiting for him by the door.

"What?" "You know what I want to ask." There was no point in him saying it.

"That kid is such a monster." Cadmus grabbed his head.

"It's not a surprise." "I know. But seeing it is so scary." Seeing it and saying it was always so different. That was why Cadmus was always so shocked Keith could use things others couldn't.

Sohma wondered, "Who brought him about to learn gravity magic?" He had said before that someone used gravity magic to take out a mugger.

"It has to be her." Cadmus understood. There was no need to think about who this person was. There was only one person who was capable of using magic like that.

"Does he know about her identity?" "Nope. I don't think he does." Judging by how Keith didn't pry, he shouldn't know the person's identity.

"But this is good. Having him learn is a good thing." Keith was growing from this.

"And besides, he's going to find out eventually." Keith had seen her before, but his actions seemed to suggest he had forgotten.

...

The next day, Keith was practicing his magic again. However, he was facing off against Alfia. The elf frowned, "Keith, why are you holding back so much?" She could feel it. Keith's reaction time was slower than the other times.

"Just a bit tired." A big yawn soon came from Keith's mouth. But that made Alfia weirder, "You're tired?" The guy who ran around left and right was tired? That was how she knew this was a big problem!

A sigh soon came after, "Didn't you tell us to be more careful?" Why was this guy not following his rules? That caused Keith to laugh,

"Don't worry. I know how to take care of myself." Keith chuckled as he added, "This is also one way to increase mana." Mana capacity was like a muscle. If you use it a lot, it grows back stronger.

"But you can't do that all the time," Alfia groaned, but she asked, "What kind of magic are you learning this time?"

"I'm learning gravity magic," Keith answered.

"Isn't that-" Before Alfia could finish her sentence, Keith grabbed her by the mouth.

"Don't say anything about it." It was to be kept as a secret.

"Mnmhmm" Keith wanted to say something, but then Alfia bit his finger.

"Oww! What was that for?!" "That's because you covered my mouth!" Alfia scowled, "Why did you want to learn it?"

"Because I wanted to?" "For the group?"

"..."

Alfia frowned, "But we have your earth magic and Faelyn's abilities as well."

"We only have earth and wind at our disposal. I want to learn something new to help our group."

"..." Alfia sighed, "But make sure you don't overwork yourself." Since Keith was doing this for them, she couldn't stop him.

"You don't have to worry about it." Keith laughed. Alfia shook her head as she watched the others.
