Lord of Charm

A few hours later, Mira and Gale lay next to each other in bed, breathing heavily, taking in the obscene smells. After catching their breath, they went to take a shower and Mira washed Gale.

"I almost forgot you were of a noble birth."

Mira chuckled as she washed his body. After they finished showering and dressing up, they opened the windows to air the room. Gale who prepared to leave and opened the door, suddenly saw Lena sitting down a few meters away. He already forgot about her presence out of the room.

"Was she listening?"

Mira wondered to herself and felt a bit embarrassed. She felt she might have exhibited too much enthusiasm for a woman who signed up for her own crippling.

"Are you ready to go back home? You must be tired. I could hear you working very… hard."

"She did listen! I knew she was perverted!" were Mira's thoughts. It seemed Gale's image improved in her eyes, but not his sister's. Gale blushed and protested.

"You weren't supposed to be listening to us!"

"Listened to you? You were so loud in your screaming you almost ruined my hard work of keeping this ordeal a secret from the people around."

"What? Did someone hear us?"

"I don't think so, when I noticed things got louder I put up an air barrier using wind magic to dim the sound."

"And… were you outside the barrier?"

Gale asked with slight hope, but with a feeling that he would regret asking.

"Of course not, how'd I hear you if you cried for help?"

He gave up on arguing with Lena and decided to move on. Gale said his goodbyes to Mira and left the jail along with Lena. They sat down to eat dinner together as Gale was too busy to eat lunch, and Lena started asking him about the results of his session with Mira.

"Do you feel the mana?"

"Yes, after we had a few rounds I started being able to feel the mana around me. It feels hot and fiery. On one hand, it can bring forth destruction, and on the other hand, it can improve lives."

"This is the feeling of the fire-type mana. It seems you would inherit the affinities of those you lay with. What stage are you at? Did you become a True Magician yet?"

Lena was quite excited about her brother's improvement. It was an untraditional way to improve, but she was always bugged by the fact that her brother will die when she was still young due to his inability to become a magician.

"I can't quite tell my stage, because it all happened at once and I didn't have time to compare. I felt a rise in my strength 4 times today, but I don't think it's possible that every time I felt it rising it was getting to the next stage."

"Of course not, you can, and must, advance inside your stage before you can get to the next one. It's something like having more and more responsibilities until your boss recognizes your efforts and decides to promote you. Before the promotion, you'd still be in the same role with the same rank, but your authority would be superior to someone who just got promoted to an equal role."

"I think I'm a True Magician now, at some point I suddenly felt a connection with mana in contrast to the beginning when I only felt it like something foreign to me, which was simply there."

"It does give such a feeling. Congratulations on your rank-up, Gale."

Lena clapped excitedly and gave him a tight hug.

"After you finish your… training, I will teach you ways to improve your usage of mana, spells, and most importantly, how to guide mana through your body to strengthen it. The more types of mana you use to strengthen your body, the stronger your body would become and the longer you'd live even if you don't advance farther."

She had to pause when she tried to find an appropriate word for Gale's… well, training, but moved on quickly after convincing herself this was all her pure little brother was doing. "Exactly, it's just unorthodox training", she thought to herself.

After Lena went to her room in the main mansion, Gale was left to his own devices. He recalled today's events and couldn't help but get excited.

"Wait, wait, that's not what I'm trying to think about."

That's right, Gale was trying to think of the way his powers worked today. He could feel at times that Mira got more excited and hornier, and he could correlate most of those cases with the times when he encouraged himself in his thoughts, or really wanted her to show a reaction to something he was doing. He figured this had to do with his charming abilities.

Furthermore, She acted as if she was on drugs every time he came inside her as well as whenever she tasted his jizz. While he didn't know if that was a normal reaction of a horny woman, it seemed more realistic to attribute it to his charming abilities as well.

"I think there's nothing else I can learn about my charming abilities for now, let's test my magic."

He started playing with the mana around him. He put a candle on the grass outside and tried lighting it with his fire. Sounds of cracking resounded and everything in a radius of 5 meters from Gale was set ablaze, burning the candle and the grass alike.

"AHHHH"

Gale shouted in panic.

"What happened? Lord Gale, are you ok?"

Nina was startled to see the yard going on fire around Gale. She quickly reacted and a strong wind came from above and pressed the flames to the ground, making them crisp in their last struggle to survive. Once the flames were extinguished, she quickly went to Gale who was unharmed except for losing his clothes.

"Haa… ha… I thought I was going to burn myself to death."

"What just happened? Did you just do magic?"

"I did, I'm a true magician now."

Gale announced proudly.

"Haha, don't look so proud when you burned your clothes just now. Let's get inside and get you a change of clothes."

Nina couldn't help but laugh at his proud look as he stood there with scorched clothes.

"Ah, right. I didn't expect for a fire to start, I was just trying to guide mana to light a candle."

"Congratulations on becoming a True Magician, Lord Gale, those are great news. However, don't try to execute magic without any supervision before you get more proficient in it, magicians are respected because their spells and magic can kill, not because they can light candles without a match, or wash the dishes more quickly."

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "You're right, I will practice it under guidance next time."

He said embarrassedly. He should've realized there was a reason Lena didn't just give him the spells to practice but wanted to be next to him when he tried.

Meanwhile, at the same time Gale was busy burning his yard, a tall man came to Lena's room.

"You've been home for a few days, it is time for you to come back."

"I'm busy, tell Master I'm delaying my return by a month."

"What reason should I give her?"

"Something came up."

"I don't think it counts as a valid reason. What came up?"

"None of your business, just tell her I won't be coming this month."

The man sighed and turned to leave when he heard her voice again.

"Oh right, tell her that if she sends here someone to investigate, I will kill them. If they are too strong, I will wait for when I'm strong enough to kill both the spy and the one he reported to."

The man sighed again. If her master sent a spy, wouldn't the person they reported to be The Fire Witch herself? This crazy girl just threatened to kill her own master who was also the third strongest person in the whole kingdom!

He knew she could say that without getting punished because of who she was, she was the hope of The Fire Witch. The Fire Witch placed her hopes on her to become a True Magus and help her get to the next stage too, lengthening her life and making her stronger.
