My Mage System



Julian had noticed, yes, and he asked Helena: "Reassure me, and tell me that you are fully aware of the danger that Yelena can represent."

Helena then looked at Yelena and Iris who were still holding hands and talking animatedly together, happiness radiating around them and yet Helena sighed and said: "Do you really believe that a Warrior Spirit can be so blinded by love that he forgets his reason for existing? To protect all those who are unable to fight against forces that come from outside their world and against which they can do nothing.

In the past, this threat came mainly from the Gods, but Yelena is living proof that it's not just the Gods who can pose a threat.

If Yelena can't master this power she has access to, then we'll have to find a way of ensuring that she can never use it again."

Helena then patted him on the shoulder and said: "You're a good teacher, Julian, and you care about your students.

I've managed to persuade Iris to let you come with us, because perhaps your unique way of using spiritual energy can help Yelena to control that power.

So stay alert and I look forward to your report after looting the purple dungeons we're about to face."

Julian nodded and as Helena left to join Zak, Chris used a communication stone to ask Julian, 'Professor... I don't understand the threat posed by Yelena.

What could happen if she ever lost control?'

Julian then looked at Chris again and said, choosing to use his communication stone as well, 'Are you afraid Iris will really beat me up if she hears what I have to say.'

Chris then blushed and he told him, 'You should be more careful, even if it starts from a good feeling, Iris is so powerful that she could kill you without even meaning to.'

Julian shook his head in amusement and said to him, 'No, Warrior Spirits aren't like that, she'd never hurt an innocent man like me, don't worry... And as for your question, I don't really have an answer, because I don't really know what could happen, but here's what I think.'

Julian then explained to Chris his theory, 'You saw my wind blades being disintegrated by Yelena's chakra just now, didn't you? Imagine then that she loses control and the energy of her chakra, which would be much more powerful than the one she used in our fight, spreads out.

Not just around her but over a wide area, don't forget we're talking about the Cradle of Magic itself, an inexhaustible source of energy, so imagine the damage it could cause.'

Chris paled as he finally realized how dangerous this power could be, and Julian then said to him, 'But maybe I'm wrong, and this energy that can be released from Yelena's body could also do good, like Lena who brings nature back to life wherever she goes... The magic that exists in our universe has many facets and we're still far from having discovered all its secrets.'

Chris, who had felt his heart beat faster and was almost hypnotised by Julian's words, snapped back to reality and asked him, 'But yet you're worried, so you rather think that Yelena's loss of control could have disastrous consequences.'

Julian smiled at him to reassure him and then said honestly, 'I really believe that magic is linked to our emotions, it's more powerful and violent when we use it under strong emotion, and it's peaceful and gentle when we meditate for example.'

Chris nodded and then he asked him, completely changing the subject, 'Professor Julian, do you have anyone in your life?'

Julian glanced at him, wondering if the question was purely innocent or not, and finally he said, 'I don't have a partner to share my life with, if that's what you're asking, but I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful family, which makes me very happy.'

Chris then said, feeling suddenly embarrassed to have asked something so personal to his teacher, 'I don't know why you're still single, but your future partner will be very lucky.'

Julian smiled then and he said teasing him, 'Don't you think the reason I'm still single is because I'm not as good as you seem to think I am?'

Chris then looked him in the eyes and he said to him before joining the others, 'No, you're really a wonderful person, I just think you haven't found the right person yet, that's all!'

Julian then watched Chris go ahead and he was still wondering if Chris was flirting with him just now or if he had asked him this question really out of curiousity when they arrived in front of the first purple dungeon that Iris had found for them.

Iris then said to everyone: "Since Nolan isn't with us today, we're going to take care of the strongest creatures for you, so all you have to do is give them the final blow to earn as many experience points as possible... Unless, of course, Julian wants to take care of them…"

Julian shook his head and said: "I'm really not used to raiding dungeons and this is my first time in a purple dungeon so please spare me."

Iris looked at him surprised, as did the others, and Chris then asked him: "Is this really the first time you've looted a purple dungeon?"

Julian then told them: "I grew up near the Sun Sect and there's no purple dungeon over there... Besides, Mages have the choice of whether or not they want to go and loot dungeons, and although it might sound strange to all of you, I've never been attracted to this kind of activity."

Helena then said: "Well then, let's do the first purple dungeon that way, and if you ever feel like facing more powerful opponents in the second one, we'll leave you some, don't worry."

As soon as Iris passed through the purple vortex, Zak immediately followed her, too curious to discover what a dungeon was, and Yelena said to Julian before passing through the purple vortex in turn: "You'll see, you'll really enjoy yourself, and it'll give you the chance to try out all sorts of new spells!"
