Chapter 81: New Spells

After a few jokes about my ravenous eating, our group became more comfortable around each other. Reyna started to fit nicely into the group. Although her jokes were rough around the edges, it was as though she was always part of the group.

Alyx raised her concerns about magic.

"My element is so peculiar. Do you think that I can keep up with the rest of you?"

My thumb and forefinger rubbed against my chin.

"Well..."

My mind spun, trying to find out a way to justify the 'guess' I was about to say.

"...Harlow said the orb thingy was a mana enhancer, right?"

Alyx furrowed her brows.

"Indeed. What does that have to do with it?"

My eyes diverted to the side, avoiding eye contact with Erin.

"When you stuck your finger in the orb, you made it crack. That means you probably have some element that gets rid of mana!"

As I suspected, there was a piercing stare coming from the general area of Erin.
