Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 126: Rei's Love Protectors

"The thing about area of effect magic that most do not understand is that it is fundamentally different from other magic spells. First of all, like always, you need to picture it in your head, but there is also one more than you need to take into account, and that is your allies. In this case, you will need to also picture your allies within the area of effect and picture the spell not doing damage to them. This is a difficult task to achieve, but it is something that is a must to learn if you wish to use area of effect magic. Now, this is easier for backline mages who stand at the back and have a good visual of their teammates. But for a magic knight who is at the front of the battle, they do not have the right field of vision to form a proper image in their minds. This is where perception magic comes in." Master Felix was currently instructing us on how to use area of effect magic properly. I was glad I decided to do this, or I would have never have known half of the things he is telling us. 

This entire time I had been casting magic just based on my image of the spell but now, with this information and a little practice, I am sure I can use area of effect magic properly. "We will end it here. Rei, I need to speak to you. The rest of you go rest." 

Seeing how Master Felix was sending everyone away, I was sure that he probably wanted to talk about me summoning zombies. "Master Felix?"

"Rei, take this necklace. It will keep you from casting magic without actually activating it yourself. Black magic has a way of activating by itself without the user's will. As of now, I can not teach you any suppression techniques since it will hinder your ability to cast magic at this time. When you go to the academy, they will teach you how to repress your magic. But this is normally not done until the last year of training there. So any time you are out on the field, make sure you wear it." Master Felix explained. The necklace he gave me actually hung down pretty low, so it was easy to tuck under my armor and would not get in my way of fighting. I asked why I can't use a suppression technique now, and he said at my age, it is not good to suppress my magic since it could hinder my growth later on. The technique they teach at the academy was only taught to you when you reached the age of eighteen, and you can not graduate from the academy until you have mastered this technique.

"What do you want, thieving cat?" Able said his tone showed just how annoyed he was to speak to Alissa.

After Master Felix had called Rei to talk in private, Alissa pulled Able to the side to speak to him privately as well. "I wanted to ask if you gained any special features from the teaming system that my Rei did not tell us about." 

"No, everything I have is what Rei said I would have. Why did you get something extra?" Able asked. He ignored the whole my Rei part of her words.

Alissa thought for a moment before deciding she would tell Able. This way, if there was someone she could not handle that appeared on the list, she could send Able at him instead. "It's like this I got a special function that allows me to tell who Rei has feelings for romantically. So far, it is just you and I on the list, and I would like to keep it that way. I am only telling you this because if some other guy or girl tries to woo Rei, they might try to steal her away from us. I am sure you do not want to lose Rei; well, I would be fine if you did disappear, but as of now, you Love Rei, and she regrettably loves you as well." 

"So you're saying you wish to snuff out any competition before they can push their way in." Able thought for a moment and nodded his head. "Okay, I will help. It is not that I do not trust Rei. It is I will not allow anyone to take the girl I love away from me. And there are certain potions and spells that can manipulate people. The last thing I want to happen is to have one of those kinds of people near Rei. This function that you got only lets you see who she likes?" 

"Yes, it only allows me to see who she likes. Sadly it does not let me see anything else. The normal team window we have shows status ailments, or so it says here under our names, so if someone shows up on the list, we can check her status right away and see if someone has cast a spell on her. But just so you know, I plan to snuff out anyone who shows any interest in Rei romantically. It was very hard for me to become someone special to her as something other than a friend. With you already taking up most of her time, I do not wish to lose what little private time I will have with her." Alissa decided to be fully honest in what she was planning. Otherwise, it would take too long to explain later on when she went to seek Able's help. 

Able sighed and felt that maybe snuffing out anyone who got close to her was being a little overprotective, but Alissa seemed pretty adamant about it. "Just do not snuff out, as you said, anyone who just wishes to be friends with her. If we isolate Rei, she will come to hate us."

"Of course, I am not dumb. I will only handle those who show up on this list or cast some strange magic on her." Alissa knew she couldn't go too far, or she may end up hurting Rei, and as Able had said, Rei may even come to hate her for it.

"Alright, then I am willing to help when needed." Able reached out his hand, and the two shook on it. 

"Able, Alissa!" Rei's voice came from behind them. 

Allissa's eyes went from serious to soft and full of love as she shoved Able out of the way and ran towards Rei. "Rei!"

Able, who stumbled back a few steps, frowned. "Maybe I should snuff her out before she does me in..."
