'Yes Yes, I know I shouldn't have doubted you, it was my fault.'

Vaan shook his head as he recalled what happened 30 minutes ago.

A week had passed by after his meeting with Seraphina and just like every other day, Vaan, after practicing the spell he learned, was dutifully feeding his Flamey.

Today, however, Flamey seemed hungrier since even after 5 fills, Flamey wasn't satisfied. Vaan was surprised, however, he decided to think about it later and continued to feed Flamey 3 more times.

It was only after that did Flamey's eyes starting shining in excitement.

"Are you satisfied now?" Vaan questioned, however, instead of answering, Flamey simply flew right in front of his face, then, she pointed her little hands at him with 2 fingers out.

"Two?" Vaan guessed.

"Krriii Krrii!" Flamey nodded.

"Two what?"

Flamey then created 2 Magic Circles with fire, then, she created an Arrow pointing at 1 Magic Circle.

"Kri." She looked at Vaan to confirm if he was still with her and then, she herself pointed at the second circle before pointing at Vaan.

"Krri Krr Kririi!"

"Second Circle?" You want me to form the Second Circle?" Vaan questioned.

"Krriiii!!" Flamey nodded as she flew around in excitement.

Vaan couldn't help but notice Flamey looked a lot more cheerful today, however,

"Forming the 2nd Magic Circle isn't that simple, Flamey, I need to continue practicing spells and clear my Mana Vei-"

Vaan suddenly froze mid-sentence.

Who was he talking to?

Has Flamey ever said something stupid before?

Well, she did say quite a lot of unrealistic things, however, those unrealistic things she said…

All of them came true without fail.

An Advance Magic Circle, highly optimized Instant Spells which were half as costly as the complete ones,

Can someone who came up with things like that be wrong in her judgment?

"Are you saying I am ready to form my 2nd Magic Circle?" Vaan questioned with a serious look on his face.

"Krri Krri Krri!" Flamey nodded continuously. Vaan didn't know Flamey's language, however, he had formed a considerable level of connection with her after living together for such a long time and could roughly tell what she was saying,

And right now, according to Vaan, if Flamey could speak, she would have said, 'Yes that's what I am saying you dumb fuck, now stop wasting time and start forming the Second Circle, we don't have all day!'

No, even if the little Flamey could speak, she wouldn't have used such vulgar words, it was just Vaan's imagination, and since his head was filled with cuss words like these, the Flamey Translation that worked in his mind used the same vocabulary as well.

Anyways, all in all, Flamey seemed excited and wanted Vaan to quickly form his 2nd Magic Circle. Vaan, however, decided to confirm this and came to his mother.

And again,

Flamey was right.

"Anyways, have you comprehended the required Magic Patterns to form your Second Circle?" Suddenly, Astra questioned.

Forming the 1st Circle was comparatively simpler since one only had to know basic theories of magic before designing a circle that followed all those theories and summoning it using Mana, the 2nd Circle, however, was different.

For this, one needed to research the Magic Patterns used to form the 2nd Circle and create one for themselves, just like how it was done with Magic Spells. To successfully for the 2nd Circle, a Mage should not only have enough Mana in his Mana Veins to draw another Magic Circle but also have to create the required Magic Patterns.

These Magic Patterns were then drawn inside the 1st Circle and if Mage had enough Mana, a 2nd Circle is formed automatically and then, a 'connection' with this Circle is established, successfully allowing the Mage to summon two Circles next time.

Astra doubted that Vaan would probably not know these required patterns since the only spell he knew was the Fire Spike and his Magic Language vocabulary wouldn't be strong enough to comprehend this pattern,

However,

With a confident smile on his face, he replied, "I have."

Astra was taken aback, however, this time, she didn't ask more questions, if Vaan was confident, then getting on it with that confidence was important. Her baseless questions will only result in him doubting himself for no reason.

"Alright, my personal Magic Training Room is free, you can go in and form your Second Circle.

I wish you luck."

Astra was a firm believer of 'If you think you know something, try it out, the worse that can happen is you fail.'

If Vaan felt like it, she wanted to give him a chance.

Vaan smiled.

"Krrriii Krrri Krriiii!" Flamey, on the other hand, had already flown near the doors as soon as Astra gave the permission and was now waving at Vaan to come.

Vaan sighed, then, he nodded at his mother before walking towards Flamey.

The two of them then entered Astra's personal Magic Training room, Vaan wanted to admire the familiar white room for a while, however,

"Krriii! Krrrii!!"

Flamey was just too excited for anything.

'Stop wasting time, you fucker!' Vaan translated what she wanted to say.

"Alright Alright, I will stop slacking." He then scratched his head and started absorbing the surrounding Mana.

Then, he turned towards Flamey and,

"Come." He spoke. Wanting Flamey's help to form the Advance Magic Circle because he couldn't form it on his own, however,

"Krri Krri." Flamey shook her head.

"What?" Vaan frowned in confusion.

"Krri Kri Kri Kriii." Flamey replied as she formed Vaan's previous Magic Circle using her flames.

"Are you saying that I have to use my own Magic Circle for this to work?"

"Krri" Flamey nodded her head.

Vaan frowned in confusion. He has been using Flamey's advanced magic circle just fine this whole time, then why was this a problem now?

Anyways, Vaan just shook his head and didn't think much about it, he summoned his own Circle, his circle only had 4 Inner Spells, however, since this pattern didn't require any Inner Circles, it didn't matter.

Once the Circle was formed, Vaan quickly drew the Magic Patterns, and then,

His Magic Circle shined brightly and another similar Magic Circle formed in the air right next to the first one, however, that wasn't the only thing that happened,

"Mru...?"
