Ariel looked at the several piles of firewood that had been set up in front of her, and could see that Wanwan had indeed prepared them for her.

"Don't burn it to ashes like last night. Remember to control the magic power output, so as to control the power of the flames."

Bai Wan guided and said. At the same time, he lit a fire and prepared lunch.

It sounded simple to him, but the actual difficulty of operating it was beyond the girl's expectation.

Ariel carefully controlled the magic power in her body, arranging it according to the elemental sequence of the "ignition technique". At the same time, she also tried her best to control the amount of magic power input.

Soon as the elements condensed, a group of hot flames formed in her outstretched palm. The power of the newly formed magical flames was still a bit fierce for a while. If the fire was lit at this hot temperature, it would turn the pyre again.

Make ashes.

She held her breath and concentrated all her attention to slowly reduce the magic power output, and the flame in her hand gradually began to shrink. But the next moment, due to excessive control, the magic power she output was cut off for a moment, and the flame was extinguished instantly.

.

"You really need to concentrate. You also need to control your speed. If you make one mistake, you will be gone."

The girl took a breath and whispered softly.

"try again."

The white man on the side had already expected this, and said in a calm tone. How can it be so simple to practice manipulation? Without accumulated practice over time, there is no miraculous manipulation.

"good."

…

Soon it was lunch time again, and Ariel felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw that there was finally no burnt food in front of her. She felt that a glorious road to becoming a chef was slowly opening up in front of her eyes!

"Ah! Bah, bah, bah! What does this smell like? Is it so strange?"

But before she could be happy for too long, the strange salty and sweet taste of the food she just took her mouth made her spit it out instantly.

"It's not as simple as you think? You've just learned it, so it's good if it doesn't burn. Whether it's cooking or practicing magic manipulation, it takes time and unremitting practice to achieve success."

Bai Bai handed over a pot of water very considerately, just like a teacher Chun Chun taught. But his eyes glanced to the side, the other piles of burned firewood. Constantly reminding the girl that these are her masterpieces

.

It can be seen that the road for a girl to practice magic control is also full of difficulties and obstacles. Every time she controls it too much, the fire will be extinguished directly. If one is not careful, the power of the flame will skyrocket and burn to ashes... It is difficult to describe it in one word.

Not only had her control skills not been perfected, the girl who had not even cooked the food had a look of frustration on her face. She took the kettle angrily and drank several large sips of water before the strange taste of the food dissipated from her mouth.

"I still don't believe it! I must practice it well!"

…

Under the influence of the girl's "high morale", a few days passed quietly like this.

With Ariel's unremitting efforts in learning, coupled with the pale "careful teaching" (if bad taste and ridicule can be counted), the girl's cooking skills have finally made great progress!

Although the cooked food is still not delicious, at least it will no longer burn, change the taste, or become mushy... It can be said that it is barely edible, which is indeed a great improvement.

Of course, in addition to learning cooking skills in the past few days, she has also worked hard on practicing magic manipulation. This can be seen from the countless piles of ashes buried along the way.

.

This is the price of practicing controlling magic, but of course the price is more than that. There are also several scorched marks left on the carriage, a pale and burned shirt, etc.

"Stay away from me..."

The man said with a look of disgust on his face. Ever since he got angry because he got too close to him, he always kept a distance from a certain young lady who was practicing magic. It's not his fault. He brought a few clothes from the real world with him.

, if he is burned again, he will be naked.

"Ahem! I already told you that you don't blame me that time! Who asked you to make sarcastic remarks next to me? When I get excited, the power of the flames is just a little stronger."

The girl blushed and took back the flame she was about to show in her hand. She coughed twice and explained. But she didn't know if she felt unconvincing, because her voice became quieter as she spoke.

"Then you should stay away from me, at least three meters away, and no closer."

Pale and expressionless, he stepped back a little again.

"Okay, okay, I'll just go further away. I've already said that with my current control power, something like that will never happen again. Then just stand there and see if my magic control power is

Much stronger."

Ariel once again condensed flames in her hands, and just when she was about to concentrate on controlling it, she heard the other party say something salty.

"Oh, is it so."

"ah!!"

The flame in the palm was instantly extinguished, and the girl's chest couldn't stop rising and falling at a 90-degree angle with anger.

"Can you not say anything!"

"Tch—if you can't control it yourself, you blame others for talking about it. During a battle, how can you have the chance to control magic with peace of mind and concentration?"

Bai Wan curled his lips, and as he spoke, he also summoned a ball of flame in his hand. As he thought, the flame was like a fire snake, twisting and flying around his white and slender fingertips.

Not to mention, this scene was really a slap in the face and a source of hatred. Ariel, who didn't see him on the other side, was already so angry that she gritted her teeth and almost turned into a cerebellar ax and rushed up to bite him.

"snort!"

With her skills inferior to those of others, the girl could only snort and resist the urge to bite him, while secretly letting go of her harsh words in her heart.

'Don't let me surpass you! Otherwise, when that day comes, I will make you look good!'

Sensing her pale thoughts, he raised his eyebrows and showed an interesting smile. It was obvious that his motivational education method was indeed quite useful. At least the girl had always maintained her motivation and enthusiasm.

Ariel gently exhaled to calm her mood, and then the obscure magic spell came out of her mouth. The surrounding wind elements gathered behind her along with the girl's singing, forming a line of cyan wings.

"Intermediate magic: Feather of Wind!"

This is an intermediate level magic of the wind system. Its effect is to form wind wings, and at the same time it has a certain effect of lightening one's body. It can allow people to leap or glide over short distances. Of course, free flying is out of the question, which requires at least high-level wind magic.

After all, the girl is not a magician who specializes in wind magic. She can only use it to enhance the power of fire magic. Therefore, when using this intermediate wind spell, you need to use magic to assist in condensing elements.

After releasing the "Feather of Wind", Ariel's slender body jumped lightly. Just like a martial arts master from the martial arts world next door, she landed on the top of the carriage as lightly as a swallow.

Although she was just standing on the top of the carriage, the girl seemed to be on a grand stage. She raised her chin confidently and said proudly to the pale two people below.

"Watch it! It's my lady's performance time next!"

After saying that, Ariel sank down and concentrated again. She steadily manipulated the magic power in her body to construct the sequence of elements. As the elements condensed, a ball of flame soon appeared in her hand.

But this was just the beginning. As the girl's eyes became more focused, the magic flame in her hand began to follow her will, growing larger and smaller, and she could control it freely.

In an instant, the flames in her hand condensed into a fireball, which suddenly expanded to the size of a washbasin. Then, as Ariel frowned and compressed, the fireball began to slowly shrink and become smaller.

Under constant compression, the color of the fireball became brighter and the temperature became hotter. But at the same time, the girl also felt more strenuous and consumed more mental energy. Soon, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

.

The pale man who had been watching the girl's movements below saw this scene without his usual disdain and ridicule. He showed a rare smile, and his eyes behind the black thin-framed glasses were filled with relief.

Maybe it’s the satisfaction of seeing the pig you raised finally become a talented person?

By the end, the fireball in Ariel's hand had been compressed to the size of a fist. But the increasingly violent fire element within it had no tendency to shrink no matter how hard she tried.

Although she knew that she had reached her limit, the girl was still unwilling to stop there. She bit her lips tightly and squeezed out the last strength to compress the fire ball again.

But at the next moment, the already violent and unstable fire element went berserk due to the pressure! What followed was that the fireball in the girl's hand exploded!

The girl's beautiful blue eyes were illuminated by the exploding fireball at this moment and became as bright as blood. But they were full of fear and regret. She understood that the magic was out of control at such a close distance.

Even if she had a magical immunity from her own mental spellcasting, she would still end up seriously injured.

Just when Ariel was desperate, a somewhat joking voice sounded in her ears.

"Girl, you have to act within your ability."

She reacted suddenly and saw a pale man who had appeared beside her at some point. He was smiling playfully and also stretched out his hand towards the fireball that was about to explode.

It was his strong mental power that forcibly suppressed the spell that was about to explode out of control.

"Okay, leave it to me."

As the pale voice fell, Ariel felt that her spiritual connection with the fireball was cut off. The fireball slowly stabilized under the control of the pale, and returned to the magical element.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her, but she was also a little frustrated. Obviously she wanted to show Wanwan the results of her hard work during this period, but she didn't expect that it almost caused a catastrophe.

"……Thanks."

"fine."

Bai Wan noticed the girl's frustration and smiled softly.

"Don't be depressed, you have done a great job, you are worthy of being a genius magical girl."

The girl who was about to receive his sarcastic words unexpectedly heard praise instead. She was a little dazed for a moment, as if she doubted whether the person in front of her was being impersonated.

But who doesn't like compliments? She became happy and smiled proudly.

"That's right, I'm a genius!"

"Okay, genius. Remember to do your best next time!"

Wanwan shook his head and reminded him funny, but as he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"Speaking of which, do you still have the strength to go down by yourself now?"
