60 Demonstration of Power Upon entering the level 3 training room, Vicente and Rory were faced with a place similar in appearance to the training area they had at the Fuller family home.
However, everything there was at higher levels of quality than the stuff they had at home, with stronger side structures, a sturdier combat dummy, etc.
Vicente quickly closed the door, turning the key in the lock twice, before walking over to the cabinets.
As he put that metal key away, he smiled and looked at his friend, who was watching him curiously.
"Are you trying to trap me in here or something?" Rory asked as he arched his eyebrows. "Why keep the keys to the room in the closet?"
"Hmm, I think we'd be in danger of damaging it if I didn't do that," Vicente said, making his friend frown.
"OK, I look forward to seeing what you can do, Vice."
Hearing that, Vicente indicated to Rory. "Are you wearing any metallic items on your body? If you are, I advise you to take it off and store it in the closet."
"Oh?" Rory looked down and immediately began to take off the necklace he had around his neck, soon after taking off one of his rings, the only one he was wearing at the moment.
After taking off half a dozen metallic items and holding them in hand, Rory approached one of the walls of this room, making room for Vicente.
"Go ahead."
Hearing that, Vicente smiled, seeing that his friend still doubted him.
But he was not disappointed. Rory demonstrating this behavior was entirely natural!
Even friends, there were things that if Vicente said to Rory or vice-versa, one would not believe the other until he saw or felt the truthfulness of his friend's words.
This black-haired young man, dressed like a businessman, quickly took off the top of his suit and folded up the sleeves of his shirt.
Placing a combat stance, Vice circulated his mana through his Magic Gem, through it activating the Red Pentagram.
The yellow of the pentagram on his forehead glowed brightly, and soon after, a Red Pentagram appeared in his surroundings.
Along with the appearance of the ability's power source about to take effect, the light in the surroundings changed as Rory felt the items in his hands trying to fly in Vicente's direction.
"What?" He shouted as he felt the objectives in his hand slipping out of his control and feeling a bad sensation in his own body.
Like humans on Earth, in Polaris Realm, people also had metallic elements in their blood to carry breathing gases.
Obviously, the amount of these metals was meager, and Vicente would not be able to remove these small amounts of metals from Rory's body. But the magnetic attraction caused by his first ability was enough for this young redhead to feel the terror of Vice's ability.
As Rory looked awkwardly at his groupmate, Vicente smiled as he saw some of the metallic items he had brought with him and left on the outskirts of the room to come to his vicinity.
The rest of the room didn't even shake with his power, resisting his magnetic pull well, unlike his house, which had nearly cracked in half that other day.
What was inside the room's cabinets remained inside those items, but all the other metallic items went to him, quickly losing their shapes and turning into different things.
Rory looked with widened eyes at this, seeing his items changing shape to form a small dagger.
"Damn it, Vicente! You didn't do that!" He shouted as he lost some of his valuables.
Rory was very fond of rings, bracelets, and necklaces. So seeing several of them being 'destroyed' by Vicente, such a young man couldn't help but put aside how impressive Vice's ability was to get angry.
"Haha, my bad, Rory, but you should have kept them in the closet like I did with mine." Vice laughed out loud as several metallic blades floated in their surroundings.
Then, with a single thought, they all moved towards the wooden dummy, causing it to immediately start moving.
This was not a puppet like the one in Vicente's house. It was much better and better prepared than that beginner item.
As such, at the sight of Vicente's first attack, the dummy dodged the attacks coming from different directions.
However, Vicente's first ability was not simple!
Not only could he change shape, attract and repel metallic items, Vicente could also interfere with the elements Earth and Lightning while using the fusion of the two.
Lightning had little potential to damage Wood. Only if the difference in power levels between the two elements was too great in favor of the Lightning could such an element destroy Wood.
But that was not the same for Earth!
As the blades flew around the dummy, shrinking its space of action, the ground of the combat platform shifted subtly, increasing the viscosity of the surface.
At that instant, the dummy temporarily lost some of its mobility, and one of Vicente's blades went through its body!
Swooish!
"What?" Rory saw that and exclaimed, knowing that the difficulty of hitting it should be the same as hitting a Senior Apprentice!
Moreover, unlike this dummy that could regenerate, a magician would be temporarily injured by a cut like that.
"Can you do all that?" Rory could no longer bear the doubts in his heart and questioned. "How is that possible? Your Pentagram is just Red! That makes no sense at all, man!"
Vice smiled and said. "I don't understand it either, but I inherited a power quite out of the ordinary... Anyway, I finally had some luck in life."
"Lucky? Haha, I'd say so." Rory said, noting how powerful Vicente's first skill was.
The first skill, or Magic Pentagram, came from the Magic Gem. Because of that, this was the only skill that could grow along with the magician. In other words, if this power of Vicente's was already like this right now, Rory could already imagine how shocking it could become when his friend became stronger!
"Haha, so it was you. You who destroyed half the magical equipment on the block!" Rory immediately connected the dots and understood the origin of the phenomenon from days ago.
Vicente smiled at him but said nothing as he tried to control his powers.
Then Rory asked him after a few moments of watching his friend. "But Vice, tell me something, can you form weapons with this manipulation ability? I mean, you formed several types of blades, but can you make other objects?"
Hearing that, Vicente immediately tried to change how he manipulated those metal items!
