Chapter 150  Daniel and Nadia!

Chapter 150

She saw him staring at the raging cyclone. She seemed quite proud at the moment, but it was not long before she saw his neutral and uninterested eyes.

Her excitement waned like a flame doused by water.

She could not help but stare intently at him, wondering what was wrong with him and whether he could see the spectacle clearly.

His lack of reaction gnawed at her confidence.

Her heart sank slightly, a shadow of doubt creeping in.

Alphonso, who was initially listening to Sigfor's praise, turned his head in her direction and saw her looking somewhere else.

His brows furrowed as he followed her gaze.

Following her gaze, he looked up to see her staring at Oliver and Evelyn, who were standing side by side.

He frowned for a moment, observing her closely. He could tell she was more focused on Oliver for some reason.

His body turned stiff for a moment as he harbored a thought. A flicker of understanding crossed his mind.

'Could it be that she is…?' he thought with a stoic face, not knowing what to make of the situation.

Here was Sigfor showering them with praise and tips, but she was not even listening; her attention was diverted to the guy behind.

His frustration mounted, feeling the sting of her disregard.

Should this be the behavior of a proper heiress, a lady? To ignore an elder's words and fool around?

Was she not realizing the importance of proper manners? He felt a little uncomfortable.

Just as he was looking at Amber with a hardened gaze, she turned back to him.

"What?" she frowned and questioned.

"You…" he started before pausing for a moment. He thought about it and then continued, "It's nothing."

He turned back towards Sigfor and continued listening to his words. Amber glanced at him weirdly before shrugging her shoulders.

"Next, who will come?"

"ME! ME! ME! ELDER SIGFOR!"

A loud voice exclaimed, disturbing the calm and peaceful surroundings instantly.

"ELDER! ELDER! WE WANT TO GO NEXT!! ELDER!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Shut up!"

Sigfor roared, stunning the person behind the loud voice.

"You stupid brat! I can hear you once, why are you shouting here? I have not gone senile yet!"

The elder yelled at the boy who instantly shut up.

"Noisy brat…" Sigfor sneered, his eyes holding a hint of anger and irritation. He rubbed his temples, trying to keep his composure.

After all, this was the stupidest kid he had ever taught or mentored in his life.

His patience could not keep up with that loud kid.

Of course, the kid in question was none other than Daniel.

His boisterous nature was a constant test of Sigfor's patience.

He was so excited by the previous display of elements by Alphonso and Amber that he could no longer control himself.

He had to show his elemental combination; he could not wait anymore.

His body practically vibrated with eagerness.

He was bubbling with energy and adrenaline after witnessing such a display.

Sigfor frowned; Daniel was too ill-mannered. It was quite clear they were opposites in personality. Yet, there was a raw potential in the boy that Sigfor couldn't ignore.

He had to teach Daniel to be more patient and calm.

"Come forward."

Sigfor snapped his fingers, and the still raging tornado instantly dispersed.

Seeing him disperse their combination attack so easily, both Amber and Alphonso felt a little dull.

They exchanged a glance, both humbled by his effortless display of power.

Sigfor was indeed unfathomable.

"Alright! Come on, Nadia!"

He urged as he excitedly got up and went to the space where they were supposed to demonstrate.

He almost jumped over when he was finally called.

Nadia was still expressionless; she did not care about such things. She would go when she was called.

It did not matter to her whether it was first or last.

Her calm demeanor was a complete contrast to Daniel's enthusiasm.

"Show me."

Moving forward, they performed just as spectacularly as the previous duo had done.

Nadia stepped forward, her face calm, but her eyes held no expression.

She extended her hand, and the air around her seemed to shiver. A sharp, glistening icicle began to form, growing longer and thicker, its surface covered in frosty patterns. It floated menacingly in mid-air, the tip pointed outward, ready to strike.

Nadia had created a sharp and long icicle. It was thick and frosty, looking deadly as it floated in mid-air, aiming at the surroundings.

The cold radiated from it, making the nearby air chill noticeably.

Daniel moved closer, his presence crackling with energy. He raised his hand, and tiny arcs of electricity danced between his fingers. With a focused look, he directed his power toward the icicle. Lightning surged through the air, striking the ice. The effect was immediate and astonishing. The icicle began to pulse with electric energy, a deadly combination of ice and thunder.

Daniel had used his thunder element to charge the icicle with lightning. The end result was quite surprising; the ice pulsed with thunder as it levitated in the air.

The hum of electricity filled the air, creating a tense, charged atmosphere.

The area filled with a low hum, the charged air vibrating with potential.

The icicle, now a lethal weapon, hovered menacingly, glowing with an eerie light. It was clear that if anyone were struck by this creation, their fate would be sealed.

The power radiating from it was palpable, strong enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone watching.

Daniel had a wide grin on his face as he looked at the terrifying creation of his; just one shot of this was enough to annihilate all his future enemies.

He looked towards Nadia as he made a thumbs-up gesture to her, but she ignored him, solely focused on the ice levitating in front of her.

"Quite destructive, hmm," Sigfor commented while stroking his beard. He felt it was quite good for children their age.

He doubted anyone around their age was capable of achieving a synergy with their elements to this level.

Ice and Thunder were elements of destruction by nature. Being hybrid elements, they had more potency than normal elements.

It was no surprise they managed to make this powerful attack.

As he assessed the icicle charged with thunder, he felt the power behind the attack. It should be strong enough to obstruct a Rank-2 exorcist for some moments.

'Not bad at all. While this dumb brat is annoying, he has the skills.'

The elder's eyes shone with a certain light as he looked at the floating icicle.

'As expected from the heiress of the Mystic Purge Clan. That icicle is far from ordinary,' he thought to himself.

The icicle radiated a certain frost, chilling the air around as if trying to freeze the air itself.

Normal ice was not this potent. It was obvious she was special.

He imagined them growing; with their potential, he had a feeling they might even catch up to their older generation—his generation—in terms of power and skills if they kept training hard.

"Elder, how do you like my—our special combination?" Daniel asked, the elder lost in his own thoughts.

"It is…" Sigfor looked at Daniel, who was looking at him with excitement, waiting to be praised, "…not bad."

Daniel's expression soured when he heard the lacking remark.

He retorted, "What do you mean by 'not bad,' elder?"

"Is it great or not? Give a definite answer, please," he frowned and demanded.

Sigfor sighed; this kid would definitely get complacent in the future.

The elder's patience was wearing thin.

"You both worked hard. The elemental combination has a certain destructive power that is rare to come by at your level of attacks. If you could pour more espera, it might even resist a Rank-2 exorcist's force for some time as well," Sigfor told them.

"However, don't be too excited; this is all there is. Both of you still have room for a lot of improvement in the future. It's better that you don't become arrogant and look down on others. The world is vast, and there are geniuses everywhere," he added.

To make his words sound more effective, he pointed his finger towards the floating icicle.

The next moment, a short beam of gray light shot out from the tip of his finger, directly colliding with the icicle and destroying it as if it were glass hit with a hammer.

Not only that, the gray light pierced through the ice and smashed into the barrier, producing a strong ripple in it.

"…"

Daniel was looking at the scene with his jaw dropped. He turned his head from the ripple back to where the icicle was destroyed.

The small ice shards on the ground, laced with electricity, were proof of how powerful the thing Sigfor just did was.

Just a single small move from Sigfor completely destroyed their combined elemental construct as if it were nothing.

Daniel looked at the scene with a dumbfounded expression.
