For the next few hours, Nux and Evane continued to talk about Fire Burst and how to use it efficiently.
And the more they talked, the more impressed Nux got.
Initially, he thought there he won't be able to learn anything major and just wanted to spend some time with Evane so that she gets more comfortable around him.
However, soon, Nux realized something.
Evane has mastered the Fire Burst Skill, a 2-Star Skill to Big Achievement Level.
This was something that almost no Grand Master Stage Cultivator would do.
2-Star Skills simply weren't worth the effort.
It would be a lot better to learn a better, higher grade Skill.
However, Evane still continued to learn it just so she could teach it to her students and help them in some way.
A commendable attitude indeed.
Evane's image in Nux's heart rose by another level today.
However, no matter what, Nux still had to end this conversation.
"Ahh… Teacher Evane… I think I understand it now…"
He had already achieved his goal, he should act cautiously now so that he does not ruin his future plan.
"Good job." Evane nodded with a smile.
"Teacher Evane, I should leave now. I think I can increase my strength with this! It is a big discovery!" Nux exclaimed as his eyes shined with unconcealed happiness and excitement.
"Alright, I also have to take a class, you should leave now."
Evane chuckled as she saw him acting so excited.
He was indeed an innocent and curious student.
She liked him a little.
"Alright, Teacher Evane! Thank you for your help!
You are the best teacher ever!"
Nux exclaimed and then quickly left the office.
Evane's smile widened when she heard his words and then, she sighed.
"Haahh… He is quick to catch on to things and is eager to learn more…
He is a good student…"
Then, Teacher Evane closed her eyes for a little while and took a 15 minutes rest.
…
Time passed, and Nux, who was in his room continued to learn and experiment with the Fire Burst Skill.
He didn't exactly care about this Skill, however, he required it for the next set of his plans, therefore, he worked hard for it.
Just like this, 8 hours passed by and Nux finally stood up.
He then stretched his body and glanced outside the window.
It was already night and the moon was out.
A smile appeared on Nux's face.
'Perfect timing.'
He then left his room and knocked on the room next door.
"Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
A few seconds later, Evane, who was wearing her pale yellow coloured nightgown opened the door and frowned.
"Nux? What happened? Why are you here?"
Nux's eyes shined in delight as he exclaimed,
"Teacher! I was finally able to do what you said! I used the fireball before using Fire Burs-" Suddenly, Nux realized something.
"Ahh, Teacher, I apologize, I was a little too excited and curious so I came here without noticing the time.
I apologize for disturbing you." He bowed.
"…"
Evane turned silent.
Normally, she wouldn't talk to a student at a time like this, since, obviously, she needs to take out time for herself.
However, for some reason, seeing Nux's excited face, Evane couldn't control herself and muttered,
"Would you like to discuss it inside my room?"
"Huh?" Nux frowned and raised his head in confusion.
"I mean, you are excited to share what you learned with me, correct?"
"I am excited, but I understand it is time for your rest, you work hard for the whole day, I shouldn't bother you at the night."
Evane smiled and shook her head,
"Don't worry, good students are never a bother for a teacher.
Also, I am curious to see what you have learned as well.
Now come into my room, we should not disturb other teachers."
Nux's smile widened and he nodded.
"Teacher Evane, you are the best teacher in the Academy."
Evane chuckled and then, the two of them entered her room.
Nux then started looking around and noticed that there were lots of painting on the walls, then, his eyes fell on a painting on a canvas and paints and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Teacher Evane, you painted that!?"
"I did. Do you like it?"
"What about the paintings over there and the ones on the walls? Did you paint them as well?"
"I painted them all," Evane nodded.
"Teacher Evane… although I do not know much about the paintings, but I can say for certainty that these are the best paintings I have ever seen in my life."
"Hahaha~ You don't have to lie to me like that. These are not that good." Evane chuckled. Normally, she would ignore compliments like these since most of them are made to please her because of her status, however, this time, for some reason, she actually felt good for being praised like that.
"I do not lie, Teacher Evane. Your paintings are really good." Nux shook his head.
"Alright Alright, let's not talk about this right now. You were here because you wanted to show what you learned, correct? Let's start, I am curious as well."
Evane changed the topic.
She was bad at taking compliments even though she is a princess.
Nux smiled when he noticed that and nodded.
"Alright,"
Then, a Fireball appeared on the top of his hand and he continued,
"As you said, we shouldn't make a big fireball from the start.
Fire Burst is a Skill where you solidify a great amount of Mana and then cover it with Fire, then you shoot it on your target, and once it collides, all the Mana explodes.
However, just like you said, the better way to use it is to make a Fireball, then inject more Mana into it and,"
Nux then injected Mana into the Fireball he created and it shot towards the door.
"Boom.
Your attack will work, this way, you will use less time, and since the Mana wasted would be minimal, the output of the Skill would be stronger."
Nux muttered as his Fireball disappeared into thin air before it could collide with the door.
Teacher Evane, who saw everything couldn't help but blink her eyes in surprise.
"Y-You… how did you do it so quickly…?"
"Hehe~ I still need to work on it a little,
So I will be depending on Teacher Evane's help~"
