I Made Up Forbidden Spells, and They Actually Worked?

Alice and Delina Reba exchanged a smile. Though they were somewhat confused by the seemingly simple spell, they both trusted Dean Bruce's words and decided to continue practicing.

In the following days, Alice and Delina Reba diligently practiced the "Two Tigers" spell and its accompanying movements. Dean Bruce stood by, offering occasional guidance, encouragement, and advice.

However, Dean Bruce knew full well that this spell held no real magical power. His true intention was to get the two girls to focus more on their learning and practice, while also planting a seed of curiosity and desire for magic in their hearts.

One day, Dean Bruce arrived in the classroom as usual, ready to teach Alice and Delina Reba.

But when he entered, he found both girls excitedly discussing something.

"What are you two talking about?" Dean Bruce asked with curiosity.

Alice turned to him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Teacher, we've discovered a secret!"

"Oh? What secret?" Dean Bruce asked, intrigued.

Alice grabbed Delina Reba's hand and they both walked up to Dean Bruce, speaking in a mysterious tone. "We've discovered that the 'Two Tigers' spell actually contains a very special magical power!"

Dean Bruce was taken aback, but he maintained a calm expression and asked, "Oh? How did you figure that out?"

Alice and Delina Reba exchanged a look before speaking in unison. "We've been practicing seriously, just as you instructed. And then one day, while we were practicing, we felt a warm current flowing inside us. As we continued with the movements and the chant, the warmth became stronger and stronger!"

Dean Bruce was secretly impressed. He hadn't expected that the two girls might actually feel something. However, he kept his face serious and said, "Really? That's incredible! Can you describe what that feeling was like?"

Alice nodded, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "It was a very warm and comfortable feeling, like there was a force flowing inside us, filling us with energy and vitality!"

Delina Reba added, "Also, we've noticed that ever since we felt that force, our magical abilities have significantly improved!"

Dean Bruce was even more surprised. He hadn't expected that the made-up spell would actually have an effect on the two girls. However, he quickly came up with a reasonable explanation—perhaps, during their practice, the two girls had unintentionally unlocked their latent potential and magical talent.

So, Dean Bruce, with a serious face, said, "It seems like you two really have talent! But remember, magic requires constant practice and understanding. You need to keep going and aim to master more magical knowledge and skills as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Dean Bruce felt a chill in his heart.

Wasn't this just serious nonsense he was spouting?

"Teacher, could you explain more?" Alice asked. "We're still a little confused."

"Yeah! Master," Delina Reba added. "We don't quite understand. This seems kind of deep."

Dean Bruce was speechless for a moment. If he continued to talk, who knew what else he'd have to make up?

But he decided to press on. After all, everything he had invented had turned out to be right, and making things up would likely not cause any harm.

Clearing his throat, he said with the utmost seriousness, "Alright, since you're so eager to understand, let me explain further. The 'Two Tigers' spell is actually an ancient magical ritual, originating from an old legend."

"The legend says that a long, long time ago, there were two incredibly powerful wizards. They were known as the 'Tiger of Light' and the 'Tiger of Shadows.' Despite their immense power, their personalities were very different, and they often argued because of their differing beliefs. One day, they decided to have a magical duel to determine which one of their ideologies was the right one."

"The result of their duel was a mutual defeat. They realized that continuing like this would only throw the magical world into chaos. So, they decided to seal their powers away, transforming them into a special magical ritual to pass down to future generations. And this ritual is the 'Two Tigers' spell that you are practicing now."

"When you chant this spell and perform the corresponding movements, what you're actually doing is awakening the powers of the 'Tiger of Light' and the 'Tiger of Shadows.' You are temporarily merging them within your body, which will strengthen your magical abilities."

"However, this fusion of powers is not easy to master. It requires continuous practice and understanding before you can truly grasp its essence. Furthermore, because the power of the 'Tiger of Light' and the 'Tiger of Shadows' is so overwhelming, improper control could cause harm to yourselves."

"That's why I keep stressing that magic requires constant practice and understanding. You must be mindful and feel the flow of that power in order to truly master it and make it work for you."

Alice and Delina Reba listened intently, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and desire. They hadn't expected that such a seemingly simple spell could hold such a magical story and legend behind it.

"Teacher, we'll definitely practice even harder from now on!" Alice said firmly.

"Yes, Master, I will also practice diligently," Delina Reba added, expressing her determination.

Dean Bruce nodded in satisfaction. "Good. I believe you will both succeed. But remember, the magical world is filled with unknowns and dangers. You must always stay vigilant and cautious if you want to survive in this world."

"We understand, Teacher/Master," Alice and Delina Reba replied in unison.

Seeing that the two women were so focused on learning magic, Dean Bruce decided not to interrupt them any further.

As he walked out of the classroom, Prolo Hawthorne came over and said, "Teacher, my grandfather invited you to dinner at our house. He says there's something important he needs to announce."

"Now?" Dean Bruce asked.

"Yes, right now," Prolo Hawthorne replied.

Dean Bruce frowned slightly. Though he felt a bit puzzled, he nodded. "Alright, I'll go change my clothes and join you."

Prolo Hawthorne led Dean Bruce through the hallways of the Magic Academy, passing through a lush garden before arriving at an ancient villa. The doors were wide open, and the sounds of laughter and conversation could be heard from inside, clearly indicating that the party had already begun.

They entered the villa, and a warm, lively atmosphere greeted them. The hall was decorated in a grand, golden style, with portraits of past members of the Hawthorne family hanging on the walls, showcasing the glory and prestige of this ancient family.

Prolo Hawthorne's grandfather, Nozer Hawthorne, an energetic old man, stood in the center of the hall, smiling as he greeted the guests. Upon seeing Dean Bruce, he immediately approached.

"Teacher Dean, welcome, welcome!" Nozer Hawthorne said enthusiastically, shaking Dean Bruce's hand. "It's an honor to have you here!"

"Oh no, Mr. Nozer, you are too kind," Dean Bruce smiled in response. "It's truly an honor for me to be invited to such a gathering."

At the banquet, there was an abundance of delicacies, and guests were engaged in cheerful conversation. Dean Bruce and Nozer Hawthorne chatted as they walked, occasionally greeting other guests. Suddenly, Nozer Hawthorne stopped in his tracks, his expression turning serious.

"Teacher Dean, the real reason I invited you here today is to discuss something important," Nozer Hawthorne said in a lowered voice.

Dean Bruce's expression grew serious as well. "Mr. Nozer, please speak."

Nozer Hawthorne sighed, his face showing a hint of concern. "As you know, the threat from the Black Hole organization has not been fully eradicated. While we've destroyed their headquarters, their remaining forces are still lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Dean Bruce nodded. "Indeed, we cannot afford to let our guard down for even a moment."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time," Nozer Hawthorne continued. "In order to completely eliminate the threat of the Black Hole organization, we need to form a stronger alliance, uniting all the forces we can."

"Form an alliance?" Dean Bruce furrowed his brow. "That's definitely a good idea, but implementing it won't be easy."

Nozer Hawthorne nodded. "Indeed, building an alliance takes time and effort. But I believe this is the only way to stand against the Black Hole organization. I want to ask you to lead this alliance and guide us in our fight against the dark forces."

Dean Bruce was taken aback. He hadn't expected Nozer Hawthorne to make such a request. He thought for a moment before replying, "Mr. Nozer, you overestimate me. I am just an ordinary mage, not fit to take on such a heavy responsibility."

Nozer Hawthorne shook his head, his voice firm. "Teacher Dean, you are being too modest. The wisdom and courage you demonstrated in the fight against the Black Hole organization are evident to all. I believe that only you can lead us to victory."

Dean Bruce looked into Nozer Hawthorne's trusting eyes, and a sense of responsibility stirred within him. He knew that what he was being asked to do was not just a matter of personal honor, but the safety of the entire magical world.

"Alright," Dean Bruce finally nodded. "I accept the challenge, but I will need everyone's support and help."

Nozer Hawthorne's face lit up with joy. "That's wonderful! With you on our side, Teacher Dean, we'll surely defeat the dark forces!"

The banquet continued, but Dean Bruce's mind could no longer rest easy. He knew that he was about to embark on a path filled with uncertainty and danger. Yet, for the peace and stability of the magical world, he was willing to give everything.
