Theo froze for a moment.
''A spell?''
Elise nodded once.
His gaze dropped to her staff, watching the water coiling around it.
''Is it… that?''
Elise followed his gaze for a moment before nodding again.
''The spell's name is Tidal Wave,'' she said, her expression unchanged. ''It'll work perfectly around that… strange umbrella.''
Theo looked at her for a moment.
He couldn't believe his ice-cold instructor was willing to part a spell onto him.
'But I'm not detecting any lies,' he thought, incredulously.
''Naturally, it isn't about the spell itself,'' Elise added. ''But it'll be a reason to not use your spear even outside the training grounds.''
Theo snapped out of his daze, nodding immediately.
''I understand,'' he said.
Elise studied him for a brief moment, then dropped another fact like it was nothing.
''It's a Bronze-entry spell that can grow all the way to Diamond level.''
Theo's eyes widened immediately.
'Diamond?'
That was… beyond a simple gift.
