There was no way creating a spell directly inspired by a solar flare wasn’t a ginormous task to achieve; there was also the fact that she had to create a barrier to keep it in as one of the requirements. In fact, she had said it herself that it would be kind of hard to achieve. And now, Yuri was claiming she had completed it in, what, almost thirty minutes? She had to be joking. Merlin jumped up from the mat. “Say that again.” Yuri frowned. “I said I have completed the spell.” “That’s quick,” Jaehyun blurted Merlin’s thoughts. “I expected it to take longer.” “Yeah. Me too,” said Yuri as she tapped on her smartwatch and the mana-surge barricading the ring fell apart. Since she was the one who had requested to use the White Room; the control was given to her as a result. The ring retreated into the floor, and the stage in the center of the White Room returned. Merlin and Jaehyun stepped down from it. “It turned out to be quite simple, once I understood the concept.” Yuri continued. A few seconds passed and she didn’t add anything. Merlin raised a brow. “Well, are you gonna explain?” The shadow of a smile appeared on Yuri’s face. “I thought you would never ask.” Merlin snorted. “I’ll start with the barrier since it isn’t something exceptional compared to the Solar Flare spell. Fire doesn’t work like other elements, so I decided to think outside the box. Since I can’t create a barrier like the usual, then what I did was focus on the underlying concept of what my fire spells did, or, technically, what my Solar Flare would do.” “And that is?” Jaehyun asked. “Explosion,” Yuri replied. “More specifically, the mass release of K.E.” She stared at them, blinked, and added, “Kinetic energy.” “We know what K.E is,” Merlin said. “How does your barrier stop kinetic energy from being released then?” “That’s the neat part.” She walked closer to them, tapped on her smartwatch and a projection of her scribbles on the note app appeared. “It won’t block it, it’ll absorb it, store it, and split it into tiny parts. So think about it like taking the kinetic energy from a bomb’s explosion and splitting it apart into tiny pieces until it’s converted into fire crackers.” Merlin blinked. That was a rather creative way to create a barrier. Technically, it wasn’t a barrier, but it would serve the same function as a barrier was meant to. However, it still had some problems to consider when he thought about it deeply. “Even if you split the kinetic energy apart, they’ll still be close to one another, won’t they? Won’t the damage still be as impactful?” Merlin asked. Yuri nodded. “That’s why I’ll be sending them to the sky.” “The sky?” Jaehyun inclined his head. “Splitting the kinetic energy generated from the solar flare’s explosion could generate a million split parts, depending on how big you make each piece. Casting the solar flare spell, splitting the kinetic energy it generates, turning it into a spell, and sending it to the sky. That sounds like an awful lot. Will you be fine?” “When you break it down like that, it makes it sound like I will be casting up to four spells, when in reality it’s only two,” Yuri said. “Of course, I’ll be fine. Who do you take me for?” Merlin gulped. “Well, we’ve only just concluded the theoretical aspect of creating the spells,” he said. “Now we have to test it.” Jaehyun flinched. “I won’t lie, I’m having second thoughts about this.” Merlin nodded. “Me too. But it’s either she tests it here, or risks destroying the whole school on Sunday.” “Have you thought about the possibility of her destroying the whole school today?” Jaehyun asked with a raised brow. “I thought about that as soon as I proposed she created the spell,” said Merlin. Jaehyun’s eyes twitched. “At least this way we won’t have to yell at the top of our lungs to get her to stop. And, besides, I’m here if anything goes awry.” Merlin said that with a smile, but he wished from the bottom of his heart that everything would go smoothly. Solely from his assumption,
