Magic Knights Revolution

[RyderHakubi]

Still watching the scene from behind the bushes... Firia facefaulted... silently.  Because a hologram can't make a sound...

***
Clef sweatdropped and replied, "No Hikaru, that isn't it..."

[Shukuen]

Sweatdropping slightly, Hikaru quickly apologized before repeating Clef's instructions. "I feel... warm..." she murmured this time. A pale, red glow surrounding her briefly.

[RyderHakubi]

Clef nodded and said quietly, "Good... we're past the first step.  Is anything going through your mind?"

***
Firia's head snapped eastward, as the Revolution radar picked up something approaching quickly...

[Shukuen]

"I can't descibe it... it just feels... warm," Hikaru murmured. "Like... like sitting by the fire at home..."

[RyderHakubi]

"That would be the magic within you... reach out for it, try and grasp onto the feeling..." Clef instructed...

[Shukuen]

Hikaru nodded, then focused on that feeling. All the while, the red glow surrounding her began to pulse.

[Bean Bandit]

Umi twitched, staring hard at the glowing Hikaru.

"I think I've seen this anime," she mumbled. "What's he doing, making us into Super Saiyajins?"

[RyderHakubi]

Clef nodded, "Very good Hikaru... focus on the feeling... does a phrase come to mind now?"

[Shukuen]

Flexing her fingers slightly, Hikaru suddenly yelled out "Fire Arrow!" and shot off a slender fireball...

...which, strangely enough, flew towards the bushes Firia was hiding in.

But hey, it wasn't as if Hikaru KNEW that they were being watched. It was only a coincidence that the Fire Arrow flew towards said bushes. Certainly not instinct or actually sensing someone there. No, that would be impossible...

...right?

[RyderHakubi]

Firia teleported to a tree branch to continue observing as the bush caught on fire...

***
Clef smiled, "Very good Hikaru... you've learned your first spell!"

[Shukuen]

Hikaru beemed at the praise, ignoring the burning bush she had "accidently" lit. "So what's next, Clef?" she asked.

[RyderHakubi]

"Well Hikaru, it's up to you... now that you have one spell, the magic should help you learn more in time..." Clef said.

"Who wants to be next?"

[Bean Bandit]

Umi just stared. "I'm missing my fencing tournament to become a magical girl?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

[RyderHakubi]

Clef once again hit Umi on the head with his staff...

[Bean Bandit]

"ITAI! Stop that, you little gnome!" Umi snapped.
