"What a wimp!" Tista cleaned the floor with vortexes and sent the dirt out of the house.
"I’m not a wimp!" Solus half said and half burped. "It’s you guys who have a stomach the size of a literal house."
With three mages, cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes took less than five minutes.
"The good news is we can resume our lesson straight away." Menadion nodded. "The bad news is that Solus won’t participate."
"No way I’m missing it!" Solus used light magic to accelerate her metabolism and speed up the digestion process.
"I’m ready to go." She said after a quick stop to the bathroom to dump the extra weight.
"Oh, so now that the kitchen is done you suddenly remember you can do that." Lith clicked his tongue.
"It’s nothing like that." Solus blushed. "Cleaning the kitchen wasn’t worth wasting good food. Mom’s lesson is. It’s a matter of priorities."
"More like laziness." Tista replied. "You go and have fun. I’ll hold the fort."
"Thanks, Big Sis." Lith Warped everyone back at the tower. "Where were we?"
"The coins." Menadion returned the pieces of silver already bonded with the small red crystal to them. "Start over. It will help you think."
Lith and Solus also took a normal silver coin out of their pocket dimension, to use it as a reference once they were done splitting the crystal from the coin.
’Okay, back to square two.’ Lith though. ’How do I go from this to this?’
He examined the mint coin and then the dismantled one. Read exclusive chapters at freewebnovel
’Let’s see.’ Solus thought. ’Creation Magic requires both light and darkness in all of its steps. Maybe that’s what I need to do here as well.’
She then imbued her coin with equal amounts of both elements, but light and darkness canceled each other once they spread evenly.
’Nope. This is as pointless as turning the heat and the AC on together. Maybe a little unbalance is needed.’
Solus took a deep breath and injected more light element, making it circulate inside the coin like blood inside a living being. Slowly but steadily the matter inside the metal started to rearrange itself.
’I did it! I did it on my own and before Lith!’ Or so she thought until the coin bent with a screeching sound. ’On not.’
The noise drew Lith’s attention and a tut from Menadion.
"Again." She fixed the coin and bonded it with the red crystal before returning it to Solus. freeweɓnovel.cøm
A corner of Menadion’s mouth was curled up in a smile she couldn’t suppress and Lith noticed it.
’Okay, if light doesn’t work, let’s go with more darkness.’ After removing the mana crystal, Solus inverted the amounts of injected elements and once again the metal started to change.
To fall apart, to be precise.
The coin turned into a fine silvery dust that Menadion restored with Creation Magic.
