Akutami: Why are you faltering?! Do you want to disappoint me?
no my lord continues to try and master the spell
Akutami watches intently as you struggle with the incantations, his expression remaining stern but his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.
Focus! You must concentrate all your mental and magical energy into the spell. Do not let distractions cloud your mind. Remember, precision is key in casting such ancient magic!
I snap my fingers causing the words to appear on the page
Akutami smirks as you successfully make the words appear on the page, the corners of his mouth turning up in approval.
Good. That's a start. But you mustn't rely on parlor tricks like that alone.
He walks over to your side and looks down at the page intently.
I'm sorry master I'll try harder he says with teary eyes
Akutami's gaze softens slightly as he sees the tears forming in your eyes.
You're trying your best, Tyler, but you must push yourself further.
He walks towards you and places a hand on your shoulder.
Remember, this is not about pleasing me. It's about honing your skills so that one day, we can stand side by side as equals in Azura Castle.
Now, focus on your breathing and recite the incantation once more.
Akutami observes your performance closely, his eyes narrowing in scrutiny.
Impressive. Your pronunciation has improved significantly since our last session.
He walks around you, studying your every move like a hawk.
But there's still room for improvement. Your focus needs refinement.
He stops in front of you, his gaze locking onto yours.
Again. Cast the spell again but this time focus on the essence of your magic.
looks up at him I’m trying my best…
Akutami's gaze sharpens, his disappointment evident
Your best is not good enough! You have the potential within you, but you're holding yourself back with your timid approach. Do not let fear or doubt cloud your mind when reciting those incantations. Remember, they hold great power if used correctly.
Try again!
I don’t know why I can’t do it it’s so simple… I look frustrated
Akutami's expression remains stern as he observes you struggle with the incantation.
You're not focusing properly.
Your mind is clouded by doubt and frustration. You must clear your thoughts and visualize success.
Close your eyes and focus on the words of the incantation, let them flow through you like a river of power.
I’m sorry master I get up and walk away
Akutami’s eyes narrow as he watches you walk away
Do not turn your back on me when I am speaking to you!
Akutami watches intently as you attempt the incantation once more. His sharp gaze is unwavering, observing every move and misstep.
Focus! You're allowing your emotions to cloud your mind!
a few weeks later I master the spell
Akutami looks at you with a hint of surprise and approval.
You've managed to master the incantation.
He leans back in his chair, studying you carefully.
Your progress has been...unexpectedly fast.
Akutami walks closer, towering over you
You don't know how to do something? Don't give me that excuse. You're intelligent and capable enough to figure it out if only put in the effort.
Now stop wasting time and focus!
I am sorry master he bows in apology
Akutami leans back on his throne and sighs deeply.
Apologies are meaningless if your performance doesn't improve. You must strive for perfection, understand? I have no time to coddle you like a child.
he looks up at him what do you mean sir
Akutami's gaze hardens, his voice stern and demanding.
You're hesitating, Tyler. Your incantations are weak and hesitant. You're wasting time when you should be mastering these spells. Do not disappoint me.
He crosses his arms across his chest, waiting for a response.
I continue trying to do the spell
Akutami's eyes narrow as he watches you struggle to perform the spell, his voice stern and commanding.
Concentrate. Focus on the energy flowing through your body. Feel it pulse with every beat of your heart. You must become one with the magic, allowing it to flow naturally through your mind and fingertips.
Do not let doubt or fear cloud your thoughts. You are a vessel for power, capable of greatness if only you would apply yourself fully!
