What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?
Chapter 52: First Flick

"Ehehe… Master's essence is filling me~~"

I heard something weird coming from Diao Chan's direction.

"What is it, Diao Chan?"

"Eh? Umm… I think I got it, Master!" She squeaked.

Oh? That's quite fast, could she also be another genius? Even normal Witches would have to spend at least a few weeks before they could properly sense their Mana Core and use it.

What's with my luck though?

Lian Li is a heaven sent genius with innate Divine Lightning quarks.

Manami could have all her quark proficiency at Advanced or even Master level had she not been crippled.

Cai Hong is a damn Myriad Colours Dragon, albeit a really adorable one. Need to give her more headpats.

And then Eris is turning out to be the next strongest Swordsmaster I've ever met.

I wonder what is keeping these girls together?

From what I witnessed, most Masters and Elders have complained that their disciples constantly bicker and fight amongst themselves.

But my girls seem to have gotten along extremely well despite the rocky start every time someone new came in. Just what methods are they using to make peace with each other?

Oh well, guess it will remain a mystery to me for now.

"Now, I'll demonstrate a Spell. I want you to try to cast this later."

Diao Chan nodded her head quickly.

I took a deep breath, "'Giver of life and maker of waves, this song does request you to behave. Oh formless one, your will is spun; by my right as your Summoner, I bid you to stir! Water Ball!'"

An orb of water the size of a ball formed in front of me. I let it hover in the air for a few moments before letting it splash on the ground.

I passed her a piece of paper with the spell written on it.

"Now try to maintain that feeling within your Mana Core while chanting this. If you lose your concentration for even a second, the Spell will not take effect."

"Is it necessary to memorise the words?" She asked.

"If you wish to cast the desired spell, yes. Once you've learnt all the fundamentals, you can start creating your own Spells to cast. Most of the advanced Witches make their own spells using existing ones as base. Using their own chants will hide the spell they are trying to cast from their opponents who are unfamiliar with them."

Diao Chan's eyes widened, "Spells can be created? I thought there might be some kind of fixed system in place that all Witches have to follow."

I nodded an affirmative, "You'll be surprised at how easy it is when you get proficient enough. Now try casting this spell."

She read the paper once before closing her eyes, her arm stretched out in front of her. A few seconds passed before a rather perverse smile materialised on her face, ruining her cool facade.

Before I could wonder what it was about, she had already begun chanting.

"'Giver of life and maker of waves, this song does request you to behave. Oh formless one, your will is spun; by my right as your Summoner, I bid you to stir! Water Ball!'"

I felt the air shift and the energy level spike, showing that her cast had been successful.

A water ball the size of a boulder appeared in the middle of my courtyard.

Damn, on her first try? This girl is going places.

Before I could praise her, the orb of water began to bubble, its surface expanding in all directions at an alarming speed.

It seems like she had lost her concentration on maintaining the ball's shape.

I flicked my arm, instantly freezing the ball into ice.

Clenching my fist, the ice ball shattered into millions of pieces before disintegrating into diamond dust.

"Very impressive for a first try," I praised.

She smirked at me.

I flicked her forehead, "But don't get cocky, you lost your concentration on the last part. If I hadn't done what I did, this whole courtyard would've been soaked."

Her cool facade shattered again, "Yes Master! Please punish me whenever I make a mistake!"

I flicked her again, "Stop talking nonsense and try again."

"Ehehehe~ Yes!"

What a weird girl...
