'[i]This is pointless[/i]' Nathan thought to himself. '[i]I can already use all the magic I want in combat. Adding in this overly complicated stuff will just...well...complicate things[/i]. All Nathan needed in a fight were his fists, his flames, and sometimes his wind. '[i]I could be making such better use of my time training...but instead I'm stuck here[/i]; he lamented again. Nathan was just paying enough attention to not get caught by the teacher. While he understood why he had to be here (because of his job as Meira's bodyguard) he didn't understand why he had to be a part of the class as well
