Logan mentally called out to Orus as he wondered where he was.

"I am flying, master. Lisa wanted to practice using her wings. We are near the trees," Orus replied.

Logan checked around. Since they were close to the mountains, they were currently near a creek that passed through a barren wasteland. The trees were just south of them, where the creek flowed into a lake.

Logan flew towards the direction of the trees, hoping to see the two figures. It wouldn’t be hard to spot Lisa since her wings radiated a white light.

It wasn’t long before he saw the girl practicing. The light of her wings allowed him to see Orus, who was flying around her like a lifeline in case she fell or used too much mana.

"So she is still struggling with maneuvering without wind magic..." Logan thought as he got closer to the girl, making his presence known so she wouldn’t get scared.

"Lisa, do you need help again?" Logan asked as he made his wings radiate in front of her.

"No, Logan, I need to get this by myself. You won’t always be with me, so I need to learn to fly alone." Logan got closer to at least watch her to make sure no accidents happened.

It was ten minutes later when Lisa finally stopped. She was tired and had sat down near a fallen trunk by the lake.

"Damn it, how can you fly so well and I, who have the skill, can’t? I know it’s because of your other magic, but it’s just not fair," Lisa said, putting her hands on her cheeks. She was fuming, and Logan could see it.

"How about this: I start off using my magic, and slowly stop using the spell so you can get adjusted to it," Logan suggested, which made Lisa finally look at him for the first time during the long day.

"Sounds like a plan. Use that buff, I will get used to this." Lisa stood up in a hurry while creating her wings that flowed from her back like an angel.

Logan did as asked before doing the same. But before letting her fly off, he handed her a bottle with mana water.

"Take this first, you will need the mana regeneration along with this skill," Logan said as he used Kryst’s skill for helping mana recovery, knowing Lisa had used probably half of her mana already during practice.

"Now then, you should try flying again. I will boost you, then remove it so you can get used to doing it without the spell. Get a feel for it—don’t rely on the skill, but learn from it." Logan created his own wings to show her.

"Now, let’s go. I should try doing the same so I won’t always rely on Zephyr’s magic. You never know what might happen." Logan pulled Lisa up before letting go about ten meters from the ground.

Orus once again took flight, which helped Logan and Lisa feel safe as they began to stop using Zephyr’s wind magic to stay aloft. Logan now understood why Lisa had struggled—it had to do with balancing their weight to stay up.

He experimented with different positions for his arms and legs, which made Lisa laugh. One attempt was a certain superhero’s iconic pose, with one hand forward, but it only made him look and feel foolish. It didn’t improve his speed or balance, so he kept his hands next to his thighs and let his wings do all the work.

"It’s much harder than I thought. No wonder you’re struggling…" Logan used his mental link to speak with Lisa.

"Told you! Now give me a buff. I might have something, just need to know what it is," Lisa said as Logan used it on himself and then on her.

"What did you discover? I might need to stop in the next thirty minutes if we keep going," Logan said, seeing that he had 100 mana points left.

"It’s not about our position, it’s about our wing placement. We don’t give it much thought since they aren’t a part of us, but just like someone learning to swim, you need to move your wings in a circular motion, as if grabbing on to air," Lisa explained.

"Er… alright, so flapping them in a certain way…" Logan tried turning off his wind magic to test the theory. He saw that without the wind, his wings were only useful to keep him afloat. But when he commanded them to flap in a specific way, they began to collect the air needed to move.

"I see what you mean. I can’t explain it well, but I can feel the air around them. I think I can work on this later, though." Logan sighed, feeling spent, and asked Orus to come closer, hoping he wouldn’t just fall out of the sky.

"That is what you get, cheater. I can probably be here another two hours," Lisa laughed, getting the feel for the correct way to fly.

"Yes, yes, gloat all you want—you solved the mystery. Now let me rest, I am tired…" Logan began drinking mana water to replenish his reserves.

As soon as Lisa got tired, they both went back to the lake and sat on top of the trunk.

"So, are you still cranky?" Logan asked, feeling the cool spring night air.

"No, I was just a little angry, nothing much. Now tell me, why did you come to look for me? I doubt it was to ask me if dinner was ready," Lisa said, enjoying the view of the moon reflecting on the water’s surface.

"Well, it’s nothing. Can’t I just come to spend time with you? Just because you said I should wait doesn’t mean we have to avoid each other, right?" Logan said, handing Lisa a piece of fruit.

"Why do you always give out food and treats? We aren’t dogs, you know. Ruri said you do the same to her." The girl turned a stern gaze toward Logan.

"Fine, give it back. We just spent an hour or so flying and doing exercise. I thought you might need the extra calories," Logan pretended to swipe back the fruit.

"No, I already bit it, so hands off." Lisa stuffed her mouth to keep Logan from trying again.

Logan smiled as he kept eating. He slowly crept closer to hold Lisa’s hand, which was resting near the bark of the trunk.

"Say, Lisa… I know you said I should wait, but just don’t ignore me like today. We have a long trip ahead, we should just enjoy ourselves for now." Logan then let go before getting up.

"Now then, we must get up early so we should go back. There are two days left to get to our destination."

"Yeah… Alright, Logan, let’s enjoy ourselves. Now then, let’s see who gets back first." Lisa began to run. Logan chased from behind, feeling they progressed at least a little more today.
