Chapter 206: Spreading Freeze
Because she doesn't know how to skate yet, Sakura chooses to ask Xia Yu to teach her.
Originally, she was thinking of finding a teacher to teach her, but Teacher Guanyue was currently teaching Li Meiling how to skate, while Teacher Terada was teaching Lijia, and the other teachers also had their own students to teach.
So Sakura thought about it and decided to ask her familiar classmate Xia for help.
Xia Yu naturally had no reason to refuse, so the two of them, one teaching the other, soon started skating on the ice rink.
"Just imagine you are on roller skates, use your legs to drive the blades to kick the ice, don't always think about slipping, and your body will naturally adjust its balance."
On the ice rink, Xia Yu skated slowly and backwards, guiding the cautious Xiaoying in front of him. It must be said that Xiaoying's motor nerves were really well developed. After he guided her once or twice, Xiaoying could skate quite well.
In addition to him, Li Meiling, who is being taught by Teacher Guanyue, is also making progress little by little, although she still falls easily.
As for Yoshiyuki Terada, who was teaching Rika, there was no sign of teaching at all, because he was skating while holding Rika's hand.
Both of them had smiles that came from the bottom of their hearts on their faces. Rika's face was rosy and her eyes were full of longing. All her attention was focused on Terada Yoshiyuki's face who was smiling gently.
Soon, the morning skating time passed slowly.
Lunch break, lounge.
"Tomoyo, have you recovered enough strength now? Do you want to perform again this afternoon?"
Xia Yu held two cups of drinks that he had just bought from the hot drink stand in his hands, and asked casually as he walked towards Chise who was sitting next to the fireplace.
At this time, Zhishi had regained his composure, but after hearing what Xia Yu had just said, he couldn't help but lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
"I, I'd better forget it. I don't really like being stared at by too many people."
Hearing this, Xia Yu placed the hot milk in front of Zhishi with a strange expression, and replied in a nonchalant manner: "But aren't you the lead singer of the campus choir? You've participated in so many competitions, aren't you used to being stared at?"
"..."
Chishi was speechless for a moment. She wanted to say that what she was not used to was Xia Yu holding her hand and being stared at, not the stare of the audience when she was performing on stage.
But she turned these words over in her mind and ultimately did not say them out loud. It was too embarrassing to say them out loud.
Seeing Zhishi's silent response, Xia Yu did not ask any more questions. It seemed that Zhishi had his own reasons. In that case, let it go this time and talk about it next time.
The lunch break for extracurricular teaching is not long. After lunch, we have to continue skating for a few hours in the afternoon before today's teaching ends.
After a whole morning of practice, when it was time to skate in the afternoon, even the students who were skating for the first time were able to skate for a distance.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the temperature around me seemed to be colder. Even the students who were resistant to cold couldn’t help but shiver.
Unable to bear the cold, most students rushed directly to the lounge, where heating was provided and hot drinks were for sale.
Before long, there were only a few students left on the skating rink.
"Shit... How come the temperature has become so cold?"
Xia Yu put his hands to his mouth and blew a breath, then couldn't help rubbing his palms. He didn't know what was going on. It was still a little hot when he was skating in the morning, but it became cold in the afternoon.
"Xia, do you feel a little cold too?"
Seeing Xia Yu rubbing his hands there, Sakura and Tomoyo slid over. They both couldn't help but hug their arms at this time.
"Well, the temperature seems a little abnormal."
Xia Yu carefully sensed the gradually decreasing temperature. According to his body sensation... "It's probably almost a few degrees below zero. Isn't that right? Is the heating in this place broken?"
Just as he was guessing this, a crackling sound of ice suddenly occurred in the ice rink.
Hearing the strange crackling sound, Xia Yu looked towards the source of the sound and saw cracks suddenly appearing on the ice in the distance, as if there was some ferocious beast under the ice, hitting the hard ice surface.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu slid towards the crack in confusion, wanting to see what happened. However, he had just slid a few meters away when something strange happened.
In an instant, the temperature dropped sharply.
Those ordinary people who were still staying in the skating rink were frozen by the sudden growth of ice in the blink of an eye.
The next second, the ice began to spread, with crackling sounds continuing. In the blink of an eye, all the people in the skating rink were frozen in the ice.
The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for people to react. Looking at this bizarre scene, Xia Yu was surprised. What the hell was this?
Before he could react, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked down and saw that the ice had spread to the back of his feet and was rapidly freezing towards his body.
Dangerous!
In an instant, a sense of crisis came to my mind.
Without even a moment's hesitation, Xia Yu pulled out his magic wand from the air, with the tip of the wand pointing downward, and stabbed it fiercely at the ice beneath his feet.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
boom--!
A blazing fireball suddenly appeared, accompanied by local high temperature and impact force. The spreading ice instantly turned into debris, and then evaporated into water mist due to the high temperature.
The loud explosion echoed in all directions. Xia Yu spread his wings to escape from the dense mist, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. If he had reacted a second or two later, he might have been frozen in place.
This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. The only thing that could cause this is the dangerous Clow Cards!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu hurriedly looked towards Xiaoying's position, wanting to remind her to pay attention, but as soon as he looked over, his pupils suddenly shrank.
At Sakura and Tomoyo's position, Tomoyo had been frozen in the cold ice without them knowing when, and Sakura was standing next to the ice, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
call--!
The sound of wind came, and Xiaoying, who was at a loss, turned her head and looked at Xia Yu who was flying over. She couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Xia classmate, Zhishi..."
"Ah."
Xia Yu nodded with a cold face. He reached out and touched the ice that froze Zhishi. Although Zhishi in the ice did not show much fear, he seemed to be able to feel Zhishi's fear.
hateful!
"Hey, are you guys okay?"
Not far away, Li Xiaolang, who was also not frozen, was running over. He shouted as he ran, "This is a frozen card from the Clow Cards. Be careful, don't get frozen."
"Frozen cards——"
Hearing Li Xiaolang's voice, Xia Yu clenched the magic wand in his hand, and his emotions couldn't stop surging. He forced himself to resist the urge to use "powerful blast" to completely destroy the ice rink in order to force out the Clow Cards, as this would affect other people.
But doing nothing was even more impossible. Recalling all the fire spells he knew, Xia Yu fiercely stabbed the tip of his staff into the ice, mobilized all his rising emotions, and recited the most powerful fire spell he could now cast.
"Vulcan opens the way!!"
I am not sure whether Vulcan's Path is a magic to summon fire, because neither the original book nor the movie seems to say what spell Dumbledore used to summon the fire. Vulcan's Path can also be literally translated as "temporary separation", which is more like a spell to control fire than to summon fire.
But apart from this spell, the other fire spells always feel a little lacking. As for the unknown and powerful Gublei Fairy Fire, that thing is not aggressive and its only feature is to make the flame burn forever. It is not as good as the blazing flame.
Although I can definitely make up a spell of my own, such as Firestorm, Lava Rage, Scalding Lava, Evil God Fire, Boiling Chaos, etc...
