Chapter 57: Shattered the high school science
One more thing that he was sure of was his body's resistance to fire. It was pretty obvious that fire mages have high resistance to fire and fire-based attacks. Xin was planning to use that to his advantage and cure all the people present in the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Natasha had started to cough blood while the others were entering the first stage of Blood Cough. Xin decided to make Natasha his priority and use a simple trick on her to check whether it's working or not.
"Don't worry, I will cure your sister right away," Xin murmured and carried Natasha in his arms.
Nen didn't even try to resist him from doing so. The reasons behind it were very simple. First, Xin was the only one in the restaurant who wasn't affected by the pollens.
Second, Nen was able to see a light in Xin's eyes that gave him assurance of his words, and third, Nen himself wasn't in the right condition to do anything for his sister. So, at a time like this, it was the best decision to take the help of someone who seems to have expertise in this field.
Xin carried Natasha in his arms and laid her down on a big dining table, generally used for a big family with eight to ten or even more dining members. Not only Nen's but even the owner's eyes were deadlocked on Xin's activities.
Each and every one of them was coughing on top of their lungs, and Xin was the only one who was breathing normally without having any health issues with him.
"Boss, I am borrowing the lighter and some paper from the kitchen," Xin informed the owner and barged into the kitchen without any hesitation.
When he came outside, his left hand was wrapped in a big roll of paper dipped in oil, while his right hand had a big gas lighter on it.
Nen's, and the owner's eyes widened with surprise. Both of them had a bad premonition about it.
Nen thought Xin will burn down Natasha to get rid of her completely, while the owner was of the idea that Xin will burn down the entire restaurant to get rid of the unknown virus.
"Cough, cough. Mr. Xin, what are you planning to do?!" Nen asked with some difficulty. He was having a bad time from continuous coughing; just to take in a single breath and pump it throughout his body was becoming a hard task for him.
The owner also wanted to ask the same, but when he saw another person asking the same question, he didn't bother to ask and waited for Xin to give out his reply.
"Mr. Nen, don't worry. I will get rid of the-" before Xin completes his sentence, Nen intervened and asked, "Get rid of the problem completely?!"
"Yes, completely," Xin answered in a solemn voice.
By this, Nen became sure that Xin was planning to burn down his younger sister, and the owner became sure that his restaurant would be in ashes soon.
Without any ado, Xin put on the fire on his left hand and headed near Natasha, intending to cure her cough. Listening to their conversation, the other customers of the restaurant started to tremble in fear. They were afraid that their turn may come next after the girl laid on the table.
Anyhow and at any cost, Nen wanted to save his sister, but due to excessive coughing and puking out blood, he didn't even have enough strength to raise his hands. Saving his sister was like a far more unachievable dream for him.
In the meantime, Xin set his left hand on fire. Letting the paper burn and catch flames. Just at the right moment when the flame rose up high, he mobilized a small portion of magiculus particle from his newly formed magic vessel and mixed it inside the flame.
Suddenly, the flames changed and became milky white in color. It was Nen's first time to see something like that.
Though he was a software engineer, he had read his part of chemistry, as far as he remembered, white flames can be produced by igniting Epsom salt with some fuels, and that too under special conditions and temperature.
But Xin created white flames without Epsom salt, just by using some roles of paper and a gas lighter. The other customers were also dazed by this phenomenon.
Before their eyes, someone changed the color of the flame without using any special chemical or instrument. Their amazement was thrown to a different level when the flame changed again, and this time its color was blue.
Unaware of magiculus manipulation, some assumed that Xin somehow achieved complete combustion and got flames with max heat. But their high school science was completely shattered when the flame changed again, and this time its color was violet.
He raised his hand high up in the air and let the flame rise even higher. This time only the intensity of the flame increased, and no change in color.
Half a minute later, Xin closed his eyes and started to manipulate magiculus flowing through his body. He was sending more and more magiculus particles into the fire as a source to feed upon.
Slowly the fire on his hand started to come out and levitate above his hairs. Nen was flabbergasted at the sight of this. Not only Nen but the others were also dumbfounded by this phenomenon. They had no idea what was going on there, but they were sure of one thing now that kid was not simple as he seems.
Nen wanted to see more, what happened next, and what Xin planned to do with his sister, but due to excessive blood loss, his vision became blurry. He was trying his best to stay awake and see the things happening before his eyes, but to his dismay, his body couldn't endure it anymore, and he fainted in a sitting position.
