Day turns to night, the first-year Silk students prefer to sleep for rest. Yesterday's main test had taken up a lot of their energy and magic, sleep being one of the most effective recovery methods.
It was different with Aiden. His level had risen to level 2, but he didn't know how his improvement in the two-magic synchronization was going to be yet.
He removed the beast dimension ring and channeled his fire magic into the sea-blue gem, slowly the connection was made and another panel appeared that Aiden hadn't seen lately —he was busy looking for the gold plate.
[Two-magic synchronization begins]
[Warning! The process of two magic synchronizations can be varied. Differences in the abilities of the Tamer and the Beast are affected]
[Two-Magic Synchronization progress:]
[5,9%]
Magic synchronization begins by combining two different kinds of magic, Aiden's magic and Aurora's magic.
The synchronization was done so that the two magics can merge and have a unity. That way, Aiden could channel enough of his magic energy to supply Aurora.
The aura of magic radiated in his room, becoming dense and strong. Aiden's magic was fairly weak, but not Aurora's. The Ice Dragon's power could not be compared to human strength.
Aiden's body relaxed, letting the process of the two magics synchronizing bring the two different magics into one.
Helen hadn't come to visit, and Aiden had locked the door and closed the curtains. No one would know that Aiden was performing two-magic synchronization.
Aiden's consciousness shifted from his body into the beast dimension. There, he saw a different environment.
Ice palaces and halls were created and towering, Aurora was on the throne and immediately opened her eyes at Aiden's presence.
"How is it, Aiden? Do you realize the difference in our powers?" asked Aurora, speaking in the form of an ice dragon.
"I do realize it. The power of every magic spell I use increases," Aiden replied.
"I wouldn't have gotten away so easily without your help," said Aiden.
"I already helped you. Now, it's your turn to help me," Aurora replied.
The ice dragon flew from the ice throne and hovered in a circle around Aiden, hoping to see the ice elemental gem she needed.
Aiden was silent when Aurora said that, not knowing what to say since he hadn't found the gem Aurora wanted.
"Why? Where's my gem?" Aurora asked.
"I haven't gotten it yet," Aiden explained.
"WHAT?!" shouted Aurora, the ice dragon instantly roared at Aiden, a loud roar accompanied by a strong magical pressure.
The man felt a real threat from Aurora, the ice dragon seemingly impatient to get her hands on the gem she wanted. However, finding a gem from a mixed element like the ice element was not easy.
"I did you a favor and this is how you thank me, Aiden?!" snapped Aurora.
Aurora swung her dragon tail at Aiden, Aiden gasped at the sight. But Aiden's life was saved because there was a spherical shield protecting Aiden's soul.
That made Aiden unable to be hurt no matter how strong Aurora was in the beast dimension. That made Aurora even more pissed off and started freezing the entire dimension with her power.
'What a terrible power.Will I be able to withstand this power in the future?" Aiden asked.
Ice flowers began to creep up and freeze Aiden's protective sphere. Aiden felt a sense of danger in himself, he immediately persuaded Aurora not to act rashly.
"Listen, Aurora. You won't gain anything by killing me! If you come out, the whole academy will catch you and torture you," Aiden explained.
"I don't care. I need my gem!" Aurora insisted.
"Tsk!"
'This is tough.She won't soften until she gets what she wants,' Aiden explained.
'Think about it, Aiden.Ice elemental gems are hard to find, but maybe she'll soften if I hand her a water or wind elemental gem,' Aiden pointed out.
'That's because the ice element is formed from the fusion of two different elements, water and wind,' Aiden said.
"Tomorrow!" declared Aiden, casting his fire magic to thaw his frozen orb, "I'll give you the gem tomorrow!"
ROARR!
Aurora roared again and flew back to her icy throne. The entire dimensional area began to thaw and Aurora looked exhausted.
"I'll wait for you tomorrow. If you're not there, I'll freeze the entire academy and you inside it!" Aurora declared.
In an instant, Aiden's consciousness returned to his body and the two-magic synchronization ended.
Time passed four hours in the real world, whereas Aiden and Aurora had only talked for a few minutes in the beast dimension.
[Two-magic synchronization begins]

[Progres Two-Magic Synchronization:]
[5,9% -> 9,2%]
'That's terrible, luckily I was able to convince her,' Aiden replied.
He looked ahead, the two-magic synchronization had only gained a few percent over four hours. Aiden had synchronized several times but the amount did not reach the current 10%.
Aiden realized that the difference in strength between them was the main problem with the slow synchronization.
Aiden needed to quickly increase his level and abilities to keep up with Aurora.
However, the most important thing for him was to find a water or wind elemental gem. He couldn't just ask the Academy for one, since Aiden was still an early student.
He remembered Helen, the woman he had helped before. Helen was a water-element mage, so it was possible that her gem hadn't been used yet so Aiden could ask for it.
But it was unethical to ask Helen for something, and Aiden was reluctant to do so. His mind was completely at a loss.
"Allana?" asked Aiden, remembering his mentor's name.
"Right! She can definitely help me," said Aiden, full of confidence, 'After all, she lost a bet and promised to be my servant for a year.'
"Maybe I can get a water or wind elemental gem from her."
