Limitless potential (Shadow in the Eminence Male reader story)

Chapter 6. Misunderstanding ''She is not my girlfriend''

Y/n: MHM! FOURTY!

Currently, Y/n was doing handstand pushups.

Y/n: ^That crazy man was right. The gravity makes this exercise more difficult. I have to worry about my balance as well as the direction of my force, unlike a normal pushup. It's weird, nobody exercises in such a weird way.

Y/n fell forward and looked to the sky.

Y/n: Magic is my weakness. I can't control it all too well, especially these past few days.

Y/n imbued his fist with magic.

Y/n: It takes a lot more effort, And my arm.

Y/n rolled up his sleeves small black dots and a red vein travelled across his forearm.

Y/n: This is really troublesome, do I have a rash?

Alexia: What are you talking about?

Y/n: Nothing.

Y/n quickly hid his arm.

Alexia: That looks bad, why don't you have a doctor check it?

Y/n: And risk being kicked out of the tournament, no thanks. I need to beat your sister, she thinks she's better than me and I need to prove her wrong.

Alexia: *Sigh* You both have too much pride.

Y/n: You are more alike than you think.

Alexia: How so?

Y/n: You both can't control your temper and look for attention.

Alexia: E-Excuse me! I do not look for attention!

Y/n: You do, and look you are already going haywire. That's what I call an ill-tempered girl.

Alexia: Tch how is my sister ill-tempered?

Y/n: Hmm It's one of those things I just know.

Alexia: You just know?

Y/n: Yep, well once I beat her you'll see what I mean. Anyway, moving on, what took you so long? You know I can't stay out too late.

Alexia: I have to be present with my father while watching the fights.

Y/n: Hmm why is that?

Alexia: To show off the royal family, grown-up stuff.

Y/n: Huh I see. Anyway, let's begin, with a little spar.

Alexia: Can I use magic?

Y/n: Sure but remember what I taught you.

Alexia: Yeah yeah I know.

Y/n: We'll see if you really do know in a few moments.

The two drew their swords and stood at a distance from each other.

Y/n: Well I guess you kind of know because that was poor.

Alexia: HAH..HAH.. SHUT UP! It's my second day doing this!

Y/n: Oh yeah I forgot about that.

Alexia: And why did you go so hard!?

Y/n: Hmmm.

Y/n looked to his left arm which had his sword.

His arm was trembling ever so slightly.

Alexia: Y/n? Y/n! Y/N!

Y/n: Uh, yeah sorry about that I'm struggling to control my power.

Y/n said, still looking at his trembling arm.
