BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69: Touch
But Alex didn\'t intend to stay still while receiving this attack, so Alex made a small pillar below his feet and climbed this pillar up to the height of the wall, giving Bobby vision, who was still confused where this other wall of ice came from.
On Alex\'s right hand, another blue magic circle appeared as he pointed at Bobby.
From this magic circle a large dragon emerged and started flying towards Bobby while letting out a loud roar through its mouth, making the temperature even lower to the point that even the pool began to freeze for being close and some closer students felt shivers. .
Bobby looked at that big ice dragon flying towards him and froze.
His mind went blank, not knowing where this dragon came from and what he could do to deal with it, as his powers were still going towards the wall that Alex made.
Bobby thought he was the only one who could control ice, but this ice dragon wasn\'t under his control...
In desperation, Bobby looked around and saw that behind the dragon was a person, Alex, who was almost covered in a glowing blue circle apparently controlling the dragon!
Alex only intended to let the dragon inflict a minor wound on Bobby before cancelling, but looking to Bobby\'s side, Alex saw Anna with a startled expression, which made his heart stop for a second before he raised his hand and commanded the dragon to fly to the sky.
That dragon was one of the most powerful spells he learned when he bought [Gray Fullbuster Ice Magic] a few minutes ago. Luckily the package also came with Gray\'s knowledge of Ice Magic, and luckily without the downside of the boy\'s habit of taking his clothes off.
Gray had the strength very close to an S-Class Mage in Fairy Tail, but because he wasn\'t mature enough, he just had to be content as an ordinary Mage.
But in Alex\'s hands, that magic blossomed beautifully.
Seeing that Bobby was no longer attacking, Alex controlled the ice dragon to land calmly next to where they were, and canceled the magic circle, making the dragon stop moving and just stand like an ice statue, just like the wall of ice. ice he made to defend himself against Bobby.
Since Alex didn\'t want the others to get cold, he used the magic circle to absorb the ice from the pillar and ice wall, and to the onlookers\' surprise, even the ice that Bobby used to attack was also absorbed by the magic circle. from Alex.
Seeing how surreal this was, everyone was shocked.
Even Professor Xavier and Logan who were calmer were surprised as they looked at Alex.
The first person to react was Anna, who ran to Alex to check if he was hurt.
"Is everything okay, Alex?" She looked over his body looking for any injuries, but apart from a few small snowflakes that got on his clothes, Alex was perfectly fine.
Alex saw Anna\'s concern and had an idea. This time, a small magic circle appeared in his left hand, causing a thin layer of ice to appear in his right hand, which he used to poke Anna\'s forehead.
Feeling the icy touch on her forehead, and seeing that Alex was perfectly fine, Anna was speechless as an indescribable feeling surged through her.
She noticed that Alex was careful not to touch her directly, which meant that Alex already knew about her powers, but the affection that Alex had for her this whole time, even if he already knew about it, made Anna stay very happy.
And thinking about the sensation of the touch on the forehead, although it felt a little cold, the sensation was the same as if his hand had touched it, since the layer of ice was very thin.
Shocked, she looked at his left hand which was controlling a beautiful glowing blue circle and his right hand which was covered in a thin layer of ice and looked at him doubtfully.
Alex caught Anna\'s gaze and smiled at her as he extended his right hand towards her.
Anna was a little afraid to take Alex\'s hand, but seeing his cute and confident smile, Alex couldn\'t resist and gave his palm a light touch.
Seeing that he was perfectly fine, Anna was bolder and placed her hand fully in his palm, perfectly feeling his big fingers holding her small and delicate hand as if it were a dream.
Ignoring the temperature of his hand which was a little cold, otherwise she felt all the sensations of holding a real person\'s hand!
Of course, this layer of ice was so thin that it took Alex a lot of control to keep it active. Gray didn\'t even have such fine control, to the point that every now and then Anna\'s skin touched Alex\'s skin, which caused her powerful power to enter his mental defense and destroy everything for a split second, but he soon it made ice to cover the place the hides had touched and his mind began the process of repairing the traps.
If it was anyone else, that simple fraction of a second of touch would be enough to completely knock them out, but because of Occlumency, Alex was able to handle it just fine.
Seeing that Alex was using the ice to hold Anna\'s hand in a way he never imagined he could, Bobby became dizzy and fainted with rage.
If he had known it was possible to do this, he would have created ice gloves a long time ago and used it to win over Anna!
Unfortunately, he didn\'t know that his control over the ice was miles away from what was needed to get close to what Alex was doing.
If he just made a thick layer of ice Anna wouldn\'t feel a thing, and it would just feel uncomfortable to touch it, as it would freeze her hand. So wouldn\'t it be better to wear leather gloves?
But neither Alex nor Anna thought about him, while Anna patted Alex\'s hand like a child with a new toy, Alex just looked at her with a smile.
Seeing the two\'s reaction as if there was no one around, the other people were a little embarrassed until they heard a loud noise of an exhaust coming on.
Recognizing the sound of Bee\'s exhaust, Alex snapped back to reality and looked around in embarrassment.
Especially when he saw Logan looking at him with the frown that made him feel like a young man who\'d come to meet his father-in-law.
\'Oops…\' Alex regretted letting himself be carried away by the moment. He could have done it in the car when he went for a walk with Anna, but now that Logan saw it he just sighed and accepted his fate.
