Caelum jumped directly into the flames, fully expecting the layer of water surrounding his body to evaporate instantly.
However, nothing happened.
The blazing crimson flames swirled around him violently, yet the moisture covering his body remained completely unaffected.
"Anasta–!" Before he could even finish shouting her name, a sudden pop echoed within the flames as a small fire chicken materialized out of nowhere.
Caelum instinctively caught the creature with ease.
"Cauk?"
"?"
Both of them stared at each other in mutual confusion.
The tiny fire chicken tilted its head strangely, clearly sensing that the person holding it was not its contractor, while Caelum himself wondered why Anastasia had summoned an actual bird instead of the fluffy spirit balls most students had been getting so far.
Then suddenly, a streak of fire erupted from the little chicken's body.
