Playing with Fire [Invite]

Well if they put it that way... That would explain why it didn't hurt at all, seeing how his hands were conduits for the flame rather than being actually on fire. Now that he mentioned it, Ollo did have to admit that sounded much cooler. Slowly, his eyes started to widen as he finally gained the courage to move his hands. And so the pink flames among them also followed harmlessly. Out of curiosity he would touch one to his bare chest and even then it didn't hurt. Although it was vaguely warm and tickled his skin, there was no pain and no mark left when he lifted it from his body. "That is really neat," he said as a fanged smile began to appear on his face. He began to twist his body around, trying to get a better look at his flaming fists, before he was reminded about what he had to do.

Now that he was beginning to understand magic a lot more, it became a lot easier for him to wield it. Although the magic struggled against him at first, it now seemed to flow a lot more smoothly if he thought of it as energy and alive rather than something to be forced. Still, that didn't particularly change the fact that he didn't want to hurt Sing if he had to. However, seeing as they had inflated their hand like a balloon to reduce the amount of damage that they would take, Ollo did feel a little bit better about about all of this seeing as it wasn't connected to their body, although it didn't make him feel any better. "Ok," he said finally relenting. "I'm so sorry if this hurts." He said, as he would take a deep breath.

Letting out a kiai to boost his morale, Ollo would then throw a series of punches towards the glove-bag thing with all six of his arms. Instantly the punching bag would cave in, leaving scorch marks wherever it hit. His body seemed to fall into action as his muscles remembered all the training he had with his old teachers. In a sense this was no different than that, aside from his hands begin on fire now. In fact, it seemed as if the fire would bolster his strength, making it a lot easier to take his opponents down. Within mere moments though, the flames would eventually ebb out and once they had, Ollo would stop his barrage. Wiping a bead of sweat from the top of his head, he would turn back towards Sing. "Is that good?"

With the punches all complete, Ollo would wipe the sweat off his brow with his now extinguished hand. It felt good finally being able to do something like, as if he was letting out months of pent out frustration out. Still, he would cast a concerned glance towards Sing just to make sure that they were alright. Fortunately they didn't seem particularly in pain despite the fact that he was just beating up their hand. Well, if they really didn't mind. At the compliments, Ollo stood up tall, placing his scaled hands on his hips. "Thank you. My teacher taught me how to fight so that I can help protect the people I love. He said that I was really strong even though I can't really use ki that well." 

Although Sing had told him to focus upon his fire magic, there was another part of Ollo that wanted to try more. He had felt the same when Nero had showed him how to use telepathy, eventually working on his telepathic skills until he was capable of projecting images along with mental message and making it so he could contact anyone from the entire planet. Although his fire magic was simple, he couldn't help but want to achieve more. "I want to try the enchanting or the material thing again. Maybe that now I know how to do this I could try all of that again!" Now that Sing knew how his magic work, maybe they could explain how to do all those interesting tricks seeing as they knew the intricates of his magic now. By now his inability to use ki was now a faraway thought and no longer bothered him as much, seeing as he could now see the versatility of using magic. Maybe it was a good thing that he couldn't use ki after all!

Ollo was pleasantly surprised by this change. He honestly didn't expect Sing to let him progress like this, especially when the teachers back at home typically forced him to master the skills he had now before he was able to focus on what he was weaker at. That was what happened when he tried to use ki back at home at least, so the fact that he had the ability to try the enchantment again was an exciting prospect. With plenty more sticks to choose from, Ollo would grab one of the more thicker branches, in hopes that perhaps it could withstand the energy he would try to infuse into it and believing that wooden splinters would be less painful than attempting and failing on rocks.

Despite Sing's warning that this would probably be difficult, Ollo ignored their advice, immediately trying to once again direct the warmth within him into the branch rather excitedly. As if his magic was reflected his insistence, the thick branch immediately burst into pink flames. "Maybe you're right," Ollo said sheepishly as he took another thick branch, this time taking his time to listen to their advice. Maybe his urgency to master this magic more quicker was what caused the flames to "leak" out and set the branch ablaze. Well, at the very least it didn't explode in his face like they warned it could. 

"I think I got it now." This time he would take a bit more care when it came to pouring the magic within the branch, slowly allowing the magic to flow through his body as if it was a conduit and into the branch, trying to take his time with it. Of course, seeing as he was still new to controlling his magic, it was extremely difficult as it threatened to spill out. It was as if he was trying to control the pressure of a hose without the switch. Maybe a quick burst of it would be enough. Taking a deep breath, he would allow the magic to flow into the branch quickly before cutting it off. Whilst one side of the branch quickly erupted into flames like before, Ollo soon realized it wasn't burning. The edge was still as brown as ever although the tip was slightly charred black, although that char didn't spread to the rest of the branch That was... a start. "Is this better?" He asked, holding it out for the demon to see.
