Valerion nodded, and threw one paper ball; Adrien drew his arc - a fireball flew out to destroy the ball. Without waiting for Adrien to catch his breath, Valerion tossed the second ball upwards; it disappeared in mid-air - Adrien saw it reappear behind his back with the tail of his eye; he drew an arc with a twist of his torso, and a second fireball turned the paper ball into ashes. In the meanwhile, Valerion had enchanted two more balls; they flew in a spiral around Adrien, then approached him from opposite sides. Adrien spun a full circle, and a wall of fire flashed around him - for just an instant, which turned out to be more than enough. He turned towards Valerion:

"How am I doing?".

"Great".
