Strongest Mage with the Lust system

"You should try to conjure as many fireballs as you can and try controlling them simultaneously to improve quickly", Mina advised.

"Mhm...Yeah, I should try this." Max nodded. He also thought of it previously. He then conjured two fireballs around him; Two was his limit for now. It wasn't that he couldn't conjure more, but he won't be able to control more than two properly.

"Let's try again then." Mina smiled slightly as she put some distance between them. After seeing his determination, she forgot that she wanted to make him suffer and started genuinely helping him train.

...

...

After fifteen days...

"Knock! Knock!" Someone knocked on Max's door.

It was early morning and Max and Lilly were still sleeping while hugging each other. Max woke up after hearing it. He gently pushed Lilly aside and got out of the bed and walked up to the door and opened while yawning.

"Oh Mina, Why are you here so early? It's not even afternoon yet and why are you in training outfit." Max asked as he invited her inside but Mina shook her head.

"it's not necessary. I've to go to meet my parents in Neim city because my mother is sick so I won't be able to return until after you set out for Academy therefore I'm here for our promised last fight. Come to the training room in twenty minutes if you want to fight." She didn't gave him any time to respond and walked toward the training hall.

Max smiled wryly and shook his head. He now knew her personality very well after sparring with her for more than two weeks continuously. Even though she is his step mother but he didn't treat her as such and called her by her name. Initially she had many misgivings about him because of the illicit relationship between him and her daughter in law but after spending some time with him, she stopped being bothered by it and started treated him as her friend.

After fighting for a few weeks with her, Max became more efficient in using his mana and his only spell fireball. Previously he had to focus and raise his hand or something similar to conjure up even a ten point fireball not to mention bigger ones.

But now he could conjure ten and twenty mana point fireballs without batting even an eye and now he can control five ten point fireball or three twenty point ones simultaneously with ease. It increased his firepower tremendously compared to before and he could now use his agility to dodge run at full speed while keep full control over his body and without forcing himself like before but even with these improvements, he still couldn't defeat her even ones. Let alone defeating her, he couldn't even land a hit on her.

That's why he told her that he will definitely defeat her before heading out for the Academy. This challenge was accepted by her with a confident smile. This was the reason why she came to invite him for their last fight before she went to her parents'.

Max didn't delay and after doing the morning activities, he quickly went to the training hall.

***

...Training hall, Private training room...

Max and Mina stood fifteen meters apart, staring at each other.

"Are you ready for your defeat?" Max asked with a smile.

Mina shook her head and said "Stop living in fantasy. I admit that you've improved very much over past few days but it still isn't enough to defeat me."

"Let's see if you can say the same after the fight." Max smirked. After fighting her so many times, he thought he knew the extent of her strength. That's why he was being so confident because, he can use some tricks to defeat her.

"Oh, If you are so confident, why don't we bet on it." Mina suggested.

"Mm good idea but I don't think I've anything of value to bet?" Max told her, slightly confused by her suggestion. He was sure that she has everything she needs being the woman of his father and Max didn't have anything of value with him which might attract her.

"Mm, How about if I win I can ask you of one thing which you can't refuse and if you win you can do the same?" She said after pondering for a moment.

"Anything? And you would have to do it no matter what?" Max asked after hearing her suggestion with a sly smile on his lips.

Seeing him smile like that, she felt shivers down her spine thinking that he might ask for something inappropriate but after thinking of something, she said "Yes anything except asking to kill oneself. So do you accept?"

"Okay, let's do this then. Shall we start now?" Max accepted the bet and asked as five small fireballs appeared around him out of nowhere.

"Let's begin then." Mina nodded and summoned five golems right from the start. After seeing this he knew that she was serious now because until now she hadn't summoned five golem from the get go.

Therefore he raised his guard and stepped back and launched five fireball at the golem in the middle from different angles.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five fireball pierced the air and landed on the targeted golem in blink of an eye.

The golem reacted late and and could only raise its arms to protect its head and blocked two fireballs. Although these fireballs only had ten points of mana but they could still took a chunk off of the golem and she had to waste her mana to repair that. Remaining three fireballs struck at the legs and a finger deep cracks appeared on them which hinder its speed while the rest of the golems charged at him.

"Hahaha, come and get destroyed." Max laughed and conjured a comparatively big fireball as he back away to put more distance between them. Unlike before, he also planned to use his mana without limiting himself to win. That's why he used hundred mana points. From his calculations, his seventy point ones can now blow head of one golem with ease let alone one hundred but he still used 100 mana points.
