Professor Nina gave him an unimpressed look before saying, "I'm not a science teacher, so I don't know if I can explain it clearly enough for you to understand."

"But let's say you have a ten meters large balloon filled with water. If you nick it and it explodes, the sound of explosion would be loud and the water inside would want to flow down and outwards, right? If you are standing close enough, the water pressure might even push you back."

"Now let's suppose you somehow compress that water in a just one-meter large balloon. The water quantity is same and balloon size is several times smaller than the previous one, but if you nick it now and it explodes, be it sound of explosion or the speed of water, both would be many times more. If the first explosion had pushed you just one step back, the latter may push you five, ten, or more steps back. Um, so do you understand?"

Ben was silent for a moment and before nodding, "Yes, Professor. I understand." He then turned to look at Alice's fireball and said, "So, she is trying to apply that same principle on her fireball to make it more deadly."

"That's correct." Professor Nina nodded.

Swoosh!

It took Alice another few seconds before the fireball started to shrink. However, from her pale face and trembling body, it was evident she was barely holding herself together.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

As the fireball kept shrinking little by little, the air surrounding it turned violent.

When it was 75% of the original size, Luke and others started to feel faint pressure and heat radiating from it.

Luke's expression turned serious. He then glanced at Professor Nina and others and said, "You guys should step back a little more."

Professor Nina cast a worried glance at Alice and said, "Luke, how about you ask her to stop? It's… dangerous for her to continue."

Luke glanced at Alice and sighed. "It would be useless. She won't stop until she succeeds or…" He didn't finish the sentence and then said, "Don't worry, Professor. I'll make sure she is safe. Now, retreat a little so you guys don't get hurt in case something unexpected happens."

Professor Nina nodded and retreated with Lori and others. Among the group, only Kean was looking at the fireball with twinkling eyes. As a kid, he loved to see such flashy things.

After they retreated, Luke walked over to Alice and stood beside her, fully alert. If she lost control of it, he was prepared to take her away at the first moment possible.

Alice was completely focused on manipulating the fireball, so she didn't notice him. Of course, her not being on guard contributed quite a lot to this.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

After a while, the fireball's size was reduced to only 50% of the original, which was slightly bigger than the first fireball she conjured up. f(r)eenovelkiss

Right at that moment, Alice's face had turned completely white, as though she had lost all the blood while her hands and legs were trembling violently. She looked she wouldn't be able to hold on any second longer.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, the fireball showed signs of becoming unstable, which caused Luke to step toward her and put his arm around her waist. Alice raised her brows and looked at him, which made the fireball even more unstable.

Seeing this, Luke hurriedly shouted, "LET IT GO!"

Alice snapped out of her daze and gently pushed the fireball toward the wall.

Whoosh!

Luke wasted no time, picked her up in the princess carry and retreated at his top speed. Ben and others were already over fifty meters away from the wall.

The fireball slowly flew over to the ball and as soon as it collided against it, it started swelling. Within a moment, it had grown almost ten times larger and then,

BOOOOOM!!!

It exploded with a deafening boom.

Bang!

Luke was only ten meters away when a shockwave hit him and flung him away. The shockwave continued and swept Ben and the others off their feet and sent them tumbling back.

A few seconds later, every calmed down, and the dust settled to reveal the group sprawled on the ground.

Cough! Cough!

Shadow and Rio were the first to cough out the dust and some blood before standing up. Rio's eyes immediately widened and quickly searched for his wife and son, who were just a few meters away from him. His wife was protectively curled up around Kean and blood was flowing out of her mouth.

Crouching beside her, he patted her face and called out to her in a panic. "Lisa! Lisa, are you alright?"

Cough!

Hearing his voice, Lisa, his wife, opened her eyes and coughed out a mouthful of blood, some of which sprayed on Rio's face, but he was unphased. She then weakly said, "I'm… alright. See if Kean is injured?"

Rio nodded and hurriedly checked Kean. Apart from some paleness on his face and the fact that he was unconscious, he was uninjured.

Seeing this, Rio sighed in relief and thanked his lucky stars that he had learned the [Steel Body] skill and didn't wait for a better one to turn up.

Why?

Because right before the shockwave hit them, he had activated [Steel Body] which enhanced his defences multiple times and defended his wife and son with his body. If not… he shivered and didn't even dare to think about what the consequences have been otherwise.

'I have to try my best to become stronger so I can save them and also try to help Lisa become an evolver too. And if possible, Kean too.' He thought.

If they became evolvers, they wouldn't be in as much danger as they were now. He also understood why Luke put forth the condition that required him to fight and become an evolver if he wanted to follow him. After all, he alone couldn't ensure everyone's safety, no matter how strong he was.

Cough!

Lisa coughed out a mouthful of blood again, catching his attention. When he looked at her this time, he finally noticed a broken part of concrete was stabbed into her left side, right below her ribs, and a small amount of blood was constantly gushing out of her wound, painting half of her stomach red.

His face turned pale white when he saw this. Panicked, he wanted to pull out the piece of stone but stopped just before his hands touched it because if he pulled it out, she will lose more blood.

"L-Lisa, don't move and take soft breaths. I'm bringing Lori to heal you." He said, holding his tears back before moving, glancing around to find Lori.

Shadow had already helped Ben and Professor Nina up. Both were injured, but they were just minor injuries, not worth worrying about.

Rio rushed over to Lori, who was just standing up and helped her up. "Are you alright?" He asked, suppressing his panic, as it wouldn't look good if he asked for her help without even asking if she was alright or not.

"I'm… alright, mostly." Lori said, wincing in pain because her left legs was twisted from ankle unnaturally.

"Good. Can you—" Rio didn't notice her ankle and hurried to ask for her help but before he could say anything, Lori ran over to her daughter, limping as she did.

Julia was unconscious and her face was covered in blood from the injury on her forehead. Lori's heart almost stopped when she saw this. She hurriedly sat near her head, put it on her lap before placing her right hand over her forehead.

Under Rio's gaze, she used the second use of her healing skill. For a moment, Rio wanted to stop her because he didn't think just one use could heal his wife. But he didn't because that would be too inconsiderate of him. Besides, that would worsen their relationship, and maybe Lori would even refuse to help Lisa out of anger. He wasn't ready to take such a risk.

Fortunately, right after she used [Minor Healing] on Julia, her bleeding stopped and her eyes fluttered open.

"Are you alright, my baby girl? Don't move. Let me heal you better," Lori said with tears in her eyes and prepared to use her skill for the third time.

Seeing this, Rio's eyes widened in horror and he shouted out, "NOOOO! DON'T DO IT!"
