6 Chapter 6: Feelings

On the arena.

"What is happenning?", one student asked on the grandstand.

"These two familiars fell from the sky and are fighting now.", another explained as didn't looked away from the battle.

"Where the black hair is?", Felix was only maintaining the other familiar on the stage.

"Charles don't fight.", Cecilia spoke to the lightning wolf.

Sawing this from afar were the three girls that left the study session. They were smiling uppon the other girl disgrace. But suddenly another explosion of smoke happened on the battlefield.

"This is a bad way of landing, black hair.", the dragon said.

"Call me by my name, Felix, please.", Peter raised from the smoke and stared at both familiars.

Felix was just a little worn out while Charles was heavily injured.

"I just said to keep him on the battlefield."

"It's just that he comes with too much will.", the dragon explained. "Switch.", he spoke as he went to his master.

"This dragon.", he looked to the lightning wolf. "Hi."

"Shut up.", it responded.

"Good, we can talk then. Why are you mad?"

"Mad?", the wolf ran and jumped to bite Peter.

"Shield.", the familiar hit invisible wall. "Lets talk friendly."

"Who are you and why are you interested in all of this?"

"My name is Peter and I'm helping your master."

"That girl isn't my master."

"Okay. Tell me more then.", Peter didn't understand the situation.

"I woke up on a facility without my master near by but they insisted that I'm that girl's familiar just because she can talk to me as you can."

"You were cloned into another familiars body.", Peter graspped what happened. "Have you heard about the Reborn Project?"

"When a familiar is killed to be changed? Yes."

"A familiar was made after your DNA and you were cloned using its body."

"I'm dead then? Were is my master? Are we both dead?"

"I don't know. I only know that Cecilia. That girl over there wants her familiar to be back to her and his name was Charles."

"They killed her familiar trying to making him equal to me?"

"Yes."

"That's why she suffered so much and why we can communicate. I'm taking another one's life."

"What you wish to do?"

"Do you have a suggestion?"

"Yes, I do have three. First, you as you are now become her familiar. Second, I reverse your time and mind, making your primal instincts bonding to her as a puppy. Third, I reverse your mind and Charles comes back."

"Call her, please, I don't want to anyone know about this except for her."

"Okay.", Peter left to the battlefield side and extended his hand to Cecilia. "He wants to talk."

"Okay.", she replied with fear.

"It's okay he won't hurt you anymore.", he pulled her and both walked toward the lightning wolf.

"How can you speak with him?"

"Basic incantation of translation.", he lied.

"Teach me after.", he gulped with her request. "Charles."

"I'm not Charles, girl."

"What he is talking about?", she looked to Peter.

"Listen to him."

"I'm the familiar from the DNA used to enhance your familiar. The boy have ways to amend this situation."

"Amend? There's nothing to amend. You're good with me again, aren't you?", she asked.

"Listen to me, Cecilia. He isn't Charles and that's the truth. He was cloned into Charles body."

"No, no, no...", she feel on her knees crying.

"I have some ways to you not lost your familiar.", he looked at her state. "First was to he become your familiar as it is but seems impossible for his stubbornness. Second is to reverse him into a puppy to restart the bonding. And third is to rewind his mind to bring Charles back."

"I can't chose. I want Charles back but I don't want to erase him."

"You have a good heart, girl. Use the third, boy.", the wolf said.

"Use the second. Charles is already dead and I won't kill you.", she said it.

"Neither of you are truthful with your wishes, aren't you? I'll go with the fourth one then.", a bright light blinded everyone on the arena and Peter make it to do so. "Divide. Restore. Rewind. Mind. Rewind. Time.", the light vanished and on her arms were two puppies of the lightning wolfs. A little far from her was Peter unconcious on the floor.

"Master used advanced magic without knowing the consequences.", Ophichus said to Odin.

"But it was fated to fail and didn't.", the crow said.

"Master... good...", Luke bright on his pocket and Peter started to wake.

"Thank you, little one but you can rest now.", he petted the bird head with a finger.

"Master, you need to stop using Rewind Rune as you wish.", the snake said. "Rewind is a powerful magic and can left sequels."

"Thank you for the late advise.", he lift up and went to Cecilia. "This one is Charles.", he pointed the one with black fur and white stripes. "The other you need to name it yet."

"Müller."

"That's a good name.", Peter smiled. "I need to rest now, excuse me.", he started leaving.

"Thank you, Pete.", she said loudly and he raised a hand as he left.

"Master... needs to... rest?", Luke started to talk more and more.

"Yes, a lot."

"Rest... a lot.", the little guy was growing fastly.

"Hey, Ophichus."

"What is, master?"

"You used a greater Rewind to come back a day, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"How much energy that was compared with what I did today?"

"Ten years."

"There is a way to store it?"

"No, why?"

"Having so much power would make life meaningless but what would make you achieve it at least once?"

"Regret."

"Do you still have it?"

"Yes."

"Did you regret using this power on our first met?"

"Never."

"Why?"

"I have you, a friend and a little brother now. This wasn't on my life before."

"I'm glad that you appeared on my life too. Odin was a surprise. At first glance he was like a madman but he know when too settle down. Luke is so innocent that I don't know how he will grow in this world."

"If you don't want him to fight we will always be here master."

"I'm quiet but I'm here as well, master.", Odin said.

"Looking to what the rich wizards did with their familiars is truly awful but I'll have strength enough to stop all of this madness. But till there I need your help and when there you'll have me."

"Luke... too."

"Of course, you too."

Peter fell asleep and only wake with knocks on the door. He looked at his watch was about the study session and Cecilia did another deposit but this time was three hundred credits.

"The door is unlocked.", he said and they entered with their familiars and food. "Good. Here.", he passed one notebook to each. "I made some self study and there are the incantations you would be better with."

"Lightning and Wolf tribe?", Cecilia said.

"Fire and Dragon Tongue?", Elles said.

"Yes. It is based on your familiar and will probably be the best option till you be experts on the ones I write down you must forget any other incantations."

"But the teacher is passing fire based ones.", the wolf girl said.

"I know but did you check the calendar?", he said and she nodded denying. "There isn't evaluations for incantations. The only evaluation is..."

"Group combat.", the dragon girl completed.

"That's right."

"What this means?", Cecilia was lost.

"No matter if your grades are bad or if your familiar is unabled.", Peter said.

"If you can fight and are strong that what counts.", Ellen completed.

"But and the groups itselfs?"

"It's a pseudo group. The test is about connect to another people and maybe fighting together but this is almost ending in failure. What brings the carried upperclassmans or how they are called the eternal second years."

"A strong wizard could easily make a good evaluation for the entire party and everyone pass to the next year.", Ellen said.

"Can I?", Peter asked pointing to one puppy.

"Oh, sure."

"I wished I had another cute familiar.", he said picking Müller. "Luke are too young to fight and I don't know if he'll fight."

"Of course, he'll fight as long as you want it this will reflect on his will.", Ellen explained.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you this, master.", Ophichus said.

"This good for nothing snake.", he thought.

"Maybe you can find a familiar on the market.", Cecilia told.

"Market?", Peter said.

"A lot of newbies and upperclassman trade their familiars for credits and you can bought them for some amount as well.", the wolf girl said and he became irritated with the actions of the others wizards.

"I'll pass by tomorrow then. Want to come together, you two?"

"No, thanks.", Ellen said. "The owners normally offer credits as soon as they see familiars."

"I'd like to but I need to take care of them.", she pointed Charles and his brother.

"I understand. I'll go alone."
