9 Chapter 9: Not again

Bell woke up anxious and happy, he will study his grimoire today. Bell quickly took the book and began to read it.

Suddenly he heard a weird sound, and the atmosphere change, like silent and chaotic at the same time...

???: "the trigger is within you..."

Bell was surprised by this voice, he didn't respond, but the voice continued.

???: "What's magic for?"

Bell was overwhelmed by the question, and he felt like his mind blow and his inner self started to answer.

Bell: "A medium to complete me, confront my weaknesses, and save people in need"

???: "What sort of thing is magic?"

Bell: "A part of myself that remains hidden inside, that will make me powerful than anyone, and help me to be ready to act If it's needed..."

???: "what do you want to get with magic?"

Images of his old world appeared, the feeling that he is special, the heroes of the tales that his grandpa told him started to appear in his thoughts, the legendary battles they fought, the years of physical training he has been through, and the years in which he spent a lot of time learning magic and being beaten by his grandpa's lightning... suddenly his mind focused on the image of his grandpa.

He saw the old man, he looked normal but suddenly a burst of aura came from him, his eyes turned a deep blue and a spark came out of them. After the eyes, the body began to spark and a bolt of majestic lightning came from the skies and impacted his grandpa... he was covered by lightning...

He felt overwhelmed, his grandpas clothe changed to a robe and a crown was on his head, he looked glorious and powerful. He then went through an epiphany, he wanted to be like him. He wanted to look heroic, powerful, and glorious, that just with his presence people feel safe and the bad guys or monsters feel afraid. Then an answer came from his mind.

Bell: "I want to be like my grandpa, look heroic, strong, powerful, to be feared by the evils, and to make those in need feel safe, I want to be a hero like him..."

???: that's all?

Bell: "no... I want to surpass him and to surpass every hero that existed, I need it, to finishes what my grandpa couldn't..."

The atmosphere relaxed and Bell woke up, he was lying on the floor of his room, the book in his hand now is empty, all the pages in blank. He left immediately and looked for his grandpa.

Zeus was reading a book in the living room when Bell told him his experience and what happened after reading the grimoire, then he asked for an update of his status. Zeus nodded gladly, he could felt the happiness emanating from his grandson.

Zeus was happy, Bell got a magic spell. Although there isn't a description of it, at least there are two chants.

Zeus: "You got new magic, and it seems that the spell has two short chants, <Rage, wrath of heaven> and <Distel>, that factor is really useful. On the other hand, there is no description of it, so you have to use and discover it by yourself, come on... let's go outside"

Walking outside the house Bell took distance from his grandpa just in case. Then he focused and started to chant.

Bell: "Rage, wrath of heaven"

Suddenly sparks grow from Bell's body, a blue sparking aura wrapped him, his eyes had lightnings flowing through his iris. Bell felt powerful as if his body was boosted up.

Zeus: "how do you feel? you look amazing"

Bell: "Great, I have never felt this powerful, like if I can achieve everything..."

Zeus: "hmm try running and then hit that tree" - Zeus said while pointing a big tree at like 100 meters away"

Bell nodded and suddenly a burst occurred where he was standing, in the next two seconds the tree was cut in two by an explosion. Bell looked at what he did and was surprised, in only two seconds he ran through almost 100 meters and destroyed a big tree with a punch.

Zeus: "haha you did it amazing, it seem that your spell is a body enhancement with lightning nature, try the other chant, let's see what happen"

Bell nodded and started his chant.

Bell: "Distel"

Suddenly a lightning bolt was created in Bell's hand.

Bell: "wooooow" Bell felt the impulse of throwing it

The lightning flew away to an empty space that Bell aimed. A little explosion occurred at the moment of the impact. Bell was surprised, it was weak compared to what he imagined. The dust was released and sparks flowed through the impact area.

Bell: "it seems weak.. what a shame..." he said while putting on a weird face, trying to hide his sadness.

Zeus: "Don't worry boy, is still useful.."

Bell: "It seems that I won't ever return you the beaten with lightnings that you gave me..." -he said with a mocking smile and eyes that tried to show sadness

Zeus: "haha not in a million years boy, I'm the owner of the lightning, although your spell has 1000 times power, I won't even feel a spark"

Bell: "What? so I'm this spell make me the owner of the lightning too?"

Zeus: "Don't get confused Bell, I'm a god and my magic is my arcanum, you get your magic through my Falna and your potential... although our magics are similar, they have different bases... I control lightning and I do whatever I want with it.. you enhance your body with it and you can throw it... "

Bell looked confuse and sad about the fact that he can't control lightning as his grandpa

Zeus: "hmm although, your magic remembers me the blessings of the spirits to heroes in the ancient times... if my theory is correct, maybe through training you could improve your control and even evolution your magic... Look, maybe you can do this ..."

A loud -ZaapP- was heard, and Zeus' hand was holding a Lightning, but a special one, it looked like a sword, but a blue shining one with little lightning flowing around it. Then he did a short swing and an even louder -ZaapP- was heard, a storm of lightning was expulsed from the swing of the sword and devastated the clear where they were.

Bell was stunned, his soul was burning from excitement and fear. He wished that his training allow him to do that, but he also felt fear, an evolution like that could be impossible.
