13 Can I Use Magic Again In Modern World ?
Backyard of Neslete Household
" It's not working.... "
i wonder what time it is ? ( Checked his watch )
" it's already this late ? "
Time - Around 2:24 Am
I been practicing here, trying to control flow of spiritual energy.. no success so far. A Human's body isn't complicated as monster's body so it should have been easy for me to control spiritual energy, there is something interfering. i can feel spiritual energy flowing inside me, it's so close yet so far.. something like a door i just need to open it but i don't have key
' Master, you need to get some rest.. '
here comes shera.. ( Albert sneaked out from his room, he didn't wanted anyone to disturb him.. and there also.. )
" Don't Worry about it.. i am fine " if i am able to use magic even 1% of older form.. i woul...
' But Master, you been here sitting still for more than 4 hour... i can't allow you to indanger your health '
" Hey...! how did you know i am been here more than 4 hour ? " i thought i perfectly hid myself from you when i was coming here !
'Master, I was standing behind you, i was waiting. '
I didn't notice her... not at all, shera sure is scary women.. i don't know much about her but i can tell she is str.... hey wait !!!! why the heck i didn't sense her presence when she was standing behind me !!!
" Shera...!!! "
' YES MASTER !! ' -She shouted
( oi oi hold your horses !! ) why did she shout so loud ?? anyways i need to ask her...
" Shera.. tell me why i didn't sense your presence when you were standing behind me all this time ? "
' huh ? what do you mean ? Master.. '
" you know presence ? fact of existing or being present, i even didn't hear your footsteps.. "
i might been concentrating on controlling spiritual energy but it is weird that i didn't sense her presence, ( Albert has high spiritual energy so whenever his spiritual energy interact with someone's else spiritual energy.. it resonate, a kind of response )
' Master ? don't tell me you are able to sense your mana '
Mana ? she must be referring to spiritual energy... so in this world spiritual energy is called mana but i might be wrong i should confirm it
" Mana ? what it is ? "
' so, you don't know... it is a complicated, i can't explain it throughly but i can say mana is resource for magic.. '
So, i was right.. magic does ex.. wait god said magic is fairy tale so it is possible that she knows about it by those fairy tales she heard.. and of course spiritual energy in this world known as mana is complicated, you could say every being is made from mana but at the same time they are not. it's like understanding core material of beings, the core evolve at times and changes itself... and i believe in this world there isn't anyone who has that core expect me
( For Better understanding.. i will explain it, As it said before how Magic work and it was simple but when it comes down to spiritual energy even albert doesn't know much.. but in the world where he is right now.. he is only person who understand magic far better than anyone in the whole world.. Spiritual Energy Emanate from beings and matter but a different kind of being or matter emanate different kind of spiritual energy.. fire element emanate an spiritual energy which could be used in fire magic.. same for ice, earth (Soil) , water etc. but how and why this all works.. no one knows.. therefore it is beyond understanding for humans who relied on technology so far unlike monsters and gods )
But shera knows about spiritual energy.. could she ?
" Shera.. can you use magic ? "
if i could use magic.. even if it 0.1% of my former self (when he was monster )... i don't think i will even need to gather family members to face kichiro family
' Master.. '
" ? "
' Master, i can use magic '
{ Hope.... }
SO SHE CAN USE MAGIC !!!! but why she sound so gloomy ? anyways now i know that magic can be used in this world... i need her to teach me !!
" Shera.. Teach me... to control spiritu.. i mean mana "
' Master.. i cannot teach you that '
huh ???
" Why ? if you teach me how to control my mana i will able to use magic.. and if you are magic user you can tell that i have everything in order to use magic "
' Yes... Master i know you are more than compatible for magic but magic is nothing more than a curse '
" A curse ? what do you mean ? "
' People who uses magic are actually using their own lifespan.. the mana you lose when you use magic is could never be regained '
it cannot be.. regeneration of that you lost in magic is not possible in this world ? but..
' So magic is more like a curse to people who uses it... we call limitation of mana 100mp.. i currently have 86mp left.. '
Eh ? she can tell ? well yes people can tell how much mana is left inside their body but mana regenerate when you rest for a day or two.. but if when exhaust all of your mana you might fall into deep sleep.. and your heart might stop beating because of it.. well in the end you might you die
so, if in this world mana doesn't regenerate then how could this world sustained itself for this long ? i mean everything in world uses mana to sustain themselves.. and it cost mana ! so then if mana doesn't regenerate, how is everything still exist ? after all at some point a resource has to come to an end..
{ Hope manifest despair }
ahhhhhh SH*TTTT !!! DAMN IT !! i am so close yet so far..... ( he finally used a bad word... )
okay.... CALM DOWN ! CALM DOWN !
i have really have quite much of spiritual energy but if i use magic like i did in my previous world i don't think i will even last for few months.. but shera knows how to use magic and she used it before....
( In This world mana is more like health bar.. the more you use magic the more your health drops and it cannot be regenerated so, if you used magic.. you are one step close to death ! and on top that.. well you will know soon enough -maybe in next chapter ?)
" Shera.. you said your spi.. ma... no.. umm you said you have 86 mp left ? " ( Mana point..)
' Yes Master.. '
" So tell me how long or how much time it took you to use your 14mp ? in which or what kind of magic you had used "
i need to learn everything that i can learn....
' i used magic 3 times in my whole life... in order to protect someone expect one time. the magic i used were 1 *Warm Breath 2 *Shield 3 *Slider '
Warm Breath and shield are same as in my previous world but what this slider ?
*Warm Breath -To Cure somebody from sort of disease but it is not cure magic
*Shield - A shield... will manifest before you, and protect your from projectiles or low level magics
" what is this slider magic ? "
' i don't know what kind of effect this has nor i was able to use it again.. when i was kid, i had a nightmare, in that nightmare.. the whole world was burning in blue flames, bodies all over place.. and all of that there was that young boy who had tears in his eyes but his expression were.. there were no expression on his face sadness anger nothing at all. i walked towards him, he was mumbling something like : THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT> I WILL DESTROY ENTIRE UNIVERSE AS SLIDER ROLLS OVER EDGE : when i heard word slider i repeated it and said it (slider) and i woke up.... that's all but when i said slider it costed me 2mp '
Eh ? i feel as if ending that dream was somehow off....ummm so she used magic in her dream, i never heard of something like this before.. not even in my pervious world
but i understand now.. why this world didn't progress in magic but instead it did in technology.. magic that will surely lead you death is truly nothing less than a cures because if you know magic there will be times when you have no choice but use magic... elderly people die all the times but there are people who don't want to let go of those people who are precious to them so they will go to any extent in order to save them like using heal magic.. but if you never knew of magic.. you would not have any choice but to accept reality and move on with it
therefore people who knew magic and knew how to use it never taught their descendant about its existence.. so they could live a normal life..
and i am sure mana not regenerating is far more unnatural than it sound.. it must work of that so called god-boy.. he must have set some rules over the world.. but it is just hypothesis, i was wrong before and i could be wrong again
So, Should i learn how to use magic ? i wonder... i have high spiritual energy maybe i could find answer to my questions if i learn it
shera.. she probably wouldn't want to teach me but...
aha It's almost morning...
" Shera, you used your magic three times.. and lost 14mp.. do you regret the time when you used your magic ? "
' Master, i don't regret it ' expect for that one time when i used in it dream...
"okay then teach me.. i insist... "
Magic is more like curse in this world but sometimes a curse is better than blessing
if you don't regret it...
' Mast.... I Understand Master.. i will teach you '
" Thank you Shera... "
and she smiled.. that smile was nothing more than a mask to hide her sadness behind that smiley mask of her, for me the reason for her sadness is unknown... just an another greed of a human.. i wonder how deep it is..
