ch _4-Learning magic

~Lucia's POV~

"Ahn~ Good boy, You really love Mommy's milk don't you?" Lucielle said to her son. When no reply came, she then opened her eyes and saw him dozing off.

Every time she looks at her children she can't help but be proud. She though she already had it lucky with Linia and Luna , who seemed to have a talent in magic. But Lith was also really smart for his age. He showed interests in literature, as he would always point to character he doesn't know when they were reading stories. Not only that, Lith was really obedient and when things don't go his way he just sucks it up. He doesn't throw tantrums and just looks at you with puppy eyes or he pouts. I really should've stopped breastfeeding him by now, but he's such a good boy. I can't let him play with bows or learn magic yet, so this should make do for now.

Really, How did such good children come from such a lousy man?

-Lith's pov -

I'm now around 6 years old. Though I still am a toddler by elven standards. One Elven year turned out to be 4 years from my previous life. So it was basically more consistent as there would be no leap years every four years, and we have such long lives anyways. But we adopted the human standard so trade would be more consistent and easily. So by human standards I would be 6 years old by now.By Elven standards i am only 1 and half years old.

Now that I could walk on my own, I've been leaving the house more often. I remember when Mom first took me out to the village, I really couldn't believe the way our village looked. Rather than a village it looked like a massive hideout. We were atop massive trees, with rope bridges connecting houses together. Together this rope bridges make an interconnected system, forming our little elven 'village'. If I were to make a comparison, it would be like the Fortree City in Pokemon. Our house was at the outskirts of the 'village', so we were pretty secluded. I still can't believe it's real. We actually live atop massive tree.

This time however I left with my elder sister Linia , or rather we sneaked out. We descended the trees and then went on to a secluded place. The reason of course, I used my cuteness and begged Linia to help me teach magic.

It feels weird to say this without sounding narcissistic but I really am pretty cute. I got Mother's good genes and I assume our father had white hair. Since unlike Luna and Mom's silver, mine and Linia 's hair is White . Combined with Mom's Cyan eyes, all I can say is my looks are a big, big upgrade from my previous life's.

Simply speaking i evolve in to cute boy from average looking

Person. I am very damn sure i will be very handsome when i grow up. when i first look at my self in mirror i was bewildered .

Though right now, I look more like a girl because of my shoulder-length hair, though I tied it in a loose ponytail.if someone from earth look at me he or she will definitely think i am girl.

My Sisters are also pretty. Elven genetics man, how unfair. Linia too had White hair and Cyan eyes . Hmm, So my dad here had white hair and ocean blue eyes huh? And since we are pure elves then he must be one as well. She's taller than me though not by much. She should be 14 in human years but she still isn't undergoing puberty from what I can see. I really don't know anything about elven biology.

Me and my sisters were always close, so when I used my tears to beg her, she couldn't resist me. Though she told me I must keep it a secret from Mom.

I first told Luna to teach me magic but she refused so i tell Linia to teach me magic i also use my cute face to convince her.

"Lith , so what do you want to learn first?" asked my sister.

I knew about the four elements of magic, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. So i knew what she meant.

"How about water? I want to help on cleaning our house!" I said, as I though water would be the most useful. Well it seems like she didn't expect that answer as she was stunned for a second, before looking at me with gentle eyes.first I was thinking about learning fire element magic but later i decide

to learn water magic. Actually i was afraid that i may accidently burn my fingers so i decide to learn water magic first.

"Just how cute can you get, Lith! Oh wait, how could I forget. Before learning any elements you must learn about mana or we won't be getting anywhere"

"Mana?" I tilted my head towards a familiar word. It usually was used in video game as like the resource for using spells and skills, so I had a pretty rough idea of what it could do.

"Mana is like the... uhhhhhh.... it's like.... Oh! it's like wood, think of it like that. It's like a resource, that you can change depending on your will, it could be an arrow, a bow, or a table depending on the crafter's wishes."

That seemed like a bad analogy, I thought to myself. But I already have a rough idea of what mana is, so I didn't really need that. For me mana is like electricity we use to charge mobile start fan and bulb. Simply mana is kind of energy.

"Mom told me it could be found anywhere, as it is present all around the world. But thankfully we're high elves, so we are supposed to be innately good at sensing mana? or something...." She was losing her confidence as her explanation became longer.

she definitely doesn't know how to explain and teach.

But that was a shocker, I knew we were elves, but 'high' elves? That was unaccepted. I've read some novels and they were usually like an even more refined elf? I still don't know what separates a high elf from a normal elf. But that explains the secluded community, I guess. I always thought it was weird how it seemed like it was only us in this forest, but now I have my answer I guess.

Wait, wouldn't that mean I would grow at an even slower rate now? High elves are like the pure-blooded ones with a longer lifespan right? Look like i am going to live very long life .But i want to make this long life of mine luxurious and to do that i have to work very hard.

"When controlling mana, you would feel something flowing out of your body and before changing it's form with a spell. Though you can also use raw mana as a weapon, it's not that good really. Mana Wave!" my sister chanted, when a white orb appeared and flew in a direction before exploding. It dealt considerable damage, but none to jaw dropping.

"How do you control mana?" I asked

"eh? uhhhh... it's like.. a ticklish feeling in my stomach? You just think of it and it would follow, atleast that's what I did." Celine said while scratching her head. That explanation would have thrown most people off, as expected of a genius I guess. She couldn't explain, something that she just does naturally.

"You make it sound easy, so how come Mom and Luna didn't want to teach me Magic if it was so simple?" I asked another question. It was then that she seemed to have remembered something as her eyes opened wide.

"I remember!" She then ran to my back "I was supposed to help you first, if you feel something moving in your body then don't resist it. Mom doesn't know it but I can already do this." She said as she applied some force on my back and closed her eyes.

God how can she forget something like that

It was then that I felt something move in my body, a ticklish feeling in my stomach. Oh just like riding a bicycle, once you know how it's done it suddenly becomes easy. It's not as hard as i imagine or maybe i am genius . Well it's good for me .

"Mom said only us high elves can move mana in someone's body. It seems we really have a natural affinity with mana, and because of that we can teach each other about magic much earlier because we can help them understand the concept of mana firsthand."

So being high elf has some benefits.

I marveled at the information and the perks I have just by being born a high elf. Well to them this much is natural but as a former human I know the benefits of having an advantage early on in life.

"Let's go back Mom could get suspicious. You can practice by yourself now, though Mom mustn't know. "

"Thank you so much, big sis! I really mean it!" I said as I hugged my sister, she too returned the hug. However my hands moved downwards until I was grabbing her butt, she didn't know what I was doing so she had no particular reactions to it. For her it's just a more special hug from her little brother. Then I slowly kneaded and spread her ass cheeks before pecking her on the lips, then we separated.

This already happened before, I 'said' that I 'saw' someone kissing on the lips, So of course the child me 'innocently' asked what they were doing and Mom was embarrassed said it was something people who love each other deeply do. Or atleast that's what she told the two of us. Being child has it's own perks.

So not long after I had my sister kiss me as a sign of 'love'. And we've been doing it since, of course I never do it in front of Mom, or she might really explain what a kiss is supposed to be.

I first returned home, then after about half an hour Linia came back as well, to avoid suspicion
