24 Diary 24: The Origin of Mage Summons
David sighs as he tells his finding to Dr. Wilson and the fact that Min Soo is a foreigner from another world. Hence this might be the reason why Min Soo had the ability to spell cast without speaking the enchantment. David explains the situation to Wilson whose he trusts as a friend so that they can stay on the same page.
The awkward explorer tells the tale of Min Soo's arrival in his mansion and the fact that Min Soo saved him from an attempted assassination against him. Wilson seems to be interested in the sickly young man after David explains wholeheartedly, it is his first time to see David invested in someone before.
Wilson smirks at David who seems to be slow in taking information. Min Soo who is unaware of the two gentlemen's conversation only blink his eyes toward the two shadows speaking in the corner of his bedroom. His arid throat made him unable to speak clearly, not to mention his severe headache and temperature.
"So David, you're finally interested in someone?" Min Soo was able to decipher Wilson's words despite his weakened body.
"Ssh, as if" David replies coldly, even though there's a hint of redness in the explorer's cheek. "I just want to know whether he's alright, I am partially responsible for his illness".
Min Soo's head is blanking out, the young man wants to sleep more. He wishes he could sleep peacefully; alas all he could do is silently close his eyes and wishes that the God of Sleep take him far away to the land of dreams. Miraculously, that did happen right after Min Soo thought about it.

Min Soo is awakened, floating on the surface of the sea once more. The Goddess Aphrodite stares at him cutely, his smiles curt into a frown as he throws a question toward the Goddess of Love. He is questioning the limits of his spellcasting and the sole reason why he's able to do that.
The Goddess merely chuckles when Min Soo's puzzled expression shows on his visible expression.
"What about that? I thought you would be overjoyed to know that you have limitless potential for being a foreigner from the outside world".
It appears to be his status that comes from the other world is that determines his ability and his inept skills in Sanctus Luminera. The Goddess gave the mage ability based on what he's good at in his previous life. It is the hint that the Goddess gave to the puzzled mage, that his ability will be based on what he is.
"What do you mean by that Goddess? You said that as if you-".
"You have yet to discover your true potential, youngling" she adds. "It depends on your experiences along your journey Min Soo".
Min Soo somehow feels insecure now that the Goddess gives him riddles instead of concrete answers. The K-pop Idol is a newbie, not that he even can do any spell cast in the beginning. The reason for him being able to spell cast was his different mana overflow. Goddess Aphrodite bestows upon him the ability to control water.
"It suits your personality, as for your friend I gave him to the God of Fire" Aphrodite replies cheekily. "I'm sure that Man can handle your friend".
Her statement only baffles him more, surely he doesn't feel like arriving on the world with someone. Min Soo remembered clearly that he landed on this mystical world alone unless that man Tae Min was somewhat also involved in this magical charade. Min Soo gasps when he realized that might be the case.
Tae Min and he had a sour relationship lately, but he doesn't want anything bad to happen to Tae Min.
"Wait a minute! Taemin is here!?" Min Soo growls at Aphrodite who didn't tell him anything about Taemin. "You didn't tell me!".
"You didn't ask youngling" the Goddess replies calmly. "Even if you asked, you don't have the power to even travel across the border".
The Goddess is right, he's weak since he's new in magecraft. Aphrodite, the Goddess prepared the grimoire for Min Soo, she bestowed him the power of the Visioner. Thanks to her bestow of magical power, Min Soo had the Aquos element.
"But remember, you're a special person Min Soo" the Goddess speaks in such dignity. "There's a reason why I chose you as my warrior".
"Chose me?" Min Soo widens his eyes.
The Goddess nods as Min Soo's eyes widen, this only adds the theory that each Element Gods and Goddess chose someone from outside of the world to participate in their world crisis. Tae Min must have been chosen by the Firos God. Min Soo growls in annoyance since now he knows the origin of his summoning.
"So you Gods and Goddess chose us in random for the sake of your world survival!?" Min Soo holler at the Goddess, restrained from being able to hit the Goddess who summoned him. The water around him feels heavy, tightening him down at the bottom. Aphrodite summons him because he's an outsider from Sanctus Luminera.
"Is that why you summoned me? Ruining my career!?" Min Soo growls under his breath.
Before his answers could be answered, the Goddess merely chuckles as She sends him away to where he came back from.

"Wake up" David wakes Min Soo from his dream. David shows two green pills on his hand, the explorer tells Min Soo to drink it for his fever. Wilson specifically made that pills to boost his body immunity and heal his fever. The fever is merely an aftereffect of his low supply of mana. David gives the cup of water for Min Soo to drink.
Holding onto the cup of water, Min Soo swallows the two pulls then glug the water down into his dry throat.
"Drink it slowly, take your time" David smiles kindly.
Min Soo is still surprised by the sudden information from Goddess Aphrodite, She hides more things than what he thought. Wilson enjoys the view from the corner as he sees the two partners gaze on each other eyes in intensity.
