Chapter 16: The Beginning

The relevances are always the same, in spite of everything and even though I don't like it, it's always the same things in the relevant loop of life, money is still my problem of great level, I mean the academy gives you a monthly allowance which is enough to survive, but if at some point I decided to leave I would have no way to earn money.

On the other hand Liliti hasn't been back for two days, where could she be?

In the alchemy class I could see Leon's talent shine through, but I also learned how to combine the elements in a more useful way, something so simple that I hadn't thought it through clearly.

Through a simple recipe we learned how to generate mana potions and minor regeneration potions, those that in dungeons could save our lives.

The strange alchemist who still walked this earth after being summoned as a hero was spoken of.

"and then when he finally managed to change our world, generating various advances in this one he told us his name hoping that the next heroes would follow his path and establish ways to improve our daily lives"

the elven woman spoke with enthusiasm as she explained the story of the eternal hero.

"he left us his greatest treasure and died standing on the ruins, where his statue now stands, in what was our first defense, this hero called himself Flamel and when he unveiled his identity he said he was"

"Nicolas Flamel"

before I heard his words, I whispered his name, as cold sweat broke out on my body.

"the artifact he didn't leave, it allows rejuvenation, healing and even changing matter without the need of a magical catalyst".

with every part of that description fear ran through me completely, it could only be an object, the one that is only a legend, but created to give immortality.

"We call it the Vine of Life, but the great hero Flamel called it the Philosopher's Stone.

if something of that caliber exists in this world, if someone evil would get it, no, no, it has been many years since Flamel left it in the care of the White kingdom, that means that he keeps it protected and under care.

"just as the hero Flamel left his greatest treasure other heroes have left them in the past, our greatest and last hero of mankind also left his relics."

When I saw it I was completely frightened, because it was an instrument I knew very well, something I was familiar with for a long time and that in my world only meant danger.

in the holographic image shown by the mana stone, one could clearly see an m16 style assault rifle, a pistol and two grenades still with their rings.

"but for the next class, i will also have important data for you."

as i left the classroom, i could only think about the weapons, if something like that came to this world, many more things could have come, it was only a matter of time, maybe even .... can come back.

as I was walking rambling in my mind, I bumped into something, to be exact someone.

"o sorry Celia"

"watch where you're going"

annoyed, she walked away from me to meet with other people, but it was none of my business, she still looked sad.

Without further controversy I went back to my room, where a somewhat confused and annoyed Jessica in her human form was waiting for me.

"what's wrong Jessica?"

Tried to get his attention with the intention of finding out what was going on, but he pointed in the direction of the pillows where he always sleeps.

When my sight reached the spot I could understand.

a group of fairies were resting in the place and among them Liliti who looked in a more mature way, but I knew exactly it was her, because of her magnolia flower.

"Hey."

He tried to get her attention, stinging her with a finger, but she just bit it.

"hey!"

At her reaction, I took her in my hand freeing myself from her bite, Liliti woke up to so much movement and smiled at me stretching.

"hello master!"

her joy was still the same as ever, but now I required an explanation from those five Fairies resting comfortably on my bed.

But before I could demand an answer, Jessica grabbed her in her fist leaving only her head out.

"there damned winged rat, tell those third rate suripantas to stay away from my sleeping place or I'm going to eat them!"

Jessica annoyed growled at her demanding her place to be vacated, leaving me out of the situation, but Liliti didn't get upset on the contrary she smiled proudly.

"The one with the slutty shape is another one, isn't she master?"

"You!"

Jessica's magical power began to fill the atmosphere with intentions of attacking Liliti, on the other hand this one did not stay behind, although she did not show it I understood it well, something catastrophic was about to happen.

"you two be quiet, Jessica let Liliti go!"

at my command, Jessica reluctantly released Liliti from her fist, she herself smiled victoriously, but soon saw my angry look.

"I hope you have a good explanation for this."

Still her proud smile did not fade and with even enthusiasm she called out to the sleeping fairies.

"come here!"

the fairies fluttered and stood behind Liliti with their hands hidden and shy looks on their faces.

"I love that they will be your concubines!"

at her words, I opened the window quickly.

"Get out and you Liliti go with them!"

his smile broke at my reaction and then he started waving his hands, smiling nervously.

"it's a joke master, they're just Forest Fairies who were looking for shelter hehehe."

but this time his words caught my attention, even Jessica who was in a corner annoyed, came to my side to know more about what happened.

"how come? what happened to the forest?"

Liliti left the jokes aside and swallowed saliva while the other Fairies looked down with sadness on their faces.

"an enemy came to the forest and consumed the Fairy mother, they say it looked like a fire-spitting dragon, but it had spider legs, also hunchback monkey arms, they do not know exactly, but the survivors called it Storm, it came without warning and began to devour and burn trees, soon the giants of the hills, the rock giants stood up to it, but they were slaughtered, even the hermit tyrant dragon succumbed to his strength, they had no choice but to evacuate the place, as he only left death in his wake, the earth rotted and even the seeds withered, before this great threat, the one that gave life to the forest, the one that healed the world, a root of the yggdrasil or as everyone knows it, the Fairy mother went to stop him, but only got his death."

Liliti looked at me in a serious manner when she finished speaking.

"master, outside he is rambling something capable of killing beings of creation itself, we must be careful"
