CHAPTER 7: Alchemy

Zero's Point Of View

After hearing Kitsune's story uesterday I felt something strange. If it wasn't for that red string thingy that broke the mood. I was here looking at the window, as I looking at the strange looking trees and their fruits that were abundant in them. Releasing a deep breathe. "I am really in another world". I muttered in a very low voice that I can do. "So even now that you are staying here for a week you're doubtful about it". Merleona spoke that I didn't even know that she's there behind me. "Well that's not really it, I just felt nostalgic about it being the truth. "And this would seem so boring without my phone to do something as a leisure time". I said realizing something that seems to be so exciting. "Can I possibly recreate it, but I don't have any means to charge it and without internet it's useless". I said as I also contradicted myself. "What are you thinking?". Merleona asked with an interested tone at her voice and then Kitsune approached us two. "What were you two talking about?". She asked as she became curious about the two of us talked about. "Ah, I was thinking of creating a cellular phone". I said that made both of them clueless on what I was saying. "Cellular Phone?!!". They asked me in a synchronized tone. "Well it is a device that most of the population used in my previous world, Frstly it was used mainly for long distance communication but as the time passed by it evolve where it can take pictures, watch, and play online and offline games". I explained but they seemed to not understand anything that I was saying. "I don't believe that long distance communication because that's impossible, but Pictures, Online and Offline Games, What are those?". Merleona insisted as cross her arms looking at me with doubts. "Yes, I agree with her". Kitsune says supporting the claim of The Goddess. "Well, yes that's possible since that world didn't essentially works with Magic System but more on Scientific Progress". I said that made them believe a little bit. "Well if that's really true, then prove it to us". Kitsune confidently demanded to me as if she's sure I can't. "Well I have one here but it's in low battery". I said and pick my phone and make them look at it. "Is this it but this is just a chunk of glass and metal and rubber". Merleona stated with disappointment in his tone. "I don't know if I can recharge it since this is another world after all". I said with grief as I bow my head in thinking. " Well if can customize that like an alchemist you use magic stone to supply energy by embedding it in that device". Kitsune says like it was naturally coming from her. With her saying it I immediately hug her in excitement. "Thank you, Thank you!". I said and suddenly realized what I was doing I immediately get away from her. "Ah Sorry". I apologized to her. "SKILL CREATION: Alchemy". I chanted to divert the tension of what happened earlier. Taking the magic stones I earn from the rabbits. Creating a magic circle placing the battery and magic stones in it. "COMBINE". I chanted combining the two of them embedding the stone inside the battery. "Is this gonna be okay". I said and opening the cellphone and soon after it worked. "Success!!". The two says and take a photo of them. "This is a Picture". I said and make them look at it as they became surprised. "Whoah, this is a very detailed unlike those paintings in my ex-masters chamber". Kitsune stated. "And it just took a second to have this, unlike being steady for several hours for painting a portrait". Merleona says in awe. "Then, next the games and videos". I said but ended up being disappointed after realizing there is no internet or mobile data. "Then, just echant it". Merleona say that gave me a hint and made another magic circle enchanting it with the following:

UNLIMITED MOBILE DATA ACCESS, UNBREAKABLE, UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE AND LITERACY, INFINITE SIGNAL, AUTOMATIC RECHARGING.

Even though they seems so pathetic. I believe it that they are necessary. After enchanting it. I made them watch my favorite animes and games that they seemed to enjoy. "Now I just need to have a copy of this phone to prove the long distance communication". I said stirred up their excitement of having their own cellphone. Using the second magic circle, I place the phone in it and chanted. " Duplicate 2 Times". I said and chang the color of the two and take out the sims and chang their last numbers in alternative form. As I give it to them those. "So can the two of you go somewhere else and when you hear that the phone rings open them like this and click the green one like this". I ordered that they get fastly. "Yes we get it". They say and run from two different directions, then I call them. "Hello can you hear me?". I said since I also set another enchantment Group Conversation. "Yes I can clearly hear you". Kitsune replied with such surprise. "YES! YES ! I CAN CLEARLY HEAR YOU BOTH". Merleona shouted in amusement that it broke my eardrum. "Okay, just keep your voice down, our ear hurts". Kitsune demanded to her. "Oh sorry". Merleona says and cut the conversation. Soon after they came back. "That's So Amazing". They both praises but then Kitsune ssked. "What's with those symbols? The First one is a circle cut in a curve with dots in the opposite sides while the other one has two triagle interconnected to each other". She says. "Well the first one is called the Yin and Yang that represents the two energies the positive and negative energies that enables a device to work". I said in a very simplified words I could grasp. " The other one is a Hexacle that represents the four elements Fire, Water, Air and Earth. A representation that means if you combine two elements or more can create a various effects". I explain to that made them understand upon realization. "So its like a knowledge being vultivated over time". Merleona says. "Or it can be explained like weather like how wind stirs the sky and ended up becoming storm". Kitsune says nearly understanding the concepts. "You're both right but to put it simply is like a family, like if a water mage and a wind mage unite and give birth to three children. The two inheriting one of their parent's ability and the one inherited both ability creating a powerful combination of those elements and resulted in a child being an ice mage". I explained to them as they realized something and says. "A GENIUS".
