So small?

Before entering the room, I was anticipating seeing a very traditional Japanese room like what I watched in animes and movies. Like there will be the armor of a Samurai displayed at the side along with various Katana and other weapons, or a big Haori displayed on the wall along with big paper fans that has marvelous designs.

What welcomed me is a very plain room with no furniture or anything, just a small circular glass floating in the middle of the room. Master was already standing beside the small glass and gestured me to stand in front of it.

Following his gesture, I stood in front of the glass. Looking at it carefully, it seems like a mirror made out of clear quartz. I can see my reflection from it, I looked clear and solid, not like before where I seem transparent.

I looked at Master waiting for him to say something or instruct me on what I need to do to start, but he just stood there and focusing all his attention on the mirror.

I returned my attention to the mirror and wait for something to happen. Since Master was just focusing on the mirror then maybe I just need to focus my energy and attention on this quartz mirror instead?

Coming to that conclusion, I stared in the mirror. I tried to remember all the novels, manhua, manhwa and so on. They usually touch the magical things that were in front of them and activated on their own. So with that in mind, I gently touched the mirror.

"What the fuck are you doing! Get your filthy hands off Master's possession! You won't be able to pay it with your life if you damage it!" Chisa shouted.

Startled and embarrassed, I quickly withdrew my hand. Plus nothing happened when I touched that stupid mirror! I guess not all that I've read works, expectation versus reality is disappointing!

"What do you want me to do? Just stand here like an idiot?" I snapped back at Chisa when Master still didn't make a move.

"Just stay still," Master said with a cold look on his face. Yikes! Don't want to anger this handsome man and get kicked out before I figure out where the hell I am.

"Yes Master, I apologize for my behavior," I said politely. So I just stood there waiting for him to be done with whatever it is that he is doing.

Since he is staring intently at the mirror, I just did the same and just stared at the mirror. I don't know if I stared too much in the mirror, but the mirror looks blurry now than it did earlier. And now, the mirror looks like it's vibrating somehow.

Then I heard someone snapped their fingers and it stopped and my vision cleared. I looked to the side and Master is now looking at me. I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful purple eyes, I bet he would be more handsome if he smiles a little?

"I don't see any residue from the evil spirit on you, but we still can't verify your identity so we can't just let you leave just yet." He said to me.

Feeling of dread that they might put me back in that prison cell, I bowed my head, "Please let me off! I'm not a bad spirit! I'm just trying to travel all over the world and once I'm done I will cross over and be reincarnated or something! I won't hurt any humans, animals or any living creature! I don't have any special abilities or powers to use to hurt anyone!" I pleaded and explained to them.

"Bullshit! You don't have any powers?! Then how can you sneak up on me earlier to try and help that evil spirit and can move so fast to go past My Lord earlier when you were trying to escape because you failed to help your friend?!" The hot-blooded Chisa roared at me.

"I have never done any of those! Don't slander me or I will sue your ass!" I shouted at the dumbass as well. Every time he opens his mouth I can't help but have a shouting match with him. There is something about him that gets on my nerves!

When I noticed that his Master was looking at me, I quickly adjusted my attitude and tried to be a little polite. "I apologize for my rude behavior, but your servant was slandering me. I never did any of those that he mentioned, I swear!" I tried to look pitiful.

But looking at his reaction, I guess being a meek and tender girl won't work on him. Then I guess I should try the cutesy way? They say men love those cute and small girls. I was trying to ready my self to act cute but with his piercing gaze, I scrapped the idea! Where do those novels and manga's get their ideas!? They are not working to my advantage at all, rather, it will get me punished or worse, killed!

"Let me gauge the spiritual essence that you have gathered and test to see if you have awoken any abilities." He said simply. Wow, he can be a little nice at times? Even after shouting at his servant he didn't throw me in jail for being disrespectful.

"Thank you for your kindness." I bowed politely again and looked at Chisa. I stuck out my tongue at him to irritate him more.

"No need. Stand in front of the mirror and place your palm on it. Then close your eyes and concentrate all of your energy towards your palm that is touching the mirror. Hold it for more than a minute and we will wait for the mirror to react to your energy." He instructed, and I tried my hardest to direct my energy towards my right palm.

Since this is the first time that I have done this I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but I just imagine that there is energy gathering at my right palm and I don't know how long I tried doing that. But to be honest, I do feel like there is a warm current flowing from my body towards my palm and that there is like a prickly feeling that I get on my fingertips from touching the mirror, so I guess it kinda works?

"You can stop now." He ordered.

I opened my eyes and let got of the mirror. Master shooed me away and looked in front of it. I tried to take a peek at what's reflecting on the mirror but since he is taller than me I can't take a look even if I'm on my tippy toes.

"So, what does it say?" I asked nervously. I don't know what it will show and I hope whatever shows up in that mirror will not condemn me. They might change their minds and conclude that I'm a menace to society or something to that effect.

I saw that he leaned closer to the mirror but I can't see his facial expression. Then, Chisa cut in front of me pushing me back a couple of steps away from the mirror. I can see that he is waiting for his Master's instructions and then Master moved away from the mirror.

Chisa leaned over to the mirror as well, I walked closer so I can look when I heard Chisa laughed loudly. Curious at what he is laughing about, I tried to look even if he is blocking my view. He moved away from the mirror and as he is doing so he looked down at me and gave me that annoying smirk. What the fuck is he smirking at?!

I pushed him away so that he can quickly move away from the mirror. I didn't care if he can pummel me to mush I just want to see what my power is! Now standing in front of the mirror I couldn't see anything.

Confused, I looked at Master with a huge question mark on my face. "That is the level of the spiritual essence that you have inside you." He said simply.

"Where? I can't see it." I told him when I looked at the mirror again.

"There, in the middle. Do you see that spot? That is your spiritual essence." He came closer and pointed at the little dot or more like a speck on that flawless mirror. What is that?! That's all the spiritual essence that I have gathered all this time!? Why is it so small?
