1.14 7th circle magic

Blake's mother, the duke and the duchess came rushing up to the dark-haired boy and saw him tilting his head up, trying to prevent the blood to drop to the floor. Quickly, Blake's mother pulled out her handkerchief and squeezed Blake's nose before ushering him to sit down.

"Wh-whats wrong with him?" Henry asked, staring straight at Blake as he quickly followed after the family.

"You don't have to worry, your highness, this happens often," Blake said quickly, trying to brush the matter away.

"No, it doesn't!" Flora exclaimed, her eyes already watery as she clutched onto Blake's sleeve as if her life depended on it.

'Well, it did happen often when I was back on earth,' Blake thought, sighing as he held Flora's hand tightly to comfort her.

"Oh, dear..." Aliyah mumbled under her breath as she helped Blake hold up his head.

"What's wrong?" Aegus, the duke asked, worry in his voice.

With a sigh, Aliyah replied, "His mana is fluctuating."

"Which means?" Cruella, the duchess asked. Even she had a hint of worry in her eyes even though it wasn't all that visible.

"He's unlocking his 7th magic circle already," Aliyah replied. Though she was proud, unlocking a magic circle where there were many people was bound to be dangerous for Blake.

The duke immediately picked him up and rushed to Blake's room, placing the child on the bed. His hand slowly and softly stroked his head as a sigh escaped him.

Blake had already read about this, as he unlocks more stages, the more dangerous it'll be for other people around him. Unlocking a magic circle means that he will be in a state of unstable mana. His mana will fluctuate, causing the nearby and surrounding mana to also fluctuate, risking the lives of people in a 10 feet radius. His body will go through some changes along with his magic circle expanding. As someone who reached the 7th circle so naturally at the age of 7, he was considered the prodigy of prodigies.

The duke left a quick peck on Blake's forehead before turning to leave the room. As he closed the door, he dispatched his knights to guard that section of the mansion. Only until Blake finishes creating his 7th circle successfully. The duke was confident that Blake would get through it successfully, however, he also felt as if it was safer than sorry.

In his room, Blake felt a surge of tingly electricity run through his body as it suddenly pooled in the middle of his chest. It was suffocating, the feeling of being drowned but also being able to breathe. The blood that flowed out of his nose increased as he crouched and curled into a ball on his bed. Tears welled up in his eyes as a tingling and stinging pain struck his chest.

Soft gasps escaped his lips as he clenched his bedsheets to keep himself grounded. As he closed his eyes, he took deep breaths and bit his lip.

The pain only escalated at that point on. making Blake eventually fall out of consciousness.

'If I knew it would hurt this much, I would've taken some pain killers,' Blake thought before he fell unconscious.
