Training and Cement

In this world, the concept of gender equality was long gone. Thousand years ago, the witches reign supreme and overlord of the lands, they are the ruler and savior of human race until one day an unknown disaster known as the devils attack and slowly conquer the territory of witches until they are push onto the barren lands.

All living things have an instinct called propagation of the species,magic is too strong for a fetus to survive and to a witch its impossible to have a children. But I don't know how the demons did theirs.

Years later, now the witches are being hunted and is being accused as devils spawn, which is a propaganda by the church.

Now in front of me is the a lady who has a awakened as a witch of this generation.

"What are we doing here, Your Highness?" Anna asked once Roland led her to the outside remote place where no one was around, except for the Chief Knight who was Carter, I tried appraising him but It didn't work, I can only see words floating on top of his head.

"Well, I'm just curious, what happened at the north slope mine? Can you tell about what happened in details?"

When she suddenly turned gloomy.

"What is it? Don't want to talk about it?"

"No, I will talk" Anna said.

"My father works at the mine, but because if the collapse of the mine, he was trapped."

"At that time, a mine worker wanted to seized the opportunity of stealing the valuables that were on him."

When the looter saw them, he rushed at Angsgar with a pick and knock him to the ground, but as he was trying to kill him, Anna killed him first.

Anna's neighbor vowed to keep it a secret and helped her rescue her Father. However, she was betrayed by that father for the 25 gold royal.

"Is that so? I'm sorry for making you remember those memories ." Roland said while patting her head.

"Your highness, that's— I am a witch who has corrupted and evil flowing blood in my body, aren't you afraid?" Anna said.

"I'm not afraid"

"I don't believe in whatever powers of the demons, I only believe that it is yours"

"And I will assist by helping you control that powers" Roland said while offering his hand.

"Lets go and train that power"

"Yes" she said while accepting the offered hand.

After that there's a notif in my quest.

[Ding! System Notification

Quest: Create a Cement]

"I want to test something" Roland said.

"Test?" Anna said.

"Yes, I've prepared a special room to train your powers, have you ever thought what was powering your magic? Have you ever think of it?"

"Come lets go to that place"

We walked for a few mintues and we went to a house that is a bit different. It looks like a kiln house or something.

"This is were we will practice your powers!" Roland said.

"What is this place?"

"This is a place to make our own cement" Roland said while having a proud look on his face.

"What is a cement?" Anna said while having a confused looked in her eyes.

"Its a... substance that lets things stick together, a powder of some limestone and clay then heat it in temperature sort of." I replied in a vague way. I don't even know either I'm just a gamer in my past life not like the engineer Roland in the story. But I know its somewhere about the iron boiling point temperature.

"I understand, you want me to fire this, right?" Anna said looking at the lime and clay on the floor.

*****

"Anna can you still continue?" Roland said 'It seems like the practicing of controlling magic is not easy.

"Kyaa- my clothes burned again." She screamed while covering her body. Well she's good cause its been minutes when she maintain the fire.

Its fortunate that I let my maids prepared the spare clothes. Hmm otherwise all her maid clothes will be burned. But lets think of a solution here.

Wait, isn't the concept of mana here in this world nonexistent? Damn and here I am lecturing someone about controlling magic when I didn't even give an explanation. But this is also just a theory a mana can also be a poison.

'His highness must be thinking something important.. I shoud not interrupt him' Anna thought to her self while sweating and firing again the cement.

While this was happening, Barov came barging in "Reporting to your highness, Barov Mons has something urgent to report to you."

"The patrolling squad reported that they discovered demonic beast, the months of demons will be coming early this year."
