Magic Lesson

When she heard from her father that today Emilia would get a magic teacher. Emilia grew impatient and quickly ran to the library. There he found Viani standing beside the sofa waiting for Emilia to arrive. Without further ado, Emilia asked Viani.

"Viani?..do you know when my teacher will arrive," Emilia said as she walked to the sofa and sat there.

"Your teacher is already here, young miss," said Viani.

"Huh?!.. Where!!" Emilia said excitedly while swinging her dangling legs rapidly.

Viani then sat on the sofa facing Emilia, then said.

"Right in front of you young miss," Said Viani with a smile.

Emilia is silent for a moment, then.

"Ah!! did he use magic so we can't see him, wow!! That's amazing!!" Emilia said with eyes that seemingly sparkling.

For the second time in front of Emilia, Viani opened her eyes wide and said.

"I am your teacher, young miss"

For a second, Emilia stared at Viani's eyes... Fear accumulated in her heart. The same fear she remembers on that day. But in a second, that's fear completely disappeared as her golden eyes shone brightly. Viani's surprised to see the result, she intended to use evil eyes to make Emilia stay put and quiet while she explains the circumstance.

"Huh?" Emilia was a bit confused by Viani's answer. She then concluded "I see... I wasn't actually allowed" Emilia then lowered her head in sadness.

Viani then says " That's not the case young miss," she then gathered mana in her hand and created a bright blue light "I am actually a witch. But because of personal reasons, I chose to become a maid now. Therefore, I was chosen as a suitable teacher for the young miss by The Duke"

Seeing the blue fire, there's a bright light in Emilia's eyes. It shone like a golden star. Emilia let out a 'Woah' sound showing her admiration.

"Viani!! can I do that too?" Emilia said happily.

"One day you can do this too. But before that, you have to learn the basics first" said Viani while stroking Emilia's head.

"Okay then... I want to read this book!!" Emilia said while thrusting a book in front of Viani.

Viani looked at the book Emilia is holding, then she said "Fufufu... a Grimoire of Advance Light from the start... Young miss, your appetite is bigger than I thought. Like I said earlier, you have to understand the basics first, so this book is off limit for now."

Emilia puffed out her cheeks, then said "Well, where can I get a book for basic magic??"

"Unfortunately the book is only available for Magic Academy students. The fact I am your magic teacher is actually a secret. So I can't just enter the academy and borrow books there." said Viani.

"Why is it a secret?!" Emilia tilted her head.

"Usually you have to turn ten years old first before you can get a magic teacher. Right now, young miss is only two years old. So the fact that I became your teacher must be kept a secret. That's also why the duke chose me to become your teacher." said Viani.

"Huuuu!..." Emilia let out a cry, then said "so how can I learn the basics of magic without a book?."

"Please calm down young miss, although we don't have the book... I still can teach you the basics... after all, I am a witch... I memorize every single thing about magic." said Viani.

"Magic is one of the natural phenomena that is created because of the mana controlled by living things. Every living thing has mana in its body, be it as little water in the desert or as much water in the ocean. If mana is depleted, the creature will die. That's why learning something about magic must be accompanied by a teacher" said Viani explaining the basic concept of magic.

Emilia nodded her head as a sign that she understood. Even though Emilia was only two years old, she already understood very well what death is. That's what Viani had in mind.

Viani then continued " The reason why a living thing will die when their mana depleted is that mana itself is the embodiment of the soul. When the soul is no longer in the body of a living being, the living being will die."

"In that case, how can the mana be replenished after it's almost completely drained?" Emily said.

"That's a good question, there are several ways to restore mana in the body. The first is to rest and let it regenerate naturally, akin to the blood that gets created every second in your body. This of course will take a lot of time. The second method is mana transfer, this is the fastest way to recover one's mana in times of crisis. One can give one's own mana to another person, but one needs to remember not to drain one's own mana. This method, although is the fastest... is hard to master. One's needs to fully control one's own mana to perform this act

The third method is to absorb pure mana that comes from the sacred tree.

Different from the previous two methods, this pure mana restored mana instantly. But of course, it's not that easy to get pure mana, the sacred tree is the abode of the angel. The angel is known as the ancestral race of the seraph. They are not very friendly towards other races, especially humans and demons. Due to this, pure mana is rarely seen in the eyes of ordinary people."

"Pure mana...? are pure mana look different from regular mana?"

"When it comes to the look, pure mana has a shimmering gold color. However, it is important to know that, in contrast to regular mana, pure mana has a physical form in the form of a powder. Which has an aura that is also gold in color. Its aura can be seen with the naked eye," said Viani.

"The naked eye?" Emilia tilted her head.

"Ah... I'm sorry young miss, I should have explained this first. Basically, mana cannot be seen with the naked eye, only people endowed with special Eyes can see what mana looks like. But as explained earlier, because pure mana has a form physical, even people who don't have special eyes can see it."

"Why is pure mana different from regular mana? Why is it that only pure mana has a physical form?" Emily asked.

"Pure mana is said to be the origin of all mana on the world. That's why it's called pure mana. People also believe that pure mana belongs to the gods, these people call pure mana as god essence."

"Gods?? um did Viani ever meet gods?" Emilia said.

"I've never met gods in my life, as far as I know only the ten Arcangel have ever met the gods. Speaking of gods, I heard that all gods have sparkling golden eyes. Just like your eyes young miss"

"My eyes?"

"Yes, it's a bit strange... because your father has brown eyes and your mother has blue eyes. Where could the gold color come from? This has been on my mind for a long time, but could it be that Young miss Emilia is the chosen one?"

"The Chosen One?"

"The person chosen by gods as gods favorite. These people are called God Apostles"
