A brown suitcase under my seat got my attention, on the side was my name, which had miraculous survived the transition.
Opening it, I could see some packed clothes, a couple of books, and some toiletries. At the very bottom of the case was a photograph of a group of kids standing outside of an orphanage. I immediately saw myself among the crowd.
"So, this me is an orphan. Well I suppose it could be worse. At least I won't have to go through the trouble of pretend to be someone else's child."
Taking a book from the stack another window appeared in my vision.
[You obtained the skill book [The standard book of spells: Grade 1] ]
[Will you learn this skill]
[Yes] [No]
I chose no for now, "Skills."
[Gamer's Mind (Passive) LV MAX
Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind. Immunity to psychological mass effect.
Gamer's Body (Passive) LV MAX
Grants a body that allows for the user to live the real world like a game. Sleeping in a bed restores HP, MP and all mass effects.
Numbed Emotions (Passive) LV MAX
In need of a heart? Life has made you into a sociopath, a living doll. You feel very little when it comes to others. Attacks you aimed at an opponent's heart now do 5 times as much damage. Attacks aimed at the user's heart does no damage. (Since magic is half emotions you get a draw back to all spells until you reach 50 WIS.) ]
"Oh the first two seems quite helpful, it almost makes me regret not playing as many video games when I had the chance. The third however… living doll? How appropriate," I thought out loud before turning my attention back to the trunk.
There was a 11-inch magic wand placed beside inside of the case which I grabbed. It looked like a black twig that had been sharpened to a point with small bumps on its side.
[A skill has been created through a special action.
[Observe] (Active) LV 1
Through continuous observation, a skill to observe objects, situations, and persons was generated allowing the user to quickly gather information.]
"Oh now that's an interesting quirk. Should I test it on the wand then?"
[Blackthorn Wand- Rank: Special
A magical wand crafted by Garrick Olivander made out of blackthorn wood and dragon heartstring.
Magic spells cost 50% less mana to use.
Magic spells are 50% more powerful.]
Pocketing the wand, I closed the trunk and opened the spell book, I needed to play my part after all.
About twenty minutes into my reading, the compartment door opened and two girls stepped inside.
I knew who they were almost immediately as their names were floating above their heads.
[Daphne Greengrass (LV 3)
Tracy Davis (LV 2) ]
My mouth quirked up automatically in a well-practiced smile, "Hello."
They ignored me completely as they took their seats on the opposite side of the room and placed their respective trunks under their seat.
It was to be expected I suppose. They correctly assumed that I was either a muggle-born or a half-blood and rather than take the effort to look for a new compartment they instead chose to ignore me.
I mentally rolled my eyes. Children.
I was happy to do the same as I returned to the book in my hand. It was interesting all things considering. I passed the time by trying to come up with a logical explanation to some of these spells, like the lumos spell.
The train's whistle sounded, and I could feel as it pulled out of the station. All things considering it could be worse.
Turning a page in my book I received another message.
[Diligent studying causes your INT to go up by 1.]
Now that was an interesting result. Looking at my Mana pool I noticed that it had gone up by 10, meaning that one point of INT equaled 10 points of mana.
Dismissing the window, I turned to look at the two girls that were completely absorbed in their talk. By the looks of it, neither one could see the game's window.
Daphne looked like the stereotypical rich girl portrayed in media nowadays, with white skin, silky blond hair, and pale blue eyes. Her efforts to keep an emotionless facade was almost funny in how bad it was, but that was to be expected of a 11-year-old. She was still green (pun intended) but in time she would be able to hide her emotions more easily.
Tracy was the exact opposite with black hair and brown eyes. Her presences was completely overshadowed by Daphne's, and she apparently knew this too as she made an effort to be as loud and eye-catching as possible.
I had met their types plenty of times before. Entitled children of rich parents that had never known the hardships of life. In my past life I could also be considered one.
It was almost funny how just 24 hours ago I was practicing for my big debut and now I was eleven again on my way to a magical school. That was alright however, as I had always been quick to adapt to new situations. For now, I was content to just enjoy this new experience and see were it would take me.
I could hear a trolley being pulled, and a jovial looking woman pushed a cart full of sweets with a full smile, "Anything off the trolley, dears?"
I silently observed as the two girls walked up to the cart and bought some candy and pastries, carefully recording how much things cost so as to get a good reference.
When they sat down it was finally my turn. I walked to the trolley giving my best smile to the witch. I had found some money in a sock inside of my trunk earlier.
"I'd like a chocolate frog please. How much would it be?"
"It will be 1 Sickle dearie," she said as she took a pentagonal box from the cart.
I hand over the silver coin and took the offered candy, "Thank you very much."
