Sealing Potential

"Hello, welcome to..." The young waitress paused as her brown eyes gazed upon the sixteen year old blonde. Naruto and Kurama blinked as the girl seemed to stare at them, a slight tinge of pink appearing on her cheeks.

'He's really hot!' The girl thought. Naruto waved his hand on front of her face and seeing that didn't work he snapped his fingers causing her to blink rapidly as she returned to the world of the living.

"Oh umm sorry, I was just thinking of something...ummm, welcome to..." The girl made a few arm movements and suddenly words solidified in midair above her head in bright colours, "Olive McGarden's. Please come this way to your table, sir."

Naruto followed his mage waitress to his table which was by the large glass window which gave the customers a view of the outside of the store. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her.

"Solid Script." He stated. The girl blinked at that.

"I'm sorry?"

"Solid Script. That's your magic, I presume? You're a mage judging by the fact that you use magic. Given by the smell in the air, I'd say the cooks here use magic to cook and you are on a job here because they don't want to lose business by hiring regular people as servers and so you're on a request to act as the entertainment and a waitress." The girl blinked, a slight blush coming to her face as she realized she was staring again.

"Ummm yeah, actually. You're pretty smart. Are you a mage too?" The girl grinned as she asked the blonde her question. Naruto remained stoic.

"I'd like the spaghetti cooked with the red fire magic. That type of fire tends to bring out the most of the flavours from the seasonings and..." Naruto's stomach released a growl of discontent causing the waitress to giggle at him. He looked up, "On second thought, just give me a small plate of everything. And for my cat...get him some fire whiskey." The girl jotted the order down, but frowned a bit when she realized he had ignored her question.

"Right away, sir...but if I may ask, why are you giving your cat alcohol?" Naruto looked at her with a serious look that caused her to flinch slightly from its intensity.

"Because he likes it of course." Naruto answered nonchalantly causing the blue haired waitress to face-fault.

"I see, well I'll get back to you with your order!" The girl said cheerfully before walking away. Naruto's eyes followed the waitress until she disappeared behind the door that led to the kitchen. He then looked up when he heard Kurama snicker and looking at him with a grin.

"What?"

"Seems you got yourself a little crush there, Romeo!" Kurama winked. Naruto scoffed.

"She's a weak mage. Solid Script, as useful as it is, results in a weak physical condition...she'd have to be stronger if she is to become worthy of being my mate." Naruto replied. Kurama chuckled.

"But you saw her eyes right? She's a bright girl. A sunny personality too, the kind of girl you would like." Naruto's eyes narrowed at the cat.

"I despise overly happy people." He deadpanned.

"Wendy was one and I don't recall you despising her" Kurama shotback.

Naruto growled at Kurama's report as he thought about what he could say to counter his argument but his mind had nothing for him. "I hate you right now".

"I know you do. That's why it's so much fun to poke fun at you and make it seem as if you're flirting with people you don't like, but still...she does interest you, does she not?" Kurama grinned like the vulpine he could become. Naruto nodded in agreement.

"She does...interest me, but not enough that I would consider her a potential mate." Naruto then reached into his backpack and took out a small piece of paper which had a glowing red seal placed upon its surface. Naruto placed his hand on the seal.

"Seal Magic: Release!" With that, a rather small sized book emerged upon Naruto channeling his magic energy into it. The book was a black one with a dark red magic seal imprinted on the cover.

"A Complete Guide to Seal Magic" was what was written on the cover in a royal gold. Naruto opened the book and began to read as he awaited his order. Over the past few years, Naruto had come across books in libraries from the towns he had visited along the way. In the restricted section, there lay the books that had information on lost magics or magics that were banned by the council.

Of course this completely confused Naruto and Kurama when they learned this because if the Magic Council didn't want anyone to learn the magic in the first place, why put it in a library and make a restricted section at all. Of course, Naruto made use of his storage seals and took every single book he could find on Seal Magic.

He had been able to upgrade seals to store more than one object in a single piece of paper by making a matrix seal in which that specific seal forms a checkerboard-like structure within the pocket dimension. That pocket dimension then stores as much items in the blank areas of the checkerboard matrix. For example, if he were to use a two by two matrix, the maximum amount of items he'd be able to store would be four.

Three by three matrices hold nine items and so on and so forth. He had also learned how to use Seal Magic: Break Down, which was a spell that allowed him to break down any spell and reveal its properties such as strengths, weaknesses and how it was made and constructed. Of course, the spell must be absorbed into a special magic seal to store the spell before it is analyzed by Break Down. Along with that, he had learned many elemental seals that allowed him to absorb elemental magics my coupling the Seal Magic: Elemental Seal and, Seal Magic: Pocket Dimension Absorption.

"Oh this one seems useful." Kurama commented as he read along with Naruto, "Seal Magic: Protection, uses the users magic energy to construct a shield out of pure magic energy. Downside is that it requires much magic energy in order to keep the spell stable."

"So far I have learned to break down and analyze spells with Seal Magic: Break Down by performing it on my own spells. I have also been able to upgrade my storage seals so I can use less paper mediums as the storage medium, however I'd need bigger sheets if I want to make larger matrices like seven by seven or higher. Maybe there's a seal in her that allows one to travel through the pocket dimensions like what Celestial Spirit Mages do. They are able to utilize their keys as a medium to open the gate from the spirit world to the human world. Maybe I can do the same with Seal Magic."

"That would be useful if you wanted to go to anywhere you have been before. Like the mountain home where you and Ac-"

"Do not utter that name in public. People know of Tou-san's destructive habits and they might become paranoid if they hear his name." Naruto explained to the crimson eyed feline in a hushed tone. Kurama nodded.

"Yeah, so as I was saying, maybe you could use those seals to go through the pocket dimensions and go back to where he kept his treasures."

"True, but the gems and stones I have on me now are well above that of a regular Jewel. I could buy the entirety of Onibus Town if I wanted to." Naruto said, "But I guess that could be useful to return back home in case I need to restock." Kurama nodded.
