Awakening

After Lysa invited Kirayasha to come to the castle and enter it, Kirayasha was confronted by the Host who was Lysa's father. The Host's castle was enormous, consisted of two floors and had a magnificent architecture.

"Are you okay, my daughter!" Shouted Lysa's father as he approached him.

Lysa's father looks quite old, has short black hair, and wears a black coat.

"I'm okay Dad!" Lysa said while hugging her father.

The father and son hugged tightly.

"Who is this man?" Lysa's father asked as he slowly let go of his hug.

"Ah! Sorry for introducing myself late in front of a noble! My name is Kirayasha Zanshikou!" Kirayasha said while prostrating.

"J-just take it easy, why did you bow down?" Asked Lysa's father while lifting Kirayasha to his feet.

"Huh?, S-shouldn't it is like this? I heard in my area that if there is a nobleman in front of you and you are just a commoner, you have to bow down to respect him." Kirayasha asked as she stood back up and put on a confused face.

"Hahaha! You are too much, you don't have to bow down when there is a noble in front of you." Lysa's father said with a laugh.

"Al-alright then," Kirayasha said.

"Do you know Father, he is the one who saved me, he killed the kidnapper with just one slash and no magic ! even though the kidnapper was already at the third level!" Lysa said while pointing at Kirayasha.

"Huh? Is that true, young man?" Asked Lysa's father to Kirayasha.

"Right, sir .....?" Kirayasha said as she looked at Lysa's father's face with a confused face.

"Oh !, you can call me Graham." Said Father Lysa (Graham).

"Very well then, that's right, everything Miss Lysa said is true, Mr Graham," Kirayasha said.

"Hm ....., is this the boy Adam talked about? ... After seeing it, it is a little interesting, let alone that strange sword, and he was able to defeat a third-tier magician without using magic." Graham said to himself as he watched Kirayasha.

"Is something wrong, sir?" Asked Kirayasha.

"Ah !, nothing young, maid! Please lead Lysa into her room!" Graham replied as he ordered the waiter.

The waiter came and started escorting Lysa upstairs.

"Lysa you go to the room and change your clothes, we will celebrate your safety today." Said Graham.

"Alright, dad !, see you later, Kirayasha!" Lysa said as she went upstairs.

Lysa went upstairs and entered her room, while Kirayasha was alone with Graham.

"Alright Kirayasha, can you come with me for a moment?" Asked Graham.

"Okay, sir," Kirayasha replied.

The two people went to the back of the castle and headed for a place that resembled a field but very large, in the middle of the large field there was a large stone that was very clear.

"Alright Kirayasha, without further ado, I'm very interested in your abilities, can you show a little of your abilities?" Asked Graham.

"If the master wants to see it, then I will," Kirayasha replied.

"Good, then you try to kill the creature that I call this," Graham said while wearing a gold ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

After Graham used the gold ring, suddenly the ring shone brightly. In front of Graham, a yellow magic circle appeared, right above that circle appeared a green wolf and yellow horns.

"H-how did you do that !?" Kirayasha asked in surprise.

"What ?, How ?, Of course, magic, why are you asking things that everyone knows?" Asked Graham.

"Sorry in advance, but, I know absolutely nothing about magic, Mr Graham," Kirayasha said.

"What! You seriously don't know anything about magic! Are you kidding!" Shouted Graham.

"I mean it Mr Graham, in my area everyone lives without using magic at all," Kirayasha said.

"Aish ..., which area do you live in? No, forget it, it doesn't matter where you live, then I change my question, have you experienced awakening?" Asked Graham, amazed.

"Awakening, what is it?" Asked Kirayasha.

"You don't even know awakening! Huh ...., wait a minute, let me think of something." Graham said while surprised and entered the wolf, he had summoned into the magic circle.

"Alright, then." Said Kirayasha while sitting cross-legged and cleaning his katana with a rag.

"This brat ?, He doesn't know what awakening is, worse than that, he doesn't even know anything about magic, even though this world itself is formed from magic, where did this child come from ?. Wait, he said he didn't know what awakening was, means he hasn't been resurrected himself. he hasn't been resurrected and has defeated a 3rd tier mage, what kind of power if this brat has been resurrected, hm ...., I should try it. " Graham said to himself, thinking hard.

"Hey young man, I'll try to raise you up, do you mind?" Asked Graham.

"Resurrect me? Wait, can you explain first what is the meaning of resurrection?" Kirayasha asked as she stood up from his seat.

"Oh yeah, you're right, you have to understand what resurrection means first, okay, I'll explain. Awakening, is the state of a person when they get their magic power, yes, at birth they can't cast magic, why? It's because of them. Still don't have the permission to use mana, who is someone who allows us ?, That is the mana itself. We have a body, and around us, there will always be a mana, whether in the air or in the ground. When we are not allowed to use mana, then the surrounding mana will not be able to enter our body. On the other hand, once we have obtained permission, we can absorb them everywhere and use it to use magic. Where did it come from ?, I also don't understand, I've read a book, and It says that mana existed even before humans were on this earth. when someone has obtained permission to use mana, that person has been resurrected. " Graham said as he explained.

"Hmm ..., so we can do any magic, you explained that we can absorb mana and use it as magic, so as long as we keep absorbing it, then we can do any kind of magic?" Asked Kirayasha.

"It's not like that, each person's body has their own capacity for storing mana, and they can't continuously absorb mana. That's because when we absorb mana, we're channelling it into our veins, so if you're continuously absorbing mana. mana without stopping, your veins will burst, and you will die. " Graham replied while explaining.

"Then how can we increase our mana capacity?" Asked Kirayasha.

"The method is the same, you also have to ask permission to which, at the beginning of awakening, you are in stage one, and when you meet the criteria for advancing to a stage. you have to ask for permission to which you can go up to stage 2, the higher your stage, the bigger your stage. also which capacity can you absorb. " Graham replied.

"Oh yeah! When I met the Leader of your army, he asked me if I was a Wind Release Magician. does everyone have their own elements, or can everyone learn all the elements?" Asked Kirayasha.

"Good question, one can only learn one element, and that element is chosen by the mana, so you could say. Which one determines your element, there is also where one can learn two to three elements at once. there was even one person who could master it, all over the elements. " Graham replied.

"Then, what elements did you use to summon the wolf earlier?" Asked Kirayasha.

"It's not elemental magic, but contract magic, contract magic is the time when you conquer a sacred beast when you have conquered it. The holy beast will turn into a crystal stone when you give mana to the crystal, the sacred beast inside the crystal. it will pop out, on the other hand, when you don't put any mana into the crystal, the sacred beast returns to the crystal. " Graham replied.

"Alright ..., I almost understand, so, let's do it!" Kirayasha said with enthusiasm.

"Wait a minute, when you want to ask permission from where, you have two ways, the first way is, you touch that big clear stone, after you touch it. Which will evaluate your body to adjust its capacity, after that, which will determine your element, this method is the easiest, and for the second way, just like the first way. The difference is, when evaluating your body, there is someone who helps you get more capacity, the way is by strengthening your blood vessels. so the process will be very painful, even You can die if your veins are not strong, so, which one do you choose? " Asked Graham.

"No need to ask too many questions, it's clear I choose the second one!" Kirayasha replied.

"All right, follow me!" Get Graham.

Kirayasha followed Graham to the clear rock.

"Touch the stone and concentrate, imagine you are a balloon and mana is air, don't let the balloon burst because there is too much air in it," Graham said as he explained.

"Okay, I understand!" Said Kirayasha as she touched the stone with one hand and slowly closed his eyes to concentrate.

The stone that Kirayasha was holding began to shine brightly.

"Here we go!" Graham said.

When Kirayasha concentrated, suddenly Kirayasha's body was entered by a large amount of mana.

"Argh !!" Kirayasha shouted in pain.

"Hold it! don't let your hand off the stone." Shouted Graham, holding Kirayasha's head to help him.

Kirayasha's mouth slowly bleeds profusely.

"Cough!" Kirayasha coughed while bleeding blood from his mouth.

"Hold on, young man! It's almost over!" Shouted Graham.

"Imagine that the balloon holds a lot of air and doesn't make it burst," Kirayasha said to himself while concentrating.

After a few minutes of concentrating, the rock that Kirayasha was holding had started to dim.

"It's over, young man!" Graham said.

Slowly, Kirayasha opened his eyes.

"Huh? Is it finished?" Asked Kirayasha.

"Yes, you did well," Graham replied.

"So how does one know what elements it has?" Asked Kirayasha.

"Oh !, You just need to focus the flow of mana into one of your hands, after that, your element will appear by itself. Whether your hand emits fire, water, lightning, and so on," Graham replied.

"Alright! I'll try it!" Kirayasha said impatiently.

When Kirayasha is focusing his mana into his right hand, suddenly a black mist shrouds Kirayasha's hand.

"This t-this magic!" Shouted Graham in horror.

"Mr Graham! Look at this! Is this the mist element?" Asked Kirayasha.

Graham slowly looked at the elements released by Kirayahsa with a scarred face.

"I-it's the element of darkness!" Shouted Graham, falling down with a terrified face.
