Chapter 3, Learning Magic

A few days later.

'Today is the day that I will learn magic from mom, and by the gods I am excited'. Was the first thing I thought when I woke up, I was thrilled when I heard I was going to learn how to use magic as up until now all I have been unable to use real magic. All I can do right now is circulate mana around which, enhances my body, hardens objects that I hold, improves my mana capacity, and stabilizes my mental state. The fourth one helps a lot, especially with how I reincarnated.

After having breakfast, I went with my mom and the maid to a separate room in the house that had a single lock. It was the first time I saw the lock, now that I am looking closer at it, using magic in my eyes this time, I see a faint amount of magic in it. 'Wow'

the maid opened the door with a basic looking key. Still amazed by the lock I don't notice her open the door, once the door opened the brightness from the mana nearly blinded me. The lock must have had been some sort of magic suppressor. My mom seeing me look away was suspicious that I was able to see the mana. After she circulated mana through her eyes she looked at my own and confirmed her suspicions.

In a suspicious tone, she said."Can you see it?" I knew I was caught, so I decided to tell her the truth.

"Yes. Why is it so bright mom?" I asked, trying to make it look like I had no idea what was happening.

"That's a mana spring. It's a place where mana gathers and condenses in one spot however, this is not a natural mana spring, I made it using my mana and a catalyst. Natural mana springs don't have a catalyst and instead makes mana stones underground or in the nearby animals turning the animals into magic beasts." She explained.

"Wow, that's so cool!" I exclaimed with my eyes still hurting, even after I stopped circulating mana through them. My mom grabbed my other hand when I was done rubbing my eyes and led me into the room.

The room its self looked like a normal room with no windows, except for the blackboard with chalk dust all over it and the small white pillar that had blue pulsing lines and runes that looked futuristic. On top of the pillar was the same wand that was used to heal me a while back. Seeing the wand in the middle of the room surprised me.

My mom gave a small giggle at my amusement and said. "You can hold it if you want, just ask me after our session to hold it." She walks over to the bord and starts to write and draw on it. I tore my gaze away from the wand after hearing what she said, sat down in one of the 3 chairs in the room, and watched with excitement as she was finishing with the last drawing.

When she finished with the last drawing she turned to me and started to explain what was on the blackboard. "These are the three sections of magic that we are currently using, the first one is the common magic, as the name implies this is magic that anyone can use, it's said that a summoned hero created this magic and called it "Latten" for reasons we don't know, there is a story that his first words he said when after he was summoned were magic, and it created a massive thunderstorm. However, no one was able to reproduce the effects thus it became common magic since it's the easiest of the three to use."

She drew some basic pictures of what the hero looked like, and noticed that I had a question and asked. "Do you have something to ask?"

I saw a chance and asked. "When was the hero summoned?"

She looked up slightly with a thinking face and said. "He was summoned around Five-hundred years ago and died seventy years after the summon. He defeated the demon lord ten years after he was summoned."

'Amazing! he defeated a demon lord? That's so cool! I wish he was still alive.' I thought this with a sparkle in my eyes, my mom saw that and giggled and thought. 'My kid is so cute, look at that amazement in his eyes!'

My mom looking back at the blackboard continued to explain the next type of magic. "The second type of magic is ranked magic, also known as circle magic. Ranked magic currently has 13 ranks and growing, ranked magic has had a lot of breakthroughs in the current year and even broke through the 13th rank too. I will be teaching you rank one, two, and three, as these three ranks are the least destructive and easiest to use."

She moved down the blackboard to the third type of magic there was a big line down the middle of this section and started on the last one. "The last type of magic is called unique or bloodline magic. The reason there are two seemingly different magic is that they are actually very similar, unique magic is magic that almost everyone has, it can vary greatly from person to person, we will test if and what magic you have after this."

she walked to the other side of the blackboard and continued. "Bloodline magic as the name implies it is unique magic was passed down to the person child with little to no change. Otherwise, it's the same as unique magic."

Once she finished the mini-lecture on magic she went over to a plain desk in the corner that I missed when I walked in. while she was over there she opened something and pulled out a plane wand, it had no engravings, no bends, and solid wooden color. She took out three more of the same wand and glass-like gems. She brought over two gems and four wands and held out one of each and gave them to me.

She pointed at the gem and wand and said. "We first are going to make your first and second wand, there is a high likelihood that the wand is going to be destroyed by your mana so I have a few extra just in case we need it. first, grab the mana gem and feel how it pules out your mana, then try to move your mana into the gem without over or under filling it." I give her a worried look after hearing that last part. "

"Don't worry the gem will just empty the mana out if you get it wrong so just focus on trying." Hearing this my worried look nearly vanishes and gets replaced with excitement.

'Im making my first wand!' is what I thought, before starting.

End.
