A Story From the past and preparing for the future

It's the third day of Training and I just completed my Knitting training.

It's Probably about time I asked Simon About my brother Condition.

"Hey, Simon What is happening with Harry Condition."

"Hmm... In the time you were training I was doing my research and found that to be able to enter someone's dream you need extremely high-level magic also add the fact that the worm presumably controls five demons mean that it's far stronger than us."

"So?"

"We can't confront it now, with how much strength we have."

"And Harry, will he be alright?"

"Of course, the worm listened to him once, which may imply that she at least consider his will."

"She!?"

"No, I just referred to it like that, I don't know how gender works with worms."

"I get it, what now."

"Ok, let us start by trying your first spell."

"How do I call it?"

"What??"

"The name of the spell."

"Call it whatever you like."

"Hell yeah!!"

Now it's time for me to cast my first spell, excited beyond belief.

I took a deep breath and then Screamed at the top of my lung.

"Force Empowerment!!"

BAM... the sound of a hard bang came from the wall of Simons's room.

"Brother, tell your friend to not scream like that inside the home."

That was Simon's, little sister.

"Sorry, I'll make sure he won't do it again."

"HHHh... he made me remember when you screamed {Blazing Inferno} four years ago."

Bang... Simon punched the wall.

"Shut up!! you don't have to mention that..."

"Hehehehehehehe..."

Four years ago?... I wonder if I can ask him about what was that.

"Hey, Simon do you mind me asking what happened back then."

"It was when first I discovered that I can use magic and thought just like you now that I need to scream the spell name to cast it."

"By the way How did you learn magic."

"well, do you remember {Mary} she thought us physics in high school."

"Ahh... that teacher who people started spreading rumors about you going with her to her home."

"Yes, that one."

"One day I saw her using magic, but she noticed me and of course tried to kill me. and when I was running for my life from her. she shot a fireball at my face trying to blow my whole head, at that moment I managed to see around that fireball and diverged it down, so instead of blowing my head off, it blows my stomach open, when she saw that she healed me. after that, she told me that it will be a waste if she killed a natural-born caster. so instead, she started teaching me magic"

"And that why I was going to her home regularly."

"Wait didn't that teacher die last year."

"Yes"

"They said she drowned in the river."

"Well at least her corpse was thrown in the river."

"What actually happened to her."

"She had a job to exterminate a treant that appeared in the west forest, but in the middle of the fight the treant landed a hard hit on her chest, she died on the spot but the hit threw her body in the river."

"How do you know that? and what is a treant?"

"I know because I was watching her using my familiar, she didn't allow me to go with her saying that it's a dangerous mission! that stupid woman!"

"Sorry for your loss!"

"Don't mind it, also a treant is a tree that can move."

I wonder how many people are actually mages.

"Hey, what was your teacher's class."

"She was an artificer."

"By the way how do I use my spell?"

"just reimagine the process of knitting again with .

I closed my eyes and started imagining it, a pair of gloves is getting knitted around my hand, then a shirt, and a pair of socks and pants, finally a thieves-mask and a veil to hide the eyes and mouth holes,

when I opened my eyes I saw a white aura around my body.

"Nicely done! you definitely have talent!"

"By the way... why you don't use this spell?"

"The answer is simple, I can't."

"And why??"

"My talent is casting magic in the form of a spell, and to use a spell I need to straighten and knit , but you're using them raw."

"You mean that I'm better than you in controlling raw magic"

"Exactly, now don't deactivate your spell it stops on its own."

after about one hour the spell stopped working.

"Good, that was a whole 61 min."

I managed to keep the spell active for a whole hour and I still have energy left me

Simon is looking at me, wait what!! for a second I thought that his eyes changed color.

"How did you do that?"

"Seeing how much magic you still have? that just a talent I have innately."

"No, I'm talking about your eyes changing color."

"Wait they do??"

Simon didn't know about his eyes changing color and he now looking at them in the mirror.

Rather than changing just color, they go from normal deep brown human eyes into red and orange cat-like eyes,

"Why my teacher didn't tell me about this she should have noticed."

"Don't worry about it Simon probably it just started happening."

"you're right William."

"Now what do we do?"

"We still have three days so let me teach you how to get a familiar."

"yes, I want an owl."

"The [Find Familiar] is simple and I can help you cast it so let's do it now."

"Now repeat after me."

"I call upon the service of a spirit from this world."

"I call upon the service of a spirit from this world."

A small ball of light appeared in front of us. and then spoke to us.

"I heard your call and I'll be...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"

It screamed like a kid getting scared.

Then a pigeon landed on the window and spoke.

"don't get scared newbie, it's alright... for now"

I looked at Simon

"what happening here?"

"The pigeon is my familiar, but even I don't know what they are talking about."

then we kept listening to the familiars speaking.

"But senior, why in the hell are these two together."

"Even I don't know, just accept the contract."

Simon was the one to ask first.

"Hey fin, what are you two talking about?"

So the familiar name is fin.

"Sorry master but this is a thing that we can't tell you two about."

"Why."

"Can't answer."

Simon is looking at his familiar...

"well, it doesn't matter, William gets your contract done."

"Yes."

I turned to my to-be-familiar

"Will you accept being my familiar?"

"Of course how can I refuse such a contract."

With my familiar is decided.

"Master, what form do you want me to take?"

Simon Is looking at me, then he spoke.

"chose a form that doesn't stand out."

"Okay."

"So with this can you be a small bird."

"Yes, right away"

She then transformed into a small bird with brown feathers.

I feel tired, did I exhaust my magic.

"I need to take a rest"

"Of course, Tomorrow we have a lot to do."

"Like what?"

"We will take a Job, probably exterminating monsters."

"What?!"

We are going to fight already, we just finished training.

"Hey Simon you sure we can do that, didn't your teacher died in a job like this."

"We aren't going to fight something as strong as a treant, we will start low and climb our way up."

"where are we going to fight."

"Don't know yet, you rest know I will go find us a Job."

"Okay."

Tomorrow, I and Simon will go hunting. our first fight I hope we don't get hurt badly.
