Chapter 30 (Arc 1)

Wade was now in the simulation room, where the terrain was now set into a grassy meadow surrounded by forest. Cyborg has recently started reading The Lord of the Rings, so Wade was not very surprised. When orcs, dressed in steel armor and bows, started jumping out of the forest at him.

Wade was almost injured, but his armor shielded his arm from the attack of the sharp arrow. Wade decided to buy armor in the future, but Wade converted all of the Gacha. So he couldn't count on the help of the system. And with the idea in mind, Wade texted Cyborg to see if he could turn a shard of Trigon's sword into armor. Cyborg wrote back that he would try, so Wade went back to fighting the Orcs.

Wade is already skilled in shaping elements into objects. After a dozen or so minutes of training, he was able to shape the black ice in the spikes. Wade could see that Ice Black had a higher mana consumption, and after a few hours of training, Wade found an idea to reduce the cost and theoretically increase the multitasking ability of Black Ice.

Wade started using moisture in the air and in the ground, making the cost 3/4 less. And Wade could generate ice spikes even under the target. And remembering Alucard or the Count hailed with the title "The Impaler". Wade, with a strange satisfaction on his face and a slightly terrible smile, formed spikes of black ice between the legs of a group of Ogres.

And he literally impaled them until the sharp tip of a spike of black ice came out of the Orc's throat.

And oddly enough, Wade ignored it, and after the Orc bodies disappeared, Wade tried various techniques for combining new magic with his arsenal. And he did so until the end of the day, until the simulation was deactivated and Raven entered the Simulation Room with a serious expression on her face.

As she walked in, Wade heard the sound of the door opening. He was wiping his sweaty face with a towel, and when he heard a voice behind him. Trying to look confident, he turned to the source of the voice.

(Raven)-Wade?

(Wade)-Oh, Hey. I was the one who honed a new branch of magic.

Wade walked over to her calmly, topless as the blood stained a section of his clothes on his left arm an ugly beet color. So hit her so that the regenerating wound doesn't damage the fabric any more.

(Wade)-Do you need something?

Raven removed the hood she was wearing earlier. Showing beautiful purple eyes and medium length dark purple hair.

(Raven)-I was wondering if you would like to pair me up. Dick got a notification that there are supposed to be some goldons who know magic or meta powers resembling magic. So he suggested that I pair with you because you are the only available magic user other than me.

Wade guessed that Grayson did this to help Raven calm down. Because she hadn't slept much since the day of the incident. Wade knows this because he himself hardly slept. I could hear anime noises behind the walls. And as usual, Wade would mentally thank his friend for giving him moments alone with his object of interest.

So now Wade was light-headed, so how is it in his nature, he started to analyze it.

It is possible that it was Raven's appearance in the beginning, but even though he still feels attracted and hungry to watch her. Because it is impossible to hide she is literally perfect in his eyes. Now that's not why he likes her.

,,Because if you love someone for their looks. It's not love. It's lust."-Unknown

He liked her trait, but that's not it.

Wade has seen more than once how with her magic she was able to defeat a giant robot or other villain. He even saw her using her demonic power with some telekinetic black beam. She was able to grab an entire multi-story building and put it away safely. He loved to watch Raven in action of anger, she was able to take a slightly demonic form and hit the villain's chest with red claws and pierce him through several walls. He loved seeing that gleam in her eyes, that gleam in Raven's eye could make something inside Wade burn.

,,Because if you love someone for their power, power or that looks amazing against the backdrop of fire. It's not love. But admiration."-Unknown.

However, even though he had seen how powerful she was, that wasn't what made this strange feeling when he saw Raven now. Who, under the pretext of training, wanted to help him with his problems.

Wade loved to watch, or rather to peep from the couch. While Raven was searching the internet for information on some anime characters. In order to better understand power or something like that. Wade couldn't remember, but he perfectly remembered her intelligent, focused expression as she worked.

However, as in the previous ideas, this time he also knew that this was not the reason for this strange feeling either.

,,Because if you love someone for their intelligence. It's not love. But admiration."-unknown.

After this point, Wade literally saw no reason. Just being next to her, her mere presence made the world seem more beautiful to him. Even the nightmarish images of the destroyed world could not affect him. Now that she was there. And even knowing that, Wade didn't know why he felt what he felt now. But seeing that they had been standing still for too long, he said with a smile.

(Wade)-Sure, just set a new map to the city one.

As Wade walked to the control room, he saw Raven smile gently at him. However, feeling so much better. Wade set up the map and three minutes later returned to Raven. And he suggested they sit on a bench next to the cafe and discuss a few things.

(Wade)-So maybe let's start with the basics. What types of wizards do you know?

Raven was a little surprised by the question, she kept the main topic in her mind. But she decided to wait with it and thought about the question.

Wade felt extremely relaxed and at ease. And take pleasure in seeing Rachel pondering the question and having a thoughtful expression on her face.

(Raven)-What kind of magic does the opponent use?

(Wade)-This is also important. In order to choose the defense and possible counterattacks. Because when the opponent can teleport, you have to choose a different tactic than when fighting a Priomant or something similar.

(Wade)-However, depending on the type of confrontation. For example, when you are hunting the evil mage. In the first step, you identify whether the enemy sorcerer uses verbal or non-verbal magic ..

(Raven)-What do you mean?

(Wade)-Have you seen me use spells? Anime lyrics don't count. Hehe ...

A slight smile appeared at the corners of Raven's mouth. So Wade was guessing that Rachel had had memories of some of his antics.

(Raven)-No....Probably not.

(Wade)-You see, I am self-taught. And so far I didn't need any spells. And I'm the non-verbal type of sorcerer. However, people like Constantine, Zatana or you. Though it's not a spell in your case. But based on my mana sense. You use the three words as a kind of trigger and sometimes you don't use it. So you could say you are a semi-verbal sorcerer.

(Wade)-I mean, a Sorcerer who is restricted to spoken spells is much easier to overcome than non-verbal ones. For the simple fact that when you deprive a wizard of the opportunity to say anything. Whether it was by a spell or by damaging his vocal cords. He is basically an ordinary human, or if he is of a different species. It is limited to its physical capabilities.

(Raven)-So you can defeat the sorcerer in two moves?

(Wade)-Not. I've never fought another sorcerer. This is a theory. Remember that not only we have an acute magical sense. And if our little charm senses, we may not be able to defeat him so easily.

(Wade)-It all depends on many factors. If he's an amateur who learned a few spells and started using it to, say, steal. Defeating him is easy. And if we can open his chest without his interference. Even one blow is enough. It is enough to combine the speechless spell with a spell designed to push him away. And then it is enough to chuck it off and mount the muzzle for a Dog.

Raven smiled at Wade's funny remark. Although he himself did not find her funny. However, he was pleased to see a nice sight, but continued.

(Wade)-When confronted with a more experienced mage. He could kill us or just feel us. And then, or rather before going on a "hunt." Even without knowing how experienced the opponent is. It's best to have a well-established technique of masking your magical energy. And it can be quite simple.

(Wade)-This could be a good first exercise. Can you ... sort of? .... hmmm .... Feel magic, tell it apart, these things.

Raven's face showed a slightly embarrassed expression. Due to which she bowed her head slightly before looking at Wade again. And after a sigh, possibly making up or resolving something. She said.

(Raven)-I come from Azarath, I grew up there. And that's where I learned a spell or what you called a trigger. And mostly I haven't tried anything like that.

(Wade)-Azarath? What. Is it some magic school ... Devil's School of Czaronic. Like in that one paid novel. "Which I wanted to see once, but couldn't find the page," Wade added mentally.

(Raven)-Not. No ... But a peculiar comparison, I read that too.

(Raven)-Azarath is an undersize that exists alongside our world.

(Wade)-Something like Olympus?

(Raven)-Listen?

She said, her thought interrupted and her face slightly curious.

(Wade)-Wonder Woman is the daughter of the Olympus ruler Zeus. So since she is actually a member of the League. And Grayson said Wonder Woman and several of the League's top members are confronting Poseidon about the Kraken. It was the last five. He was talking to Batman on the big screen. So it is natural to confirm the existence of such a plane. Since no one knows the location of Olimp.

(Raven)-You're right.

(Wade)-Well. I'm also thinking of asking Diane sometime. To put me in touch with Hephaestus. I have two things against him.

(Raven)-Batman bursts in after a while. I do not know when. You'd have to ask Dick about it. But you can ask Batman for contact and possible matters.

(Raven)-Coming back. Unfortunately, my magic system is comprehensive, but I guess I was focusing too much on the rules.

(Wade)-Yes. Let me teach you this little trick. It is like meditation. However, you are fully aware. After many times, I feel it as if I turned on night vision. However, without googles. Give me your hand. Several times it activates this special sight. But remember, use as little mana as possible. Because I didn't see in one eye for three days the first time. It is true that thanks to this, I practiced Shotokan with my eyes closed. However, we want to avoid this. But first ..... Ehhh ... Can I introduce mine to .... you know what I mean.

Raven looked a little embarrassed, and one hand instinctively wanted to reach for the hood. But she stopped herself and gave Wade the same hand, right hand. Who, smiling, began to introduce his mane into her mana veins with the pre-determined intention of enhancing the stabilization of her mana.

(Wade)-How are you feeling?

Raven kept her eyes closed during this process and she replied without opening them.

(Raven)-Now that I have time. This is a strange feeling. I feel something strange in me. It's weird. But it feels calmer ... No that's not it. Free. Though I still sense something strange in my body. But it's nice.

(Wade)-,,Do not think about it. God forbid you. She is empathetic. So what if your defense negates such effects. And if it fails. Stop it. Focus on the task at hand."

(Wade)-Okay. The nice fact is that you can't see your mana epicenter for yourself. So the location of the core. It's like trying to see your lower back. You can't do it without using a mirror. But you can see everything else, and that's enough for now. What I explained to you. I called it the "magician's blind zone."

(Wade)-Now watch out you will feel a sudden burst of energy followed by a strong urge to close your eyes for a long time. Do as you feel. But focus on what I'm doing. How my mana makes this happen. You have to understand it yourself because I don't know if you feel the same way. Similarly with colors, you don't know if someone else sees it the same as you.

(Raven)-Okay start.

(Wade)-Good...Get ready.

Then Wade began to moisten and gently caress her mana veins. And, in some ways, inculcate the intention in magic so that it has an effect. Wade had the mana in his eyes, really gentle, and held back the demonic. Instead, he forcibly pulled out neutral mana and guided it.

Once the effect was achieved, Wade heard something he forgot. He himself was a brow the first time, but he forgot about it. When neutral mana is forced into motion for the first time. The nerves in the magician's body feel a short but very pleasant shudder. What caused it.

(Raven)-Ach....khh...Im Sorry.

Wade feels like something hits too hard. But he took a breath and tried not to think about it. But remember it for later. But his main focus was on translating, seeing Raven still with her eyes closed. Even though her face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Raven wanted to run away, but was aware of what they were both doing. So she stayed and focused on feeling the mana in her body.

(Wade)-Open your eyes slowly. Now you will see it like I said. Like a thermal imager, but once you understand how it works. You won't have to activate it completely. But you will clearly sense these kinds of things.

(Wade)-Remember that this will last for 15 seconds. I won't hold it big because your magic circuits. Let's call it that. They have not worked on such a scale so far. And today we will not repeat it, possibly at the end. Because you wanted to spar with me. So after the sparring, it should be night time. We'll do it again and go to sleep.

(Wade)-Then open it, slowly, and prepare for a slight flash of light.

Raven opened her eyes, briefly enveloped in a white thin translucent form of energy. Which was a beautiful sight for Wade's eyes.

Wade stood beside her and looking out into the streets, Wade asked.

(Wade)-What you see?

(Raven)-It's weird. As if everything was radiating.

(Wade)-Describe it and remember that feeling as you focus on the concrete.

(Raven)-A space where there are no buildings. It is filled with white ... light. However, the color of the light seems to change the closer you are to the objects. But it is not pure white itself either. It's hard to see pure white fragments. However, with every objection, the light combines white with blue.

(Wade)-These are hard light constructions, not real buildings. That's why you see blue light. It is not entirely blue, I can see blue and yellow. Which does not turn green. But between them you can see a few more colors.

(Raven)-I don't see it.

(Wade)-A matter of practice. You're just getting started. And if you looked at me closely now, you would have a headache and your eyesight would return to normal. Take a look at the control rooms.

(Raven)-There is Cyborg. How many colors ...

(Wade)-Time is up.

Raven looked at Wade, a little angry and saddened. Like a person whose favorite thing has been taken away.

(Wade)-I know it's cool. However, it is very dangerous and necessary. To develop magic yourself. However, it's best to limit your use of it twice a day. It's magic, many dangers can arise. So you have to stop carefully.

(Raven)-I see.

(Wade)-This skill. Not only will it let you identify the type of sorcerer. But it also has many uses. Mainly when manipulating mana. And using specific ones. However, it takes practice. So let's say when you want to try tomorrow or later, you know where I am. And I will be happy to help you.

(Wade)-Next are the uses of magic and the use of them depending on the situation. It is impossible to predict what will be needed. So I adhere to the principle of "improving your arsenal". You have to develop in many ways and develop various tactics. Think what you need and what you have to be careful about. Just think up a situation and develop new spell techniques to counter the weakness you have discovered. after refining the two branches of fire and smoke magic. From the fact that some may freak ... for example Blue during sparring. I worked out, as you can see, a new branch of magic, ice magic.

Raven laughed slightly. Because this is the first time she can laugh as naturally as anyone else. Which changed momentary joy into emotion. However, Wade's voice brought her back to her senses, but she looked a little different at Wade now.

(Wade)-I know it's kind of weird. But Anime is an endless mine of interesting ideas. Especially when you can even recreate Kamehameha.

(Raven)-Can you do "Kamehameha"? !!!

She said with a slightly shocked face.

(Wade)-No...Yet, I don't have that much power. But I made my own mini version, quite big, but not that powerful.

(Raven)-Will you show?

Wade understood himself. That if ever, someone could perform a Kamehameha or something equally legendary. He would like to see it for nothing. So seeing Raven's fangirl face, which was really cute. Wade stood up and looked at the control room. He said.

(Wade)-Cyborg. How are you already there? Turn on the shields at maximum power. Usually I pissed at the sky, but now I don't have a how.

The AI sound had a message saying that the shields were on. And Wade with a smile on his face started from the Kamehameha position and changed it, perfectly reflecting the posture that Vegeta and Goku had during this attack.

(Wade)-Kaaaaammmeeeeehhhhaaaammmeeehaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

For Raven and Cyborg, it looked like this. As if around a pure white ball of energy, the size of a tennis ball. There was a fog as if it was pouring out of Wade's hand. Which circled the white ball and circled around it. By creating larger orbs a little smaller in size than a basket ball. However, the smoke was slightly gray due to the action of the white ball. You could see that the gray smoke was circulating like a hurricane in the shape of a ball into a basket around the white one.

Then from Wade's hands, Black flames emerge and surround the gray sphere, creating an unstable sphere of energy. And in total weakness when Wade unleashes an attack. Towards the front of the wall, a black ray of energy is released, which looks like the original Kamehameha but smaller and instead of a blue one, it is black. And the tuft releases, as it were, black flames.

The effect of this attack was not very good for the structure. Because a hole was created that after the energy spread behind Wade's influence. She let a little sunlight in. Then Wade looked at the control room and said.

(Wade)-I have never aimed this attack at any fixed object. Sorry.

After a moment, Wade heard Cyborg's voice over the speakers. Who spoke.

(Cyborg)-Not a problem. But that attack, Bro .. Wow ... Dragon Ball. I think it's worth waching it. Wow.

Wade then offered Raven a sparring because it was quite late when she came. And Wade wants to try and fall asleep, and feels it should be a lot easier today.
