Chapter 41

I want to tell the truth but it was a weird and unbelievable story. Even I won't believe it when other people told me such a story and I might think that they have gone crazy. Is it better to try what she did?

"About that..., I need to check it myself because I don't know if it will be able to help me or not."

I need to proof it that it was a perfect technique for me. But my methods might seem to be dangerous for both of them. And it was happen in my dream as it might be won't work in reality. But my intuition believes that it will help me.

"Did you find the solution for your current condition? It won't be dangerous, right?" Brother Winslow asks while looking at me with a sharp gaze.

"I think it was not dangerous... But I need to check it directly to prove it. I don't know other people with similar experiences like me so it is hard to tell you about the results." I said it with uncertainty in my words.

Although 'Shia' was able to do it in that strange dream, but I don't know if it was really possible to do that in my current situation. The key is the seventh attribute. It was something that I never hear from the explanation that I got before.

Currently, I have six attributes in my body. Everyone in this world is only able to gather one attribute or a maximum of three attributes in their body. The more attributes that you gather in your body means more harm to your body. The clash of the magic power inside the body will give the owner internal injury and might cause death if it was dealt with carelessly.

I started to meditate and gather the magicule but only after I spend around an hour I was finally able to sense the seventh attribute. I could only find a few of them. But when I put it in my body, the chaotic magic power in my body suddenly calm down.

No, it was still circulating chaotically but it was as if the seventh attribute managing the other attributes to not cause harm to my body.

As I open my eyes, Brother Winslow and Sister Ancelina's faces are quite grave. What happened?

"Umm, Young Miss...don't be sad. We just need to try with another method. I think I am glad that you are alright... It's better to be alive..." Sister Ancelina started to timidly try to cheer me.

'Hmm, is there something wrong?'

Suspicious of Sister Ancelina's reactions, I look at Brother Winslow to demand some explanation.

"Did you decide to stop it because it was too dangerous for you? Did you stop because you feel hungry?" Brother Winslow has a similar reaction and took some food for me.

I look out the window and ask both of them.

"How long I have been meditating?"

'Did I forget about the time and did it the whole day? It happened when the first time I learned magic from them.'

"Did you meditate? You just closed your eyes for a few seconds and open your eyes again. Your magic power suddenly disappeared as if you have lost your magic power." Sister Ancelina said with a worried tone.

"..." I was speechless.

There are two problems that I don't understand right now. The first one is the time that I spend for gathering the seventh attribute. I think that I spend a lot of time to be able to find it but both of them said that I did it in a few seconds.

The second one is how they were suddenly unable to feel my magic power. I know that most people in this world were able to feel the other magic power when they were gatherings the magicule. To easily describe it, when a person gathers the magicule, they were opening their body to let the magicule able to get into their body so other people will be able to peek at their bodies and see their magic power. But both of them are unable to do it after I put the seventh attribute into my body.

So it was something that relates to the seventh attribute in my body. I don't know what kind of attribute it was but it might be related to 'time'. It was what my feelings told me.

I try to check my condition and try to create some magic balls with different attributes. But I was only able to make six different attributes like before. I don't know how to use the seventh attribute. But after I try to use my magic, I did not feel tired like before.

"Are you alright? Did you feel uncomfortable like before?" Brother Winslow asks with a worried tone.

"I think I did it. Look." I am easily able to change the shape of my magic balls.

I did not try to fly or move it around because I was afraid of making an accident. And if I blow my room, won't they will know about my secret?! I quickly stop my magic. I decided that I will try it later when I'm alone.

Both of them have a jaw-dropping expression.

"I think that it was alright now. I never think that I will have clues from my dream." I muttered.

"What did you just say? Where do you learn it?" Brother asks with a smile.

'Oh no! Did he hear it?!'

In the end, I got scolded by Brother Winslow and he forbid me to have sweets for a week. I understand that he acts like that because I remind him of his little sister. But at least he shouldn't have to forbid me from enjoying my sweets. Because of that, Sister Ancelina also blamed my reckless behaviour that make her unable to get any sweets too.

That night, I try to remember about the strange dream and I was thinking about the silver hair name who have a name like the Duke family name. Is it just a coincidence? But what I read and heard before, Duke Kadaklan's trademark was the heir always has beautiful white hair. And it was being inherited from the first Duke Kadaklan which the younger brother of the first Emperor.

If what I dreamt was really something that happened in the past, then who is Shia that makes him act respectfully to her? And I am really curious about the child that she cares about.

In the history book that I read before, I have never read about such a story before. I only remember that the history book said that the demon race is envious of the other races and they were asking for the help of the God of Chaos and become more bloodthirsty and started to kill the people from other races.

'Hmm, because of the censorship in that strange dream, I have more questions about what is really happened in the past.'

But no one can answer my questions. I decide to not believe in the history books as the content might be far different from the reality...I need to hide it because it was just a dream and it might be caused by my wild imagination.

After I decided to stop thinking about it, I decided to do what Shia did in my dream and train my magic skills. At first, it was hard to do but after doing it for a few hours, I was finally able to do it. The magic that I am able to accumulate in my body seems to have grown larger than before. And the more I trained, the easier for me to do it.

I seem to fall asleep when I'm training my magic. But my body becomes lighter and I feel refreshed after I wake up. I feel like becoming the cultivators in the story that I read in my past life.

The next day, I started another new class.

When I arrived at the laboratory, I saw some familiar utensils. It was like a science laboratory. But there are some different parts, like the monster parts (horn, blood, eyes, claw and skin) or strange flower that was infused with magic and some magic circle that I don't understand how to use it.

I'm looking around because it was something new for me. Then the teacher comes and looked at me as if I was part of the ingredient to him. I hope he was not a mad scientist type of person.

"Let's begin our class. I am busy with my research so I will explain the basics for today." The alchemy teacher said with a serious tone.

But for some reason, I keep feeling his sharp gaze that keeps looking at my black hair and eyes. I feel goosebumps because I feel that he will try to make me into his research material if I drop my defence around him.

"Alchemy is a study to create something using our magic. Our magic will help us in creating after we mix the correct ingredients and process them. You need to learn about how those ingredients will react in different conditions. To shorten my time, it's better for you to read it yourself, here. I give you a week until our next class. You must read it and remember the content. Alright, we should end our class." The alchemy teacher gives me three thick books that I need to finish in a week.

I come out of the laboratory while carrying the thick book. When I closed the door I could hear him mutter something so I decided to eavesdropping.

"This is the first time I saw someone without any blessing. How could that thing have black colour hair and eyes?! And she seems to not have any magic power... Should I test her if she could create something without using magic? Kekeke...I can't wait to try it in the next class."

Hearing his words, I feel that I shouldn't use any magic and failed at the test terribly to make him lose his interest in me.
