Chapter 6: Chap 6 – Mom.

My mother's name is Alessa Tonhaed, one of the most brilliant minds in Tarvedum.

She was born on a small island called Calabria, where she lived with her father and sister. They had no contact with anyone else until they were discovered by a wandering merchant when she was very young. She was taken to Tarvedum, where she met my father, who was also from Calabria. The two fell in love at first sight, and it wasn't long before Alessa gave birth to me.

My mother is in charge of magical research.

Her magical research made her miss a good part of my childhood.

I was only able to talk to her when I was 9 years old. It was the year that I started elementary school. My Mom spent most of his time working for the government. She had a brilliant mind and became highly respected in society. As such, she was granted many opportunities.

My Mom never missed an opportunity to come home and say hello to me every night.

She brought me lots of things, too.

I received a lot of gifts from her. In particular, my favorite magic book.

The book taught me the basics of ice magic. That magic was so simple, but it was also extremely powerful.

Even now, whenever I think back to that time, I can remember exactly how it felt to see the magic move around.

At first, I didn't understand what kind of power I was dealing with. It didn't take long for me to learn that this was a form of mana. But there was more than just that. There was a difference between seeing the movement of ice and knowing its true nature.

That was the moment when I realized the importance of studying magic.

She always made time to train me when I  started practicing magic,

Until her work started to get in the way of even those mother-son moments.

Mother's job took her far away from our home.

Then today she told me she would be vice president of my school.

“Isn't that great?!” she exclaimed happily.

“Yes, mom.”

I wanted to be happy but I can't.

If she finds out that everyone hates me, she will be sad.

I don't want my mom to be sad.

“It looks like this news took you by surprise, so let's have dinner and talk tomorrow.”

“Okay! Sure, mom!”

After that, I went to bed early.

The next day, I woke up and ate breakfast with my Mom and Amanda. After breakfast was over, I went back to my room and practiced magic.

Mom came into my room after lunch.

“Can we talk about yesterday's thing now?”

“Yeah, it is.”

My mom sat down on the floor across from me.

“It's a dream come true to spend more time with you.”

“Thank you, mom.”

“It might be awkward at first, but I hope you understand.”

“I'm willing to try.”

“Thanks, son.”

We both smiled at each other.

“Why don't we practice magic like we used to?”

“Sure mom.”

We went to the garden to train.

Amanda followed us too.

“Good luck master,” said Amanda.

My mother has ice magic.

We went to the garden to train.

Amanda followed us too.

“Good luck master,” said Amanda.

My mother can control ice and water, and I can control all elements.

This is a pretty uncommon talent.

Most magicians can only control one element.

Although I can control all elements, I preferred to focus on ice magic because I admire my mother so much.

The reason why is that there is a limit on how much mana you can store. If your mana is limited, then you should focus on the element with the largest capacity.

Elements that you don't have an affinity consume an absurd amount of mana, which makes them unfeasible.

But my mother and I are exceptions. We have no limits.

In short, we're both strong.

I'm grateful to my mom for teaching me lots of magic tricks.

“All right, let's start with something easy.”

“Okay, mom.”

My mother attacked me with an ice spear.

I defended myself using ice magic.

I blocked her attack and dodged the spear.

“Great job, son!”

“Thanks, mom.”

My mother attacked me again. This time she made a massive ice pillar and threw it at me.

I jumped out of the way, and then I cast water magic on it.

Water magic is much more efficient than ice magic for destroying large objects.

My mother's ice pillar shattered into pieces and froze the surrounding air.

“Nice! Let's do this some more.”

“Okay.”

As I practiced, I fell deeper into thought about my mom's situation.

What if my mom found out everyone hated me?

Would she still be okay?

I'm not sure.

For now, I have to keep this a secret.

“Next, I want you to create a shield of ice in front of you,” my mom said.

“Okay, mom.”

I created an ice wall.

Then my mother attacked the wall with another ice spear.

“You're improving quickly. Next, I want you to use that same wall to block off the entrance to your house.”

I created a second ice wall in front of our door.

“Excellent! You can defend against anything now.”

“Thank you, mom.”

“Okay, next. I want you to trap me inside the ice wall.”

I trapped my mother inside the ice wall.

“Great job!”

We practiced until it got dark.

“Okay son, it's getting late. Time to go back.”

“Yeah, thanks, mom.”

We went back to our house.
