Chapter 3: STUDY DAYS

MC POV.

With the books in front of me I set out for a night of intense reading.

I should start with this one (mana, magic and magical phenomena) if I want to not only use magic but create spells I should start by understanding what is mana'.

starting his reading, silence reigned in the place only sometimes interrupted when he turned to a different page or when he stopped to eat a fruit.

...

after a few hours of reading he had already finished reading the first book and was already half way through the second one, he knew some things about the magic of this world thanks to the novel but he still needed to know the basics of the books if he wanted to understand better what he already knew.

It was at that moment that he realized one particular thing about his memories.

'I can't remember these things too clearly? no... there are still things that are a little fuzzy, yet I don't think my mind has ever been that clear before'.

"I don't feel it's anything drastic or too special, my body and magic are still as mediocre as ever".

It didn't seem to be that important so I downplayed it and went on with my business.

"Young master Elleric, as you ordered, we have brought your supper."
"Ah, yes, leave it over there."

The maid came in with a cart full of luxurious food.

"I take my leave now young master Elleric, please do not hesitate to call me again if you need anything else".

after dismissing the maid I decided to take a break from my reading to have dinner

while I was cutting my well cooked steak I started to think about some curious things about the magical awakening and the blessing of the system.

although the magical awakening and the blessing of the system are the two most popular systems of power in this world, there are still other powers such as ki, draconic aura, divinity and miasma, of course, the system adapts and assimilates the other forms of energy, but still not born of it.

all humanoid races except for the devils and possibly the deities should awaken the system at the age of 12 years while the magical awakening would depend on the talent and potential of the people, not everyone has the ability to use magic after all.

'the vast majority of the great figures have amazing innate abilities or bloodlines that I could never attain'.

with a sigh I leave my empty plate on the table to resume my reading.

"knowledge is power they say, I hope it is so".

...

the rays of sunlight illuminated the room through the window indicating me that it was already morning, at night I had finished reading the third book of basic theory and right now I was reviewing some things from the other two.

today and tomorrow I should concentrate on doing simple things with my mana, filling a glass of water, levitating a sheet of paper, etc, see where my current limits are, after that I will have time for more complicated things'.

with my head full of nothing but magic I felt light, none of the problems that were tormenting me yesterday felt so heavy now.

putting the books away I called for a maid to take my dinner and bring me a cup of tea while I went to wash up.

...

"so, if I take a thread of mana, take it out of my body and try to get it to change its properties to a particular element... nothing happens huh?"

I was currently practicing some simple things that they only half-mentioned in the book.

"I think I understand it a little better now, the mana generated by the mage and the mana found in the air is essentially the same and we can only transform it to an element as long as it has some thread connected to us, likewise to use magic the mana must be connected to the mage so we can't use ambient mana to spam super powerful magic."

'well, that's just basic and still has a lot of holes to fill so I'm just going to take it as a grain of salt.'

in this way the time passed, I had been completely caught up in my study of magic, only interrupted by the maids bringing food and my mother and little sister fussing over me, I was a bit annoyed by the interruption so I only responded vaguely and dismissed them.

i had already started my reading with the advanced magic theory book and honestly it was even more difficult than i expected, from magic circuits, elementalization, the right amount of mana and much more just for the most basic spells a mage can use, in the book the author strongly recommends to study in depth the spells from skill scrolls you can buy or find in the low level dungeon.

"and that's what I'm trying to do but why is it so hard? let's see, when you get a skill or magic from a skill scroll the knowledge of it is burned right into your head, how to use it, how much mana to spend, the time it takes to form, etc."

my study was interrupted again, it was getting annoying.

no, calm down, I think sleep is getting to me, I haven't slept in almost 4 days'.

when I opened the door I saw Laura, one of the main maids, normally they always stay close to my father in case he has any need.

"good morning young master Elleric, the master of the house requests your presence in the dining room".

'Is the old fox up to something else? no, today is sunday so...'

"I understand, I'll be down in a few minutes.

...

I went downstairs wearing a black shirt with a gray vest and a white tie, accompanied by a black dress pants and shoes and gloves of the same color.

when I arrived at the dining room the family was gathered again with one more extra that I could not fail to recognize from the novel, a tall man with white skin and black hair combed back with rectangular glasses and a face that you would forget the next day but an aura of seriousness that would make you remember him again, dressed in a dark blue formal suit, a light blue cloak on his back and a small book tied to his right hip.

his name is Francis Ocellet Malioph, teacher of class A of the 1st and 2nd year of the ULTIMA academy.

"You are here, good, now that everyone is here let me introduce you, Mr. Francis Ocellet, here are my two oldest sons who will be attending the ULTIMA academy this year."

"Greetings, my name is Caesar Drackoss von Lionflame."

"Greetings, my name is Elleric Falco von Lionflame."

"Caesar, Elleric, I have come to pick you both up to take you to the academy, your father has told me that the maids have prepared everything beforehand but if you still have anything you would like to take with you I would like you to pick it up now, after all you will be living away from home for 4 years"

With that said both Caesar and I said our goodbyes and went to get what we would be taking with us.

I took a bag and put all my savings and the advanced theory book in it, thinking about it for a moment I also put some pairs of expensive gloves and my study notes, with that I could say that I had with me everything I would need for a while.

when I left my room I found someone that I was not surprised to see here...

"mother..."

"Elle I... I'm so sorry, I know I'm not a good mother even so, still... please take this with you..." I opened my eyes... it was a necklace with a silver locket that I had planned to give Caesar when he had his magical awakening, but at that time was when father had started to despise me since he had found a suitable successor

it is also the locket that the Elleric I wrote would have used to create his phylactery after becoming a lich.

hahh... not if these are even my own emotions or those of the previous owner of this body'.

"Elle yo-" what I was about to say was interrupted when I hugged her.

"it's ok mom, I'll be ok..."

'but it doesn't feel bad'

the hug lasted only a few moments before I let her go, Mr. Francis is a busy man after all.

returning to the dining room, I found that Caesar still hadn't arrived, we waited a few more minutes and finally he appeared with a big bag on his back, I knew that part of what he was carrying was his collection of monster cards that he liked so much.

seeing that we were ready, Mr. Francis indicated us to accompany him, at the doors of the family mansion there was parked a luxurious dark blue carriage adorned with golden details, no doubt it was striking, even more seeing the huge beasts that pulled it, with its shiny white fur and its majestic wings these were none other than the Abraxan, descendants of the pagasus of Greek mythology.

"very well children, this carriage pulled by abraxan will be your transportation, the time of arrival to your destination is estimated in 6 hours, I suggest you to rest while you are there".

"And you Mr. Francis? Won't you travel with us?"

that's true, from the way he talks it doesn't sound like he's going to join us in the carriage, well, he probably still has a lot of other students to pick up.

"I still have work to do, don't worry, when you arrive at your destination you will be guided by a designated student appointed to join the other freshmen."
