(Why did the title of this chapter sound like a light novel name?) I changed my clothes and prepared for the date. We are going to meet at the bus station. The ride from Daxhoull to Izolis is forty-five minutes. We would spend like five or six hours there. And maybe some more time when we return. "I'm leaving mom!""Take care of yourself. And don't be late.""Don't worry. I won't be late, mom." I left the home and start walking towards the station. It's rather close by. About fifteen minutes of walking from my house. There are about forty minutes till the time we agreed to meet. Better be early than late. The weather is nice today, sunny and warm. We can leisurely spend our time without worrying about sudden rain or anything. When I arrived at the bus station it was filled with people. They were waiting for a different bus, I think. And yes, about a minute later a bus came and everyone

It happened when Carla went to buy some apple candy. She was so eager to try them that I leave her to go and taste as much as she wanted. I'm not that good with apple candy after all. I just can't stand them. My gramps tried to make me eat them when I was little. Even after all these years I still can't stand them. I was just wandering by myself in the crowded street. There are numerous stalls on both sides of the street. I wasn't far away from Carla, so she could easily find me. She easily lost track of her surroundings. I usually stand next to her but those apple candies make me sick. I can't even get close to them. But suddenly I felt the very core of my being furiously shook. Even when I first saw Kairi, I didn't feel like this. I felt death looming over my neck. I slowly turned my head back. There I saw him. A tall man with black curly hair. He wasn't someone I could easily describe. He wasn't handsome nor ugly. And yet he wasn't averag

Ugh... I'm sleepy. I studied magic runes all night. I couldn't sleep much because of it but thanks to it my arsenal of magic runes grew well. Aside from the water runes, I have ten runes now. From these ten runes, four of them are those I previously studied. Float, rotate, shape and force. For the new ones I have; fall, exchange, coat, sharpness, durability, and attraction. From the new magic, runes Exchange was the hardest to learn. The Exchange allows two different things to exchange their positions. It can be said to be some sort of teleportation. It requires injecting mana into the thing which will be used as a substitute beforehand. If I can study the whole process I might be able to learn Space Magic. The fall is the exact opposite of the float. It makes things fall. The principle behind this is to apply gravity until the target hits the ground. Its usage is vague but if it's used correctly it is a deadly weapon. U

After we joined the club we talked for a while. We just chatted, nothing serious or important, just casual talk. I realized that moments like this bring comfort to my mind, I need them more in my life. I didn't realize how much I pushed my mind for these last two days, three if I count today too. I constantly think of a way the use mana better than before. Not just this, after the encounter with the trio that searching for mana stone I have been on edge. I am just a kid. I need more time to relax. Maybe I should do meditation from now on. Anyway, I am hopeful of this whole club thing. Just talking with them made me feel refreshed. After our little chat everyone left for home. Right now is early September so there is still some time before it gets dark. I'm planning to practice more about mana string tonight. I put water drop training on hold for now. Mana string is more useful to me for the moment. But I have to find a w

After she drank it, we waited. The wait was unnerving. I don't remember ever being this nervous. I know that it won't hurt, aside from that I have no idea. Still, the possibility of it being dangerous was enough to make me nervous. This liquid mana is mysterious. I pushed her to drink it. It is not the most ethical thing but with this, I can trust her now. Trusting someone with a world-changing secret wasn't an easy matter. The existence of mana and magic is enough to create chaos that would change the world. And now that there are threats around the corner, I need an ally I can trust. "I don't feel anything different. Was it supposed to do something?""I don't really know. Let me check it." Once again I activated my eyes. I can see the faint mana her body posses. It is a success, I guess? There isn't a construct like Aether Organ in her body. So it did cause another change in her body. I'm not sure about but her
