Incarnation System: angel of wisdom as system warden

My magic training with Warlord

After, the big day of my job ritual. Aunt Rias went back to her territory, while my mother along with few maids decided to give me magic training.

In the Zechs household, their are no men's and the reason is my sweet mother, according to Julia before my mother's engagement flocks of mens used to do everything and anything just to say niceties to her, their were a few who just wanted to establish a connection or praise her for rewards. Most of them just wanted to get between her legs and after my so-called father got remarried she simply lost trust in men. 

That's why, most of her subordinates were ladies and even in them alot of them were slaves. That means they were from different races. Julia as I said before is a half- ogre, usually except for human, elves, dwarves and beast folks every other race is referred as forgotten races because the four dominant races mentioned above don't accept them as a race because of their secretive nature and their offensive tendencies, small age life . Unlike bloodline affinity of mine which are referred as a trait, different races have a particular race specific stigma. For Ogre they are their heightened senses and their speed but as nothing comes for free in this world ogre can grow up fast unlike human but they can only live upto 20 - 25 years of age. They also get race specific skills from the world's Law

But people like Julia are referred as hybrid or mixbloods and are regularly sold as slaves because forgotten races as well as Human don't care about them. It's not like pure blooded forgotten races aren't sold, it's just that they are costly and only people like athanasia and other nobilities can afford them. As a half human, her life span is the same as human but even though she has the same stigma like ogre she doesn't have their race specific skills.

Usually, Ogre are referred as above average in looks because of their human like looks and slim but sturdy and tall for male while voluptuous for females that's why they are used as sex slaves, only difference between human and ogre are they have horns on their forehead and they have different skin colour varying from one to another.

Julia is my first teacher but unlike my mother she can't use mana but that doesn't make her. She is a dual energy holder with Dao and Qi. Yes, as you have expected there are dual and triple energy holder as well. Which energy type and how many type you can hold is something which is referred as birth talent and when I asked Rias why I have all the energy types. She simply said no body knows the powers of the heir to the throne of darkness because the few people who were born with the same title never left behind a legacy and nobody knows why. Well, I don't really have all types of energies because Uriel created the most primordial energy type that can fill the place of all other energy types.

Julia taught me sword arts or to be specific katana style, I haven't seen her once use her skills or any other way of using her energy but all I know is that she has been fighting alongside my mother from past twenty years and is also acknowledged by her. She uses katana to get the most out of her ogre heightened senses and speed but she also uses daggers to fight against multiple enemies and that's why she taught it to me too. I also prefer speed over strength, atleast for now as I am still weak and in a learning phase. I also can use speed for my advantage with pure sense but that is just bonus.

" So, today first we are going to check your skills or to be specific your dark attribute skills." My mother said.

We were currently in the backyard alongside Julia and Lily, they both were standing behind on both sides of my mother. While my mother was sitting under a umbrella with a table and chairs we usually use for outing.

" Okay " I replied with a calm and indifferent tone.

[ Skill /Shadow creation/ activated.]

When I heard this notification, I suddenly felt the same veins which were connected to my eyes from my heart to activate my stigma but this time the veins were a little lager in numbers and they went to my feet from my heart.

After this I felt a tinge of tickle in my foot palm. My shadow, unlike before completely turned pitch black as if devoid of light and spread, covering 1 meter of length in a circular format with me in the centre. I have done this before as well but at that time instead of activating the skill first I imagined how I wanted my shadow to but it failed, this shadow will only follow my imagination if I put enough tension on my body and will. Unlike some novels which I have read, this was completely nerve racking and it consumed literally my whole reserve of CS (cosmic energy) but I got the result I wanted and a tentacle made of shadow, nearly half of my height appeared a few inches away from me. I notice something at that time but ignored it because the shadow tentacle alongside my shadow went back to normal and I was gasping for air with my clothes drenched in sweat.

The same thing happened again with this 1 meter radius circle. The shadow near my foot started to climb my foot but instead of climbing completely it stopped near my ankle and started caressing and snuggling me. It seemed like it was trying to find something.

'Uriel?' is the only word I said and ms. angel started explaining

' I thought it was just carrying a part of your will by connecting to you or it wants to become one with you, as you are it's creator. It seems this shadow hates light or everything except dark, as you are the best source of dark around it. This shadows tries to take over you but as it's creator it comes to a stop before it can even reach you.' she concluded again completely opposite to her soothing voice.

' Does it mean it's alive ?' I asked completely ignoring that my own creation was trying to take over me.

' Every energy is alive but they don't respond except some special cases like your shadow because of it's innate hatred or weakness to light.' she answered.

' Then let's test something.' 

After I said that I tried to create and connect the energy veins from my heart to eyes. This is something Uriel told me to do so that once I get used to the feeling of activating my Stigma without the help of system, I can activate skills and stigma as a instinct or reflex.

It took a few seconds but after the process my eyes glowed a little more. When I looked down on the circular shadow covering me under my feet with me as a centre something unimaginable for Uriel happened.

' Ho-how?, I thought after activating a light stigma the shadow would disappeared or atleast stay away from you but instead....' 

My shadow caressing my ankle came to an halt and went back under my feet. Suprised, I had a idea and tried to create the same tentacle I created before but this time instead of squirming like a real tentacle it just stopped their as if waiting for my command.

'.... It became obedient and started following your orders without even a slightest tension on your body and will.' Uriel completed her sentence with a surprised look.

' But it's too energy consuming.' 

After I said that I deactivated both my skill and stigma and was gasping for air while kneeling.

" Lucas! What the hell were you doing ?" I heard my mothers voice.

Even though it seemed like I talked with Uriel for 10-15 minutes. In reality only ten seconds have passed and my mother with the two maids were studying my skill. They only came out of their focused thoughts when I fell on the ground gasping for air.

" Nothing,...I was.... just ... testing something." I was only able to say this in the middle of my breaths.

" Don't do something like that. It's dangerous because if something happened, we won't be able to do anything, I mean who will be able to anything about something we don't even know." she said with a firm voice, narrowing her eyes while kneeling and supporting my back with her hand.

".... Lady athanasia, I think this was only his high consumption of mana and you also know that." Lily said, she was standing on the left side while the right was taken by Julia, who as expected had worried expression instead of her always serious face.

"STILL!!?" My mother yelled.

sigh...

To which I, alongside Julia and Lily sighed. No one can change this woman's overprotectiveness and possessiveness on her son.

After I recovered from the my low CS, I was given a short tea break to recover my energy. While we talked about small stuff.

" Lucy, do you know about magic cultivation ?" My mother asked while taking a sip of tea. she was sitting on the same position as before while I was sitting opposite to her.

Magic cultivation, unlike Dao cultivation which has different ways with different outcomes, Magic cultivation only has one goal– to increase the cultivators mana reserves and making it purer. when a mana user spends all his mana, his body automatically refills it but it takes a considerable amount of time. The only way to overcome this difficulty is by increasing your mana reserve or hastening it's recovery, both are possible by magic cultivation.

" Yes " I replied.

" Than you will also know different spells and magic tiers ?" she asked when she heard my immediate reply.

Tiers, something for mana users as important as World's Law!!
