"I can be satisfied with that."
"I ACTUALLY DID IT!" he celebrated.
"That was a beautiful use of magic, Phize, I'm sure I haven't taught those spells yet, but nevertheless, quite impressive," she praised him.
"For a kid, he's pretty cunning, I never expected him to do that. I let my guard down," her thoughts lingering.
"You may now put back your sword," she commands.
He places his sword back into the sword stand and then proceeds to go back in line.
Pallitra approaches him and whispers.
"You were awesome!"
"You have a knack for magic, I have to commend you for that," Hasha compliments.
"CAN'T WAIT TO TELL THESE TO MOM AND DAD!" he daydreams.
Class finished after a few hours, and upon Vhint and Phize arriving home...
"MOM, MOM, GUESS WHAT?"
"Hm?"
"I fought Ms. Hasha at our school today."
Vhint and Lexia look at him with surprised faces due to understanding his words a little differently from what was intended.
"WHA-" Vhint pauses in shock.
Lexia asks to confirm her suspicions, "YOU FOUGHT HER?"
"Yeah, mom! I used a sword."
"A SWORD?! A S-SWORD?!"
She faints and Vhint swiftly runs to her aid.
"WHA- WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS DURING DINNER!" he says nervously.
"Hm? Why?"
"It only occurred to me later that due to my wording, I had caused a misunderstanding that was resolved with a lengthy talk at dinner," he recalled.
After dinner...
"THAT'S MY SONNY!" Vhint boasts.
"Phew, I thought you hit her, you should've told me it was sword practice... Of course, my son would never do a thing such as hurt his teacher."
He smiles in response.
"Oh, wait. I have an idea," it lingers in his mind.
"Mom, I'll be going out for a while!"
Vhint gives him a thumbs-up, "Okay, then, Phize! Stay safe and don't stay out for too long!"
He goes outside the door, outside the hotel, and passes through the buildings. Upon passing the buildings, he stumbles upon a dark corner.
"I'm back! Now that I've learned more magic, I should be able to decipher and understand what I saw last time."
"Let's start with a simple spell," he thought.
He chants, "WATER!"
A magic circle appears with faint lines almost invisible to the eye, known as magic lines.
There it is! I see them!
"Let me try reading them," he pondered.
A few minutes later upon examining the spell, he found something.
"Its format, I can tell, it's something similar to a program! But how can I manually change its values?" he questions.
He tinkers more into it but all efforts proved to be worthless.
"I can't seem to get it. It could be useful but I can't always reach it using my left hand during battle..." he complains.
"Wait... I have an idea."
He thinks very deeply, "If mana has something to do with this, and since by flowing my mana, I can produce magic, then perhaps if I change the flow of energy inside me..."
"But how do I know which value I should change?"
"Whenever I conjure something up, I use my imagination and the magic output is usually almost always the same if I manage to flow the mana in my body correctly," he concludes.
"Nothing hurts to try..." he chants, "WATER!"
"Let me try... INCREASING ITS SPEED. NOW THINK! IMAGINE THE WATER FLOWING VERY FAST, INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE FLOW OF MANA! AND THEN..." he apprehends.
Water spouts from the magic circle at a faster rate.
He smiles upon seeing his efforts.
"IT WORKED! That's practice."
"Hold up. With the information that magic can work similarly to programs, then I can also cause them to stop..." he concludes.
"With one error, a program can stop running or not run at all, such as adding a little unnecessary comma or dot."
He motivates himself, "Let me try."
"But how do I do something like that?"
"I have an idea. Maybe a sudden burst in the flow of mana, wait no. Maybe, if I try to add a little extra something... an unnecessary part for mana to flow in for a second. But where? With the knowledge that mana flows with blood, it would be logical to make it flow where blood doesn't flow... Hair? I should try that," he perceives.
"WATER!"
He tries to recall what he has just stated, "Now, I'll try to make it flow to my hair, and then..."
Another magic circle forms from his right hand but it instantly breaks and disappears upon forming.
"IT WORKED!" he celebrates.
"That should be enough for my little experiment. Time to head back."
"With this, I've gotten a lot stronger," he confidently relays to his mind while forming a smile on his face.
Another day goes by, while in school...
8:05 AM
"I'm so happy today!" Phize declares.
"Hm? Why?" she asks out of curiosity.
"Oops, she overhead me," he thought.
"I just found out something yesterday."
"Oh, can you tell me? I wanna know!"
He says something in mind, "Before, I didn't want to share that I knew these things, but that was because I was unable to trust anyone or the thought of this power spreading would be dangerous. But now that I've gotten a new friend, no, a new best friend. I feel like I can open up a bit."
"Sure, but you have to keep it a secret."
"YAY! I'M SO EXCITED!" she gleefully states.
"I'll tell you later at lunch."
12:01 PM
Pallitra confronts him, "Finally! Now, about that discovery..."
"Shouldn't we eat our lunches first?"
"But I wanna know! Or would telling it take long?"
"Hmm..." he gives some thought.
"No, no. It won't take too long."
"See?"
"But let's go to a place where no one can see us."
"Hmm... I think I know just the place where we can go. Follow me."
She stands up and then he follows after her.
"Where are we going?"
"Come! Come!"
He follows her up the stairs. When they reached the top floor, they both stumble upon a door.
"Um, I don't think we should be here," he worriedly says.
"Just follow me!"
She grabs his hand and they both open the door.
The moment the door opened, a whole new world was seen from up above. The wind blew nicely giving a nice breeze with the sun giving enough sunlight to warm them.
"WOAH! This... THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW! I CAN SEE EVERYTHING FROM HERE!" he shouts in excitement upon reaching the edge of the top building.
"This is amazing."
"I promise to keep what you will tell me a secret."
He nods.
"Okay, it has something to do with magic. Here, let's use water magic."
"Here we go."
He chants, "WATER!" he calls out to her, "Pallitra! Come here. Look at these."
He points to the magic lines that are faintly visible to the naked eye.
"Wait, I don't see anything."
"Try to look closely."
She inspects the line he was pointing.
"OH! YOU'RE RIGHT! THERE IS!" she points to the line.
"I discovered it when I was tinkering with magic even before I started school. I tried experimenting on it, and I noticed that there were values like these but I couldn't understand the words yet because I haven't gone to school. But..."
He stops himself and argues with miself, "Wait... am I sure... that she's interested in these things? What is she's just trying to be considerate... Maybe, she'll be weirded out. Just like last time..."
Before reincarnation...
At this moment in time, he was still a young child around 11 years old of age.
"MOM! DAD! LOOK!" the little boy points to his computer.
His mother asks him, "What is it?"
"I MADE A PROGRAM THAT CAN TALK TO YOU! AREN'T YOU AMAZED?"
"Isn't it time, that you let go of that?" his father suggests.
"Huh? But... look!" he types in his computer, "It's amazing isn't it?"
"And so? What are you going to do with it? You'll fail at it eventually. Gosh, I'm worried about your future," she proclaims.
"You should just take engineering or even architecture. I heard they give high salaries," his father states.
"Maybe even a lawyer would fit you better," she insists.
"But..."
He was in utter disappointment from hearing his parents' reactions. His eyes started swelling.
A tear comes from his right eye and it drops to the ground.
"They didn't accept my hobbies, the ones I love," he thought to himself.
At 15 years old...
He is in class talking with a girl.
"Look at this," he shows his computer, "I actually plan to be a programmer, it's just exciting to see to be able to control, and to be able to control its outpu-"
"Stop," the girl commanded.
"Huh? B-But... I thought..."
"You're creepy. Don't talk to me."
He goes back to his seat and slowly closes his laptop.
The young student felt pity for himself, he starts crying with the drops from the left eye dropping first onto the tiles of the school.
"They thought I was weird, and it eventually took its toll and I had no more confidence in myself. Which probably explains why no company ever took me in," he explains in mind.
At 19 years old...
He is on a chair in front of a man in an office.
"U-Uh. G-Good Morning!" he stutters, "S-So, I have planned to w-work for you for a long time. I-I know how to program with JavaScript, Python, a-and, wait... M-My name is..."
"And you can stop right there. NEXT!" the man sitting in front of him stops him.
"But, I-I haven't even-"
"Sir."
"Huh?"
"Just leave."
"B-But, w-why? I c-can be of use to your company! P-Please... PLEASE! I HAVE TO FIND A JOB!"
"Sir, let me tell it to you straight. W e a r e n ' t i n t e r e s t e d i n y o u ."
Both eyes release tears as the tear drops fall to the ground.
"Maybe, I should just cut it out. She's not interested in these kinds of things," he said to himself.
Phize tries to stop himself, "A-Actually, never mi-"
"AMAZING!"
"Huh? What did she just say?"
"I never knew you could do these kinds of things! Phize, you're so amazing and smart! Please teach me more."
"A-Are you sure?"
"SURE!"
He smiles.
"So this is how it goes..."
"And this is when I first noticed that talking to Pallitra ultimately calmed my mind and heart. I want to stay by her side," he happily thought.

I feel fluffy and I feel like I want to hug her every day.

Is it time already?""Geez, how are you going to learn anything if you keep sleeping off?""Hehe, sorry, I'm sleepy every day," she sluggishly answers."I just noticed, but we've been best friends for more than a month but we haven't visited each other's houses yet.

It is very dark, barely anything can be made of. Phize slowly regains consciousness in the dark place. "W-What happened..." He notices something wet on his hand. "What is this wet thing?" He retracts his hand and looked at his hand stained with the liquid. He was shocked by what he saw. "Red," he examined. "Is this..." He inhales deeply only for him to end up covering his nose again from the stench. "It smells bad here... what's going on?" he asked. He examines his surroundings. "WHAT?!" Around him were children's skeletal remains, severed body parts, and large amounts of viscera scattered along the floor and walls. "PHH! BLEGH!" he barfs to have witnessed something so unsightly. He coughs. "THIS IS BAD! THIS IS REALLY BAD!" he panicked. He calms himself down, stands up, and explores the area to search for Pallitra. "PALLITRA!" "WAIT! I SHOULD LOWER MY VOICE! SOMEONE MIGHT HEAR ME," he thought. He whispers, "Pallitra. Where are you?" He digs through the corpses and

Hagah raises her index finger and places it near her mouth."Shhh. Take a seat down first."He reluctantly sits down on the old bed."You. You were the one who brought us here, didn't you? I remember. What's your reason for bringing us here?"She grabs a chair and gently sits down."Haydel, she was the mother of all the witches. Witches know most of the ancient magic that is born from this world and is also the creator of most of them. But people despised her power, so she was killed, and so were some of her children..."He wondered, "What is she talking about?""You were wondering why I brought you here, no?"He was surprised by her reaction."It is best to explain from the very beginning since I am very well aware that you would ask questions afterward. So listen carefully..." she continues explaining, "the main reason for our mother's decapitation was because of a certain spell, which is known as Perfect Immortality,

Pallitra is on the table strapped to the chains. "You. How did you get out of the preservation room?" Odenna asks. He chants, "ICICLE BARRAGE!" A magic circle forms from his right hand and icicles shoot toward her. "MAGIC?" She instantly dodges to the right and casts magic. "Magic Bullet!" Within his own thoughts, he unconsciously said, "CANCEL!" Odenna' magic circle breaks and fades out immediately after he thought of the word. "Wh-What happened?" Zagia and the second witch come down the stairs from the ruckus. "What happened?" the second witch asked. Zagia sees Phize sweating nervously looking at his surroundings, "YOU LITTLE PRICK!" "I don't get it... my magic circle disappeared. And I still have a lot of mana inside of me too," Odenna asks as she stares blankly at her hands. "PHIZE! ARE YOU GOOD WITH ROCK FORMATION MAGIC?" Pallitra asks him. "WHAT DO YOU

Inside the Phize's room, a large bulky figure inside the blanket is made out from the bed. A little boy opens the door and shakes the figure."Big brother, it's time to wake up."Lexia opens the door and enters the room."Did your big brother wake up yet?"A little girl hugs Lexia from behind."Mom!" the little girl gleefully said."Oh sweetie, you shouldn't be here."She leads the little boy and the little girl outside. Taking a look upon that large bulk, her face show hints of sadness."Oh, Phize..."She approaches it and then taps one of what seemed to be his shoulder."Phize, I know you're having a hard time and you can skip school if you want to. But you have to move on, I'm sure Pallitra wouldn't be happy if she saw you in the state you're in right now."She leaves the room and closes the door behind her.

He enters the classroom and sits down on his chair.He asked himself, "What am I supposed to do right now...""It's been so long since I've thought about my purpose..."He is reminiscent of what Hagah said to him. Her voice echoes through his mind, "...SO ACT ON YOUR MISSION!..."He looks at the whiteboard Hasha is writing on."So, I'm supposed to do what I'm supposed to, eh? Thinking about it, why was I reincarnated? Wasn't it a second chance for me? Or was there another purpose?" he extrapolated."Wait...""Why am I supposed to fulfill the request of someone I don't know? Sure, I'd like to thank them... but this is my life. I should find my own purpose," he comprehended.......He sighs.

Update about the series
Guys, I really apologize for not updating for so long. My parents do not allow me to write, and it's a lot harder especially since I'm in high school, so I have to focus a bit more on my studies. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning this series or the other, it's just on hold. I'm unsure if I can update at the same time as Mob, but I will try to update in summer as well, so please look forward to it. Please continue to follow my series and follow my twitter if you can. You can simply search my author name and it pops up. Thank you for understanding! And that is all for now!

"To make me say that would have to take a bit of convincing, I'm afraid," Phize stated."Not convinced after seeing my face?""Mmmm, nope. Anyway, have your parents visited you?""Just normal talk," he thought."Nope.""Why?""Busy on taking land domain. Both of them.""I seem to think I'm the only one with decent parents this time around," he thought."I see. Do you miss them?""Why are you here?" she asked."Yikes, she ignored my question. She must really hate me," he surmised, "I've got a long way ahead of me.""If you came here to interrogate me, I insist you get your eyes checked and get out of here. I might get infected by your miasma.""Can't back down. I have to set my status to be someone at least equal to her," he thought."Woah, calm down.

She did not treat me like a human and as implied just now, she still does not. So, if she doesn't treat me like one… why do I have to treat her as such?

It almost seemed like the two were once close.The scenery could be interpreted as a person mourning the comatose of a dear best friend."Dad?" Phize asked with the arrival of the doctors.Vhint faced them with flowing tears."Did we… interrupt something?" Phize questioned."No, no…"Vhint stood up and stepped aside."Please… go ahead."The doctors surrounded Harris.Phize faced his father."Father… do you happen to know Harris? Were you close with him?"Vhint made an obvious excuse. The time it took to get the answer hinted at it."… I'm just an empathetic person. When I saw how badly injured he was, it made me cry.

The children at the beach were playing with a ball. It was very reminiscent of the last happy memory he ever formed back in the past world. … .. . 25 years ago, in Germany. It was a very snowy day. There was a young boy who held the hands of his parents. He was stepping playfully on the snow that formed at their feet. All of them had red beanies and brown boots. His parents wore brown trenches and blue-green gloves, while the little kid had a thick blue sweater and green mittens just right for his size. The kid counted his steps. "One, two, three, four…" The family arrived at a park. There, they met up with another family who also had their son. They had similar attire. They nudged their son. "Come on, Ansgar." The parents of the first and second families met up, leaving the two children be. "U-Uh, 'sup," Ansgar answered nervously. "Hm? Why so nervous?" the other child asked.

EPISODE 145 - The Changes that Occur
On top of a tall and flat building, there was a man who had blonde hair, and brown eyes and wore a clear white robe that extended from his shoulders to his legs. He wore a necklace shaped like a diamond with a star in the middle, and in the middle of that star was an eye, made of metal. He kept watch over the city below."Such beautiful scenery…" he uttered.A man in a thick cream and brown robe approached him, who also wore the same necklace whispered into his ear."Mhm… Mhm… What? Wait, what? Could you repeat that again? You can speak up, we are the only ones here," he permitted.The man took a few steps back and cleared his throat."Ehem… I have received leaks from the mouths of the Alganists. According to what I have heard, they declared that Spellmaster was dead and that they were cheering because they were on their way to conquering the minds of the people.""Wh-What is the meaning of this?!
