“ However, not starving is one thing, growing up with power and riches is another. I love being a noble, little brother. I think I am very suitable for enjoying the luxury and power of the world. Don’t you think so ? “ Davina asked him. Morde stayed silent. “ The girl ! you just bring me the girl. I will dissolve the debt between us. How about it ? “ Davina asked, pointing at Rina’s picture. Morde disagreed. He may not know what was the exact power of his family, but he does have a hunch. Now, looking at the paintings and Davina’s lavish quarters, he could fine tune it even more. However, as someone who studied the mystic arts, there is one thing he will abide by, even when all other principles are lost. ‘ one must not meddle with time ‘ Whatever power his sister has, it has something to do with prediction. He will do as she asks. He will find Rina, and tell her to run. Run to a far and remote place, so that no one will be able to find her again.
Rina was shocked with the revelation she had. In her past, this entire wall would have been gone, being blasted off by the dimensional crack. Even if one were to say some official is touched in the head just enough to try and save citizens, thus, treks through the flooding waters to reach their village ! then ? ! By then, the water level would have released, by then, the buoy wall would float down to its stand, resembling a real wall. Even if Sherlock Holmes himself came to investigate, unless they are investigating the flood as a deliberate accident caused with ultimate malicious intent, not a single person would see the clues at all. The Villain would get away with it all ! If not for herself. ‘ Damn ! Doesn’t this make me a savior ? ‘ Rina grumbled. She worked diligently to open the valves opposite to the village side. This way, water will flow out into the desert of demons.Opening these valves is very easy for her as a space-mancer. However, there are too many of them, so it
Rina opened her eyes, looked at the star studded ceiling in her hut. This.. isn’t this their home in the village ? What in the world is she doing here ? Oh! Wait ! She must have died. However, even if she died , she did not think she would return here ! After all, they were cold, hungry and … ‘PLOP’ ! ‘Wet. ‘ she finished her thought, just after a fat raindrop fell on her forehead. On the side, her mother got up, curses in her mouth. Her dear parents. They were ever so happy to sell her off to the royal school of magic, as would the rest of their children. In their life, perhaps giving birth to enough children so that they could live off hand outs is their most proud work. Unfortunately, there was no scam worse than the royal academy. In Bohemia, the populace is full of mages. They may not be powerful, but there are many… The truly powerful only ever come from the nobles. Like all people, Rina also thought blood made all the difference when it came to magic, but it se
Rina observed the boy in front of her. They could have guessed he was demon kin ever so easily. There are just far too many telling points. His skin never tans. His hair is too black. He covered up his forehead with bangs, but Rina could see traces of two black spots, the telling point of where the horns are supposed to be. His fingers are tapered, so are his toes. Sure, he cut the nails off to make it look normal, but Rina could see, unlike humans whose finger nails are wide, Edam’s are getting curled into themselves ready to become claws. On top of that, she remembered Edam always went to the flower field in the morning, despite being punished many times. It’s a demon trait of being unable to resist the temptations. No matter what, since she is not the person whom he had a crush on, it’s impossible for her to control this guy. So, she just had to make him her accomplice. After all, in a school, if there’s only one person rejecting the admission of the royal academy, which
“ Song Rina “ The teacher called. Rina got up obediently. In fact, awakening is not something that one experiences while conscious. They lie down in a specific bed with the blessed tree’s leaf or branch, depending whether you are in a village or city, and come out when a specific amount of time has passed. However, citizens of the capital have access to the Blessed tree itself. You pay gold to lie under it, more gold you can pay, more time you can stay, more clear you are on your talent. However, the key point here is talent lies with the genes. Just because a random nobody spent a year underneath the blessed tree does not mean he could awaken as a sage. In the first place, you have to hold the potential to become a sage. Thus, with her limited talent, this leaf was enough to awaken her. In her last life, she did not know what her magic talent was until the time she died. This time around, she probed her magic core as soon as she walked out. It felt hollow. Hollow ? Hollo
The skill Rina chose was a simple skill, but of ‘SSS’ rating. Not that they know that at this point. After all, ratings are a new world thing, still ten years away. However, Rina knew that the skill orbs with black edge, encasing orange glow are all superb skills. She crumbled the skill expectantly. [ Inch Blade ] [ a blade the size of an inch that could cut through anything. ] The skill explanation said. No more. Nothing other than that. What the ?! Isn’t this an SSS skill ? What in the world is she supposed to do with a blade the size of an inch ? Rina was in tatters inside, but she did not show it outside. After all, this is an SSS level skill. This is still far more than what she would get when she attends the royal academy. “ Thanks, Sir. “ She said, and moved aside. Edam came up. He looked at her as he selected the skills. His hand moved to ‘otherworld search ‘. Rina frowned. He moved forward. His hands moved to the other skill that’s glowing slightly orange.
Edam did as Rina said.His eyes widened in surprise as he felt the magic move. Rina moved back, allowing Edam to have his moment. First, the smell intensified, turning into a sharp tang of chemicals. Then, the water turned almost black. The reed in the middle of the swamp started growing extremely fast. Just as the water turned clear, there was a boat load of dead frogs and tadpoles floating atop the water. Then, even the dead frogs started decomposing. The water turned slightly murky, then extremely clear. There were blind white fish swimming all over in the water. The reed has grown to the height of two storied houses, with a gigantic leafy foliage atop it. Rina watched the entire process in fascination. As the reed grew and grew, she recognized what it was. It’s elephant reed. The elephant rope, which is used to tie the elephants and hanging bridges is made out of this reed. It’s a bit of a rare plant, given it’s considered a crossover from the demonic continent. She d
With the help of her inch blade, it was easy to make the rough basket with vines. She first sharpened a small thumb sized branch into a wooden nail. Then she split the bamboo branches into perfect two and half foot pieces, and arranged them on top of one another, forming a nine pointed star. She made a small hole on top of the nail, and inserted a small branch through it so her nine branches wouldn't move. Then she started threading the vines through the branches circularly, like a spider weaving her web. Half way through, she combined two branches into one to create that basket structure. In the end, she threaded the last vine through all the branch ends to close it. In the end what appeared in front of her was a rough tote bag style basket, which may not hold fine stuff, but could carry plenty of rough things. In the end, she trimmed off the wooden dowel she used for the center, and placed a rough bamboo chip on top of that, so that pointy end won't hurt anyone. Her basket read
