Elders' balcony"...Luna Edgar cleared the third stage of the trial... It is time for elders to decide..."After Hector's words, everyone turned towards the elders' balcony. There was a deadly silence, both inside of the balcony and outside of it. All of the elders and the leader of the coven had serious and grim expressions on their faces. Before the situation could turn into something else Elijah talked."We will announce our decision... ten minutes later. Meanwhile, everyone should take some break."Everyone visibly relaxed after hearing Elder Elijah's words, other elders included. When the attention was lifted from the balcony all of the elders turned to each other. Elijah was once again the first to talk."This will give us ten minutes. We should make a decision.""...I find it hard to make. All of us saw it. She awakened the curse mark and even deactivate it by herself. This should be investigated before we can make any decision.""You are right, Camila. But, most of them don't
(Oscar)Jason seemed to be nervous. I don't know what he is exactly thinking but it has to be something to do with Hope. Whenever he seems nervous he often thinks about Hope. Watching him feels both amusing and a bit weird. I guess love really makes people change.We are sitting inside the clubroom right now. It's already after school. Today school was boring as usual. I can't enjoy school as I used to after learning more about the supernatural world but I can't just abandon this life. In the worst case, I can use it as a cover. But still, it's damn boring. Well, the school festival is coming in two weeks' time so I might get the chance to enjoy it. Our club decided to publish a comic book and we have almost finished it."Will you talk already? Watching you this nervous makes me uncomfortable."I said with a bit of irritation in my voice. He keeps fidgeting in his seat for ten minutes already. Anyone would be uncomfortable just sitting near him. I was unfortunately sitting right acros
"Your project?""Yeah. I think with the help of mana, I can complete it."After school, I returned to our base as usual but the moment I stepped inside, Mason came to me and start talking about his project. It was weird to see him this energetic but I think this is a good sign. It's already several days since he woke up and he was kind of depressed all the time. Maybe he is starting to accept what happened to him and trying to move on. That would be the best for him right now.He always had a bit of a nerdy side to him but to think he was working on a project, I never thought it. People are really surprising."What kind of project are you talking about?""It was mostly theoretical but at its core, it was about distributing, collecting, and even connecting energy from long distances. I had trouble finding a decent source of energy to make it work. On paper, every other energy type I tried had failed. They were either too weak or too strong for it.""Distributing... Connecting... Say, M
Hello there. Before we start the story I wanted to give you guys some information about the world of this story.Magic SystemFirst of all mana. Mana is the energy every being who uses magic possesses. Normal human bodies can't produce mana only some with special bloodlines or hybrids can.Magic is the manipulation of the mana. While there will be magic with chants there is also chant less magic. Their difference is that mages have to manually shape the mana to perform magic while chant itself is the automatic shaping of the mana. Mana responds to intent and with putting intent on words chants are created.Magic Circles are visualized forms of the spells. Higher the level of the spell more complex the magic circle.Magic and Spell LevelsLevels of magic are determined by how complex the magic and spells of the said magic and their required mana amounts.<
Ocean... As far as the eye can see everywhere in the ocean. The sky is cloudless and bright blue. It's a weird scene. Everything is blue. I don't know how but I'm standing on top of the water.I can smell the scent of the ocean. If this is a dream, how the hell I can smell? But... It must be a dream. I'm walking on water right now. It shouldn't be possible. Ugh...I saw the water shaking under my feet. It was weird. There is no wave but the water is shaking. I tried to see where this shaking comes from. What I saw was a giant blue cocoon.*****"Hmm...? Ugh... My head hurts, my eyes are itching. What happened to me? Where am I?"I get up from where I was lying. My vision is blurry, I can't see around me. I can only see something blue.My head is hurting like hell. It feels like it's going to crack open. Ugh... What the heck is going on?! I tried to move my bo
Everywhere was a sea. Even my eyes couldn't see anything else. I was standing in the middle of an ocean. It was nerve-wracking. Somehow I'm back in this dream. But everything is clearer this time.The most important thing is, what lies in the center of this ocean. It looked like a cocoon of some sort. Shining at deep blue color. I didn't see this before. Maybe I was too confused to notice? It's possible.I slowly walked towards it. Something tells me I have to reach it. I can feel something between that and myself. Like a connection. It's weird.What is this place? What is the thing inside of the cocoon? What is this weird connection I'm feeling? What is happening? I have so many questions. And only one lead so far. It was as tall as an adult human. Maybe even taller. When I came closer to it a word appeared on my mind. Undine. It is said to be a water nymph who lives for love. They are the creatures of the legends. Bein
"Ugh... So can you at least tell me who you are?""I am a spirit. A Great Spirit to be precise. I don't have the usual firepower of the Great Class Spirits because of my almost empty mana reserves. As I have said I'm from the Undine Clan.""Spirit? Like, as the souls of humans?""Nope. We are simply living beings but made of mana. I can teach you mana later but I don't think you can be able to use it. After all, aside from spirits, no one can use mana correctly. Hmm, now that I think about it if we made a pact maybe you could use mana."Mana? Is it the same one I know of? I hope it is."Really? I don't know if we are talking about the same mana but I'm really curious about it now. Can you tell me more?""Normally pact is performed between spirits grant others to powers for a limited time. But before I went into the cocoon, my father did create a new version of it. This version is permanent and creates a mana link
