"I'm being haunted by the spirits of the leaky ceiling." (Jason)
"What?" (Rick)
"While we were at the class, drops of water kept falling on my head. But whenever I look up I couldn't find where that god damn waterfalls?!" (Jason)
"..." (Rick)
Rick couldn't find a word to utter. Seeing Jason telling weird things with a serious face is probably shocking for him.
Right now we are sitting in the cafeteria. The morning lessons are over and we are having our lunch break. We sit at the table right next to the door of the cafeteria after getting our meals. At our table, I, Jason, Rick, Matt, Mason, and Lucas. We are friends from back in middle school. Not all of us are at the best friends level but still we are all on good terms.
Rick Ortiz. When we were in middle school he was in the next classroom. He is a good guy but I never have talked much with him while we were in middle school. I don't know
PE class was the last two hours of the afternoon right after the history class. History class little bit boring. Maybe it's because everyone was waiting for the PE. I'm not sure about the others but I definitely can't wait for it. It will be the first time for me to see to what extent mana enhances my physical abilities. When the bell ringed everyone rushed to the changing rooms. I can't wait to show my strength to Jason, once again. We compete against each other since we were kids. I think this is one of the things that made us best friends. Our endless efforts to surpass one another. The changing room was crowded. I get to the less crowded side and started changing my uniform into PE clothes. PE clothes school gives us is a basic white shirt and black shorts. At the back of the white shirt is the school's emblem. "Hey, Oscar ?" "Hmm? Rick?" "Did you hear that PE teacher, Mister Weaver made the Cla
"Start!" With the signal of mister Weaver, the football match started. Oscar gets the ball and rushed to the enemy goal. From the enemy team, someone with blonde hair tried to block his path but Oscar passed the ball to his teammate who is behind him. The teammate who got passed by Oscar, Matt, quickly caught the ball and move towards the enemy goal. The same blonde came to get the ball but Matt gets past him in an instant with his footwork. But after the blonde two more people were blocking his path. One of the two was Owain. He just rushed to Matt and before he could escape he get the ball. After getting the ball Owain moved forward. When Jason saw this he was surprised by it. they didn't plan it like this. In their plan, Owain was supposed to pass the ball to him if he caught it. "Owain! What are you doing ?" "Do not worry I will score a goal!" "Is that so ?"
After the match, I just lie on the bench. My legs hurt so much! I have to find a way to fix this problem. In the future, this kind of problem could possibly cause my death. Girls already started to play, almost everyone focused on the match. So, when I heard footsteps I was startled. I opened my eyes and looked at the person. "I got some ice for you." "Thank you, Jason. But how did you..." He put the ice bag in his hand on my legs. I didn't think anyone would look at my legs. "I thought it was weird that you can be faster when you want but aren't using it. Then when you were leaving the field, you walk weirdly." "Thanks again." "What are friends for." The coldness of the ice relieved some of my pain. I can feel my muscles starting to relax. Albeit slowly. While I was focusing on my legs Jason sat down right next to me. The
"I will now teach you about the basics of water magic. While I can't really teach you how I do it, I can still guide you so you can grasp it yourself." Kairi stood in front of me and declared with a firm voice. We are now at the cave. After school, I went home and change my clothes, and had a meal. After that, I directly came to the cave. Now that I pay attention to the path of the cave I was surprised. The cave is at least ten meters underground. But thanks to the tiny tunnels Akane opened air circulation is quite good. After the emergency yesterday, she was asleep for about twenty hours. When she finally woke up she was quite energetic. When I asked the reason it made me a little surprised. "When we made the contract I gave Spirit Mana to your body as you know. And as your Aether Organ began to near completion, it produce more mana. It isn't complete yet so the amount is minimal. But that amount flows to my body
I think I grasped something. After I safely canceled the incomplete [Liquid Form: Water], I asked Kairi to show me its basic and base forms of it. From there I observed the forms closely. The difference between the basic and base form is really difficult to cross. The basic form is essentially achieving to mimicking the water as you match your body with mana. Mimicking the flow of water with your mana flow is the first step. The second step is covering your whole body with that mana flow while it is still in the state o water mimicking. What makes the second step hard is the fragility of the mana flow. With the slightest mistake, the flow became unstable. That's the gist of the basic form. The basic form gives a defense that can ignore almost every novice level spell. It doesn't really make you able to turn your body into liquid or water. Instead, it gives some of the properties of the water. This is where the abil
(Agustin POV) I need to find something. I should at least have some clues about what happened back then. The more I think about it, the more it becomes blurry and unrecognizable. The other two aren't even aware of what is going on. Well, I'm not exactly aware of everything too. Right now, I'm just trusting my instincts. They are screaming at me that something is wrong. Why did I leave the church? Where did I go after leaving the church? There are lots of questions on my mind. The other two are even worse. They are completely traumatized. Whenever they remember the church they start shaking and pass out soon after. I'm looking for clues now. Both to solve this weird feeling and to find something to please the boss. I need to complete this mission to get close to him. Ugh... Things I do for her... I should get things straight. We came into the church. We were looking for
I grasped the basics of water magic last night. Furthermore, I studied the [Liquid Form]. I could only do the basic form for now. The base form is my utmost limit. It puts a huge strain on both my mind and body. I can't manage it for more than a minute. "Haah... I need to sleep more..." I need a better sleep schedule. I study magic for the last few days and because of it, I don't get enough sleep. "I will think about it later. For now, I should wash my face. I need to prepare for school too." Hang in there myself, tomorrow is Friday. After that, I will have the weekend to rest. Ah, I can't wait. After having breakfast and preparing for school I left the house. Mom left just before I did. She's working early hours today. Mom works as a nurse at the hospital. She's working hard to ensure our livelihood. Unlike my useless father... I left home and st
"Today we gathered here to congratulate our member Jason for his courage and success." Rick said with a serious voice. We were gathered at one of the empty classrooms. All of the boys of our circle were gathered here for this occasion. Even Ted joined us today after hearing the news. "Do we really have to do this? It feels embarrassing." Jason said from the corner he was sitting. I can imagine but I'm not going to sympathize with him this time. Because we all know that all of this embarrass him. Why are we doing this? Because that's what we do to our closest friends. "Silence! Embarrassment isn't important right now. What's important is that you are taking a girl to date." (Rick) "...You are just jealous don't you." (Jason) "...yes... Anyway, the time of the date is tomorrow. We shall discuss what to do-" (Rick) "Guys, I don't think this is appropriate. I mean this is
