2022-04-09 02:30:44(Why did the title of this chapter sound like a light novel name?)
I changed my clothes and prepared for the date. We are going to meet at the bus station. The ride from Daxhoull to Izolis is forty-five minutes. We would spend like five or six hours there. And maybe some more time when we return.
"I'm leaving mom!"
"Take care of yourself. And don't be late."
"Don't worry. I won't be late, mom."
I left the home and start walking towards the station. It's rather close by. About fifteen minutes of walking from my house. There are about forty minutes till the time we agreed to meet. Better be early than late.
The weather is nice today, sunny and warm. We can leisurely spend our time without worrying about sudden rain or anything. When I arrived at the bus station it was filled with people. They were waiting for a different bus, I think. And yes, about a minute later a bus came and everyone

(Third person POV)"Are you okay? You are acting weird for a while now.""Hmm? Yeah, I'm okay. It's just... this is the first time I'm on a date so I get nervous. Especially with a cute girl like you had here with me gets me quite nervous.""C-cute?! *cough* C-can't be helped then. Shall we sit at some cafe to catch our breath?""That would be great."Oscar and Carla went to a nearby cafe. The festival place was huge and there were many cafes around it. There were a lot of tourists coming to see the festival and many of them were couples.The cafe they were sitting at was called White Blossom. It was one of the most popular ones around. They were able to find seats just by luck. Inside was crowded with couples. Similar to them. The reason for the popularity of this cafe was their sweets. They had a special sweet that no one else knows how to make. Its name was 'Lisamarine'. Named after the Saintess L
The First Mage On Earth The Stranger With One Eye
It happened when Carla went to buy some apple candy. She was so eager to try them that I leave her to go and taste as much as she wanted. I'm not that good with apple candy after all. I just can't stand them. My gramps tried to make me eat them when I was little. Even after all these years I still can't stand them.I was just wandering by myself in the crowded street. There are numerous stalls on both sides of the street. I wasn't far away from Carla, so she could easily find me. She easily lost track of her surroundings. I usually stand next to her but those apple candies make me sick. I can't even get close to them. But suddenly I felt the very core of my being furiously shook. Even when I first saw Kairi, I didn't feel like this. I felt death looming over my neck.I slowly turned my head back. There I saw him. A tall man with black curly hair. He wasn't someone I could easily describe. He wasn't handsome nor ugly. And yet he wasn't averag
The First Mage On Earth Precaution
After my date with Carla, I went to the church. It's kind of weird. Why did no one try to restore this church? I mean this place is at the very least couple of decades old. Maybe even a century. You can't find this kind of architecture in the other buildings of Daxhoull.Daxhoull was established about a century ago, nearly at the end of the rebellion towards the old kingdom. I remembered the lesson our history teacher explained to us."After the rebellion of Duke Nanbu, a large battle erupted in the province of Vley. Records said that battles were so fierce that locals had trouble with surviving. On the night of the 13th of January, rebels attack the capital Ariostin. It was the first victory of rebels. They invaded the capital and killed thousands of innocent people.Because of the difficulties in the battle zone, many families start to immigrate. Two of these families come to a land far away from conflict. According to
The First Mage On Earth Monday Morning
Ugh... I'm sleepy. I studied magic runes all night. I couldn't sleep much because of it but thanks to it my arsenal of magic runes grew well. Aside from the water runes, I have ten runes now.From these ten runes, four of them are those I previously studied. Float, rotate, shape and force. For the new ones I have; fall, exchange, coat, sharpness, durability, and attraction. From the new magic, runes Exchange was the hardest to learn.The Exchange allows two different things to exchange their positions. It can be said to be some sort of teleportation. It requires injecting mana into the thing which will be used as a substitute beforehand. If I can study the whole process I might be able to learn Space Magic.The fall is the exact opposite of the float. It makes things fall. The principle behind this is to apply gravity until the target hits the ground. Its usage is vague but if it's used correctly it is a deadly weapon. U
The First Mage On Earth Mythology Club
"I think, I'm cursed by the fairy of the water. Wherever I go, water drops drop to my hair.""Nah, it is just your imagination.""You think so?!"Jason said to me with his hair completely wet and sticking to his forehead."Yeah, I am hundred percent sure."It was me, Oscar! I went overboard and now Jason is afraid of some imaginary fairy. Maybe I should be nicer to him.The rest of the day was monotone, usual classes, mana string practice, and messing with Jason. Because of the tiny amount of mana I have, I can't practice much, yet. As time passes my Aether Organ grows and with it, my mana reserves will grow too.There is a separate building for the clubs in our school. It is a four-story building. Because our school care for students, it gave them permission to form their own clubs. Therefore there are a lot of clubs in this school.The first f

After we joined the club we talked for a while. We just chatted, nothing serious or important, just casual talk. I realized that moments like this bring comfort to my mind, I need them more in my life.I didn't realize how much I pushed my mind for these last two days, three if I count today too. I constantly think of a way the use mana better than before. Not just this, after the encounter with the trio that searching for mana stone I have been on edge.I am just a kid. I need more time to relax. Maybe I should do meditation from now on. Anyway, I am hopeful of this whole club thing. Just talking with them made me feel refreshed.After our little chat everyone left for home. Right now is early September so there is still some time before it gets dark. I'm planning to practice more about mana string tonight. I put water drop training on hold for now. Mana string is more useful to me for the moment. But I have to find a w
The First Mage On Earth Lydia Haller 2
When I activated my eyes and look at her, we were both shocked.I could see mana in her eyes. It is faint but there. She has mana eyes, just like me! Well, maybe not like mine. There is no mana anywhere else on her body."...I-it is t-true. Your eyes are glowing!""Wait! Are you not aware of your eyes?""Huh? M-my e-eyes?"Yeah, she isn't aware of it."You have 'Mana Eyes' just like me.""My eyes aren't like yours... they aren't glowing..."It was a meager voice I wouldn't notice it if I didn't have the mana-enhanced hearing. Is she embarrassed to admit it?"I heard it, you know.""!"She blushed from her cheek to down her neck. I have to admit, she looks cute. She has shoulder-length blonde hair and green eyes. Her height is shorter than mine. Her face, with that blush, is dangerously pretty. But it is time to focus. Yeap, definitely not
The First Mage On Earth A New Ally
After she drank it, we waited. The wait was unnerving. I don't remember ever being this nervous. I know that it won't hurt, aside from that I have no idea. Still, the possibility of it being dangerous was enough to make me nervous. This liquid mana is mysterious.I pushed her to drink it. It is not the most ethical thing but with this, I can trust her now. Trusting someone with a world-changing secret wasn't an easy matter. The existence of mana and magic is enough to create chaos that would change the world. And now that there are threats around the corner, I need an ally I can trust."I don't feel anything different. Was it supposed to do something?""I don't really know. Let me check it."Once again I activated my eyes. I can see the faint mana her body posses. It is a success, I guess? There isn't a construct like Aether Organ in her body. So it did cause another change in her body. I'm not sure about but her

Mason's Project
"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...

Fun for the weekend?
(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
Luna Edgar, The Heir of the Edgar Coven
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
Luna's Trial part 3
And now it's time for her final opponent. This one will be the most difficult one and also where she will use her true power to show everyone what she really can do. Before Hector was announced at the beginning of the third trial, the leader of the coven stand up from her seat. This immediately attacked everyone's attention.Luna furrowed her brows seeing the expression on her mother's face. Almost everyone could only see her expression as nothing but indifference but Luna could read her expression. Eliana was angry. She was going to do something to satiate that anger of hers. This will be definitely something that will make things harder for Luna. And she was absolutely right."...We will use another monster for the third stage. Hector, bring out the convict number 6 and cease that stupid jokes.""!!! Yes, ma'am."That's bad, thought Luna. She knew what her mother meant as the convict number 6 also known as the cold one. It was one of the only monsters she didn't want to face. It was
Luna's Trial part 2
"Hahaha. She is a promising young witch. If we want to survive in the future we need every young witch we can. We all know the situation on the Sanraisu. There are already many suspicious movements related to the clans reported. They will eventually set their eyes outside of the Sanraisu. They will notice our existence, if not today, a few years later at most. When the troubling times are getting closer, should we really punish our best witch?"Camila furrowed her brows. She knew that Elijah was right. There were big troubles on the horizon. The number of the witches on the earth can't be compared to the clans of the Sanraisu. Also, some of the clans had much more power than most of the covens. So, this was one of the reasons why witch covens scattered around the world and hid from everyone else. To survive.In a possible war against those clans, witches will certainly perish. This was the bitter truth every elder of every coven on earth had to accept. Elder Avery and Elder Layla look
Luna's Trial part 1
Luna was waiting in front of the old wooden door. She was inside a room with only a simple chair in it. This was a waiting room. She was in here this room for an hour already. She was waiting for the trial to begin. There was a colosseum-like room behind the old wooden doors.She had to be judged in the trial because of her big failure with her previous spell. She didn't expect her spell to go wrong and cause this. She will have to fight against many opponents and defeat them all to clear this trial. The main purpose of this trial is to prove one's power to defend itself and defeat enemies. All this was that her failure might alert clans and the rest of the supernatural world of their existence. The witches have been in hiding for the last four hundred years and every coven on earth wants to keep it this way.The trial will happen in a reflection dimension. This dimension mirrors the real world and whatever happens inside stays inside. The witches use this dimension to keep their exis
Concerns for the Future
(Oscar's POV)Hah... There are a lot of concerning things for the future. Mason just woke up and decide that he wants to join us. Charlotte also chose to join us with him. I wonder when they are going to confess to each other. It is clear that both of them have feelings for each other. Thanks to this I won't need to erase or alter Charlotte's memories. We are still a small team after all. Keeping everyone safe is my utmost priority.After a little bit talk, I sent Mason to rest in the infirmary. It's best that he rest a bit more. Charlotte also went to look after him. It's really cute seeing them together. After they left the main hall, I chatted with Kairi and Izumi for a while. When it started to get late I went home."I'm home, mom.""Welcome back, sweetheart. Dinner is almost ready.""Oh, I'm coming just after changing my clothes."I went up to my room and changed my clothes. Tomorrow there is school and I also have to plan the future of the team. I'm the leader of our team at th
Mason's Decision
"Well, you are trying to create a new element. You wouldn't expect it to be easy to achieve. It's something unheard of in the spirit realm. You achieving this much is already an awesome feat.""What can I say, I'm the first mage on earth."I smiled smugly. I am really proud of this nickname. I may have given it to myself but that doesn't matter. The truth is I really am the first mage on this earth. There is no clan that can use mana and does magic. There are bounty hunters who can use mana but they can only use it with the help of magi-tech. And spirits are spirits.After me, Mason would be the second mage. Well, if he doesn't want to be in this world I can't force him. I want him to be with me in this but I can't force this on him. This is something he has to decide of his free will.There are many amazing things on the supernatural side of the world. I don't know everything but I already know the wonderful things this world has to offer. Things you can do with mana or aether are fa
Talk With Mason; New Elements
"That's... hard to believe...""I know. I would have a hard time adjusting my mind to these fantastical things if my mind weren't influenced by the mana back then.""What kind of influence you are talking about?""Hmm... It's hard to describe. It's like your body and mind both want to embrace mana and you yourself slowly drifting toward the mana and magic.""That's a little scary.""I know. But mana itself isn't scary. It's just an energy. It's up to you how you use it."I told him everything that happened. How I found him on the verge of death and how he died in my arms. It was embarrassing to talk about it now that he was back to life. But I told him everything anyway. We have known each other for years and I know that I can trust him with anything.He had a difficult time believing everything I told him. I created a small fire in my hand and showed this to him. He was shocked and started to accept things. Seeing supernatural things is always more effective than hearing them from so
