She kept muttering and the symbols started to change shapes. Their shapes... became twisted... In the middle of the paper, some liquid gathered and outlines of some words started to appear. But before anything could happen the paper suddenly turned apart by itself and Luna fell to the ground with a scream."Luna!"I was extremely worried about seeing her fall to the ground. I quickly helped her to the nearby sofa. She seemed to be deathly pale. I couldn't understand what was happening. She was just fine until that paper suddenly torn apart by itself."Luna! Are you okay?!""I'm fine. It's just... there is a backlash of failed spells.""Blacklash?""Our witchcraft works with special energy called essence. Essence is the core of a witch. It's their life force and every witch's essence is unique and different from others.""...that sounds like it's coming out of some fantasy novel. But I think I shouldn't be surprised about things like this anymore."One after another supernatural things
"Alright, it's time to remodel the cave!"Oscar announced with a loud voice. Izumi, Charlotte, Kairi, and Akane all looked at him with weird expressions on their faces. The gloomy Oscar from a day ago was gone and he was now cheerful. It was weird to see all of them."Has he finally gone crazy, nibi?""Akane! Don't say mean things. He was just having difficult times.""Guys, I can hear you, you know."Oscar released a sigh. He knew why their reaction was like this. Until yesterday he was gloomy because of everything going on. Learning about the government and Houlls' co-operation was a big worry for him. He was thankful for Kairi's previous advice on keeping an ordinary student identity.Keeping himself hidden would allow him freedom but revealing himself was extremely dangerous because he couldn't guess what it could lead to. That unknown factor was scaring him. But he couldn't let his fears control him. He had to ready himself and face them properly. So today he decided to be cheerf
Because of everything she went through she already closed her heart. She only acts friendly with everyone even though she didn't want to, to not be abandoned by them, to not get left alone and buried in her loneliness, again. Oscar was already nicer to her than anyone she ever come across in the last years. So she didn't want to lose this person and his group.But it was incredibly hard for her to act friendly with everyone, not because they were bad people. But because she was instinctively refusing to open her heart to the others. She couldn't change this. She already tried to open her heart before but she left with disappointment several times by now. She was far too many times betrayed by people she come across since her childhood.'If it's him, maybe... Just maybe things will be different this time...' She wished in her heart. She turned her head away to hide her blushing cheeks. After so long she had a hope to gain a friend and maybe a place she could truly call home. That hope
"Clans are classified as three separate segments. These are called, Noble Clans, Great Clans, and Big Clans. The clans are divided into these segments according to their numbers and sometimes to their war potential and military power.Noble Clans, have to at least have a number of ten thousand people in their ranks. There are only four noble clans and they were fighting alongside the emperor back in the imperial age. Each noble clan has three great clans they have under its rule. Meaning they were the biggest part of the old military of the Sanraisu.For the Great Clans, it's a bit different. They usually have more than a thousand and less than ten thousand people in their ranks. There is an exception for this. Tsukine Clan. I will explain it a bit later. Anyway, my clan was also part of this segment. Great clans are under the rule of noble clans because in the past some great clans tried to rebel. They have perished at the hands of the noble clans but they still caused heavy damage t
After Izumi talked about the clans back in her homeland they sat in silence for a while. Oscar took a deep breath and shook the deep thoughts out of his head. He had already a lot of things on his mind but right now wasn't the time to think about these things. "Thank you for telling me everything, Izumi. I'm glad that you feel that you can talk with me. The information about the clans is a lot to process but it helps me a lot. Thanks for the help." Oscar smiled with sincerity at her. He was really glad that he could learn more about the supernatural world. Every bit of information was helping him to understand this new world he found himself in. It was quite different from the ordinary world and he was still struggling to comprehend it. But slowly he could see and understand more of it. He has already faced spirits and people with supernatural abilities. One wrong move and he can find himself in a dire situation. "No problem. You already helped me and it's only natural that I want t
"There is an unusual amount of Aether in the water. And somehow it was able to mix with mana leaked from my cocoon. Somehow my cocoon ended up inside of that lake. And it caused this weird phenomenon. But this still doesn't explain the Aether inside of it. That's what you told me about the lake, right?""Yeah. I never thought that this was the reason for it."Kairi and I were looking at... a huge crystal that has a person inside. This person... or creature, clearly wasn't a human. She had huge butterfly wings on her back. She seemed to be frozen inside that crystal. She had a nice purple dress made of flower leaves. Don't get me wrong. Those leaves should be at least two meters or a meter long. They can't belong to any plant in this world. Aside from her wings she and her pointy ears she looks just like a human.How did we find this? We followed the shiny green liquid and like twenty meters deep we found this. As for how was able to this shiny liquid could get twenty meters above, it
"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
"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
