Chapter 2 - Understanding Magic

While on his room, he was reviewing on what happened today. He knew that he should keep it low for now and just sent out a coin-sized fire.

He also noticed that controlling that much atom gave him mental fatigue which was something to look out for. Even though he has a mentality of a scientist, his body is still immature.

On his bed, he squated down with legs crossed. He began to open his hands and compress the atoms to create fire which was easy.

He also opened his other arms and controlled the humidity on his sorroundings. Water came out of thin air and started to turn into an orb, "This is cohesion." Milo muttered, "What if..."

He controlled the dust in his room and turned it into a pebble, since they are still particles, it was easy to control. He combined it with water and the orb began to get get bigger, "As I thought... Adhesion is much powerful than Cohesion." he muttered and smiled faintly.

[Science Time!

Adhesion is when different substance cling into each other. Like water that hangs on plants, it is similar to that.

By giving it more room to cling onto, the water has more room to grow an cling into each other.]

The water orb became as big as two basketball. What he wants to know now is how to control it to attack since all he experimented on was the control of magic.

The pebble began to crumble and mix in with the water orb but it did not collapse, it still has the same mass of the pebble. He began to materialize the wriggling water into a giant needle and tried to turn it into ice.

By controlling the humidity of the room into a single point, which is the water, Milo made it cold and compressed the water into an floating ice needle instantly, "This is too easy." Milo thought.

Milo started to have mental fatigue, "I should stop for now." Milo thought as he stroked his head and stood up. He snapped his finger and the fire exstinguished and the water turned into water vapor.

Going out of his room, his mother, Martha, was already preparing lunch. She went all out again with the meat stew.

Martha is a beautiful women, she is 26 years old. She has a slender body and big... you know. She has the face of a celebrity, which was wasted because she was born in this world.

Father Alex was... maybe handsome but really flirty with mom all the time. He's an experienced magician and gained fame because of his ability to control magic properly.

We are, for now, a lower noble. Which is like a poor person that has authority onto something.

With Milo on the table, he was excited for his mom's favorite stew. It was maybe because of the water magic that he uses, it was perfectly heated up.

"Here you go, Milo!" Martha hands out a plate full of beef stew. Milo picks out his fork and pierced the soft meat as the juices flows out from the inside. Milo took a bite as his face became delighted that heaven was seen on his head.

"Your food is as good as ever mom!" Milo happily raised his fork as if he surrendered to the almighty food of Martha.

"You spoil me, Milo." Martha happily said as she held one of his cheeks with one hand..

As Milo happily ate the stew, he started wondering when Alex will come back from his guard missions, "Shouldn't father be back by now?" Milo asked Martha

"Maybe something important happened..." Martha said with a happy face but the fact that Milo knew how worried she is didn't help.

*running noises*

Bang! The door was forced open and a man with the Imperial's armor ran through the door. It was one of Alex's friends.

He gasped for air as he was obviously running in a fast pace, "It's about... Alex." The guard was panting, it may be an emergency.

Alex was signed in the eastern part of the country, which was close to his house. It was the king's idea to put his house near the East Wall because it's where the enemy territory resides.

Milo and Alex was startled, they thought of the worst as Martha held her chest and Milo clutched his hand on the table.

Hearing what happened, a gust of wind covered the room and Martha and the guard was startled by the strong breeze. The guard's helmet dropped and Martha's panty almost showed up when the gust blew her dress~

Milo disappeared as the fork he was holding dropped to the ground. On his way to the eastern wall, he was running like the wind, being and flowing like the wind, "There's no time!" He muttered furiously.

Apparently, a horde of goblins suddenly ambushed into the eastern wall. Fireball launched from the forest casted by the Goblin Mages. Alex was defending the wall when all of his teammates were down and the one who called went to our house called reinforcements, "They won't make it on time! Father is alone there." He shouted.

In distress, Alex boosted his wind magic and became even faster, "Faster!" He shouted as a sonic boom appeared and a loud explosion was heard around the east while Alex disappeared.

[Science Time!

By controlling the air to turn warm and combine it with a cold air on Milo's shoes, he launches a gust of air on his shoes which propels him. He practiced and mastered this when he was 4.

By also giving himself a protective wind barrier infront of him, the opposing wind's force does not hit Milo's weak body.]

In one step with the sonic boom, he traveled 670 km/hour and instantly reached the eastern wall. Because of Milo's immature body, he knelt down as he controlled the three components of that technique.

First, the constant combination of warm and cold air to launch massive gusts of wind.

Second, The protective barrier that he had to maintain as strong enough to oppose a mach 1 speed which is equivelant of the speed of sound.

Third, The control and prediction on when he lands. By calculating the speed and velocity, he can determine how much distance he can go.

It took a mental damage to his head. If he does it one more, it might turn him into an unstable person, which is bad news for Milo. In his age, he already has the control that of one of the kingdom's best.

"Let's help father, shall we?" He held his stomach as he stood on the mental and physical fatigue he gained and wiped the drop of blood on his mouth.

With a sense of intent in his eyes, he used wind magic once more on his shoe to jump to the very top of the wall, which is 10 meters, "Wait for me dad!" he muttered intensely.
