Chapter 21 - Attack

"Well do more..." Navea replied and left him alone. Jin then sits beside Henry and elbowed him with a laugh before going back.

'What's happening to me? I used to be a friendly approachable type, not a confident type... I never start with sweet lines. I always go for friendship and trust before that... This is bad.....'

Henry feels someone playing with him that he didn't know.

'I'm too weak for this world...'

He follows back to the room.

"Glad to see you all complete and intact. Now let's start our lecture... Let's start with your Grimoire's... Do you know that every grimoire you have is acknowledged by Akashic Record and serve as a mini-version of it," D look around as if expecting a question and Henry did ask?

"What is Akashic Records?" Henry ask.

"Akashic Record, the sole system governing all. Everything will be recorded and written on it. If the Book of Law is the restraint then Akashic Record is the very data or record of you and every one of us starting from our birth. Everything that exists even outside of our universe will be recorded if they ever enter ours. No one will escape as it is absolute," he single-handed explains it all and ended all confusion in Henry's head.

"Now, Grimoire is your record. No one can ever read it if it's connected to the Record now. Pull out your grimoire and prink a drop of blood. Make contact with your Grimoire with the finger that has the blood. Finally, run your energy toward it," Henry did as he said, and when he did it.

A black fire in the shape of a triangle started to burn the front page of the book and the brown grimoire he has from the beginning then became black. Henry opens the book and all pages are blank with its color becoming also black.

'Ohhh!'

"Now, pull out the energy you supply inside."

When Henry completely pulls all energy. The grimoire return back to a brown earthly book with used pages from his past endeavors.

'Hahaha!! What if I used my purple energy? Later I'll try it.'

"Focus on me! Do you know why Grimoire is important to every wizard? It's the very thing you need if you want to create your spell. Yes, every wizard will create their own set of spells they focus on. Want to try?" D ask and started to write a magic circle on a board he made.

"You see at the very cover of your book is your magic circle. North is fire, South is water, East is the wind and West is the Earth. When a water branch did a magic circle they will always start at the South going clockwise but we Black start at North going counter-clockwise," he smiles when he completes it and Henry hungrily writes it off his separate notebook.

"Now, we will inscribe our intention. Letters are not useful even if you use numbers but the intent is the very core of it. Then where will this be written? You will create another circle over the outer one and this will then make a blank space where you can write off your intent counter-clockwise while putting energy on it consistently. Meaning you must control your energy to supply at a perfectly steady pace," D completes the magic circle on the board and it shone with a black light before disappearing.

"How can we use it if it's gone?" Henry asks in confusion.

"Hahaha! Nice joke human... It won't disappear if it's written on your Grimoire,"

"But if it's a magic circle form then who will we use it?" Henry follow-up.

"It's easy... Remember the inscription you made? It will be the trigger of the spell. If you are a hand and wand-waving, you just need to do the correspondent wave for the intent or word to use it. Same with chanting, you will need to say it to be invoked. The sequence... Well it's already a magic circle you only need to project it using your energy," D point his finger and black energy came out of his finger. It then created an upside-down star magic circle glowing in black.

The small energy that created the circle then blast the whole room with the powerful wind that shook them even if they were behind the walls of their compartments.

"Now, I want you to create your spell for two days. This will be your task before having 4 days break," He said leaving the room with a frown.

'Haaa... Now let's start, I want to create an alarm spell.'

Henry then started to practice on a blank piece of a page on his separate notebook. He started with his magic circle. He continues to work on his drawing first.

It took him about 1 hour of trial and error to create a perfect magic circle. Henry took a break and look out through the glass inside his compartment and see silhouettes on the door before a blast of white light came from the very door blinding him and the others that were looking forward.

*Pinnngg!!!*

*Swoooshhh!!!*

Henry feels the air heating up fast with a loud blowing sound from the door. Henry quickly runs his energy but his black energy's flow became very slow.

'Fuck!! I'm gonna die here without even a week?!!'

Henry quickly opens his grimoire and his finger form a small sharp blade. He quickly slashes his arm and blood flow down on his grimoire.

"[Signum!!]"

Once the blood drops on the unused seal he creates. It revolves and spins quickly creating a vortex of vacuum that sucks the huge breath of fire in the shape of a cone. He then floats when purple energy seeps out coating him. Trying to phase through the wall behind him but his form is flickering in two forms as the increasing heat with stinging on his skin makes him bit his lips.

Different barriers were also erected from others as they try to shield themselves from the unexpected attack but slower than Henry.

The spread of the fire was slowed by his seal and everyone managed to complete their defense but Henry bears all the blunt of temperature increase.

"Aahhhh!!!!!!" His even if muffled by the room still reach all of them. Jin jumps out of his room and kicked the door of Henry before pulling him to his. His grimoire turned into a mote of light and fusing with his left hand into a tattoo of 3 barcodes.
