Chapter 38
Riri just shook his head seeing how enthusiastic the young lady is. "Relax, we'll get to the good part, but first I need to tell you about your powers."
Leonna raise one eyebrow at him, "You mean the dragon fairytale again?" Leonna said full of skepticism.
Because of this Riri flick her forehead lightly, "Ow!" Leonna wince in pain as she gently rub her forehead that Riri flicked.
"Weather it's a fairytale or not, you should atleast take it into consideration since it's the only information we have."
Leonna pouted "Fine."
"Now sit, let's start by learning the basic about powers."
Both Riri and Leonna then sat on the field ground facing each other. "Now. We both know that you lay under the category of being a magus, that means you are born with Natural powers. Normal Magus can only have one power within the element. Water, Fire, Wind and Earth."
"But I don't fall under any of that category." Leonna stated.
"I know, you're special case. Hear me out first. When a magus is born their powers are born with them, that means powers are something you cannot learn to obtain, it is something maguses are born with, unlike a linguritio their powers are something that you can obtain by learning. Usually a magus awaken their powers at the age of thirteen."
"But I awakened my powers at the age of seven."
"I know. You're different than the normal maguses." Riri stated as he roll his eyes in the air.
His arms cross across his chest and his eyes closed shut, he too has no idea how to teach Leonna to control her powers. There are just so many unanswered questions about her powers.
"What about you Riri? Are you a magus or a linguritio?" Riri was taken back at Leonna's question.
"I'm a magus, born with Earth Element, but you could say I'm a linguritio too, since I'm good with spells and magics."
Leonna's eyes widen in shock at Riri's statement.
"You're a magus and a linguritio? Is that even possible?!"
With his chest puff out and his head held high, Riri laughed with pride "pretty cool huh? The great Riri both a magus and a linguritio! I'm the only one of my kind! HAHAHAHAH!" Riri boasted and Leonna just rolled her eyes.
"Well then tell me how is that possible?" Leonna asked, and almost immediately Riri's faced became serious.
Then he leaned forward he is now inches away from Leonna's face.
"Brat, did you know thousands of years ago there are no maguses and linguritio."
"What? How is that possible?"
"Yes, hundreds of thousands years ago there are only two type of people. The Blessed and the unblessed."
Leonna was even more confused, she couldn't follow what Riri is trying to say. "The world is not fair, that's certain. According to the books of ancient history, before the world even begun the goddess of life had made two types of people, The one she blessed and the one she did not blessed, no one knew how she select who gets to be who. And of course humans being humans the unblessed became jealous of the blessed, they felt inferior to those who has powers, so they began to kill all the people that was blessed by the goddess by inventing magic spells and curses to kill maguses until one thing led to another the next thing you knew, the war between maguses and linguritio begun. The war lasted for hundreds of years until, Theo the first became the first and last emperor of the world. Theo the first is special case just like you, he was neither a magus nor a linguritio, he was not born with powers and he does not practice spells and magics because of that the people saw him as fair, he became the Emperor solely through his leadership and his swordmanship. When he became Emperor, he made the people believe that the unblessed is also blessed by the goddess they are blessed with intelligence and talent for creating magic and spells that's when maguses and linguritio is born. Only then did the unblessed people calm down and felt pride at who they are and when Theo the first died, his kingdom was devided into seven it is the seven kingdom we all knew today."
Leonna was listening with fascination at Riri's history lesson. "So the name linguritio is just something so that the unblessed people feel pride?"
Riri smiled at Leonna, "In a way yes. So technically a magus can be a linguritio but a linguritio can't be a magus."
"Then what does is has to do with my powers?" Leonna asked smiling in anticipation, Riri flinched and looked away at Leonna.
"hmmmm… I don't know. HAHAHAHA!" Riri said, laughing awkwardly while scatching his head.
"Riri!!!" Leonna shouted in frustration, Riri just laughed.
"Fine fine! Let's start the real training!" Riri then stood up from his sit as he shakes the dirt of his clothes.
"Finally!!" Leonna then followed.
"Ok stretch your arms brat!" Riri ordered and Leonna followed him, stretching her arms in the air.
"Now, the first thing you need to know about controlling your powers is that first you have to feel it from the inside."
"How am I supposed to do that?" Leonna asked confused and baffled at Riri's instruction.
"Take a deep breath."
Leonna took one deep breathe.
"Closed your eyes."
Leonna closed her eyes.
"Now, envision your powers. The way it looked, the way it feels, its sound, everything that you felt when you were awakening."
Leonna then tried to remember everything that happened to her in her own debut, from the time she was provoked by lady Violet to the time when she first started feeling cold.
Leonna very vividly remembered the feeling of being hot and cold at the same time, the excessive beating of her heart the tingling feeling in her stomach like there's something that wants to come out.
Then a vision of her dad trying to save her came to her mind, the hopelessness and loniless she felt being alone.
"-na!!"
"-onna!!"
"LEONNA!!!"
She jolted her eyes opened when she heard Riri's voice yelling at her.
The moment she opened her eyes terror filled her heart seeing her surrounding. The once green grassy field was covered in crystal. Huge blocks of crystal was all over the field destroying the peaceful scenery that once covered it.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!" Leonna screamed in horror seeing her surrounding. She fell to the ground and instinctively covered her ears as tears flow through her eyes.
That was the time she felt like a monster...
