Doctor Whildem was stern on his stand.
Carseain: " Haa...fine. I'll do that later after hunting some monster to cast a spell, okay? "
Doctor Whildem Rang his bell.
A maid entered and bowed.
Whildem : " Bring it in! "
Maid : " As you wish."
She bowed and left.
Carseain and Rovenin looked at him with suspicious eyes.
Doctor Whildem smirked at them.
Whildem : " Don't you think you're underestimating my power a little?
I am, by all means, A royal guest. "
A few servants came in pushing a trolley. The contents were covered with a white sheet.
Carseain could sense magic from it.
Whildem : " My requests are top priorities. Getting a small monster is well within my powers."
He stroked his beard while the servant unveiled the freshly hunted monster.
Carseain was smiling.
Carseain : ' That's supposed to be small? Looks like a B grade monster to me , not at least a C grade with that size. '
" Nox, when did you tell him about the problem ? "
Nox : " About 3 hours ago. "
Carseain : " I see..."
He mumbled.
" So, I just have to cast it again on this, right?"
Whildem : " With the complete chant. "
He said very sternly like a Head Teacher of the Disciplinary Committee.
Nox : ' 'Really don't wanna' is written all over his face. '
Whildem : " Do you know the Chant? "
Carseain : " More or less I do."
Whildem : " Alright, about 10 flowers should be enough. "
Rovenin made a sceptical face.
Rovenin : ' It was just three flowers and Young Master coughed up blood, ten flowers might be too much even if his Magic Capacity is surplus. '
" Excuse me Doctor-"
Carseain : " It's Okay, Rovenin. I got this."
He said looking at him with a smile on his face. Rovenin understood that Carseain was well aware of his concerns and was fine.
Whildem : " Is something the matter? "
Rovenin : " Pardon me, there are no issues. "
He decided to not pursue the matter and trust Carseain but was still fidgeting a little.
Carseain : ' He's such a worry-wart. Sometimes I wonder if he is the one who gave birth to me. "
He went and touched the body of the monster. It had gone cold already.
Carseain could feel the lingering stagnant life force and a little magic that was still active.
Carseain : ' After I gained my memories of my past life, I was very glad that I could cast magic without chants. Not only is it bothersome but it also makes me feel like a Chuuni. '
{ Note : ' Chuuni ' is the abbreviation of the slang/word 'Chuunibyou' popularly called in English as "Eighth Grade Syndrome".
Chuunibyou can be divided as Chuu-Ni-Byou each part having individual meaning as :-
Chuugaku (Chuu) :- Middle School.
Ni- nen -sei (Ni) :- Second Year Student.
Byouki (Byou) :- Disease / Syndrome.
Middle School Second Year student is an Eighth Grade Student and the disease or syndrome here refers to their unusual behaviour which arises because they delude themselves into thinking that they have superpowers. }
Carseain : 'Damn it, reminds me of my dark history. Even though I really do have magic here it's still embarrassing. Must I really go through this?'
Carseain glanced behind once and saw Whildem's smile on his lips but his eyes were not smiling. He took a deep breath and started chanting.
" In the name of spirits who oversee life in forests, I, a child who is graced by your kin, borrow the powers.
Heed my orison and breathe life into the Flowers beloved of Paroah who keep the dead living inside their lives.
Leifali Rokani Verinna Ferace Vonnaz "
Orison - prayer
Carseain could feel an enormous amount of magic being spent very quickly.
Carseain : ' He said I could grow 25 flowers at max. So, this is basically 40% of my Magic down in the drain. I am said to have good endurance but this is really tiring me out. '
Rovenin let out a sigh of relief when the spell- casting ended without any mishaps.
Soon, the buds started budding. The beloved flowers of Paroah , the sight of those ephemeral flowers breathing over the dead could neither be painted picturesque nor could it be called gruesome.
" Beauty comes at a cost."
This was what Doctor Whildem mumbled as he beheld that sight for the first time.
Though he was an influential person he could never see these precious flowers growing by himself.
Expeditions that were sent only brought the flowers not the plant as it was inconvenient and dangerous to travel with corpses in a lair swamped with precarious monsters.
The Doctor turned to his patient and started checking his flow of Magic and Lifeforce.
Whildem : " How do you feel now? "
Carseain : " I do feel different from when I did it back then. How do I say it? It feels more swoosh rather than--"
Whildem : " It feels much more superior, refined and quaint rather than that inferior, crude and cretinous flow of a boorish amateur."
( Quaint - unusually attractive, cretinous- idiotic, dumb)
Carseain: ' Not mincing his words, huh? He ain't even hiding his anger anymore ...'
Rovenin : ' How many years will it take for him to speak the human tongue properly?'
Rovenin sighed.
Whildem : " Even if you don't want to say the whole chant, at least use the last part when you try it for the first time."
Carseain : " Huh? How nice of you, cutting me some slack."
Doctor looked at him with the eyes of a given-up teacher.
Whildem : " If I don't do at least this much you'll skip it altogether."
Rovenin joined his hands and made a clapping sound.
Rovenin : " Oh you've already got his attitude figured out."
Whildem : " This isn't my first time dealing with such cases. "
Rovenin : " Do you mean stuck up brats, genius brats or noble brats? "
Carseain : "Oi... Don't you think the options list is a bit too messed up? "
Rovenin : " What part of it?"
Carseain : " All of it."
Rovenin : " I'm sure that's what the Doctor meant too."
Carseain : " He must've meant patients who don't like bitter medicine."
Carseain looked at Whildem.
Nox : ' His face says 'take my side' , doesn't realise that he's making himself look like a 5-year old. Let's see what the Doctor does next.
This is getting fun, only if I had something to munch on.'
Whildem sighed and looked at the flowers
Whildem: " I simply meant people like the Young Master. "
Nox : ' Ooo, so he chose the middle way.'
Whildem : " Besides, it's okay for you to skip the first two parts.
You see, a chant can basically be divided into three parts.
The activation : " In the name of spirits who oversee life in forests, I, a child who is graced by your kin, borrow the powers."
The main motive is to activate your power source.
The one you used is usually for spiritists where they borrow powers. "
Carseain : "Is that so? It's been a long time, so I must've forgotten."
Rovenin : " I can relate, it's junk data I don't even want in my head. How lucky, Young Master! Wish I could forget it too "
He said with dreary eyes.
Nox : ' These Goddamn Geniuses. How can you say that?
Normies like me stay up day and night memorizing that shit. "
Whildem : " The second part , A command or request : ' Heed my orison and breathe life into the Flowers beloved of Paroah who keep the dead living inside their lives.'
This is just preparing yourself to start doing things. The choice of words is important as you're communicating with the magic here.
But I was surprised, I thought the Young Master was the Command type yet you made a request."
Carseain : " I used commands when dealing with my electricity attribute but for some reason, I felt like I should go with the request for this one. "
Whildem : " Well, I told you to skip these two because you're already well-versed in these two areas. It doesn't seem like you need help with that.
But you mustn't skip the third part because it is responsible for the flow of Magic inside the body."
Carseain : " The root of the problem. "
Whildem : " Well I cannot blame you for not nailing that part.
The fact that it is written in ancient language after researching each word with utmost care is proof of how complex the mechanism is. "
Carseain : " Alright, I'll be careful. "
The Doctor was looking at him intently.
Carseain : " Looks like you've got more to say."
Whildem : " Not really."
Carseain chuckled.
Carseain : " I heard some compassionate doctors talk to their guinea pigs about their conditions."
Whildem : " Hahaha...
It's just a little intriguing. "
The three were all ears.
Whildem : " You see, there's a mistaken perception about the elements.
They say that people with water elements have gentle personalities and people with fire elements tend to be a little violent.
However that is entirely wrong, if we look at it carefully you will notice.
Have there been no criminals with water elements?
Did the people with the fire element never do the deeds of kindness? "
Carseain : " Cut to the chase."
Whildem : " I mean that the element we use depends not on our personalities but our souls.
All the elements resonate with our soul, the one which we awaken is the one that resonates the deepest.
Of course, as we grow some other element might also start resonating deeply and the second element is awakened."
Rovenin : " I see... that's how a third and a fourth can also be awakened. "
Carseain : " What's the issue then? "
Whildem : " The issue is you are strange..."
"Deja Vu "
They all mumbled in unison.
Rovenin : 'That Underage Assassin wasn't joking...'
