Even after I beat her that quickly, she still didn't stop challenging me, and I ended up sitting there while she launches her fire spells at me. At one point, she used a water spell, but the toughness of my skin after the Element Fusion stopped that like it was a splash in a pool. She then started to use stronger spells, and at one point it was just a torrent of water.
"I think you had a better chance with fire magic, but that was also doing nothing." I say, and then she starts using a fusion magic, making a lot of steam.
Jade tries to land a heavy blow through the steam screen, and then I ignite.
I catch her arm, willing the flame not to burn, just heat her. I throw her weight behind me. I 'cool' off before the steam dissapates, and I just sit down, while she just continues to try to launch more spells.
Gotta say, the flame nullification is nice.
(She's starting to try to improve her spells now, specifically her flame spells. And she's specifically doing the flame ones because you said they did nothing.)
Well, if she wants to improve, let her improve.
(She's focusing the rest of her mama for that.)
Oh. That's not good.
I flame jet behind her, Flame Jet out of my elbow and shoulder, and increase the force of my punch. I aim for her shoulder, and I hear a crack.
She cries out in pain, and collapses. I check her pulse, and she's still alive.
Well, thats over. Ralph rushes over and casts a healing spell.
"Hey Father, Ralph, when Mother gets back, I'll tell you all a secret. Except Jade, she was starting to improve her fire spells. The secret being kept from her should help her more." I say, and I head inside for dinner.
"Well, that was a lot easier then expected. Glad I got the flame nullification in time, I would've died if not for that."
All of a sudden, I get hit with another fire spell.
Why does this have to happen.
"Jade, please st-" I say as I turn around. It's a masked man.
"Excuse me sir, did you need something? I really don't appreciate my attention being grabbed like that." I say, nonchalantly.
"I was sent to kill you." He says.
"Ah. Well, can't have that." I say.
System, I want to use that last spell thing for now.
(Okay. Create away.)
I combine the concepts of Blast and Missile, and make a actual Missile spell. You know, Heat Seeking, grenade level blast, and a whole lot of flame. Takes a decent 75 points of mana.
I cast it, throw it at the guy, and he dodges it, smirks at me from under the mask, and then gets blown up from behind. As he gets sent flying towards me, I prepare a Flame Jet Propelled Punch, right into his jaw.
"Hey, can someone come clean this up!?" I shout, and one of the butlers flies over here, and starts cleaning the area with wind magic.
I drag the dude over to the Interrigation Room, or what some of us here call 'Mother's Room'. I don't know if I stressed this enough, but Mother is a sadist. And the room isn't her bedroom. I know I phrased that wrong, but...
Anyway, I put the magic damping cuffs on him, and chain his body to the wall. I write down what happened, and I put the note up by him. Someone's going to take care of the rest, but Mother might do it herself. I prep the tools, and select Mother's favorites.
Okay, so reincarnating as a noble is slightly more entertaining than what I thought it'd be. It's a little insane, but 8 years of this makes sense.
I head to the kitchen, let the servants know to get dinner prepared, And head to my room, to which I discover Ralph has been waiting for me.
"So, we got cut off earlier. You are also a reincarnator?" He asks.
I nod. "Been here 8 years, training to be an adventurer. I'll tell you a few secrets, if you stay quiet about them." I say.
He nods.
"First, I had to pick three elements, and then I was allowed to fuse them. I picked fire, metal, and mind. I fused metal and mind, to see what would happen, and then I became able to replicate dungeon technology's uses as a spell, as long as I infused my mana into it. I got Blood magic today, as part of that gift from the king that bit ago. I had copied the Inspect Elements machine's use, and used it on a core they didn't know about. It was a gravity, to which the king has a use for." I pause.
"I can use the fusions separately depending on what the fusion was. The tech one I couldn't. I fuse Fire with Blood to get Infernal Blood, which I can use separately and gained the ability to light myself on fire. I then got a prompt to fuse it with the tech one, and it told me it would be a 3 in 1. I can have a max of four at a time. I then became immune to earthly fire. I tried to take in the mana from a cast fire spell, and now I can take in 10% of a fire spells cost." I pause.
"Jesus. And let me guess, another passive is toughness?" He said sarcastically.
I stay quiet at that.
"Really?" He says, and sighs.
"Guessing you got a title?"
"Well, that was after I discovered my blood can light on fire, and the title is how I light up. Human Elemental." I explained.
"Of course it's Elemental. Your blood can light on fire, you can basically be walking around on fire, and your immune to earthly fire. A Hell Fire, Celestial Fire, Pure Fire, Dragon Fire, and Void Fire are the only fire that HURT you. And all I did was marry an elf, after learning how to appraise spells as a job. I'd literally tell a party where to go to avoid a spell. And I can rewrite a spell within 3 feet of me." He says, glumly.
"Have you tried to augment your body? With the healing magic?" I ask.
"Yeah, that's how I'm even physically strong." He says.
"Have you infused the augment spell with elements?" I suggest.
"Might enhace certain bits." He says, with a bit of hope.
"Try that, but do it separately. If you need to, try to use mana crystals to use that elements mana on different parts of your body. Water in your blood, Earth or Metal in your bones and skin, Fire or Wind in your muscles. Experiment a bit." I say, to which his eyes light up, and I can practically see the ideas flooding.
"Funny having a kid who's not even ten give hope to a full grown adult." A woman says, as Ralphs wife walks in.
"Does she know about Earth?" I ask, and she nods.
"I know the whole 'shabang'. Except what he didn't know. Movies, Internet, Video Games, and some more. People get real persuasive when in love. Not that I'm not the same for him." She says, staring at him.
He gets a big goofy grin, and then a servant comes in and calls us for dinner.
Once Mother arrives, I explain most of the situation, other than the reincarnator bit. Ralph looks like he's understanding something, while Jade, who didn't want to leave, and I didn't want to use force again, looks very embarrassed. She runs out of the room, and THEN I add the reincarnator bit, to which Ralph looks a little surprised. Mother would find out at some point.
Mother looks a little proud to have such a smart and powerful son, while Father has a look of shock.
"And don't tell Jade that bit, it's better she thinks someone her mental age beat her." I say.
"How old are you mentally?" Ralph asks.
"Eh, I'd say sixteen. The whole Isekai thing made that permanent." Say, and then Ralph and his Wife laugh. Mother and Father seem like they don't understand for a second, mother seems to get it, and then father just stares at her confused.
"Dad, a lot of people there want to do the whole reincarnator thing, especially since we didn't have magic." I say.
And then he understands. Mother seems a lot smarter than a former merchant lord.
The next two years fly by. I get a 20% bigger flame size with the self-igniting, but other than that, didn't really get much.
Jade and I have become good friends, and she is still set on getting fire magic that can harm me. Ralph and his family are just basically living here now, though.
I'm going to be able to go to the Knights and Mages school that my parents picked. I'm excited, but I hope I'll actually learn something.
Mother managed to get me two Dungeon Techs, and one is a Pocket Dimension Ring, and another that would allow me to self destruct, and when I read the spells description, I was shocked.
[Mini-Atom Bomb]
Disintegrates Everything within 50 meters.
On that day...
What da-
[Please do not continue.]
The System prompts, and I utter the first syllable, and I get a taser like shock in my stomach region.
[Do I have to move lower?]
"No!" I shout.
Ralph looks over at me, questionily, and laughs after a second.
[Hive Mind]
I hear before I can ask.
Anyway, since then, I've been testing the Pocket Dimension Spell, and it's able to hold up to 420 pounds. Funny number, but literally. When I'll be able to upgrade it, It'll be a 690. Specifically what the system says. Sense of humor, huh.
I've been practicing with the blood magic as of late, which my ring is full of, chicken blood of course. I'm surprised we had that many chickens. When I asked about it, Dad said we owned 5 15 acre farms, while chickens have a full 2.5 each farm. We have more chickens, basically. No wonder why I get to have chicken strips every night.
I've managed to get four blood spells.
Blood Ignition, which ignites blood I currently control on fire. Like it's oil. 10 mana. No clue how it works. Maybe the elemental bit.
Blood Shield, Well... 15 mana.
Bloody Needle Rain, I send a lot of blood up, and compress it into a needle on the way down. 25 mana.
Boil Blood, which makes the targets blood start to heat up. To reach full cost, I need to keep a view of my target for 15 seconds, which is when the blood is at boiling temperature. Again, dunno how this one works, just thought of heating blood up dangerously. Maybe it lowers the boiling point.
I should do Blood Sword here in a bit. Maybe Blood Ignition added to it.
Well, time to start my day. I wake up, freshen up, pick something nice to wear. Today, Jade and I are going to the academy. I'm thinking, 30% Knight Classes, rest magic.
I knock on Jades door, and she's all ready to go. We go practice our magic together, and I give her a few pointers on fire magic. I've given her a few hints on how to make stronger flames, such as: Ooh, that's a little big, Lol, Maybe it should be a bit more condensed, which was straight forward, and, What if you made it tighter.
She never seemed to realize, Until I said this.
"You gotta focus that flame to a smaller size! That way, It's hotter! Just don't use less mana!" To which, she did instantly. I'm surprised Ralph hadn't said anything to her about it yet.
I then showed her a flame that'd be normal for a gas torch, and then she stared at it, mesmerized. Well, I found a Pyro. I then made one for each finger. She started clapping, and then I pointed them downward, and increased the force of the jet like flame.
[Multi-Flame Jet Spell made.]
I slowly gained liftoff, and then I released it. 1 point a second is cheap for slightly more and more flight.
Oh yeah, update on mana capacity. It's at a whopping 1000. I'm surprised too. When I was 7, I thought it would've been barely 500 by now.
{Author Here, sorry to cut this one short, I wrote 3/4 of this two chaps ago, I had them releasing weekly, but I ran out of spare time. Wrote a bit more, after the sorry one to try to make it up to everyone who'll see this while I'm too busy. Have a nice day, everyone.}
