Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Magic Book

Reaching beneath his bed, he pulled out his magic book before standing up and looking at it

" This is my ticket out of here "

As a large smirk appeared on his face, he placed the book within his satchel before making his way out of the room and through the hallway. Walking down the stairs glanced below as he listened for movement or speech but heard nothing. Reaching the bottom staircase he looked in to the living room. Placing his index and middle finger on his right ear his eyes glared around

" Coast is clear "

Running to open the door before rushing out side and closing it behind him. He soon made his way down a path leading to the forest uphead. As he entered the forest he thought of his future plans

" First things first I need an open clearing to practice that's far away from people. That means I will have to go off road "

As he left the path in to deeper parts of the forest, he began his search as the sun passed its peak. Spending an hour walking through the forest endlessly he came across a clearing surrounded by trees, bushes and rocks. Walking on to the spot, he smiled brightly before uttering

" Oh what a coincidence, this is exactly what I need "

Glazing around the terrain which he stood in and saw nothing but leaves and afew broken down tree which could be used as targets

" It looks like nothing has been here in a while so let's get started "

Taking off his satchel and placing it on a large rock near a tree, he took out the book and placed onto of the satchel

" Let's see what I can learn "

Opening the book on to the first page he began reading through

{Prologue}

This is the beginner guide to magic.

Magic is the foundation of the world, it determines social standings and the circle of life. This is a special edition for ....

' Uhhhh boring, get to the good stuff '

Hiro skips through the book until he sees mana being mentioned

The basic of all magic begins from mana. Mana is the magical energy that we all have excess too. We infuse our mana in to the mana of the world to create magic spells. Every person is born with their own innate magic types depending on their bloodline. People can tell this through hair or eye color, blue types of hair stand for water. Red for fire, Brown for earth, White or Silver for wind, Yellow for lightning and finally Gold for light.

" Does that mean I'm a water mage and can not use other magic !? "

With a desperate expression he skips through the prologue eventually reaching chapter 1

{Chapter 1: Basics of magic}

Even though our speciality on magic is connected to our hair color we can still learn different magic if we train enough.

' Phew that's a relief '

To use magic properly, you need to use what's called magic circles to activate spells. Magic circles are the links between the body's mana and the one within the environment to manifest spell. Magic circles are created through incarnation which controls mana and imagination which shapes mana. Basic spells require no magic circle. There are common spells for each element that anyone can use like Fire ball,  Water ball, Wind gale, Crash, Stun Gun and low level healing magic ...

' OK I get that but what else must I do '

Hiro somehow thinks he's is in a classroom

To create a spell you must understand it's form for example, a water ball is just sphere of water. When infusing your mana into the world's mana, a magic circle acts as a link which controls the the size of spells. For basic spells magic circles and incarnations are not required, if too much mana is used in basic spells the spell breaks down

Holding his chin with one hand Hiro closed his eyes as he felt bothered

" Wait .... If a spell breaks down when too much mana is put in, why didn't my spell break down when I was with my tutor "

As he went quiet for a few minutes, he finally got it

" That's why my tutor ran away "

Hiro coughed out blood from the massive blow to his psyche

" Maybe I am a freak"

After taking a few minutes Hiro finally calmed down

" Well I understand why my tutor left now, I will be more careful next time "

' Sorry undead senpai '

" I will just have to learn to control the size of my spells but why doesn't my spell break down "

"Oh well let's begin training "

He says as he slams his right fist in to his left palm
