Chapter 12 - Magic! and a 'New' member.

When the conversation between the three was over, they went over to Mitsuru and Miku to check on them. Ritsume did not care about Mitsuru in the slightest but he rushed to Miku to see if she was ok.

*pant* Out of breath, Ritsume ran over to the room Miku was in and he was happy to see her without any injuries and took a sigh of relief.

Toshi and Sakura was happy to see him relieved and Sakura said "Ritsu, we shouldn't disturb her. Let her have a good sleep and we also have a magic barrier around all rooms so we can know when she wakes up! So lets leave now.'

Ritsume was a bit sad but he knew the two were also worried for her so he happily left with the two. "Yes…" was the sole response Ritsume had.

Toshi then says to Ritsume "Even though I don't like it, I have to leave now for a certain work so the two of you are going to be alone; And Ritsume, don't even think about it!

While he understood what Toshi said, the last part confused him and turned his head around in confusion.

He then leaves using teleportation magic which intrigues Ritsume and he asks Sakura "Hey! Can you use teleportation magic like him?"

She knew why he asked that question and answered "First we go outside somewhere where we can learn and practice it!"

Ritsume was overjoyed and he jumped around happily until his eyes turned emerald again but they were teleported to an open field immediately and when they arrived there his eyes had a shade of green at the bottom and blue on the top! He had not changed but the effect was permanent.

Sakura saw this and as she knew nothing about it, she was worried for his health and said "Ritsume! your eyes! We should stop this right now! Teleportation magic may cause you har-"

But was rudely cut off by Ritsume as he said "No, I need this to become strong! The eyes are no big deal and I haven't changed at all! I am fine! Please, I have to learn it!'

His persistent was too much for her and after half an hour of quarrel, she finally gave in and accepted to teach him teleportation magic.

"You really won't budge huh? I have no choice! I'll teach it to you!'

He jumped in joy but for some reason he seemed a bit less energetic to Sakura even though he hadn't changed…

"Ok, but before we begin, do you know about magic and the different ways (there are two) to use it?"

"Nope" he said as he sat down in the ground like a child.

Hearing this, she thought in her mind "So he can use high levels of magic and even a forbidden magic but doesn't know anything about magic huh? This is a first…'

"Listen closely; there are two ways you can use magic! Through incantations and grimoires or using pure energy. You should also learn why there are two methods and the difference between them! Understood?'

"YES!" He said as he looked up to her and concentrated immensely.

"Ok, so first is 'Why is there two methods?"

"Don't know!' he said out loud as he raised his hand.

'Well, there are two methods because as we humans only learned magic 3600 years ago, more than ninety percent of humans need to chant 'incantations' to use magic. Of course, you are an exception and so am I and others."

He was intrigued by learning he was special and said "Ohhhhh so I am better than most people…. I knew I wasn't like those let-down peasants who lived around me!"

Sakura was disgusted by how he addresses people but she kept on teaching. "So one method is longer than the other but also uses very little magic and also doesn't drain as much energy from us as well. This method uses 'incantations' and books with magic infused in it or contains 'magic knowledge' also commonly referred to as 'Grimoires'. Understand?"

"Yup!"

She was surprised to see him be attentive and patient while she was teaching as she had only seen his hyper active side before! She the continued the lesson.

"The other method is through 'pure energy'! this method does not take any time to use magic as just thinking of a magic attack, defense and passive. "

He raised his hand and asked "What is passive? I mean isn't attack and defense all you need?"

"No, passive is a term used for magic that helps boost the magic users or other people's magic, magic energy; this also includes healing magic too!"

"Hmmmm… so it's basically useless! Ok, so tell me more about 'pure energy' method!"

She started to understand what he thinks and how his brain works from just ten minutes of teaching him and with a sigh, she continued

"'Pure energy' the word explains itself. You use magic you learned using pure magic energy inside you. What happens is that we draw out the magic from within us and some people can even alter the amount of energy that is used to make an attack strong or weak! This is of course incredibly hard and if your body is not used to it, it could rupture and that is why most people avoid learning it but some people that I know *ahem* can use it from birth as it can also be transferred through genes from one generation to another. And these people are also *ahem..,* extremely cocky and arrogant while also being foolish and be an idiot at times that is extremely gullible at times too… like someone I know."

With an idiotic look and an annoying smile, he laughed as he said "That person you know has to be born an idiot! That is just the opposite of me!"

Even more disappointed and depressed, she continues.

"But the drawback to using this method is that the person must have an incredible amount of energy and magic energy! They can run out extremely fast."

Confused, he asks her "but I have never ran out of energy after that book incident when I was a child, I can literally use fire magic and use high powered fire ball attacks for an hour straight but I have to stop because I get hungry… why is that?"

She was surprised for a second but it just became normal for her after spending some time with him.

And then after learning this much, he became hungry and after a quite laugh from Sakura the two teleported to a city.
