That's right, from the moment the situation became worse I started thinking about different kinds of things for my life. But how was I able to think in that kind of situation? There's no way a guy like me can do that. No, in my whole life I never thought at such rate, nor did I ever stay calm and take such rational, perfect and correct decisions. It's too good to be true. So how....
"It seems like you finally realized. You were thinking too much weren't you? Just like I have been saying. Don't worry I am not suspicious of you anymore. And I know that you are innocent and a normal person. No, I won't harm you either, but we need to know the truth"
Wha... what is she trying to say?
"don't worry, to start off. You are not a normal human being. And I checked on your parents, so you are not like us either"
"What do you mean checked on my parent? What did you do to my family?"
"Calm down, I didn't harm your family. I just checked if they were normal and if you were really related or not"
What the... She checked if we were really related or not? Does that mean she checked if I was really my parents' son or not and she also confirmed that they are normal. Then what does that leave me as? If I am not normal and my family is normal does that mean...
"You are thinking too much again aren't you. Don't worry, you are your parents' son. But you are not a typical human. In other words, you are a human who can wield mana"
What is she saying?
"I am really dreaming right now, aren't I?"
"NO, you are not. If you want, I can prove it to you using a little physical shock."
"NO, no need at all. I am completely awake I can feel it. I know for Shure"
Even if I was asleep, I would die from that mental shock
"As I was saying, you have mana, even though it is very little to almost nothing. Non the less you have mana"
"So, is this mana is what you used to do everything you did until now"
"Yes, mana is the main source of my power"
"And I have very little of it, that I might as well not have anything."
"To be frank, yes. But how little it might be you have mana. And that makes you different from normal people. As mana is the source for greater power and life."
"Then why do I have it, the mana?"
"I don't know. But mana is the primordial energy. It is the energy which can make nature itself and control the universal laws with it. Even if it is little that makes you different from normal humans and because you have so little that's what makes you different from us"
"So, you are telling me that I belong nowhere"
"Yes, but there are things you need to decide because you are in this kind of situation"
So, I am not a human because I have mana and I am trash for the others because I have so much less mana. That means nothing changes even if a fantasy world opens itself in front of me. I am still nothing even now and will be the same as I always was. In the end I am not even worth having the right to grab the dream that is in front of me huh...
"Let me tell you this clearly. The people with mana cannot stay in between normal people. You may ask why so let me make it clear. As I said before, mana is the primordial energy and can control the laws of the universe itself. So, it is harmful for the beings who don't possess mana. Normal people can't even perceive something which is caused by mana"
"So, mana is dangerous for the one who does not have mana... but I don't have much mana right and you also said that I have too little of mana so I can stay the same in here, right? And I can't use mana in the first place"
"No, you can't"
Why? Even though I have mana the amount is insignificant, and I can't even stay with my family because I have mana. What kind of a screwed-up plot is this...
"Why? I don't have any powers like you. The only thing I did was to think, and we don't even know if that is caused by mana or not. Why do I have this mana so suddenly anyway?"
Ah, shit I just yelled at her. Am I going to die...
"I don't think it is sudden. I think that you had mana from the beginning, and it just got triggered and awakened when I extruded my mana into the atmosphere around you and to add to it your life was also in danger, my guess is both of them together caused you to awaken your mana forcefully"
"But even then, I don't have much mana right... So, maybe I can stay with my family"
"No, even though you have less mana than the minimum mana one can possess. You still have mana and because you awakened your mana just now even if you release just a little bit of your mana it will be like you are stealth to other normal people. They won't be able to see you. In other words, you will be practically invisible to them. So, you can't stay with them even if you wanted to and even if I allowed it to."
Invisible … so, that's how it is. Then does that mean she was also...
"Were you invisible as well mam? When we first met. For the others I mean..."
"Yes, I was using mana at that time"
So, this situation happened because I was able to see her and react to her. So, me trying to be sociable and trying to help someone has bought this all up on me...
"You understand right. You can't live your life as you've always been. Because if you stay here, it may... no, it will surely bring harm to your own family. This time it was me who found you suspicious but if were any other person, then well …. things might have ended in a different way"
Right, I was lucky that Ameyaa mam was the first one to find me. Otherwise, my family would have been in danger but still …
"Ok, I will do whatever you ask of me. Can I still interact with my family and do my job as their son? Please..."
"Normally I would suggest you to not interact with them at all. But you can interact with them with caution, and you will have your identity as their son as it is. But you need to build your new identity in the magical world in a way that it will not interfere with your current identity in any way"
That's right now I must manage my life in two societies and the magical world I have never seen... I need to know all about this world and try to blend in with them. Socializing huh... even though I am not a shut in or anything I still don't like socializing. And I don't have that much confidence in my social skills as well. I guess I am going to have my hands full with all these tiring tasks... but I need to do everything I can to keep my family safe. Even if I were to experience nothing but pain in the process. I have to survive, survive until I can fulfill everything I need to do in my life.
"So how am I going to be part of that side. I mean magic world; I am sure they would know that I am new or find something suspicious if I suddenly appear out of nowhere with how I am right now. And I need to go to college here as well Afterall"
"You don't need to worry about your identity being leaked. I have a perfect identity for you to take that will shield your identity from blowing away"
"Huh, what kind of identity is this. Afterall, it sounds too good to be true from my shoes"
"Oh, that. You are going to become my son and enter into the magic world"
"Huh...! what did, what did.. you just say..."
"I said you are going to become my son"
"What are you talking, I already have a mother and why would you say that. I don't want to call some strang... I mean someone else as mother"
"You don't have a choice here. You becoming my son is the only way for you to protect your identity"
"How though?"
"Not to brag but I am a very big and reputed person in magic world if you were to be my son then no one will look into you or doubt you. My husband will agree with me as well. If you want to protect your family, you have no other choice"
True, everything she says makes sense I have no problem with it at all. But I somehow feel like I am getting into more trouble by entering a family of bigshots. Well, I have no other choice. I will do anything for my family...
"Ok mam I accept your offer. Thank you very much for helping me"
"Not mam, its mom from now on. And don't worry I am going to put you through hell my son. After all we don't want you not knowing how to use magic after all..."
Now I really think I am going to die, why did my life turn out this way...
