After about twenty minutes, I was finally able to relax. "Woah, I'm feeling much better, but the headache is back," I thought as I got out of bed. "This magic stone has shrunk by half and become dimmer." I examined it and went to my clothes to quickly put them on, and then left my room.
- Wow, is there any result? - Anafel asked and to which I smiled broadly, or so it seemed to me.
- Of course, because I have mastered the first stage of the Whirlwind Method - I proudly declared and Anafel was shocked. She was standing behind the stove and frying something delicious in a pan, judging by the aroma. She was stirring the food with a spatula, and after my statement, the spatula fell to the floor and she turned abruptly with a shocked look and a wide-open mouth.
- How did you do that? she asked, to which I simply said.
- I did everything as it says in the Whirlwind Method.
"That's good, but were you able to extract the mana from the stone I gave you?" she asked.
- Well, yes, if I had not managed to master the first stage of the Whirlwind Method, then I would not be here - I simply answered and went to the table and sat down at it. Anafel just shook her head and said.
"You learned the first stage and used it to absorb the mana from the magic stone?" Shiro, this is unthinkable! How can you immediately jump to the second stage, if you do not fully master the first? And besides, I wanted you to use your mana to absorb the mana from the stone, but you surprised me - she said and I stared at her in shock, and she had already finished frying the food and put it on our plates and put them on the table.
"How delicious it smells! I still don't understand, is Anafel praising me or scolding me?" I thought and started to eat, without asking what it was. Outwardly, it looked like dark rice with broth with some pieces of meat. " The rice looks like the one from my world, and the meat is more like beef, and this dish is very spicy! But it's still delicious "
"I made it because of your infancy in terms of a dragon and practically all dragons eat it when they are born," she explained and I looked at her plate and saw a completely different food. A dozen fried meats with different strong-smelling spices and with different vegetables, like carrots, cabbage and eggplant, analogues from my world.
"Shiro, unlike you, I'm not a dragon and I can eat whatever I want," she said with a smug smile, but I didn't care. "And how long have I been cultivating mana, or rather mastering the Whirlwind Method?" I thought and stopped looking at the long-empty plate and asked.
How much have I improved?
- Hmm, about 8 hours, if I'm not mistaken - she answered and I was shocked at how much time had passed.
- But let me first tell you what happened to this country - made a short pause and then continued - After Kelly's arrival in this country, all the inhabitants did not expect new waves of changes in their country. For several hundred years, the country was changing and with this, demons began to populate this country. But other countries did not like this, since in just a few hundred years the country of Jadrel became one of the most powerful countries of that time.
It happened because of the demons and their army training method. In other countries there were also demons, but they were hated people, as they sowed destruction. But another hundred years have passed and the demons have already fully settled in this country and their closest neighbors. The politics of the demons were based on their values in life. "Only the strongest survive," as the "rulers" of the country of the Jaedra constantly dictated. Over time, which has passed, the world itself has changed a lot.
In the human world, the amount of mana in the surrounding world began to increase, and as a result, magical beasts began to appear for the first time. Some countries died before they could change as strong kingdoms, such as the Jaedra. She had undergone tremendous changes, as she was already doomed to enslave demons. The people of this country were already accustomed to such an attitude towards them and simply put up with and accepted the policy of demons, because they had "divine" power. Now the Jaedra will be called the demonic Aedra and branded as the enemy of all mankind. But on one of the beautiful days of the dawn of demons, a descendant of the king approached Kelly and asked if it was possible to get this power. But to the surprise of the current king, Kelly agreed, but with only one condition - Anafel finished and went to make tea. I thought, "Where did these demons come from and where did Anafel get such accurate information?".
- Anafel, where did you get such detailed information from?
"Hmm Shiro, these events were learned by historians with the help of a device that could show the past," she briefly explained and sat back at the table with a cup of brewed tea.
"Shiro, what are you going to do in this world?" - suddenly asked me Anafel. But really, what should I do? "Exactly! I promised myself that I would live for my own pleasure"
"I will do whatever I want," I told her. She sharply bent her torso and was only 20 centimeters from me and whispered softly.
- To do what you want, you will need great strength, but can you so strong?
"Of course, because I really need strength," I answered firmly. To which Anafel returned to her seat and spoke.
- That's good, but are you missing a goal? she whispered to herself, but I could hear her words. "Why, if I already have it," I thought and said.
- Anafel, I already have a goal - I said shortly
"That's great news, Shiro!" - She was delighted and then continued - But let's get back to the history of the world.
"I will give you this power and even teach you how to use it, but in return you will give me your soul," he said with a maniacal smile, and the descendant of the king recoiled from the demon and stared at him in fear.
"F-okay, I'll give you what you want," the descendant of the king replied after a while.
- Hahaha, well, finally I can carry out my plans, and you will be the first my dear boy, Frederin!
After this incident, the second change of the world took place. A mass awakening of magicians began and ordinary people soldiers could no longer be considered the main fighting unit of the army. But after the appearance of magicians, other countries declared war on the demonic Aedra. And for almost five hundred years, demons dominated people, but they did not know that these same people would arrange a coup for them and the leaders of the countries were helped by angels, or rather, one of the weakest countries of those times, but at that time one of the strongest countries was the Sacred Avari Empire.
After the declaration of war, fierce battles began for the independence of people, but the demons did not foresee the help of the angels and were deeply shocked by the stronger people. And for almost five hundred years, a whole ocean of blood was shed and hundreds of millions of people were needed to gain this independence, or so people thought - Anafel finished and smiled mysteriously.
With an effort, I was able to raise my eyebrow and my action made Anafel laugh a lot and I couldn't help but frown. "Well, I'm sorry that I do not have full control over my body. Stupid Anafel!" I grumbled in my thoughts, but I did not show it.
"Oh, Shiro it looked incredibly cute, but don't do it again, otherwise your mentor will not die in battle, but in front of a beautiful girl."
- Anafel, can we continue? I asked in my usual voice, which cooled my foolish mentor a little.
- Let's continue - she answered in a calmer voice.
