Damian stepped outisde of house after listening to what her mother has said that mage requires mana which usually awaken when a child is five years old .
" Do , I seriously don't have mana even though, I have recarnated " Damian said it in a low tone which he could hear only while walking in yard and also looks puzzled and disappointed. He had expected to have some special abilities as a mage, especially since he had been reincarnated into this world.
Damian left the house and went towards the river that's not far from his house after walking for 15 minutes he finally reached .
"Come on Damian you can do it " as Damian said himself while raising his left hand towards the river .
"Water waterrrrrrrrrrr " Damian said as he was putting force in his hand but to only disappoint himself as nothing happened.
" Shit! , I am really not able to use magic " Damian said with disappointment as he fell on his back and looking at the clear sky.
As Damian was lying on the ground and seeing the beautiful sky a sudden idea struck him .
" Maybe that lady named Aria can help me considering she is water mage she might have more information about magic" Damian said with a hope in eyes as he stood up and ran towards her house.
After running for 20 min straight, Damian fall right infront of Aria house as he was exhausted .
" Are you okay kid" Damian who was lying on ground with his face turned around after hearing someone approaching.
Timeskip.....
Damian right now is inside Aria house since she is one who called him out and picked him up took him inside the house .
"Thank you for the water" Damian said with low tone since he was still exhausted .
"You are Elara son aren't you but ,I don't understand what you're doing infront of my house did your mom send you for some work" Aria said as she was picking out vegetables from her basket.
Damian put the water glass on table and stepped down the chair." I want to know about magic can you please teach me " Damian said with confident tone.
Aria turned around hearing the small kid asking about her magic as she didn't hear a news of anyone awakening mana.
" Did you awaken mana " Aria said as she was confused that she didn't know a kid awakening mana as there are only 10 mages in village if there happened to be a kid who awakened magic could sure cause ruckus around village.
" No , I didn't I was just curious about it how you use magic so , I just want to see if , I can learn by gaining some knowledge in it " Damian said with a small smile in his face .
Aria was confused at first as everyone knows you can't use magic if you don't have mana .
" Don't you know you can't use magic without mana awakening " Aria said to damian as she thought he might not know about it.
" I know that mana awakening usually happens when we are five years old but there must be a way to do it even if you're not awakened since you are a mage you might know something " Damian said with hope in eyes.
Hearing what Damian said she told damian to sit on chair and walked away to one room and returned with box which she placed on the table right infront of Damian.
" Look Damian it's impossible to use magic without mana awakening but there is a way to gain mana by external source" as Aria said this she opened the box which contained a small blue crystal which shine was quite dim but there was a shine even if its was small.
"This magic crystal used for making artifacts to amplify a mages power not only that a normal person who doesn't have mana can also use magic using the magic crystal of the particular element"," This magic crystal is for water magic "
Aria said as she picked up the magic crystal in her hand .
As she picked the magic crystal she went ahead explaining the magic crystal flaw .
" You see every person who is born possess a particular element even if he hasn't awakened and can only use that element magic crystal " Aria was explaining about the magic crystal but suddenly Damian spoke up
" But my mom told me only mages can use magic , but according to you won't knights also use magic using magic crystal " Damian said with curiosity in eyes .
Hearing what Damian said made Aria smile as she didn't thought a small kid would understand that much .
" what you said is correct knights can also use magic but they don't use it , you see a non awakened person using magic crystal can't use powerful magic as magic crystal are meant for amplifying someone mana plus magic crystal are really expensive, The one I am holding right now is of lowest grade which , I buyed when I went outside of this island." As she was about say more Damian got intrigued by grade of magic crystal.
( Wait how many grade are there) Damian asked to which Aria went ahead explaining more
" There are 5 grade of magic crystal which can be easily distinguished by their shine and their amplifying power depends on them, the higher the grade the more power it releases " As Aria stopped explaining the grade ,Damian was silent with his hand on his chin thinking about something.
"What are thinking so hard" as Aria asked to which Damian replied made her shocked.
" So if , I don't have mana , I will just use highest grade magic crystal it will surely have strong magic power " Damian said which made Aria about to spat water even though she wasn't drinking anything.
"Do you think high grade magic crystal is some stone that you will find on ground or something, you see above 2nd grade magic crystal is so expensive that we might need sell our village to buy one , not only that magic crystal also expire and has limited time use according to it's grade , so having a high grade crystal you need to be at least a noble or belong to rich family". as Aria finished talking she saw Damian who is looking sad .
"Shit! Neither do I have money nor some gifted abilities, Truckun I wont leave you if get on my hands on you even though I am powerless".Damian was cursing truckun in his mind which made Aria think he is sad. She looked at the magic crystal in her hand put it infront of Damian.
"Here why don't we see if you're compatible with water magic using this crystal" the moment Aria said this made Damian come out of it's thought.
"Wait really can we do this" Damian said with excitement and forgetting about truckun .
Both Aria and Damian went outside the house in her yard where she told Damian to hold the magic stone in his hand and try to imagine water in his mind.
And again Damian start murmuring "water waterrrr" but this time a small bright light shined in circle and a spurt of water came out , Aria was quite happy as the Damian has water element but on the other hand Damian was dumbstruck because the amount of water which came out couldn't even fill a glass of water.
Seeing Damian Aria realized what he was thinking" see like I told you without mana awakening using magic is impossible " even after seeing Damian dumbstruck she told Damian he can keep the magic crystal with him as she doesn't need it.
On the other hand Damian still didn't come to his senses at what he just witnessed and just thanked her went towards his home.
Back to home...
Damian is sitting in dinning table thinking about the pathetic magic he produced as he was so lost in thoughts that he didn't realize his mother calling him out .
" Damian are you okay" elara said as she was shaking him to come out his daydreaming.
"Ahhh yes mom , I am okay , I just don't feel like eating" after saying Damian went to room .
As Damian went back to his room elara become worried as he usually don't behave like this
" Is he okay honey if seems to be not well " elara said in a worried tone to Theron.
Theron who was taking a sip of his soup listened to elara " You dont need worry he is growing up maybe he had fight with some his friends, " as theron said this it made elara even more worried seeing as elara was getting more worried " Just eat your food , I will talk him after eating food "
Damian was lying on the bed, the room was not dark since the moon light was entering the room through window .
" Can , I really never be able to use magic"
Damian thought to himself .
Knock knock
"Can , I come in" sudden noises in his door made Damian wake up in his bed as his dad entered the room with some food .
Theron walked upto the Damian and placed the food infront of him " What are you thinking so hard about , that you didn't even touch your favorite mushroom soup .
After watching the soup Damian realized he didn't payed attention to food in dinning table.
After placing the food Theron starts walking away as he thought he should be left alone but before leaving as he always knew even though Damian is six years old, he is way to mature for his age.
" If you are facing some problems don't give up and fight till you win" as Theron said this he closed door went away.
After hearing what his father said Damian finished his food and went to sleep .
