I then got an idea. My magic is manipulation then does it mean I can manipulate anything or does it have to people?
I decided to check it. And it turns out that I was right. I could manipulate anything.
So I got ambitious and tried to manipulate my mana to the maximum I can now.
And it worked. Before I had the mana pool of an average person with magic. Now I have magic compared to Iris. But still, it was low. I wanted more. I guess I have to practice more.
I did some tests and found out that people are the most effective test subject as training with people will make my magic more effective.
It took me 2 weeks till I reached my limit. I have almost twice the mana of Iris.
I also made my body become one of the best. Though it took me a week.
Soon the time for training finished. I am now a Wizard.
I learnt the ranks. It was a Wizard or Witch, Novice Wizard or Witch, Apprentice Wizard or Witch, Intermediate Wizard or Witch, Elite Wizard or Witch, Supreme Wizard or Witch and Wizard of the Kingdom.
I learn that Iris is an Elite Witch. And she is going to be our supervisor for the mission we are given. The mission was sort of a treasure hunt. We have to find the sword of the first King.
Though it was an important mission, it was because of Iris we got it. She said Me and Noah were very smart and they would find the sword easily. She also said she will find the sword in 7 days.
The King sort of said to go for it as he can send another squad to find it. You could say we are a trial run for them.
The Wizard whom we are suspecting is a rogue one. He was an Apprentice Wizard but he can do Mind Magic very well. He even used Mind Magic to erase everything that the entire Utopia knew about him. That guy was amazing as even the King only remembered his face and nothing else.
But everyone knows his alias. The Phantom Mind. Everybody feels like they forgot something but nobody knows what. Though everyone can use Mind Magic, only people like him erase memories like that. If others did the same magic they will not be able to completely erase it. They will remember it after a while.
The Sword of the first King was powerful. It was called the Bloody Ocean. As the sword was as calm and cold as the sea. But that sea was of blood instead of water. Every time that sword was pulled out of its sheath, the King was bloodthirsty. The whole place where the battle was surrounded by blood.
Every person who died to that Sword only died due to blood loss. Not because of vital injuries.
We looked at the last place where the sword was left. The place looked like a museum designed to captivate the sword. The walls were written with information and the history of the sword. They were 2 guards surrounding the sword. We looked for clues and we found nothing.
As we were leaving I noticed something. There was a small bug flying in the display of the sword. I opened it and found a small path inside it.
Iris then said "Size Magic shrink. After a few seconds, we all shrunk to the size of a bottle.
Lily started arguing with Iris as she didn't give a warning. Iris started arguing back. Me and Noah stepped back and talked about how the weather is nice and how breathing is fun.
They noticed us and had a deadpan expressions. They stopped arguing and started looking at that expression. Noah did a tactical retreat by saying "We have to find the thief".
Then both of them had an embarrassed expression as they completely forgot about that. Me and Noah had a sigh of relief. We followed the path.
We followed the path underground till we reached the surface. We were in the mouth of a cave. We saw a house just outside. When we were about to walk near Iris stopped us. She said "Size Magic Grow. I found a small trace of magic in front of us. We should not go forward. This is just a trap. Follow me. He shouldn't have gone far."
We were a little nervous as that could have been our end. Iris made a portal and went in. We followed her. She made a portal which was open to a place nearby. We could still see the house but it was a bit far away. We found traces of footprints and we followed it.
We reached a small house. You could even say this was just a hut. It just had a bed and stairs to a basement. When we reached down there. We could see treasures. It was filled with goljewellery, diamonds, Rubies and many types of gems.
Seeing this I frowned. Lily was about to touch it but before she could I said "Manipulation Magic Illusion".
The next second we could see a Cerberus near us. We all held our breath, not to wake the sleeping Cerberus. Lily slowly walked back and we went back upstairs. We could see a python hissing at us. Lily then said "Wind Magic Wind Sword."
A huge sword made of air was in Lily's hand and she killed the python in one swing.
Iris then asked me "How did you know that was an illusion?"
I smirked and said "No matter how confident the thief is, he will never put a treasure out in the open like that. It seems that this was just a decoy. Noah, where do you think the thief hid the sword?"
Noah said "Considering the thief's nature. He may have hidden this treasure near here. I suggest we search here today and if we didn't find any clue we will leave."
