Months had passed since Sam's first training session with Christine while he taught Christine some important spells and incantations before they practiced them in Christine's gym on the weekend but Sam had bigger problems as Lilly was spying on him from the crack of his opened door before he said as Lilly tried to hide
"If your going to hide then you shouldn't talk out loud so I can hear you"
Lilly opened the door and said as she sat on Sam's bed
"Well it's your fault, a few weeks ago you went from a lazy brother to a hard working guy who is always gone on the weekend"
Sam chuckled as he looked at his calendar and saw he had just under two months left before the emergence before he said with a smile
"How about you come with me this weekend to see what I do every weekend?"
Lilly glared at Sam and said before she stormed out of the room
"Fine! But I'm bringing a friend! And don't try and trick us or I'll be your worse nightmare"
Sam smiled and pulled out his phone to call Christine and said
"Looks like we'll have to move things along soon. Lilly's curious about what I've been doing so I think it's time"
After some silence Christine was heard saying as Sam looked through his restricted Spells and incantations
"Are you sure? We still have time before it happens"
Sam leaned back into his chair and said before he hung up
"Yeah I'm sure, it's time she knows. But I'm going to continue looking for him as he's being annoying to find right now"
Sam then started once again to look online for a man he and Christine knew as the 'Wall' and after another long search he found nothing until he received a message from an online social media site saying
{Why are you looking for me?}|
Sam blinked a few times and said
{I've been looking for you for the last few months but to think you'd find me first}|
Another message came again with a photo of Sam entering Christine's gym
{What do you want? If knew me then you'd know I can do anything so that I can get left alone}|
Sam was stunned by the photo before he smiled and typed
{Tim if you really wanted to hurt me then you would've done it months ago or even at the ice cream shop where you got a snow cone}|
After a long pause and image appeared of a park bench with an address before Sam typed and left
{See you there}|
Sam had later reached the meeting spot and sat on the bench before a little boy came and handed Sam a toy walkie talkie and said as he used it
"I'm surprised you wanted to meet so soon"
Tim's voice was heard saying
"You know my name and you sound as if you know me personally but I've gone to great lengths to stay hidden"
Sam smiled and said quietly
"Why? Because your the long lost heir to the Noboro Corporation? Relax I'm not here about that but more about the man you will become"
Tim's voices was heard after a long silence saying
"Why should I trust you?"
Sam used the walkie talkie and said as he vanished before sitting down next to Tim who was lying prone on a rooftop
"If I wanted to hurt you or take you hostage then I would've done it"
Tim jumped up and immediately got in a fighting stance with a sturdy yet soft pose while Sam opened a can of pop and said
"Nice to see you again, Tim Noboro, long lost Heir to Asia's top pharmaceutical company"
Tim felt no hostility from Sam but jumped as a chess board and two chairs appeared in front of them before sam sat down and said as Tim remained on edge while wondering what was going on
"Let's play a game and for every piece you take from me I'll answer a question"
Tim reluctantly sat down and said as sam moved one of his pawns first
"Fine but first you have to answer one question, what is going on here? Why are you looking for me?"
Sam looked at Tim and said as he took one of Tim's knights
"That was two questions but I'll happily answer them both, I'm simply a magician from the future and as for why I'm looking for you is so that you can keep your smile"
Tim didn't believe Sam's works before he stood up and found himself tied up in Christine's gym before yelling
"What's going on?! What did you drug me with?!"
Sam came over holding a cup of coffee while Christine was practicing a new incantation called [Dart Shot] that shot out a paralyzing tranquilizer dart that could knock out a Elephant before some said as he sat Tim down on a chair
"I didn't drug you but simply applied a little [hypnosis] to make you follow me here to talk"
Tim scoffed and tried to break free yet he found himself unable to move until he took a closer look at Sam and said
"Who are you?"
Sam smiled a raised himself off the ground a few feet thanks to maxing out his proficiency with his current telekinesis and said
"I am the Magic sovereign and you will join us if you so choose where you can save your mother"
Tim started thrashing around violently as he yelled
"You don't get to speak of my mother! You sick bastard! Your going to use her to blackmail me to join your cult are you?!"
Sam sighed and released Tim and said as Tim stood their confused
"I've told you from the start that I only want you to join us and if you trust us then you'll be able to save your mother"
Tim saw the entrance wide open and was about to run before a laptop booted up on its own and played a video of Tim as a child playing with his mother
Tim looked around and saw Sam and Christine chatting with each other before he focused his attention back at the video where he could see his younger self happier than he ever was but soon the sky turned red and monsters started coming down from the sky and started killing people one by one till tim and his mother stood in the middle of corpses all over the place until the sky turned blue with Sam, Christine and himself killing monsters one by one till they had all disappeared but just then Sam closed the laptop and said
"If you don't wish to join us then that will happen again except for you having your mother next to you but the choice is yours to make"
Tim turned to the entrance and wanted to leave but he could shake what he saw and didn't know if it was all just a trick or if it was the future before he walked over and closed the front door which led to Sam and Christine smiling before tim said
"Once my mother is safe I will leave and if any of you follow me I'll kill you myself"
Sam sat down in the centre of the boxing ring and said as Tim looked at him
"Wise choice, now the first step it's to link our mana pools"
Tim hopped into the ring and asked as he sat across from Sam
"Our what?"
Sam looked at Tim and said as he drew a diagram on a whiteboard
"You are a mage as are we, a mana pool is basically like a guns ammo mag where once it runs out it has to be filled again to work only with the mana pool we can use actual magic"
Tim didn't trust Sam's words and thought he was just crazy before nearly a dozen Sam's all spoke at once as they stood behind the real one who was sitting down
""We can use our magic to make the impossible come to reality such as the spell called [Mana Clone] and the [Hypnosis]""
Once they all disappeared Christine also climbed into the ring and said
"You can also have magic affinities such as I have the affinity for fire magic. Now this doesn't mean that I can only use fire magic but it will become stronger then if Sam were to do it since he doesn't have it"
Tim looked at Sam and said
"Back on the roof you used that clone to sit at the bench?"
Sam nodded and held out his hands before saying
"Yep, now hold my hands and don't let go"
Tim took a deep breath and grabbed Sam's hands as Sam started the chant for the mana linking just like he did for Christine
"Commence the link of souls and let this without sight see the truth of the world!"
[Mana linking has begun. Current progress at 8%]
With Mana Linking at level two it's processing speed was almost triple of what it was so it did not take long for the link to fully form before Sam was met with a punch to the face from Tim who jumped up yelling
"What's going on here?! Answer me! Huh? Sam? Christine? What are you guys doing in this dungeon?"
Sam felt a tooth fall out before he said as he tossed his phone to Tim
"Welcome to the year 2026 old friend, we got less then two months before the emergence"
Tim however stared at the phone while staying still like a statue before Christine said as she hugged him from behind and sue flexed him
"Hey are you going to stare as the time all day or are you going to wake up!"
After Tim landed on the floor Sam quickly used Telekinesis and poured a bucket of water on him before Tim yelled
"What?! How am I here in the year 2026?! I was just in a dungeon?!"
Sam pulled up a towel and three chairs and started explaining and after another long explanation tim was stunned just like Christine before Sam said
"Christine has also become a Disciple of mine but I will treat her as my equal. If you also want to join us then you will be able to learn all the magic I know but in exchange for 20% of your experience gained"
Tim contemplated the offer as 20% was no small amount but Tim knew Sam had an abundance of knowledge about magic in the past but he couldn't use it while on occasion Sam had taught him a few of his already known magic spells and incantations
Sam and Christine could see Tim struggling with his decision before Sam got up and said
"I can tell you need time to think it over so let me know by tomorrow at noon if you want to join"
Tim then got up and left while Sam said softly
"And now we wait"
Hours after hours of waiting had passed as Sam had pictured Tim to return before the front door was opened again to reveal Tim and a figure hiding behind tim wearing a mask and hoodie
Sam used an incantation called [Owl Eyes] that gave night vision and increased visual awareness before he soon realized who the figure was and said as he bowed to them both saying
"I welcome you Mrs.Noboro, my name is Sam"
Tim looked at his mother and said
"Your safe now mother. These are my friends"
Sam and Christine then saw Tim's mother lower he hoodie to reveal her face and even though both Sam and Christine had seen her multiple times they still were stunned by her beauty before Sam pulled up some chairs and said
"Please sit, I apologize if it isn't a five star hotel"
Tim's mother was a mute so she typed a message on her home before playing it
"~No apologies needed young man, if my son trusts you then so do I~"
Tim sat down next to her mother and said
"I've told her everything, but I want her to see it for herself, please don't do anything crazy"
Sam nodded and said while a few tea cups floated to the table
"Do not worry old friend, I'll keep it to a minimum"
Tim's mother was a little spooked before Sam used his Telekinesis to make the water from the tea cups to form a tap dancer and made the tap dancer bow before starting a dance while he said
"I'll be blunt to say the we can use actual magic to do the impossible, and I want your son to join me and Christine here"
Tim and his mother were distracted by the tap dancing person made of tea before Sam snapped his fingers and made the tea return to the cups and said
"Madam, if you allow your son to join us then we will provide you with our support and we can also help you with your personal needs such as the Noboro empires rival, Takadashi Pharmaceuticals"
The madam's quickly changed the look on her face from amazed and impressed to sour and cold in the blink of an eye before she said through her phone
"~Seems you know much about us, just as my son had said but I want to know what your goal is~"
Sam smiled and said
"All I want is to have a place filled with peace as I'm sure you might be aware that in the next couple months this world will change drastically from what your son told you"
Sam and Christine immediately saw Tim shaking his head no rapidly before he stopped as his mother looked at him and said through her phone
"~Tim what are they talking about? What will happen in the coming months?~"
Sam sighed and tapped on the table as a small circle formed from the steam in the air before Sam said as within the circle it showed some of Sam's memories of the day of the Emergence
"It's called the Emergence, monsters from heaven and hell will come to earth but in doing so will give people special powers such as the three of us being able to use magic"
Tim's mother reached her hand out and passed her hand through the circle of mist showing monsters descending onto the earth through portals before he sat back and asked with her phone
"~If people will gain powers from This event then how do you two and my son already have powers? Wouldn't it already be happening?~"
Christine wrapped her arm around Sam and said
"It's all thanks to Sam here, he gave us the gift of magic"
Christine was going to say Sam was from the future but that was before Sam made Christine promise to never tell anyone as that would most definitely draw attention from the government but this worked in their favour before Tim's mother asked
"~Then how do you have these gifts?~"
Sam leaned back and said as the circle of mist disappeared
"I'm sorry but I can't take the chance of my secret being revealed, I hope you understand"
Sam knew that secrecy was important to the madam before the madam said while holding her hand out
"~If you can truly help my son and I then I too will support you to the best of my abilities~"
Sam and Christine smiled and looked at Tim before he said
"Alright, I'm in. So what's the plan boss"
Sam waved his hand as a small cloud of dust swirled around Tim's mom before she fell asleep
Christine pulled out a city map with multiple highlighted areas and said as Sam laid Tim's mother softly on the couch
"Me and Sam have been preparing for the emergence for the last few months, and I think we have a plan. Here are the areas we will have to strike first to both monopolize the process and make sure that we are safe"
Tim recognized a few of the locations and said
"These are all dungeon locations. Which one are we going to hit first?"
Sam walked up and pointed at one of the marked areas just outside the city and said
"This will be our first target, then we move more towards the centre of the city but first we'll have to make sure your ready Tim so I want you to focus on using these spells and incantations I'll give you"
Tim was confused before Sam placed both of his hands on Tim's head and said
"Just try to relax, here we go"
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Target Lock
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Stone Pit
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Gravity Snare
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Incantation:Stone Skin
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Incantation:Beasts Roar
After Sam had finished he wobbled just like when he used it on Christine before tim started puking in a bucket before Sam said as he sat down
"Ugh…. Over the next to months I want you guys to max out the proficiency of your skills"
Tim kept puking in the bucket as he gave a thumbs up while Christine put a blanket of Tim's mother however just as he was about to leave Sam looked at them both and said
"Oh and I'll be bring my sister here on Friday so just act like strangers to her until I introduce you"
Christine smiled and said
"I get to meet my sister in law again! Hehe, I can't wait"
Sam sighed and left while Christine watched over Tim who was puking up his dinner from 3 days ago into the bucket while his mother was soundly asleep
