About a week had past since the incident of Ronan's sister, and he had spent hours trying to feel energy or mana or QI or whatever you would call it. He made absolutely no progress in his 'mission' to discover magic to the extent that he was wondering whether there was a problem with himself, or maybe magic was not like what he thought it was.
Ronan tried as he might and searched the whole thing in his head for clues to no avail. He tried weird positions, like crawling positions with one leg out up as if kicking, which made his family laugh at him none stop to his dismay. After long hours of
contemplation, Ronan decided that he had to learn how to read if he wanted to learn magic.
After reading every single reincarnation story in his mind store, he came up several ways to go about it.
1) He could try to show interest in books.
2) He cries untill the book was given to him for him to play with.
3) Running of to the study every day untill he was left alone to play.
And many more .
There was just one teansy-weatsy problem with all these methods , which was ...
He wasn't even 5 months old yet, they might think him a demon and kill him, or even worse they could experiment on him to see why he was so different, which was something he would rather die than go through again.He lacked knowledge on the ways of this world which left him frustrated and grumpy. Ronan always kept an eye open for any indication of magic to no avail. He even tried to hurt himself multiple times only to be stoped by that annoyingly caring grandmother of his.
In the end Ronan decided to implement plan two.

Time flew by and after 3 months of skillful implementation of his plan Ronan had finally managed to grasp his goal. In his time trying to manipulate his new family, Ronan came to both a decision and a realization. First he had no idea why he was sent to this world but his gut feeling told him that it had to do something with the explosion that killed him and this begged the question if there were others like him in this world from the laboratory, but having no way of knowing he decided to pray that there wasn't. Ronan had nothing left in his old world ,apart from the painfull memories of his family,and having no way back ,he decided that he might as well make the most of it in this world. Second Ronan decided to train himself to be strong, so strong that he would be at the top of the food chain, because otherwise people like Karen would always be around.
He had learned his, lesson life was a battle of the strongest, with the necessary strength one could do anything.
He would be the strongest one day so that no one could bully him or his new family.

"Dear have you seen Ronan"
" No honey, but he is probably in the study again" said Luden. "What is a kid his age doing in the study anyways, he should be outside playing with his peers if you ask me" said Garcia grumpyly from the couch."
" Oh, what can I do mother he is 2 years old, and it's not like I can just leave him outside alone, and anytime I send him with Zaria he doesn't play with her, he just lookes around" Maria said helplessly from the kitchen doorway."
"hmp he just needs a good scolding, and the boy acts nothing like his age, you should remember how Zoria used the cry all the time, the boy only cries when he needed something, and now has started reading at the age of two Maria, either he is a genius or he's possesd."
" I do find it weird tho, he really is special, yep that's my son" Lucen node's his head, earning a slap to the back of his head from Garcia.
"Listen now and listen well, I have seen some times when ghost or a demons posses babies, it is rare but it happens so we will do a simple test to see if he is just a normal baby or something else, I have been watching him for the past year since he started showing reading interests " said Garcia with an angry tone
" I can't believe you mother that's my son" shouted Maria.
"Mom there is no need for such-----"
"Shut up.It is harmless, and if he really is not what I think he is ,then I will apologize to him when he is old enough to understand "Gracia said as she interrupted Luden.
(Ronan)
Ronan was sweating bullets from the conversation he was hearing but there was nothing he could do. He had noticed that his grandmother had her eyes on him since he started his plan.
During the past 3 months of experimentation and studying in his free time, Ronan had finally managed to sense and move the ' energy' as he called it for now. The books from this world certainly played a crucial role in aiding him on his endeavour to learn magic ,but the books in the box also helped in his tries. Box was what he decided to call the library thing in his mind.
He was currently trying to perfect his control of the energy by doing minor spells like glow or minor restore spells when he heard his family's conversation.
As Ronan went into deep thought, a smile blossomed on his face while he slowly came up with a plan to both quell his grandmother's curiosity and help him get his hands on more books without given himself away.
'Two can play the game Grans, thought Ronan as he heard their arguments.
