Chereads / The Ice Witches Diary / Chapter 5 - Trying out Magic for the first time

Chapter 5 - Trying out Magic for the first time

Its a new day once again.

So I checken in on my Systems update progress

[[System]]

(Updating 77%)

Looking at the progress it should really be done around afternoon today.

I wonder what will be new once it's done?

But I better let myself get surprised.

Hmm I wonder if I'm gonna be able to surprise it if I can already use a bit of magic

Before it's back...

Yosh I'm gonna try to use some magic!

-----------------------------------------------------------

So after having breakfast and a small bath I'm back out and about near the large rocks from yesterday

"Hmm how do I begin? With meditation? Maybe try to feel something flowing inside me...

Okay so I might need to meditate for a bit because there could be something? Or I might need another way to go at it...

Let's try meditating...

So I walken to nice Rock with a bit of sun shining on it and had a sit down on it while emptying my mind and I try to focus in on myself and try to notice some energy be it a ball and small rivers or fully dispersed throughout my body...

After a long while I have made .... 0 progress

That was a failure maybe because I don't know what I'm looking for?

Hmm let's go with option two and that would be being a chuni... yeah no I'm gonna go with imagining the circle infront of my outstretched hands.

The order in wich they need to appear and what exactly they should be...

I was sitting on a rock for who knows how long and nothing, 0 for 2 I guess

But I somehow felt something chilly blow past my neck so I turned around only to kinda freeze in place to see a rather massive Arcane circle floating there and looking at it that thing is almost full snd thinking about it it is pointing past me right now and I am in the line of fire ...

So I camly stepped asid-

'AAAAAHHHHH! WHY IS IT BEHIND MEEEEE?!'

Is what I should have done but I kinda fumbled about and fell backwards of the rock...

"KYYAAA-" 'thump' "OWWCH"

jup and while holding my head behind the rock I heard something sail above my head and impact the waterfall

*woooosh* *kratschunk*

... yeah I kinda forgot my pain hearing that and looked up towards the waterfall and well it now had a giant ice spike in the middle that slowly started to give of a cold mist even with the water running over it... I feel like I see it slowly growing in size thanks to the water flowing onto and freezing on it....

I just shot a Ice comet 5 or six times my size and nearly killed myself thanks to it...

Aaah I'm gonna take a nice bath now.

But it will have to wait until my legs stop being pudding...

And I habe to stop feeling so sleepy...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Next thing I know is that I hear some girl crying

??? "Onee-san please wake up!"

She sounded very panicked

??? "You aren't allowed to Die on me!"

"Who is Dying on who now?"

Were the only words I could mumble out in my current state of mind.

??? "Nee-san!"

... Who?

??? "Why did you try using magic without me to help you out?!"

"Ryuzu?"

Ryuzu "Yeah it's me you big dumb sister of mine!"

...what?

"We are sisters now?"

Ryuzu "... D-do you not want me to be y-your sister...?"

..... I'm kinda feeling dread right now...

Ryuzu " ... If I am not useful to my sister I might as well delete myself..."

I sprang up right now only to scream

"STOP!! DONT YOU DARE!!"

Ryuzu "O-Onee-san?"

...

"I wouldn't have given you a name if I didn't want to! Let alone the fact im in a new world where i know nothing about magic or the lay of the land.

To top it all off i have no clue where i am!

So What if you didn't have many chances to display your knowledge?

We know eatch other for a few days and you were updating for most of the time, so What if i knocked myself out while you couldn't intervene?

I also need to learn...

While it would have been helpful not to get myself knocked out for this lesson it happened and there were no more consequences than a bit of a fright...

The Important part is...

We can still try and be sisters.... but be patient with me im new to all this okay?"

...

...

Ryuzu "Onee-san!"

As much as I want to say that a cute girl jumped at me to hug me I see nothing around me... well except for the now semi frozen lake with some giant ice ... it's becoming more of a small Plato than the simple spike that it was...

But as I said I don't really see Ryuzu anywhere

"I'm glad that I can hear you now and that we can talk without me having to constantly read your replies"

Ryuzu "it's because you gave me a good name Onee-san~"

... I would still like to punish her for trying to delete herself...

"Yeah but just a question you wouldn't have gained a body as well right?"

Ryuzu "I have not really received a body..."

Yeah I can hear her sadness about that which is somehow surprising because she was more or less a simple system but now I can kinda understand why it took two days for an update...

Anyway I slowly stood up

"A shame but i think you would need one in the future..."

Ryuzu "Onee-san is correct I would also like to..."

Alright she went really quiet near the end there... I really hope this doesn't bite me in the behind later...

*cough* "anyway could you Pease display my Status screen?"

Ryuzu "Yes, right away Onee-san"

... It's gonna take a while to get used to that...

Okay I fainted because of Mana exhaustion good to know but why does it have a 4 hour timer?

Also I have two new titles...

And last but not least what happened to my stats?

Did leveling up twice get me that boost or did my titles do that?

...

I Wonder if I can see what they do...?

Also why do I still have 'Lazy Witch' As a Title?!

...

So after a late Lunch I checked out my new Titles.

[[The First Witches Daughter]]

You have a great impact on other Witches should they find out that you are The Daughter of The first Witch.

But aside from that you have a much greater Mana recovery than others...

Okay nice to know that I am even stronger than i thought...

[[Lazy Witch]]

You regenerate Stamina 20% faster than others but you you use more Stamina on activities you don't enjoy.

Useful but...

... I still don't like being called lazy...

[[True Witch]]

You are one of The few Witches that are allowed to stand tall in Witch society.

Many wish to be able to call themselves a True Witch but how to become one is not easy.

[[Luna's Chosen Witch]]

You are a Chosen of Luna, doing Great things will be expected of you.

Increases spell Mana efficiency and damage.

[[Arcane Prodigy]]

Congratulations you managed to form your First spell faster than many other aspiring Spell Slinger.

Your Spell forming speed is greatly increased.

"Haaa"

Sighing I just went back into my home

Okay it's nice to know what they do but i hope they don't become a problem later on

After having a meal I decided to go to sleep for today...
