Okay, this is it, Matt! It's finally the time! Time for you to finally see the fruit of your labour! All the suffering you went through, lead to this!!!
You can do it, Matt! You can do this!!!
It's now or never, you stupid orb! Today, you'll be moved!!!!
Mana-kinesis, activate!!!
Oh, the orb is floating! Stable, stable, Matt! Don't break concentration!
Now, for the moment of truth!!
Planetary Rotation!!!!
The orb is spinning on my palm. The orb is spinning on my palm!!!!
One minute has passed! Let's see if I can keep it up even longer!!
....
....
...
The orb still spinning....it's still spinning!!!!
"YES!!!! I DID IT!!!!"
After a grueling month passed, I finally able to move the orb like it's a second nature!! Oh, my sweet hard works have finally paid off!
I'm so glad I didn't ask for systems!! Learning how through hard work are so satisfying!!! All the anger, frustration, determinations, annoyances, everything gone!!!
I smiled giddily as I continuously moved the orb with my mana-kinesis! Oh, yes, I finally learn this grueling trick!!!
Apparently, my theory on subconscious is correct! It's like you do walking. You just walk while your mind guide your legs where you should walk to.
Like how back in my old life as 3 years old, I always made sure to step on each tiles while imagining each lines leaks poison.
Ah, good times.
"Mom! I finally did it!!" I rush towards mom who was carrying a basket of tomatoes. "I finally able to move the orb! See?!" To demonstrate, I repeat the same thing I did before but this time, I made it move around my body.
"T-that's amazing, son!" I beamed as mom pats my head. "People took at least 3 months to msster it, but you did it faster!"
"Eh!?" This is surprising. It suppose to took longer?! Please tell me I didn't get overpowered isekai anime mc syndrome.
If so, this will not feel like a true satisfactory.
----------------------------------------------------------
Anubis, did you-!?
That mortal child are one of the mortal that gain my respect after millenias! That includes respecting his wish to not getting cheat!
----------------------------------------------------------
Let's just hope I don't.
Sure, getting OP is good and helps me a lot to defend myself. But, I didn't want to get OP in instant, like Ainz and the rest of OP isekai mc.
I prefer Rudeus' approach of getting stronger, slow and steady. Ah....I wish I was alive long enough to see Mushoku Tensei Season 2 part 2.
I regret to not read the light novel.
"Matt?" I snaps out of my thoughts before looking at mom. "Is something wrong?"
"N-nothing! I was just thinking what can I do with the orbs." I rather not tell her how far my mind wander off.
"Well, if you want to continue mana training lesson, try to do it with two."
....
....
....
Mom, please tell me you're joking....
----------------------------------------------------------
Pfft!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------
"I rather if you not do it now." I sigh in relief. You almost got me, you cursed orbs. "Now, how about we try to see how you do with your spells?"
"Sure!" I decided to try Igniculus first as medium sized fireball popped out of my hand in an instant.
"Did you feel the spell is much easier to use?" Now that I think about it, yeah. Back then, I visualize it so hard that it combusts and it took so long. Now, it's instantaneous.
"Now, try Mare Serpentes." I decided to try my new trick after a month of trial and error, creating water from air. I beamed as immediately, water gathers from the surrounding air into my hand as an orb. I squeezed and the orb starts taking shapes of a sea serpent.
"I still can't believe you manage to create water." I smiled sheepishly. It turns out mom saw what I wrote in my notebook and attempt to try the same thing.
Spoiler alerts, the house flooded 10 times and the plants on the yard are overwatered. I took it as a chance to practice my nature element, much to mom's dispelasure.
I guess she didn't want me to overdid it again.
I look at the tree before I decided to think of an idea and decided to strike it with my sea serpent. To my absolute shock, the serpent tore through the tree bark like a hot knife through butter.
I wince as the tree falls. I swear that some of the nymphs said 'timber!' when it happens.
"...Don't use it on people, ever. Got it, Matt?" I nodded. I'm not a psycopath.
"Mom, is there an ice magic?" I decided to ask this question. I never get the chance to ask this thanks to the accursed orbs.
"There it, but not everyone can learn it due to how difficult it is. Ice magic are powerful during winter, and they only used for countering water magic." Okay, seriously, wtf?
There are more shits we can do with ice than just freszing shit!!!
"Can I try?"
"Be careful. I don't want to see another tomato incident." My face warmed at the reminder.
"Mom!!!" It's official, she will always remind me that moment. I summons an orb of water before applying one of my theory about water. Using mana to push the energy out of the water.
It's much harder than I thought, harder than creating water. Condensation is easier than freezing as water can forms from a tiny drop in temperature while freezing needs at least lower than 0 Celcius.
I continues to push the energy away as suddenly, the water orb starts to crystalize. I smiled widely as the water slowly but surely frozen.
Ladies and gentlemen, I figure out ice!
"You never cease to amaze me, Matt." I grins widely at mom before I decided to shatters the ice. I try to control the shards with mana-kinesis but much to my disappointment, I could only control 3 small shards, and a medium shard while the rest shattered completely.
I let loose the shards towards the nearby tree. Sadly, the ice wasn't strong enough as it shatters upon impact.
"I will never get used to this." I sheepishly grins at mom who stare at me unimpressed. "If you plan to do it again, don't bother giving me that look."
I laughed at mom's words, and she ended up join in.
"Anyways, how about I teach you earth magic?" At this, I was excited. More versatility won't harm me.
And I can't exactly ask her for other elements, lightning is more unpredictable than fire, so she will definitely not teach me that till I get older.
"Saxum Lacta." As she said that, a chunk of rocks appear from the ground and shot towards other sides. I notice that the chunk of rocks actually a bunch of dirts and stones condensed into one, creating a very durable projectile.
So, unlike Pokemon, ground and rock counts as one, earth. Add that to my memtal note.
"Unlike most elements, earth is stiff and sturdy. If you use this magic, don't try to think it like other magic. If so, each of your earth magic will be weak and easy to destroy." So, basically, Avatar the Last Airbender. Got it.
I decided to try my luck with this. Let's took one isekai character's idea as an inspiration. As I touch the ground, a medium sized rock shards appears from the ground. I decided to add mana-kinesis on this as I forcefully spin the giant chunk of rock to spin. I try to force to spin it as fast as I can but apparently, my mana-kinesis wasn't advanced enough to do so.
So, I launch the rock.
To my disbelief, it's enough to tear through several trees before it stuck on one of the Ironwood tree. I still see smokes coming out of the hole and shards.
Okay, apparently, Rudeus' Rock Drill is super deadly even if it's low powered, got it.
"Matt.....I hate to say this, but you're grounded."
I expect nothing less.
To be continued
