bam!
I slowly pulled up my sleeve again to look at the burns that had been there that were now gone before slowly sitting down in front of my usual desk.
At first, I planned to take a short nap, but settled for reading a book and thinking about all the things that were going on.
This time I was really careless. I didn't do it because I wanted to be a hero. Is it just that I was near the scene and was able to help? Or maybe it was just because I was eager to try using magic in real situations.
Because the school teaches only basic subjects. There will be a special academy that teaches rich children magic before they enter high school. But my parents sent me to a school that didn't teach magic and focused more on science.
It's not that my parents didn't support magical education. But what could be better than education from someone who can wield high-level magic from parents?
"Hehe. Luck is also an important part."
But I was able to help about 20 people and there were many more that I couldn't help. This incident left a very bad taste on me. After I moved people in and out several times, I could feel the negative energy. Negative energy is similar to mana, but it consumes the life force of its user. I am sure that this time was not an accident. This time the terrorist may be aiming to create fear or may be targeting just one person who is shopping at the moment. No one can know.
Shit, it's starting to get difficult. I don't even know the plot or the changes that are going to happen in this world. In addition to monsters and demons, there are also humans who need to be careful. This world is not as beautiful as we thought. Even though the crime rate is very low these days, terrorists still exist.
Back during the Second Dark Age, filled with terror and famine, the air was toxic, with radioactive dust spread over almost the entire world. Whether it is a neutral country or not, all are affected. All of the above events were the result of a long-range nuclear launch across continents in less than an hour. Everything was destroyed and there was nothing left as a result of more than 16,000 nuclear warheads. The leaders claim to have it to use as a counterweight to the other side's power so as not to use it. After just one start there is no stopping.
Hello World!!!
Do you think there will be rules?
That's right, someone once said, "All's fair in love and war."
Ideally, if nukes are needed, they would be used first in military installations and in situations where they spread to ordinary citizens.
How much do you think would be used against the people of that country to get another side to surrender in a war?
Maybe 25 percent? or Maybe they would attack the capital, but no. The effects of nuclear weapons cause many people to disappear into the void, the country grinds to a halt, the economy collapses, and the radiation causes cancer in the people who survive. Even though they may live a long time, they cannot give birth to the next generation because the children born may be abnormal.
"Whether direct or indirect, the results of war are that no one wins, only losers."
Bunkers cannot survive for long and those who survive must migrate to a new place. The days passed quickly and there was not much development, instead, they slowly retreated two steps at a time.
All the people hoped was to survive until the next day.
In the Second Dark Age, there was only cruelty, people were tired, but the wounds of war had not yet healed. Where the effects of the radiation were less severe, people began to gather and form cities. Not long after the people became peaceful, a dimensional rift began to appear in space.
Then there began to be a strange gate, and people who entered never returned. After that, monsters began to overflow. People had to leave their homes again.
It's like pouring salt water on the wound again.
Soon people began to regain hope, people began to feel a new energy. That was the Mana that started to come into play. Some are awakened to the point of being able to deal with monster threats and delay the consequences. People can open their eyes again and begin to have hope again.
Soon the humans began to understand the gate that opened. The gates people encounter now have stable and unstable types. And starting to understand how to close the gate.
But hope didn't last long.
There is no end to human greed. When people have power, what happens next?
It's not difficult to guess, war as always.
This time it was like pouring gasoline on the wound and lighting the fire again.
There is a saying that famous scientists around the world once said:
"I only knew that World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones."
But this world had long forgotten him.
The civil war was widespread and monsters continued to spread to different parts of the world.
As always, there are no winners, only losses.
After a long war..
Terrorists were defeated by statesmen.
A person whose power is so strong that no one else can compare with it.
Weary of the loss once again, people began to come together more tightly than ever before. Under that man, they joined together to build a city where no matter what race you came from, all were welcome.
We just want you to respect the law.
The result was the creation of a new United Nations organization.
which is a large organization that is not useless like before In the past, there was no international organization or mechanism to stop this kind of violence from happening. Having only international law or a global court and economic sanctions and political attacks were not enough. This has to change. The organization must be transparent and verifiable.
As time passed, mankind began to become united like today.
Yawn!
"Hmm, my back hurts." I stretched slightly.
"May I help you?"
"Oh, that's good," I said without thinking.
Soon I realized something was wrong.
"Ehhh!?" I turned around and saw Umi standing with her hands on her hips.
"What are you so surprised about?" Umi replied while laughing.
"Why don't you knock before coming in?"
"I did, but no matter how much I called you, you wouldn't answer me."
"I understand."
"But what are you doing?"
"Nothing," I replied, quickly hiding the notebook.
"Heh. Oh, I almost forgot. I've already made lunch. Come and eat together."
growl!
"Ahem, that sounds good."
***
bam!
In the living room before that
"Hm? Nate didn't take his backpack back to his room."
The backpack was black, square, military grade and showed no signs of burns. It should be made from high quality materials.
"Uh, we'd better not search Nate's backpack."
"Why"
"My brother won't like it. Because it was a birthday present that Dad bought him."
"It's okay, hehe."
Umi slowly opened and searched his backpack.
"Eh, Nate carries a pistol?"
"It's his hobby. I will deduct 10 points for Umi-chan not knowing about my brother's hobbies."
"Ehhh!"
"So what should we do?"
"Hey Iris-chan, do you want to go make lunch with me?"
"But I don't know how to cook. Iris replied shyly.
"I'll teach you myself, but deduct 10 points" Umi said kindly.
"It's not fair!" Iris quickly protested.
The two girls then headed towards the kitchen.
"What ingredients are there?"
-Pork, beef, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, spring onions, shrimp, scallops..
"What menu should I make?"
"What do you think big brother wants to eat?"
"Erm Japanese curry or beef stew"
"Why do you think so?"
"Before, Nate had muttered that he wanted to eat."
"Plus 10 points," Iris smiled playfully.
"huh Iris-chan, come here." Umi then gently pulled her cheek.
"Soor-ee"
"'Then let's start doing it first.."
tak! tak!
"That's it. Slowly cut the beef so that the pieces of beef are not too small."
"Yes, like that."
tak! Kya!
"agh! It hurts."
"Hold out your hand for me to see," Umi asked worriedly.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. You have to practice often to get used to it," Umi said while casting a healing spell.
Iris nodded obediently.
tsss! tsss!
"When the beef is browned.."
soo! soo!
"Keep stirring gradually"
"understand"
"Okay, very good. You can turn off the heat."
"hehe I can do it"
"Iris-chan, you can go rest. I'll go call Nate myself."
"hehhh" Iris looked at her mysteriously.
"what?"
"There's nothing."
Umi turned and looked at Iris suspiciously before leaving.
Knock! knock!
"Nate, lunch is ready."
"Nate, I'm going in."
"... ... ...not..lost.." There was a soft murmur.
In Nate's room, Nate was sitting and writing down something.
Umi stayed quiet and observed Nate intently.
Yawn!
"Hmm, my back hurts."
"May I help you?" Umi asked softly.
"Oh, that's good."
"Ehhh!?"
"What are you so surprised about?" Umi replied with a laugh.
"Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
"I did, but no matter how much I called you, you wouldn't answer me."
"I understand."
"But what are you doing?"
"Nothing"
"Heh. Oh, I almost forgot. I've already made lunch. Come and eat together."
Growl!
"Ahem, that sounds good."
'How cute'
