Its been a week since I had been given the choice to chose a ability. I am currently back inside the other world, I am currently working on mastering my conjuration magic. Its like the system stated, I can make anything if I imagine it.
Though, it requires a lot of imagination. For example, you cannot only make anything if you do not know the dimensions of the thing inside of your imagination. It much like the power of creation in the anime called "Hero", where you have to visualize and know the fundamental of the object you are trying to create.
If not, then you will not be able to create anything, just by relying on imagination alone.
"Its a hard ability to master"
I said out loud, Loxley heard me said that and asked....
"What ability?"
I looked at her, as she asked me that question...
"Huh?....nothing, just said my thoughts out loud"
She looked at me, as if I was not telling the truth. She closed down her book and placed it down on the counter top. She then asked...
"You figured out your magic?"
'She knew?'
"Uhmm.....not really, I am just trying something new"
"You don't need to lie, its pretty obvious that you had figured out your own magic"
"How can you confidentally assume that?"
She sighed and fixed up her hair.....
"Its because I can sense an aura around you, even though it is small and not stable, I can still sense it using mana eyes"
Mana eyes? The hell is that?
"Mana eyes? What is that?"
She extended her right arm forward and it started to glow, kinda like when Everard was usung his own magic.
"Its like Everard's magic"
"Yes, like my fathers. Judging from your reaction, my father probably used his own magic to temporarily immune to excessive heat, right?"
I nodded, she then continued talking....
"That was mana, being passed through your body. It is why us humans can use magic, although it has not been proven. Mana is like fuel to magic, without mana you cannot use magic"
"Oh, so you need to have mana in order to use your own magic?"
She nodded and agreed to my question, she then further explained...
"Although there are cases of where people that have mana cannot use magic, because they do not possess any talents nor a gift, even they had been doing the same things repeatedly. However, those without magic can use their own mana to enhance their own physical attributes, and is pretty common in people that uses swords to fight"
Oh, so like Haki? In that pirate anime?
"So if you can sense my mana, does it have any color?"
She shook her head at my question...
"No, mana does not have any color. It is an aura that is being emitted by your body, just like the sword my father made"
She pointed towards the sword that was made by a scale of the Hilelit.
"But, Citra had said that only dark magicians can sense the aura of that sword, so how can you say that?"
"Its because I helped my father make that sword, and also you are correct. I cannot sense the aura of that sword, neither does my father. But, due to the same method my father did, to temporary gave you his magic. My father and I had the opportunity to sense the aura of that sword, thanks to Citra"
Oh, so thats why...makes sense.
"So.....it can also be used as armor?"
She nodded, and the opened up the book and began to use her magic. Scriptures started to form, and the holographic image showed a person wielding a sword.
"Can you sense the aura of this person?"
I shook my head and said no to her question. She then suddenly grabbed my hand, and the so called mana started flowing inside body, and for some reason I could sense a strange glow on the person.
"Can you sense it now?"
I nodded, she explained...
"The reason why you sense the aura right now, is because of the "mana eye". I gave you some of my mana directly to your eye, and hence why you can sense this persons aura right now"
"Okay...is mana something you use immediately or not?"
"Not technically"
"What do you mean by "not technically" "
She pulled back her hand and then the holographic image changed, it showed a text that I can read thanks to the system translating it for me.....
"Just like magic, you need to control your mana, in order to accurately and precisely use your own magic. First you need to bring out your mana and learn how to control it, and then when you finally learn how to control your mana, you can accurately use your own magic"
"But, how can I sense the aura of that sword, when I cannot even use my own mana?"
"Its a bit different"
She turned around and picked up the sword, and placed it on the counter top. She pointed down at the sword, and looked directly at my eyes.....
"You sensed the aura of this sword when my father showed you this, right?"
I nodded.....
"Well, its because like I once said. Dark magic is a different level compared to other magic types. Its hard to explain, because I have only met three dark magicians in my life, including Citra. But, basically they said, that they could sense the dark energy or aura, even when they could not use mana nor their own magic. So I think that also applies to you, when you first saw this sword"
So, its like a passive skill? Like even when you are not even using the skill, it automatically turns on whenever there is dark energy?
"You are right, magic is a complex thing to understand"
She nodded, and agreed to my comment.....
"Yes, exactly. That is why I said, Humanity is still trying to figure out what magic is. Well, anyway, I'll explaining magic any further, because it might further complicate and confuse you even more"
"Okay, thank you for that"
She closes up the book, and then stretched out both of her arms, while making a cute noise.
"Anyway, so what kind of ability can you use?"
"Hmm...its hard to explain, so I'll just show you"
"You do know that I cannot see dark magic, right?"
'Oh yeah, I totally forgot'
"Oh, I forgot about that"
"Just explain it the best you can"
I stretched both of my arms, since they were getting sore...
"I do not know if this a 100% accurate, but everytime I try to imagine a thing inside of my mind, it becomes real"
"Hmm...."
I expected her to have a much more reaction than that, she then said afterwards...
"Oh, like you can create things inside your mind, and whatever you created inside your mind becomes real?"
I nodded, and I was impressed that she immediately understood what my magic is.
"What kind of creation? Inanimate objects or animate objects?"
"I am quite sure, but I think it depends on my imagination"
Well, thats what the system told me.
"Makes sense, after all like Citra explained, dark does magic target the mind. So I think that also applies to your magic, I do not know for other dark magicians though"
"Oh yeah, she did say that. Speaking of Citra, have you got any idea what kind of ability Citra has, Loxley?"
"Huh? Why are you asking?"
"I remember when I first met Citra, and I asked what abilities dark magicians have, she stood up and placed her hand on my forehead-"
"And you were transported to a dark place, right?"
She interrupted on what I was trying to say. I think she also experienced it, the dark bottomless pit of the abyss.
"Yeah, hoe did you know? Did she also did that to you?"
She nodded, and had this joyful expression on her face. She then told me that...
"I asked her to do that to me, it was a humbling and scary experience"
Then why are you happy while saying that? Are you a masochist?
"You seem to be very happy about experiencing it, huh?"
She nodded, and then told me...
"Its because I had the chance to understand Miss Citra's magic, and also no. I have no idea what kind of abilities she has, except the one she used on my father, me and you"
"Is that so?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I was curious"
We then continued our conversation about magic and mana, until it was time for me to go back to the original world. I said goodbye to Loxley, and I went back to the original world.
As usual, I was inside the abandoned house.
"It turned out not being a difficult clean up as I have thought it would be"
For the past week, I had been cleaning out this abandoned house every day, after the time hits 1 am. It was not a difficult clean up as I had thought it would be, for only four days, I managed to clean out all of the trash inside and barricaded the all of the windows and made a new door.
So that way, if a person wants to explore the inside of this house. They would not be able to get in, since I made the barricades and door with reinforced steel.
