"What was that?"
He raised his hand and saw the mist flowing through his fingers. He felt like he had perfect control over the mist so he waved his hand to make it spin around it.
He used both his hands to mold and shape it before he thought of something.
'Darkness. '
The mist suddenly turned into a mass of rolling shadows that flowed like water around him. He could 'feel' the shadows like they were solid which was just so peculiar.
"Ragnarok, give it a try. Think of something and I think it will work.
"
Ragnarok did the same and drew in the strange mist and thought of the scary lights in the sky. He closed his eyes to picture those and bursts of electricity flashed around the wolf for a few seconds that stopped soon after.
"Was that magic?"
Alexander thought of something else and turned the mist into flames that covered his hand like a glove.
"Spin. "
As he said that the flames on his hand began to coil and spin around his hand perfectly.
"How easy?"
If any mage saw what he did they would curse the world at the unfairness. Even top genius took hours to even be able to feel mana.
It took them even longer to be able to shape it, not to mention Alexander who had never even thought of magic in his life.
"Wait a minute?"
He gathered the mist in his palm and made it condense into a mass.
'Red Diamond. '
A giant rush of mist which was mana condensed in his palm into a small red crystal. He held it up to his face to get a look at it and shook his head.
'Not a diamond, it only looks like it. '
He squeezed it down and cracked it into dust.
'Guess it won't be that easy. However, if I can make gold to sell, I will be able to get a kick start of funds.
That or scammed. '
He was excited to see how far magic could go, so he decided to keep playing around with it. However, just as he was going to do that he heard footsteps going toward his room.
'Crap. '
He very quickly focused on his ears and tail and magically they vanished as if they never were there. As for the hole in his pants, it also disappeared.
Miki walked into his room as it was time to eat.
"Alexander, lunch is ready. "
He got up and walked down to eat. His mind was focused on magic, so he just followed the motions.
'What can I do with magic? What are the limitations? What I am doing is just making mana do something, no spells. Where can I even learn spells, to begin with?"
When he sat down he grabbed his fork and stuffed the food into his mouth. He did not chew as his enhanced senses were disgusted with it.
Nothing was wrong with it to a normal person, but to him, it was full of flaws.
Gorou and Miki ate their food as they watched him eat the food. He pretends to chew as he really could barely stomach it.
"It's delicious. "
His body began to break down the food, but not for nutrients. He would have to eat plenty of normal food to sustain himself as a 9-tail had high requirements.
Especially because his bloodline had come from a Goddess that claimed to be the daughter of Fenrir.
Miki smiled at the praise.
"Thank you. I tried my best.
"
'Oh my God, this is foul. '
He drank some of the miso soup and felt the need to puke.
Ragnarok noticed and bit his leg to get him to calm down. That feeling managed to let him swallow all of it without puking.
Gorou and Miki ate their own food while Alexander felt like killing himself.
He also paced himself to not look like he was a slob, but he was about to cry. After what seemed like forever he finally managed to eat the whole thing.
"Thank you for the meal?"
Miki smiled at him.
"You can have seconds. "
'NO!'
"I'm ok. Thank you.
"
He went back up to his room with Ragnarok and fell straight on the bed.
'Holy shit that was the nastiest thing ever. If I was human it would be normal, but what changed? Do I need to eat raw meat these days or something?'
He sighed as he closed his eyes to sleep. This was going to be terrible if his meals were going to be like that.
He would have to find out what he could eat, but for now, he was stuck.
---
After he was adopted by the Hyuoudous they helped him get accustomed to his new home. They were kind people but Alexander had been searching for information.
One thing he found was his wolf bloodline made his mind clearer, faster and stronger.
He was always smart, but now he felt he was even smarter. He was constantly experimenting with his magic on what he could and could not do.
Making the mana take shape of different elements was easy, but making it do spells was not.
He was only shaping raw mana and not in magic circles so he could not do the advanced stuff. He also noticed that some of the mana he absorbed seemed to be outside his control.
It seemed to be gathered somewhere he could not access.
He had no idea why, but he just thought it related to the so-called armor and sword he was given. The more time passed the stronger his beastly instincts became.
He was considered a puppy at the moment as an adult 9-tailed wolf was a calamity class creature.
Alexander at every moment of his free time experimented with his magic. In the end, he managed to create some gold nuggets that he would have to find a place to sell.
He would either have to find someone who was willing to buy or a jewelry store.
At the moment he was in the living room with his eyes closed. Ragnarock was being carried by Miki as he was quite friendly when told to be.
