Today it hasn’t been a good day, I haven’t realized how important Leonore was for me in my life until she depart and went with her family.

  I was reprimanded all the time in today’s training by Master Rod, my mind wasn’t in the correct spot and that shows with my poor performance. We had some matches and in every single one that I took part, my opponents mop the floor with me.

  The sad thing is that it didn’t held importance losing all the time, I feel so detached to the situation the whole time.

  One thing that I notice is that I’m the only one affected with the departure of Leonore.

  Taking a deep breath I try to calm my emotions but it’s really difficult, cleaning the tears that pass through my face.

  I start to wonder if the reason that my emotions are overwhelming me it’s that my child body influence in some way, or if it’s something simpler like being abandoned by my family two times, in this life and before my reincarnation, and losing the only person who loved me. I remind myself that she didn’t die and she probably will live a happy life.

  It takes me a few hours to recover from my depression, I don’t stop being sad, it means I manage to handle my emotions.

  Retrieving the mana stone that I hide with care, I touch it and think about Leonore, in my heart she become my real mother in this new life.

  ‘How full of myself could I be?’

  Leonore knew about my mana skills for a long time according to her letter. The moment I read that part it took me by surprise.

  In my past life I used to consider that a low grade mana stone didn’t cost a lot of money, but that it’s from the point of view of an establish adventurer.

  I can only imagine how much effort it took to Leonore be able to buy one, and she didn’t spent money in this article, for years she’s been in charge to buy my clothes.

  “Haaa…” Exhaling a deep breath, I put aside all the troubling thoughts for later.

  I take seat in lotus position on the floor and prepare myself with some breathing exercises to clear my mind.

  [Meditation Lv1]

  That’s a surprise, after years of practice I finally obtain the meditation skill, if it took me this long to acquire it, that can only mean how bad at meditating I am.

  I hope this helps me with my plan.

  I want to take a step forward in my path towards magic and become a tier two magus or better known as a magus in the second circle.

  This deep into the night the servants have already retired to their own resting place, and the guards never come near my room, so there’s nothing to worry about being interrupted.

  Before starting I take a moment to look at my status window to motivate myself.

  When I’m ready to commence is exactly the middle of the night and I can see moonlight coming through the window.

  I close my eyes, feel the mana in the air and attracted it to me.

  My mana network starts decorating my skin the moment I channel the mana through it, filling my mana core to the brim, I accompany the whole process with hand signs in a specific manner.

  If even one step is done incorrectly the whole process will be interrupt and the mana core will shatter in a million pieces, potentially crippling me for life. For this exact reason is that the magus train and study for years before attempting passing through their next tier.

  I can feel the mana in the air vibrating, responding to my call, this phenomenon will continue to increase the more I advance in the process.

  ‘Sssssss’ I can hear the sound of the air against the crystal of the window.

  With the low grade mana stone in front of me everything it’s ready.

  “Dea Hecate, quaeso,illumine et magicam viam dirige. Spondeo coram purissima universitatis industria, pro posse accedere energiam quam spondee ad stateram universi conservandam.”

  (Goddess Hecate, please illuminate and guide my path in magic. I make a vow in the face of the unique power of the universe, in exchange to be able to access to the universe energy I promise to maintain the equilibrium.)

  From the second tier magus onwards, one needs to make a different vow to Goddess Hecate and hope the vow reaches her and gets her approval.

  The moment my last words leave my mouth I can feel a change in the room. I open my eyes and can see the mana in the air starting to turn into a gaseous state, coming near my body and caressing my skin like a small kiss, I know what this means, my vow was accepted.

  I close my eyes again and guide the mana in my body towards my hands, I don’t stop for a single moment to make the hand signs necessary, with little effort the mana leaves my hands and come to the low grade mana stone, connecting my mind and the mana that’s inside.

  The mana stones not only contain concentrate mana inside them, otherwise it would be really easy to replicate them with artifacts and make them unnecessary in rituals, in the forge of weapons or even when a magus wants to pass through the next tier.

  What truly make them especial is the connection that they hold with the energy of the universe, researchers in higher levels and with unique skills have determined with a lot of experiments that the effect they hold cannot be replicate or at least not with our current technology.

  Being a low grade mana stone the one my mind is connecting the link that I feel to a higher power is minimum but for my advancement it should be enough.

  “Extractum.” With a tier one spell I extract everything that’s inside in the mana stone to my mana core and the stone shatters, leaving nothing behind.

  When the energy enter my core in starts to vibrate, incapable to contain it, unless it changes itself into something else.

  “Serva eam.” I make another tier one spell that should help my core through the whole process.

  I start to feel how it expands to better contain the energy.

  Rain starts hitting the house and I can hear how some thunder starts to concentrate on the sky. It’s like the last time I obtain my mana core, but this time I can feel it’s more powerful. The earth starts shaking and some furniture inside the room starts being flip over, but I’m not going to stop.

  I guide the mana in a specific manner so it can accelerate the process.

  The more I feel an advance in my mana core, the more the house starts shaking.

  The rumble began like a distant disaster approaching, low and uncertain, at first it was just a strange vibration underfoot, like the floorboards had suddenly come alive. Then, without warning, the entire house shuddered violently. Walls groaned. Windows rattled in their frames until the crystals shattered and the air comes inside the room uncontrollably with a lot of force.

  Outside the room I can hear a lot of chaos, furniture hitting the floor, decorations made of porcelain shattering against the floor, a lot of noise what I assume are the paintings hanging in the walls getting smash. The floor itself seemed to ripple, shifting and jerking beneath every step the guards take like some angry beast waking from slumber.

  I call for the universe and the universe is responding to me, recognizing my existence and accepting it, I experienced this phenomenon in my past life but not in this magnitude. Something must be different but I have no idea what it is.

  I feel how my mana core is in the second tier now, I managed to do it without any assistance from a proper magus. If someone wants to have an easier process can get the assistance of a magus in a higher tier than their own.

  “Gaaagghhh!” The air filled with a deep, resonant roar of a creature in the distance, as if the creature could feel me and what I just did.

  I open my eyes and can feel a better connection towards mana, this feeling will only increase with each tier I manage to advance, but I cannot precipitate, everything must be do at a proper time.

  I examine the room and notice how some dust trickled from the corners of the ceiling, the chaos didn’t stop just because I am a tier 2 Magus, and it continues to grow with every second. Somewhere in the house I hear something heavy toppled with a thud that echoed. Each second stretched on endlessly, the chaos of the servants and the guards growing louder.

  Cracks and grooves begin to appear on the walls, they expanding and don’t seem to stop.

  My danger sense screams at me and I know that I need to get out of here, I think the house is going down and I don’t want to die for a second time just yet.

  I stand up and without worrying for a change of clothes, I start running through the house, dodging every object that is in my way. The more I’m close to the exit, the stranger it appears to me how nobody is in my path.

  The moment I cross the principal door, I see everyone outside waiting under the rain, every servant and guard appear surprise when they see me. I assume that nobody remember my existence in the chaos, not even the guards that are supposed to guard the entrance of my room or the servants who attend me every day.

  Honestly? It doesn’t surprise me.

  With my heart pounding too loud in my chest, I come where everyone is reunited.

  I turn around and see how the tremors suddenly ease. The structure of the house stopped swaying, fragile silence filled the air.

  *Crash!* *Bum!* *Pah!*

  The house succumbs in the end and I notice how the corners of my lips start forming a smile.

  ‘Now, this is a good way to honor Leonore’s departure.’
