Alice’s PoV

My bad mood quickly disappeared as I ate the meat, Kelz is great cook he said I can find him if I want him to cook for free but his condition is to eat with me. Of course I agreed happily. He left after helping me washing the dishes.

I looked at the title of the book the hut gave me, I can’t understand it but I have a guess the word must be Seman. Keyrs the one who used Magic on us to translate language doesn’t work on reading? This is very troublesome. It means I have to learn another language?

I frowned, how am I going to learn Magic then? Kelz said the hut has anything I want. Maybe the hut has something to translate this book but I don’t want to go back. I don’t have a choice do I?

I went into the place were the hut was in, but I saw nothing.

“Hey! I know you’re there! Stop hiding!” I yelled like a crazy woman if my classmates saw me like this, I would hide from them forever. “Or else…I’ll burn this place! I’m not kidding.”

Silence, no response.

I heard a cry behind me, I turned back and I saw a young girl crying she was trembling with fear looking at me with wide eyes. Great. I scared her. Now what?

I smiled awkwardly, “Shuush, its okay.” I tried to calm her down but she scampered like a cornered mice. I look at the little girl running away from me, am I really scary?

“Pfft!” I heard a snicker, I didn’t bother to look I knew it was the hut.

“Ha. Ha. Funny.” I said dryly, “Now let me in.”

The hut didn’t replied.

I screamed.

…

“You think I’m joking? When I said I will burn this place.” I muttered while holding a flint and a knife. I borrowed it from Kelz he was confused why would I want it but I didn’t say anything. I gathered some dry grass and leaves.

“What are you doing?” The hut asked, it will respond to me now but it will not let me enter.

“Burning your place.”

“How? You don’t know any Magic to make fire.”

“I don’t need Magic to start a fire.”

“Impossible!”

I smiled slyly, so this world don’t know how to start a fire without magic. It was no surprise to me though. I mean they have Magic! Why would they find a way to make fire when they can wave their hand and poof there’s fire.

“How about a bet then?” I grinned. “If I can make a fire without Magic, you will be my servant for a hundred years. If I can’t I will give you new knowledge you would never know.” I’m not sure how old the hut is but I’m guessing it lived more than a thousand years. My proof? This is a world of Magic. Anything is possible.

“You? Give me knowledge I don’t know?” The hut laughed like it had heard the most funny joke in the world. “I don’t mean to brag, but I am the most knowledgeable person in the whole world of Thera!”

“Oh really?” I chuckled, “Then let me give you a question if you answered wrong…”

“If I’m wrong, I will agree to the bet.”

I smiled, “How many elements are in this world?”

“Are you mocking me kid?” The hut sounded angry, I rolled my eyes why did he sound like I insult him?

“No, just answer.” I frowned, “I’m serious about this question.”

“Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, Light, Darkness, and Space. There are seven of them, although the humans think Creation is part of the elements they’re wrong.”

“You’re wrong.” I bluntly said.

“I’m not stupid kid, my answer is correct and you don’t have any new knowledge.” It sounded disappointed.

“Actually there are more than a hundred elements in this world.”

“You’re crazy! Just go away!”

“The element of Water is made up of elements. They are oxygen and hydrogen.” I explained but the hut didn’t listen instead he changed the subject.

“Do you know why I don’t believe you?”

“Why?”

“If you know what the element of water is made of, then why can’t you use Magic? To use Magic one must use their imagination but it is very mind draining if it isn’t clear. This is the reason why Mages chant to use Magic. Arch-Mage doesn’t need to chant because they can chant within their mind.” It explained, I need to use my imagination to use Magic? Wow! It is very easy.

“What about the Magic to translate language?”

“It isn’t Magic. Its a Spell. Imagination is also the key but one must be a Wizard. Go away!” Well at least the hut explained how to use Magic.

Next, my goal is to kill some beast to increase my level. I had a feeling the King will call us back.

Antonio’s PoV

“Fireball.” I pointed at the Three-Eyed Wolf who was badly injured in our battle, it was fun but I have to end it. The wolf howled in pain as it burned after a few minutes it died. I should have imagined the fireball will explode to kill it immediately, it was pitiful to look at it dying slowly with a painful expression.

“Can I ask a question Antonio?” The soul, Rei. He told me his name after we escape from the King a few days ago.

“Hmm?” I hummed in response.

“Why did you say something when you’re using Magic when you can do it without chanting?”

“Because its cool.”

“Cool? You mean you feel cold when you are using Magic?” Rei sighed in pity. “You have a disease. May the God of Life bless you.”

I sighed and I didn’t bother to explain.

“I don’t have one.”

“Yes, you do.”

“What is it?”

“Stupidity.” He said simply. When he first talked to me I thought he is a guy who has a good attitude, boy I was wrong. So wrong.

“I should find some priest to exorcise you out of my body.” I said.

“Just absorb the Mana already.”

“Okay.” I touch the corpse of the wolf and absorb the Mana from it, the wolf’s body disappeared and I heard a explosion in my brain. After a few seconds I felt like I was in heaven. It was addicting the feeling of absorbing the power. I killed a lot of wolves, I started at the One-Eyed Wolf since its strength is the equal of a 1st Level Mage or Knight, a Three-Eyed wolf is equal to the strength of a 9th - 5th Level of a High Mage or Knight.

“Congratulations.” Rei said in a flat voice. “You are now a 7th level High Mage-Low.”

I smiled, my level increased a lot the King was right being summoned from an another world has its own advantage. “Let me try to use Air Walk.” Air Walk is a Magic I made from making a platform of Mana to step on Air but I can’t do it with my level alone, Rei said to try again when I am at Wizard level.

“Here I go!” I jump and I imagined a platform below my feet and used Wind Magic to propel me higher, “It worked!”

“Idiot, feel your Mana pool only a quarter of it is remaining. Go down if you don’t want to break your bones.” Rei warned angrily, “You need to feel your Mana Pool when doing Magic! If your Mana runs out you will damage your mind and body!”

I listened to him but I was disappointed, “My Mana is not enough for flying…”

I felt free when I was flying to escape from the King, I want to do it again.

“The way you use your Mana is horrible!” Rei reminded me for the hundredth time, “You need to learn to control your Mana efficiently.”

“I know, but how?”

“I can’t teach you properly because I am a soul inside your body.” Rei said, “You need to have a teacher, go to the Forest of Evina. There is someone I knew when I was alive, her name is Telu she is at the 1st Level Master-peak. She can control Qi perfectly. I’m not sure what her level is now though since it has been four years ago when I saw her.”

“Will she teach me willingly?”

“Maybe, I think she will ask you a request.” Rei said, “Let me warn you, don’t agree to her request if you do. I will make you regret it.”

I nodded.

“Just tell her the truth about how you are from a different world and Seth was killed by the King. That’s it.”

“Why do I need to tell her about Seth?”

“Just listen to me.” Rei seemed like he didn’t want to talk about it. Just who is Rei? If I told Alice about Rei would she be able to guess his identity?
