Author's Note: Sorry for the delay! Since I was busy with other things so here goes the update.

CHAPTER 5 - ASTONISHMENT

Seeing the [Fire Ball] in front of me, I was overwhelmed.

My heart was beating faster and my blood was boiling.

Since when was the last time I felt this excitement to this level?

Ah... Right.

I remember feeling this surge of emotion when I was in my previous world.

It was the time when our team discovered a new star system. It was a very good news for us that we began to celebrate to our heart's content.

Then we began naming it's planets and satellites. The Federation has a law that whomever discovered a new star system has the privilege to name the entire system.

I remembered our names became famous and also engraved in a large monument in the Federation capital.

Now seeing this large ball of fire, this is very nostalgic.

Hmm, but why is it that I'm feeling a bit dizzy?

It's like my vision is spinning.

Aarrggh!

What is this stinging sensation inside my head?

I can feel my knees shaking. Like it can't longer support my upper body.

Before I knew it, I passed out.

------

A minute earlier...

-- Yufa's POV --

I let out a sigh as I closed the book that I was reading.

There were other five thick books in front of me but I have done reading all of them.

All of these books were borrowed by me from the Alliance's grand library. A popular place known by everyone who is acquainted with the Alliance.

Since I'm a Cleric Mage, I'm also one of those people associated with them.

But these books doesn't seem to hold the answer to what I was looking for.

The cure for Ragna's condition.

That child of mine... Ever since Ronan told him about his current situation, he's been secluding himself in his dad's study room.

Every time when I look at him, I could only see determination in his eyes instead of sadness and bitterness.

At that time I realized, he's strong.

Never yielding to fate's dictation.

That attitude of his got into me. Since I'm his mother, I decided to help him no matter what.

Speaking of Ragna, where is he?

I never saw him inside Ronan's study room. Maybe he went outside to play.

After all he's just a child. It's just normal for kids to play outside.

"Madam! Madam!"

Our head maidservant, Ethel came rushing to me in the living room with a cold sweat on her face.

Basing on this its like there was something wrong.

"What's wrong Ethel?"

"Madam... Ragna... At the backyard!"

Hearing the name of my son, I quickly leave the living room and went straight ahead to the backyard.

Did someone invaded our home? Did someone try to kidnapped my child?

If I saw them I won't be polite to them!

I would kill anyone who dares to lay a finger to my precious son.

But once stepped out on the backyard, I was speechless.

In front me was this big and huge ball of furnace. It was like a scorching sun face to face and below it was...

"Ragna?"

I was dumbfounded.

My child was there... laughing. His hands have this weird round-like lights encircling them.

Just what are those?

And why is that he seems to enjoy himself?

Then suddenly I saw him somewhat staggering, like a swaying branch.

The big ball of fire began to waver as if it cannot maintain its form.

*PAM*

Ragna collapsed in an instant.

I rushed toward him by instinct and held him in my hands.

I healed him immediately with my [Heal] skill.

As I looked at his face, there was a small hint of fulfillment on his face.

Just what on Hicara is going on?
