Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 15 The Little Fairy

?*Flicker*

"Haa... Haha... Hahahaha!"

Vaan failed to control himself and laughed out loud as he realized that he had successfully cast his first spell.

"I... I succeeded!"

Vaan shouted in excitement as he couldn't get his eyes away from the flames burning in front of him.

These flames, they were a lot stronger than the flames he had summoned the first time when he used previous Vaan's muscle memory to cast a spell.

And this time, Vaan was sure, if he didn't wish for it or his Mana doesn't, the flames wouldn't disappear.

*Flicker* *Flicker*

After a minute or two, the flame flickered again. Vaan finally realized that his Mana was about to run out, therefore, he stopped releasing his Mana and the Flames and his Mana Circle disappeared.

With a confident smile on his face, Vaan absorbed Mana inside his body again, then Mana moved around his Body Veins, and a Magic Circle formed, he drew the patterns inside the Magic Circle and again,

*Flicker*

The Flames appeared again.

This time, the process was much smoother than the last time.

Vaan nodded in satisfaction.

His Mana ran out, he stopped his spell, then, he absorbed Mana again.

*Flicker*

Vaan continued this cycle like a madman.

And who could blame him?

His Hard work had finally paid off.

He could use Magic now.

He was officially a 1st Circle Mage now!

Even though he had only learned 1 spell and it was a simple spell that did nothing but summon flames, it was still progress.

And he had done it in just 12 days.

'Mother's theory was right. I am indeed a genius.'

Vaan had read about many Great Mages that had appeared throughout history, and none managed to cast their first spell in just 12 days.

Of course, he did have previous Vaan's muscle memory to help him out, his speed was still insane nonetheless.

Especially the Execution part, where a Mage is supposed to complete the circle using the Language of Magic, the process which needed a high level of magic control and was a 'Challenge' for all new Mages, a step that even the geniuses took months to master, Vaan could do it with just his mere thoughts.

The Mana moved as he wished, it expands if he wants, it contracts if he wants, it takes whatever shape he wants, and for all this, he didn't have to concentrate at all.

The step where most mages get stuck for years before they barely master it, Vaan could do it even if he is distracted by something else.

That was how ridiculously strong his Mana control was.

Thinking about it, Vaan couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Vaan wanted to cast the spell again, however, just as he was about to do so, his eyes fell on something that made him curious.

In this dimly lit room, Vaan's eyes fell on another source of light.

A light that came from behind the curtains.

'Hmm?'

Vaan's eyes fell on a small head that was peeking at him from those curtains.

Those big bright eyes that oozed innocence and doubt, the bright orange-red skin, and the hair that seemed like burning flames, Vaan wasn't much of a sucker for cute things, however, in front of this little creature, Vaan's heart melted.

Vaan found it funny how she was trying to hide behind the curtain but had absolutely no clue how the light emitting from her body was giving her away.

"Ahem Ahem." Vaan coughed.

Then, he started walking towards the little fairy with a curious look on his face.

The fairy's body flinched when she realized that Vaan had seen her, she panicked, it was as if she couldn't believe she had been found out.

She started looking around, as if she was trying to find a way to escape, however, seeing that Vaan was already close to her, she decided that she couldn't run away anymore and gave up.

Vaan carefully pulled the curtain back, revealing the fairy's body, she was no more than 10 cm in length, her body was orange-red in color, and she had a pair of white-orange wings that helped her float in the air.

She was surrounded by flames, those flames, however, did not feel burning hot, rather, Vaan felt strangely attracted to them.

Unconsciously, Vaan slowly moved his index finger toward the little creature, however, the moment the little creature realized what he was doing, her body flinched and she quickly backed away.

Vaan frowned in confusion.

This cute little fairy...

Why was she looking at him with those fearful eyes?

Soon, however, new fragments of memories rushed into Vaan's head and he understood.

'This sick bastard...'

Vaan cursed the previous Vaan as he clenched his fists in anger.
