Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 39 A Complete 1st Circle Mage.

?"Krrriii~"

The little spirit appeared in front of his eyes with a bright smile on her face.

"Flamey! You are back!"

"Krriiii~ Krri~"

Vaan exclaimed in joy. The Little Spirit started circling around Vaan with an excited look on her face. Her eyes shined as she glanced at Vaan, and Vaan quickly understood what this fellow wanted.

"Are you hungry, Flamey?"

He questioned.

The Little Spirit nodded.

"Of course you are, you haven't eaten for a whole day. I was worried about you, you know?"

Vaan spoke as he quickly absorbed the surrounding Mana, circulated it all around his Mana Veins and then he extended his index finger towards the Little Spirit, the little spirit held his finger with her two hands and started feeding on Vaan's Mana.

Vaan chuckled.

Honestly, in these last few days, his relationship with this little Spirit improved a lot, the spirit feels a little intimidated whenever he attacks his opponent ruthlessly, maybe she remembers how the previous Vaan treated her, however, whenever Vaan notices her acting strangely, he always pats her head and reassures her with a gentle smile.

Not to mention he also had his trump card that never fails,

That was offering Mana to her.

No matter how intimidated she felt, this greedy little fellow will instantly forget about everything as soon as Vaan offers her Mana and would start flying around, acting all cute. She was quite intelligent and knew how to get what she wanted.

Vaan liked this greedy fellow a lot, he even gave her a name.

Flamey.

Yes, Flamey, that was all the previous underworld gang leader come up with.

Don't expect much.

"Are you full?"

Vaan questioned after feeding Flamey for 5th time. It is usually around this round when Flamey is satisfied.

"Krrriii~~"

And just like Vaan expected, the Flamey nodded, she then flew around the library then sat on the Vaan's table, carefully looking at the pen and paper.

Seeing her, Vaan quickly recalled what he was doing, and,

"Alright, Flamey, don't disturb me okay? This is important, we will play later."

"Krrriii~~"

Flamey nodded her head.

Then, with a determined look on his face, Vaan drew the Magic Circle, this was a simple process, the real thing started after this, he now had to fill in the Inner Circles.

Vaan took a deep breath, then, he started.

And of course.

He failed the first time. He couldn't completely store the spell in the given space. Vaan didn't give up and continued,

He failed many times, sometimes, he successfully filled one Inner Circle but failed to fill others, just like that, 4 hours passed by,

"Fuckkkk!!"

Vaan cursed out loud as he fell back on his chair.

4 hours…

That was way longer than what he had imagined in his mind, Vaan realized that even though he was good with Magic, when it comes to drawing, he was shit.

However, in the end, his efforts finally bore fruit.

After wasting around 15 papers, in front of him was the was the final image of his completed Magic Circle.

Without wasting any more time, Vaan stood up. It was now time to actually use this Magic Circle, honestly, Vaan was much more confident in this step rather than in the drawing one,

*Whoosh*

And just as he thought, he successfully created the Magic Circle on his first try.

His Magic control was monstrous.

"Heh, should I try releasing?"

Vaan thought to himself.

No mages were allowed to release Magic inside the Library, the books here were very precious and were one of the reasons the Vaan family stands so strong to this day, any damage to these books was a serious offense.

Vaan, however, trusted himself and his Magic control,

With a confident smile on his face, he drew the Magic Patterns,

[Link 1, 2, 4 and, conjure]

*Flicker*

A Fire Spike formed. Vaan moved it around the room, he didn't activate the 3rd Inner Circle that had [Speed] spell stored inside. Vaan was not confident enough to control it, once he was done testing, he used the 4th Inner Circle, [Clear], the patterns inside the Magic Circle disappeared, the Fire Spike disappeared as well.

"A second faster."

Vaan noted.

With Inner Circles and [Clear], the time he needed to cast a spell from the start was reduced to 2 seconds.

This was the best a 1st Circle Mage could do, it was still a little slow, but Vaan was satisfied for now.

He then glanced at his Magic Circle which was shining brightly and couldn't help but continuously stare at it with an impressed look on his face.

He was finally a complete 1st Circle Mage.

Now even if he fought against other 1st Circle Mages just by using Magic, he was confident.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Vaan noticed Flamey curiously looking at his Magic Circle, with a proud look on his face, he turned towards Flamey and,

"How is it? Aren't I great?"

He questioned.

"Kri?"

Flamey, however, just tilted her head in confusion.

"Do you not understand what it is? Don't worry, you don't hav-"

Vaan wanted to reply, but then suddenly, the Flames that surrounded the Flamey moved and formed a Magic Circle that was exactly similar to Vaan's.

"Huh?"

Vaan was surprised.

He could feel it, that was not a Magic Circle, that was just Flames, where others could barely form a Fireball, Firespike, Rope, and other simple objects, Flamey's control over her Flames was so strong that she was using it to draw his complicated Magic Circle.

'To think she would perfectly imitate it…'

Vaan was surprised, however, this was just the start,

Little Flamey glanced at him as if checking if he was paying attention or not, then,

She formed another Magic Circle.

A Magic Circle which was 1.5 times bigger than Vaan's Circle and had… 6 Inner Circles…

"Krrii."

"You… You want me to use this Magic Circle…?" Vaan questioned with a surprised look on his face.

"Krriiii!"

Flamey nodded with a bright look on her face.
