No More Pain For This Villain.

Chapter 27 26

?

Smug,

Right now, I've successfully formed my first ever magic spell after coming to this world.

The fireball shone brightly on top of my right palm, making a little crackling sound while blazing aggressively.

I pushed the mana from my core to throughout my whole hand to kind of trigger the spell out of me. It's a simple spell, but I am just mesmerised in the moment where, as a person who came from a world where magic didn't exist to a world where everything is completely outdoing my normal common sense,

"How is it?" I asked; Marylin has been quiet for a while now. Her eyes were glued to my palm, like she had a lot of thoughts going through her mind.

"Why is this fire so violent?" That's not supposed to be a fire a kid like you can create," Marylin asked, there was a visible frown on her face like she was seeing something that she absolutely hates.

"Huh?" I can't make sense of what she is saying, but one thing is for sure:

'she isn't pretty happy about this fireball, right Smokeball, Smokeball?" I thought as I called Blaze inside for help, but there was no response.

"What do you mean, Mrs. Marilyn?" I asked warily,

"I've seen you form spells before, but the nature of your spells weren't this aggressive; instead, they used to be more on the calm side, but right now it's completely opposite; it's almost going rogue in your hand." Marylin said as she slowly got up from her seat, building a little tension in the room. My mind was racing to find excuses or any other way to get out of the situation safely.

Gulp,

' it's because the guy you used to know is no longer here; I AM COMPLETELY A DIFFERENT PERSON.' I wanted to shout these words, but calmly gulped them down my throat.

Fushhh

I immediately dispersed the fireball in my hand so as not to let her focus on that any more; I just had to stop the supply of mana that was being used to maintain the form of the spell.

"The nature of my spells?" I tried to play it innocent by asking this question; I really know what a spell's nature means, but at least it'll stray us from the topic a little.

"Psych is something that affects how your spells are going to be. The way you think, the way you behave—all these things are going to determine the nature of your spell. Just like right now, what happened? Why did this fireball have such a dangerous destructive power?" But Marylin was not going to let it slide so easily as she tried to push me into the corner with her questions. She walked and stood in front of me, Marylin slightly bent forward and placed her hands on both of my shoulders as she looked me dead in the eyes, at least she tried since my eyes are covered because of my long hair. 

Rustle

"What's happening Ren? answer me." Marylin said,she brought her face close to me,her long bright silver hair was hanging over her lift shoulder limply as her Stern eyes never left me out of their site.

Silence,

At that moment, a passionate voice came from the bottom of my chest,

'WOHOOO!!!!  She smells nice, right, Princess, did I miss anything spicy?' Blaze was back and was unfortunately very energetic like he always is,

«Tremble»

' BASTARD!!!!' why is this good for nothing sh*t-faced parasite is not present when we need him, but at the moment when there is absolutely no demand for his presence, Just why?for now I ignored him,

'it's no good, I have to get out of this situation.think Ren ,,, think,,,think ,,,, ah!! yes!! I can do that,hope that'll work.' at that moment I was struck by a very cliche but useful idea and that was,

"I don't know what you're talking about but it's been like this from the time when Mary slapped me in the Tavern, I was very depressed and after that time whenever I used magic it turned out like this,but I thought it was nothing worth mentioning."I said, I don't even know what words I am spouting right now because most of it sounds bullshit but Marylin's rapidly changing facial expressions were the proof that the things I am saying are taking effect on her,

"I just haven't gotten over the fact that my relationship with Mary no longer exists; sometimes I just don't want to accept it."and with this I hammered the last nail in the coffin, now I just have to wait for Marylin to speak and see if she was taken in by my lie.

"Huh?"Marylin's face was devoid of any colour,like her life has been drained out of her.

The hands pressing onto my shoulders were slowly released and Marylin backed away a little, making herself comfortable in her seat again,

"Mrs Marilyn, you fine?"I asked, thinking that i might have overdone it with the story i guess but there was no choice, I had to involve Mary to make my lie seem more realistic and believable and what I said was not a complete lie but just a mixture of a small lie in lots of truth,

"Y-yeah, I am fine."Marylin said,her voice breaking slightly.

"Sorry for my previous behaviour and I also apologize for what my daughter did to you, looks like break up does mess up with the ones way of thinking, I was just a little flustered by the little change please don't mind it."Marylin said as she continuously bowed while sitting,

"No,It's not your fault to begin with and in the end you were only worried about me so it's really fine."I tried to get her to stop from apologizing any further.

"You said Mary slapped you; can you tell me about it?" Marylin asked; there was visible sadness in her eyes.

" "I decided not to answer this time; it'll only ignite another issue, and that's something I cannot handle right now,

Sigh

Seeing me all quite like this, Marylin sighed heavily, "I think we should stop here for today. Tomorrow is a big day, so let's not think about this anymore." Marylin said, as she indirectly indicated to me to leave her alone for some time,

"Big day?" I was a little perplexed by her way of addressing tomorrow—is there something special that's going to happen tomorrow?

"Ahh, don't worry about it, just make sure that you are here on time." Marylin said,

"Okay, then I'll be going now." "Bye, Mrs. Marilyn." I turned and started walking towards the door to leave.

"Ruu, make sure you meditate to calm your mind a little." Marilyn suggested,

'who's going to tell her that mediation is no longer an option.' Blaze's voice echoed in the back of my mind,

Nod

I just nodded without saying anything and walked out of the room.

Slide,

"Huh?" The moment I crossed the threshold, I felt like someone had just been there a moment ago.

I looked around to confirm, but there was no one.

"Maybe I am just imagining things." I said,

I walked downstairs and then left Marylin's house.
