Element Magic

Chapter 1: Reincarnation

Arc 1 - Chapter 1: Reincarnation

Another world, a world that has magic. Everyone in the world uses magic as a matter of course. Magic is also used in everyday life and so on. Everyone thinks that magic is everything.

People assume that people who have a lot of magic are heroes, while those who have a little magic will be considered trash. Not only that, discrimination between circles also occurs because the nobility is said to have a large magic capacity compared to the middle and lower classes.

But what really happened was not because of that. Magic capacity can be increased if trained since childhood, and because people in the middle and lower classes have no way to learn it other than in the academy.

However, magic was not as popular at first, because magic was useless to humans in the past. It happened because humans in the past did not understand the mantra and neat, until when a sage appeared and changed all the magic that existed into useful things.

And that sage is me. I reincarnated because of my experiment that made a reincarnation spell in the past, and it worked. I was reborn as a 5-year-old Loid Astra.

I now live with my new parents in a small, rundown house, with broken but still-worn furniture. I can conclude that I was born among the lowest, and was in debt. My parents also looked malnourished, but they kept smiling at me and saying there was nothing to worry about.

Of course, I was worried about them because in my previous life I had no parents at all, and I didn't even know what parental affection was. Seeing other people having fun with their families, while I only think of magic.

This time I thought about stopping my experiment and decided to enjoy my second life as an ordinary human being.

I woke up from my dream and stared at the seedy roof but I liked it. It has been eight years since I reincarnated, and since then I have increased my magic capacity with the theories I have made, so that the increase in my magic capacity stopped when I was 13 years old.

Then I walked towards the broken mirror, but I still wore it. I looked at my black-haired self with dark black eyes. My body has also been trained so that my body is currently good.

"Loid, it's breakfast time" Suddenly a voice came from below.

I immediately went downstairs and saw a pitch-black haired woman with bright blue eyes preparing food. She is my mother, her name is Stella Astra, her magic attribute is water.

Unlike my previous memories, now one is only able to master one element. Unlike me who can use all four elements at once and also some other elemental and non-elemental magic.

"Where are you anyway?" I asked my mother.

"Outside, he is now again delivering goods to the shops" My mother replied as she stirred the food she cooked.

Because my family was among the lowest that made us short of money, my father was forced to work harder with my mother. I originally wanted to enjoy my second life by being an ordinary person, but seeing my current condition made me think of becoming a witch again because that way I could make a lot of money.

Being a witch is not easy, it is necessary to obtain a certificate from a magic academy to become an official magician, and can work in various places such as becoming a royal magician, or becoming an adventurer. But the problem is, one from the lower class is said to be impossible to enter the academy.

The academy was originally made for nobles who then could enter the academy on the condition of having a lot of money, as well as magic talent. Unlike the nobles who can enter despite not having any talent at all. From that I could deduce that I was impossible to enter the academy in the usual way.

Therefore, during these few years I tried to raise money to get into the academy by working side as a delivery boy with my father even if it was nothing, but it might be enough to get me into the academy.

If it is talent, I am obviously very talented because I am the one who found an effective way to use magic, although now magic is becoming weak again, but my knowledge is still the same as in the past.

Then, after a few minutes, my mother had finished preparing the meal, and I immediately sat down at the dinner table which looked fragile and almost destroyed, but was still nailed so as not to be destroyed. Breakfast this time was clear soup with hard bread.

It was my daily meal, clear soup made from water with a little salt mixture, and hard bread bought from the bakery at a cheap price. I had originally thought of using my magic and producing food from hunting, but I was not allowed out by the city guards unless I was 15 years old or had a supervisor.

Actually it was a good thing because in the past many children lost their lives due to monsters they met outside the city. But I'm really upset that it's not allowed to come out, even the walls have magic sensors that will activate if passed.

I could see it with my appraising eyes that I made with several layers of spells and with those eyes I could see the magic attributes of others along with their levels. Not only that, those eyes could see the flow of magic that was on the thing, like the magic sensors that were in the city.

Such a thing is called a magic artifact that can be obtained by making it, but now I see people wearing the same artifact as the one I knew in the past, which proves that the development of the artifact stalled. Not only that, I heard from an adventurer that artifacts were only found in ancient ruins.

Now, I immediately finished the meal and rushed to work. My job is delivery of goods, I deliver various goods to the shops and get paid 5 bronze. It was a small amount, yet precious to me.

Upon arrival at work, I was immediately called by a manager of the delivery company, call it the Boss.

"Oh Loid! Thank goodness you've arrived, there's a lot of work you have to do. You have to take this stuff to the magic academy" said the Boss while showing me a mound of magic stones in his room.

"Isn't this too much?" I asked to make sure of that.

"For you it's just a little bit, but it's just one place, and I'll make sure you get more money if you drive it." Persuade the boss by expecting a big reward.

"Well, I'll accept the offer" I replied.

Afterwards I walked towards the magic stone mound and raised my right hand forward and started chanting.

"Open Space!, Open the Gap, Other Dimension, [Space Storage]" I said to activate the spell.

Then all those magic stones instantly disappeared in an instant, and entered into another dimension of mine. Although it consumes a lot of magic energy, but it is very effective if carrying a lot of items. After that I immediately rushed to the magic academy to deliver the magic stones.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the entrance of the academy. The gate is large and filled with magic, but only to open and close the gate. Afterwards I entered and witnessed the leading part of the academy.

A strong and magnificent building. Its size is large so it can accommodate many people. A magic school that became one of my targets to become rich. Although I don't know if I'll be accepted or not.

But more than that, I have to deliver the goods immediately to get the money. Then, after a few minutes, I arrived at the academy warehouse which was shown by a teacher who was watching over me and also gave me a reward.

I took out all the magic stones in the warehouse without any remaining. After that I immediately took my wages of 1 silver. For me it was a huge sum, because I could buy good food for my family.

After taking the wages, I thoughtlessly walked out of the academy and rushed home. But on the way out, I suddenly felt a flow of magic heading towards me at high speed.

I wondered why he just attacked me, which made me try to approach him without thinking about asking him. But when I stepped up, He cast his spell and attacked me again.

Since this was outrageous, I decided to teach him a lesson and started chanting my spell to protect myself from his attacks. But before that, I watched her cast a fire spell, which automatically made me cast a water spell to serve as a protector.

"O Water!, Protect Me, With Your Water. [Water Shield]" Rapalku quickly.

The student launched a fire attack that was shaped like a spear, but had a smaller size than I remembered. The attack flew straight at me, but it did not give any effect due to my water protector.

From a distance saw the face of the student who was upset, I tried to approach him again, but he was getting angry and made a fire magic that I knew, namely [Ring Of Fire], a fire magic that forms like a ring and captures the target by draping it around the neck.

But the magic used by him was too weak that it was just like an ordinary ring in size. Therefore I immediately ran towards him to attack him for attacking me first for no apparent reason.

I slowly got closer, and also he attacked me even more with his panicked face. Until a few seconds later I immediately move by turning back and attacking the back of his neck so as to make him faint.

"Bas strange, attacking me suddenly like that. What am I wrong?" My complaint.

After that, a little girl appeared in front of me and examined the student. Being shocked by his sudden presence made me jump backwards as a form of self-defense. Then the girl approached me.

"Beating a D rank fire magic user is that easy by using E rank water magic, it is something to be proud of. And it looks like you're not a student here. So you, do you want to join this academy?" said the girl.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" I asked while checking her magic

I checked his magic using my appraiser eyes, from the visible He was able to use water magic all the way to Rank B. Not only that, he also had Rank E healing magic, and Rank F Space magic. Even though I am superior to him

When compared to me who is able to use four elements such as water, wind, earth, and fire up to Rank S, then other elements such as ice are already at level A. Non-elements like Blacksmiths had already reached level B. It can be said I have all the elements and Non-elements that exist because my knowledge in the past is still the same.

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yuna Undine, I am a direct descendant of the water hero, Erika Undine! And also I am the principal of this academy." Reveal it with confidence

Erika Undine, she was one of the heroes of the past, they were also one of my enemies because all my magic inventions were taken by the hero and recognized as hers, but in the end I still got the title of sage. I do hate him, but taking my revenge on his descendants is a little bad.

"If I were, Loid Astra. I'm just a delivery guy, and it's impossible for a lower class person to enter the academy" I refused

"If it's like that, it doesn't matter. Seeing someone talented shouldn't I accept it? Besides, if you don't have any fees or anything, I'll give you a scholarship. But it would most likely spark a debate between nobles. But take it easy, I am the principal of this academy, and also my ancestor who built it, even if the noble is opposed, I will expel from this academy." Evidently.

'Jackpot! this way I don't have to think about school fees at all, ' I thought to myself.

From the beginning I was indeed impossible to enter the academy due to the limited cost. But now, a golden opportunity appeared before me. I mustn't waste this opportunity.

"Well, I'll accept your offer. Besides, I also want to go to school here" I replied.

"Thank God then, before that I'd like to ask you, Do you know what to prepare before entering the academy?" Ask Yuna to me.

"Of course, the first was definitely a magic wand, then a magic textbook, continue the Grimoire." Evidently

"Not only that, you need a magic robe and a broomstick. Then I'll give you a letter of recommendation as well as some money to buy the equipment." Evidently.

Afterwards I was taken to his office and He gave me a letter of recommendation along with a bag of money containing 1 gold coin. Not only that, he explained to me what to do when the student election day took place.

After a few hours, I left the academy to go home. But on the way I saw a shop that sold grilled satay. Because it has not eaten meat for a long time makes me buy it directly with money from my work.

One silver, which was equivalent to one hundred bronze, while one gold was also equivalent to one hundred silver. I bought that satay for 2 stitches, and I bought my parents too so I ordered 10 stitches to take home.

It was hot during the day, a lot of people passed by and around. Various luxury horse vehicles appeared around the road. Though I live in the city, yet I still have not seen the city in its entirety.

Talnear, my hometown. The city is located in the kingdom of Lucytra and is included in the second largest city after the capital. The city is famous for its academy which is the second largest magic academy after the one in the capital, but it is still no less good than the one in the capital.

Even so, the city was also a trading center due to the large number of monsters that appeared near the city, more precisely in the demon forest near the city. But there was nothing to worry about, most of the students in the academy would be assigned to hunt in the demon forest. Not only that, most of the teachers from the academy were also the strongest magicians. That's what I heard from the rumors that were circulating in the city.

But the city is divided into 4 regions, first the territory of the nobility, then the territory of the upper class, the middle class, and lastly the lower class. Dam I belong in the lower circles. Everything is determined from his wealth, if it is too rich it belongs to the upper class, as well as others.

My goal was to change my parents' status by making them a part of the upper class by becoming a witch. People who become witches usually get better jobs than ordinary people.

After a while, I arrived at a shabby place, and it was also my home. I went inside and was greeted by my mother with my father. My father has black hair with black eyes like mine. However his body was extremely muscular and full of sword incisions.

At first my father was one of the adventurers but retired because he was betrayed by his teammates and his property was stolen by him. My father became frustrated and preferred to be a lower class until he met my mother.

"So Loid, where did you end up? You should have come back from earlier." Ask my dad with worry.

"I've just come from the academy and I got a letter of recommendation to enter the academy along with the students!" Reply with a smile.

Right after I said that, the sound of the chair falling down loudly, My parents immediately showed their surprised faces as they ran up to me. And I'm happy to show you my letter of recommendation.

Afterwards they cried and hugged me tightly. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt something in my heart. I don't know what that means, but I feel so happy and proud.

Seriate...
