Magical Systems In Other Worlds

Chapter 2: Returning from Death

“Please sit.” Miss Camille pointed to one of the beds in the hospital.

Leo unknowingly chooses the bed closest to the window.

Miss Camille smiled inwardly as she saw that she had chosen the bed that Leo had used the most before.

“First and foremost, let's talk about the nature of this world. As you have just witnessed, magic exists in this world. This is possible because which one meets this world. To use magic, you have to convert the mana in the air into your own energy.”

“Does this mean I can also use magic?!” Leo immediately asked, his voice filled with excitement.

Miss Camille silently looked at him with a pondering face for a moment before speaking, “Maybe not.”

“Eh?! Why not?!” Leo's heart sinks when he hears that he may not be able to use magic, something he's dreamed of since he was a child.

“Because not everyone is born with the ability to use magic. Even in a world that relied heavily on this magic, about 60 percent of the world's population could not use magic. As for you, who were born in a world without magic, it is highly unlikely that you could use magic. ” Miss Camille explained.

And he continued, “In addition, Leo previously was also unable to use magic.”

“Ah, this sucks ..” Leo lay in bed with a sad expression on his face.

“I am also very much looking forward to using magic.. I really want to go home now.”

Looking at her desperate energy, Miss Camille spoke, “Even if you cannot use magic, you can still use magic artifacts infused with mana, and they even had magic spells stored within them. This is what Leo did before. However, magic artifacts are very expensive, and they have limited durability.”

And he continued, “We can talk about magic later. There is one very important thing besides magic that exists in this world that you should be aware of— vampire.”

Leo's eyes widened in surprise.

“A-Did you just say vampire? Like sucking blood and such?” He asked with a trembling voice.

“So vampires are also in your world? However, the vampires in this world suck mana out of blood.” said Miss Camille.

Leo shook his head. “Iya and no. Vampires do exist, but only in movies and fiction.”

“Is that so? After all, the vampires here look exactly like us humans, but they have very different appearances. White hair and red eyes. If you see it, run away, or you'll die.”

“They are like animals but with human intelligence, and their instincts tell them to hunt humans and absorb our mana.”

“What happens if they suck where we are? Does that also mean humans without mana are safe from them?” ask Leo.

“All humans have mana in their bodies, including those who cannot use magic. If one lost all their mana, they would die very slowly and painfully. However, it rarely happens unless done by a vampire.”

Leo gulped nervously, and he raised his hand, “Another question. Do vampires just wander the streets looking for their prey? ”

“No. Most of the major cities in the world are protected by barriers that prevent all vampires from entering. However, the barrier is not perfect, so vampires sometimes sneak into the city. Again, this rarely happens. As long as you stay inside the city, you will be safe.”

“There are questions?”

“Many ..” Leo sighed.

“You can save it for another time. Now we will talk about your existence in this world.”

“As I mentioned not long ago, you are dead in this world. But since they never recover your body, we can only say that you managed to survive. For your own safety, don't tell anyone that you're actually from another world, do you understand? ”

“Can I ask why?” Leo asked out of curiosity.

“Do you want to be put in a prison cell and become a lab rat?” Miss Camille narrowed her eyes at him.

“Of course not!”

“Then it will be in your best interest to keep your mouth shut. Until you are strong enough, don't tell the truth to anyone WEB even to those you trust with your life. As for your background, we'll say that you have amnesia, so you don't remember anything Leo did before. Do you understand?”

“I'm ready.” Leo nodded in earnest.

“Good. Now I have a question for you. Do you have experience with combat? ”

“Uhh... I've fought some class bullies in my life, but other than that.” He shook his head.

“Then you have to learn how to use weapons. If you want to stay as a student in this school or survive in this world, you have to learn how to fight. ‘Leo’ uses a sword, so you will also learn to use it.”

“What about magic? I know there's a good chance I can't use magic, but I still want to try.”

Miss Camille sighed and said, “Alright, we can try it later. However, even if you can, by magic, use magic, you still won't be able to use magic freely.”

“What do you mean?” Leo tilted his head.

“Have you forgotten? ‘Leo’ can't use magic. If you suddenly start using magic, people will start questioning you, which will cause a lot of trouble. Although we can use magic artifacts to disguise your magic, we can talk about it later— if you can even use magic.”

“I understand.” Leo nodded.

“One more thing. ‘Leo’ is known to be level-headed and always calm, and based on our conversations so far, you are exactly the opposite.”

Leo shrugged, “Actually, I'm usually quiet and reserved. However, I have just been transferred to another world where magic and vampires exist. I can't help but be excited, you know? Besides, you're special to me, Miss Camille. I just relax every time I'm with you. While you may not be the same Miss Camille from my memory, you look, sound, and even act like the Miss Camille I know.”

“...” Miss Camille looked at the smile on Leo's face with a deep expression, her mind unknown.

After talking to each other for some more time, Miss Camille said to him, “Are you ready to ‘back from death’?”

“Do you really have to say it like that?” Leo showed a bitter smile.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Alright, I'm ready,” he said as he opened his eyes.

Miss Camille unlocked the door and began to lead her through the long hallways until they reached the third floor.

‘This is... Principal's room?’ Leo thought to himself as they approached the end of the hallway on the third floor.

Miss Camille knocked on the door when they arrived.

“School Head, it's me.”

“Kamil? Entering.” A female voice sounded from inside the room.

Miss Camille opened the door and walked in with Leo right behind her.

“Hei, Camille. What is—”

The Headmaster stopped his mouth when he saw Leo. In fact, he forgot how to breathe for the next moment as he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of Leo.

“Head of School, before you act all cra—”

“LEO?!?!?!” The Headmaster suddenly stood up and slammed his desk, causing the entire room to tremble.

Leo gulped nervously. The Headmaster in this world was many times more terrifying than the one in his own world, and he judged it with just his presence.

After standing up, the Headmaster rushed to stand in front of Leo, and he began to pull his face.

“Hey, it hurts!” Leo quickly stepped back and looked at her like a nervous child.

“School Head, please calm down.” Miss Camille quickly stood between them.

“Kamil! What does this mean?! Why is Leo here?! I demand an explanation!”

“I've been doing it for a long time if you don't bother me.” Miss Camille sighed while shaking her head.

“By the way, I'm sure you already know this, but he's Leo.”

“That's impossible! Leo died three months ago!”

“Let me finish it. We all believe that Leo has died, but that is not the case. He actually survived, but for some reason, he was unable to return to this day. I only found out this not too long ago when I found him wandering in front of the school building. ”

The Headmaster looked at Leo with his mouth and eyes wide open.

“L-Leo... Is that really you? W-What happened over the last three months? Where Are You?”

“Do not bother. He had amnesia, so he didn't remember anything about what happened. In fact, she lost most of her memory. ”, Miss Camille said.

“No way ..” The Headmaster staggered backwards until he was stopped by his own desk.

“T-Wait! What about his combat abilities? Does he at least remember how to fight ?! ”

“Unfortunately no.” Miss Camille shook her head.

The Headmaster began to ponder with a frown on his face.

“Perhaps if we awaken his memory using magic, he might.”.

“I've tried it.” Miss Camille quickly said.

“Although I hate to say it, there is nothing we can do but wait until he recovers his own memories.”

“What a disaster!” The Headmaster sighed loudly, and he continued, “Although he cannot use magic, he is one of the strongest students in this academy! As a knight, he had exceeded all expectations! He even fought and killed many vampires! Without Leo, our academy prowess is very weak!”

“However, not all hope is lost! Even if Leo lost all his memories, his talent was still there! As long as we train him properly, he will eventually regain his former strength. And when he recovers his memory, he will become even stronger!” Despite the desperation just a moment ago, the Headmaster managed to bounce back enthusiastically.

Leo gulped nervously, and he glanced at Miss Camille, who just shook her head in silence.

‘I messed up ..’ Leo sighed in heart.

“School Head, do you mind if I take care of the training?” Miss Camille suddenly said.

“Hah? What about your job as a nurse? You are the most experienced nurse we have!”

“It's not like I'll train him all day. We'll do it after school.”

“Are you sure? You don't have to force yourself. There were many instructors—” The Headmaster frowned.

“As long as you pay overtime.” Miss Camille calmly interrupted.

The Headmaster smiled and said, “I'm not talking about that, but of course, you will be paid overtime.”

“Then it's okay. I'll do.”

The Headmaster nodded.

‘Haaa... I cannot imagine how the academy reacted once they learned that Leo had returned from the dead.’ He breathed deeply.

“By the way, if you need help, you know where to find me.”

“Of course.”

Leo left the Principal's room with Miss Camille shortly after.

“Now what?” Leo asked him.

“Now you will go to class and actually come back from the dead,” he said calmly.

Leo gulped nervously, “What kind of class am I attending? Magic class?”

“You can't use magic, so you only take regular classes.”

“As long as it's not about magic and vampires, I shouldn't have any problems with materials and exams, so I won't fail in any class ..” He sighed in relief.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Learning is the only thing I'm good at.” He said after seeing Miss Camille's strange face.

Moments later, they returned to the second floor and stopped in front of the first classroom next to the stairs.

Miss Camille knocks on the door and waits for the teacher.

A moment later, a beautiful blonde woman wearing a white cheongsam appeared before them.

“Kamil? What—” Master was stopping his mouth when he saw a handsome figure standing behind Miss Camille.

It took a long time, but he finally recognized her face and exclaimed in a shocked voice, “LL-Leo ?!”

Seriate....
