The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 11: New Body

During the construction period that Verite lived Mefras not only kept quiet in his head, to realize his desire to have his own body he also had to learn a little Thaumathurgy.

The thing that Mefras learned was mental things like the ability to voice formulas quickly and increase his concentration in sensing which flow is in Verite's body, it played a crucial role in giving Mefras the ability to move his consciousness into the construct that Verite would create.

And this was the time, Verite began to put mana into the small construct he had made, Mefras could feel how high the concentration of Verite was, he mentioned the formula quickly, so, Mefras sensed where Verite flowed into the construct.

Little by little Mana it comes in and changes the color of the Construct with Verite Color, if Mefras had time he would make jokes about the patent but what he did was concentrate and deliver the formula he memorized.

Mefras felt it, his consciousness beginning to fade away, as if he would be gently lifted up and wrapped in a comfortable cloth, but he did not surrender his consciousness to the sand man and continued to complete his formula, he heard Verite's thought.

'Come! It worked! Comeing! It worked!' In saying it repeated incessantly as he filled the doll with mana, Mefras did not want to disappoint him, therefore he strengthened his consciousness and made a mental impulse, like a hand pushing him from behind and in an instant everything went dark.

He did not know how long he had been in that darkness, his body floating in the boundless void, he said, if she felt fear she would have told her for help to be released but she had no fear or paik, all she felt was calmness.

Before long Mefras finally felt something, a taste, a stimulation of his sense of life, he felt... The light, the light that did not come from the borrowed eye but the light that hit Mefras' own eye.

One by one he felt the missing things from him, ranging from movement, hearing and finally the sense of touch that gave his knowledge of the two hands that carried him.

Mefras shook his head, he regained control of his body and holding the hand that floated him in the air, he saw the owner of the arm.

In front of her eyes was Verite, a young girl who had somehow gotten Mefras on her head, her face looking worried, a, Mefras was also aware of Helian and Caene at the back who were staring at Verite with the same gaze as the way Verite was looking at Mefras.

Mefras could now stare at Verite's face with his own eyes, as he saw in Verite's glass was a red-hot haired girl with easy red eyes, he had seen this look a lot but somehow it filled him with happiness.

"Can you hear me Mefras?" Verite asked, he lowered Mefras to the floor.

Mefras answered with 'Yes' but no sound came out of his mouth, so all he did was nod his wooden neck.

"Ah I feel good for you." Tell Verite, he smiled.

Mefras was also pleased, this body might not be perfect but this was better than not being able to move at all, Mefras looked at Caene and Helian's gaze to Verite, who was not able to move at all, the bewildered Mefras touched Verite and showed them a mefras hand that was just a fist.

Mefras had to ask Verite to give him more articulation, he could only move his paws and neck, he had no movement of his waist or fingers.

"Ah Helian, Caene I can explain this." Tell Verite, turning and showing her the hair of her burning ponytail, seeing Verite's burning hair made Mefras remember something he had seen in his home world.

'Wait a minute, the burning ponytail hair? Red hair, pink eyes and the name Bloome, don't do this-"

"Woah, that construct really moved." Caine said, cutting off Mefras' thought groove, he put on a surprised and interested face caena walked up to Mefras and touched him with her fingertips. "So what can this thing do?" Ask.

"He.." verite was silent, seemingly at a loss as to what to answer.

Mefras decided to think about the world before then, which was important now to help Verite explain her Thaumaturgy abilities to Helian and Caena.

Mefras began to move and walked around Caene, she presented her hands as if she was going to shake hands, her little eyes that were shining yellow were staring at Caene.

"This can be achieved but you need time and commitment to achieve the ability to move the construct object as Verite does." Helian who answered Caena's question, her eyes moved to Verite. "You remember you said you've never used Thaumaturgy, is that a lie?" Helian asked, she did not look angry or disappointed, just curious..

"Yes." replied Verite. "I've been studying Thaumaturgy for about a week, I'm showing this to you as a thank you for helping me." Verite.

"But why are you hiding it? You seem to have a big brother in this." Ask Caene.

"Yes, if you show this to Mr. Jardi I'm sure you'll be put into Thaumaturgy class right away without having to wait until you turn twelve." Added Helian.

"Well that's why I don't want to, you remember my question about the future before?"

They nodded.

"Therefore, I am still not sure if I want to pursue this field and I do not want to be carried away by the flow of expectations that are overwritten with me." Verite.

"Ah that makes sense" Caena said, looking satisfied.

"I understand." Say Helian. "How long have you been learning to do this?" She asked.

"A little over a week?" Verite replied, unsure as he did not count the days.

"Just one week?" Helian surprised.

"It was a troubled time, wasn't it Helian?" Caena asked, it seems like she doesn't know much about Thaumaturgy.

"That's not a problem." Answer Helian. "Verite is really talented, though, the ability to control the movement of constructs takes years to sharpen and even in that time period they can only divide their consciousness so if they move their constructs then the controller of that construct will not be able to move." Helian looked at Mefras who was staring at her. "Verite is a genius attack if he can do this within a period of one week."

"So Verite is one in a thousand geniuses?" Caena asked, looking amazed by Verite.

"Hahaha, you grew up Helian." Verite laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer properly.

If mefras had a mouth he would laugh at the misunderstanding that occurred, no one would have thought that Verite had two consciousnesses in his head so to misunderstandings like this could not be avoided.

While Verite looked awkward so Mefras walked over and touched Verite's feet, he might be able to ask for a bigger body for her.

Verite who felt the touch of Mefras looked down and smiled, he lifted the stone of the Wood of Mephas and said;

"I have to learn to add a voice function for you."

Verite then looked towards Helian,

"So Helian... Why do you know so much about Thaumathurgy?"
