The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 12: The Characters in the Game

"So how do you know so much about Thaumaturgy?"

Verite asked Helian, not only does she know how a construct works but she also knows the time it takes to learn it, she said, if Helian finds out about something like this, she's definitely not a novice Verite thought.

"Yes like you I've learned Thaumaturgy." Helian replied calmly. "unlike you but I only know in the theory part, my practical part is still lacking."

"How long have you been studying?" Caena asked.”it looks like I'm the only one who can't Thaumaturgy." He looks abandoned.

"I started learning his theory a year ago." Helian answered. "If you want to learn I have a book I don't use anymore, I can lend it to you.

"Really?" Caena looks happy.

Helian nodded.

"The book, the title is Thaumaturgy for beginners by C.B?" Verite asked.

"Yes." Yeah." Helian replied, it reassured Verite with the suspicion that she and Mefras felt towards Helian.

"During this time you've been 'working' at Bloom and Gloom is you practicing Thaumaturgy?" Verite asked his suspicions.

"Yes I only learned the practical part of Thaumaturgy in time like you, about why I did that I chose not to answer." Helian turned off the conversation directly, it seemed like she did not want Verite to dig inside.

"All right." Verite relented, they were friends but they were not that close as Verite could ask him personal things.

"Hey hey Verite, you have another Thaumaturgy ability? Can you show it to me?" Caena overridden their talks, he said was a hopeful diversion of the talks.

"I used some fire magic, I can show you if you want." Verite offered, there was no harm in him showing his magic as long as he did it in an invisible place.

'Verite I'm sorry I interrupted your conversation but I have an emergency you should know.' A familiar voice appeared in Verite's head.

'Mefras?' Verite shouted in his mind. 'Kok you come back here?' she asked.

'yes... That's what I want to talk about.' Mefras said awkwardly. 'After you talk to your friend I kind of feel left out so I go for a walk...'

'You go walking the street..dan?'

'I seemed to be walking out of the area of your range so my consciousness returned to the 'real body' that provided mana to the construct.' Mefras.

Verite scrunched his forehead, Helian and Caena were confused when Verite arrived silent and worried when he suddenly showed a chaotic expression.

"Are you okay?" Caena asked.

"Yes, but like I have to find our Construct." Answer Verite. 'Mefras where did you take him?' Ask Verite.

'That's the problem, I don't remember where I walked...'

"Oh yeah, where's your construction going Verite?" Caena realized something was missing.

"Sorry friend, it looks like I have to ask the two of you to help look for that Running Construct."

"I don't know how you can do it Verite but it's better we hurry because which stone is something quite valuable." Helian said, she was not surprised anymore by the strange thing that happened with Verite thaumaturgy.

"Sorry, please help me." Verite asked for their help.

"Yes of course, I don't want my hard work to just disappear." Say Caena.

"It's the same as me." Say Helian.

"All right, thank you."

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

After searching for a while they found the construct in a place a fair distance away from Blooming Bud, if Mefras did not remember the path he took while they were searching they could lose the new construct they had just made.

"Wow, I didn't expect this construct to go this far." Caena said he was impressed by the distance the construct had reached with his feet.

"Yes, putting aside your ability to control the construct, the transfer distance where you are is quite far." Helian commented impressed too.

"Haha." Verite could only laugh awkwardly, at the impossible explaining that the construct was controlled by a consciousness that shared a place in his head.

"Serite by the way are you going to name this construct?" Ask Caena.

"Yes, calling her a 'construct' doesn't feel right, it's like calling your favorite doll a 'doll'." Obviously Caena.

"Ah." Helian nodded.

"I already have a name for him, Mefras." Tell Verite, give her the same name as the person in her head.

"Ah, interesting name, does that name have any meaning?" Ask Caena.

'Does that have any meaning?' Verite asked the owner of the name.

'No, that's just one of my favorite words.' Mefras replied, Verite could somehow feel his arrogance.

'Let me guess, that name is the name of a character from a movie you've seen.' The Mefras residence is all the answers Verite needs.

"No, I just love it, or rather it's one of my favorite words." Verite said to Caena, repeating Mefras answer to his question.

"So Verite, what are you going to do after this?" Helian asked, Verite has already made the construct, what's next?

"I don't know either, maybe I'll get him to talk and add some features like more movement in the jar and plate and maybe improve his ability." Verite said he already had a body for Mefras but that body was still too limited for him.

"Ah then if you need help just call me, I might be able to help you." Helian offered her help.

'Smooth boy, smooth.' Mefras whistled at Verite's head.

'What do you mean Mefras?' Verite asked.

'It looks like you forgot, but this brat has the same feeling as you.' Mefras seduces.

'A.' The memory appeared in Verite's mind.

Seeing Verite silent Helian immediately said. "Ah I have no ulterior motive huh, I just want to help my friend." Say Helian, she doesn't seem to be hiding anything.

Verite also won't know how to answer if he really has a 'motif'.

"Thank you, I'll come to you if I need help." Answer Verite

"Don't forget me!" Caena got into the conversation. "I'm your roommate." Said it.

Verite smiled. "Caena of course."

Verite was glad he had a good friend.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Verite was now rolling on her bed after a long day, she finally felt a delayed fatigue with the use of that consciousness-transfer magic.

'Verite?' Mefras.

'Yes Mefras?' Verite woke up sitting on her bed.

'So I have something to talk to you about, it might just be a coincidence but I think you deserve to know about this.'

'What do you want to talk about Mefras?' Ask Verite.

'We may be in a game world, or a world that the game I once played was based on.' Say Mefras.

'Games?' Verite already knew what a game was, Mefras had already shown it with a picture of the picture he sent in his head like any other movie he had watched.

'Yes, I never finished that game so I don't know what really happened but when I saw your hair I remembered the name of the important character in that game.'

'Important character? Am I the main character?" Ask Verite.

'Unfortunately no, you're not the main character, but you're the main character's rival and a member of the group who has offensive fire magic.' Say Mefras.

'It's not so bad, is that all you want to tell me?" Verite asked, being a rival and knowing he was studying Thaumaturgy in the future didn't look so bad.

'Yes if that's all I know I won't tell you, but there's something else I want to say.' Mefras sounded doubtful.

'Setting that game was a noble school and your name written on that game was... Verite Bloome's.'
