The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 3: The Resurrection

Just a moment after closing his eyes Verite suddenly felt something shocking, like something connected had suddenly arrived inside him, he felt a new but familiar power flowing within his body, it was as if a long-clogged channel had finally opened as well.

Verite took her breath, she calmed herself down and began to feel this flowing force, she felt its current, its compressive power and its speed, he said, unfortunately he did not have the ability to use magic otherwise he would have given this new power a form.

After sensing his strength Verite finally remembered on something she had lost, something she had always been with since yesterday...  She had not let out a sound at all since Verite closed her eyes, it made Verite worried so she tried to call out to him.

'Mefras?'

'...'

'Mephylas?'

'...yes?'

She finally replied in a tired-sounding voice, Verite was relieved she had not suddenly disappeared and was curious about what had happened to her.

'You're okay' asked Verite.

'i... I guess I just had a weird dream.'  Answer Mefras

'dreams?' Ask Verite.

'Yes, I dreamt of walking in an unfamiliar passageway and connecting a cable.'

'Cable?' Could it? Think Verite.

'Yes, how about your pathway?' Ask Mefras.

'It seems I've succeeded, waking him up, but it seems to have something to do with your dream, because I think I woke him up too soon.' Verite said, explaining what he had in mind.

'Hmm... Yes I see your point, the dream may not be just a dream but I connect your pathway to the core of your body.' Mefras understood what Verite meant and it also made Mefras think that he had some sort of ability to control Verite's body which made him feel bad.

'i think I should be careful if I get a dream like this again I don't want to change your body without realizing it.' Mefras told Verite that it was better to know that there was a risk first than to invite him to a dangerous misunderstanding.

'Yes, I don't want to imagine what will happen to my body.' Verite was goosebumps, he was a bit worried about the thing that had just happened but he also felt waking up his ability as a thaumaturgist early was a good thing so he was not too angry with Mefras.

'So... What's the next step?' Mefras asked, Verite had already awakened her power faster than Mefras had expected, she thought they would spend hours meditating, they had more time to continue learning Thaumaturgy, they had more time to continue learning Thaumaturgy, At least if Verite's body doesn't need a break after this.

'Hmmm...' Verite took back his book and began reading.

"Second Part: Learn.If you read this chapter after connecting your Pathway then congratulations you have entered the world of Thaumaturgy, if you haven't woken up, then don't give up because learning new things always takes time."

Verite looked at Mefras mentally, Mefras feeling his gaze even though he had no one to see it.

"You may want to jump right in and throw fireballs and usually this is the part where I scold you and get you back to basics but luckily for you throwing fireballs is the base that will be we learn next, You will do some simple thaumaturgy formulas to test your compatibility with that element element, the first element we will try is the fire element, first of all make sure you are in a large space and do not have flammable items, I as the author of this book will not be responsible if you spread the fire throughout the city. As I have said before thaumaturgy requires courage in taking risks and readiness to overcome the unexpected."

Mefras thought the author of this book really emphasized the risk of thaumaturgy, he hoped everything would go smoothly even if there was something strange that had happened before.

"Well then I have stressed that you must be in an open space and away from the goods that will start the fire. We'll start Formula one:............" The formula that Mefras did not understand was written in this book.

"This is a basic fireball formula that is safe enough to use, grab your hands forward and repeat this formula in your mind

Make sure no one's in front of him while you're doing this, if you succeed a fireball will snatch from your hand." Mefras wondered why he could read this book, it was impossible for this book to be written in the same language of the world he lived in. He thinks maybe being in Verite's head means he has some sort of connection to what Verite knows. Maybe he could read what Verite was reading and hear what Verite was hearing.

'You can read this Verite Formula?' mefras asked, testing his theory.

'i... Can.' Answer Verite.

Mefras is unsure whether this refutes his theory or is just an exception.

Verite finished repeating the formula and with a flash a fire spray snatched continuously from his palm without showing any sign of extinguishing.

'You okay, Verite?' Mefras asked, she was worried Verite couldn't stop her magic. 'you can control it?'

'Yes I'm fine.' Verite replied, he showed his control would face it by shrinking and raising the fire discharge from his hands, not only that he could also form and change his fire magic.

'I think you have talent in this field.'Mefras said, "gifted" is not the right word to describe Verite but Mefras could not find a more appropriate word.

With a flash of fire coming out of Verite's palm disappearing, he lowered his hand and took a breath, Verite did not show it but she felt proud of his ability.

'How do you feel, are you tired?' ask Mefras.

'Yes, I feel a little tired, but I'm still fine, what do you think? Are we continuing?' Verite asked, he asked like this but Mefras felt he was really excited to continue his magic training.

'As much as you are, but remember that if you feel excessively tired immediately stop, you are here yourself and I can't do anything if you faint.' Mefras said while warning Verite not to be carried away by the current of his warmth.

'alright.' Verite ducked down and took the book.

"If you can perform the magic listed earlier it means you have a match with the fire element of congratulations, then, you can skip to the page about the fire element because or if not you can continue to test other elements.

Now we're gonna try the element..."

After reading the continuation Verite tried some other elements but there was nothing he could do, this book does not explain if one can only master one element or not So Verite and Mefras do not know that this is supposed to be the case or Verite does not have a talent for other Elements.

It made Verite and Mefras somewhat disappointed but Mefras felt a little relieved because this was more realistic than Verite suddenly being able to master all the elements.

They continued to read the book again but did not try the formula again because Verite was exhausted but he still wanted to read the book.

When reading the eyes Mefras fell into a passage; Thaumaturgy Construct.

'Verite try to read this section. The passage says Thaumaturgy construct.' Pinta Mefras, she could only read what Verite saw so she had to point Verite's eyes towards the part she wanted to read.

'alright.' Verite nodded.

"Thaumaturgy Construct: Thaumaturgy construct, Golem, Guardian construct, they have many names but essentially they are a construct made and moved by a Thaumaturgist, simple in explanation but complex in execution because controlling a construct requires not only a focus but also the ability to perform various tasks at the same time. But do not despair, you may have a talent in using this science so we will start making a construct, here are the materials needed to make a simple construct for the Thaumaturgy test, this construct is also useful for testing your element skills so if you find the science of difficult constructs you still have other uses for the construct that will be created."

The book listed the materials needed to make the construct.

''how's Verite?' Ask Mefras. 'Are you able to obtain this material?' How smart he was Verite was still a child who had no family or relative, Mefras did not want to trouble him excessively.

'Seeing this list of ingredients is easy to get, I can buy it in the store tomorrow, you want me to make a Thaumaturgy Construct?' Ask Verite.

'Yes, I was thinking, maybe we can use the construct to have my own body, so I won't have to get stuck with you for twenty-four hours, surely this is just speculation but I believe this is an alternative path that we deserve to explore, and maybe I want to see your face.' Mefras.

'My face?' Ask Verite.

'Yes, you are the first person I have met in this world, I want to see you and this world with my own eyes and eyes.' Clearly Mefras, indeed they were staying standing in front of a mirror if he only wanted to see Verite's face but that wasn't his whole wish.

'Then we have to make it as quickly as possible.' Verite said Mefras' desire made him feel excited to move.

'Speaking of which you can actually afford the material? You didn't shut up because you felt sorry for me, did you? The item did not look like something that an eight-year-old child could easily get.'Ask Mefras.

'No, materials are cheap I guarantee, their total is only the same as my income a week delivering goods, and before you say a week it's a lot of time, let's just say that there is a cost to my investment in pursuing knowledge in this field so you don't have to worry that I will waste money if this fails because the book itself already mentions that the construct has various kinds of uses.' Verite answered before Mefras could say what. He did not help Mefras just for his own good but also to help him in developing the Thaumaturgy he had just discovered.

'thank you.' Mefras agreed, he didn't have to say anything else.

'same.' Verite can't wait for tomorrow to come.
