Nevil went to the library but couldn't find Seak " Huh why isn't he here ? " the librarian came and faced Nevil " Hello master Nevil what are you here for " she pushed the books back to their shelves as Nevil was left confused .
" You know that guy who came to our school right ? " she chuckles thinking about Nevil's confusion " No master Nevil the guest went to register his identity " Nevil took a moment and felt ashamed not knowing it .
" Oh sorry for disturbing you then " Nevil ran to where Seak could be and saw him stuffing a card into his pocket as a cover for his spatial storage " Hey um " " Seak " " Okay uh Seak , how did you know about my crossing ? "
" I didn't I simply guessed as you were very different than the others " Seak walked in the direction of the library according to the map " Why do you guess if you can see through my soul ? " " At least that thing in your soul is helpful . And I just had a feeling that it was related to it and guessed it because your thinking was very different . "
Nevil couldn't help but think " What do you mean ? " " Your fascinated despite knowing you were talented that should mean you came from somewhere magic was just part of your imagination . " " How do you find out about it did you use some mystical means ? "
" I didn't , I made a conclusion from your reaction when I appeared in your room . I felt your admiration probably because I appeared without your notice . " Nevil ran faster as Seak was walking too quickly .
" Then why do you guess instead of looking through my soul ? " Seak stops and faced Nevil " Because I don't try to know everything . " " Isn't it better to know everything that way you won't have to learn anymore ? "
Nevil became heavily influenced thanks to the power that lets him absorb the experience of his targets " Where's the fun in that ? " Seak enters the library ignoring Nevil after he left him stunned by the door .
Seak reads the books stored in the libraries and surfs them freely ' Good thing I improve my magic or else everyone will get even curious as to what I was doing . ' Seak used magic after observing Nevil attempt to target him .
This allowed him to experience a target without the need to form a formation . He felt a gaze and turned to see Nevil " Umm Seak why are you using the same power I used ? " Seak sighed thinking that Nevil felt wronged at his discovery of Seak using a similar ability .
" Kid this is far different from what you use okay . While I go through the target's experience using my senses you just absorb the experience to the subconscious mind with their senses " Seak shrugs him off to avoid having him backstab him .
" No that's not what I meant , how did you do it on an object ? " " I have my experience " Seak continued reading while Nevil sat beside him " Hey Seak do you like magic ? " Seak stops feeling very interested in it " Of course , I do it's like learning but in a beautiful fantasy . "
He smiles thinking about a seal he placed on himself " Then you must've liked school ? " Seak took in some air and let it out " Well that depends if the school system retains creativity and intelligence and is clear to teach their students . " " How did you know about school then ? "
" I have some sealed memories about normal school . Homework wasn't supposed to be normal for schools but just punishment for misbehaving kids . The only exam that would matter in school is the finals because it proves how much you have learned and still understand even after a long time . I wouldn't say that I like this kind of school . "
" Why is creativity important ? " Nevil was still corrupted by the ability so Seak decided to cure it a little " Tell me how did the first sorcerer in this realm learn magic ? " " I don't know I was only interested in magic . "
" Hmm you should learn real-time . Magic that the first sorcerer introduced was the one they learned on their own but with a base which is their knowledge intelligence and creativity connect the knowledge he learned . "
Nevil slowly thinks about it " It's sad and dumb that some worlds out there teach children without caring about their mental health much less creativity and intelligence . " Seak remembers his fun childhood being one of the teachers to the younger ones .
" I might have done too well at school to see that kind of perspective " " So this means that you work very hard at school . Well good thing that was over and I suppose you went to college or something ? "
Nevil curiously looks at Seak " How do you know this stuff " " I have my visions , I didn't like school but good thing I was homeschooled with the rest of my family . " Seak felt like he became the same child that was naturally curious about things .
" Wow I had to go to school and do homework " " I did homework but I had the material that was needed so instead of flipping the pages again and again between each problem and material , I just learned the material and finished the homework . "
Seak felt proud to be the child he used to be to finish his work very quickly and went to use what he learned on magic " Did you have final exams though ? " " Nope because we got incredibly lazy during homework we ended up finishing the materials to finish homework it became stuck in our heads . "
" Did you have a social life though ? " " I had siblings they had very unique personalities so I don't care if I don't get friends . " Nevil stares at Seak hoping he could at least see some chance that he could use his ability .
" Can you explain how come my ability doesn't work on you but it can still know what you can do ? " " That was just me protecting you I have a very painful life I also don't care if you know my capabilities . " Nevil thought of some abuse he had heard when he was in his old world .
" Oh , don't sympathize with my life ? " Seak could feel he was looked down on because he felt sympathy from Nevil " I have a good life and I can go home If I want to "
" Then why do you say it was painful ? " Seak sighed and started multitasking between talking to Nevil and reading a book " Well the reason why I have a painful life is that I have a sibling that is crazy and childish . He means no "harm" and just wanted to have fun . "
" Anyways do something with that power of yours consult with the principal if you got a problem I'd like to study . " Seak starts to ignore his surroundings as Nevil tried to talk him out but it was very pointless .
" Come just teach me how to control this power " it was futile so Nevil groans and leaves the library hoping to find the principal . Seak reads the books and felt the orb in his storage struggling .
' Looks like it woke up ' Seak took this chance reexperiencing the curse being of the grimoire's life and then waited for it to cast any magic it might have learned " You aren't a protector but a greedy sorcerer who wanted immortality . "
Luckily for the sorcerer school the principals that took over the school knew about the first principal's desire and abolished the doctrine of searching for immortality " Rather than Immortality I prefer to be able to reincarnate or come back from the dead . "
Seak made a book inside his storage and pretended it was an ancient tome of immortality to see how the orb would react ' Might get something good from this ' Seak was very curious to see if the curse would still be sentient after the contamination of learning too much .
Seak was also like that ' Once you learn too much you'd want to step down and change the laws and nature to learn more . I would've ended up like this dummy ' he facepalms realizing his change " I am thinking like a kid now ... At least I knew "
Meanwhile , Nevil went to consult the principal " Master how can I solve this problem of my ability ? " the principal sipped tea hearing Nevil's worry " From what your ability was described as I believe you would need to follow your way of life . "
Nevil thought of it and believed he wouldn't be able to use magic if that was what the principal said " Of course , if you avoid magic you will slowly get the memories as our talented sorcerers have very terrible past . "
Nevil nods and couldn't think of another solution " So what can I do then ? " she could feel the worry in Nevil's heart and soul " We can't erase the memories in your subconscious mind it will hurt you if we don't do it carefully . "
Nevil became very worried about it " Don't worry Nevil your power may be harmful but it is protecting you although it sometimes makes mistakes " she could see more thanks to Seak's explanation of Nevil's powers .
" Thank you master principal " noon strikes as Nevil went to his room trying to consult with his helper and Seak stuck himself in a book .
He was busy reading a book by being on the paper as a window and reading the opposite page ' Nice history ' the first principal fought with higher realm beings and even higher dimensional existence but Seak knows no matter how strong one is they are weak in other aspects .
' They should've gotten the idea of strengthening the bond of the soul and the body . ' Seak continued reading until he heard footsteps ' What is going on ? '
He watches from the windows using the reflection to see a cloaked figure opening the glass container used to cover the grimoire ' I think I should tell the principal ... can't have the secrets in that grimoire leak '
Seak disappeared from the reflections and reappeared outside the room of the principal knocking on the door " Hey someone is trying to get that grimoire " he felt the principal leave the room .
' Oh well , I better walk ' Seak walked to the library and encountered some students who were running to the library except for Nevil who was running in the opposite direction " Seak there you are I thought you were at the library . "
Seak sighed thinking that Nevil found out about the thing that was attached to his soul " So what was the thing that let you use the ability to absorb experience into your subconscious mind ? "
Seak walked the way to the library as Nevil followed " I don't know I just talk with it on my head " " So it's like a soul that attached itself to yours which seemed to be strong or else you wouldn't have been suitable to use that ability . "
" You know too much " Nevil lightly punched Seak at his arm and he was repelled with a great force " Don't do that you might lose your helper when you do " Seak left Nevil fainted with the walls destroyed landing on a table at the other room .
Seak felt the gazes of admiration of the other students ' Feels like that last kid that I gave my book to ' he sees the principal in the library putting back the unharmed grimoire to the glass container .
" Thank you so much student Seak " ' She knows what I am here for ' " You're welcome it is only a coincidence . " Seak bowed and the students gasped ' Hey did you see that guy he bowed to the principal but disrespected Nevil . '
Seak looked around the library to see any signs that means that it is prohibited " Is the library prohibited ? " the principal smiled and shook her head leaving the library ' At least I can continue reading . '
Seak took a seat and started reading it normally avoiding the gazes of some students as they leave ' How is that idiot reading the book ? ' Seak looked through his storage to see the "idiot" still reading the 1st chapter of the "ancient tome of immortality" .
' He's overthinking it ' Seak threw a dictionary to the orb and continued his reading to hear Nevil " Hey I heard you bowed to the principal " Seak stopped reading and looked at Nevil " That a big of a deal ? "
Nevil shook his head " You just don't seem like the type of person to bow to anyone ... Heck you might not even bow to a god " Seak looked around the library " Do you see any picture frames that honor the great teachers of sorcery and magic ? "
Nevil looked around and recalled his memories to not see any official pictures of principal sorcerers only names " No ? ... What does that have to do with this ? " " It's like a king and his "royal" lineage " Seak mocked every king that has ever done what he is about to say .
" They pose pictures of their faces which makes me feel think they are arrogant , the sorcerers of this school on the other hand simply adds their names with a simple "I was a normal citizen until I practiced magic and healed my limbs" or whatever caused them to seek the arts "
Seak turned his book to a certain page and showed it to Nevil " See it says so right here " Nevil reads the short introduction of the author " Oh you're right " Seak pulled the book back and continued reading .
Nevil looked at him annoyed " Why can't you use that magic on the book instead " Seak looked at the writings and replied " Because it's ineffective , Just a while ago I used it but only saw some fractions of what was happening . "
" And the rest is just the writer writing stuff " Seak continued to read the book ignoring Nevil " And also your a little wrong about the god part . I will not bow to people who think they are better than me just because they were stronger and had influence . "
Nevil looked at Seak and thought of a senseless comeback " What if you were pushed down to bow to the king wouldn't you be bowing then ? " " I said "I "will" not bow" so being forced to bow doesn't mean I did it ... when I respected the principal I respected her on my own without anyone forcing me . "
Seak continued reading and Nevil thought of a topic " Hey have you heard of gods traversing to worlds ? " " You want to go back to your world ? " " No just wondering " Nevil left him while Seak could hear the idiot in the orb start talking .
" Shut up " the idiot heard Seak and was startled " Who are you ? " " Shut up old man If you keep bothering me I'll send you out of my space " the idiot heard this and was startled ' I defeated a higher dimensional being so why is this kid being cocky ? '
' Once I took my physical form back I'll go out and kill you ' Seak intently glared at the idiot " I'll tell you one thing first principal ... I give people chances but if you stab me at the back that means you just wasted one chance . "
" And you are very unlucky to have two " Seak trapped the orb alone taking away the tome and giving the idiot a sense of danger " Because the more chances I gave you the more I'm gonna hit you back when you lose all of them ... just like karma . "
Seak let the idiot be free and threw back the tome of immortality which contained the studies of controlling magic through the body " Use that orb as a base and construct your body . " Seak wanted to test if a mind can affect the magic-enhanced body .
So finding the greedy principal sorcerer was a perfect person to bring the results ' Right who was that man who took out the grimoire at the library and what was he trying to do ? ' Seak wanted answers even though he loved to read in the library he still needs a breather .
Seak but the book back and went to find the principal . He sees Nevil going in the same direction ' He is a talented idiot , of course , she would call him ' he followed behind Nevil unnoticed . They both arrived at the meeting room with only a few people present mainly the principal and a few masters .
" Nevil wait outside we will discuss it with you " the master closed the door after greeting him and he sees Seak " You out of the library ? " he showed surprise as Seak waited beside the door .
" I don't stay holed up inside a library all the time " Seak looked down the stairs leading to the structure seeing students practice magic on their bodies ' Good note ' " Was that guy at the library a traitor ? "
Nevil nods " I see did your helper say anything on the way ? " Seak looked into Nevil's soul to still see a powerful one and shuts his senses off continuing the conversation " Yes , it did say something about my soul and our compatibility "
Seak became uninterested and eavesdrop on the meeting ' So that guy went to find a higher dimensional being to communicate so he can live forever ... I guess the first principal knew this and so he chose a different approach instead . '
He looked at the idiot obediently staying still without any intention to offend Seak ' He does have a brain after all ' Seak threw some magic down to the orb " This is a magic with a lifeforce nature use it to make your body "
Nevil interrupted his talk with the first principal by shaking him " Hey Seak are you okay ? " Seak shook his head to get rid of the confusion " I'm fine what made you think I wasn't ? " Nevil tap his head .
" My helper told me " Seak grumbles silently and thinks about the higher dimensional being . Nevil then hears a woman's voice who was flirting with Seak " Hey big guy you look very handsome " ' Sorry but this face is just a random alteration of my real face . '
Seak looked at Nevil who seemed annoyed too ' She is bad news , isn't she ? ' " Get away from me " Seak prepared an invisible formation in front of him as the girl tried to approach him " Nevil the principal is calling you . "
Nevil hurriedly goes in as the woman tried to approach Seak that she already touched the invisible formation " Ah " the repelling force was light and Seak left the woman as she gets up from the floor ' Good riddance ' Seak walked away as he was also called by another master .
The masters left Nevil , Seak and the principal in the meeting room " My old student has come to seek the grimoire that contained the spell for immortality ... but this spell contacts a being from a higher realm . "
" And offers the sorcerer their immortal magic " Seak finished her sentence as he had seen the higher realms " He's right that is the offer but some can make a price for it ... the being they are contacting is a warlock who seeks to conquer "
The principal brings out an illusion to demonstrate " When the first principal contacted the warlock he was greedy for conquest and made a shield protecting our realm " circles appeared and spread throughout the world .
" We spread the shields but he knows the location of two important shields " Seak looked at the locations and one was fading " And I think calling us here means you need to protect the shield in this school ? "
Nevil took Seak's line as he took the chance to look cool " Yes I suppose ... and this warlock lent Ames his magic and he could potentially mess up the state of our realm . "
The principal walks out of the meeting room and they saw the students walking around with weapons as they made their way to their positions " Prepare for battle I guess " Seak took out the book of runes and looked at Nevil who prepared his weapon which was a ring .
" That's your weapon ? " " It's more than just writings Nevil still better than a ring that lets you appear into a place within your vision " " I improvised with clairvoyance " " At least you have ideas "
Seak looked up to see the weather change " He's coming " a master warned the students . The students conjured magic shields and wielded swords as a figure walking on the clouds .
" Ames stopped " the principal stood at an equal height looking at her former student " Hello first principal remember why I seek an answer in the arts ? ... I was sick when I came to you I had the desire to cure my sickness , I learned from you only for you to keep secrets from me "
" I was protecting you " " From a cure " " From your desires " " I was sick and wanted to live " the thunder roared louder as Ames became angrier " Well he either dies a hero or live long to be the villain "
Seak told himself looking up at the sky as Nevil was looking at him " Severus is deceiving you ... you don't know what he truly wants " " He wants to rule the realms and give us all ... paradise of ETERNAL LIFE "
Thunder struck the grounds injuring and killing some students " Master ! " Nevil blocked incoming thunder and Seak did the same while also blocking for those around him " She's fine ... worry 'bout yourself "
Some students retreated and supported Seak's shield together with him " But she is fighting with someone who is borrowing magic from a higher realm " Seak kept his focus together changing his shield to block only incoming lightning .
" She knows how to deal with her student " Seak opened the book and located the shield and sent runes to protect it " Seak what are you doing ? " Nevil looked at the scene of Seak sending the runes to the shield for protection .
Seak ignored him and concentrated on the attack and saw the principal sending Ames away and the storm faded leaving corpses and wounded students " Did we win " " This doesn't feel like we did "
Seak shared senses with the runes and frowned recalling them back to the book " Seak come on let's help with the students " Seak followed Nevil and started healing the students that were alive while Nevil walked to further and looked back .
" Hey, why are you stopping ? " Seak continued healing the injured hearing thanks " I'm helping the students like you said " Seak was distracted and was pulled by Nevil pointing at a student who was laying on the floor
" Come on there are more students who are in a more dangerous state than just a broken limb " Seak stared at her " Nevil this girl ... she's dead " " So what you can bring her back right my helper told me you can bring back the dead with your magic "
" Why are you so through in bringing her back ? Isn't she someone you don't even like ? " Seak freed his arm from Nevil's grip and returned to heal the injured " But that is no excuse to not bring her back "
Seak narrowed his eyes turning his pupils in the direction of Nevil's shadow " That is not my excuse " Seak continued quickly healing the students leaving Nevil stunned .
" What do you mean that is not your excuse ? " " I mean I have another excuse not to do it " Nevil became angry and took a grip on Seak's uniform and pushed him to the wall " And what is it then ? "
Seak pushed Nevil's arms and patted his uniform " I'll tell you in private " Seak threw the book of runes outside letting it heal those that were injured and pulled Nevil into the meeting room using his ring .
" I have no reasons to bring back someone who is that weak " " But you can help them " " And make me control the life and death of others " Seak's words struck Nevil's mind " Then if you could predict the future did you see this happening ? "
Seak looked at Nevil without paying too much attention " I didn't do it " " But if you did you could have prevented a terrible future " " If you think the death of some insignificant lives is terrible then wait till you see the reign of Severus . "
" Then why ? ... why didn't you bring her back to life ? " " Because I don't want to control life and death ... of others " " But you resurrected yourself every time you died " " I hope that was an assumption instead of you absorbing my experience ? "
Nevil nodded and looked at the door hearing some wheels rolling to bring some other injured students to the ward " Yeah I assumed from your words " " Good " Seak went to the door but was stopped by Nevil .
" So why ? " Seak pushed his hand away and continued walking " I already said it I don't want to control the life and death of others , because it gives you the feeling of power and I have no interest in corrupting myself " Seak went outside and walked to the place where the shield was guarded .
" Oh no " " I believe Nevil is still okay " Seak sees the principal walking around the pile of rumbles " Does this mean that you know the shields are broken ? " she shook her head and projected another illusion .
" While Ames destroyed the two important shields the first principal made ... We made more shields while weaker than the two important shields together they are stronger it will take some time until Ames destroys them all "
" I think your suggestion is not to protect them but to buy time so you can produce another stronger shield ... am I right ? " she smiled and nodded " And I know you won't help me because you don't know how to because you haven't read the art yet . "
Seak bows to the principal " I understand there is some knowledge that could let us lose control which is why you only help lower than your real capabilities " Seak left the rumble and retrieved the book of runes into his storage .
" I wonder how long that would take ... but the most I should do is to keep Ames at bay ... Nevil will have to help on this " Seak asked for Nevil's location and went to the library where Nevil kept reading the books .
" Nevil I need your help to keep Ames at bay while the principal and the masters construct a shield equal to the strength of the important ones " Nevil froze and stopped reading and looked at Seak .
" Isn't there... but there wasn't an art in the library ? " Nevil talked with a shaky voice and Seak threw dust in his eyes " Agh " " Calm down idiot I don't want you to be stressed something " " OKAY ! gasp ... I'm fine "
" Yes and the principal also mentioned there are other shields though weaker they wield stronger powers than one important shield " Seak put the book Nevil was reading back on its shelf " I believe you only studied in this school for less than a year "
" Three months actually " " Whatever ... Also you should stop trying to control everything " " But I wasn't " Seak nodded " I don't care at all because you should be like the principal and the masters "
" As in like ... good in magic ? " " No in controlling yourself " " I can control myself what about you ? " " Of course I can that is why I didn't help those who were dead . Now let's get moving "
" Oh right " Nevil opened a portal and smiled at Seak " Also this doesn't just teleport me " Seak frowned and sighed with disappointment " You think Ames is gonna go for a well-hidden shield location ? "
" Uhm yes I did hear it at the meeting before you came in they discussed all the strong shields " " And did you see that information here ? " Nevil shook his head " Of course , you didn't " Seak took the ring and clenched it changing the portal location .
" Here this is where Ames will be arriving it is the closest and exposed area all we have to do is use throw a rod for him to see and use the shield as a bait " " How'd you know this is where Ames is going to come here ? "
" I was just guessing after seeing the direction he flew to , the most exposed location and the place that has no concealment . Plus if he can destroy as many shields as he can he would go for the weak ones ... no need to break the ones that are well hidden the magic he got is only for destruction not versatility "
Seak threw the ring back to Nevil " So you coming or not ? " Nevil sighs and puts on the ring .
" Yeah sure of course ... but you better be right " " I already have a plan to bait him you idiot " they both walked through the portal to protect a potential target of Ames the sorcerer who borrowed the powers of Severus .80Please respect copyright.PENANAAt6HeNPJYx
