Chapter 3 (2/2)
Since he wasn’t really in a hurry, he sat down on the chair in front of the desk like he was told
“Fuehehe Then let in”
She put her hands on the crystal ball and concentrated Hiiro silently watched over her with crossed arms It didn’t escape him that she suddenly narrowed her eyes
“…Oho, you have a strange star fortune”
“Strange?”
“Fuehehe, everyone has a star in their heart Each has its own shape, colour, size and radiance My divination allows me to see them And while I have seen many up till now, I have never seen such a powerful star like yours before”
“Mhm~”
“It’s powerful and to shut out a burning red, a dark blue rules over its surroundings The shape is an ile corner and it shi+nes so bright that it opens the eyes of anyone who looks at it I see… This country aside, you are not even from this world”
He stood up at once with a clattering of the chair How did this fortune-teller know this? Hiiro felt doubtful
(Can fortune-telling do this? No, ic?)
Thinking that, he glared at her with a sharp look He didn’t care that she know, but he got wary on reflex
“…Sit down I’ to spread it And while people fro you”
“…You met one before?”
“Yes, just once when I was still young The person back then had a strange star as well”
“…I see So, what’s the deal?”
“Fuehehe, you will get, no, you already have the wings of freedoroide and warm in all aspects”
He didn’t get what she was talking about, but it didn’t see ill
“Many will likely gather at the light you are in pursue for these wings”
“Geh, that’s bad I prefer to be alone”
“Fuehehe, well, it’s nothing but one possible future By hearing this today, this future became more likely for you That’s all”
“Mhet it I’ll just do what I want”
“Fuehehe, do that Incidentally, didn’t you want to ask so?”
“Yeah Like you said, I coic in ic here, nor do I kno to use it I’ve to learn it as fast as possible…”
“Oho, I understand A world without ”
There Hiiro suddenly realized and looked at the old woman
“Hey, could you teach ic?”
“I don’t mind”
He had thought she would turn him down, but apparently she accepted
“Do you knohere ic power comes from?”
“Nope”
That’s why I’, hat he stifled to say
“Maybe the heart or brain?”
“No, no The ic power comes from the blood”
“Blood?”
“Yes, every living organisic”
“Oh”
“That’s why you focus on the flow of your blood in your veins, when concentrating ic power”
“The flow of blood?”
“Yes, look closely”
Saying so, the old woushed forth froradually assumed shape until it was a sphere in her hand
“That’s ic power”
“Wow So it’s so this visible?”
“Well, it takes a lot of training to ined it gathering in my hand”
“Iine, huh”
“Magic is the power to iic power is currently circulating inside this sphere like blood”
“Sounds a bit coist of it Anyway, it wouldn’t be wrong to say blood flow = ht?”
“Indeed”
“And to utilize the hby that…”
While saying so, he ier Upon that, his fingertip glowed pale and became a little bit warm
“So you can even do stuff like that I see, so this is ic”
The old wo open in surprise
“Oh, what a surprise! You said it’s your first tiht?”
“Mh? Yeah”
“Nevertheless, you can control it already You ination”
“Well, I AM a bookworination”
Books consisted only of words and one had to iine the written text in one’s head To visualize the place, person and action in one’s ination
Hiiro had buried hiination ell trained Or rather, it was his only strong point he felt confident about When he stopped ier tip
“Thank you Now I get what ic power is”
“Glad to hear”
“One , do I just chant a spell while I focus on the flow of ic?”
“Quite so Look ≪Fire Ball≫”
The old woer and chanted, then a fire ball with the size of a tennis ball appeared
“Ohhhhhhh”
Hiiro raised an excited voice in ad it for the first time
“I kept it sination and ic power”
“I see But I don’t think I can use ≪Fire Ball≫”
“Mh? Is your attribute different?”
“Yeah, it’s unattributed”
“…Now that’s a rare attribute Those unattributed are unique ic users without fail Could it be you…”
“Wait a sec Unique? You ic just for oneself?”
“Yes”
According to the old woic: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Ice, Light and Darkness Unattributednone of these attributes In other words, soic of other attributes
In exchange, one had a ic
“By the way, unique ic is precious even in this world Actually, not many can actually control it”
“What do you mean?”
“Unique ic is always powerful And I heard it’s difficult to control And ic power explodes”
That story sent a shi+ver down Hiiro’s spine He never thought unique erous
“Control is ie even more so”
“Knowledge?”
“Yes, because one ends up with a ≪rebound≫, since he does not fully understand what his own ic and of oneself When all these are ic user”
“I see Thank you for telling me all this”
“The pleasure is all ht like yours”
He still couldn’t see the old wo as she raised her voice
“I ah I will charge you next time of course”
“So shrewd”
Then he parted with the old woate
