15 Thats A Freaking Living Being (1/2)
Arima and Night pa.s.sed the night at the Wing's Nest.
”Good morning” The next day, Arima greeted Aria.
”h.e.l.lo Arima” She answered ”I heard you were leaving today” She said
”Eh? Who told you that?” Arima was surprised
Aria pointed somewhere, he followed her finger and saw Night shamelessly eating a really big and expensive looking meat ”You...”
Night turned his head to avoid Arima's look ”Anyway, yeah, I'm leaving now” Arima said
Aria nodded ”Good. Next time I'll beat you” She said earnestly
Arima blinked ”Are you actually a battle junkie?”
She tilted her head ”What is that?”
”Nothing. You don't need to know.”
”Arima, I don't think you really have the right to call someone a battle junkie” Night commented when he heard Arima.
Arima ate his lunch. He bid farewell to Aria and left with Night.
After leaving the city, Arima and Night resonated. Once in his dragon form, Arima began to stretch and crack his neck.
”Let's go” He deployed his wings and flapped them. He instantly became a flash and flew away, he stopped only when he was four hundred meters high. His wings stopped moving too but they were producing some kind of red mist.
Arima looked around, when he was about to directly head to the Alliance, he noticed something that made him frown. So instead, he headed towards another direction, it was a plain a few miles away from the city.
”This...” Arima looked even more perplexed.
”{What's wrong?}” Night asked
”Do you see that?”
”{That? Isn't that just a plain}”
”Yes, it definitely is” He paused ”And that's also the place where I summoned you”
”{Mh? So, what?}
Arima sighed strangely ”That's also the place I fought with you” Night didn't respond, he waited for Arima to talk ”So now, can you explain me why is this like that?”
He looked at the ground in front of him, the plain that should have been destroyed was already full of verdure. The cracks strangely closed and the craters became small hills.
”{Isn't that normal?}”
”If it's normal for you then that also means that it's normal for the other inhabitants of this world” He paused ”But I looked at the ecosystem of this world, the plants and trees should grow at the same speed. That there are magic circuits or not, normal trees grow at the same speed. But, if you're saying that it's normal then that means that when every time the environment is damaged in this world, it is repaired at a fast rate” Arima explained
Night began to ponder seriously and the more he thought about it the more he became confused ”{Does that mean that something that should not happen is regarded as normal by the inhabitants of this world?}” He suddenly realized.
”Yeah” Arima landed in the middle of the plain, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
”[Revelare caelum et terram] (Reveal the sky and the earth)” He chanted
”[Index mundo] (World Index)” Night was surprised, this was the first time he heard Arima chant with an actual incantation and keyword.
This was the best detection magic Arima could use. He felt something was strange. He concentrated his research in the area around him.
”I knew it” Arima suddenly opened his eyes
”{What did you find?}” Night asked in curiosity.
”I found a string of mana, that means that someone or something helped the nature here. And what surprises me is this mana's purity. No, more than pure, it's flawless, it feels like there are absolutely no impurities”
”{What? That's impossible. There is no way someone can have a completely pure mana. Even you are far from that}” Night was shocked.
One thing to know is that the more one's mana is pure the less it is wasted when casting magic. And to accomplish that, one needs to train his mind. Using mana means harmonizing it with the mind when the mind has traces of negatives emotions then the purity fall. It doesn't matter if one is bad or good. But if one has things like doubt, fear or hesitation then the quality of the mana will undoubtedly fall. And even though Arima is a monster in this aspect, his mana is purer than anyone else, but very far from perfect.
”It's a good thing that we're fused right now. You'll hold this string of mana while I'll try to a.n.a.lyze it” Arima said
”{Ok}”
Arima and Night turned completely silent. The former stayed in the same position for an hour before he opened his eyes slowly, they were filled with shock. Even Night stayed silent, not even daring to talk about what they just found out.
