Chapter 14 - The Types Of Magic (1/2)

Evan and Zak were talking to each other while sipping cocktails and paying absolutely no attention to the two-meter sword stuck in the wall.

”Commander Zak, what did you mean when you said I `m maybe like you?” This phrase didn`t make sense to Evan, for he did not understand why physical training was necessary for a magician.

To him, physical training was only necessary to keep the body fit. After all, in his past world, physical strength was practically unappreciated.

One thing Evan kept forgetting, that he had entered a completely different and new world, with its own rules and priorities.

”Ah, I`m sorry I keep forgetting what hole you're from.” For Zak, Evan's whole life had been spent in the very small village, where, by coincidence, he had actually taken him from.

”Well ,I think it's time for the first lecture on magic, so listen carefully.” Zak took a sip and continued.

”There are three basic types of magic: Amplification Magic, Creation Magic and Summoning Magic. People, who use one or the other type of magic, are called respectively: Amplifiers, Creators, and Summoners. Simply put, there are three Classes of Magicians.”

This information threw Evan into a stupor. It was a real break of stereotypes for him. There were only two types of magicians in his past world: the Light and the Dark ones, and that was it. The entire world was built on the confrontation of these two forces and all the wars took place because of it.

”And what`s the difference?” Evan couldn't help but ask. He was just desperate to know. Magic and its study had always interested him.

”One second.”

Zak took a deep breath and shouted very loudly: ”Margaret!”

Evan didn't know who the commander was calling for, but it seems this girl was an important figure in his estate.

After a while, Evan saw an enchanting girl heading toward them. She was walking slowly in their direction with her arms folded around her waist.

Her hair was red and she had a bob hairstyle that suited her perfectly. The wind blew her hair, and her emerald eyes enchanted the heart of any man at first sight.

She was dressed in a black maid's suit. It seemed to Evan, though, that it was too revealing in all her squeamish places.

”Mr. Zak, why are you yelling so loudly? I`ve reminded you for many times that I have a very sensitive hearing.”

Her voice was calm and her face completely unemotional. She seemed to be used to these situations a long time ago.

”Get my gear ready in the underground hall and send someone to get us a drink.”

”I see. And how should I treat this man?”

Zak looked at Evan and thought for a while. After all, if Evan was going to stay here for as long as two months, the servants had to address him somehow.

Zak had accepted the decision, believing that it was a right one then, replied, ”Consider him my successor.”

Evan was surprised, and Margaret covered her mouth with her hand and said reproachfully: ”Mr. Zak, didn't you always say you would marry me? And it turns out you`ve got such a grown-up son?”

Zak waved his hands and immediately began to make excuses: ”No, no, no, I don't have any children and my heart belongs to you. It's just a special situation with him.”

Margaret stared at Zak with eyes as cold as ice. Then he shifted his gaze to Evan and back to Zak, and so several times in a row.

”All right, I believe you. I'll let my slackers know and get everything ready.” After these words, Margaret went away.

”I don`t like to repeat twice, but Commander, you do have excellent taste. She`s a real iron lady.”

Evan was stunned by the scene he had just seen. Realizing that there was a special relationship between these two, despite the difference in status. So things quickly fell into place.
