I opened my heavy eyes after who knows how long. The first thing that I felt is that its warm. Then I realized that on my right hand is a girl with fox ears sleeping next to me. I am familiar with this girl. Its Itazura. I pat her head slowly. She seems to not notice it since she is still asleep.

I also realized that I was back home, in my own room.

I tried to check my body for any wounds. I touched my neck but there are no burnt marks on it. I checked my chest or other areas. I even checked my crotch if it was still intact and luckily, it was. I tried sensing my mana capacity and I frowned.

My mana capacity increased?

This was clearly not how my mana capacity has. I trained for a few days to determine Mana capacity under the training from Moonlight and it proved fruitful. Mana is dense.

A normal person has only a few mana around them like around 10 drops of water in your body. When I formally trained from the guidance of Moonlight, my mana capacity is around the same amount of a cup of water. Its not yet the amount of capacity that a Magician can be fully called as a Rank 0 Apprentice.

Magicians has ranks, which would be Rank 0: Apprentice, Rank 1: Mage, Rank 2: Sorcerer, Rank 3: Conjurer, Rank 4: Wizard, Rank 5: Magus, Rank 6: Warlock, Rank 7: Archmage and Rank 8: Archbishop. And the first one is the Rank 0 Apprentice, the lowest rank a magician has. Usually, it was only given to people who had fully developed their mana capacity to a certain amount which is around 4 cups of water in a mug. Rank 1 Mage is the next rank that will be given as long as you reach the perquisites of your mana capacity and magic knowledge and as your mana capacity reaches the very maximum where your body will be overwhelming with mana in which almost you are able to recover the amount of mana you lost every time you cast a spell. Also, you also need to be knowledgeable to most spells known. Then you will be awarded as one of the highest ranking magician, the Rank 8: Archbishop.

Right now, I can clearly see that my mana capacity were clearly around 5 cups of water inside the mug. This amount is already beyond the amount of mana a Rank 0: Apprentice has! So does that mean I am already a formal magician now due to the drastic increase of my mana?

I also noticed that Itazura seems different. Her one tail in the past were clearly two tails now! Moreover, her brown hair that should be deep brown in color is now in the tinge of lighter brown. According to Volta and Moonlight, familiars grow alongside their master and if their master grow stronger, the familiars also get stronger. Does that mean I got stronger?


As I was thinking of many things, a girl with silver hair entered my room carrying a tray of food and water. She wears a pink s.h.i.+rt with a "DOPE" print and a blue shorts that reveals her flawless white legs. This attire was clearly an attire only worn when you are at home. Does that mean, she already made this house her home?

She blinked as she saw me already awake. She smiled before putting the tray into the table ad approaching the side of the bed.

"You are awake, I thought you died already," Moonlight said to me.

"I also thought so, my memories were kinda hazy but I can clearly remember that I was almost killed by that monster," I said as I recalled the events earlier. "By the way, what happened to that guy? Also the girl, is she okay? Did she reunited with her mother?"

"The monster? He was killed when Volta arrived in the scene. He noticed your fluctuations nearby and rescued you. When he arrived, he only saw the girl on the side of the wall, unconscious, you on the vacant lot also unconscious. On your right hand is a red level 4 monster core. You shouldn"t worry on the girl, she was rescued and was handed back to her mother. The police investigated it and it was then concluded by them that the kidnapper escaped when you fought back, Volta made up the remaining story though," Moonlight said.

"I see... wait, did you just say level 4?" I looked at her in surprised tone.

"Yeah, a level 4 monster core. The monster you fought that time is a level 4 monster. You should not be allowed to kill that guy yet since you have a higher chance of being killed but it was proved wrong since the monster was already killed before Volta arrived on the scene," Moonlight explained.

"Already killed? I don"t remember killing that monster. Been if I can, that would be the help of others. Wait, that is right! How long was I sleeping?" I asked when I remembered it.

"2 days since the events," Moonlight answered.

"What?! Then... the job that I undertaken... the money..." I weakly muttered.

"Ahahaha, don"t worry, the Job was already turned in by Volta since you were unconscious. He also added that you killed a level 4 monster and asked the requester to increase the reward. Since the one who undertook the quest almost died due to the unprecedented event, your reward increased and got a level 3 monster core and 150,000 yen. Also, the level 4 core is your loot so it was clearly ent.i.tled to you."

150,000?! This is big enough! I can last a whole month of food and supply using that amount of money now! Moreover, instead of a level 2 core, it was a level 3 and I have another extra core which is a level 4 core. This reward was clearly very awesome indeed. But if you think about it, I almost died just for finis.h.i.+ng this quest.

Moonlight stood up and pace on the side of the bed, sighing.

"I admire that you want to beat up the enemy earlier by yourself. However, it was clear that being too overconfident can cost you your life. Thankfully, you were tracked by Volta earlier. If not, you are clearly not speaking right in front of me after that incident," Moonlight said in a serious tone.

"I..." I cast a downcast look on Moonlight.

"But...with that experience that you got from the last battle, it was clear that you got lots of benefits. For example, your mana capacity," Moonlight.

This time, I cast a serious look on Moonlight. I don"t know why my mana capacity increased even though I have not trained much on increasing my mana.

"Your last fight made your body awaken a bit of your power to aid you in your dire situation that time. In my guess, when you are in grave danger, your body"s response is to survive and to do that, your mana capacity expanded, allowing you to cast whatever spell you used during the last time," Moonlight explained. She also looked on Itazura. With the two tails behind Itazura, it was clear that her powers grow up too.

"If that is the case on my sudden mana capacity increase, then why did Itazura changed? I did not bring her in the fight after all," I asked Moonlight.

"It wasn"t strange for Itazura to go level up too even if she did not partic.i.p.ate in the battle. Since she was your familiar, your growth also enhances here growth, allowing her to grow another tail. If she grows nine tails and become the Kyuubi, she will become one of the strongest familiars that will help you on becoming a Magician. Her potential is big so I suggest that you bring her in the future in battles," Moonlight explained.

"I need to perform another kind of battle like that in the future?!" I sweated, I barely survived last time, maybe it was a fluke I survived. If my luck run out, then I would clearly die.

"Why not? Magicians mature by fighting monsters. If not for the fact of the existence of us magicians, this world might have already fallen to the hands of the monsters ad humans will be used as livestock instead.," Moonlight said seriously.

I got lost in thought. Indeed, I can"t escape this one. I already accepted the fate that I will become a magician and will no longer live a normal life., which means, sooner or later, fights similar to that are unavoidable.

Moonlight walk back to the doorway before looking back into my direction once again.

"Anyway, congratulations for becoming a Full-Fledged Magician. Since you have already fulfilled the requirements, you are already a Rank 0: Apprentice. And for that, you need to come with me later," Moonlight said.

"Huh? Where are we going?"

"Your feats are recorded in the books of the Warlocks. You need to gain your magician insignia to be formally recognized by other fellow magicians that you are a magician. You will come with me to meet the Council of Magicians."
