The spell was not that complicated. It was simplified to the point that even an idiot can learn it. I just need to imagine a flowing water bursting out in my hand by directing my mana out of my body. Although I struggled at first, it was successful. However, it"s not a torrent but like a waterfall. I asked Zan about it and he just laughs about it. I have not mastered it yet that is why it"s very weak than usual.I am getting tired as time pa.s.s by whenever I use magic. It"s more exhausting than having an intense workout. I decided to stop for now. My test is in the bathroom as I was afraid my items on the living room would get wet if my torrent came bursting out.
I look in the mirror and my beard is already noticeable. You might think I was a geezer with a beard like this. I sighed and picked up my razor and began my shaving operation on my poor beard. If I want to be a presentable magician, I can"t have a look that is more similar to sages than to a magician.
After the few minutes of intense shaving, my beard and mustache are gone and my face is back to its s.h.i.+ning glory. I feel more comfortable now.
Guuuuuuuuu~
Uhhh. My stomach is grumbling. d.a.m.n, if I had just eaten my breakfast and dinner, I won"t be this hungry. I have no number to instant delivery food yet since I was living with a cup of ramen when I am lazy to cook food and I don"t have any supply inside my refrigerator so I have no choice but to go out to eat.
I changed into my grey hoodie and wore a face mask, covering my face. I put the hoodie to cover my silky grey hair and put on the faded jeans and my black sneakers. I also took my wallet and stuff it inside my pocket. I did not forget my phone in case any of the Magicians mention me in the chat, I can respond immediately.
The streets of s.h.i.+buya, as usual, are very rowdy even today. Still, I was able to find a good restaurant. This restaurant was getting crowded so I quickly secured my seat as quickly as possible. Thankfully, I managed to grab one vacant seat in a two-person table.
I called the waiter and ordered a lot of food. Anyway, I have enough money to waste and besides, it"s for food, I am not wasting it on useless stuff. Although the waiter looks hesitant, he decided to put my order immediately. While waiting, I focused my mind to sense the mana. According to the meditation manual, in public where there are many people present, sensing the mana around is the best meditation for magicians.
I tried hard enough to sense it and luckily, I was able to sense it but faint enough. I am not discouraged a bit even with that little progress. I am not in a rush to become an apprentice magician level as I was originally a normal human without any experience of magic.
Before the food was about to get served, a familiar short-haired girl approached my table and looked at me.
"Is this seat taken?"
I shook my head. Of course, the girl who asked me that is none other than Erina. Erina sat down to the vacant seat and also ordered food from the waiter.
Erina is currently wearing a normal outfit, a red knitted coat with a striped s.h.i.+rt under it. She also wears pants for girls. The pants are semi-fit to her feet. The set of clothes she wear was quite amazing though, her fas.h.i.+on sense was quite good indeed.
Still, I have no time to admire her. I am busy with my meditation. She checks her phone a bit before looking at me.
"Hey there Kazuma," Erina smiled.
My meditation was interrupted and I was surprised. She can still see me under this guise? My hair and my face was hidden except my eyes of course, but that isn"t enough for anyone to know my ident.i.ty immediately!
I took off my face mask and stare at her.
"How come you can see me under this hoodie?!" I frowned but she just giggled.
"Aw, come on, who wouldn"t notice. We are cla.s.smates for 5 years, who wouldn"t memorize their mannerisms?" Erina giggled again.
"Of course, me! I don"t even remember most of our cla.s.smate"s faces and if they disguise themselves, I won"t even notice!" I muttered to myself.
"Did you just said something?" Erina tilted her head.
"Nothing, I am just hungry," I said and then I noticed the waiter going to our table. He pushes a trolley containing all the food that I ordered. Just looking at them made my mouth water in antic.i.p.ation.
"Here is your order Sir," the waiter put the dishes one by one.
I rubbed my hands and clap them together.
"Thanks for the food!" And I quickly wolf down the food. I don"t care if that is fried chicken or some salad, as long as it is food, I devoured it.
Erina looked at me with strange eyes.
"I don"t remember you having an appet.i.te like this," she said as she was still stunned on me wolfing down the food on the plate then to the other.
"Ihush haff theshafettayt...gulp. Since the beginning," I said to her before I continue to bite down a turkey leg.
"Uh..." Erina was hesitant but her order also arrived which is a mapo tofu and fruit parfait. What a strange combination. He also clapped her hands together.
"Thanks for the meal!" and she scoops the mapo tofu and blows it a bit before she swallows it down. I was surprised since she didn"t even scream that it was spicy. Most of the people who eat mapo tofu would always try screaming or having their face beet red due to the spiciness of the food and yet, she didn"t even have it.
I did not mind her and continue devouring the food at a fast pace. Still, I felt hungry more, but I also noticed that my mana is also rapidly regenerating and the mana condensed around me seems to thicken.
"Did I just level up?" I muttered. When you level up as a magician, the whole area around you will thicken and your body will try to suck in the mana around. Did I just level up by eating?
Erina also paused and looked around but then she shrugged it off. Did she notice the changes around the place? I hope not.
Just as I was about to finish off the last food, a man in his forties with a dirty ap.r.o.n hanging on his neck and settling on his bulging belly while holding a vodka or wine bottle or whatever it was entered the restaurant. He was rude that he just swipe off the person on the entrance, tumbling him down into the nearby table. Then the man started talking like a thug.
"Shut up, peasant! Give me a bottle of wine, a whole lot of wine or else I will wreck this place!" He then pulls out a cleaver.
Everyone gasps except for me who keeps on chewing food. I was also surprised by my calmness. I should be also scared sh*tless if I encounter something like this in a public place like this but for some reason, I feel calmer than expected.
The waiter bravely approached the big guy.
"S-sorry sir... b-but we don"t serve alcoholic drinks here," he said.
"I don"t care! Serve me alcohol or I will cut your neck off!" he roared and he suddenly raised his arm and...
Slas.h.!.+
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
Screams started to manifest around the place as the left arm of the waiter was cut off by the man and the man who was holding a cleaver had his free arm turn into pincers like those pincers a crab has. This time, my eyes are glued into the enemy. I pulled Erina who is stunned watching the events. I was calm and composed but my heart is throbbing. I pulled out my phone and chatted the server of Anonymous.

And with that, a strong burst of energy burst out from the entrance and smashed through the man with a pincer. A guy wearing a red coat like a rider, with Violet hair crackling with electricity. He also has a headphone crackling with electricity. He looks into my direction and grinned.
"I told you I will be there, tell the chat I made a das.h.i.+ng entrance," he grinned with his white teeth sparkling. This guy must be Volta.
