Leo was on the window sill , reading the "tome" . He slowly turned the pages as he read through them .
" Unexpectedly , learning magic is easy ." He thought as he kept reading .
He did not realize , to learn a certain magic , people had to come into contact with the element frequently . It was possible to do so without doing so as well , but then they needed a solid foundation .
Leo , had come in contact with lightning , or electricity for almost the whole of his life on Earth , and had recently built a foundation through learning of the theories behind lightning.
The "tome" recorded how to convert [ Mana ] into [ Magic ] and [ Magic ] into [ Elemental magic ] . Magic , is created from pure Mana , by bringing simple changes to it . Gifts use [ Magic ]. Magic can only be used inside the body . When it comes into contact with the atmosphere , it changes back into Mana .
This is what happens , unless magic changes once more before coming out of the body . It can turn into either aura or have a change in it"s element . It can go from it"s original [ Null ] element , to any other element , for example [ Lightning ] . Gifts make it easier to do this change , as they change the body of their host .
When Leo completed the last chapter he looked around for any changes , but nothing happened . He once again looked at the Tome and the last words it said was :
"Completely release your Mana and change it for the first time ."
in extremely small characters .
Leo sighed and willed his Mana to come out . This was the first time he had allowed his Mana to come out of his own volition . He could see the Mana colored in a deep black . " What is this ?" He thought as he looked at the Mana he released .
[ This is user Leo"s Mana in it"s purest form . It causes anyone except the user a stifling sensation on coming near it ]
Leo was surprised by this description . " So that"s what happens when I get angry ." He had finally discovered the reason for Leah"s breathlessness .
He shook his head then looked at the Tome in his hand . He held it in his left hand and focused all the Mana onto his right hand . He closed his eyes and slowly found himself looking at the lump of Mana , even with his closed eyes . He focused on it and tried to change it with the method in the Tome .
The Mana in his hands slowly turned cyan , to blue , to dark blue , then purple .
Zztzzztztzt .
He heard the crackling of lightning , but didn"t open his eyes . He continued focusing on the Mana and when he opened his eyes , there was lightning arcs all over his hand . They were purple in color and as they leapt all over his body , they gave him the feeling of being in the higher position , as if they were slaves , begging him to order them .
The arcs of lightning reached to his left hand , and as if by a magnetic force , directly jumped into it .
The Tome slowly , in front of his eyes , turned into pure lightning , then sank into his hand .
[ Nature"s attribute : Lightning comprehended ]
[ Lightning magic is now usable ]
[ Completed condition to evolve Gift:Dragon ]
[ Gift: Dragon has evolved to Tier - 7
+ Dragon"s breath now has 2 Elements
+ Restore 4% mana/minute
+ Magic resistance improved
+ Dragon fear improved
+ Dragon"s breath improved ]
His head hurt as he held onto it . The information flowed into his head and the Tome dissolved in his memories like water . He suddenly felt a warmth on his head and removed his hands to look at them .
They were burning , in pure black . But this time , it was different . There were arcs of black lightning going up and down his hands . He smiled as he looked at the beautiful scene and silently extinguished the flames . " Just 30% weaker than from my mouth . 70% effectiveness is nice too . Best part is , I am more or less resistant to all magic even if it is not mine . "
[ Magic resistance : 20% ]
Leo laughed as he opened the window and went back inside . " I"m done . If you want to make it easier , change the element of your Mana and make it reach out for the Tome . It helps with learning after you have read through it once ."
Leah looked at him and nodded before getting back to the " Tome Of Water " she was reading ." I guess after this there"s Tome of Ice ?"
" Elly ?" He said and waited for her to look at him . When she looked towards him he said " Water is always water , no matter what state . All you need is to reduce the temperature . Try it once ."
He went to a bed and laid down . After a few minutes Leah looked at him again , but this time she was surprised to see he was already asleep .
" Master !" He heard a sweet yell in his hand and instinctively caught the cat that jumped towards him . The kitten was still small in size , about the same size as his hand " I want you to introduce me to the outside world as soon as possible ."
Leo looked at "her" in surprise which increased when she said " I am a girl ."
Leo was once more dumbstruck as she added " I am connected with my master . I can read whatever my master thinks ."
He nodded as he said " How do I introduce you ? You have no name . Not that I know of at least ."
He cradled the cat in his arms like a baby and cuddled her softly . She kept purring as Leo sat down in the same darkness he was brought to last time .
" Even I have issues with only being able to see your eyes . " He said as he used one hand to stretch what seemed to be one of her ears and slowly rubbed her chest after .
" I am born of my master"s darkness . I have no name . My master needs to give me a name . " She said as the sweet sound of purring kept echoing in the room .
Leo thought for a while before he said " How about tywyll ?"
He immediately felt a scratch across his hand .
" Why not ? It is dark in a different language ." He said .
" It doesn"t seem close enough to master ." She paused for a while before she said " How about Luna ?"
