Seeing the confused expression on Ned"s face she issued a soft laugh and but then replied, "There are indeed prophecies concerning a human hero. But as far as I know the humans are already training him no? What does that have to do with you? Like you said you"ll be going on an adventure.""And even if your "sword" master said that has faith that you are the hero or whatever, it doesn"t mean he is right. And suppose he is, so what ? A hero is not what you probably think. You may one day kill someone you were enemies with, but then you find out he was a threat to the world. It makes you a hero with out all the annoying other traits " She said emphasizing the sword part, but still saying something important that Ned understood but didn"t fully agree. Still he gave her a nod.
"okay. Now then about this, how should I say it, err, why do you bow for me every time you get out the house ?" She asked him perplexed. As she didn"t understand why would he do it.
"So you really were protecting me." Ned exclaimed with a small smile. Even if the protection was not needed, he was happy someone was doing this for him. Not to mention someone that strong.
"Of course brat, who do you think I am ?" She replied irritated at him.
"I bowed in respect for you in case you really were protecting me. Just so you know, I bow only to those that I respect and trust." Ned stated. And she saw the conviction of his words and the purity of his feelings.
Giving a nod of approval she said, "Well then I suppose it"s time I leave now." But she suddenly remembered one of the reasons she came to talk with him.
"I almost forgot, but here is this manual for a lost magic for the current people, when you master it you will be able to chat with me no matter how far you are. And don"t let anyone else have it, plus it can only be used by those who have affinities for s.p.a.ce element and I don"t, but I have sensed you have for all elements" She said as she didn"t want to keep coming down every time.
"Thank you" Ned said his thanks, but the excitement contained in his voice didn"t go unnoticed by Eline, but she just smiled and left the room. And he also didn"t mind if she knew he has affinities for all elements as having it alone won"t make you a master of all types of magic.
Rather you would at best master three or four.
Alone now he didn"t waste time and scanned it, and the information appeared in his mind.
[s.p.a.ce transmission: Lost magic that can enable two people to talk from far distances using s.p.a.ce magic.]
He was surprised and his excitement that was already there doubled in an instant. As with this, even if he didn"t master the three steps of Hermes when he was adventuring he could still talk to her.
Now having something new to train with Ned was once again happy. Wasting no time he vanished from atop the bed he was sitting on and appeared on his bed in the s.p.a.ce and hurriedly took a meditating pose.
Since it was already night time, and he was ready for his magic training as usual, he thought to add the s.p.a.ce magic into his schedule too.
He had already talked with Lori for the day, and he enjoyed it as much as he did the other times. She was funny and kind and he was lucky she even liked him.
And just like that his training finished when the morning came and it was time for a new day.
Meditation was fascinating thing no matter how much he did it, it always amazed him. How you start dead tired, but end up being refreshed.
Eating breakfast with Alaster and Lori was fun as usual. And training that followed was the same as usual.
.........
The time flowed just like usual in this style until one day, when Ned read about the time magic.
He was interested in the magic, but then he remembered stuff he read in his past world, about how the time flows differently in other dimensions. Though it was just a theory at that time, now it was a possibility.
He wanted to ask Emmy about this as she had had an upgrade.

And even though he was not particularly close with his parents, he didn"t want anything bad to happen to them. Even if he already expected the answer.
"Emmy I have a question." Taking a deep breath he composed himself.
"Does time flow differently in this world than in my original?" He said.
"(Yes.") Emmy replied.
"Then are my parents already dead?" this question he asked sounded a bit anxious and afraid.
"(since you came to this world, three generations of people had pa.s.sed") Emmy replied.
He took heavy breaths to calm himself, he was angry, sad… but he had to compose himself.
As if sensing him Emmy said "(Your parents lived happy after recovering from your lost. The day you pa.s.sed here, any person related to you with the condition of being pure and not malicious, were bestowed good luck for the rest of their lives. This includes your future generation relatives up to a miniscule level)"
As he was trying to calm down, he heard this and even if it made him a bit relieved he was still sad. And he needed a bit of time to himself.
He was never good at this type of feelings.
But he went up the roof of the castle in the night, got a bottle of wine he had got from the old man many days ago, and started drinking while gazing at the dark sky. He was never a fan of drinking but he did admit that it was good for times like this.
But he wasn"t even past half the cup he was drinking when Eline joined him silently offering a cup ornately decorated she brought from somewhere he didn"t know.
He filled her cup too and appreciated the silence.
