"... When...?"
I was sitting at the floor in Indian style and crossing my arms while looking at my little sister, she was sitting at our bed while gripping her trousers and fidgeting. She can"t even look at my eyes, her eyes were looking everywhere, she might be thinking some excuses or if she has to tell the truth...
Anyway, even in this situation my little sister is still cute.... d.a.m.n it, focus right now, me!
"Lyn" I called her name in a deep voice that makes my little sister trembled she looked Down; her mouth was opening then closed. Maybe, she doesn"t know how to explain; that"s why I choose not to speak and just look at her not looking anywhere, but that"s just made Lyn trembled more... She gripped her trouser more and it already has a wrinkle.
Seriously, I actually didn"t care whether she has a magic or not, I"m thankful whether she doesn"t have a mana or not, she"s still my little sister and I"m not even mad, well maybe a little but that"s because I"m worried about her. A little later Lyn decided to talk while still trembling.
"ba..ck.. Then... When... Big... Brother..." she said while trembling you can hear on her voice that she was scared... Sorry Lyn" when... When brother was about... To get killed.... " she gripped her trouser more and bit her lips and she was about to cry...
" so, when that man who was about to kill me. " I said while looking at her but I"m not smiling, my G.o.d. Why am I enjoying this? Holy... Do I have a s.a.d.i.s.tic uhh... Probably not...?
"that was the time your magic started to show, and you accidentally.... No, the man suddenly disappeared in front of you, was that it?" I said then I stood up.
Lyn, nodded at me. I think she accidentally killed the man, I sighed and patted her hair softly, she looked at me with teary eyes, then a few seconds she cried and hugged me, she really got scared of me, what should I say? She doesn"t do anything bad, it"s just that she was using her magic carefreely and that made me angry because using magic without knowledge how to control it will lead to sudden death...
That"s why I got angry at her but at the same time I got scared losing her. So, while she was hugging me and crying, I touched her back gently to comfort her a little.
"I"m not angry at you because you have a magic or you didn"t tell to me that you have magic..." I said gently, I patted her head again then she looks at me with a bit of tears in her eyes." instead of getting angry at you I"m actually happy but...." I paused a little then I continued what I"m going to say" I got terrified, scared... Not because of your magic but because of losing you... "
Lyn, wide her eyes and was confused as if she was saying "what do you mean my beloved cool big brother?", hmm? There"s something bias about that line? No, no, no. She really will say it you know? It"s not that I wanted her to say those embarra.s.sing line okay?
Anyway, I explain my reason why I was so scared and why I"m a little bit angry, I explain to her that using magic without proper knowledge can lead to some disaster, I didn"t say that she will die because she might start to get scared using magic, then I said "without knowing your limit and not knowing how to make your mana flow to your body, all the mana inside of your body will start to malfunction and it will explode."
Lyn, shuddered by my statement, ah... I said it... I didn"t put the word of "death", "die", "dead" but I just indirectly said it right? My little sister is smart, intelligent. So, she will probably get the outcome. She tightly hugs me and covered her face to my body... d.a.m.n I like this... Ehhem... It sounds like I"m a pervert, welllllllllll.. I"m a gentleman... Hehe.
I guess the me in my past and the me right now are just the same... It changes my personality a little bit...probably…
Anyway, I need to change the subject.
"so, why don"t we eat now?" I said then scratch my nose using my left index" my food that I prepared for you is delic.. Good.... Probably... “I avoided her suspicious gaze by turning back and goes to the dining room.
There, the food, spoon, fork, 2 small bowls, serving spoon. Is placed in the wooden table. Two wooden chairs, seriously not gonna lie, this old house is too good, it"s like the owner of this house left just a few months ago, because everything here is still usable, there"s no crack in everywhere the ceiling is still good, the only problem is the dusty areas, but we manage to clean this house like a new built... I actually don"t want to think about this, but it"s making me curious.
"bwowher, lesh eish shogesher" (brother let"s eat together.)
‘Eh... Lyn... My little sister, you just ask me to eat when you’re already eating. also, don’t speak while you are eating... Never mind, at least I found out that my little sister is a glutton.’
"I"nh nosh a shoshon!" (I"m not a glutton!)
"Lyn, I"ll pretend I didn"t hear something" I said" and I"ll also pretend that you can read others mind... "
Lyn, looked at me then swallowed her food then said something that I missed to heard" I can"t read people"s mind, its only you brother... ".
"?, what is it, Lyn? "
She shook her head and continued to eat, what is it? I know she said something about me...
" so... How"s my food? "
I"ll admit. I"m not sure if it"s delicious, because I don"t like it...
" it"s delish! Brother knows how to cook! "
I scratch my cheek using my finger while making a troubled smile.
As if Lyn saw my facial expression she suddenly said" brother, no self-confidence... "
Lyn’s gazed looks like she was looking to a pitiful brother... O-ouch... That hurt...
We continue eating; until we finish eating, now we should talk about her magic, after that I had to throw the organs of the horned rabbit including its bones, next what? I dunno, I"ll just think about it later. For now.
"Lyn, about your magic” Lyn looked at me seriously, why does it feel like I"m getting nervous... "E-hem" I cleared my throat as if I"m about to start, but I actually got interrupted by her curious gaze... It"s cute... AAHHHH I admit now that I"m a siscon!
"there"s six types of magic attribute" I said "fire, water, wind, earth, light and dark." I paused then continue to talk "light and dark is pretty rare to a person, while the four attribute is common for people the two attribute is pretty rare... Do you know why?"
Lyn shook her head left to right then look at me, you can see her face that she was telling "why is it rare for the 2 attributes my handsome cool brother? " like that, hm? There"s no bias in those lines okay? Don"t think I just want to hear it in her own mouth okay?
"so, you don"t know?" she nodded and I said "Great!"
I pumped my chest as if I"m proud she didn"t know then I said " I don"t know it as well!"
She looks at me with wide open eyes with her mouth agape, puuh… I seriously don"t know, I"m not that knowledgeable... I guess I"ll just tell everything I only know.
"my little sister, I know you think that your big brother is smart and kind but I also have my limitation." I crossed my arms and nodded as if I"m convince to the words I said.
Lyn, was just staring at me that her face looks like she saw something unbelievable... I"ll pretend I didn"t see that...
" a-anyway, light and dark are pretty rare attribute okay?" I said while my mouth is twitching" first, let"s talk about how to control your mana. "
I look at her closely, she was looking seriously good.... How the h.e.l.l should I explain this!?
" Lyn, I don"t know how to explain this " I said while making a problematic face" just try to understand It, I guess? ".
She firmly nodded, good." ehem, imagine yourself in a place where you can only see yourself, you can touch anything, as if you are into some kind of s.p.a.ce. "
She closed her eyes then concentrate... I hope she get it. No, I think she is a genius so she can learn it by herself.
"now then, imagine you hear a single drop of water, after that, that little drop of water touches the ground, now then, what did you see?"
"... Ocean..."
Wha!?
I nearly dropped my mouth, ocean? As in Ocean!? Wtf?
"o-okay Lyn... Times up..."
I touch my forehead; I don"t know if I explain it well but seriously? Did that work? Should I also do it later? Yeah, I"ll try...
"so, big brother, how come there was an ocean in my imagination..."
She didn"t know that she just goes through to her consciousness.... Should I tell her the truth? Yeah, I guess so, she needs to know this. She Had to.
"Lyn, you said that you saw an ocean, right?" I confirmed if it was true then she nodded... Okay" I see... That ocean your seeing is... Your mana... "
Lyn looked at me as if she didn"t care, I guess she didn"t know how large her mana is...
" in short Lyn.... You have a large amount of mana that at that age you surpa.s.s the... "
Pope, and closed to be a Saint...
I cut my words and shook my head
Lyn as if gets what I"m saying she nodded firmly but I"m worried she might get over confident...
" Lyn even if you have large amount of mana... Please don"t be so confident or be carefree..."
"I know brother I won"t be arrogant because I have large amount of mana..." she looks at me and smiled gently... Great... d.a.m.n cute...
"now then, imagine it in your body, mana is in your heart, try to put a little amount of mana into your shoulder. Then move it to your hands afterward."
In just a single day, in a first try... She manages to do it... My little sister is a genius... And she probably even surpa.s.ses the Saint...
" remember this Lyn, every person has its own attribute, there"s no one in this world who can used all the attributes okay?"
She nodded at me, well... There is one person and that is the saint...
"but, for me..."
"???"
"no, Nevermind"
I want to say that even if you are specialized in a single attribute doesn"t mean you can"t learn every attribute, if the heroine of this world manages to do it, then even an idiot person like me can used all the attribute. But I"ll revealed it later when she turns 12. Its only a theory and I still not sure but I have a feeling that as long as you have large amount of mana you will learn any attributes but it depends on yourself.
Don"t you think it"s foolish if you only specialized yourself in a single attribute? What if, that your enemy has a resistance to fire magic that you’re specializes in, like that... Then you are useless as a magician. But what if you can used at least 2-4 attributes... Then you have an advantage... Just try not to get caught...
It"s simple but I think it"s hard to do.
