Chapter 8 - How to use magic

There he was once again out in the fields, only about fifteen feet away from a lone slime. It slowly made its way about as Rion continued plotting in the corner. He looked to his "wand" that he'd been using before and every now and then whipped it forward shouting out things like, fire! Water! Wind! But nothing was worked.

Weirdly enough whenever a spell failed he felt weirdly satisfied, ignoring that however he continued on until the sun began to set beneath the mountains in the distance and Rion's arm was sore.

"Hah, maybe I shoulda picked warrior or something, then atleast it'd be the simple matter of hitting something with a sword instead of whatever the hell I'm doing now." Rion said in between his heavy breaths.

He then thought back to the girl he bumped into in the guild. Lie is what he remembered from her name. His mind wandered to the rod on her hip and a thought slipped from his lips. "What if I ask her to help me."

"Nahhh she seemed busy…"

Rion then thought some more before sitting up, "Oh maybe the library has a book on how to use magic!"

Rion then got to his feet and ran back into town where he made his way over to the library.

Once he entered an old man sitting at the front desk looked up to him, "Welcome, the library's closing in about 30 minutes but until then take your time."

"I see, thank you" Rion said, he then went to pass the old man but stopped and asked.

"Do you have any books on Magic?"

The old man smiled, "In the back."

---

Rion began to pursue the shelves in the back finding various books on magic.

"Basic magic study of the four elements."

"Spells to train your pet"

"Intermiate healing spells"

"Spells to season your food"

There seemed to be everything but what Rion was searching for (not that he necessarily knew what he was searching for).

That was until he found a book which read. "A beginners guide to magic"

"Yes!" Rion exclaimed before covering his mouth to be quiet.

He then opened up the book and began to flip through the pages until he found what he was searching for, the title of the chapter was:

"How to use Magic."

It went on to read "Magic and spells go hand in hand however you must know they are different, to use a spell you must funnel magic into something weather that be a rod, or wand, or even your hands…" As an example it showed pictures of each, the rod looked familiar.

"Now you may then ask, how do I even funnel magic through my body? Well it's simple, you simply must go through the magic awakening procedure with a seasoned Mage who is informative on the process…."

Rion continued to read, getting more and more disappointed by the word.

"Until you get this procedure done there is no way to use magic unless being already born with the ability which about 80% of mages are not. And even then the procedure may fail regardless, if that's the case you likely are unable to use magic period….

Rion read the last line out loud, "And should probably give up…."

Rion let out a deep sigh, Where the heck am I going to find a mage to do the procedure, and what if it fails! Rion thought to himself.

"Um Mr. Leighn what's wrong?"

Hearing this Rion turned his head to the right where he saw a familiar girl standing in front of him, it was none other than Lie…

Rion then looked to her staff one last time

(And thus Rion's adventure continues)
