Chapter 2 : Realization
Shin4arcane groaning from the mental pain. After getting transformed into a thread or probably from transportation.
Shin4arcane (Thoughts): *Ah... what just... Everything is blurry... not too dark, just blurry... The fuck happen? Did I-*
Shin4arcane sees a figure infront of him, a very blurry figure of a person. An echo coming from the blurry figure.
???: "#ey... he#...."
Shin4arcane (Thoughts): *Is somebody there? Am I in a deep dark? Heh... sounds like Minecra-*
???: "WAKE UP JERGEN!"
The voice has become more clear that it can ring the ear drum. Jergen body jolted from the sudden wake up call. And thanks to that Jergen vision has become more clear, and sees a man just shouted is just on the opposite table sitting while holding a piece of paper on his right hand. Also Jergen just notice he's also sitting on a chair.
The man infront of Jergen is a half Human and half Orc, the Half-man/orc skin tone is mostly Human than an Orc, the features of an Orc is still there like his teeth. The Half-man/orc is wearing a Currant red Victorian suit with golden vine design shoulder to waist. He looks around 35s. The half-man spoke in a professional tone.
???: "Good you're awake. We have finished your verification to become a student of the Collector Academy."
The Half-man/orc puts the peace of paper on Jergen side of the table, the piece paper has a seal on bottom right with a design of a crystal material being held by a hand.
???: "Just pour your mana in this contract paper and you're good to go to the Collector Academy."
Jergen (Thoughts): *woah... An half Orc... Hold on, the collector Academy...* Eye's wide open *shit...*
Jergen breathes in and breathes out.
Jergen: "How do I pour my mana in the contract paper?" Casually asked the Half-man/orc infront of him.
The half-man/orc look at Jergen with suspiciously of asking how to pour his mana on the contract paper.
???: "... You're already a strange Elf, first no family name, second suddenly sleep in the middle of verification, and now you don't know how to pour mana on a contract paper..."
Jergen (Thought): *CRAP I JUST ASK WITHOUT THINKING! but again I really don't know how to use mana but... I'M SCREWED!" Jergen is panicking from the inside but calm from the outside.
The Half-man/orc sigh in defeat. Thinking in his thought.
??? (Thought): *Well not all folk's know how to pour mana. but an elf is a bit... Nevermind we do need more Legal Collectors in the field.*
He then turns to his left to show him an example by putting his hand on the air.
???: "Just put your arm on the paper close enough, it can be direct contact or few inches away from the paper. Then imagine pushing the water from inside your forearm then flow it to the palm. You can noticed it by feeling the flow of the mana or small blue sparkle flouting around your arm."
The Half-man/orc look back at Jergen. Still speak in professional tone.
???: "Got that?"
Jergen look at the Half-man/orc still calm from the outside but mostly confused from the inside. He spoke in a appreciated tone.
Jergen: "Yeah got it."
Jergen extended his hand towards the contract paper close enough about 2 inches away, he breathes in and breathes out.
Jergen (Thought): *Let's calm down, we can get excited later about using mana for the first time...*
Jergen close his eye and breaths normally.
Jergen (Thought): *What did he say again? Pushing the water out of my arm... Alright hope this works.*
Jergen imagine himself pushing the water from inside his forearm first then through the palm. A small blue sparkle started to form around Jergen forearm down to his palm, another one appear and another one until it's like a bunch of stars gliding around Jergen whole arm.
Jergen still close his eye and he now notice the flow coming out of his arm, it feels tingle it doesn't feel like it drains him.
Jergen (Thought): *HOLLY FANTASY!* He push the thought away *no focus first.*
As Jergen focus trying to pour his mana on the contract paper, a radiant light slowly appear on his palm towards the paper, and the written ink on the paper glows even the seal on the bottom right, then it slowly stop glowing. Jergen still continue pouring his mana on the paper.
The Half-man/orc notice Jergen still continues, he is still speaking in professional tone.
???: "That's enough Jergen."
Jergen open his eye in response and noticed the blue sparkle gliding around his arm slowly disappear as he lose focus, and the radiant light also disappeare but much more quicker.
Jergen (Thought): *Fuck that was awesome... So that's mana.*
The Half-man/orc spoke.
???: "Now you can go to the academy and hand the paper to the gatekeeper, no need to worry about signature they can identify who's the owner of the contract paper by using mana identification device."
Jergen takes the paper and stand up, and noticed he got a waist pack bag on his left side, he fold the paper into four fold and puts it in his bag, he stands up and look at the Half-man/orc. Still has a calm expression. He spoke in well mannered tone.
Jergen: "Thank you for letting me know that... Sir?"
Half-man/orc response.
???: "Fregor G. Latnin."
Jergen response immediately.
Jergen: "Sir Fregor. I thank you again."
Jergen gives a light nod to Fregor, walks towards the door.
Fregor suddenly spoke.
Fregor: "Do you know where's the Collector Academy?"
With Fregor right eyebrow raise slightly.
Jergen turn around slowly and nod bit of embarrass expression, he cough a bit.
Jergen: "Ah... Yes..."
Fregor sigh a bit, and pull out a scroll map under his desk, he unrolls it on the table, Fregor points their current location and then the Collector Academy location.
Fregor: "Here is our current location and here's where you will have to go, just go straight to the west where the sun set."
Jergen nod trying to remember all the details of the map. He then walks towards the door.
Jergen: "thanks again Sir Fregor. I'll be off then."
Jergen smile lightly and bid farewell as he open the door. Jergen got out of the room and close the door lightly.
After that Jergen sigh in relief and all his thoughts he was able to use mana for the first time in his life. With a wide grin on his face.
Jergen (Thought): *THAT WAS WEIRDLY AWESOME! He's right I can feel the flow of mana, and the small blue sparkle flouting aswell! It's beautiful! Haha! That was amazi-*
Jergen suddenly look around if anyone is around just in case, but there's no one there.
Jergen (Thought): *Huh... I guess I was the last one in the line...*
Jergen begin to reflect on the knowledge he gain from the situation ever since he woke up.he begin to walks down the hallway, as he keeps on thinking.
Jergen (Thought): *alright first we already know we got isekai. Second my name is Jergen but no family name apparently...*
Jergen begin to rub his chin like a detective. But then his thoughts became worry instead of curiosity.
Jergen (Thought): *Third the Collector Academy... Great... I got transported into The world of CRYNOLIE.*
Jergen begin to panic.
Jergen (Thought) : *ALL THE GAMEPLAY IS JUST CLICKING MOUSE AND SPAM SKILL! AND I'M JUST A CASUAL PLAYER! I AIN'T EVEN A PRO PLAYER!*
He stop walking and begin to looks up at the ceiling, and a single tear goes down to his face, with a small reflection from the light.
Jergen: "I am cooked..."
