Chapter 158 Casting Magic



Emma and I exited the mansion and made our way to an open area outside the mansion gates.

Well since everything in this alternate dimension was open, we just chose a random location that Emma liked and went there.

We saw no trace of Anna, Chris, or Mia along the way, but I did receive a message from Anna through the contact system that they were checking out the rooms in the mansion and that I shouldn\'t bother about them.

Unfortunately, I was never bothered to begin with.

As I was thinking about these things and other random thoughts in my head, Emma and I arrived at our destination, and Emma spoke right away.

"All right then, this place\'s great," she said as she turned to face me.

"Ace, what do you know about magic, mana, and spells?" she asked, skipping the pages of a thick big book that had been in her hand since we left the master bedroom and the mansion.

Without being told, I knew this was the neutral spell grimoire.

As I considered this, I opened my mouth to respond to Emma\'s question. Emma could somewhat be considered my teacher since the forest before we encountered the foggy forest, as she occasionally gave me tips and explained some things about magic.

"Magic is the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces, while mana is a supernatural force or power, and spells are a spoken word or form of words held to have magical power, I guess," Emma said before speaking.

"That\'s really much it", she said and added; "you must have really thought about these things".

Hearing this, I just gave Emma a blank stare as a thought occurred to me.

\'While you all slept like logs, I had to be a watchman for the nights that passed so I didn\'t die sleeping.\'

Emma\'s lips twitched as I thought this, due to my stare.

Perhaps because she couldn\'t take it any longer, Emma shifted her gaze away from me and turned to face her back to me before speaking.

"While everything you said about these things is correct, why don\'t you practice what you say?" Emma asked as I noticed her skipping through the pages of the grimoire again, as if she was looking for something, but my mind was elsewhere, on something else. That\'s what she said.

\'What does she mean I don\'t practice what I say?\' I wondered as I asked Emma a question as the wind blew our clothes in different directions.

"What do you mean I don\'t do what I say?" I inquired as Emma turned to face me and spoke.

"I said that because it appears you want to practice magic, but I\'ve never seen you cast a spell before," she said, her brown eyes staring at me.

I responded after hearing what she said.

"If you\'re talking about that, it doesn\'t work for me," I said as Emma spoke up.

"What isn\'t working for you?" She asked this with her head tilted to the left.

"The spells, they don\'t work no matter how many times I say them like you do but use my own element name," I said as Emma\'s face turned strange.

When I saw this, I knew it was because of something I had just said, so I spoke up and addressed Emma.

"What\'s the matter?" I inquired as Emma responded by staring at me.

"Nothing," she said, then abruptly added, "Why don\'t you try and cast a spell for me?" When I heard Emma\'s sudden request, I was about to refuse because it was pointless since I couldn\'t seem to cast a spell, but as I was about to say this, I stopped and thought Emma was just saying this because she wanted to show me something next with the Neutral Spell grimoire since she had only talked about spells up to this point.

As I considered this, I began to circulate mana in my body in preparation for casting a spell.

Because all of my previous attempts had failed, I already knew the outcome of this one and was only attempting it again at Emma\'s request.

I\'ve never been able to successfully cast a spell despite always following the steps Emma shows whenever she casts a spell. If I could cast a spell, I wouldn\'t have to manipulate my mana to replicate magic attacks like the one Emma makes as a model, but instead could cast a spell with a few words and have my magic attacks made in a flash.

This was also why she was sometimes able to create her attacks faster than I could.

As I considered this, I circulated the mana in my body as I did what I had always wanted to do when casting a spell: chant.

"Fire Magic: \'Fire Spear\'"

After this, I still had a small thought that something would happen, but even after a few seconds of waiting, nothing happened as I suddenly felt the wind become a little cold when I noticed Emma staring at me intently.

I was about to say something when Emma burst out laughing.

I was perplexed by the sudden action, and just as I was about to ask what had happened, Emma spoke up.

"W-what did you just do there?" Emma inquired between laughs.

Seeing this, and while I was still perplexed as to why she was laughing, I responded and spoke.

"I was attempting to cast a spell," I explained as Emma spoke up again.

Her laughter had already subsided by this point.

"You were attempting to cast a spell with only a few words?" Emma asked, her face puzzled.

"But isn\'t that what you do with spells?" I inquired as Emma who had heard made a face plam before speaking softly.

"No wonder you couldn\'t cast a spell", she said and added; "Your understanding regarding casting spell is really flawed".

Hearing this, I didn\'t bother responding and just nodded my head because I knew whatever Emma was going to explain next was going to be related to Spell and magic, so I listened to Emma as she spoke.
