6 tiring days later, Sam's mind was still in disarray on what crystal to choose. One part of him thinks it would be amazing to shoot fire from the tips of his fingers. Another part of him wants to use earth to his advantage summoning rock towers that reach as far as the sky and as down as hell. When he thought about the nature crystal Sam was in disgusted.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in " Isonorai gently opened the door and sat next to Sam on his bed. Which made Sam have some lewd thoughts, Isonorai took a glance at Sam's blushing face and notice that he may be having some lewd thoughts about her.
"You better not be thinking of any vulgar things Sam." Said a calm Isonorai.
"No Mam." Sam's mind immediately took a 180 turn and wondered if she was he about the crystals or something else perhaps.
"Have you decided what crystal your going to choose yet?" Asked Isonorai .
Sam's brain was put into overdrive at that moment, he was thinking faster than any computer in his previous life for a brief second and came to a conclusion.
"It was tough to decided but, I choose the fire crystal." Sam's face in that moment was more relaxing than it has the past 6 day's.
"What crystal again." Asked a seemingly Shocked Isonorai. Which made Sam think he didn't say it clear enough so he said it again.
"I CHOOSE THE FIRE CRYSTAL." Shouted Sam. That made Isonorai more bewildered and shocked at what he said. Did I say something wrong I don't understand.
Sam was about to say it again when Isonorai stopped him.
"Sorry it's just that people don't usually pick the fire crystal, cause it's either to difficult and hard to learn or their terrified by the name."
" only a select few people have ever managed to use fire magic in this day and age. " Said Isonorai.
" So judging from that shocked expression your having I'm guessing that fire magic is extremely rare? " Asked Sam. Which got him thinking on what magic is rare and what isn't.
" People that I've tutored have always choose earth or nature magic since its quite easier and simple to use, some of them have even gone on to merge earth and nature magic into one. " Said Isonorai.
" But it's rare that happens but not as rare as fire magic, why am I telling a 5 year old boy about merging types of magic. " " Listen you don't need to know about merging magic until you hit sovereign rank. " Said A still bewildered Isonorai.
Sam was about to ask about ranks, when Isonorai put one of her fingers on Sam's lip to stop him from asking. She got up and was heading for the door.
"Training starts after lunch tomorrow so you better be ready." Isonorai and then left room.
Sam is a bold child for picking fire magic but I'm worried that he won't be able to use it and die like that one boy. Who was bold for picking it but he didn't make it and died two week's after training started.
Her stunning eyes were showing small tears forming, so she wiped them away and prayed that Sam would pass the difficult phase.
Why is she so shocked, I wonder if it's cause I'm her type, Wait what am I saying she's not into me i'm still a child for God's sake. Does she think I'm a creep is that why she's shocked I'm done for in training tomorrow.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
It was safe to say that Sam was panicking for his own safety in training tomorrow, he soon went to bed terrified of the torture that awaits him. That's what he thought anyway.
In reality Isonorai was trying to find ways for Sam not to die when attempting to use fire magic, she stayed up most of the night just to completely forgot about it when she tried to remember why she was so worried.
She passed out while thinking while sitting down in her quite fashionable desk!
Minutes before training the next day!
Sam was thinking back to yesterday, and wondered if picking the fire crystal was the best option. I mean it does sound cool and somewhat menacing but. Isonorai face was in a shocked expression but I notice hints of worry in her eyes.
Is fire magic that hard to use,what would happen if I don't control the magic. Will it burst of could it explode like a bomb, actually I hope it doesn't explode like a bomb. No matter how much you grow your own body conquer your weaknesses and fears hone your mind.
The human body can't handle a bomb explosion let alone a nuclear explosion. A few may get lucky and live to tell the tale. Other's may die or mutate from the impact. If we could all handle a nuclear explosion we'd be gods by now but no were not gods we're humans and I'm proud to be human and everyone else should to.
That's what make us human after all.
Isonorai called Sam down from his room, telling him to get ready for training.
"I'm feeling exited for training I can already feel me being a master fire user." Said Sam Excitedly.
"But that's not what I want, I want to be the god of shadow's who lurks in the darkness and strikes he's enemy's with my almighty undead army." Said Sam.
" if I'm strong enough I could challenge other shadow magic user's who got reincarnated or given a second chance in other world's. " Said A Mischievous Sam.
He made his way down the stairs through a darkish hallway and then the door to the outside world full of wonders. But Sam wasn't thinking of wonders but instead his mind was in turmoil as memories from his previous life flood back in his head for a second before vanishing completely.
" For today's lesson it's quite simple, we need to find out if you can actually handle the fire magic and not collapse straight away. " Said Isonoria.
" But first put this fire crystal inside your brain. " Said Isonorai.
Knowing what to do he gently pressed the crystal on his forehead and letting it sink in slowly until it was fully in. Sam's head was throbbing badly in pain and he started to shaking violently to the point where he was on the floor curled up like a ball.
Isonorai quickly rushed to his side trying to ease the pain that he was feeling and started to hold his hand.
It lasted for a short while, before the pain subsided away and he was back to normal physically but he was mentally drained from the pain, but decided to continue on with the lesson since he didn't want to miss this golden opportunity.
Seeing that he recovered from the pain and wanted to learn she realised she had no choice but to teach him. She let go of his hand thinking about how warm but cold they feel. Meanwhile Sam was back to having some questionable thoughts but fought of the urge.
"Since you can handle the first stage, we're going to do the second stage but this is where most people fail and either loose their minds get mental trauma of die." Said A Worried Isonorai hoping that Sam would change his mind but he had a determined look in his eyes.
Leaving Isonorai with no choice but to simply comply with Sam's determination.
" We're starting of small with a simple small flame. " Said Isonorai.
Right I just got to image a small flame how hard could that be. I could wait and listen to find out what the incantation is or I could just imagine it.
Sam took a deep breath, put his hand out and started focusing to get an imagine of a small flame inside his mind. He struggled to visualisied the flame at first but as he relaxed his body more and more. The more he could feel the magic throughout his body rushing to his hands like a river down a mountain.
Feeling the surge rushing to his palm he finally got a clear visual of the flame. He opened his eyes. And look astonished that their was a small flame scorching on his palm. His mana continued to deplete and a steady pace.
How is that Sam can hold his flame for so long it's been 10 seconds already usually people last around 2 to 3 seconds but he's holding up like it's nothing, who is he exactly he is no beginner rank that's for sure.
Sam managed to hold his flame for 3 more seconds before his mana was depleted and he lost all strength to stand. The light in his eyes vanished and all turned to black.
I'm I dying again no I can't, just as was getting used to this world! I won't let it end like this. I've got thing's to accomplished, I wanted to be the Shadow God. Sam fully collapsed.
