In the kingdom of Parmece, in its capital, the temperatures were decreasing with the passing of the hours.

From the palace windows, you can see how the sun slowly begins to fade on the horizon.

As the sun disappears, the light from the candles gradually replaces the natural light.

In one of the rooms of the castle, the last rays of the sun were fading little by little, plunging the place into darkness.

Zack looked outside for a moment through the window and lit a candle so he could see around him.

In front of him, a feather floated gently in the air. Strangely, defying gravity, the feather did not fall to the ground.

Seeing the feather in front of him, Zack's tired eyes showed a trace of joy.

Magic Hand Level 1

After practicing all afternoon, Zack had learned his first spell.

Zack didn't do anything else, he just stared as the feather magically floated in front of him.

Until now, Zack thought that he was dreaming, that all this summoning and heroes were a dream, an illusion, something false from which Zack would wake up one day in his house and go to school as usual.

Right now, watching that feather float, Zack finally finished accepting his situation. He probably wouldn't come home, this is the reality of him now, and that he is a magician, a real magician.

Zack doesn't know why, but he started thinking about his family. Even though he tries to move on with his life, remembering the happy times he spent with them, he can't help but feel overwhelmed by sadness and loneliness.

(I wish they were here to see this) Zack thought.

Zack's parents were especially busy because of his work, but they still tried to find a time of day to be together.

It doesn't matter if it was watching a movie, or just having dinner together. Zack knew that his parents could be doing other things at the time, but they decided to spend it with him.

Remembering the faces of his parents, Zack's shoulders couldn't help but tremble for a moment.

Thinking about his life so far, his parents, the school, his classmates, the summoning, the nobles… In everything that is happening, Zack's eyes couldn't help but fill with tears.

That night Zack didn't meditate as usual, nor did he practice his new spell, he just sat, resting his head on his arms, watching the feather float in the air as he swayed slowly until he stood up. he fell asleep.

…

Zack woke up the next morning to the sound of knocking on his door as usual.

"Ugh"

Zack took a moment to realize where he was. The feather that he had floated yesterday was lying on the table as if he had never moved from there.

When he got up from the chair he was completely numb, and his body was stiff. This was obviously the result of not sleeping in the bed.

Even so, Zack felt lighter than ever, as if a great weight had been lifted from him.

When I get to the dining room, Austin and the others were talking animatedly, with smiles on their faces.

“Zack! Come here,” Austin said when he saw him enter.

"What are you talking about?" Zack asked though he had an idea what was making them so happy.

“We were just talking about what kind of spell he is going to teach us in the next class” Miyu said cheerfully.

Zack nodded. Exactly what he supposed.

At the end of yesterday's class on mana control, Albert told them that next week they would teach them his first spell. Although it was still several days away, Austin and the others couldn't help but fantasize about using magic.

"Maybe he teaches us how to throw fireballs?" Shun said as he imagined throwing Blas of fire at his enemies.

"Maybe he will teach the spell he used at the training ground?" Austin said, remembering the scene like it was yesterday.

"Ha! In your dreams!" Shun replied laughing at Austin's fantasies.

"What did you just say?!" Austin said angrily.

Zack also considered it unlikely that Albert would teach them that spell. Not to mention that it seemed too advanced. It's very likely that that spell had been modified by Albert for his own use.

The chance of Albert showing them a spell from his private collection is almost non-existent. Especially taking into account the obsession that the people of this world have with keeping knowledge for themselves.

Zack doesn't think for a second that the books in the lybrary are all the books available in the castle. It is very likely that each wizard has a spellbook that they do not share with anyone.

Breakfast finished quickly and Zack got up from his seat to go back to his room. He learned his first spell last night and wants to start practicing it as soon as possible.

Just when Zack was going to leave, Austin stopped him for a moment:

"Zack, in the afternoon we are going for a walk around the palace, would you like to come with us?"

“Thank you, but I was thinking of going to the library to finish reading the books on the list. You go and have fun"

After saying that, Zack turned around and went to the library to study a little more about magical theory, and practice his new spell for the afternoon.

Zack understands Austin's intentions, but he has no intention of doing that kind of thing. Otherwise, when he faces a real crisis and wishes he had trained more, it will already be too late.

…

"What do you think is wrong with him?" Miyu asked as he watched Zack's figure walking away.

Since the four of them were summoned to this world, Zack is the person who has had the least contact with the rest- Even before being summoned, none of the three knew Zack beyond being classmates.

To the rest of the group, Zack has always been a mystery.

"Does it matter? If he doesn't want to come to spend time with us, we're not going to force him” Austin replied, annoyed that Zack had turned down his invitation.

"Austin is right. We can't force someone to be with us if he doesn't want to” Shun told Miyu after hearing Austin's reply while he got up from the seat.

Shun told Miyu after hearing Austin's reply while he got up from the seat.

"Let's go"

"Hey. He thought we were going to go exploring after we practiced mana control” said Miyu, confused by Shun's words.

"It doesn't matter. We can practice later. To be honest, I'm sick of spending so much time cooped up in here. We need to relax a bit” Austin supported Shun after seeing that he wanted to explore right now.

"Easy for you to say. You are the least studied of all of us. All you do is try to spy on the knights' training” Shun said while mocking him.

"Be quiet! What I do doesn't matter to you!" Austin yelled in embarrassment.

Ignoring Austin and Shun fighting, Miyu thought about it for a moment and concluded that what they said made sense. These last few weeks have been very stressful, everyone needed to relax a bit.

"Ok, let's go"

"That's the attitude!" Austin said as he walked towards the exit of the building.

As the three of them walked through the halls, they could sometimes see other wizards in robes, going from one place to another in a hurry, completely ignoring them.

The existence of the heroes is no longer news to the inhabitants of the magic tower. When they first came here, the other wizards were always watching them like they were circus animals. Now, except for the maids who follow them everywhere, no one pays them the slightest attention.

Miyu and the others tried to talk to the maids, but except for respectfully replying to any questions you have, the maids don't communicate with them. In fact, no one in the building speaks to them except Albert. It's as if they were forbidden to talk to them.

When Austin and the others reached the gardens the three of them were silent for a moment.

“Wow” Austin said, and Miyu was in complete agreement.

The gardens were spectacular; plants that they have never seen before are perfectly positioned in the perfect place to admire them in all their splendor.

It is as if the garden has been blessed by magical spirits.

The three teenagers walked through the palace gardens, admiring the beauty of the place.

The sun shines overhead in the clear sky, and a soft breeze caressed the leaves making them move to its rhythm.

It's a magic place.

Suddenly, Miyu and the others heard a voice in the distance. Curious they decided to approach to find out who it was.

The closer they got, the better they could identify the voice. The voice was not speaking, it was singing.

The three of them stopped in front of an ornamental fountain spouting crystal clear water surrounded by stone benches.

Sitting on one of those benches was a beautiful girl in a pretty dress, singing a beautiful melody.

Suddenly, the voice stopped, and the person who was singing looked at them.

Austin and the others thought the girl was angry for interrupting her. The girl looked at them for a few moments, and a smile began to light up her face.

"Good morning. Can I help you with something?"
