《The Summon》Chapter 35 - Magic
Advertisement
Jonathan sighed.
For multiple hours, at least he thought it was multiple hours, the Archmage had driven him to try and control his magic the normal way.
He just was not able to do that, he slowly began to think. It was just plain impossible to do what Tablos said.
Yes, he had certainly only the best intentions, but he did not seem to understand the problems that plagued Jonathan. He also could see that Elise was slowly but certainly getting bored with the charade.
Tablos seemed to be oblivious of this.
He tried and failed, Tablos gave both of them a short pause, no more than a minute or two, and then called them to begin again.
He tried it, he really did, but he just could not manage it.
Then, suddenly, the Archmage sighed and told them: “This is not working. Normally I would say that is completely fine and normal, because, to be honest, it is. Elise, how long did you need to manage to call your magic?”
Elise thought for a moment and answered then: “I think it was around two weeks, maybe a bit more?”
“Yes, and that is pretty much the average time needed. But the problem is that normally you could already see evidence of slight fluctuations in the magic, which are completely absent, even in the few tries that Jonathan did without you, Elise. This is worrying on multiple levels, especially because we know that Jonathan does possess magic and is able to channel it, even more so, to guide it, which is far more difficult. So what is going on?”
Jonathan, while finding the conversation interesting and happy that finally, something was happening, tuned out and looked in himself at his magic, again.
He could feel it, see it, even if in a strange way, as well as try to grab it, but something was resisting when he was doing that. Could he force through that resistance?

He tried. It was hard, but he managed to get a small sliver of magic under his control, after what seemed like an eternity.
He then lost promptly control of that sliver of magic again, but not because of the resistance, but instead because of something far simpler.
He had used so much force that was the best word for it that he could not hold that tiny sliver of magic and it catapulted itself away from him.
The result was explosive. Luckily for everyone in the room, Heinrich Tablos realized what happened in the blink of an eye and managed to contain the blast in a shield.
Then he began to shout: “What in the name of whatever gods exist did you do right now, and more importantly, how did you do it?!”
Jonathan answered meekly: “I realized that there was a resistance to my attempts at controlling the magic, so I tried to overpower it. It worked, but the force I used flung the magic out from me, and then it exploded. No idea why, but I also do not know anything about magic, so that is not a surprise.”, he looked to the side were Elise sat, or should have sat: “Hey, Tablos, what is with Elise, do you know why she lies on the ground, seemingly without movement?”
Tablos swore and went to feel Elise’s pulse.
He exhaled a breath of relief. She was only unconscious.
What had happened to her, he asked himself silently.
He was sure that he managed to contain the blast completely.

This story is on hiatus/abandonned. People die, then that's all... or at least, it should be that way. There may be anomalies, yes – the occasional hero of old getting reincarnated for some obscure purpose – but who knows what the gods are thinking. If they are thinking at all. If there are gods, to begin with. What would explain such a mistake, then? The hero mark wasn't given to our reborn champion, but to his perfectly normal sister. A prank from these mindless gods, perhaps. Luckily for him, he was done with this hero business and had other plans for his new life, so it's all good... Here is the story of one who isn't meant to stand among heroes, kings and emperors anymore, yet will find himself holding power over them.

Going through the journey of wrecking the capitalist society and surviving a zombie apocalypse as well as discovering the ancient secrets to cultivation, journeying through the various different worlds and saving humanity along the way..... Just for fun. Current schedule : 3 chapters per week: actually it's gonna be a bit more as I plan to release a chapter on the even days of the month. Meaning usually there will be 3 chapters a week, there will be weeks with 4 chapters. Anyway it's just easier that way to set the timer for the chapter releases Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction and any characters or events that might resemble something in reality is a coincidence that's weirder than krillen beating jiren. Have fun
