《The folly of a failed magician》Chapter 15 - Visiting Sylvia's house
Advertisement
After the first practice, of the team still in formation, in which Riana is now, the daily life of the members continued naturally but with more workload by having an extra schedule to practice, which for now consisted of 2 hours of practice on Mondays and Tuesdays after school until 6 in the afternoon and several hours even without planning on Saturdays.
And for Riana added to this new load, she also had a tutoring schedule for Gray, which, fortunately, in the end, was kept simple, taking the hours from 2:40 to 4 in the afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 1: 45 and 4:10 to 6 in the afternoon.
But even with this sum of work, I did not bother Riana as much, if not the contrary, this moved her because more and more she is learning more and getting stronger because of this, which was something very necessary for her goal.
Although like anyone, the difficulty of the road sometimes made her flank and wonder why not abandon everything, as she would later in the morning next Saturday, while she was lying in the grass of the courtyard of a luxurious mansion surrounded by several trees and vines here and there.
"Oh, what did I do to deserve this, I would have refused and continued practicing alone" Riana lamented in her mind.
"Let's get up, there is still noon, and we can't afford to wait for Arthur's missing person," Sylvia said, a little annoyed looking at Riana on the floor.
"Ahh have mercy, everything hurts," said Riana in pain.
"Come on, if we're just having a simple hand-to-hand combat, with some magic reinforcement."
"Simple? You seem to want to kill me!"
"It's your imagination. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be bothering my ears anymore."

"Your..."
"If you're so angry come and take it out, little reindeer."
"you will.., you're going to see," Riana said, then stopped and continued the fight, until she literally couldn't get up from the fatigue.
"I think it will be everything for you today, I honestly thought that you could hold on being a beast, but it seems that I was wrong," Sylvia said, looking at her from above with a superior look.
"No ..., because ..., be ..., beastly ..., I'm exempt from neglecting my body..." Riana said between cuts due to her tiredness.
"It seems, well, it is almost time for lunch, when you can stop, go inside," Sylvia said without further ado and then start walking inside her mansion.
"Hey, wait," Riana said before she left.
"Yes? What is it? If it's to help you, forget it," Sylvia said, stopping after listening to her.
"Tell me something, I really have potential for this and I'm not here just because you like Arthur."
"Your ... Afff, look, I wouldn't have accepted you if you didn't have potential, be clear about that, and you're lying on the floor because you're disgusting fighting, but luckily, learning to fight and gain resistance is something that you can achieve before the tournament ..., or at least enough." Sylvia said before she left without leaving Riana alone in her thoughts.
[What a bad way to cheer me up…, but he is right, I am disgusting fighting…, at least for now, and if I can with this, the combination of this with my arrangements will be great, hahahahaha ] Riana end up laughing at her future.
"Ahh and to all this, what happened to Arthur? ..., why does he not arrive ?, if only he answered the phone" Riana worried about Arthur.
And so with this unknown and other thoughts, the time advanced 2 hours in which, Riana was finished demonstrating Sylvia again her body arrangement.

"And then ... you're happy, I've already formed and disintegrated it 3 times," Riana complained.
—Yes, I know, I just wanted to see if seeing how you do it, I could think of something to make you do it faster, umm I know, why don't you print everything at once?
"It had already occurred to me, they have even been in the books, but in the end, it became a bit impossible."
"Why?."
"Simple, my mind and my control, does not give me to form the arrangement."
"Well, practice, or perhaps you think sorcerers, don't suffer from that when they cast a high-level spell."
"I've tried it, trying first with simple arrangements, but as they get more complicated, my memory and control give way entirely."
"I just listen, blah, blah, blah, excuses, look, at everything you can with due practice, and our mind gives for that, so from now on, you're going to get to work on that technique, understand?
"Yes, I understand ... but," Riana said without much encouragement, remembering the headache caused by the overexertion of her mind, in imagining such an arrangement and controlling her mana to try to make it work.
"Without buts, put to practice and you will see that I am right, in addition, without you do not do it, I swear that although Arthur asks for mercy, I will kick you out of the team by vague and without resolution and not by useless; It is understood?.
"Yes ..." Riana agreed a little sad about the future headache she would have.
"Well, then what are you waiting for, start at once."
"Uju...."
And so with this decision poor Riana, began to resume from the beginning the printing practice that some time ago she had left long ago. On the other hand, Sylvia, since the arrangements were not in her area, she had no choice but to practice her sorcery alone for a while.
But the practice of both did not last long, since a butler came out of the mansion, towards Sylvia to explain that some visitors had come asking for her, so Sylvia, surprised, went inside the mansion to see what happens.
"Umm, who will it be? Maybe it's Arthur ..., no, no, no, if it were Arthur, he would come alone and the butler spoke in plural" Riana thought curiously who the visit would be, while practicing alone.
But these thoughts were answered minutes later when she noticed that 3 people were coming out of the mansion to where she was, who were no more than Sylvia who had a bad face, the missing Arthur at her side, who brought as always a carefree face, and finally, the third who was the one who surprised Riana the most, was none other than Maria Greenlief, who had a tender face of concern.
So when the 3 of them got to that Riana, Sylvia a bit crabby explained.
"Little reindeer, this is Maria Greenlief and she will be our new member."

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.
