《Questioning the Basic》Chapter 2: First day in Lab

"Electrica...Conductiv..no..no..Reverse Enchanting? Perhaps?" Vin muttered continuously to himself. He faced rather prevalent difficulties in applying his theory. The bane of most researchers;
Technicalities
He sighed. Inward. Understanding the reality doesn't equal mastery of the reality itself. If that were the case, Newton could collapse the whole continent by just reversing the gravity, and Einstein could create nuclear bomb only by chanting E=mc^2. And that were plainly impossible. For a good reason.
He needs something... or perhaps.. someone? Who were capable of magic more than him, and willing to help for, let's say, limited compensation. Someone who desperate enough, always trying to sell his service, and seldom to have a willing buyer.
Hmm...
Ah.
Demon.
Yes, yes, that's true. Their kind were shunned due to mortal tendency to favor the good faction instead the evil faction. The latter offer hell-damned afterlife, though, so their choice were somehow justified. Anyway, I only need a little magical catalyst. A little unimportant demon. The kind the hell would not quarrel about if it's mistreated. Some imp perhaps, they would be less demanding, right?

[p=center]Summoning the Should-Not-Be-Summoned for Beginner[/p][p=left]Yes, honored reader, this book were about summoning Devil, Demon, and the like you probably knew about. Why the title you may ask? Unfortunately using the title such as "The secret of the Dark Art" and "Demonic Tome" rendering our print to be refused in any children-friendly bookstore and prohibited in almost all library in the whole continent. By naming this book with euphemised title like "Summoning the Should-Not-Be-Summoned for Beginner" we could pass this book as those dark-brooding Novelette (with a little nudge of descriptive romanticism), targeted at those desperate teenager (which were our market target) who hates the whole world for no apparent reason. And since any respectable librarian would not give a peek for books that they claim as not real literature (But need to be put in the shelf anyway), we could easily pass this book to your nearest bookstore!! (We also put a spell in this book, so whoever read it and not the one who really willing to summon would be presented with that mentioned reading!) We have vampires![/p]

[p=left]Yes we aware that you people were a selfish bunch, and love exclusivity about your art. But, our sponsor, namely; evil god, were also god and GOD need mortal to worship them. Less mortal less power. Means we'll always lose to those Good-Goody Two Shoes. Simple as that.[/p]
"...."
[p=center]How to Summon: Basic Imp-01[/p][p=left]Imp were a small lesser goblin. Mischievous rather than pure evil (great for beginner!). Imp have rather small magical prowess, but quite apt in the lesser spell of conjuration, illusion, and even lesser evocation. First-timer recommended to summon imp. They only need 100 mL of your blood to survive (not banished) for a week![/p]
[p=left]Summoning imp were easy. Draw a reversed star in a piece of paper with the blood as ink, and chant this incantation; Under the blood-strengthen Contract, I summon thee from the hell itself, Come to my assistance. O little child of darkness!"[/p]
"Erm.. There's something wrong.Summoning should not be that simple. Contracted evil were...lawful and they followed their contract to the letter. But they love loopholes...."
"Ah! The book never said the imp will obey me! He perhaps would cause chaos the instant it summoned, and I'm too weak too control him. What to do.. What to do.."
"Well I have ten golds from sir Piri, how about.."
[p=center]****[/p]
"Miss Acolyte.."
The mentioned acolyte surprised by the sudden greetings. She look around and found no one, after five ghastly seconds (and three where she start to questioning her sanity), she immediately realized an elf child were tugging her robe.
Embarrassed, she hurriedly reply. "Sorry boy. don't see you down there."
"Now, how could I help you?" said the acolyte smiling.
"Umm... could you give me a little bit holy water, miss?"

Perplexed. The Acolyte look the boy carefully, he's an elf, that obvious, with short stature of 9-10 years old human children (but elves life longer than human, still children were children). His attire showed that he were those freedmen that sent by Gaia. She doesn't really mind, giving the boy holy water. But the problems were even though she joined the order six month ago she often still failed to create the holy water (she could only do it three times a day!). sometimes she considered if being acolyte of Freya were right choice for her. She loves to help. But. it seems that she's not capable. It would be bad to failed in front of this boy. Adult should be seen as a successful person who could solve anything! Else, how children could depend on them?
"Why you need holy water, boy?"
"My current home (laboratory), threatened by evil! (I intend to summon imp) I live alone (just got here) and... could not afford exorcism..(I can't perform it) , my caretaker not available this week. (Sir Piri in the library) .But it's said holy water could repel the evil! (Which is true) I just need a little bit miss!(Which is also true)" said Vin, spouting the weasel word the best he could.
"Ah, you should speak with the priest about that, boy. But yes... he charge a lot.. And your caretaker gone this week? Well.. wait a minute." muttered the acolyte as she took the canteen that the boy eagerly given to her. She walked to the fountain and fill it full.
Please Freya! Let it work!!
"With her grace. With her compassion. With her benevolence. "
"Standing here is your servant."
"Asking for Blessing. Upon the flask of earthly bound. To be purified, To be sanctified."
"Vitae."
"Aqua."
"Sancti."
A shimmering white light glow around the canteen. Brightly. Brighter than any holy water spell, she had ever cast.
You successfully created Holy water
Acolyte were servant of Goddess, but herself must also remember that she also the servant of the people. With great power comes great responsibility to help those born with the inherent misfortune. By creating holy water as a selfless act to help the elf child with conviction of the heart, Freya had decided that you passed the ordaining test. Holy water now were Intermediate Lv.01
[p=center]Holy Water (Intermediate Lv.01)[/p][p=left]Create Holy water. Holy water were water that possessed light property and function as paramount ingredient in higher level blessing performed by the priest of good church. Holy water also capable to damage and repel evil raced monster. In intermediate level, you able to create holy water five times a day (maximal volume per creation = 1.5 L)[/p]
Go to Church of Freya and speak with Priestess Williamna
Shocked. The acolyte were stunned for few seconds, before Vin tug her robe again.
"Sorry, boy I were..distracted. Here."
"Thank you!! Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce my self, how rude of me!! My name Vin, and who are you miss?"
"My name Lillian, Vin. You don't need to call me miss! Just call me Lillian. okay!"
"Oh, okay, thank you Lillian!" said Vin, running toward the market.
"Bye Vin!!" shout Lillian.
"And thank you." mutter Lillian, walking toward the east church. Finally.

8 180Prerequisites for Greatness (RWBY)
Jaune always knew that being a hero meant going on adventures, sometimes very far from home. He just hadn't thought he would start so early, or so far. Sadly he wasn't high level enough to learn teleportation, nor did life have an easily accessible mount option. His own two legs and an occasional donkey would have to do. Medieval setting; gamer Jaune. You don't need to know anything about the RWBY universe to read this.
