《My Hermit Life》Chapter 16 ( Re-edit )
Advertisement
Sitting at the dining table inside of a certain cave inside of a certain forest is Solomon, Loretta, Aopara, and Locus. They were all just happily talking until Aopara brought up the subject Loretta and Solomon were both curious about.
" Alright kids now I am sure you are wondering why I brought Locus over right? "
"" Yes Master. ""
Both Solomon and Loretta answered in sync. Hearing them Aopara had a small smirk on his old, wrinkly, bearded face before he answered.
" The reason is because he is going to be teaching you Space Magic, and before you ask he is better than me at Space Magic although thats it. "
Locus who had just been listening suddenly spoke up with an indignant tone.
" Bull crap I am definitely better at body strength. "
" Still cant break my defence though. "
" You cant break mine either you old turtle. "
" I am a turtle and we can call it a tie you stupid garden snake. "
Both of the old Gods argued for a bit while Loretta and Solomon watched awkwardly. Eventually Locus ended the argument, to both of the kids relief.
" Alright kids how about we start lessons before I destroy your master. "
" Yes Elder. "
" Alright Loretta since you are already great with Space Magic I want you to practice meshing it with other magics alright. So tell me all your magics. "
" Yes elder
Space Magic - Max
Undead Word Magic - Advanced
Vacuum Magic - Intermediate
" Perfect I want you to make a seperate space and then erase it with Vacuum Magic, when you can accompolish that in 1 second find me again, or if you have any questions. "
" Yes Elder. "
Loretta nodded towards her master and her space magic teacher before walking off to her room to start practice.
After she left Locus started talking to Solomon.
" Alright Solomon first thing you should know about Space Magic is that there is no limit to what you can do with it. Alot of beings including Gods limit themselves with Space Magic. Here memorize the flow written here, after you do that find me when you can activate space magic in 1 second. "
" Yes Elder. "
Solomon nodded to the gods and then left for his room in a fashion similar to his wife. Though he was secretly holding in his excitement, because lets be honest who wouldnt want to learn Space Magic.
' Alright lets check out the skill book elder gave me. '
" Wow! "
' This is alot more complicated than regular Barrier Magic, although still easier than inlaying. This should be managable. Well no point thinking about or comparing them lets get to it. '
Solomon got to work practicing after his mental statement. The first thing he did was to lay down on his bed as laying down was the most comfortable position to stay in for hours. After he layed down and entered a meditative state he finally got to practicing the flow chart he was given

3 Hours Later
' Man this is harder than I thought it would be. I have so many combinations of Mana Veins that allow me to activate Space Magic its ridiculous. Though I am getting close to 4 seconds its going to be hard getting to 1 second. '
' Sigh ' No point complaining lets get back to training. I swear next time I get a day off I am going to go fishing or something easy. "
Solomon once again got into posistion before proceding with practice. This time though he planned to practice alot longer.
9 Hours Later
" Finally I can manage 1 second! Lets go find the Elder. "
" Hello Elder, I didnt expect to find you in the kitchen. "
" I just left yer masters alcohol bar figured I would get some food to go with this beer. So did you reach the 1 second mark? "
" Yes Elder. "
Locus shook his head in an up and down motion appreciating Solomons decent speed at reaching the goal he set. Of course he couldnt let Solomon get cocky so he through in a par along with his apreciation.
" Hhmmm not bad although your girlfriend was able to do that in only three hours. "
" Thats Loretta for ya she is talented yet works hard enough to make mortal miners wince. "
" Well that and her and her mothers race control space. Lorettas race is especially special as it litterally has realm in its name. "
" How does that have any correlation with Space Magic elder? "
" Names have a direct effect on the universe and Mana Solo. Thats why some gods will inheret their masters or ancestors names, or how your name is able to make surrounding Mana flucuate when it is said. Be careful when you name you child or pets or anything in the future Solomon. Plus if there is something like an element or object or even skill in a race name them that race will be extremely talented with whatever is mentioned. Like your race with tribulation lightning. "
" Yes Elder, thank you for your lessons. "
" Alright for your next excersise I want you to try hardening space enough to hold a feather and then a twig and then water all the way until you can hold a brick. If you have any questions come find me. "
" Yes Elder. "
Solomon once again went back to his room to continue practicing in the same montone manner. The largest deviation is that instead of a few hours of practice he spent a week. When he finally completed his assignment he ran into Loretta while trying to find elder Locus.
" Oh hey Loretta what are you doing? "
" I am trying to find Elder Locus inform him that I have accomplished the task he gave me. "

" Oh so formal. Well do you mind if I join you? "
" Nope, lets go. "
' Hmm should I talk to her, she seems to be in a bad mood. EEEHHHH screw it Ill just talk to her worst that can happen is some screaming. '
" Ssssooooo is something wrong Loretta, you seem to be in a bad mood. "
" Nothing Im fine. "
' There is definetly something wrong. Is it her period? Do centaurions get periods? I cant just ask her that can I. I hope we find the elder soon this is getting awkward. Oh there he is YYYYEEEEESSSSSS. '
"" Hello Elder. ""
" Oh hey Loretta, Solomon. Whats up? "
" We just wanted to inform you that we completed the tasks you have assigned us. "
" Perfect, Loretta you first show me your achievement. "
" Yes Elder. "
' Woah I wasnt expecting that, she straight up erased A 5x5x5 space in less than a second. This is wild looking there is nothing there, no dust, no light, nothing it looks light an infinite grey space in that tiny little area. '
" Back on my old world you would litterally melt a pot heads brain showing them this. "
" A. great job Loretta B. what is a pot head? "
' Hmm even Loretta looks interested in this. Well she does like when I talk about earth.'
Before explaining Solomon made his face pull the best ' Master Teaching Disciple ' face he could. Though he ended up looking like a douche bag.
" Alright so on earth there is this plant called by many names usually though it was called weed, marijuana, or pot in my country. Anyway people would take this plant and smoke it for a variety of reasons one being to get high instead or healing or well I dont know any other reasons, eh whatever. The people who use it only to get high and " feel good " are called potheads or hippies or stoner or reefer rat. Alot of people consider it a culture, though it depends who you ask. "
" Hhhmmmm thats kind of odd but neat. Did you ever smoke " weed " ? "
" Yes but mainly for insomnia after I left the war. "
Loretta seemed extremely nervous perhaps even worried hearing him say that. She couldnt help but confirm if he was serious.
" You were in a war? "
" Yep, lost both my legs. It sucked but now I am here with a great family and fiancee, plus both my legs and I am already far stronger than I ever would have been there. "
If she was worried before she was basically having a panic attack now. Especially when he so casually mentioned losing both of his legs.
" Solo, why did you never tell me? "
" I didnt think it was important. "
" How is you losing both your legs in a war not important? That is something you should tell me as your fiancee. "
At that point Loretta was starting to slightly freak out, just slightly. If slightly meant full blown yelling.
" UUUhhhh Ima just head out, your tasks are on this note seeya, good luck Solo. "
" Loretta youve been to war and I dont mind why are you so upset? "
" I was in a safe controlled enviroment I couldnt have lost a limb even if I wanted to. I am upset because you didnt think to even mention that you have been in such a dangerous situation. "
" We go hunting together all the time and that is dangerous. "
" Yeah keyword together and even then master is watching over us personally so it isnt that dangerous. "
" Loretta this war happened years ago on another planet besides even if we were together then I wouldnt want you to join me. "
" You just dont get it, ' Sigh ' , Im going to practice dont desturb me. "
' WHAT DID I DO? UGH Should I give her space, erm, Ima ask master, no wait hes a playboy he would probably screw me over. Hmm dad? No, he is probably worse than me plus I have no way of contacting him. I wish I could message mom, mom-in-law, or Deam. OOO I know I will leave her a note perfect. Lets write it then leave it in front of her door. '
Dear Loretta
Loretta in regards to our recent fight I would like to apoligize, even though I dont understand why you were upset what matters is that you were in fact upset. If you want to talk after you have finished practiceing then please find me if you are ready to talk. I am open for talking any time of the day or night. I hope you have had good practice.
Love Solomon
' Perfect, now to leave it in front of her door and practice while I wait. Elder gave me a pretty difficult task this time, I cant believe he wants me to go from holding a brick to manipulating feathers to look like a bird. Well whatever time to get to practice not like I have anything better to do. '
