《Metamorphosis》Afterwards
Advertisement
I tiredly open my eyes and see myself in a red-stripes room, I rub my eyes trying to remember how I ended up in my room.
I get flashbacks of when I threw that sphere of fire. I turn around and look at the room.
I slept with my mom and dad and perhaps this room could be my bedroom? I feel happy that I can have a room for myself, I get up on my tiny feet and suddenly fall on my knees.
"Ugh..."
"I feel like my body got electrized," I say, trying to get up.
Getting closer to it I open it and take some clothes that are fitting perfectly.
I grip the cold handle of the door and open it, taken by curiosity I go to the room I burnt and see that it was intact as if nothing ever happened.
"How... How did you do that?"
A voice that is familiar to me says, I turn my head and see Aria looking at me completely doubtful.
While looking at her surprised that she would even ask me something like that I respond, "I just imagined creating a sphere of fire."
"C-can you teach me how to do it...?" she asks with all of her face red.
I watch her with a dumbfounded face.
*My sister that was annoyed by me now asks me with an expression like this, that she wants to learn from me.*
"It's not hard, just concentrate on your surroundings and Imagine that various particles are around you and concentrate them in a sphere."
"Huh? Particles?" she says curiously. Just when I was explaining to her how to see them somebody calls my name.
"Lisa!"My father and mother ran up to me haphazardly.
They talked at the same time and I didn't understand what they meant then they looked each other in the eyes.

My mother and father asked me if I was fine, my body didn't hurt that much.
Then my father asked me, "How did you cast a spell?" with curiosity.
I responded, "I just had seen various particles and I grouped them and then it had the form of a sphere and I imagined it was fire."
"You didn't say anything while you were casting the spell?" my father said.
"No, I just decided that it needed to be a sphere of fire."
After some moments, my mother and father celebrated.
"W-what?" I say while looking at them for celebrating like this now.
My father responded happily, "You're a rare case, Lissa. Normally children like you don't even know how to read but you can actually read and cast spells, casting spells without saying aloud the incantation, it's actually achievable after various training."
*So children that learn about magic and have my age in this world it's rare.*
I try to imagine again a sphere.
Particles appeared around me and then I started grouping them and making a sphere.
Suddenly a fireball was in my hand, this time I was trying to control it, while my family was watching me panicking.
"W-wait!" my mother and father said together.
It does not end how I wanted...
Luckily my father blocked the sphere.
They sigh out of relief
My mom says," Next time practice outside." smiling anxiously.
I relax for days before returning to practice and learning more about spells.
This time, though, I'm outside. Practicing in a field full of green grass was better than doing it inside the house, of course...
I cross my legs and start meditating, again, many particles are around me and I start to group the particles, I make again a fireball and this time I concentrate more on holding the particles attached to my hand, still I couldn't do it and threw the fireball.

*The book said something about mana, mana was in the ambient and... In the body!"
I regain my position and start to group the particles, and this time I decided to emit mana from my hand, the air around my hand became distorted and the particles grouped there, now I created a fireball, and this time it didn't fly away.
"Yay!!" I jump with joy.
Then I realize what losing concentration means...
"Oops..." I said while the fireball flew and crashed into a wall of the house.
Various maids hastily launched water to turn off the fire
*Wait... Water? How can they create water?"
I mean, they create it with mana but how could I do it?
I start to center on the particles again and try to imagine making fall water from my hand, letting the particles fluid and not group them...
Water was falling from my hand, I was watching it surprised, it was really easy for me to learn, it's thanks to my previous life though.
Various children like my sister can't even use mana or sense it, I understand why my dad called me a rare case.
I read various books that explained various things about this world, other than humans, there are beastkin persons, vampires, elfs, and even dragons.
In this world, there are even various creatures that you can find in dungeons and on the surface too.
About mana, I read that one person can use some types of elemental magic, so for example between fire, water, earth, and light somebody could have 1 or 2 of these elements, some rare cases 3.
I actually tested my mana already, I know how to use water and fire.
I spent weeks training my mastery of fireballs and water.
Until one day I was concentrating on using all the mana I had for doing a bigger fireball, I threw a fireball that destroyed a big part of the garden... My family was not happy with this, but a part of them were happy that somehow I had this capacity on using mana.
One day I was trying to use two different types of elements at the same time.
In my left-hand water and my right-hand fire, it was still too hard for me, I needed to move the particles in two ways instead of two.
