《Master of All Trades》Breakfast Part 2
Advertisement
Once breakfast was over the children would help out with the cleaning of the meal they had just eaten. The older ones would first help the younger ones out of their seats to then clean their faces or any mess they made. They would then organize the plates in piles that were stacked high, to only be carried in their small arms to the washroom. There they would also help with the cleaning of said plates and once finished had to start their morning lessons.
In the church of Inmari, their teachings would be taught in the morning as a sign of respect to the god that blesses the early stages of life. The children learn the meaning behind a passage in the book of the church and are required to memorize the teachings that they learn. Even the youngest among them could remember a dozen passages with ease. Some would repeat the words of their god with pride while others with simple indignation.
Raphael was one of the few that felt completely neutral to the aspect of a god. He gave no meaning or thought to the words he memorized and would only mindlessly spit them back out when it was requested. To him, the idea of a god was no longer an idea that hung on faith but was something that could be proven with the world he inhabited. He wanted to first understand why he was reincarnated, and why only a few memories of his past self had survived the journey to this new world.
It was the most prominent question that clung to the sides of his head day in and night out. After the morning lessons would be free time, where he could spend most of his time with leisure, but he would rather practice the little he knew. He found it more productive to be outside in a secluded area to practice the magic he knew instead of being stuck in the stiffness of his room that he shared with the rest.

With deep breaths, Raphael sat near a small pond, inhaling the chilly air. The sound of the surrounding wildlife was more soothing than annoying to the young boy as he felt it helped in understanding the power he is trying to master. As far as he knew there were several different types of magic in this world. From the limited books that were related to the church, only the most basic of magic books were available.
From them, Rapheal concluded that there were a total of six 'elements' that could be manipulated by the will of the user. The first four are fire, water, earth, and wind, which have simple meanings that can be found in the world around. However, there were the light and dark elements that were shrouded in mystery and a nature that attracted the two.
"Water bullet." So Raphael continued on with his practice, with the element he felt the easiest to manipulate thus far. He had read that adding names to spells would make it easier to focus on specific details that would bring about the proper result. As of now, every four out of ten water bullets would come out successful. He did not try anything new because he desired to master at least one spell to prove his worth, even though it was only to himself.
"Come on!" His frustration grew as with each passing spell his accuracy would deviate further from the intended target. With heavy pants, he sat down with sweat dripping from his forehead, so in order to calm himself, he sat cross-legged and began to take in deep breaths once more. Without his knowledge of what he was doing, Raphael entered a meditative state where his emotions that restricted him became nothing less than a memory. His frustration began to lose its meaning while his affinity with water grew.

The beads of water began to move from his head and began to follow the path that swirled around his head. It formed a small river that fed into itself but compared to before, Raphael would soon realize his mistake.
Owoooooooo! The howling of an animal echoed through the small forest. "Agghh." Shortly after screams of people followed the ear screeching howl. Raphael was thrown out of his mediation and soon worry grew on his face, but for some unknown reason, his feet began to move towards the terrifying sounds that would have sent any child running. But, Raphael wasn't a child, he did not know what he was but he felt that a piece of the puzzle was clicking into place.

A world where he is considered an impossible mage - and where he becomes ridiculously powerful quickly. Though he's happy for the adventures he can go on and the friends he makes, Reid also wants to find out how he got there and why, and if there's a way to return home to his parents. Reid's priorities in this new world are learning magic, going on a few adventures, dealing with his feelings for the cute wolfkin Terrence Windfang, and seek an audience with the gods. All but one of them, he finds, is significantly easier than he expected. This is a participant in the [April 2022 Royal Road Writathon Challenge]. The story is also concluded as of 4/26/2022. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP guy doing OP guy things. There will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure. 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story. Ever. 5) This story will not contain sexual content as it will end after Book 1. As such, Reid and his future boyfriend will never reach 18+ years of age in-story, so they will never have sex in the story. There will also be no harem in this story. 6) This is a part of the Royal Road April 2022 Writathon Challenge. 7) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
