At the same time, in another student’s room, Ryn’s friends were wondering where she was while talking about the previous events. Two girls and one boy were still a little lost about the afternoon tests.
A girl with blue hair was still shaking. “Where is Ryn?”
While one blonde girl examined her hand, trying to figure out how Seya shot all of that magic. "The last time I saw her, she was running after that kid that beat up the Knight Teacher."
The blue-haired girl looked at her friends, questioning them. “What was that, actually? The RabbitKind Teacher was truly afraid that he could kill the Knight Teacher. And that kid was so fast that when I realized, he was already slapping the Teacher!”
The boy still had his eyes sparkling, since he saw Seya’s test. “And did you see his Magic? He shot it and everything was like, ‘Buummm!!!’”
The blonde girl nodded in agreement. “I didn’t hear any chanting at that time. I have never heard of anyone being able to do that. And the Princess kept on calling him big brother?"
The girl with blue hair was still wondering what happened. “And he was arguing with the Princess! Really, who was that kid?”
And at the same time, in the yard, there was a person very unsatisfied with the events that had all the students amazed. The School’s janitor was looking at all the destruction. “What happened here? Why are there so many holes on the ground where I placed those new targets? Was there some Wild Beast that rampaged over here? And no one stopped it? Am I supposed to clean this all up, close the holes, plant new grass, and place new targets? And tomorrow morning there will be practice here. I am supposed to have all this fixed overnight? This School was so peaceful until now. What happened this year?”
In Seya’s room, the Princess was looking surprised at him, while still grabbing his arm. “Why do you want a quiet school life? That’s so boring!”
“I didn’t want to attract too much attention. I just wanted to make some new friends, see other people’s Magic, and get new ideas for some of my projects.”
“You mean, steal some Magics.”
Ryn Mycym frowned. “Steal Magics? What do you mean, Princess?”
“One little thing this guy does. When he sees someone using Magic, he can understand how it’s done and immediately after, use it like it was the most natural thing in the World!”
“That’s impossible!”
“You better don’t say that around, big brother. When he hears someone saying it’s difficult or impossible, he doesn’t rest until he achieves it. Most of the time, it seems effortless. Oh, I remembered one thing! Big brother, did you bring those fighting dolls you made for me some time ago?”
Ryn was smiling. She always loved dolls, ever since she was little. “Fighting dolls? What are those?”
Seya yelled, annoyed. “Action figures! I told you many times, those are action figures!”
“For me, they are fighting dolls! Ryn, those things are amazing! Big brother put some strange Magic on them, and you can make them fight!”
“What? I want to see that! Oh, do you mind if I go call my friends? If they found out that I am here hanging out with the Princess and seeing new Magic without them, they will be angry with me!”
“I want to meet them too! I have an idea. Why don’t we all go? That way, I can walk around the corridors and see everyone terrified and kneeling in front of me! Ahahahah!”
Ryn was clapping her hands. “That would be so funny!”
Seya was poking the forehead of the Princess with his finger. “Maybe it would be better if you were more serious. People are not used to seeing you as a loose cannon, always fooling around. They will probably not know how to react!”
“I have always been serious and have been acting as a perfect Princess every day! The only times that I could fool around or be myself was when I was alone or with you! I want to have fun when at School!”
Seya shrugged his shoulders. It was no use. “I see. I understand. Let’s all go with Ryn. Go wild, Princess, scare everyone! Heheheheh!”
While they were walking down the corridors and following the Princess, they couldn’t help but feel amazed. The same funny girl from moments ago was just politely waving at everyone that recognized her and kneeled. And while they were kneeling, she would always look at Seya with a triumphant look, as if to show that she could act like a proper Princess if she wanted to. Every time she did that, Seya shook his head, and the two new friends laughed at the situation.
When they reached the door that Ryn Mycym showed, she suddenly opened it while screaming. “I am back!”
Hina jumped. “Arghhhh! Ryn, you scared me! Why do you always do that instead of knocking?”
“Because this way is funnier, of course! I brought some friends. Do you mind if they come in?”
Hina was still holding her chest after that scare. “No problem, but I don’t have many chairs.”
Seya entered the room, right after Ryn. “That’s not a problem.”
The boy pointed at Seya. “Oh, you are that kid that beat up the Knight Teacher!”
Ryn introduced him with a big smile, “Yes, he is Seya Hinamoto. He has more names, but I haven’t memorized them yet. Sorry! This blonde boy is Zak Holstrem, and of course, this cute little girl!”
“The Princess!”
“Yes, all of you kneel before the great me!! Ahahahah!”
Ryn laughed as she noticed the Princess resuming her joker persona.”Ahahahah! Princess, don’t say that, or they will be afraid of you!”
“Oops, sorry. Please get up and don’t kneel before me while at School, okay? I was just joking. It seems my big brother over here will be known everywhere as the one who beat a Knight Teacher! Ahahahah!”
“I had no choice! He insulted my Master!”
“Yeah right, and then you are going to say that you knocked him down with your Magical ears by accident! Oh, and you also blew up all the targets by accident!”
“The targets were your fault! You didn’t stop asking for a good show!”
“And why do you always do what I ask?”
“Because you are my cute Little Sister!”
“Ahahahah!”
Ryn’s friends were speechless! Hearing that crazy talk was like hearing two siblings bickering! And one of them was the Royal Princess! Ryn was happily smiling. “Seems like your conversation baffled everyone! Don’t worry you guys. It seems these two have this kind of relationship. Now everyone, introductions, and state your Magics, please!”
“I am Myra Calcym, daughter of the Administrator Calcym and I use Water Magic.”
“I am John West. My grandfather was a Marquess of the Empire until he disagreed with the Emperor and was expelled. I can use Light Magic, and I am also good with Healing Magic.”
“I am Hina Motoama, the daughter of a Director of the Mycym Merchants Association and I use Wind Magic.”
The Princess was smiling and looking completely out of place! She was just looking at one particular boy while mumbling. “… Cute… so cute… Seya, can I have this boy? Pleaaaseee!!!”
“What are you talking about? He’s not a pet!”
“But he can be! I will treat him very well! I will put a small cushion near my bed! We can play all day. I will cuddle him and give him a lot of snacks!”
The young boy looked scared. “Princess?”
Seya poked the Princess’s forehead again. “Don’t mind her, she’s just messing with you. That was a very nasty thing to do, Princess.”
“I am sorry, cute boy, I was just joking... Or was I? Eheheheh!”
Ryn was looking at the Princess, surprised. “Scary... Moving on! Where was I… Oh, the Princess uses a very powerful Fire Magic and Zak Holstrem over here uses Wind and Earth. And Seya, well, you all saw what he did to those targets.”
Hina was always amazed by Magic. And having someone next to her that used all the Attributes during the previous test, was too exciting! “Yes, how did you do that? You can use all Attributes? How is that possible?”
“The Goddess gave it to me. And I practiced my Magic Control every day. Eventually, the amount of Magic that I could use increased because of that.”
“So, you are saying that if we practice Magic Control, we can all increase our Magic? I have never heard anything like that!”
The Princess nodded her head. “And I am the proof that it works. My Magic was at the same level as Zak’s over here, but now I can defeat most of the Royal Mages. I started doing that training five years ago when Seya started teaching me. But big brother was lucky too; he inherited Magic Attributes from his mother and father.”
Seya explained. “I guess no one does it because the increase is slow. You must do it every day, for several hours straight, or a little each day. It will surely increase, eventually.”
“Big brother, enough talk. Let’s play! Seats for everyone, and take out the fighting dolls! Oops, action figures!”
Following that order, Seya used his Magic to make seats out of wood. They came up, growing from the floor, like flowers. He even made a throne for the Princess, with wood and fluffy vines interlinked. “Okay...There! Chairs for everyone. And a throne for the Princess, of course!”
As a Water user, Myra loved to see flowers and plants growing. But wooden chairs growing from the floor? “Was that Earth Magic? How did you make such perfect chairs without even a chant?”
The Princess smiled, seated at her throne. “Chanting for using Magic is not really necessary. I learned that with big brother over here. But I still like to say the name of my Magic when I cast it, except when I fight. During a fight, surprising your opponent becomes easier. The Royal Mages always lose against me because of that.”
“And if the chairs surprised you, my next Magic will make you faint.”
Saying that, Seya opened his Compressed Dimension, making everyone speechless. Except for the Princess, who was used to that, and a very curious Myra Calcym, with her eyes wide open. “That’s a Light Magic circle? And Dark Magic inside? What’s that?”
“That’s my Compressed Dimension Magic. I use it to store things. And I can easily take out what I put in there.”
Hina lost it completely. “That’s amazing! A Merchant would love to use something like that! How much can you put in there? How long can it stay inside it? Can you teach me that Magic?”
“I don’t know what the limit is, but it’s a lot. And the things that I place inside stay there until I take them out. You need to use a little of Light Magic and a little of Dark Magic. Or a lot of Dark Magic. My mother and father can do this, but they need to work together. My mother uses Light Magic and my father can use a little of Dark Magic.”
“Oh, it would be nice if at least a purse or a bag existed that could do that!”
Hearing that, Seya started mumbling while thinking about Hina’s words. One could almost hear the gears turning in his head! “A purse or a bag... Light Magic to contain the Dark Magic... a person without Magic could use it…"
“We lost him. When he stops like that and just mumbles, eventually he creates something amazing. Hey Seya!”
The Princess stepped down from her throne and approached Seya.
“Fire slap!”
“Ouch! What?”
“You were completely lost in your own thoughts!”
“I am very sorry, but Hina gave me an idea. It may take a while, but I think it’s possible.”
Hina Motoama had her eyes wide open. “Really? It would be very good if you could make something like that! A Merchant could use it on his travels, or mothers when they go to the Market.”
Seya shrouded his shoulders. “And the Military would just love something like that. I don’t know if that’s a good thing.”
The Princess seated again while saying, “Even something innocent like Light Magic can be used by the Military, but the people benefit a lot from Light Magic. Enough serious talk, let’s fight with the fighting dolls!”
“Okay, where did I put it? It’s somewhere inside… Ah, here. Two fighters and two control boxes.”
Seya placed on the ground two figures and two boxes with a joystick and six buttons. None of them ever saw anything like that. Except for the Princess, that was one thing they never even heard of! Actually, something like that shouldn’t exist in that World because Seya made it by following his Earth memories.
Ryn Mycym was staring, marveling at the details on those dolls. “What are those? They are pretty!”
“These are just two figures, each fifty centimetres tall, made with wood using Earth Magic. One is coated in sheep's wool and resembles a RabbitKind and the other one is dressed like an Adventurer. Actually, my father and father Sully Denar’an were the models.”
“And these boxes with this handle and these six strange round things?”
“That’s a control box. If you move the handle, the figure moves. If you press these six buttons, they grab, kick, punch, s***h, attack, or defend. These action figures are armed with small wooden swords. Maybe it’s better if we demonstrate.”
