Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her

Chapter 47 Spells (1)

After what happened, Veer had some lingering fear so he didn't immediately start practicing Primordial Arcane Forge again. His body was also aching so he decided to rest for some time before starting it again.

'I can't recklessly practice it. I am a protagonist but I don't have plot armour. This shit would destroy me from inside out.'

Although Veer cursed, he couldn't deny the benefits he was receiving from his Mana Circulation Technique. He could feel the minor changes in his body, and they remained him of the things he could achieve through Primordial Arcane Forge.

Clenching his fist, he noticed how his grip strength had increased and when he punched, the blow around air was also different.

'Just two Mana Veins did this...what will happen when I complete the cycle,' Veer grew excited at the thought, as the urge to start practicing again grew stronger.

However, he suppressed it. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't as that would just break his body. Everything needed a balance, after all.

'I should focus on spells for now,' Veer's eyes shone in a flashing glint, as the wide smile on his face showed his mood. He felt like a child discovering new things.

He didn't start immediately, as he first took a nice bath which cooled down his brain and made his whole body relaxed. Only after that, he felt like he was ready for practice.

"Hmm, which one should I try first?" Veer closed his eyes and muttered, as he remembered the four spells he had chosen from the class.

"Let's try firebolt first!" Veer smiled and tried to remember every detail about the spell. The information came crashing into his mind, but it didn't cause any pain as it was a part of his memories already.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the ceiling. His mind replaying everything in his mind, "So, the whole spell is depending on the Magic circle. As long as I manage to make it, I'll be able to cast the Spell. Pretty convenient."

Just to not get confused later on, he took out paper and pen, and drew the Magic Circle on it. With every stroke he engraved the circle on it, Veer grew more confused about it.

After finishing it, Veer gave it a long look and considered the things he had noticed in the Magic circle and spell as a whole. He wanted to dig deep in Magic and find everything about it, so this was just the first step.

'This is a F-Rank Spell so we only need to make a single circle for it,' Veer remembered the information of spell, looking at the Magic circle. 'And inside this circle, we need to carve Runes.'

Runes were something he had wanted to study for a long time, but they weren't available to public. Using Runes without have proper knowledge about them could be very dangerous, after all.

And considering how his life was, it was already a miracle his family allowed him in library, let alone allow the study on Runes. So, he was clueless as a baby on Runes.

However, from what he knew from the public knowledge, Runes were characters of an Ancient Language and they resonated with the world in various ways. Every single Rune had it's importance and depending on how it's used, it could produce phenomenal results.

For example, the Firebolt Spell he was trying to cast. It required him to make a Magic circle containing a total of six Runes, of which two were same.

He would be able to cast the Spells easily as long as he learns to make the Magic circle, however he wanted much more from it.

"Spells are tools, huh," Veer muttered, as he looked at the Runes on his paper, each being unfamiliar to him.

As his gaze was still fixated on the Magic circle, he noticed something. With startled look on his face, he brought the paper close to his face and looked at the Runes deeply.

"The hell!??" Veer exclaimed, as he noticed how the Runes were fading away from the paper. In just a matter of time, right before his eyes, all the runes vanished, leaving a blank paper with only a circle on it.

"So, Runes can't be made on things, or I'm just too weak for that," Veer muttered, but he already knew the answer. This Magic world he lived on was running on Runic Machines, so it wasn't that Rune couldn't be carved on a surface.

Thinking of that, he remembered that the school computer from which he had taken the spells from, "It must be a high grade Runic Machine."

He shook his head and focused on the problem in hand. The Runes weren't the only problem one needed to face while drawing Magic Circle. It was the Mana control and capacity required to do it.

After all, unlike warriors, Mages needed to have a higher Mana control due to the fact that they needed to draw Magic circles. And for that, they would need to bring their Mana out of their body and try to make the Magic circle, which wasn't an easy task.

Only now Veer understood why F-Rank spells were for mostly Beginner Stage as most people only get enough Mana control after forming a Mana Core.

'At first glance, the power system of this world looks so easy and simple but the more I explore it, the more complex and confusing it is becoming,' Veer rubbed his chin, as he tossed the paper back in his storage ring.

He memorized the Magic circle one more time and got into his meditative mode. Only then, he felt he was ready to try his first ever spell.

'First, bring your Mana to your fingertips,' Veer guided his Mana through the Mana Veins towards his right hand's index finger. It was very easy for him since his Mana control was just getting better each time he practiced Primordial Arcane Forge.

"Using your finger as a pen and your fingertip as the tip on pen, draw the Magic circle before you."

Veer followed the instructions and let his mana out of his fingertip. Instantly, he was overwhelmed by a magnitude of greatness. It was as if he was a small river finally merging in the mighty ocean.

It was an oppressive feeling and he couldn't keep his Mana in place, as it rebounded back to him.

"Fuck!! I need to find the damn bastard who said using Magic is easy. Just cast magic and boom my ass!"
