Chapter 130 - Sophinea Seara

They failed a few times. The mana did not obey easily, but meanwhile, its reaction changed a little for once. It was a difference that only Azriel could tell as she could see mana. She, soon, realized where the cause for the difference was. Then. “Sophie, can you do it again?”

Sophinea nodded silently. The girl was too exhausted to even open her mouth.

“We’ll do it the same way, and this time,” Azriel hesitated for a moment and said with an assuring tone not to worry the girl. “Call it with mana in your mouth.”

“…?”

“Like this… No,” Azriel paused. Sophinea could not see mana. She would not be able to repeat Azriel even if she showed it. Azriel thought for a short while and touched the girl’s mouth. “Just a second, don’t be surprised.”

Azriel assigned gravitation to her mana that she collected in her hands. Sophinea’s internal mana that was drawn to Azriel’s mana gathered around Sophinea’s mouth.

“…!”

“Arranging the mana this way… Well, call its name, Sophinea,” Azriel said.

Sophinea felt that something was different. She enunciated it as if she was belching out a fire from her mouth. “Se-a-ra.”

When she said the spell, she felt a shudder. It was a feeling of her mana responding to her call. It was her first time feeling such a sensation, and magic was invoked. A small whirlwind was formed before Sophinea’s hand which was holding Azriel’s hand. The mana that used to spread everywhere was focused only on that whirlwind. Sophinea widened her eyes and looked at the wind that was gusting only in front of her. Her hair fluttered and covered her sight. It was the first magic that Sophinea invoked at her will.

“You did it!” Azriel shouted.

Sophinea heard a joyful voice ringing around her ears. She vacantly looked up at Azriel.

“You did it! Goodness, you succeeded! Look, Sophie! It’s magic you invoked! Congratulations!” Azriel continued.

The sparkling golden eyes that were looking at the whirlwind looked down at Sophinea. The girl finally realized that her mana just turned to magic. Sophinea lost strength in her body and kept wavering. Azriel held her up. Because she lost strength, her mana, which had been forming a small whirlwind, scattered. Blue moss that were freed from the gusting wind fell like snow.

“It was hard, wasn’t it? You did a good job,” Azriel roughly pushed back her messed-up hair and roughly brushed Sophinea’s hair with her hand as well. “Say anything, Sophie.”

“What? What should I… say…,” Sophinea paused and looked down at her body. The mana that ran out whenever she opened her mouth thrashed but remained within her body, even though Azriel was not suppressing it. Sophinea’s face looked surprised as if she could not believe it. Azriel said, brushing off bluish moss all over the girl’s hair. “It doesn’t run out, but doesn’t calm down right away either. But it’ll get better after some training.”

“Some, training? What, kind of, training?” Sophie asked.

“A training to use magic like what we did just now. Let’s keep trying to use your magic with the spell ‘Seara’. If you try a little more, you’ll be able to do it by yourself even if I don’t help you.”

“I, can, use, magic, myself?”

“You just succeeded, didn’t you? Now, all you have to do is to repeat that and get used to it.”

“…!”

“When you get completely used to it, you won’t have trouble because of randomly invoked magic anymore. You’ll be able to use the magic you want whenever you want to.”

Sophinea’s lips moved. Realizing what Azriel meant, her face was slowly filled with hope. Her pale became full of color and blushed. The girl tearfully stuttered. “Th, then, I’m not, a, name-less, wizard, or disaster, or patient, anymore…”

“Yes. You are no longer a nameless wizard now,” Azriel smiled brightly. “Congratulations on becoming a wizard, Sophinea Seara.”
