Chapter 12 - Pyrokinesis

Aim, Orobas, and I came to a little field nearby. There was no way I was going to practice fire magic in my room. By the way, both of them are in a spirit state, or in other words, in a spirit body. That's why the others can only see me. I asked Aim if it was possible to use magic while in spirit form, and he said it was no problem.

"I'll show you my magic first, human."

As usual, it was the cat on Aim's right hand that spoke.

Aim touched a nearby tree with his left hand, the head of the snake. At the same time, a magic circle appeared in the air. The tree burst into flames.

"Oh!"

The use of magic with no chanting. He was able to do with ease what is considered difficult even for a skilled sorcerer. I guess he is a demon after all.

"Gwahaha, how beautiful it is when things burn!"

Aim laughed in amusement at the burning tree. Maybe demons are all weird or crazy ...... But I don't think I could do it at all if I was asked to do the same thing as Aim.

"Aim, how can I do the same for you?" "Well, ....... Speaking of which, human. Can't you do pyrokinesis like most sorcerers do?" "No I can't, it seems that I have a nature that spirits don't like, so I can't handle their power well." "It's no wonder the spirits don't like you when you're radiating that much evil spirit."

Evil spirits? I don't remember letting something like that go.

"My pyrokinesis is fundamentally different from the kind of magic that most wizards use." "Is that so?" "I've heard that humans borrow the power of spirits lurking in the air to perform magic, but in my case, I myself have taken on the nature of a fire spirit."

I see. I've heard that before. Normally, spirits are so small that they are invisible to the eye, but in rare cases, advanced-level spirits are said to be as big as a person. I wonder if Aim is a demon, but also an advanced fire spirit.

"But then I wouldn't be able to use pyrokinesis, would I?"

It's impossible for me to take on the nature of a fire spirit myself like Aim does.

"No, that's not true." "What?" "Human, have you ever heard of a seance?" "I do, but......"

A seance is when you take the spirit of a dead person and place it in your body....... What does that have to do with this?

"I'll put my own spirit in your body." "Oh, I see."

I see. If I put the spirit of Aim into my body, I will inevitably take on the nature of a fire spirit.

"But don't try to take in all of me though, because I'll end up taking over your ego. One tenth, or even one hundredth, of my spirit is enough." "But I've never done a séance before." "Then I'll do it myself this time."

Aim then pointed the head of the snake in his left hand at my body. At that moment, something flew out of the snake's mouth and into my body.

"Ugh......."

A hot foreign object ran through my body. I couldn't help but let out a groan.

"Aim! You didn't do anything bad to the Master right!" "Orobas, shut up and watch. Your master is not going to be killed by this."

My body is burning. calm down myself. You have to control the flow of magic. Close your eyes, grasp the foreign objects inside you and gather them in one place.

"So, you've made it yours."

A mark appeared on the back of my left hand.

"What the......?" "It's a Sigil. It's a kind of proof that you've inherited my power."

The sigil was a geometric pattern floating in a circle like a coat of arms.

"So now I have pyrokinesis?" "Yes, you should be able to do it by manipulating the magic contained within the sigil." 　 I closed my eyes and imagined that I could conjure up the fire magic in the sigil.

“burn, --Ensend."

Instantly, a red magic circle appeared in the air above the back of my left hand. At the same time, a mass of fire appeared for a moment with a poof.

"I've done it......."

After 14 years of not being able to do it, I finally did it.

"I did it.......!"

I'm so happy, I can't help but cry.

"'Congratulations! Mastaahhh!"

Orobas congratulated me, too.

I've done it, I've done it, I've done it......! I bit down hard, hard, hard, so that I would never forget this feeling.
