The World Serpent

In the Outskirts of the Inquisition Settlement. The Breeze of Wind passed through the Heavens carrying the White Fluffy Clouds and passed through the Earth rustling the Leaves. The Golden Bright Sun was rising from the East as its Sunlight illuminated the World. It was Early in the Morning as the training for the Stage 3 Magic Training Regiment Began. Only Three Crescents managed to reached Stage 3 as most Crescents are still learning about controlling their Mana.

Three Young Girls were training the Spell Casting of Magic for the First Time. They formed Spell Circles in the Air only for them to break like thin glass. Each Spell Circles had a unique color on them as one had a Dark Violet Spell Circle, another had an Ocean Blue Spell Circle, and the last one had Red Amber Spell Circle. They were trying to cast a simple empty spell, and it seems that casting it was hard for them. Such occurrence was expected as it was their first time forming a Spell Circle.

"Tsk, No matter what I do. Why does my Spell Circle always break?" Marx said in annoyance as she formed the Red Amber Spell Circle once again. No matter how much they concentrated in the Spell Circle. The Spell Circle would always break as if it had no resistance against anything. Capita, who stood right beside Marx, shook her head in disappointment after seeing her Ocean Blue Spell Circle break. She then spoke with a calm voice with a tinge of irritation. "It is a bit annoying."

While the two were forming their Spell Circle. Luna focused on her Dark Violet Spell Circle. She took a deep breath and ignored everything around her as she willed the Mana to formed the Empty Spell Circle. 'Concentrate and Control the Mana.' Luna thought to herself as the Dark Violet Spell Circle formed on the Air. It created itself and began floating in front of Luna. Seconds passed as Luna sighed in relief, only for it to break once again.

*Sigh...*

Luna sighed after seeing her Spell Circle break apart. She didn't know if it was because of her Lack of Focus, which made her lower her guard down or something else. She looked around and saw her Two Best Friends working hard on their Spell Circle, only to break once again. She could see the irritated looked on their face, which made her chuckle. While looking around, Luna could see Ego staring at them with the same Neutral Expression as always.

"Lord Ego, Can you please give us an example for the Empty Spell Casting?" Luna said with a respective tone as she slightly bowed towards Ego. Ego looked at them and nodded as she replied with her monotone voice. "There is no need to bow. Ask me normally as I am your Teacher." Ego then began forming the Empty Spell Circle in an Instant. The Color of the Spell Circle was Dark Ashen which made it cool for the Young Girls.

"Lord Ego must have a high mastery over Magic, to instantly cast it without any problems." Capita was amazed and spoke with a voice that had a tinge of awe. Ego, hearing her words, couldn't help but chuckle as she shook her head and spoke with a monotone voice. "This isn't a High Mastery over Magic. This is just a Basic Mastery over it." The Young Girls realized that they heavily underestimated Magic and thought of it as something simple as casting a spell, then boom, Profit.

"Can you give as an example of the High Mastery!?" Marx asked with an excited tone. She wanted to see the High Mastery over magic as Marx wanted to paint an Image of her Goal. Ego thought about it and saw the Young Girls staring at her with hopeful eyes. She shook her head and answered with a nod. "Well, An Example of the Top should be expected for the Student to see."

After saying her words with her Monotone Voice, Ego then formed a Spell Circle on her Hand. The Young Girls looked at it with curiosity as they waited for something to happen. Time passes by as the Young Girls couldn't see anything conjured by the Spell Circle. "Did the Spell fail?" Marx questioned as Capita bonk Marx's head and answered. "Our current Mastery over Magic is low, so it must be the reason why we can see anything. I highly believe that something crazy is going to happen."

Luna bonk Capita's head and sighed as she spoke with a calm voice. "You are also wrong about that, but your last words are highly correct." Capita raised an eyebrow as Luna pointed to the skies. Marx and Capita then looked at the skies and saw Thousands of Spell Circles created by Ego. Capita looked at the Spell Circles and spoke with a curious voice. "These Spells aren't Empty Spells." Marx looked at the Spell Circles in amazement as she noticed the curious expression on Capita's face.

"The Spells on the Skies highly resembles the Spell that created the Huge Explosion..." Capita said as she stopped her words and looked at the Skies in shocked. Marx and Luna also realized it and turned their heads upwards. "Every single spell on the sky has the same power as the Spell that created the Fire Bomb. The only problem is the fact that there are thousands of spells of the same power." Luna said as Ego's monotone voice echoed behind them. "That is correct."

They flinched in fear as they looked at Ego, who gazes at them with an eye devoid of emotion. Marx gulped and gained the courage to speak. "Eh, I guess this should be our Goal. Right?" Capita and Luna nodded in agreement as Luna replied with a calm voice. "This should be our Goal for the meantime. I can even say that this isn't Lord Ego's true power."

"Well, let us stop the demonstration." Ego said as one flicked of her fingers. All the Spells in the Sky disappeared as if they weren't there, to begin with. The Young Girls stopped looking at the Heavens as each of them took a deep breath after seeing the Spell, Ego could easily conjure. Ego, seeing their shocked expressions, chucked within herself as she felt someone standing behind her.

Ego quickly kicked the Figure who stood behind her and planned to back away with her students. But the plan failed the moment her Kick was held by a single hand. Ego finally saw who was the Figure was and saw her Sister smirking at her. She realized that she fucked up and apologized to her Sister. "Eh... I apologized, Sister." If her sister weren't holding her Leg, Ego would have bowed on the Ground.

"There is no need to apologize. It was my fault as I sneaked on you." Persia shook her head as she stopped holding Ego's Pale and Soft Leg. She wanted to surprise Ego but to her surprise. It seemed that Ego had strong instincts. Persia never thought that her stealth would be seen through but after thinking about it for a while. Ego always sensed her even if she tried to sneak. She never knew the reason, but it must be because Ego was a parallel mind.

"Now what I think about it. It seemed that you were giving your Students a good show. I never thought that my Sister was someone that would want to hear the Praise of her Students. I guess that all beings in this Reality as somewhat strange." Persia said with a teasing smile as her Soothing Voice echoed in the Forest. Ego raised an eyebrow after hearing what Persia said and replied with her monotone voice. "I am not the one to seek attention, and my Students asked me to show them Magic."

"Oh... Hohoho... Do you think I would believe that? There are many ways you can easily give a good image of Magic. You seemed to pick the most complicated and showy way." Persia continued smiling as Ego couldn't find a counter to Persia's words. What Persia said was the truth. There were numerous things she could do to give the Students an Image of Magic. 'Was I really trying to show off?' Ego thought to herself.

"Let us stop wasting the time of your students," Persia said as she diverted the topic away from their current one as she felt that something might go wrong if they continued. The Young Girls then noticed Persia talking to Ego as they immediately kneeled towards Persia. "Master." All of them said at the same time as they lightly bowed while kneeling. Persia looked at them and shook her head.

"Please don't kneel as your clothes might get dirty," Persia said with a soothing voice as the Young Girls realized that they were dirtying the Clothes created by their Master. They quickly stopped kneeling and stood back up. They lightly bowed, Which made Persia sigh and nodded towards the Young Girls. After dealing with the Young Girls, Persia looked at Ego, who stood right beside her as she spoke with her calm voice.

"I am here to deliver the Books you asked, Ego," Persia said as Three Thick Books appeared on her Right Hand. She carried them as if they were nothing and gave them towards Ego. The Young Girls looked at the Books with curious expressions as Persia spoke about the Books. "You told me to create the Books for your Talented Students. After all, Their Attributes are quite complicated to deal with."

Before the Stage Three of the Magic Training Regiment began, Ego asked Persia to create the Books she got from her Archives. The books were attribute books that gave information about an Attribute. Persia was interested in the book, and she managed to read it while creating a physical copy. The information within the book was quite understandable and simple. It must have been Ego's localized version of the book.

With the information Persia gained from the Books, Persia's understanding of three certain attributes increased. It made her curious about the Books Ego had within her Archive. The Books must have more information which means that with the Information in Ego's archive. Persia could at least find something useful for the current her.

'I'll talk to Ego about that later. We must also plan for the Storms that are brewing in this forest.' Persia thought to herself as a cold light glinted in her eyes. It quickly disappeared in an instant as it got replaced with a soothing light that would make anyone drop their guard. While thinking about the Storms brewing within the Forest, Persa realized something wrong about herself.

'Hmm... My behavior these days is quite strange. Wasn't I someone that was known for my straightforwardness and handling everything with destruction? Why am I handling the problems with intelligence, and why am I acting like a schemer. Well... I am a serpent, so it makes sense for me to be a manipulator and a schemer, but this feeling is still strange.' Persia shook her head and decided to keep the thoughts at the back of her mind.

"It's time for me to leave and continue on my job(By doing nothing) and let you continue on your training." Persia smiled as she disappeared from the spot. Ego sighed after seeing Persia disappear and looked back at her students. She brought the Three Books with a smirk and gave them to her Young Students.

"What is these books, Lord Ego?" Marx asked in curiosity as the other Girls were also curious about the Books. They wanted to know the names of the Books, and they also knew that the Books must be something important as it was delivered by the Master herself. The Books had different colors, and each of them received one book. Ego then answered Marx's question.

"The Books are called Attribute Books. These will be the things you would study to deepened your Information on Magic and your Current Attribute. These Three Books are the Time Attribute Book, Space Attribute Book, and Void Attribute Book. All of them are quite important, so take care of them with utmost care." Ego said with her monotone voice as she also disappeared from the spot and observed the Students from afar. Ego wanted to see what they would do after receiving basic information about the Attribute Books, so she observed them from kilometers away.
