Chapter 19 Telekinesis
This was the story of my second sister, Diana Augustride.
And just like me, she, too, is not right in the head.
As you can see, she has a heavy brother complex, and her behavior itself is also a bit creepy.
Well enough with that.
The breakfast itself was pretty uneventful and boring, aside from some heavy glances I was getting from Emma.
From the looks of it, the words I spoke to her on that day were not that effective.
But this was, of course, to be expected. If she had a good brain in her head, she wouldn't even have blamed me and hated me for no reason, right?
"Callius. I heard you started eating monster meat. Is that true?" Adelyn said while eating.
"Yes, it is true. I understood it was naïve and stupid of me. I won't go into details, but I learned how I was lacking and decided to abandon my pride."
I said while wiping the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief.
"It is good that you finally understood how low you are."
"Mother! What are you saying?"
Adelyn replied while covering her mouth, but seeing her insulting me, Diana didn't stay idle and shouted.
"Diana, it is okay." I signaled Diana to stop and turned my head to Adelyn.
"If you have nothing to say, I will take my leave, Duchess Adelyn."
I said while getting up from my seat.
"We will leave the mansion at 11 am. Make sure to be ready at that time."
She said, and I nodded in response while leaving the dining room.
I certainly was not expecting Diana to come to the house this fast.
As I have mentioned before, Diana has a special class, Fairy.
Since her class is a fairy, she has a very good affinity with nature as well as supernatural beings like spirits, fairies, wandering souls, etc.
Therefore, Austin decided to send her to the Elven Kingdom to make her educated about her affinity.
Since Elves are known for their good affinity with nature and the existence of the World Tree itself is a pretty huge boost for Diana or any other class holder with nature affinity.
However, considering the Elven Kingdom is a bit far away from our kingdom, I didn't think she would get here this fast. It has been only a day since father left here.
She probably used the teleporting magical devices to come here, but I heard they were pretty expensive.
You see, although this world is not developed technologically, the people living in this world are not stupid.
No, they are actually pretty smart, but the thing is, scientists on Earth correspond to magic researchers or scholars in this world.
The reason why this world is not technologically developed is because of the existence of magic.
Since there is magic in this world, most people with good brain work on developing magical formulas to reach higher standings.
Magic itself is a pretty sophisticated concept, and just like science, it arouses the feeling of curiosity about the truth of the world.
In the legends, it was said that once one reaches the 10-star realm, one would become a demigod, and if one manages to surpass that, one would become the god itself.
Isn't this the story of humanity? Starting from the wild, primitive beings to godhood? Isn't that what we pursue in our life? The truth about the world?
Anyway, no matter which world you live in, the desire to reach godhood and the desire to stand for everyone won't be lost from humanity. Since this is what makes us humans, isn't it?
Well, enough with that.
She coming here this fast doesn't matter that much. It is just I was a bit surprised, but that was all.
Just like that, I reached my room and started getting ready for the ceremony in the church.
Although we lost our father, we shouldn't give the impression that we were sad or that we were at our weakest.
No matter what happens, politics never stop, and this banquet itself is a pretty good reason for that.
Without giving the family of the deceased any time to mourn…
Anyway, the clothes I am wearing are pretty good, so I don't need to change them.
Therefore, I decided to do my hair as well as put on the earrings my mother had left me with.
Long earrings with an hourglass figure on each one of them. One had a blue color, while one had yellow.
After putting the earrings on, I fixed my clothes and started practicing my telekinesis magic.
This time, I was trying to move an object without crushing it or without making it fall.
The usage of chantless magic itself is a bit hard. First, I need to find the correct places in my magical circuit to activate, and then I need to make the correct type of mana for my magic. And finally, I need to find the correct coordinates and aim my magic correctly at the target.
Although when I said it looks pretty easy, it still takes a huge amount of concentration and a good sense of magic to apply them correctly.
Just like that, I kept chanting and tried moving the pen on my desk from one side to another.
"My will be done, let things happen as I command."
/THUD/
The moment I chanted my magic, the pen moved not to the end o desk but to the ground beneath it.
It seems I put a bit much force into that, but the picture in my head is getting clear and clear.
At that time, I was wondering what would happen if I activated my art [All Seeing Eye] while using my magic.
This time I chanted but not before activating my art.
The moment my eyes became multicolored, I started my chant.
"My will be done, let things happen as I command."
/SWOOSH/
"Huh?"
That was the only thing I could say. When I used telekinesis magic with my [All Seeing Eye], I saw a hand or something like a limb forming out of nowhere and started moving the pen I was targeting.
I see, so it was like that.
At that moment, I understood what the process was.
When I activate those certain places in my magical circuit, I am actually forming another limb connected to my mind, and with the activation of my mana, it becomes a real force field.
This time, I closed my eyes, deactivating my art. I spread my senses inside my magic circuit as well as my magic core.
Remembering the sensations and the points that were activated with the chant, I started forming the mana I would use for telekinesis inside my core, at the same time activating my magic circuit with the same points.
When all those finished, I imagined the hand I saw with my art and activated the magic in my core, and I felt it. I felt the imaginary limb forming around my body. Even though it was like a stick and it was a bit weak, I could still feel the telekinesis magic activating.
After it finished forming, I directed it to the pen on the ground and tried moving it from the ground to the table.
When the limb touched the imaginary pen, the sensation of touch also started appearing in my brain.
Like how I taught the pen or how it felt when I touched its surface, everything was the same as touching it with my own hands.
After that, I grabbed the pen and raised it to the table.
And just like I expected, the limb was pretty weak. Even though I managed to lift it, I felt my head throbbing as a result.
But no matter what. I managed to use chantless magic for the first time, even though it was pretty tiring.
At that moment, I heard the sound of the system in my head.
<Congratulations, host, for forming the first unique magic [Telekinesis]. A new tab as [Unique Magic] will appear in the system interface from this point, and you will be able to see the competition rate of your magic as well as your affinity with it.>
<Since your attribute is the most basic form of energy, 'Aether,' you have an affinity with all elements. However, note that that doesn't mean you can simply use all magic invented so far. The concept of Unique Magic corresponds to the magic when the mage reaches a certain level and forms a connection with the general magic used with chants. Just like you did just before, there are mages who understood the process of forming magic without chanting and using that magic without chants. When this happens, it is called 'Unique Magic,' and it is exclusive to a person since everyone has their own understanding of that magic. When the magic you have been using becomes Unique Magic, you can raise your understanding of it and make your magic reach higher grounds with your increased understanding.>
System explained. I see, so it was like that. Just as I expected, no matter how smart you are or how unique you can think, there will always be people thinking the same way as you and finding the same thing you found.
Just like that, I formed my first unique magic but seeing the clock coming closer to 11 am, I decided to leave my room to reach the carriage.
Although I am really enthusiastic about practicing my unique magic, I shouldn't be late and give Adelyn a chance to reprimand me.
With that, I reached the front door of the mansion, and as expected, there was a carriage waiting there with an insignia of the Augustride Family…
