Starting of the Day, Part 2

A beardelion-pulled carriage stopped by in front of the gates of a large mansion, it is the House of Rondelheim.

A man with proper attire goes out of carriage accompanied by three knight.

"What business do you have here?" says by one of the knights guarding the gate.

"I believed that we had an appointment with Baroness Rondelheim." says the man in attire as he handed a letter onto the knight.

After reading the content of the letter, the knight opened the gate and let them pass. Afterwards, the other knight escorts the guests inside.

The guest waited inside the guestroom over a cup of tea. The room which was supposedly silent, filled with a small chatter from the guest.

"It's been a while, isn't it? a voice accompanied by tackling sound of footsteps.

The man in attire glances over the one that speaks. "Oh! It's you. I haven't seen you awhile. Good to see you, Miss Rose!"

"Good to see you too, Count Henry."

"Oh, please! Drop the formalities, aren't we former classmate."

"Then, Henry! What's with sudden visit?" says Rose as she sips from a cup of tea.

"It's nothing serious, it's about krillim forest" 

"I'm sorry but I won't be able to come with you. I'm taking a break today. My daughter fits for the role as she insist on going—she's also capable at her age."

"I see but... where is this person in mind?" says Henry who was looking for Rose's daughter inside the room.

Rose looks at her assistant. "Where is Lena?" she asked.

"I'm sorry but I think Miss Lena sneaked out. I think she may come in a minut—"

The door slams open midsentence and the people inside were a bit surprised.

"Did you call me, Mother?" says Elena, the tiny girl with long pointed ear.

The room broke into silence. Roselliete stares at Elena. While Elena, that person in mind stares blankly at everyone. After some time, she surprisedly come to realize her sudden barging.

She slowly trotted forward with her tiny feet. "My name is Elena von Rondelheim. Nice to meet you all!" says Elena who introduced herself with proper etiquette.

Henry glances at Elena. "What a lovely lady you are. Are you the person that will accompany us?" 

"Yes, I may look like this but I have guardian's power running in my blood." Elena replies with great determination while clenching her tiny fists.

"Ohohoho-! What a bright child you are." Henry laughs loudly as if he's satisfied with Elena's remarks. "If I may introduced myself. My name is Henry von Lupiez, a Count and also a Tamer. Along with my knights, Liza, Perez and Kyle. Nice to meet you, Young Lady."

"We greet the Young Lady of House Rondelheim!" says the knights who's alongside with Henry, bows at young Elena.

"Likewise, Nice to meet you, Lord Henry! Then, if we're done here, May I excuse myself." says Elena after giving a formal greeting.

"Mother, I'll be excusing myself first to prepare for departure." she added.

"You may go now!" Rose replies while nodding.

After that, Elena takes her leave. Rose and Henry continues their discussion while waiting for Elena's preparation.

......................

"Finally done!" I mumbled to myself in a long hallway.

It was all fine as we walked home until I saw a carriage in front of the gate of our house. 

Is the guests are already here?... A thought flashes through my mind. I'd never thought that they would be here early. As soon as I realized that I've come dashing to the guestroom and was left in dazed after entering.

After walking out the hallway, I had finally made it to my room, a large door stands in front of me. I pushed as I enters.

"Are you done preparing?"

"Yes, M'lady!" a voice responded to my call, it was Maria. "I've prepared everything we need for departure." she said.

After that, we went outside and meet with Lord Henry. They are done with their discussion and was heading outside. I've also bid farewell to my mother and Elias.

And so we depart to krillim forest.

...----------------...

Inside the carriage, there was Sir Henry and Sir Kyle sitting on front seat. On the rear, there was me, sitting on the lap of Maria. Beside us was Miss Liza, a proud knight and the leading commader of the two knights, while Sir Perez , decided to seat beside the coachman.

The inside of the carriage felt like a large room, why is that? It so big that it could fit 10 people in it but it looks normally small on the outside. It couldn't be?...

"Spacial magic[ Expansion ]...!?" I mumbled to myself.

"Oh! So, you learned about this kind of magic!?"

Sir Henry hears the word I've said and was surprised. "Of course, I've  read that on book. It uses complicated magic formula and you'll need to imagine how big the room is and also a lot of mana is required to activate the expansion magic—I had already learned that months ago..."

"EH?"

"...hmm?" everyone was had surprise looks on their faces. Did I say something wrong?

Maria Leans over and lower her head. she whispers "M'lady, only academic class students starts learning that—literally, you need to go through elementary, intermediate class before learning that—and there's no way a 3 three years old kid could learn such advance and complicated magic."

... Oh shoot!... I forgot that in our 'normal' was considered 'only crazy people would do that' for others. A slip of toungue.

"BRRRIIIIIIILLIIAANNTTT! So Lady Elena could already learn an advance magic."

Sir Henry was greatly amazed that he went loud praising me, while Miss Liza and Sir Kyle went with 'Woah'.

I made yet another blunder, now these people clinged to me followed by tons of questions.

And so, another hour had already pass. I had answered few of their questions and now I demonstrate them a new magic—a way to dodge unlimited questions.

"... So, you need to channel the magic inside your body and transfer it from your chest through your arm to the fingers—simultaneously channeling the magic through every fingers..."

The magic that I was about to teach to them was intensified magic, which I had already learned that I have yet to show on public. As I explains the details, everyone silently listens while watching how I demonstrating it.

I raised an arm and opens my hand widely, fingers apart.

Fwoosh!

"In my fingers, I casted different magic in different fingers simultaneously; A fire magic, water, wind, lightning, and earth magic..." As I explains steps by steps, I casted different magics—and they went with "Woah! How?...".

"To cast different magic simultaneously, you need to visualize the image clearly while supplying it with magic equally. In this case, you need to use your imagination with the basic formula in mind. You don't need to chant, chant only helps you focus to visualize the formula on mind..."

As I carefully explains it, they nodded as they understand to tricks behind it.

Miss Liza on the other hand, learns alongside me while listening. She perfectly channels the magic equally. After that, different magic was casted simultaneously, however, some of them dissappeared after a few seconds. She loses her focus but it was amazing to see that she can maintain three different magic at once while she supplies it with mana equally. She got a talent in controlling magic.

Lord Henry and Sir Kyle who was listening to me, shifted on Miss Liza, who's performing a good demonstration. Maria, on the other hand, silently watch and listens.

After seeing their sparkly eyes, it makes me smile as I teach them personally. I never thought it was fun teaching them.

And so, I continues "And now, for the last part, you'll be needing to supply it magic with the same amount but you will supply it with compressed mana..."

Fwoom!

"... The fire turns blue and hotter, the water frozes and hardens, the wind takes form, the lightning materializes while the earth hardens and turned to stone."

"Whoooaaahh! Lady Elena, is a genius! a genius! You might have the blood of the great hero!"

They praise me after putting up the last display. Liza, who was keeping up with me, cuts of the flow of her mana and stopped, I follows and cuts off my flow of mana.

She sweats propusely and gasps for air. She's stuck on 2nd stage, trying hard on casting 5 different magic at once. It must be her diligence or competetiveness or whatsoever but I praise for her talent.

She cocks her head towards me. "H-how were you able to do that?" she asks as she gasp for air.

I smiles and shook my head. "Simply... If I had nothing to do, I always sneak to mother's study room to learn magic. I naturally learned to come up with new magic, as far as I know."

After answering her, I grabbed her by the hand. "So, for the last stage, can you still keep up?" I asks of her.

"YES!" she replies.

"Now, try channeling on one point on your finger, next is to compress your mana like squeezing dry the lemon, after that, release that mana while visualizing fire."

Miss Liza listens closely, after the she started following the procedure.

Fwish!

A fire forms at the end of her fingertip, gradually turning blue. It started big but she managed to adjust while maintaining the supply of mana.

"And that's it! You finally created the intensified magic." I exclaimed as she properly casted the magic as intruction follows.

Miss Liza smiles a sense of success. I was happy to see everyone. Lord Henry and Sir kyle was left impressed while Maria smiles proudly.

"M'lady, how about we register that new magic of yours?" Maria remarks boldly.

"What? You made it? It is a good idea to register a new magic for improvement." Lord Henry agrees with Maria.

"Yeah! Yeah! You can earn fame and popularity." says Sir kyle who silently listens earlier, insists on doing it.

"... Uggh! Getting famous is a pain in the ***...!"

"You should do it, Miss Elena!... Your magic is... um... amazing and you got good control over mana and have profound knowledge in it."

Miss Liza also agrees and insist on registering it. She had a flustered face, saying it while looking elsewhere. She seems to be weak at complementing at others.

Sigh! Everyone insists but... nevermind that. "Okay, I'll be doing it but I want to register it without my name on it—I don't like standing out."

As we talked on the way, the sun went down and night came. We stopped and camped for the night. To pass the night, we exchange stories and fun story. I've also made friends with everyone, Sir Perez also approved of me as I teached him the magic.
