Chapter 2 - Second time
Standing in front of his own room, Auran glanced slightly at the nameplate where the word "Apprentice Magician" was written before opening the door and stepping inside.
His room was messy, and wherever he looked, there was at least one book about magic theories developed by others. On the walls were the theories he had developed himself, all of which had proven to be failures.
After eating the honey buns, Auran felt a craving for some fresh water, and with a bottle of water in his hand, he made his way to his study table, which already had a book opened to a marked page.
Sitting down, Auran first reread the work he had done so far. In the book, he had written down all the experiences he had gathered up to now; it included the failed attempts he had made, what he had learned from them, and ideas on how to improve afterward.
After looking through all the pages, Auran came to the current page where the book was left blank, without anything written on it.
After countless efforts, Auran now had a slight idea of how to move forward, and after seeing how Henry, who was much younger than him, was progressing, he decided to carve out the thoughts in his mind into words.
So he started his work—thinking, writing, and reading other precise works to confirm his thoughts. It took hours until he finally put down his pen.
Looking at the roughly drawn magical theory on the page, Auran felt a bit scared. This was all he could think of for now, and he knew that, for a while, this would be the result of all of his hard work.
After taking a deep breath, he decided to try it out—the theory he had newly developed to step into the path of time magic. He decided to test it as soon as he could to see the results.
His theory was that to access the mystery known as time, there had to be a medium or some sort of special portal that connected him to the mysterious substance.
Auran suspected that the thing called time must be something that existed but was invisible to the naked eye.
