Chapter 3 - learning basics
Observing the slowly moving wooden pieces, Auran made his way closer and gave a slight tap on the surface of the wood, pushing it forward with a tiny bit of force. The movement of the wood increased slightly, although it seemed only one-tenth of the force Auran had applied had managed to push it forward, increasing its speed by an extremely small amount. Even that speed was reduced further as the wooden piece approached the circle.
Auran moved his hand again and tried to increase the speed of the wood piece. He was extremely curious about the effect of the spell he had just cast. But by then, the floating magic circle had begun to dim, and within a minute, it slowly disappeared into the space. The transparent, flowing, water-like substance that had emerged from the circle also vanished in an instant.
Thunk!
After the magic circle disappeared, the wooden pieces fell to the ground and rolled away.
"It disappeared... what was the cause of this?"
Although he was the one who had drawn the circle and cast the spell, Auran still did not fully understand the complex knowledge behind what he had done. He had merely followed the guidance that had flowed into his mind.
Sitting back on the only thing he could sit on in his room—his bed—Auran calmed his restless mind and thought.
"Okay, let’s understand this carefully."
Then he closed his eyes and tried to reach for the book he felt existed within his mind.
