After sending the owl with the letter I went ahead and did my morning routine as I greeted sister mary who was cooking breakfast for everybody and everyone was busy doing morning stuff. Nobody approached me as usual with their usual fear of my 'freakishness' aka magic. I went ahead and had my breakfast soon after it was ready and went to back to my room with no school as it was summer holidays going on.
Well I thought about magic and am so excited to try but wand is required to do anything I guess.
Wait. Then how did the first ever mage discover magic. Like how I, by mistake or accidentally did magic. I don't think wand then should be basic requirement fo magic. Hmmm... Maybe meditation? Many cultivation novels and magic novels have meditation for mana as they call it.
I sat down on the bed cross legged and started trying to remember the feeling of magic when I did levitate myself from falling on my face after getting tripped by the 3rd rate villan of my life.
The feeling was a strong emotion of shock and unwillingness to get hurt. Which soon felt like something was leaving me. What is that something?
Slowly I tried to feel the something but failed to do so in the end. After a good amount of time spent trying I decided to use a strong emotion and will to do something and feel magic.
Focusing on the 6th grade math book I tried my best and visualized levitating it and lifting it up with strong will and belief. After a unknown amount of time of trying the book slowly lifted up and I was ecstatic which broke the concentration and made me try again.
Soon I felt something leaving my hand pointing the book for which I tried to get a good feel of and tried holding on to the feeling of it. Warmth coursing through my body and felt it in myself as I closed my eyes and focused on the magic energy itself.
The feeling of magic was incredible as I made flow through my body and it surprisingly listened to whatever I say. I tried only feeling and letting it take natural course to see the origin of magic in me. And soon the magic retreated back into somewhere around my heart, I tried following it deep inside myself.
Soon after barely following the fastly retreating magical energy I found myself in a peculiar feeling. A sense of state wher I could perceive all magic. All the magic around me, wait a second. Why does everything around me have some magic flowing in and out of them? In a seemingly perpetual cycle? Wait is it heat? Wait I can feel somewhere magic is turning into something else, it's moving? Kinetic energy? All stuff have some potential energy too?
Wait is magic energy the base form of all energies in the world???? Wow!
I need to test stuff out more to confirm things.
Slowly I got lost in the etheral feeling of magic and my ability to control such a wonderful thing.
I understood that I could control all kinds energy using magic energy. I can control temprature by giving something magic energy converted to heat or heat converted back to magic but I understood that magic is limited in quantity, that is, if magic turns into heat then somewhere else some other type of physical energy must be converted to magic and if heat is converted to magic, somewhere else magic must be converted to some other type of energy.
And it seems like magic i control is naturally balancing or rather maintaining the conservation of magical energy law I just discovered by using up the energy from the food I eat.
"Argh!" I winced as I felt dizzy and was forced to leave the ethereal state.
Soon I realised I overused my magic utilising muscle or I want to call it spirit. Spirit is something that can sense and use magic as I said it stays near the heart, precisely right in front of it.
All energies are magic and magic can be any energy. Conversion can occur between physical energies such as electrical and heat energy and or can occur from magical energy to physical energy. The conversion from magical energy to physical ones can be done in one way that is by my instructions. More like visualisations, more vivid visualization more accurately magic is mobilized to get results of the visualization.
Soon after taking a rest with ecstasy I checked the clock to find it was already lunch time. I went to eat the lunch and cam back to practice magic again. I decided to bask in the ethereal feeling of magic sensitivity. I want to call it 4th dimension.
Feeling the 4th dimension continuously was not very exhausting but rather controlling magic was. Soon by the time I went to dinner I was pretty good at going into the 4th dimension easily.
I decided to try always staying there in all activities.
Soon 3 days passed by in a giffy as I experimented a lot with the 4th dimension and magical energy. I understood that the limit of my perception of the 4th dimension is around 10 m sphere if I really stretch it out and not focus on the intricate details of things. And I discovered that if I really concentrate the perception at one point I could get the view of atoms! Not sub atomic level but maybe around 20 atoms I could distinctly see with their energies although not controllable as it was very hard to control the electric energies of individual atoms and electrons as they were still not visible, yet?
Well soon I did so much practice that I could stay in the 4th dimension at all times. Always and it soon became his way of seeing the world. Using it with the 3 dimensional view of the world wa insane to say the least it did hurt at the start as the influx of information was large but I soon got used to it. I found producing light was hard as I could not perceive electrons yet and could not make them produce photons.
Now that 4th dimension for me is the same as seeing and hearing I could feel a kid running up the stairs to my room. He soon arrived and started taking of his pants and seemed to start peeing? SHIT DAMN FUCKERS ARE MAKING KIDS DO THIS KIND OF STUFF. I cursed as I ran to the door and opened it just in time before the little boy got scared with pants in hand, ran away.
Then soon I decided I have been holed up in my room long enough I should go down and take a walk this morning. I went down to the ground floor and opened the door to go the yard of the orphanage and started walking while feeling the perfect morning breeze.
And obviously a day in the mc's life is impossible without a third rate fucker and his group coming to get their ass kicked with cliche lines.
"Finally out from your little rat hole, or rather I should say freak hole that houses freaks like you?" Said the 3rd rate fucker named Martin who is same age as me. Has a superiority complex and is full of utter bullshit.
I just ignore them and move on with my walk. And as usual the trouble's favorite person is always the mc and it comes searching for the mc uninvited. The boy with anger tried to punch the living daylights out of my while I dodged with bored expression and decided to trip him using a small bit of magic. I focused on his leg and removed the kinetic energy and potential energy from his leg that was building up with fighting of muscles and essentially just made them go back to relaxed state. Which obviously disoriented him and tripped him falling face first on the grass.
His very loyal 4th rate lackeys decided to help him as I just moved on with my walk.
Soon a very peculiar organism entered my range. A cat? But not a cat cause a cat does not have that little ball in its head which seems like active use of magic wait a magical cat? It is heading into an alley it seems. I decided to go and check it out, and broke my walk into a run.
"Don't you dare run away you bastard!" shouted the useless 3rd rate villan with mud covered face.
I moved fast with the help of magic carefully adding small thrusts of force around my foot on each contact with the ground and soon reached the alley with inhuman speed for my age and stature. After finding the cat I looked at it carefully and with curious eyes.
It was a normal cat with a small special ball near its head that covered the small intricate patterns? Inside the ball there seems to be.... Something similar to my spirit? Wait what do all magical organisms have this spirit???
But soon to my suprise s amazing mind boggling feat of pure magic occured that was so beautiful and intricate when looked through the 4th dimension that I was left speechless before the old lady with glasses in robes and a hat who was just a cat.
"WOW THIS IS MAGIC" I spoke out involuntarily.
