Forced Transmigration - Chapter 6

A week had passed since the banquet…

It was decided to teach about magic first to Alexander, since he is hopeless with his body in knight arts at this moment.

Alexander was waiting in a room for his teacher Merlin to come. Since today is the day of his first magic lesson, he was way too excited.

A man in his 50’s with good built and white hair, wearing a blue coloured robe holding a staff like weapon with a stone at the top of it, entered the room. He was none other than the head of the royal mages and most professional mage in the kingdom, MERLIN!

After seeing him enter the room, Alexander bowed to him to show his respect but Merlin didn’t care much about his manners since he was not in a good mood. For he just came here to teach him for a month on his majesty’s orders.

Merlin told Alexander to sit down and he took a round ball like structure and placed it in front of Alexander.

“Touch the crystal ball with both of your hands” said Merlin.

“Eh? What does it do, master?” queried Alexander with respect towards his teacher.

However merlin didn’t mind to explain it to him and said, “Just do what I say first.”

“Ok,” he nodded and placed his both hands on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball then glowed, slowly emitting a very little white color.

“Tsk, just as I expected, you didn’t have the bloodline,” said Merlin.

“Bloodline? What is it master?” asked Alexander.

“Many living beings have a blood line and its unique for each family. The royal family blood line is a DRAGONSLAYER magic. But you don’t have that bloodline at all! Not all children can have the blood line, though. It’s just depends on your luck. Even your sister the 3rd princess Tilly, don’t have any blood line. But she have a pretty high magic power compared to you. You see that white light emiting? The brighter it is, the higher your magic power. Your magic power is weak, way too weak, it can barely be considered,” said Merlin.

“Master how can I get a blood line now and how can I get more magic power?” asked Alexander.

“It’s impossible to get a blood line. It comes from your ancestors and it is decided at the time of your birth. There are a lot of bloodlines in this world and each have their own speciality. And when it comes to magic power, you can train, but i have only little hope about your innate ability,” said Merlin.

Alexander, after hearing it, was depressed and thought, “oh, no, no, no, no, I want magic, more magic. I can’t be a useless moron like the previous prince! Whatever! Damn it! I will find a way this old man said bloodline are decided at birth and passed from parents and ancestors. So it’s just genetic I can try, using science tech genetic engineering from my world. I just need to experiment, work hard and first of all never give up!!!”

Merlin left a sigh and took a scroll and gave it to Alexander “Take this scroll and open it,” said Merlin to Alexander.

Alexander opened the scroll and saw something written on it.

“These are the spells for basic magic. Feel the magic power you have in your body and chant those spells accordingly, to use the magic,” said Merlin.

“OMG! Do I have to remember all this?” thought Alexander.

“Remember, there are various elements in this world and thus their unique magic. But magic power being used for any kind is just the same. It’s just based on how you process your magic power within your body, the output will vary” continued Merlin.

“There are basic elemental magic like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and advanced elements like ice, thunder, light and darkness. Each of them is unique,” Merlin continued to explain.

Hearing it, Alexander got excited and unable to control his mouth he spoke “Master what about time and space?” asked Alexander.

“Time magic? Haha little boy, there’s no such thing as time magic in this world. And space magic, well, it doesn’t exist either. In the legends, it was said there that space magic existed. However, nobody was sure how, and no one in this present era have a clue about it anymore” explained Merlin.

“Anyway forget about them. They are not at your level. I hope you can at least learn the basic elements and be a tier 1 mage,” encouraged Merlin.

“Tier 1??? What’s that master?” asked Alexander.

“Magicians and knights are divided into 10 levels, based on the power. And the only difference between magicians and knights is magicians can emit the different elements in different forms and knights can only use their magic power to boost their speed and defense and attack” explained Merlin further.

“Why can’t they just emit magic along with boosting their body at same time?” queried Alexander.

“Haha, little boy you do have some brain to ask such questions. However, casting a spell takes a lot of concentration and it’s not possible to do those two things at same time,” Merlin explained.

“Anyway, in that scroll, there are basic elementary spells and I will teach you how to increase your mana pool,” Merlin continued.

They both went into garden and sat under a tree. Merlin then showed him a meditation posture and told him to follow it.

for visiting.

“Close your eyes and feel your inner magic power. Then feel the natural magic power around you in this world and try to gather them into your body slowly. But do not rush, because if you rush, your inner vessel will get damaged and it will affect you in future. The more you practice and the more you can gather, the more will be your inner magic power,” explained Merlin.

“Wait a second, it’s the just same shit like they do in cultivation novels. Holyfuck! there’s no way I can sit like that and meditate for days! Forget about days, I can’t even sit like that for an hour!” thought Alexander and sat down following his master with a depressed look on his face.

Alexander, after sitting in that posture tried to feel his inner self and the outer magic power, like Merlin had told him to do. But, he was barely able to do it. After 15 minutes, he was unable to focus anymore. He then, opened his eyes and saw a man staring at him with dissapointment.

“Hmm, just as I expected this kid don’t have an aptitude for magic nor he can work hard. He can’t even hold in that state for at least an hour. Anyway, at least he is lucky to be a prince!” thought Merlin looking at Alexander.

“Oh shit, why is this old man looking at me like that as if I raped his only daughter?” thought Alexander.

“Hmm, Alexander, this is all I can teach you for today. Go practice this method to increase your magic power and learn basic elemental magic from those scrolls. I personally wrote those spells and they are the best and easy way to learn magic you can find in this kingdom. Within one month, if you can’t even learn those basic spells, then I cant help it. You can forget about being a magician in your life,” said Merlin flabbergasted and left the garden.

Seeing the old man leave, “Just watch me old man, I will show you what real magic is after I learn. I will show you the difference between our human intelligence on earth and you people here, hehe” thought Alexander.
