The Life of a Wizard

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

I walked out of the library, or rather sprinted, and was greeted by the sight of an old man who looked young. You know who it is. It was Feeh.

“Hey, Feeh! How’re you doing?”

I hadn’t seen Feeh this entire morning, so I thought that he probably went out to exterminate some of the wild creatures in the forest, such as the Devil Boar or maybe even the pesky undead. They were a real hassall, I’ve got to say. Even if you wipe out an entire colony of undead, or even a pack of the Devil Boars, they will just get replaced by a new generation of their species. 

It was only that reason that made the monsters a hassle. It wasn’t like they were strong or anything, since I could wipe them out by just throwing a rock at them when I was only 6 years old. I just don’t like to kill, so I usually let Feeh do the work. If I ever have to slay a monster, I would choose to slay an undead. They don’t have any blood, which is a good thing for me— a person who doesn’t like gruesome things. 

“I’m doing well, I just went to the garden to relax my mind.”

“Oh, you did? How come I didn’t see you while I was watering the plants?”

“I believe that the reason for why you didn’t see me during that time was because I was in the Le Garden, not the regular garden.”

“That makes sense! So, what were you doing in the Le Garden?”

To those who don’t understand what Feeh and I were talking about, let me explain. We have two gardens near our hut. One is square, which you already know about. We call that garden Square Garden. Not very creative, but it gets the job done. The second garden is a garden that is meant for more of a research and economic purpose. 

In the second garden, Feeh and I plant lots of magical plants that contain lots and lots of mana. This is what Feeh sells to buy some of our necessities whenever he goes out every once in a while. This garden is called the Le Garden.

Even though magic is very useful for many things, it just can’t be used to do some things. You can’t use magic to create hygienic products that are just like the things that professionals make. For example, underwear.

You just can’t create soft and flexible underwear. Feeh once tried making underwear out of magic once, before I could use magic, and it turned out awful! The fabric created out of mana was smooth and silky, but it continuously used up the mana in the air. 

There wasn’t a shortage of mana in the air by any means. Nor was it that Feeh and I ran out of mana because of the continuous absorption of mana. No, that didn’t make the underwear terrible. A different fact made us hate it. 

When mana was absorbed by the fabric, it kept enriching it. The fabric got shinier and shinier. It also became smoother and smoother. The fabric felt like heaven.

Till that moment, a few minutes after their creation, the underwear was doing perfect! Feeh and I had both agreed that we should keep making magic underwear and were just about to mass produce the underwear when it happened. 

The fabric had gotten very shiny. And by very, I mean, very, very, very, very, very, very, shiny! It had also gotten very hot. Too hot. (A/N: Not that type of hot. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

The reason for why the underwear was warming up rapidly was because of the mana the fabric created from mana absorbed. Mana is just like heat. It courses throughout your body and warms it up. Too much heat can be harmful. 

In fact, except for living things and itself, mana can’t be contained in anything that doesn’t have an engraving that allows the thing to hold mana. If I were to try to insert mana into any random item in our hut, chances are that it would explode from hotness. (A/N: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
