Impractical Magic

I M Chapter 50 [Maria]

"Huff-huff."

A woman runs at full speed inside of the castle, with her hand at the scabbard ready to do battle at any moment. Her eyes like an eagle looking for its prey.

Passing by the maids, commoners and guards like a gust of wind. One of the guards greeted her, but she pays no heed and continued to run in between them.

"Why is she in a hurry?"

"Maybe someone slacked at their duties again."

"O-ho, someone's gotta get their butt kicked really good."

The two guards talked about the woman, one answered raising both of his hands and shrugging like it wasn't their problem.

Finally she reached her destination, standing in front of the door. She tried to open it, but it was locked. She knocked and knocked, unable to wait any longer due to the urgency, she decided to break it down with her sword.

The woman moved back and started her stance, removing her scabbard from the belt and holding it with her right hand, her left gripping the hilt tightly.

She takes in some air and struck the door, it was cut in haft despite being strong enough to receive multiple blows.

"Ahh?!!"

A female voice rings out as she cut it. She thought that, she might've hit someone. The next moment, her sword is cut and inches from her neck was a sword. It's edge glowing in a bright crimson orange.

"God... mother?"

The one who spoke was a girl with long blonde hair.

~~~Maria~~~

It has already been a week since we came here. Jose introduced me to a few people he knew. He said that if I had wanted to learn Supportive and Healing magic of the Expert level, then those people would be able teach me.

But Jose knows how to use ▪Meteor Storm▪ and it's at Grand Master level. He said that it is just a ▪Fireball▪ spell which is invoked at max output and is Multi-casted.

Apparently, you can call a spell your own by being creative. Then I could make my own unique spell names if I can do multi-cast?

Jose, was going to teach me how to Multi-cast, but due to the invitation of Angelica we weren't able to proceed with my teaching.

The King was really nice, every now and then. He let's us use the carriage whenever we decided to go to town. He also pays for our expenses, in which we are reluctant to spend, still he insisted.

But I think it is only due to Angelica being his granddaughter. If it is a mere guest's, he would probably let them use their own money.

Currently I'm with Angelica eating breakfast in our room, a maid delivers our breakfast like this everyday from a push cart. Blake, was still sleeping soundly at his bed.

I once started looking at his sleeping face and Angelica caught me. It seems like she doesn't mind though... and just smiles at me. Sometimes she also joins me at this spectacle and comments that she wish she had a pen to write on his face.  

They were really nice, I haven't had friends like these in the past...

I was once a student at a magic school. One time, I met with one of my professor's who's a great magician herself. She told me stories about her adventures with her friends and how she enjoyed being an adventurer. I was a child at that time, so it sounded really amazing.

After sometime, I dropped out after only learning a few spells. When I became an adventurer I was overjoyed, but was in for a rude awakening...

Almost all of the adventurers that I had partied with are mostly mad at me for my lack of experience and I was told a lot of times that I was only dragging the party down.
