Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 10: The Visitor

Chapter 10 | The Visitor |

"As expected of a Magical Beast, it's so agile and fast!"

While I'm tripping and stumbling over uneven ground and tree roots, that magical beast is practically skipping over the floor at unimaginable speeds! It's no wonder it was able to make it past the barrier and get all the way to the edge of the forest, it's probably a really powerful magical beast!

"H-Hey wait up!"

Its running so fast, I-I can't keep up with it anymore... How is it still able to maintain its speed for such a long time? Hahhh... The smart thing to do would be to stop running and follow it's footsteps, that way I won't be tired if I need to run away.

At the time I hadn't realized it yet, but I had delved way to deep into the forest, I was almost at the section of forest where the monsters lived and I hadn't even noticed. Before we hit the border I slowed down to walking speed and began panting, and to my surprise the magical beast looked right back at me worriedly.

"H-Huh...?"

I-It just looked back at me! I-It doesn't look like a beast at all, I could clearly see her face! She's totally a human girl! A-And a cute one as well... Her long blue hair reminds me of the foxes that Papa hunts and brings home, it's like a really beautiful mane.

"Hey! Wait!"

Calling out to her is no use, I already know that. So why do I keep doing it!? Agh! That doesn't matter right now, I have to stop her from going any further in otherwise she might run into a monster or something and be in danger!

I continued my pursuit and picked up the pace again, the image of her body was only just in view, gliding through the air at unimaginable speeds. My eyes widened when I lost sight of her, it wasn't the fact that I lost her that made my heart sink, my eyes widened at the fact she had disappeared in the area where monsters start appearing.

Tomoe's POV:

Ahh! That was so close, if he'd caught up to me I would've been in trouble for sure! I probably would've had to kill him because "he saw to much", I know, cliched right? But after my house came into view I'd pretty much lost sight of the kid and I'm sure he lost me as well so I'm probably safe from exposure for now. All that's left to do now is sneak back into my room.

"Alright, let's do this."

Mhm, I've got this. All I've got to do is use that wind magic and do the exact same thing as last time, but this time it's going to have to make me go 'Up' instead of 'Down'. Don't get me wrong, this is harder than it looks so I've got to be careful not to send myself flying into the wall, the floor, or a tree. I found out that all it takes is a little interruption or a moment of obstructed thought to make something go wrong... That's why I'm going to experiment with something!

If summoning the wind and imagining it making me fly is what it takes to actually make me fly, then wouldn't it be easier to cast it with a keyword? That's what I'm going to test out, and if it goes wrong I'm in big trouble if Mama and Papa catch me. Huuuh!

"Fly."

"U-Uwaa! I-I'm flying, haha! Oops, I might've been a bit to loud, gotta get into my room before Mama or Papa comes out."

I really did it,  I've actually managed to fly without falling! But as I said that and began flying to my window, the front door swung open. Oh no, gotta get inside quickly! I put my hands by my sides and straightened my legs, flying like a bullet through the window and flying straight towards the wall.
