Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

"Putting in the effort huh."

Thinking about that, Vaan turned around and walked into the library again.

"Where are you going, Young Master?"

Gabel questioned.

"To do what I should have done way before, put in the effort."

Saying those words, Vaan closed the doors of the library and shut himself up.

He had learned about the basic history of this world, and he planned to continue the rest later, however, now that he had the basic idea about the situation, he decided to change his plans.

Magic.

He needed to learn magic as soon as possible.

With that thought in his mind, Vaan grabbed a few books. History of Magic, Basics of Magic, Elements of Magic, How to use Magic, How to Advance in Magic, with all these thick books in his hand, he walked towards a particular table and sat down.

Then, with a determined expression on his face, he started reading.

The History of Magic was not much, it only mentioned the names of strong Mages and their life experiences, how the mages carried the legacies, how new and better spells were created using past knowledge, and all that.

Most of these Mages mentioned in the book were from the Vesta Family.

Vaan was not very interested in the topic so he just skimmed through the book.

Soon, Vaan shifted to books like Basics of Magic, Elements of Magic, How to Use Magic, and other more practical books, reading these books, Vaan finally felt like he actually learned something.

The most important thing he learned was the power scale of a Mage.

In this world, a Mage's strength is measured by the number of Magic Circles he can summon. The naming wasn't unnecessarily complicated, the Mages kept it simple.

A Mage's journey was divided into 3 Phases.

A Basic Mage has 4 Levels.

1st Circle Mage

2nd Circle Mage

3rd Circle Mage

4th Circle Mage

An Intermediate Mage has 2 Levels.

5th Circle Mage

6th Circle Mage

An Advance Mage also had 2 Levels.

7th Circle Mage

8th Circle Mage.

Vaan's mother, Astra Elysia Vesta, was a Peak 7th Circle Mage who was about to become an 8th Circle Mage and reach the peak of Magic.

Vaan, on the other hand, was only a 1st Circle Mage, and even that first circle was currently unstable.

Thinking about it, Vaan couldn't help but chuckle self-depreciatingly.

To think a 20-year-old boy of the Vesta Family, a direct son of the Family head at that, was only a 1st Circle Mage…

It was indeed embarrassing.

This result may be considered normal or even above average in normal families, but in the Vesta Family, where usually a 14 to 15-year-old child forms his or her 1st Mana Circle, this was a pathetic result.

Vaan sighed, then, he closed his eyes, his body instincts took over, and the Mana around him rushed into his body, Vaan was able to sense the Mana circulating around his body.

'These are my Mana Veins…'

He realized.

The Mana moved around his Mana Veins and once it circled all around the body, a red-colored Magic Circle formed in front of Vaan's eyes, he extended his hands towards the Mana Circle, the Mana that had circled throughout his Body rushed into the Magic Circle, forming a strange pattern, the Magic Circle shined brightly as the patterns inside it rotated mysteriously, soon, the temperature around Vaan suddenly rose and,

*Flicker*

From the center of the Magic Circle, a flicker of flames was ignited.

The flames grew intense with each passing second, Vaan's golden eyes shined in awe as the glow of the flames fell on his face, however, suddenly,

*Whoosh*

The Flames disappeared.

The Magic Circle that was shining brightly broke apart.

Vaan frowned in confusion.

Soon, however, he understood the problem.

Whatever he did right now, it was done by following the instincts and muscle memory of this body, he himself had close to no knowledge about the Magic or the Spell he was casting.

In other words, this Magic Circle, it was not his, but of the previous Vaan.

Someone like him, who was from Earth and had never seen or experienced something like this before, would not be able to use it.

Not until he learns all the theory behind it.

And of course, learning all that theory was not a simple task.

'It doesn't matter, although I started late, it doesn't mean nothing can be done. I just need to work hard.'

With that thought in his mind, Vaan grabbed Basics of Magic, How to Use Magic, and Forming your First Magic Circle, and started reading.

Just like that, 12 more hours passed by.

"Young Master."

Vaan, who was still reading the Basics of Magic with a resolute look on his face was interrupted by a voice.

With deep dark circles under his eyes, Vaan glanced at Gabel who had appeared next to him,

"Your meal."

Gabel spoke up as he pointed at the table he had dragged in.

"Huh? You came here by yourself?" Vaan frowned.

"The previous servants I sent feel intimidated by you, especially since this is the first time you have spent so much time in the library."

Gabel chuckled.

"Heh."

Vaan laughed.

"Leave it here, I will eat once I read this part."

He ordered.

"That is enough, continue the rest tomorrow."

Suddenly, Vaan heard another voice.

"Mother." He smiled as he glanced at his mother who just walked into the library.

"Eat and then go to bed, you are not allowed to sit in the library anymore," Astra ordered.

"But moth-"

Vaan wanted to go retort, however, seeing Astra's eyes, he knew it was pointless.

"I understand." He could only bow his head.

"I am glad that you are working hard but keep this in mind,

You don't become a Master Swordsman if you continue to foolishly swing your sword for a long time, the only result you get out of it is tired arms that can't move anymore, a mind that cannot think, and a useless self who destroyed himself by overusing and overexerting his body.

Pushing your limits is good, however, over-pushing it will bite you back.

Becoming a Mage cannot be done by holing yourself up in the library for a day, it takes time."

Astra spoke.

"I understand mother. I was too reckless." Vaan replied.

Astra smiled.

"I do not wish to see those bags under your eyes, is that clear?"

"Yes." Vaan nodded.
