Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 29: Rei's Path

"Rei you were so cool just now. 'Don't call me a bitch either!' Ahhh! Made me shiver when I heard that!" Alissa seemed to be fangirling over the way I handled things earlier which made me blush a little. I may have been a little over the top but from what I know about Sara the worst had yet to come, so getting some interest now was not too bad I guess. 

"Yeah, Rei, that was pretty well done. I do not think Sara has ever scolded, never mind slapped, and then punched. Maybe this will be a good lesson for her." Able didn't seem to understand the heart of a jealous woman. Though I guess I didn't either since I never had the chance to be jealous before. If he had the knowledge that I did he would understand that this was only the beginning. 

We traveled throughout the house and Able showed me where the main things were from the dining room where they ate, to the kitchen, and bathrooms. "This here is the library, you can come here at any time. My father put a lot of work into this room and tracked down a lot of ancient books, most of which we do not even understand. There are said to be many grimoires on the top level but they are written in a lost language and no one knows how to decipher them. As the Young Miss of the house, you are allowed to enter this place. Only the people of the main family are allowed in here, guest may enter only with someone from the main family here." 

"I see Then that is?" I pointed over at the young man sitting at a table reading a book. As far as I know, Able was an only child and had no siblings. So this young man was not someone I knew from the game. 

"Oh, he is one of Father's disciples, Drake Oswald. My Father has three other disciples as well. I am sure you will meet the rest of them later on. As for Drake, he is more of a scholarly type. He is obsessed with the old grimoires. He would study them day and night if it was not for his family dragging him back every day." Able explained. At that time Drake lifted his head to look in our direction. Our eyes met so I smiled and gave a polite nod. But the book in his hand ended up catching my eye. I do not know if it was just me but I was able to read the title of that book Drake was reading. 'The Book Of Seven'

"I will show you the training area next." Able said as he grabbed my hand and led me away. Alissa and Emily quickly followed after us. I had no Idea why he was in such a rush.

The training ground was huge and I mean huge. It was equivalent to maybe two football fields. And even then this place was still packed with magic knights as they trained. The sight before me really caught my interest right away. Mainly because I got to see first hand how magic knights use magic and fight with swords at the same time. I was so engrossed in watching the training that I did not hear much of the conversation next to me.

"It's a good thing you brought her here last." Alissa said.

"Yeah, I figured this would happen. She seemed to be someone who would be more interested in the fighting than anything else." Able said with a light chuckle.

The things I saw in front of me were truly amazing. The way they could guard and attack so smoothly and easily with their swords while channeling magic for defense and offense at the same time was truly amazing. There were no movie scenes in Magical Love, only CG images which were very beautiful don't get me wrong but seeing things in live-action was so much better. My heart was pounding as I watched the back and forths of the people sparring. But one thing I did not get was why no matter how many times one was cut they did not seem to care in the slightest. I even watched one person get stabbed through but they still laughed as if it was nothing. I turned my questioning gaze towards Able who seemed to understand what I was wanting to ask.

"This training field has a special magical array around it. Even if one is hit with a fatal wound they will not die. So if someone gets stabbed through they will feel the pain but nothing more. If they were to take a fatal blow they would be ejected from the training field and placed in what we call the respawn area. Where they will be fully healed in an instant. This magic array was actually created by the Great Grand Magus Archibald." Able explained.

I was quite stunned by hearing this. It felt like cheating in a way. But at the same time, it was very good training since it would allow one to get used to the pain of being stabbed or sliced making it so that they would not falter in times of war. Allowing them to better themselves in an extreme way without worrying about dying. But a thought came to mind..."If that was the case, couldn't you use such an array in times of war?"

"I wish we could. The issue is that these arrays are hard to come by and the Great Grand Magus Archibald has already passed on for some years now. Not to mention these arrays require a specific way of being set up that was only known to the Great Grand Magus." After hearing what Able said I understood why such a thing could not be used in war. And to be honest it is not surprising that the Ronstine family had such an array since they have a long family history as magic knights that goes back many, many years.

One thing I knew now after watching the magic knights practice was that I truly wished to become a magic knight more than ever now. Not just for the prestige and ability to cast off the Lancaster name so that I could be free, but because the way they fought really made my blood boil so much that I wanted to run out on the field and spar with someone. Sadly, I think I took after my father and have a warriors heart. Even back on Earth, I loved fighting in my family's dojo. It was too bad that the dojo was not making enough money for us to live off of and my father had to take on a regular job and only work at the dojo on weekends. But as I thought about integrating my own abilities into a form of fighting as a magic knight, I began to get extremely excited. But I also wanted to gain some more knowledge about this world as well, things that I could never find out from the game. So I knew a lot of time would need to be spent in the library as I did my research. At least now I had a path I wished to follow wholeheartedly.
