My Elf System

34. Grimoire.

“She is?” 

Orion turned to Elena with even more respect towards her.

Elena giggled and a smile appeared on her face.

She ruffled her cute little nephew’s hair before replying. “Yes dear, I am. If you wish to learn how to use any weapon, all you have to do is to learn how to manipulate Aura, just like how you were able to learn how to manipulate mana yesterday. Aura is a bit different and difficult to master but once you’ve mastered how to manipulate it, you’ll be able to strengthen and enchant any weapon you use,”

“Really?”

“Of course, dear,”

“Can we start now?”

“Huh? But I thought you wanted to learn how to cast spells?” Elena asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“Yes, I want to learn both,”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Elena’s face. She could see that her handsome and cute little nephew wanted her to be happy hence why he volunteered to learn both magic and sword training.

If Orion wasn’t the best nephew in the world, who else would it be.

There was no doubt about it.

Orion was simply the best nephew ever!!!

However, Elena would never do anything to harm her precious little nephew.

She appreciated his kindness but she needed to inform him about a few things concerning Aura and those who wished to learn about it.

“Orion dear, you need to know something,”

“What is it?”

“You see, unlike mana, Aura is really difficult to master,” Elena cautioned Orion. “You don’t have to learn both if you are still unsure. You can focus more on learning how to cast spells for now,”

“I will Auntie but I also want to learn how to fight,”

“Are you sure?”

“I am,” Orion replied with a smile.

“Okay dear, your mom and I will find a way to create a training schedule that won’t interfere with our royal duties to the kingdom and the time you’ll need to have all to yourself to play and to do anything else you wish to do,” Elena said, remembering the fact that Orion was not even a year old yet.

If they were going to start teaching and training him,they won’t use that to stop him from enjoying his childhood as well.

“Okay auntie, and thank you,”

“You’re welcome dear, and thank you too,” Elena said and planted a long kiss on his cheek.

Orion giggled but suddenly found himself being hugged tightly by his aunt.

“Ahem,” Evelyn coughed out loudly to attract their attention towards her, then she stood up from her seat while saying.

“Okay sweetie, it’s time for you to follow mama to the library, Mama will explain to you a thing or two about magic,” Evelyn said before squinting her eyes towards Elena.

Elena rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.

“Okay,” Orion hugged his aunt one more time before walking away with his mother to the library in the castle.

While walking, Orion thought this would be a good time to ask.

“Mama?”

“What is sweetie?”

“Yesterday, right after I summoned my spirit guardian, your voice sounded in my head, telling me to turn around. It was you who said that right?”

“Yes dear, it was me,”

“Can I do that too?”

“You will my little prince, but not now,”

“Oh, I see,” Orion felt sad that he won’t be able to use that skill for now.

“Ufufufu--- Don’t feel sad baby. It is a really difficult skill to learn but you should be able to learn it once you’ve gotten used to talking telepathically to Mia,”

“Since she’s your spirit guardian, you should be able to do this by now,”

“Yes, I can,”

“Then, keep doing that and once you’ve grown a bit more, mama will teach you how to talk telepathically to everyone around you,”

“Thanks Mama,”

“You’re welcome sweetie,”

The two of them continued to talk while walking along the corridor, smiling and chuckling to one another.

After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived in the library and Orion was amazed by how huge and high the shelves in the library were.

The library had hundreds and thousands of books in it and he wondered if he could ever finish reading those books if he were to decide to sit down and start reading every single one of them.

‘Let’s not think about that for now and focus on why I’m here,’

Orion took a seat and noticed his mother walking towards him after looking around for the books she needed.

“Okay sweetie, let’s get started,” Evelyn said and Orion watched as his mother dropped a tower of twenty huge grimoire in front of him.

A single grimoire looked as big as an encyclopedia and it was equally as heavy as one.

Evelyn waved her hand a bit and one of the grimoire hovered above the rest before landing on the desk in front of Orion.

Orion looked at the words written in the cover page, but he couldn’t understand it because it was written in elvish language.

Although, he could speak and understand simple elvish language but he couldn’t read and write it yet.

“The words on the cover page says ‘Basic Tier One Wind Magic Spells’,” Evelyn explained.

“We’ll start with wind magic and then slowly move further to other elemental magic spells before doing anything else, but first, you need to know that all magic spells are divided into ten tiers,”

“Okay,”

“Almost all Tier One spells can be learned by all mages but any tier higher than Tier three is extremely difficult for mages to chant,” Evelyn explained further and Orion nodded his head in understanding.

He turned his attention back to the grimoire in front of him and he opened the pages.

He could see several words written in the grimoire which signified the spells he had to learn to be able to chant them.

“There are two ways to learning magic. The first is to memorize the spells in a grimoire while the second is to memorize the magic circle in the grimoire, but I want you to learn the latter,”

Orion listened attentively to what Evelyn was saying then he looked at the grimoire once again and noticed the diagrams of many magic circles drawn in  it.
