My Magical System

Stone?

Mina felt bored listening to the discussions. So she decided to stroll outside the tent.

She’s wondering if where that guy went. It’s already late at night and still no sign of him showing up. Mina felt anger for some reason. Tomorrow would be their final battle.

“That guy wanted to test my patience, if something not good will happen tomorrow’s battle, he will take the full brunt of my anger,” she whimpered.

Mina scanned her surroundings, but still no visible sign for that guy to show up. Suddenly, her cold gaze caught a glimpse of some recruited soldiers ahead who were busy inspecting the dead bodies of the monsters.

She stepped forward, towards them, “Lady, Hemina,” after 15 steps of walks, someone from behind her, called out her name.

But Mina continued walking without replying to the caller behind.

“Kuku, as cold as ever, huh.” Said the person behind her in an excited tone.

“Stop following me, Jura!” Mina said in a slightly higher voice without sending a glance to the person behind her, which is Jura.

.....

“Of course not, it just so happens that we’re going in the same direction. Kuku,” Jura said while gesturing ‘can’t be helped.

“Tsk!” Mina could only click her tongue in annoyance.

“Uhm, by the way, Lady Hemi, where is that worm? I couldn’t seem to find him here,” He asked, but Mina remained silent. He continued, “did he di–” he wasn’t able to finish his word because Mina interrupts him.

“Nonsense!” For some reason, this word escaped from her mouth. Even Mina was quite shocked by what she had exclaimed.

Maybe she was still sympathizing with that guy who was taunted all year long in the Academy.

Even Jura was surprised as well, “Kuku, Lady Hemi, don’t tell me you are having–” once again, he wasn’t able to finish his words.

“Hmph, you’re imagining things, and failed to observe the main reason, who in their right mind wanted their comrades to die?” Mina said in a cold voice once again.

Well, for Mina, even that worm had families and friends ‘who would mourn if something unfortunate happened to him.

She understood her misgiving temperament towards him. Perhaps, she wanted to correct his way of thinking or handling things.

Like on their first mission, Mina was angered because that guy threw himself in danger without a second thought, even though he had family who would mourn in his death.

Mina reasoned out in herself that it was the reason why she exclaimed after hearing such awful remarks from this guy behind her.

“Kuku, let’s calm down Lady Hemi,” Jura said and slightly raising his palm to gesture her to calm down.

However, Mina didn’t speak a word again and continued walking towards her destination.

Seeing this, Jura gave up following her and went back to the tent after letting out a sigh.

“Look at this, this one too has the same wounds as the others,” said one of the recruited soldiers to the person beside him.

“Right, I wonder how those guys of Ronny’s squad did this?” replied the soldier.

The soldiers that were inspecting the carcasses of monsters have noticed the approaching Mina.

“Hey, girl, you are from Ronny’s squad, right?” A sudden throw of question toward her.

“Yes, I am, why?” she casually answered and questioned at the same time.

Even though she was of a high-status family in this empire, and being called without honorific from a not so closed ordinary people/soldier was somewhat rude to her and her family. But Mina was not the type to beckon on this matter.

“How did you guys able to do this?” The second soldier said while pointing the corpses. A curious look was written on his face.

“What do you mean?” Mina was puzzled.

“These wounds, how did you manage to do it?” Said the first soldier, as he pointed out the wounds using his index finger.

Mina took a closer look at it. But after taking the full view she was lost for words.

The wounds were dealt in an unusual way. Based on how it looks, which was crude however you look at it. Mina surmised that the wounds were dealt with using an edgeless or tipless weapon. Like it was being pierced by a bulk object, like a sto—-ne?

“How could this be?!” Mina was dumbfounded after realizing the impossible reality. “Can stone able to penetrate these monsters without breaking?” She was puzzled. “Who could able to do it?” And her mind was full of questions.
