Re: Love & Magic

Dan put his hand on Zevien’s shoulder before saying, “well, you can not do anything about what happened. You have to live with this and ensure something like this doesn’t happen again. That old man Mordar indeed said some awesome things. I also need to keep them in mind.”

“I am going to the morning training now. You can skip it today until you settle your feelings,” Dan said before leaving the room.

…

Zevien lay on the bed as he couldn’t help but worry for Henry and his family. He wanted to know what happened to them, but he also knew that he couldn’t let this thing occupy his mind all the time.

Suddenly, he thought of something, ‘if Touma-sir and the others will do the experiment again, then I might be able to enter into the labyrinth again!’

Zevien wanted to enter the labyrinth immediately if possible as he couldn’t just sit still without knowing what had happened to them. He got up and quickly called Touma.

Zevien—, “Hello, Touma-sir. Do you have any experiments pending? When are you going to commence more experiments as you did to Lopaz and me?”

Touma—, “Well, we did it one more time and failed. We did it on a death row inmate since we knew that we would likely fail without taking your or Lopaz’s help like you did with Lopaz. However, this failure finally allowed us to see the missing point, so we will likely succeed next time. I believe we have a 99% success rate the next time we do it, thanks to Biombee, who helped me analyze all the ingredients and their solutions perfectly with its magic.”

Zevien—, “When are you going to do it? If you can arrange it today, then please do it because I want to enter my 2nd magic labyrinth again.”

Touma—, “Why do you want to enter your labyrinth again? I even doubt you would be able to enter again anyway.”

Zevien—, “It’s…. It’s very important for me. If you can arrange it today, then please do it. Consider this as repaying my favor price of fairy spirit summoning.”

Touma—, “Nah, this is very small compared to the fairy spirit summoning. We were ready to commence the experiment since two days ago but couldn’t find a perfect time since everyone was a bit busy after old man Cargil destroyed the Gio family. We also haven’t decided who we should call for the next experiment attempt. But we can’t call anyone who has evolved their magic core as it’s confirmed that this experiment will only work on classless magicians.”

Zevien turned silent for a few moments before replying—, “I may have a candidate for this experiment but give me half an hour.”

Touma—, “no problem. The classes will start soon, but I am not coming today. The serums are also ready at the lab. This will be our final test if we succeed. Once we succeed this one time, we will name this experiment Magician Growth Boost.

“People will have to pay the astronomical amount and make certain contributions to the country if they want their kids to get this boost. I am afraid you also won’t be able to pay for it in a short time, let alone get the required contribution. So if you want someone to get this enhancement, bring them to the lab after thirty minutes.”

Zevien—,” So I guess high-ranking government officials of the country will get first dibs on the boosts. Since they are also hard to get, the competition will be tough.”

Touma—, “Even Merax or Blondina’s kids can’t get in the queue to get this boost once it goes official. We only have five sets now, and I will use one today for you. Hopefully, it will be the last experiment.”

Zevien—, “Thank you so much.”

Touma—, “I am the head of this whole experiment. Hahaha, they wouldn’t have gotten to know about this thing without me. I can call shots before this goes official, as I did with you. The recipe was mine since I found it, but I was not able to get the ingredients, so…. that’s how it was.”

…

Zevien fell into thought after talking with Touma, ‘should I call Vernisia for this experiment? It’s not dangerous anymore, but….’

After thinking for a few minutes, Zevien called Vernisia to his dorm.

After five minutes, Vernisia knocked on the dorm’s main door, and he went to open it. She was in sports clothes since it was time for the morning training on the ground.

“Hi, what did you want to talk about,” Vernisia said with a smile as she entered inside.

Zevien grabbed her hand and took her to his room. They sat down on the bed as Zevien grabbed both of her hands and said with a somber expression, “you know about the experiment I went through, right? Do…do you want to go through it?”

Vernisia’s eyes instantly shone as she repeatedly nodded, “of course! Absolutely! How can I miss this chance to become like you and get stronger?”

Zevien explained the whole thing and told his experience before asking again. But Vernisia’s answer remained the same; she wanted to do this!

Seeing Zevien’s worried expression, Vernisia hugged him tightly as her soft melons pressed against Zevien’s chest, “I want to do this, so don’t become needlessly worried. I can endure whatever pain to be with you. Also, as you said, there’s practically no chance of any mishap. Humph, I am more angry that you took this risk without any basis for success, so you can’t stop me now that there’s no risk this time.”

Zevien wrapped his hands around her as well and nodded, “ok. I know you are strong, stronger than ever now that you also know about your previous life.”

“Wait, let me hug you longer,” Vernisia said with a slight blush, “it feels good.”

Zevien smiled as he felt peaceful in her presence and her hug, “me too. Hehe, I especially feel good in my chest area.”

“Pervert!” Vernisia exclaimed, but she didn’t break the hug.

“I want to tell you something,” Zevien said with a sigh before telling her everything about what happened in the labyrinth and why he wanted to enter again.
