Beast Evolution

Ray wanted to drop the book then he thought of something, he took the book and went to one of the chairs in the library and sat down.

He opened the book and glanced through the pages of the book, he was curious about how mages learn spells normally.

The words he saw on the first page of the book were written in a strange language, he couldn't understand a single thing.

He kept opening it till he saw writing that he could understand, he read through the pages as they explained the spell and how to manipulate Mana to perform the spell.

'Hmm, this is interesting, I never had to do any of these things, I'm glad the system made all these easy for me, I'm going to wait till I have enough skill points then I'm going to learn the spell'

Ray closed the book and dropped it back on the shelf where he found it, but he thought of something then he picked up the book again.

'I have Mana right, I wonder if I can be able to learn a spell without the help of the system'

Ray quickly opened back to the page he stopped then he kept reading and opening more pages till he saw pictures, stances, and the rest things needed to cast the spell.

Even if it was a basic tier spell, it wasn't like [Fireball] which could be generated from the hands by ejecting Mana.

For this spell [Ice shield] the mage is needed to touch the ground and eject Mana, then the ice would be created in front of the mage according to the amount of Mana ejected.

'This is strange, when I'm casting [Fireball] I didn't know the amount of Mana I ejected, I just did it'

Ray kept reading through the book and he found much interesting information on casting spells.

Apparently casting a spell totally depends on the Mage's Mana pool, when casting a spell like [Ice shield] a mage with low Mana would only cast a shield big enough to shield himself.

But a mage with a large Mana reserve could create a shield in front of an entire city, same thing apply to all magic spell, a mere basic tier spell could be turned into a super tier spell depending on the mage that cast the spell.

Ray kept the book in front of himself and tried to practice the spell then he heard footsteps and saw Gabriel and Leia coming toward him.

"I think we should leave now, the mages are here now," Leia said.

"Yea, so that means they are on break so I'm going to go see my brother," Gabriel said.

"Okay, you guys can go I'm right behind you," Ray said.

"Do you have Ice attribute?" Leia whispered in Ray's ears.

"No I don't" Ray replied.

"Then why are you trying to learn an Ice spell"

"I'm just testing something, I'm not trying to learn it," Ray said.

"Okay then, see you later" Leia and Gabriel left Ray and exited the library.

Ray looked closely at the image and tried to study all that was drawn and written in the book, but he didn't know if he was doing the right thing or the wrong one, he didn't even know if he could learn the spell without help from the system.

Ray kept looking at the book till he saw someone walking towards him, he didn't look up to see who it was but he knew it wasn't Leia or Gabriel.

Ray thought it was just one of the mages passing by but the figure stopped in front of Ray.

"Hi, I didn't expect to see you here"

Ray recognized the voice, it was the blond girl that he always saw at libraries, this would be their third meeting and it was still in a library.

"Hi... Alice right" Ray smiled.

"Yes, I'm really confused"

"About what?" Ray asked.

"Anytime I see you in a library, you are always looking at spell books, and you said you were a knight, then how did you get into the academy"

"Oh, I came here with my instructors, the senior knights came to see someone here so I tagged along with two of my classmates" Ray answered.

​ "So your instructors came all the way from Bullmar academy to see someone here in Avalon..." Alice looked at Ray with a dazed expression.

"No, the instructors came to Avalon for an important matter, but it's not now so we had time," Ray said.

"Is my brother part of them?"

"Yes," Ray answered.

"That means he came to see her, I hope he doesn't screw it up," Alice said.

'What is she saying, well that's none of my business so I won't ask'

"I have a question to ask you, and I want you to be honest with me"

"Sure, what is it"

"Are you a mage, or do you want to be a mage?" Alice asked with a smile on her face.

Ray chuckled slightly before answering her, Alice sat comfortably on another chair beside Ray.

"I find magic interesting, I'm a knight so definitely I can't use magic, but still I find magic fascinating so the little time I get I use it to look at spell books," Ray said.

"I can see you really like magic, too bad you can't use magic, you would have been a great mage," Alice said.

"Yeah, I would have... now that you are here can I ask you some questions?"

"Yes sure," Alice said.

"What attribute do you have?"

"I have Lightning attribute, why do you ask"

"I thought you had Ice attribute, I wanted to ask if you could cast this spell," Ray said.

"Oh, I can't"

"Lightning attribute is rare right, I haven't even heard of it before, but I've seen it," Ray said.

"You haven't heard of it, but you have seen it, why do you keep confusing me," Alice said.

"I didn't see it in real life, I had a dream where I saw someone using lightning to fight off beasts," Ray said.

'I totally forgot about the first dream I had, but in the dream the lightning user was a boy, and I died' Ray's eyes widen as he thought of it.
