11 Chapter 11: Spells

Words: 2,317

There is no such thing as a good morning that I have heard quite often. It wasn't important to me right now because I woke up two hours early and felt great.

Albedo (B) (4%)

The speed of assimilation went up by three percent for the day.

Still, Tony Stark's assimilation shows that the more I work with technology, the faster the assimilation progresses with him.

Furthermore, these four percents were sufficient for me to sense both earth and magic.

I didn't have any core inside my body. Why would I need one if Albedo was a homunculus grown with an innate sense of magic and his element?

That's where the problems start.

I thought that four percent should be enough to start using exactly what I've been thinking about for the past few days—magic!

After all, I only knew about magic from reading fiction, but it seemed like an amazing thing with almost endless possibilities.

Then I decided to try elementary earth manipulation magic and took a flower pot in which a flower was growing...

"It's not working."

I came to such a conclusion. I feel as if I can sense the earth in the pot with a sixth sense, but I can't do anything.

Then it hit me because Albedo himself seemed to have been given the blessing of a god to use magic.

When I looked through the Gacha inventory, I found the "Vision," an artifact that allowed me to use elemental magic.

The Vision appeared in my hand, and I felt the limitations were lifted.

I can't say for sure if that's exactly how it was for Albedo himself because Gacha itself could change everything for me.

"Now, this is a different feeling,"

I exhaled when the soil in the pot lifted, and I also felt much better about the parts of the house that are also made of earth.

There's not much seriousness to do in the apartment, but there will be plenty of space for experiments and means for them soon.

Lena and I went to university together in the morning, but we then split up again.

According to the information Cortana got, Lex paid half of the price to get rid of Lena and me in about a week. He will send the other half when the job is done.

There's nothing to worry about for now especially since I will deal with him once and for all tonight.

I knew he would try something, and he truly confirmed that he is an asshole.

Cortana didn't take her eyes off him, so I was more confident in today's operation.

I checked the Group Chat a lot because there was always discussion.

Erina finally swallowed her pride and asked Rias again about some fruits or vegetables from her world that wouldn't be dangerous for a regular person.

In addition, Rias herself was interested in magic from Hermione's world, and now that I can feel magic I'm also curious.

After taking tests with the professors, I returned home with Lena and began experimenting again.

After all, I had a magic wand, but I couldn't make it do anything before.

"I've never felt this result before."

I said this as I felt the wand's handle heat up when it touched my hand. I understood that it was working and suited me.

"Accio"

I said and ignored movement, but the magic directed itself to the wand, and I felt the spell activate.

The pen quickly flew towards me, and I had to catch it in front of me to avoid it hitting my face.

These four percent of human experiences that are familiar with magic helped me a lot. I don't think I could have used wand magic in this way without them.

I didn't remember many spells from Hermione's world and decided to turn to her personally.

Of course, I could check out the Harry Potter book, but it's better to get spells directly from someone who lives in that world.

Anthony (Administrator): Hermione, can you send me some books with spells? I have a wand from your world but I don't remember many spells.

Rias Gremory: Tony-kun, are you a wizard?

Anthony (Administrator): Somewhat, and also partly an alchemist, a swordsman, and a scientist-engineer.

Rias Gremory: You're such a versatile person. Demonic magic in my world is very useful and based on imagination and willpower, but even some spells from her world seem very straightforward to me.

Anthony (Administrator): Your magic is more than useful. Basically, your demonic power lets you make your physical traits stronger many times over. In general, it's very useful and has many different power... which many of the Upper Class don't develop at all.

Rias Gremory: ...As bad as it may sound, I agree... If it weren't for the Group Chat and our conversation, I would still hope for a miracle or my brother.

Rias Gremory: I watched the second season and... I'm speechless. If everything really turns out that way, we need to prepare.

Anthony (Administrator): Are you going to tell your brother about this?

Rias Gremory: I don't see the point. If I tell him directly about the possible future, he will have many uncomfortable questions.

Shinoa Hiragi: There's a certain attraction between you.

Rias Gremory: Shinoa-chan... what are you talking about?

Shinoa Hiragi: About your relationship with Tony-kun, you communicate with each other the most. Well, maybe also with Erina, but she's focused on food.

Anthony (Administrator): By the way, you've been talking a lot lately too. Are you keeping an eye on the new guy in your squad?

Shinoa Hiragi: ...The realization that someone knows your possible future is somewhat troubling. Tony-kun, do you know who I'll lose my virginity to?

Rias Gremory: ...

Anthony (Administrator): No, I don't have that information.

Hermione Granger: I'm back in the Group Chat and see a pervert...

Hermione Granger: Yes, I can send books of spells for the first, second, and third years. Please return them after reading them.

Anthony (Administrator): No problem.

Hermione Granger: Sent a message to "Anthony (Administrator)" via personal mail.

I saw a popup window and clicked on it, and then three books appeared. Three big books emerged in front of me as soon as I mentally clicked on them.

"Can you scan and record all the important spells from these books?"

I asked aloud, then selected a nanosuit from the Gacha inventory, and it appeared next to me.

"Do you want me to use a high-tech nanosuit as a printer?"

Cortana's sounded.

"Well, I don't need anything printed, but saving it on the laptop's hard drive would be fine. It's not difficult for you, is it?"

I replied.

"No, it's not difficult."

I heard a snap of fingers... she probably does it for effect, or I don't even know why she needs it.

After that, the suit started to move, and I took the books from my hands while beginning to scan each page, and I returned to the Group Chat.

Anthony (Administrator): Thanks a lot, Hermione. I'll return them as soon as I finish scanning.

Hermione Granger: You're scanning them?

Anthony (Administrator): Sent a photo.

The photo showed the nanosuit standing in the middle of the room, and light from its visors was shining on the book it held in its hands.

Anthony (Administrator): I think it won't take much time. Do you want anything in return? Feel free to ask.

Hermione Granger: How did you get the wand from... from my world? I mean, are you also a wizard? Does magic work on the same principle?

Shinoa Hiragi: Now I understand why her name was originally "KnowItAll."

Anthony (Administrator): She's just very curious.

Anthony (Administrator): Hermione, I got the wand from the Dimensional Store. I have access to items from your worlds. I just decided to try it, and it worked for me apparently because of the wand. I've only used one spell, "Accio." And yes, I'm also a wizard and quite powerful. At least Dumbledore and Voldemort shouldn't be a problem for me.

I sent it to them and then paused for a moment.

I sent the truth mixed with my guesses because when assimilation reaches hundred percent, I seriously doubt these two wizards can do anything to me.

Of course, unless I fall into some trap and get hit with a killing curse.

After all, Avada Kedavra kills the soul from the body, and I don't even know what will happen if that spell hits me.

Does Albedo's capabilities be enough to protect my soul? After all, some spells are broken in Harry Potter.

Superman and some demons from Rias' world can be killed by killing curses.

I don't think the stronger demons can resist, but they do have demonic power and an aura that can quite possibly resist.

Anthony (Administrator): Magic doesn't quite work on the same principle, but there are many similarities. For example, magic is also inherited from relatives, parents, and so on in your world. However, those kinds of people are not entirely human in my world. They're not Homo Sapiens but have a parallel bloodline called Homo Magus. Also, wands aren't needed to cast spells here. I'm just curious about magic in your world, that's all. I don't need a wand for that. I can cast spells without it. In fact, I'm best at Earth magic when I don't use words or movements.

Hermione Granger: Are you exaggerating?

Anthony (Administrator): Hermione, you still don't realize how powerful creatures can be? In Rias' world, there are many beings for whom blowing away a whole mountain is as easy as blowing a strand of your hair out of your face. In other words, it's very easy. There are plenty of such beings in my world, too, and those who can also destroy the planet.

Hermione Granger: I... I need to think.

Hermione Granger: Left the Group Chat

After spending some more time in the chat, chatting with Rias and Shinoa, I decided to focus on magic.

After using magic, my assimilation with Albedo increased from four percent to five.

From the experiments, I learned that I couldn't use magic from Hermione's world without a wand.

Of course, a wandless equivalent was created, but I don't know how to do it yet.

Whatever works with a wand is fine. I tried it out on the word I needed most at the time, which was Confundus.

I chose to test the spell on someone later to make sure it really does work.

"Alexander Luthor returned from the meeting and is quite displeased."

Cortana told me while I was currently in the nano suit and walking around the room to get used to the sensations.

"There were two phones at the meeting, so I could hear what they were saying. The investors are upset that "Superman" was able to escape again during one of the fights with government helicopters. The latest news from LexCorp didn't help, and stocks went down a little.

"And is that the only reason? They're just greedy for money."

I said quickly, scanning the reports sent to me on Cortana's suit visors.

The projected losses would be around a hundred and eighty million dollars, but it isn't much, and it's the cost of one and a half of LexCorp's latest planes.

The projected losses would be around a hundred and eighty million dollars.

This is a small amount of money, equal to the price of one and a half of LexCorp's latest planes.

However, the company's reputation will also suffer a bit due to the contact with the military and the results.

Nevertheless, Lex surely understands that this is just the government's attempt to exert slight pressure on him.

After all, military forces have been hunting the "Superboy" spot for years and haven't succeeded yet.

I slipped out the window while turning on the stealth mode, and it was exhilarating.

My actions clearly accelerated my pulse.

After all, I was already stronger than an average person due to Albedo, and now with the suit...

I easily went to the roof of the building and leaped between buildings while covering tens of meters in a single bound.

The stealth mode wasn't perfect—my nano suit made me noticeable during the day, but it was night, and I was using a Muggle-Repelling Charm.

I don't know if they'll work, and Cortana made sure no camera caught me. I descended to the ground near the company's main building in the center of Metropolis.

Then I went to an alley where some obvious criminals talked about how they wanted to go to Gotham, known as the "paradise for criminals."

"Hey, what the hell... am I the only one seeing this?"

One of the three guys rubbed his eyes while looking in my direction, so I deactivated the stealth mode and appeared almost in front of them.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Another guy turned around and looked at me for a while as if through me, but then his eyes filled with awareness that someone was standing in front of them.

"Confundus."

I quietly said this while pointing the wand at one of them and repeating the spell two more times.

They didn't have time to understand about what they were doing before they just stood there and stared ahead.

"You want to help your city and start a new life without crime."

I said, and each of the three repeated my words.

Soon, they seemed to regain a sense of purpose, so I activated the stealth mode again and disappeared.

The three of them stood in place for a while longer and then began to talk to each other about the idea that came to their minds about helping the city.

Well, that works.

I just doubt it will work against people with strong wills, but the fact of disorientation will definitely be there thanks to magic.
