Chapter 7: My Own ______

TIt Was Morning,

The breakfast was at the center of the table.

we were eating breakfast

it was the rabbits we hunted last day.

'technically. Father hunted'

I was sitting at the table.

'there's no mistaking it. It was me who broke the vase.'

"Ares," said mother.

"yes?"

"Did you see my favorite flower vase in your room?"

"No. why?" I said while trembling

"It's missing in your room."

'oh, crap. what have I done.'

"there's no time for that, c'mon."

"Yes, Father"

after getting ready, we went outside

"what are we going to do today?"

I said

"we're climbing that mountain."

"Again?!"

"yes. again"

..

..

"gasp"

breathing heavily

"hah... hah..."

we're now at the top of the mountain

"Now what?" I said

"Now you're going to hunt rabbits by yourself,"

he said

"But you've only just taught me yesterday!"

"you've already learned the aura."

'you just keep punching, you bastard.'

"no, I did not," I said, irritated.

"can't you see that you are not tired anymore?!"

said, father

'now that you mention it, I don't feel tired anymore."

"I'm going to leave you here today.

Just feel the aura. you can do it."

"wait," I said.

suddenly, Father disappeared

..

..

'now what?'

I looked around and surveyed the area.

"no ones here"

"then, let's get started!"

I took my small knife and started preparing a trap.

I used the technique I acquired on the internet

in my past life.

I cut a big stick into four pieces.

I used my clothes as a string to tie them and put the trap where we found the rabbits.

while waiting, I studied how to use aura

'i can't seem to grasp how to use it.'

I focused my brain on what happened last night.

I tried to remember what happened last night.

'i cast fire element that time. maybe I can use it again.'

I focused my mana on my index finger.

"infla.."

I didn't finish the chanting, but I felt the mana flowing out

a small rock floated in the air

it looks like there's zero gravity in it.

"I did it!"

'my very own magic! I did it
