Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

249 A Talk About The Past

—–

“Yeah! Don’t compare yourself with Sylphy so much, you’ll always end up losing because she’s awesome.” Said Aquarina with a cocky smile. I’ve never liked how she brags about me being “awesome” to Zack all the time, but I think Zack has stopped caring about it by now.

“Yeah, yeah, I know...” Sighed Zack. “Sylphy has always been pretty amazing.” Zack looked at me as he agreed to Aquarina, making her feel a bit confused. Zack seemed to smile back at me, as his eyes were filled with bright light. Isn’t he cute when he smile?

“W-What...? Stop praising me so much, we are friends, you’re not like my subordinates or something!” I said.

“Hahaha! I guess you already got two loyal friends for the rest of your life, didn’t you?” Giggled my mother. “I am sure you three will make an amazing party in the future... Oh well, maybe you’ll need some other additions.”

“Maybe we can find more friends along the way.” I said. “We still need someone that could use other elements... And a specialized supporter or healer...”

“You’re asking for too much, you should get happy we get a new friend.” Said Zack.

“Okay, I will!” I sighed. “The Amazon kids seem to be on their own world by now, and most of the are way older than us so I guess they don’t feel like getting together with us...”

Amazon usually took a long time to have new kids, so the youngest kids were Aquarina and Zack, the rest were almost all teenagers above 13 years, although they were still “kids” they saw us like walking babies, despite how powerful we could be, so they didn’t get along with us. It was fine, it didn’t hurt my feelings at all! ...Y-Yeah.

.....

“Anyways, enough of talking about my past, I guess we should really resume what we were doing just now... All three of you, did you learn the formula? Although all three of you seem to have different elemental affinities, you should be able to still conjure low-tier spells of other elements than your affinities. So today I had decided in teaching you some spells from magic that none of you has yet to use, Darkness.” Said my mother.

“Couldn’t Shade teach us Darkness Magic better?” Wondered Zack.

“Shade? Hahaha, don’t make me laugh, I taught him everything about Dark Magic.” Said my mother. “He just learned it and perfected it on his own unique way, I doubt he can actually teach it to you because what he uses cannot be learned by anybody, it is his own “unique way” of using magic. Most of the heroes were like this, they learned the basics and the pillars of their magic elements from me, but they perfected them on their own, your father, Sylphy, was the same.”

“O-Ohh... So my mother really taught them all, isn’t it?” I asked.

“Yep! I taught both of your parents, Aquarina.” Said my mother.

“A-Amazing, so mama and papa wouldn’t be so awesome without your help?” Asked Aquarina.

“Indeed...! ...Well, I dislike being so cocky about it, but I did teach them the basics, without these basics, they would had had a hard time trying to figure out their powers, making their growth go slower... We didn’t had the time to take it so easy back then.” Said my mother.

“So that’s how it was...” I said while rubbing my chin. “I suppose that you’re indeed the most fitting to each us the basics then! But mommy, did you learned your own unique magic as well?”

“Oh yeah, I did...” She said. “But as I said, it would be something very difficult for you to learn... So for now, it wouldn’t be good to try to teach it to you... Although I know you’re the one that could use it the better, Sylphy. I’ll try to lend you all the spells I’ve ever created as your mother, I know you have the talent to learn all of them.”

“Mom... I will not disappoint you.” I said.

“Well, that’s for later though, for now, as I told you, Darkness Magic is an obscure element of magic, often wielded by special people that is born with this affinity.” Said my mother.

“Is daddy as special person?” Asked Aquarina.

“Haha, of course. He’s a hero, Aquarina.” Said my mother. “He’s the Hero of Shadows... and back then, his personality and how he acted really fitted his element. It is often say that our affinities shape how we are as people, even our natures... Your father was always a reversed man, even when he was young... His past was filled with hardships, and... many things that marked him, turning him into the man he is now. But he had surpassed such traumas that held him back, and he had grown exceptionally as a person. Did you knew that he and my husband used to be rivals? They hated each other!” Laughed my mother.

“Eeeh? Really?! But they’re such good friends now...!” Said Aquarina.

“Yeah. I cannot really see my dad hating him... He’s way too gentle.” I sighed.

“Well, that was before he matured as a man, your father was a very... childish young man, filled with pride because of his family of mercenaries, he disliked the silent and selfish personality of Shade back then, and both usually clashed with long discussions, various times they ended beating one another into the ground... It was always such a mess, I had to stop them because the rest of the heroes just stared dumbly at the fight, Nepheline even cheered for them to continue fighting...” My mother sighed in disappointment of the past of the heroes, I guess everybody has a starting point. Though I wonder how stronger the heroes were back then... I suppose not so strong.

“O-Ohh... Daddy was a kid back then?” Asked Aquarina. ????????????????????????????. c????????

“Yeah- Ah, I guess we shouldn’t go so off-topic, you kids always ask me interesting things, I can’t help but talk about the past...” My mother sighed, looking into the distance where the peaceful grasslands were. “I miss them...”
