Reborn 6

The second day.

When Kyle woke up, Tyler was gone, so he got ready and left. Kyle met up with Micky at the door and then went to the cafeteria.

"My roommate is such a dork." Kyle said as they walked across the grass.

"Hehe, want me to take care of them?" Micky said, putting his fist in his palm.

"You'd really do that for me?" Kyle asked.

"Sure bro, I just need one thing."

"What's that?"

"Placide from Basic Fire Magic." Micky said, seriously.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah man, I can't let you be the only one with two girls."

'I need to pay more attention in class... nah' Kyle thought to himself as he kept walking. He had zoned out only a few minutes into class and did not listen to anything. If not for telekinesis, Kyle would not be able to stand sitting for half an hour even. "Okay, you can have her." Kyle said, as if giving away his daughter.

"Nice, just come back to your room about.... two hours after classes end and he should be primed." Micky said.

"Have you done this before?"

"A few times." Micky answered Kyle. Kyle would have been fine beating Tyler up himself, but if Micky could disguise himself and do it, it would be even better for him.

Kyle and Micky went to the cafeteria to get breakfast and got a table and waiting for Jocelyn, Florianne and Beth to come to their table. Beth was the first the come, and she sat on Kyle's left. A few minutes later Jocelyn and Florianne came out of the line together and Jocelyn sat next to Micky and Florianne on the right of Kyle. There were more girl's than boys, so it took them longer to get to the cafeteria.

"So this is going to be your first class of Ethics?" Florianne asked Kyle as they both ate their food.

"Yeah, but I think I will be fine if everyone is there." Kyle said. He knew all about the ethics of using magic. 'Don't hurt people or animals, kill monsters quickly, don't replace people's jobs.' This was what he was told when he was learning magic. One off projects could be done with magic, but for the progression of society, if something could be done without magic it was best to find a way to do it and do it easily so it could be done in the future without a mage.

"You are just going to sleep through it." Beth said.

"Yeah, that's right. Don't try to lie, you will too." Kyle said, turning to his left.

"Well, there should be empty seats for you two in the back." Jocelyn said across the table. Jocelyn held onto Micky's right and as she ate with her right, and Micky ate with his left even though he was right handed. Beth and Florianne did not imitate this childishness today.

When they finished eating, they had a few minutes before the first class started and they walked to the classroom. When they entered the room, Beth went to the back of the room by the window like how Kyle had sat in their class in Thornberry. Kyle took the seat to the right of her, and Florianne was in front of Kyle. Jocelyn was to the right of her and Micky to the right of Jocelyn.

The professor walked into the room and looked around. "I see we have falls-from-clock-tower here today. You didn't really miss anything, just..." But that was too much for Kyle and he was gone.

"Kyle wake up." Beth was shaking Kyle's back as he slept through class.

"What?" He said, trying to wake up.

"It's time for the next class." Beth said as she moved towards the door.

"Oh, right." Kyle got up from his desk and took the papers he was given. Kyle did not have a case for the paper, so he could see how if it rained they would get messy.

"Wait, where are you going?" Beth asked Kyle as he started following Florianne who was also waiting for him. Jocelyn and Micky had gone to their separate classes already.

"I have Healing next, remember?" Kyle said back.

"You aren't going to walk with me to my next class?"

Kyle stood there for a few seconds and did not know what to do. Walking with Florianne was the most efficient option, they both had the same class next, but that would meaning ignoring Beth. Walking with Beth was least reasonable one. She had her next class in another building and while it would not take too long, he would be going with Beth just to spend time with her, right in front of Florianne. There was no winning.

"Kyle needs to get to his class too." Florianne said as she took a step and pulled Kyle.

"... Fine, but you have stay for longer this time." Beth said as she walked away.

"What does she mean stay longer?" Florianne asked as they walked to the Healing classroom.

"It's just a thing between us." Kyle said.

"Then, do you want to get something to eat inside the city today?" Florianne asked him as she pulled his arm a little harder.

"I can't today, but how about we go out all Saturday?" Kyle asked, turning the tables on Florianne.

"Really all day?"

"Yep, I'll wait outside the dorm first thing in the morning."

"Fine, but in 4 days you have to be there or I won't forgive you." Florianne told Kyle.

"Alright, it's a promise."

Healing was boring. While the upper class jumped at the chance to use healing magic on a real world patient, Basic Healing was not so quick. They had the basic call for Heal, but now they were talking about medical things. Like how certain body parts pulled on other ones, and how certain ones protected others from rubbing against each other. 'This class could use a masochist.' Kyle thought to himself as he thought about how they were going to test their ability to actually use the healing magic. Unlike the other types that produced something, Healing could only be seen from the effects it showed on someone. This was the same for Status magic, but it was a forgotten art, or a specialty to the 5 heroes.

You had to know about what part of the body was being healed for the Heal spell to work, or it would just take large amount of mana and heal everything. This was true for all healing spells, and the Dispel and Cure Kyle used on Gorsha were limited to ones that effected reproduction. Regrow was the healing spell of choice for most healing mages because it would make everything come back better than before and bones setting correctly would not be an issue.

"[Heal], do you feel anything?" Florianne asked Kyle as they were paired up. [NAME] is the abbreviated form for writing a spell to be called. The spell name inside of [ ] was assumed to be preceded with a call.

Kyle could not feel anything from the spell and shook his head. "I think it is just because I am really healthy, so there is not much to fix on me."

"Alright, you give it a try." Florianne said as she prepared for Kyle to cast the spell.

"[Heal]" Kyle said, using the whole call. He did not use calls for when he was alone, but he had used calls with his spells for over a dozen years. He knew all of them by heart. Plus, it was written on the board.

"Oh wow, I really feel it." Florianne said as she poked herself over the robe.

"What, Kyle actually got the spell to work?" One of the students said, turning to Florianne's direction.

"Yeah, Kyle is so smart."

"Hey Alban got it to work too." One of the students said. Alban was the name of the only other boy in the class.

"Wow, boys have it so easy." The girls who were looking in the direction of Kyle then looked at Alban and went back to their seats.

"Florianne, just think of the skin as being a long and flat onion. When it breaks, it falls apart, but when you push it together the little juices squeeze out of it a little. Then, the outside grows over it an it becomes whole again." Kyle said, moving is hands into two fist pressed against each other, then pulling them apart and making them flat, then locking the fingers together.

"Okay, I'll think of that. [Heal]" Florianne cast the spell again and Kyle could feel the magic looking for something to fix inside of him. Even though the spell did no damage, all spells could be felt if they were cast on someone.

"I felt it too!" Kyle said.

"Yeah!" Florianne said with an accomplished expression.

A few more people were able to get the healing spell to work before class finished, and they left the classroom. Florianne and Kyle went to the cafeteria and got their lunch, then sat down with Micky, Jocelyn, and Beth.

They all chatted and ate lunch, then Jocelyn Micky and Kyle went to their Basic Earth Magic class. In this class, they used the Form spell to create objects from rock. Mostly spheres of different sizes, but some were not able to make the spell. Micky and Jocelyn were both able to made spheres and were partnered up and making martial arts movements. "It's full of power!" Micky said as he moved his hands in a circle after saying the call and forming a circle that floated in air.

Next was Basic Fire Magic and everyone was able to make a flame. Fire was the most understood magic and even those that did not go to magic school could use Flame. Micky and Kyle paired up and chalanged each other to who could make the biggest flame. Kyle kept increasing his little by little to stay bigger than Micky.

"You are going to have a talk with my roommate Tyler?" Kyle asked as him and Micky left the classroom.

"Yeah, just come back at like 7 or something." Micky said. "I'll see you later." and then Micky was gone.

Kyle was going to see Beth after the class and went to where her class was. The halls had many students in them, and it made Kyle think that maybe having 7 years of students was not very efficient. Beth was waiting at her classroom entrance and greeted Kyle when he came over.

"Kyle, do you want to get something to eat before we go back?" Beth asked as she walked forward to join him in the hallway.

"Yeah, I forgot to get something the other night and I was really hungry in the morning." Kyle said, putting his hand on his stomach.

"Gosh, I got dinner a few minutes after you left." Beth and Kyle went to the cafeteria and got dinner food and sat for the first time without the rest of the gang.

Then they both went back to Beth's room, Kyle with his invisibility, and Kyle tried to teach Beth some more spells. Beth was taking Basic Lightning Magic during second period, and they were teaching them the spell Light. Beth already knew Light so with some faking she made it work on her second try. Lightning was almost as hard as Healing to understand because it was very powerful in the short term. Kyle taught Beth the spell Shock which would produce a wave of electricity through the air.

"Everything has lightning in it." Kyle said to Beth. "All living things do, and even non-living things have some. Have you ever seen something get hit with lightning?" Kyle then asked?

"No, I haven't."

"Well, when something is hit with lightning it usually catches on fire, and when it is a person they are unable to move." Kyle tried to explain. "That is because the lightning inside the object gets disrupted by the lightning from the sky. For the lightning spell, you are capturing all the tiny lightning parts to make a big one in your hand and then send it out."

Beth visualized the tiny lightning in her body and then condensed it. "[Shock]" Beth was able to shoot a bolt of lightning out a little past her hand.

"Whoa!" Beth exclaimed. She could feel the power being moved in the air.

"That was really good!" Kyle told her. "Now to make it bigger, just think about the tiny lightning that is always in the air being a path for your lightning. Lightning goes very fast, so it will have to be a more or less straight line or it will fissile out."

"This is so cool!" Beth said as she started to call the spell again.

"Are you talking to someone in there?" Kristen said who had just come to the door, which was closed and locked.

"I'm not, just practicing some magic." Beth said as she shooed Kyle into the corner again and Kyle went invisible. Beth then opened the door and let Kristen in. Kyle cast Silence on himself and prepared to leave the room, but Kristen was standing in the middle of it and he could not get around her. Kyle stayed in the corner and could not get out.

"Second day was so much better than first. I just got back from showing my friend the wind magic. [Gust]." Kristen made the call for an easy wind spell and forced wind from her hand.

"Yeah, that's cool." Beth said, not really caring much.

"Hey, you need to lighten up." Kristen said to Beth as she plopped down on her bed after closing the door.

"[Light]" Beth made the call for the Light spell and it shown in the room.

"That's not what I meant." Kristen said. "You should my friends and me into town tomorrow. It would be better than just sitting up here all day." Kristen then told Beth.

"I'm fine." Beth said and started reading a book. The library allowed one book to be taken out by students for 2 weeks, but it could be extended for up to a month.

"You can't just read books all the time.[Gust]" Kristen laid in the bed and cast another wind spell.

"Sure I can." Beth said to Kristen, still unaware that Kyle was in the room. Kyle walked over to Beth's side and put his finger over her book and then made just the tip become visible. Beth was startled but quickly got it under control.

"What is it?" Kristen asked her.

"Nothing. I just have to go pee." Beth put the book down and moved to the door. She opened the door and walked out, leaving it open.

"I'll see you in the morning when we eat." Kyle said as he was still invisible and walked away.

In the boys dorm, Roscoe was moving all around the halls.

"rurururu doing?" Roscoe asked Kyle as they past each other.

"I was just getting something to eat and now i'm coming back." Kyle replied and Roscoe looked at Kyle's ribbon. Kyle was room 72.

"rurururu trouble rururu room." Roscoe said. It was a mystery how Roscoe got any job that required him speaking to people.

"Oh, okay." Kyle said, not really able to understand what was happening, but he figured something happened concerning his room. Roscoe went with Kyle to the 2nd floor and then to room 72. The insides of the room were trashed.

"What happened her?" Kyle asked Roscoe.

"ruru kids rururu attacked rururu Tyler." Roscoe was able to get out.

"Oh, he probably deserved it." Kyle walked into the room and started to move things around. There was a lamp on the floor that he put right side up and that was it. Everything else that was thrown around belonged to Tyler.

Tyler did not come back to the room that night and Kyle got peaceful sleep after taking a shower. The next few days when without interruption and it was finally Saturday. Kyle promised to spend the whole day with Florianne and explained to Beth that he was going to so that Florianne would not request him after classes.

"Are you ready?" Florianne asked as they came to the gates to exit the school.

"Yep." Kyle said to her.

"Alright then, today is just going to be me and you, so if you see anyone don't even think about going up to them." Florianne said. She was serious, because she was a rival to Beth, and did not want any more women coming from the woodwork.

Florianne and Kyle went to a cafe for breakfast and it was high quality. Florianne paid for it again like the last time they ate.

"Florianne, what kind of business do your parents have?" Kyle asked her.

"My mom and dad are both healing mages in my town. They get a lot of coins for their work and sent me to the Mage School so that I could learn powerful healing spells like them." Florianne said while eating.

"So you are going to be a healing mage when you leave the magic school?"

"Yeah, It might not be exciting as being an adventurer, but it will provide good money and it'l be safe."

"Adventurer... I wonder if there is an adventurer's guild in this city."

"I doubt it, but there is probably one for monster slaying." Florianne answered Kyle's wondering.

"Monster Slaying Guild? Sounds cool." Kyle said as he looked up. When he was last alive, major cities had adventurer's guilds, but not monster slaying guilds.

"Yeah, the 1,800 years of peace the empire was able to fully explore the land inside the borders so the only adventurer's guilds are in the north now, but shouldn't you know this?" Florianne looked at Kyle questioningly.

"Well I fall asleep in class a lot." Kyle said, looking down at his plate of food. 'Maybe I shouldn't have slept through history class.' he thought. Even though Kyle spent a long time in the library, he forgot most of it and only skimmed over parts to understand the gist of things.

Almost nothing from his time applied concerning factions and the lords of regions. Only the generic names still existed but nothing was there to tie them down to the factions he knew from 3,000 years ago. 'Some elves I knew might still be alive...' Kyle thought. Some High Elves could live for 5,000 years, but most died from diseases or in battle long before that. The elder of the Elvish capital was over 2,000 years old though. Normal Elves could live for hundreds of years, and low elves lived as long as humans, but still had the same magical affinity that all other elves had.

"Yeah I know." Florianne laughed. Both Kyle and Beth would be asleep every Ethics class, and in Healing Kyle did not pay much attention. "Don't you even want to learn magic?" She asked.

"I'd rather learn about you." Kyle said as he reached over and held Florianne's hands and looked at her face. Florianne instantly looked down and turned bright red. 'Sensory overload!' Kyle yelled in his mind.

Kyle let go of Florianne and kept eating like nothing happened. Florianne went back to eating a few minutes later and then they left.

"Let's go in here." Florianne said and they went into a clothing store. Florianne looked at somethings and showed them to Kyle, then bought a few things and had Kyle hold them for her. They next went to a tailor and got some things. Kyle wanted a mask, and Florianne got it for him even though she did not know what he wanted it for. They then went into another clothing store and Kyle got a cloak. Florianne once again did not know what Kyle wanted with a brown mask and darker brown cloak, but she still got them for him with the condition that he pays her back.

Florianne and Kyle spent the rest of the day walking around the city and got lunch between stores and diner later then went back to the magic school.

The next day was Sunday, and it was a free day too. Most students used the free days to practice their spells in the back area behind the the school, but today Kyle was going to do something else. He put on the cloak and the mask and used invisibility to go into town.

Kyle went looking for the Monster Slaying Guild and found it in the 3rd district area.

"Hello, I would like to register with the guild." Kyle said to the receptionist.

"Okay, you just need to fill out this form and hand it back to me." The receptionist said and gave Kyle a paper and pen, and Kyle stepped to the side and started to fill it out.

"Do I need to fill this all out?" Kyle asked the receptionist. There were a few things he did not want to put.

"You will be able to be hired for jobs if you fill out everything, but do not lie. If anything is found to be untrue then you will not be able to get a guild membership again." The receptionist told him.

Kyle did not want to put his name down, but the chances of someone recognizing him from seeing his face was slim, and the chance from seeing his name on the paper was even lower. The mask removed the threat of the first one, so Kyle would be able to write whatever he wanted on the paper.

Kyle put down 'Master Blaster' as his name, but for his magic put Fire Ice Lightning and for his weapon Sword. He did not put anything for his race or his age. The receptionist then looked at the paper and pulled out another one.

"This is a status plate. Just place a drop of blood on this and it will complete the procedure." The receptionist said as she held it to Kyle along with a small blade. Kyle cut his finger and let the blood drip onto the plate and it shone blue.

"Good that completes the registration process. Your current guild rank will be G, and from F E D C B and A you can rank up. At each level you can take monster slaying quest one higher rank than your current one, or any lower rank."

"Can I take a quest right now?" Kyle asked the receptionist.

"Yes. What kind of monster would you like to slay?" The receptionist asked.

"Anything that needs to be cleared from the F rank." Kyle said.

"I saw that you did not put an age on your registration, are you sure you want to take a random monster?" The receptionist asked. They were worried Kyle would die because he looked young, at least by height.

"I am certain." Kyle said, and the receptionist reluctantly took a quest from behind the counter.

"Kill 5 Gabears to the south. Time, 3 days. Reward, 2,000 coins." The receptionist read from the card. Luckily the monsters had not changed in 3000 years, and Kyle knew what these were. They were just larger than average bears and one 3 times larger than the others. Easy.

"That will be great. What proof do I need to bring back?" Kyle asked. The adventurer's guild required things to be taken back as proof, so the Monster Slayer guild probably did too.

"You need to bring back all of them." The receptionist said to Kyle.

"I have to bring back the bodies of 5 Gabears?" Kyle asked, shocked. A single Gabear would be at least 3 times the size of him, and 5 would be too much to carry.

"Yes. Most Monster Slayers join a party for taking the monster corpses back if there are a large amount to kill, but you can leave the corpses at the city gate. Trying to reduce diseases in the city and all that." The receptionist said. 'They didn't have us leave them at the gate 3,000 years ago.' Kyle thought as he remembered carrying the heads of monsters down city streets.

Kyle left the monster slayer guild and used invisible and fly to travel south and killed the Gabears with lightning magic. A powerful thunder strike to the top of the gabear killed them quickly. Kyle then used earth magic to bind them together than Gravity to make it weightless and took it to the gate.

"Whoa, what is that?" People could not help but stop in their tracks and look over at the balloon of monster parts floating to the city gate.

"I don't know, but it looks like it would fall at any moment, but it stays up somehow."

"What could be causing it?"

"Do you think it is some kind of magic?"

"It has to be magic."

"Could someone be using the legendary earth spell Gravity?"

"There is no way, that spell has been lost for years."

As people were talking about what magic it could have been, Kyle was walking the ball of Gabear corpses to the gate. There was a line of people waiting for entrance, and a line for people with carts that needed to be searched. Kyle got into the line for just people waiting to come into the city. People were starring the whole time he got closer to the gate and was stopped by the guard.

"What is that?" The guard asked him.

"Those are Gabear corpses. I was told I need to bring these to the gate to get my reward from the monster slayer guild." Kyle told the guard.

"But what is wrong with them?" The guard wanted to know.

"Nothing is wrong. I killed them and used Gravity to make them to make it easier to carry here."

"Well you can put them down over there with that man." The guard pointed Kyle to a man outside of a warehouse that had a wagon outside of it. Kyle walked over to him and spoke to him.

"I have 5 gabear corpses for my guild quest." Kyle used his gravity magic to then make the ball fall a little bit.

"Uh, okay... just set them down in the wagon. Doyce, Breth, count these." The man pointed to to the wagon. He then called two men sitting down to come over and they started to count the heads of gabear in the pile on the wagon.

"It's 5 boss." The man named Doyce called. The man called boss made a note and stamped it, then signed it and gave it to Kyle.

"Just take this to the receptionist at the guild for the reward." The man said and then Kyle went away to the guild.

The walk to the guild had many people looking at Kyle. Some people had started to talk the moment he came through the gate and they were all talking about the person using gravity magic. It was just too uncommon. Kyle made it back to the guild and approached the receptionist.

"I took the 5 gabears to the gate. They gave me this letter and told me to give it to you." Kyle said, handing over the letter. The receptionist was the same person from earlier, and they had a look of shock.

"I might not have believed you if you said it, but this letter proves it. Here are 2,000 coins for a successful quest completion, and i'll go make you a guild membership card." The receptionist handed over 2,000 coins to Kyle who put them in his pocket, and then the receptionist went to make the card. The receptionist came back a few minutes later and handed Kyle the card. "It usually takes a day or two for the first quest to be done."

"Can I get another quest?" Kyle asked the receptionist.

"If you want... We have plenty of quest available. Looks like over 50 from the F rank alone." The receptionist said as they took a stack of cards from under the desk and put them over the desk.

"I'll take this one." Kyle pointed to a card that was worth 1,700 coins and left the guild. Kyle did not go to the outside of the city yet though, he went to a tailor and got a new cloak and mask. The new cloak was black with an sub color of dark red, and the mast was completely black. Kyle used all the money he had gotten from the first quest and then went out to complete the second one.

Using invisibility and fly, Kyle was able to get to the monsters he was tasked to kill very quickly. This method of flying to locations was not practical when Kyle was a hero in his past life, and a carriage was used to bring him and the other 4 heroes to battlefields so they could save their strength. Plus, walking thousands of miles across the demon kingdom was tiring after a while.

This quest only took an hour to complete, and because Kyle started at 8 in the morning, he was able to get done 7 quest in total before he had to go back to the magic school, else someone would get suspicious. Kyle had 9,000 coins as he walked back to the school. Kyle just needed 3 more quest of F rank to become an F rank Monster Slaying Guild member.

Kyle got dinner at the cafeteria and ate alone because he could not see Micky or Beth or Florianne anywhere. Something told him it would be a good idea to not eat alone with himself and Jocelyn, so he didn't look for her. The food was not very high quality, and it was even low quality compared to what he had gotten for lunch that day while posing as Master Blaster in the black cloak, or the day before while with Florianne.

Kyle had put the black cloak and the brown cloak in his room and Tyler was not there, but his half of the room had been cleaned, so he must have come back at some point. Tyler's things were still there, so Micky was not successful in making him move out. The black cloak was put into a case that he had also gotten while out, and the mast was resting inside of it.

The brown cloak and mask, Kyle was going to use that when he was going out to town to use Healing magic on people. It was already storming around the city about a master mage who could use gravity spells, and his name was Master Blaster. Kyle did not want to get the name Master Blaster associated with something like Healing people, but instead destroying. That was why he used the name Master Blaster. He was a master of blasting things. He was not sure the name to use when healing, but it was going to be something soft. 9,000 coins, 800 would be given to Florianne to pay her back, and 200 might be used to get Beth something nice, so he had 8,000 to spend. It was going to be a quick year.
