Chapter 51: Ch 51
Real world-2010 A.D
'With my first life and time spent in Reverse side, I should be 90 years old now. Time sure flies' Cael thought as he opened the door and shouted
"Maria, José. How are you children doing?"
José opened the door, and seeing Cael freaked him out "What happened to you? No! Who are you? You are not him"
He immediately activated his circuits and a soul tried to pin Cael down while, He has a sci-fi-looking pistol which Cael remembered giving to him for self-defense.
However, the soul just froze. While, the gun shut down completely.
Cael praised José "That's a good observation but I'm your Mentor and that mystic code won't work on me, remember because I give it to you?"
José believed him after seeing the pistol shut down.
"Right, It's really you. It's just, your soul is completely different, I don't feel like it's 'you' but a different person"
"It's a side effect of a spell gone wrong. I could have died, this side effect could be considered safe" Cael told Half-truths as it is too much hassle to create lies.
Who's gonna believe a man who just went away and returned after like one day and he said he spent 20 years in another world?
"Mr. Magician, you are back. You said you would teach me magic" Maria popped out of her room seeing Cael.
"Yes, Yes, Maria. I will definitely teach you"
José however is not happy with the decision "Wait! You can't teach her. It's painful and she's just 9. Besides, what if she doesn't have magic circuits? Won't she be disappointed"
"She has 18 magic circuits and they are natural. So, it's safe. She's extremely compatible with magecraft, she can just will it and mysteries will happen"
Cael showed his memory of what she did to a flower pot on a screen to José.
"It's better if I teach her to control than someone else finding her natural circuits. Remember what I said about the consequences of your psychic ability secret getting out? If she's found out by the Association, she'll have a fate worse than yours. They'll use her like breeding stock. Do you want that to happen?"
José sighed "To be a magus is to walk with death"
"It's good that you remember that saying but you can just take Maria after you graduated to somewhere safe like America or Australia. Remember? I brought you here to help with your psychological issue in return for studying your ability"
"Then, why did you join me in that snake pit?"
"To show you that the supernatural side is extremely dangerous. Besides, those folks at Clocktower will chew me out if they find I'm teaching you, an ordinary man with no lineage. I have annoyed some people there"
"Brother, don't you like magic? Why are you angry with Mr. Magician?" Maria yelled at José, she may not understand English but she can tell José is angry.
"Magic is dangerous, Maria" José explained slowly to Maria who is still stubborn. As a kid, she just likes magic.
"But, I can do safe magic. Mr. Magician has shown it" Maria used the secret technique of kids, puppy eyes.
José seeing that he can't convince anymore, gave up "Alright, but be extremely careful"
Cael spent teaching Maria basics like the difference between Magecraft and True Magic and basic enhancement etc.
While also curing José's psychological issues. He had to use his main body to solve his issue of creating a new common sense in his psyche. With his advanced mage craft, it is quite easy for his original body outside reality.
After two weeks, his homunculi came to the place he was living in.
"Beta, you take care of the kids. Gamma, Delta, and Lamda, you guys come with me."
The homunculi accepted his orders. He asked them to forge a new identity and life for him before meeting him.
Since the homunculi completed the tasks. He took the next course of action.
In a remote area in the Arctic.
"This area is excellent"
Cael created a bounded field to conceal the space and used Logic magecraft to make sure, anything that happens inside of it won't affect the outside.
In the middle of the Bounded field, he transmuted an Anti-Nuclear Frotress with Alchemy.
Then he conjured an excellently efficient nuclear power plant inside of it with his modifications and grasp on technology. Generating GW's of power.
After that part, an array of 100 huge modified Railguns and 100 huge modified steam guns. Each Gun can only hold one bullet. But, their firepower is devastating.
He connected them to the power supply and steam supply of his Nuclear power generator.
Creating a room with vast space, he Summoned his Holy Grail.
"Oh, Holy Grail, Grant me my wish, create a Magnum bullet that can only be used by me and it can destroy anyone or anything be it a spirit, living or nonliving being. I should have control over it"
With his supply of magical energy, the wish is granted and a Bullet appeared inside the Holy Grail.
"Great, now create a quadrillion of these bullets and fill this room"
The room quickly filled with Bullets.
He loaded his steam guns and rail guns.
After that, he used logic magecraft to enchant the Rail guns and Steam guns to refill ammo from the room in case a shot is fired.
"That should cover my offensive power. Gamma, Monitor the powerplant just in case something happens. Delta, you are responsible for the Steam Gun's maintenance. Lambda, Rail Gun. Any questions?"
"No, Master. We will follow your orders" The homunculi replied.
Being on the reverse side, he enjoyed the freedom to do whatever he like with Magic and Magecraft. Creating new worlds on a whim, new spells that can do anything.
However, once he stepped into this reality. He felt heavy suppression to his magecraft, only after he returned he remembered how annoying and taxing it is to enact magecraft in Age of Man.
In Other words, His Magical abilities and spells dropped from EX Rank to C Rank.
Except for his material transmutation, spirit magecraft, and Arcane Magic.
Everything else is heavily weakened to the point most spells won't even work due to the rules of the world. The spells that work like his Blood magecraft and all are not strong enough for him after he used Over the top spells like world creation spells.
it is better to be practical like Railguns and such for offensive firepower.
Cael's main firepower is his spells. If he used Arcane Magic, Counterforce will notice him instantly and may try to hunt him. Using transmutation openly will gather unnecessary attention.
So, Cael choose an altered but practical method to increase his firepower.
Guns.
With a twist of course. As long as he is on land. He can shoot these bullets on his enemies and all he has to do is point his finger or even just see them and think which bullet he wants to shoot.
After completing his preparations, he waited for 2 weeks to meet with Obera.
During this time, he Informed Obera beforehand that he would like to be called as 'Christian' and that he will change his appearance to maintain anonymity to which she agreed. She told him a secret code to himself when he met her.
"It's time" Cael covered his right hand with special gloves and equipped his mantle of invisibility. He also equipped special shoes, that looked ordinary but they are a type of mystic code made from special element.
Cael decided to not use his mystic eyes unless he was in a dire situation.
In a mansion surrounded by forest.
Obera Gniwrevlis saw a handsome guy waiting for her outside the mansion. She saw that face for the first time but seeing that unnatural beauty, she knows only one magus can fit the description.
A woman with a book and a gothic sling bag in a black frock seeing Obera looking outside, asked "Is he the magus from Clocktower you mentioned?"
"Yes, he's creative. I checked his background, he's a well-accomplished magus "
The woman said, "He's a threat, Say o
Obera, if he tries anything funny on me, a witch, will you kill him for me?"
Obera understood her concerns, as witches are despised especially in the clock tower. So, she replied
"Don't worry, he's a member of the Neutral faction and I don't think he will care about you being a witch. But, Yes, I will kill him if he crossed the line. "
After affirming her safety, Obera asked "Now, why don't you tell me why he's a threat? I'm curious that the great witch Gresel feels threatened by a mere Magus"
Gresel replied in a monotonous tone
"I'm not scared nor great. As for why he's a threat, he's able to approach this mansion with no difficulty whatsoever. I placed a spell on this mansion to protect you from the assassins. Unless I lit the pathway, no one should be approaching this place"
Obera said "I forgot to mention that he's also full of surprises. Anyway, this only shows he's competent and useful for this mission"
Obera asked for the secret Code and confirmed his Identity.
