Vaan drew the Magic Patterns inside his Circle, the Magic Circle shone brightly, it was almost blinding, then, another simr Magic Circle formed right next to the First Circle.
The two Magic Circles shone with different intensities, the first one was brighter than the new one, however, Vaan could feel his Mana being sucked in and could see the second circle getting brighter and brighter, this continued till the two Magic Circles shone with simr intensities.
Then, Vaan saw a pure white chaining out from the center of the first circle, the chain shot toward the second circle, the two circles started rotating and continued to suck Vaan''s Mana.
ραΠdαsΝοvel Vaan panicked a little, he could feel that his Mana was about to run out, and if that happened, everything he did so far would be all for waste and he wouldn''t be able to use Mana for the next 3 days.
This was called ''setback''.
Vaan, however, doubted he would suffer from the setback, both mey and his mother had confirmed it, his Mana Veins should be thick enough to form the 2nd Circle, so although his Mana was being sucked out at a rapid pace, he knew it wouldn''t run out.
And just as he expected, the two circles stopped rotating, the ''chain'' that was formed dispersed into small particles and Vaan could feel the ''connection'' with his second circle.
He was now officially a 2nd Circle Mage.
"mey! I did it!" With an excited look on his face, Vaan turned around to celebrate together with his little friend, however, mey was nowhere to be seen.
"mey?" Vaan frowned.
"Krriiii!"
Then, he heard mey''s voice.
He turned to her direction and,
"Gru…?"
His expression changed as his eyes fell on mey, who held hands with another simrly adorable creature and was trying to bring her together.
The creature had blue hair, and adorable blue eyes that showed her nervousness, a chubby face, and beautiful butterfly-like blue wings behind her back. With the water that was flowing around her, Vaan didn''t have to think, like mey, who was a Fire Spirit, this little creature was a Water Spirit.
When the water spirit''s eyes fell on Vaan who still had his 2 Circles shining brightly, her expression changed,
She then turned towards mey and, "Gruu?" She tilted her big head in confusion.
"Krri Krrri!" mey nodded.
Then, a determined looked appeared on her face as she and mey flew towards Vaan.
"Krri Krri Krri!" mey spoke to Vaan.
"Ah okay." Vaan replied.
No, he had no clue what she was talking about.
He could somewhat understand this little friend of his, however, there were still limitations to it.
"Krri Krri." mey turned towards the Water Spirit.
"Gruu Gurr."
"Krri."
"Guru Gurrrr Gurrr"
"Kirrr."
The two spirits continued to converse with each other for a while, Vaan of course, had absolutely no idea what they were seeing, but since it sounded cute and looked adorable, he continued to watch.
Suddenly, the two spirits moved, mey appeared behind the First Magic Circle and the Water Spirit appeared behind the Second.
"Krri."
"Grru."
The two spirits spoke at the same time and then, the advanced magic circles, the one with 6 Inner Circles formed right behind Vaan''s 2 Magic Circles.
Vaan was surprised, his Mana that has stabilized since his circles weren''t sucking it anymore started being consumed by these 2 Advance Magic Circles the two spirits had formed, another ''chain'' appeared from mey''s circle and shot towards the water spirit''s circle, the ''connection'' was formed and the four circles in front of Vaan finally disappeared.
Vaan''s Mana finally ran out.
"Gru…"
The water spirit looked tired as well.
"Krriii!"
mey turned toward Vaan as she pointed at her mouth and stomach before pointing at the water spirit.
"You want me to feed her…?" Vaan questioned.
"Krrii!" mey nodded. From her expression, it looked like it was urgent.
"A-Alright." Seeing the Water Spirit''s tired expression, Vaan was surprised as well. He quickly absorbed the surrounding Mana, moved it through his Mana Veins, then, he gently moved his finger towards the Water Spirit.
"Gru…?" The Water Spirit tilted her head in confusion.
"Krri Krrri"
mey who appeared behind her spoke.
"Gruu…"
The Water Spirit then nced at Vaan, as if she was asking for his permission and Vaan nodded. She then grabbed Vaan''s finger with her two hands, then, she ced her forehead on the finger and Vaan could feel his Mana being sucked out.
"You want more?" Once the Water Spirit was done, Vaan questioned. She nodded with an embarrassed expression on her face,
Vaan chuckled and then, he absorbed Mana and fed her again.
The cycle continued 8 times, this told Vaan how ''hungry'' little Sshy was.
Yes, Sshy, this was the name he came up for the Water Spirit.
Again, gangsters weren''t meant to be creative.
"I will call you Sshy from now on," Vaan spoke with a small smile on his face as he gently rubbed Sshy''s chin with his finger.
"Grruuu!" Sshy nodded with a bright smile on her face.
At the very least, the little water spirit liked her name.
"Krriiii!" mey, of course, wasn''t going to stay back.
Now that Vaan had fed Sshy, he had to feed her as well even though he already did it an hour ago.
Of course, Vaan didn''tin, he simply fed his little friend till she was satisfied.
The two spirits stood in front of him as they smile.
Then, "Krriii Krri Krrii!" mey spoke as she formed 2 Magic Circles around her.
"You want me to summon my Circles?" Vaan questioned. mey nodded, Sshy nodded as well.
Vaan was obviously excited for it as well.
He absorbed the Mana again, then he summoned his Circles, the process was simr to how he summoned his first circle, and this time, instead of one circle,
*Whoosh* *Whoosh*
2 Circles were automatically summoned.
"Heh." A smile appeared on Vaan''s face.
Then, he turned towards his friends, the two spirits understood what he wanted and appeared beside him. The Circles Vaan summoned disappeared, then, he summoned them again, this time, the two spirits joined in as well and,
2 Advanced Circles with 12 Inner Circles in total were summoned.
Vaan had sessfully be a 2nd Circle Mage, who wasn''t much weaker than the 3rd Circle Mages.
