[A world without magic. It's almost nostalgic.] Must be interesting for you to see.

[He straightens up, almost casually. But Kouki's keeping his guard up for any surprise attacks.]

Interested in magic?

[shenevermisses]

I've seen a lot of it this draft. Almost all of it to do with fire.

And it's all really useful for staying alive against these things.

[Because that's what it all comes down to. Survival.]

[de_bel_survivor]

Fire is only one part of magic. [Fire, ice, electricity, wind, holy, unholy...] It's just a rather useful element to use here.

If you can use it, might as well make sure you can survive. [Whether with offensive or supportive spells. Hm... He can still cast a few more spells before he need to recover his energy.]

[shenevermisses]

And only certain people can use it.

[Which is the disappointing part. Then again, only certain people can use knives or can really learn to use a sword, and it takes a lot of practice.

But it's the seed of an idea. Impossible, she knows, but it's there all the same.]

[de_bel_survivor]

Normally, yes.

...If I recall correctly, the Filial spirits back in the village can teach their magic to anyone who manage to contact them.

[He never bothered. His usual spell range are normally good enough for him.]

[shenevermisses]

The...

I think I read about them. [Not very closely. At that point, her mind had kind of tuned out what was on the page, and she took in only the surface information.]

And they... teach magic. To anyone.

[It's just a spark. A spark that might grow to a flame.]

[de_bel_survivor]

Yes, anyone. You just need to contact them and be ready to spend some time learning.

[Depending on who she try to contact first, it might be very easy or very hard. Reading about other people's experiences is one of the things he always find interesting.]

[shenevermisses]

...Do you know how to contact them?

[If not. Well. She'll have to start hunting down information back in the village.]

[de_bel_survivor]

[He shake his head.]

No, I don't.

[shenevermisses]

[She nods. It's not a tragedy. He's put the idea in her head. That's more than enough.]

I'll have to look into it back in the village.

[de_bel_survivor]

Until then, just survive, miss. [Anything can happen on the battlefield.]

[shenevermisses]

[Now, here's someone with sense. That -- survival -- is all that matters here.]

I plan to.

[de_bel_survivor]

I hope you do.

[He would be disappointed if he find out she died.]

May we meet again.
