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

-----

Dear mother… what the heck are you even talking about?

I thought all magicians and the like just used spells and that would be the end of it. I legitimately thought they would just have to constantly use their mana and their spells to become a better magician.

And now you're telling me we have to open up some magic circle thing?

Does that line up my original thought? Not even one bit. Please, just go back to simplicity!

On top of that, mother just casually said it to me as I was having breakfast this morning.

Naturia had matured a bit these past three years. Thanks to passage of time, she was no longer a little fist-sized seed, but had gained roots and leaves. Right now, she resembled a tiny fairy made of wood, with hair made of leaves. All in all, she was very cute.

Spirits that you make contracts with from a young age grow alongside you, so that meant Naturia was nowhere near her peak when she formed a contract with me. But as she grew alongside me as I grew older, she had gotten stronger. In turn, she gives me more power.

Oh right, I've been also trying to convince Ignatius for three years now. Unfortunately, that bastard still hasn't budged. I've begun to bite his tail, hit his head, pierce his eyes with my hands, everything I can do there really. I've even continuously kicked his balls, but he still won't submit.

He's certainly a powerful being, I have to admit. But I won't give up on him that easily. If else, his stubbornness is solidifying my stand to make him my Fire-type Familiar. I won't settle for anything less than a fire dragon, that's for sure.

Wait, where was I? Ah, right. My dear mother, who has been taking care of me for so long already, had never told me back then that there was some strange power system based on magic circles. And then, based on these magic circle ranks and tiers, spells are made.

Of course, it's also absolutely possible for someone talented to conjure things above their own magic circle, but it usually costs a ridiculous amount of mana. Well, I can do this because I apparently have endless mana from an unknown source… it's probably from that god that sent me here or something. After all, not even the System can properly explain it to me other than telling me that "it's an ability that formed out of a glitch."

Nevertheless, I believe I can "cheat" the magic system through my System. After all, even if it's flawed and has a ton of errors, it's already overpowered even with these tiny little skills. Take Ember for example. It lets me conjure Fire magic without even having to chant it. As long as I just use Ember continuously and fuse them into shapes, eventually they form stronger magic that my mother sees as spells.

Now that I think about it, the Agriculture skill coming from my Farmer class is not really Nature magic either… it probably works this well due to the endless mana.

I can't help but imagine how stupidly powerful I could become if the System actually worked well in the first place. Then again, I guess if it worked well, I wouldn't have endless mana or health to defy logic with.

I guess you sacrifice some things to obtain other things.

Moving that aside, I believe Aquarina is more talented than I am. In my case, I'm just cheating life by using the System. On the other hand, Aquarina really has talent for magic. She can already use spells of higher tiers than what would normally be for her level without any assistance through her sheer talent…

In these last three years, I've grown very close to her. You could say that we're best friends at this point, or even sisters with just different parents. I've grown very attached to her during this time, and I've got to say that she's honestly my little treasure.

In these last three years she had slowly grown less shy thanks to interacting a lot with me. We also went hunting from time to time as well, although we targeted nothing too out of the ordinary such as Horned Hares and the occasional wild leopard or lynx.

During this time, she had developed great talent with Water, Earth, and Shadow magic. Yes, all three of them! Nevertheless, she's still better at using Water magic more than anything else.

Now that I mentioned water, she actually obtained a Water Spirit named Undine one day when we went to swim near a river. It was very random, yes, but she got her own spirit from it, so her magic has soared leaps and bounds than before.

With every passing day I'm away from her, I hope I can meet her again so we can go play and have fun.

Speaking of which, during these last three years we haven't made any other friends, although there was this annoying 5-year-old kid named Zack in her tribe, which often followed us around and sometimes teased us or tried to bully us.

I think he likes Aquarina and he's trying to get her attention by being rude. You know, the typical childish behavior. Unfortunately, he's doing the opposite of what she likes and because of that, she hates him. I'm not childish enough to hate a kid, but I don't like his behavior. With that, I've more so often beat some sense on him.

Maybe if he acted gentler, he could get a chance to be with Aquarina. But even then, I'm not letting him get any closer to my little sister until she grows up!

Then again, it has been around a year and a half since this boy appeared, so we eventually have grown a bit fond of him. Of course, Aquarina still looks at him with a death stare from time to time.

But I should move that aside for now. I'm still talking to my beautiful elven mother here.

"Mom, I don't get it…" I replied, trying to tell my mother that I couldn't understand whatever she was telling me.

"Ah. Well, we should have told you beforehand really… seeing how you and Aquarina can conjure magic spells above your own tiers, I suppose you wouldn't guess that there was a tier-based system other than just saying how strong a spell was through tiers, right?" my mother said in response.

"Yeah… Daddy, do you know this?" Nodding, I asked father.

"Ah, yes. I'm actually an 8th Tier Magician," father replied, scratching his head in response as he awkwardly chuckled.

"Is that strong?" I wondered.

"Yeah, but your mother is better. Hahaha…" Father could not help but chuckle once more.

"I'm actually a 10th Tier Magician, the highest tier one can reach. Only those with S-Grade Talent can get this far, although I've only barely grasped the first Rank out of the ten Ranks there are for the tier," mother replied.

"Huh?"

Naturally, I still didn't get it.
