The Moonlight Swordsman

Aizel moved directly in the direction of the fruit shop as the group of three talked among themselves. The time has come to start learning about magic and this world.

"So I was able to use fire magic like Larisa; does this have anything to do with the magic core? Does this imply that I have that core as well?" While wandering through the streets, Aizel ponders.

As he approached the shop, he noticed a child reading a book. The child was a girl, perhaps approximately 5-6 years old. She shared her mother's golden hair and blue eyes.

"This has to be her child." Aizel paused before inquiring about Daisy.

"Hello, do you know where your mother is?" Aizel inquired.

"Someone is here for you, Mama." The child did not even look at Aizel before calling for her mother.

Daisy came while sensing her surroundings with her mana.

"Well, you've arrived. Come inside, I'll make some wonderful tea, and we can talk." Daisy said as Aizel entered the shop and went behind the door to Daisy's little house. It was just a small house, which was enough for a mother and daughter to live in.

Daisy arrived with two cups of tea for the two of them as Aizel sat on the sofa.

Before speaking, Daisy took a sip of tea. "I have no idea how you managed to lose your memory or what secret you're keeping. I will share all of my knowledge with you."

Aizel remained silent and only nodded.

"The name of this world is Xelgar, and it contains five kingdoms, each of which is isolated from the ocean that surrounds it."

"The Felgura Kingdom, which is the central kingdom. if you want to master more complex spells and magic. The kingdom you should aim for is that one. The East Kingdom is often referred to as the Kingdom of Theodora, the Zulivan Kingdom is the name of the South Kingdom, where we are at the moment, and the West Kingdom is also referred to as the Beast Kingdom. The most mysterious kingdom is the North Kingdom, which comes last. No one knows more about the North, and no one even visits there."

"I don't know much about Theodora's kingdom, but the Zulivan Kingdom is referred to as the weakest of all. Normal humans are found more than mages here."

"We can use magic with the help of mana, which is everywhere. Every person who can sense or use mana has a magic affinity to their respective elements and powers. You can use any element you want if you have specific knowledge about that element."

"But you can only form the magic core of an element that has the greatest magic affinity for you." Like Larisa, she had the fire core, and I have the wind core. I have my greatest affinity for wind, so it was easy to form a wind core."

"If a person has a great magic affinity for fire and wind, that person can even form both cores. Mages who can form more than one core, on the other hand, are quite rare and highly valued in the kingdom."

"The mana we gathered from our surroundings is transformed into a specific elemental energy with which we can perform magic. The amount of energy that can be stored is always limited, and this is determined by the core grades.

"There are nine grades, such as fire-core grades I, II, III, IV,..., and IX." Larisa was a "Grade I" mage, and I am a "Grade I" too."

"That's it; now would you like to ask something?" Daisy finished the whole structure of magic and the world.

"I know I have a magic core, but how do I sense it? Is there a way?" Aizel asked.

"Simply send mana while sensing around your stomach," Daisy responded by taking another drink of tea.

Aizel nodded and followed Daisy's instructions exactly. But there was one issue: there were none.

"How is this possible? I used fire magic, which can only be used by the magic core." Aizel was shocked; he didn't expect that and suddenly the needle-stabbing pain came once again straight in the head.

"Why is it hurting now? Wait a minute," Aizel said, sending mana in the direction of the head to sense it. In his consciousness, there was a cracked core with a moon-white color.

"Why is it here, and why is it cracked?" It puzzled Aizel, but one thing was certain: the source of his headache had been discovered.

"Can a magic core form in any part of the body?" While waiting for Daisy to clear up the confusion, Aizel asked a question.

Daisy said "no" without hesitation.

"All right, Daisy, thank you for everything; I'm exhausted now and need to relax; I'll come back tomorrow for some more fruits."

Aizel rose up and bowed towards her as he prepared to return. There is only one person who can put his fears to rest.

"Before you leave, Aizel, there is one more thing you should remember: never trust anyone in this world. This world is based solely on power and strength. For power, the people here will even kill their family."

Aizel nodded and exited the shop to return to his inn. He has had trust issues and has been a loner since childhood. He didn't even trust the folks from his world, who were like normal humans.

"I need to get back to my flat and wait for a response from the loli. I'm hoping she's aware of the cracked core."
