When Hassan had healed enough to move on his own he searched for a mirror, He was sure that he had reincarnated but he wanted to see what his face looked like, luckily he had a mirror in his room.
When Hassan looked at the mirror he saw the figure of a little boy around 12 years old, but his body muscles were well-toned a bit buffer than others his age.
His hair was dark blue, and his eyes were equally dark blue, with a pale face. he looked very handsome, he was happy that he was handsome, but he didn't let it show on his face. The previous Hassan of the earth wouldn't care if he was ugly or handsome, but it seems that the new body did change his temperament a little.
Hassan also found out about Jacob from the blonde lady that was this body's mother. His father is normally at the Kotodama academy, it was an academy that taught about magic. Hassan's father spent some days with his son but couldn't get any more leave from his academy, so he left to go to the academy. Jacob's father was a teacher, who taught his students about the anatomy, of different monsters and humans. His father gets two days off to go home every week.
Some of these students will become adventurers, who will have to fight monsters with their lives on the line, where knowing the weak point of an enemy could save their life, and some of these students will become doctors, and healers, who would need to know the specific body parts and their functions to operate on and heal. Simply casting a heal spell on a dislocated shoulder would be just stupid, as healing magic could only heal real wounds, while a dislocated bone was technically not a wound. While healing could stop internal bleeding it couldn't completely solve the problem unless it was a very high level of healing magic, so many healers needed the knowledge of the patients.
His mother would stay at home most of the time, unless she had been invited to some function, or party, by her friends.
She would spend much of her time in a garden reading some books, she would also call Hassan now and then, and tell him the stories of Jacob, expecting it might help Jacob regain his memories. Hassan couldn't remember anything because he wasn't Jacob, which disappointed the lady but he learned many things.
Jacob was a magician, a low-level but still a magician, he was a rank 4 novice.
He also found out that Jacob was the opposite of what he was, a very energetic and friendly kid who would give everyone a warm smile, and greet everyone, for this reason, he also had a lot of friends that he cared about.
Some of them even came to see him, when he was recovering from his injuries. A guy named James had come to visit him, and he also brought some sweet candy-like things that the present Jacob didn't like much but didn't complain about it. Once James left Hassan threw the candies away.
This James guy was the best friend of Jacob, they grew up together, as neighbors, and would always play together. Jacob spent some time talking to him, asking about the outside world, the answer didn't have any information he did not know from the books already. there was some awkward silence after that, as Jacob had nothing else to talk about, and his friend also didn't seem to know anything that might help Jacob regain his memories. He told Hassan about how they used to play when they were kids but of course Hassan didn't remember anything.
Jacob had a good body because he had been training to become a great magician(healer). magicians stored their Magika in their bodies, and stronger bodies could store more magika than weak bodies. Strong bodies increased storage capacity but didn't affect the Magika absorption speed directly.
Absorbing Magika would also strengthen a person's body, without changing the shape of the body much, so a person who looked like a twig could defeat someone who had strong muscles and a fit body if the weak-looking person was sufficiently high level as a magician.
Hassan when found out that he was a novice magician (level 4) was excited, but also realized there were levels for magicians. He had already suspected that to be the case, but his mother just confirmed it for him.
According to what his mother told him, there were 4 ranks that they were taught in the academy.
novice
apprentice
adept
expert
each of these levels was further divided into 10 stages 1 to 3 being a low rank
4 to 6 being middle rank
7 to 9 is a high rank
10 being peak rank
Jacob was currently a middle-rank novice. Low-level and mid-level Novice wasn't much better than normal people, who didn't know any magic and hadn't absorbed any magika into their body, but they could cast some spells that could cause heavy damage to these common folk, even killing them.
however, killing them was strictly forbidden for magicians, because that would destroy the order of the country and world.
Jacob had been in the home and had learned all the magic he knew from his mother. but since Jacob was dead Hassan had to learn it all again from the start, he did not lose his base magika of a rank 4 novice, he only forgot the spells he knew before, so he couldn't use the magika even if he had it. His mother told him that he had an affinity with wind and fire elements, but due to his harmless nature he had only learned some wind spells for his safety which he was forced to learn, and he wanted to be a healer, but the current Jacob wasn't that little kid, who wanted to be a healer far from that. The current Jacob would be much better at taking lives than saving them. that was the nature of Hassan.
Hassan had never killed anyone on earth, but if the need had arrived he won't hesitate much to pull the trigger.
Hassan wanted to learn some spells from this so-called mother, so he can defend himself and leave them to be independent, he didn't want to stick to this family, he had lost the ones he loved and he couldn't see anyone replace them he knew they could never replace his real family, but he didn't feel good when a stranger tried to act like they owned Hassan.
Hassan found out how this old Jacob died from his mother. Jacob fell off a cliff when he was chasing some small rabbit. Jacob wasn't chasing it to hunt it, no Jacob was far too kind to do something that cruel he wanted to play with the rabbit, but slipped because it had rained that day and the ground was slippery. Jacob fell off a 50-meter high cliff and got hurt, He also hit his head and lost his memories that's what his mother had assumed, he was found by a passer-by who reported him and many people came to save him and the healer was able to heal him.
but Jacob knew that wasn't the case the real Jacob did not survive but died, and Hassan took the body for some unknown reason.
He also didn't know why the body was in such good condition when he overtook it. When it had broken so many bones even died from that fall, and he knew healing magic did not work on the dead."Could it be that when Jacob was found he was alive and healed?"hassan thought.
He didn't expect to ever get answer for this question, as he wasn't going to mention that he was from another world to anyone.
