Chapter 3 - Sprite language

Looking at the door. In front of them, Marcus couldn't help but exchange looks with James.

After looking at each other for a while, Marcus said to Lilian with a stunned expression, "Are you sure, we're gonna do magic here?"

Lilian looked at confused Marcus, and said, "Yes, my room is the best place, other than my room, where else gonna do?"

James looked at the door to the room and moved his gaze to Lilian. He suddenly said, "But aren't you afraid that we're gonna get caught?"

"If someone walks through and sees that we do magic, they'll report this matter to the hall of command, and we'll receive punishment."

The Hall of Command is one hall in the First Area. Its authority is to make laws and also in charge of punishment when someone violates the law.

"Yes, besides, what if we accidentally bring harm to other members? it will be big trouble," Marcus continues solemnly.

The Role No.2 states that if someone brings harm to other members, they will get punished by locking in the room for 3 days.

These 3 days without food or water.

It was a terrifying punishment for members under twelve years old, but it was also a warning to them not to violate it.

Lilian looked at the two with a relaxed manner and said, "I'm not an idiot like you two. Basically, it might lead to some accidents and harm our environment, but I have some foundation in magic. I always go to the professor's room after the class ends, to depeen my understanding."

"Unlike the two of you who always think of useless things, like novels, and always spend time creating a useless things."

Upon hearing this, Marcus and James look at each other; in their eyes, there is a flame of fury that is about to erupt.

James's mouth twisted slightly as he seemed to suppress something in his body. 

She dares to call me an idiot, saying I create useless things? Just wait until I get magic power, and I'll show what my creativity really looks like.

He was about to lampoon when a hand pressed against his shoulder.

He looked at the owner of the hand, Marcus looked at him and shook his head slightly, for a moment James seemed to understand what it meant:

Yes, I need to calm down, Marcus might have the same feelings as I, but he suppressed them. We now have the same goal. It was to see the magic, so I can't conflict with hernow…after thinking about this he couldn't help but relax.

James looks at Lilian with a sharp gaze that can pierce one's heart. 

Lilian didn't show any weak ether; her gaze and James' gaze meet each other, and a snake-like lightning seems to be produced when the two gazes meet.

Upon seeing this, Marcus, who was beside James, looked at the two who stared at each other.

He seems to be at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, the two who seem to start a war at any moment, shift their gaze away, and turn their back on each other.

Marcus, who was always standing on his original spots, couldn't help but cough, "Ahem…Let's resume our goal. Didn't we come here to witness your magic?"

Lilian turned round and didn't look at James; she turned her gaze and looked at Marcus, "You seem to know the circumstances, unlike your friend, who was a coward."

"Alright, follow me." With that said,she gave James a deep look and turned towards her room.

After twisting the handle, the door opened and the trio walked in.

Inside the room, there, one bed in the corner, and beside the bed is a desk that has a lamp on it. On the side of the room is a table with a wooden chair; on the table, there is a book, a pen, and quill; it was perfectly clean and placed in a perfect spot.

On the wall, there is a portrait of a man, one hand holding a book and the other hand holding a quill. He had hair and a brown-green robe. 

The room looks rather clean, compared to Marcus's room, which feels more like a room than Marcus's.

Upon seeing Lilian's room, Marcus couldn't help but have a look of astonishment.

After walking in, Lilian turned around and said with a serious expression, "Don't touch anything, otherwise."

She didn't continue but looked at the duo, and she raised her right hand, and swiped it across her neck.

Upon seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but exchange looks.

"Alright, come here and help me set up the symbols." Lilian while walking towards her table at the side.

At the right of the table, there is an ordinary-looking red book; there is a castle image in front of the book, and there is a word written below. Kingdom of spirit.

Lilian took that book, and flipping to the middle of the page, there was a piece of yellow paper there.

On the surfaces of the paper, there are strange symbols. It is a space that has been torn like a broken mirror. Inside the space that has been torn is a deep darkness and slightly starlight. 

On the other side of the paper is a strange language that either Marcus or James knows.

Lilian took that piece of paper from the book, and she gently shut the book and put it away.

She turned around and read the strange language on the other side of the strange symbols.

Marcus looked at the strange language and couldn't understand it all, it was as it was a new language for him.

He couldn't suppress the puzzle in his heart and asked with curiosity, "What's that strange language? I couldn't understand at all."

After hearing this, Lilian said without turning back, "It was a Sprite language."

"Sprite language?" Marcus and James blurted out.

Sprite language is also one of the main languages in the magic world; it comes from the spirit world. Its use was to cast a spell that was related to spirituality. It was also related to one soul and one spiritual, as for methods to use it, it requires a spiritual energy in the body and also needs the corresponding symbols, chanting a name. Other than that, the object that has a spiritual energy on it can produce a certain effect when used.

In addition, the Sprite language is known as the oldest language in the world. It was born at the same time as the world.

"Yes," Lilian said with a seriousness.

Without waiting for them to ask, she continued, "The sprite language is from the Sprite world creature; it can be used to cast a spell and also used to chant or title the corresponding symbols to achieve a certain effect."

After hearing this, Marcus couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that?"

James snapped back to his senses and asked with a hint of surprise, "I hear from my brother that magic language can only be learned in the Second Area."

"Because of my talent, I can apply for study ahead of time. Besides, I only learn symbols and language," Lilian said.

When it comes to magic, it was extremely dangerous; it was not easy to control. To learn magic, Firstly, it was to learn symbols, names, language, titles, and knowledge. Secondly, it was to learn to control spiritual energy in the body.

In the first area, everyone learns about symbols and names; only in the second area can they learn about titles, knowledge, and the magic language.

It's normal for James and Marcus, not to know about this; furthermore they had only attended class for about two weeks in the past month.

For the reason they are absent, everyone already knows that, if not for being late, they might spend time with each other on novels or create strange things.

Marcus always spends more time reading novels than studying in school. He believed that novels could teach him about life, adventure, and heroes than any lesson taught in class.

While James thought that spending his time reading novels could help him gain insight to create more things that the school didn't teach.

Without any further, Lilian instructed them to lock the door.

After locking the door, Marcus and James sat on the floor beside the bed, while Lilian started to check symbols on pieces of paper and read the description with seriousness.

The description in the paper is the method to draw the symbols and the corresponding chanting.

To draw it, there are 2 methods. The first method is to use a quill with black ink to draw the symbols and chant the name; the other method is to use one spiritual energy to draw it.

For Lilian, she chose to use the first method because she didn't know how to use spiritual energy.

After reading it twice and remembering everything.

She took the quill from the table and on, the other hand, picked up the black ink beside the quill.

As she took the quill and black ink, Marcus, who was beside James, waited with excitement.

Likewise for James. This duo, who always love novels and superheroes, always imagine the power that superheroes use. Sometimes they used wood to fight each other and imagine that it was a sword. But now they get to see magic, real magic!

Marcus couldn't help but have a thought:

Magic, it was real magic. I'm finally seeing the real thing. Was it fire or lightning?

At the same time, in James's thought:

I'm about to see real magic. What does it look like? Can it make me fly?

The two of them have different thoughts based on the novel they read.

The novel that Marcus usually reads is a novel that is related to superheroes who use fire, lightning, wind, earth, and water as their power.

James's novel is about a superhero who wears a red cape on their back, and a mask on their face. These superhero powers are related to flying and shooting a laser from their eye.

As she took everything and started to draw the symbols on the floor, first she drew the circle, and then she started to draw the complex symbols that looked like a portal or dimension.

After a moment of silence, the complex symbols are reflected on the floor in front of Marcus and James.

Finally, in the silent atmosphere, Lilian closed her eyes and started to chant:

"Wanderer!" She chants in the sprite language.

After she finished her chanting, the room suddenly fell silent like the middle of the night.

Only the sounds of breathing could be heard. The seriousness of Lilian, the excitement of Marcus, and the curiosity of James were waiting with anticipation. It was like waiting for a mom to come from shopping, hoping she would buy some snacks.

In the silent room, aside from the breathing sound, there are no abnormalities after chanting.

On the floor, the complex, strange symbols didn't show any abnormality.

Lilian looks at the scene in confusion, as she looks at the symbols that she drew and whispers, "Why did it not show any abnormality? I clearly did as the paper instructed."

Marcus looks at the symbols that didn't show anything in daze. He couldn't help but look at James.

James also looks at Marcus with puzzlement as if expectation has been turning into disappointment.

"Perhaps, you missed something," Marcus blurted out after a moment of silence.

As she was about to respond, the circle outside the symbol on the floor suddenly lit up with a blue light, followed by complex symbols of portal or dimension, glowing in black; it was like a spark of a star that lit up in the night sky.

It floated in midair. After the symbols lit up, it suddenly faded into thin air. It was unknown where it went.

The room returned to normal, but the symbol were no longer there. It was as if it had not appeared in the first place.
