บท 20: Acknowledgment, II

I explained the power system of Nexus to the seven idiots.

"So, Sean is a Peculiar-Potential, huh?" Muttered Jeremy and continued "Has he ever used magic then?"

I shrugged off Jeremy's question, "Is that even a question?"

"Then why did you even mention him?" Angus said from behind Jeremy.

I replied to his question, "The reason I mentioned Sean, is because he used a transcendental spell only 3 months after getting his rune."

"Um, is that great?" Angus questioned me once more.

I said deadpan, "Uh, are you a total idiot?"

"No…" He trailed off. Yeah, he truly is an idiot.

"Yes, as I was saying, Sean has a great affinity for the fire element. That is where he exceeds the most, and so, without even knowing it himself, he used a transcendental spell of the fire attribute, The Blue Whirl."

"And that is?" Garfield's voice was heard after I told them about Sean.

"It's the blue version of fire but that is probably over 10 times hotter and stronger than the actual element, though the power of the element depends on its user because it can go up to one-hundred times stronger, hell even thousands of times. It has no limit if you have that much of potential."

"I see." Said Garfield while squinting his eyes.

I looked at their faces again, it seems they still don't believe me.

I sighed "Hah, okay okay, how about I prove it to you all, I've been dragging this on for a while." I finally piqued their interest.

"You all, come here!" I called them close to the bed I am laying on. All seven of them surrounded me.

"I know this is a weird request, but free my hands from everything, since I can't do it myself." I requested the guys to set my hands free of all the medical stuff I didn't study about.

After a while of trying to get my hands out of this and that, I can finally see them, and by the reaction of my students here, it was really bad.

The red vessels of my hands and fingers were visible to my eyes. The joints of my fingers, even after two weeks were still not in the right location, even trying to move my fingers to the slightest sent bolts of pain up to my brain.

I finally spoke up, "Just so you know, I am kind of an irregularity to the world… Because I have an affinity for Transcendent Spells. I am a 'Queen-Potential' right now, and I can already use like, five different Transcendent ones, I don't even know myself, I don't try out a lot of things with these types of spells because the backlash is too high." I stopped to take a breath.

"What I am going to do right now is that I am going to use a transcendental spell to return my hands as they were before, I don't know if this spell has a limit or not but I can turn time back for my body features, for example now, my hands."

As I finished my sentence, I closed my eyes and started to move the mana I had accumulated ever since I woke up in the hospital, towards my hands. The multicolored mana moved up to my brain, became colorless, and now moved down to my arms and then hands, through every fiber, and nerve of my body, through my whole being.

As the traveling mana arrived at its location, the hands, and fingers, its color started to change and my hands started to shine a goldish ray of light.

"What-"

"Wait--"

"No way--"

I heard different reactions coming from the boys, all seeming in disbelief and excitement.

But this was only the start, the gold-ish rays of light that were flowing in the air, came back and got sucked inside my hands, which were now shining too. The light consumed back into my body and started to do its work.

"Khack!" my hands started to sting and right after, their skin started to fall off. I could see my bare palm and fingers, the throbbing pain and the beating of my heart got louder and more heightened, the root of my nails, I could see the vessels of it. The pain of my limbs erasing from existence, cut through my mind like a dagger, shredding my focus. My whole arm lit up with hot pain from the root where my hand was.

I could hear the guys panicking

"Ha!" the air in my lungs exploded out, and my world started to flicker between darkness and colors, the pain was unbearable but I had to maintain focus. Both my hands were now ashes that got blown off by my breath.

Now the Transcendental mana started to do its work, my hands were being brought back to life, I could feel the nerves of my hand being reconstructed, and the pain started to subside now that the bones and blood vessels were in reality from nothing. The form of my hands was about to be completed, and finally, the skin started to resurface from the meat and fat on my hands.

Everything is connected, I couldn't feel the pain anymore.

My students were looking at my hand wide-eyed and slack-jawed, they couldn't believe what their eyes had seen, and so, waiting for another reaction.

I finally clenched my hands, slowly as if they were the most delicate thing to exist. As if they would fall over if I moved it too fast.

"W-what?"

Jean all confused said, "Is this real? Is someone playing a prank on us?

"No there's no one doing that, you idiot!" Said Angus and slapped Jean across his face.

"I got called an idiot by Gus… The Shepherd is too stunned to speak…" Jean said Shepherd because it's his last name.

A mischievous grin showed on my face, "Welp, that's about it. Nothing unexpected right?"

"Unexpected my ass! Your whole hands just disappeared and reappeared all over, properly healed at that! I need a break or else my heart will stop working early…" Morgan yelled here and there and by the end spoke with a hoarse and low voice as if questioning reality.

"I-it was true after all…" Jeremy stuttered through his words in his shocked state.

"But, why are you telling us of this?" Billy asked from beside Jeremy.

A grin crept up my face, in a mischievous tone I said, "It's because I acknowledge you all to be my Magic Disciples!"
