Chapter 997 Mystery of Magic part 2
"...Does something like that really exist?"
"In the natural world? No. But with Magic, yes. That\'s what it means to have a mystery. It doesn\'t make sense." Serafall didn\'t want to continue lest she gives too many hints. In this world where research of Magic is just starting, it\'s without a doubt will be hard to wrap their heads around the \'Magic that doesn\'t make sense\'.
However, it was already existing and that\'s in the form of skills and developmental abilities that come with the Falna. If they want to further develop their Magic they would have to realize this themselves first.
In the previous world, almost all the Magic comes with a mystery since it has been taught from the start this strange power mostly comes from will and beliefs. The prime example of this is the Devils and Angels whose powers come from imagination and faith respectively. And even the Magic that the Magicians use that\'s derived from Devil\'s Magic and is fundamentally logical, what they had to understand isn\'t just the natural order of the world, but also the mind of such power. Only then they could prevent any or most hijacks on their Magic known as Spell Interceptors compared to when they use pure logic. It\'s also one of the reasons why there are so many systems of Magic.
Of course, just having a mystery in one\'s Magic doesn\'t give them immunity against anomalous Spell Interceptors like Ajuka, Kisuke, and Riveria.
"Compared to the Magic Power I used to the Ki and Magic Power that you used, even if I\'m a lot weaker than you, you\'ll be in deep trouble just dealing with that kind of Magic," Serafall added.
"...T-that..."
"But we haven\'t touched upon why this technique is reckless even if you think you have full control over it." Yoruichi interrupted, "Hmmm... Let\'s see... I guess a demonstration is better than words."
Yoruichi horizontally raised her right arm and in an instant, lightning arcs similar to Bell\'s started crackling through it.
Bell, Ais, Tione, and Tiona\'s eyes all widened, "...T-the same as me?"
"Not quite, but visually, yes." Yoruichi then pointed her arm towards Bell and the lightning arcs on his body began leaving him and going towards Yoruichi.
"!?" Bell tried to take back his lightning but it was to no avail, "What!?"
He tried to put more power into it, but they still didn\'t listen and continued to move without his instructions, "W-what\'s going on!?"
Yoruichi took back her arm, leaving behind only a fraction of the lightning left on his body, "I can do this too."
Soon, the remaining lightning started to move weirdly and attack Bell, "Gaahhh!!! What is this!?" Bell tried to expel the lightning and stop the technique but none of his attempts worked. As much as he wanted to take back control of anything, it only further hurt and scared him.
A few seconds later, Yoruichi stopped her manipulation and all of the lightning disappeared while Bell is feeling a lot weaker than he normally is.
"That\'s what we meant by reckless. Since your lightning is conjured through the natural laws and not through your will, these lightning arcs are technically ownerless and those with higher mastery than you could easily take it over, even if they are weaker than you.", explained Yoruichi before signaling to Serafall, Hestia, and Artemis that it\'s time to leave.
Serafall got her message and stood up, adding, "So when you come across someone you think has higher mastery or someone who uses mystery with their lightning or flame, you better not bring out that technique or else, you\'ll only be killing yourself."
After silently bidding her farewell to Loki, Yoruichi finished their free lesson, "Of course, you can also develop your own mystery and not just control those elements using values dictated by the Magic Circuits. If you want to use someone as a reference, you could come to Ais Wallenstein here. Similar to Serafall\'s ice earlier, her wind will move according to her will. Her Magic is not the Wind, but the Wind is her Magic."

Kisuke hurried himself to the hidden pond and immediately hopped into the pod, \'I hope they haven\'t started cutting me up.\'
When he reopened his eyes again, he was inside a glass tube that was in the middle of being filled up with an unknown green translucent liquid while he was attached to various cords, "W-what!? What\'s going on!?", he shouted using the language that these people \'forced\' into him.
Across the room that the glass tube was situated in, he heard a familiar voice of a woman, "H-He woke up! Doctor, stop the procedure! He finally woke up!"
As soon as that voice rang out, the green fluid began receding and the cords attached to Kisuke were loosened.
Kisuke dropped down and started checking his Gigai. Thankfully, they didn\'t do anything else or they might have destroyed the delicate balance of this prototype, \'It\'d be a shame if this body were to die. Roaming around with just a piece of soul isn\'t convenient. And considering how these people have pronounced Spiritual Pressure, they might have a way to trap a soul.\'
The sister of the Etoulde twins came running towards him and asked in a worried voice, "A-are you alright?"
Kisuke\'s reaction wasn\'t delayed in any way and immediately acted out with a bewildered expression that slowly transitioned into a shocked one, "H-how?" And as soon as he spoke, Kisuke looked down and touched his mouth, "This is...!?"
Kisuke\'s acting career is still going strong. And while doing so, he\'s thinking of how much he could mess things up. After all, only when something goes wrong could he get a good feel of the overall situation, \'Looks like I\'ll be staying here for a while.\'
Kisuke was a bit worried since the air of danger was already looming over the entirety of Orario with the hidden power of the Corrupted Spirit reaching the surface when he last inspected it, \'Well, Yoruichi and Serafall are around. If the Dungeon were to \'wake up\', they\'d know how to contact me.\'
He felt like he was forgetting something else but didn\'t contemplate it further, \'Oh well... I couldn\'t think of anything urgent.\'
The Goddess of the tower was set aside once again.
