[color=FFE4B5][i]Learning spells in a second?[/i][/color] He thought it made sense but, it didn't feel right. [color=FFE4B5][b]"No, I didn't learn it, or at least I think I didn't. It felt like I'd known this spell my whole life."[/b][/color] The feeling was invasive somehow. It made the rest of his memories feel flimsy and up for grabs by whatever or whoever decided dropping them into a fantasy forest was a reasonable idea.

He made the ball of light fade away, as if he knew how to dispel it from years of experience. [color=FFE4B5][b]"If we find ourselves in a dangerous situation like last time, I could see if I can copy what Ipharia does again."[/b][/color]

There was a certain satisfaction to forming a factual hypothesis for what felt like an eternity since the last time. By accepting the existence of fantasy, he could use it as a foundation for similar ideas, he realized. A tight frown formed though, upon learning that Ipharia wasn't versed in combat magic. 

His drive to think didn't fade. This world that had known the touch of magic for more than a thousand years was now sprawled in front of him. He looked at his pale thin wrist with wonder for the first time in his life, realizing that his potential had surpassed that of his old self. In him wasn't just blood, it was [i]mana[/i]. And it could change the world through his thoughts alone.

[color=FFE4B5][b]"Your language... it must have been the first hint towards realizing that we were in another world. Waking up and being able to read strange symbols in a sign with no problems, it's not something that happens to normal people."[/b][/color]
