Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

I knew my mother would make a fuss if I asked her something so outrageous. On the other hand, my father was more narcissistic than her, so I had high hopes that in today's classes with him, I could ask him out.

And I did.

"Father, is it possible for me to get an accessory made out of that big bug's magic crystal?" I asked him.

"And as I said, you'll have to be- huh? What's with the question out of nowhere? Sylphy, were you even paying attention?" he said in response, his tone that of anger.

Currently, we were in the middle of the grasslands, near Yggdra. The two of us were sitting down over small pieces of wood made into improvised chairs. He had brought two wooden swords to practice, and as he spoke to me about the boring stuff related to "the heart of the sword", I ended up asking him this without actually thinking it twice.

"Erm… I was! I was! The thought just popped up in my mind when I remembered how you gloriously defeated such a being," I told him.contemporary romance

"Ooh… I see! So, you're wondering if it could be possible to- huh? But why? You already have two powerful accessories…" my father said in response.

"I-I just want to see if I can use dark magic with it! Mother said I could use all magic, right?" I replied.

"But you still can't use Water Magic with the earrings Aquarina gave you, right?" he countered.

Ugh, he got me there. Then again, this was due to a reason which was quite intricate to explain! I couldn't possibly just tell him "Father, I have a System!" or something stupid like that, right?

However, I knew my father had a weakness for his daughter. He was fascinated with me and loved to make me happy. Thus, using my beloved's father devotion towards me, I tried to be cute and asked him this out of mere selfishness.

"C-Can I get it for my fifth birthday, pretty please? I will love you forever if you do!" I said to him as I went puppy-eyed. In response, my father looked at me as if I had become a very dangerous being, more dangerous than the monsters he had fought. I sensed his heart beating fast, his cheeks becoming redder by the second.

"F-Fine… I will… try and see if I can find a way! But no promises, alright?" He sighed, petting my head before kissing me on the forehead soon after.

"I love you papa! Mooch, mooch, mooch!"

I kissed his entire face to make him happy, which perhaps reinforced his resolve to get the accessory made. Hehehe. All according to plan.

Manipulative? M-Maybe just a bit! But I don't have any bad intentions, and I don't plan to ask him for anything else… I just want to see if I could get something similar to Ignatius with Beelzebub.

Perhaps this monstrous fly would be easier to convince than this prideful dragon? It's definitely a gamble. Anyways, now that we got that out of the way, my father finally began our classes on Fire Magic and swordsmanship.

"Very well. Today's classes will be divided into two parts: basic Fire Magic, and then swordsmanship after. After those two, we end it with a little spar," father told me.

A spar with my father?! Well, that sounds… dangerous.

"A spar?!" I asked.

"Yes! Every day we'll spar a tiny bit before dinner. Do you like the idea? Hehe, don't worry. You can go all out on your old man. I'm pretty resilient!" father replied, hitting his chest while laughing.

"Father, you're misunderstanding me. I'm the one that's not resilient!" I said with a sigh.

"Hahaha! Come on, I'll be gentle. Now, let's begin. Sylphy, show me your fireball. I want to check something," he said after.

"Hmm… A-Alright… You've already seen that my fireball is strange," I replied.

"Yeah. Show it to me."

Seeing that I had no choice, I quickly gathered mana into the palm of my hand as I continuously activated Ember. Little fingertip-sized flames emerged one after another, merging with each other into a bigger and bigger flame. Of course, all of this happened in just a split-second, however the sight itself surprised my father once more.

"It's incredible how you can do this. You're using the Ember spell as if it was a building block that would slowly build up into a fireball, but it's so fast I can barely grasp it. Ember is the lowest-tiered Fire-attribute spell there is. Hmm… you're using it to cheat your way into higher-tiered spells, aren't you?" he asked.

What…! My father is amazingly astute! He figured out the whole process just like that?! Then again, that's to be expected of a hero of flames…

"S-Something like that… I conjure Ember continuously. It seems to be very easy for me for some reason. After that, I build up to other spells from it… by combining the Embers," I soon admitted.

"I see. Well, that's very interesting. But Sylphy, have you tried conjuring just… conventional Fire Magic though?" he wondered.

"No… I don't know how," I replied.

"Then, it's time for your father to teach you a few spells. Well, the very one you use, but through magic circles. I want to see if you can make runes by yourself. If you combine your ability as a Sorcerer with rune-based magic, you'll see an incredible increase in damage output," father told me.

"Really?"

"Indeed! Although Sorcerers have it easy with magic, if you combine rune-based magic into it, like your mother might have taught you, you can find an increase in the power of your spells. Then again, it might take some time for you to swiftly conjure runes and magic circles, but you're still growing, so let's begin right away."

After saying that, my father quickly began to teach me the runes to make up a magic circle of the second weakest Fire-attribute spell, Ember Shot. In essence, it's just Ember that's fired at a fast speed, but since it's small and it disappears pretty quickly, it's not really that strong. However, he uses it to start bonfires. I've seen my mother also use it sometimes.

"The runes are Heat, Flame, Movement, and Fast," said my father as I created the runes. Each one was based on a word, the words my father mentioned.

For some reason, words were magic in this world. By using runes, or magic words, one could string them to make up a magic circle, and magic comes out naturally after that.

FLASH!
