Another World Story: Why I Become Villain
Exercises

"Haah.. haah..."

Liam is now lying on the training floor. His entire body was filled with sweat. Edna on the other hand, also looks tired, but not as bad as Liam.

"I won 20 times in a row. Realize where you are, you little boy."

Liam and Edna started their match practice around 8am, and it was now 3pm.

"Don't get cocky first, you old granny, I will definitely beat you up."

Although Edna was usually angry at being called old grandmother, but now she was too tired to scold Liam.

"Bas a boy, you can't keep your mouth shut."

Edna then sat not too far from Liam. They both focus on recovering their energy.

"Mr Liam, Edna-sama, I brought a fresh drink to restore energy."

While Liam and Edna were resting, Sebas came with two drinks. The look on Edna and Liam's face was immediately happy to see that.

Merke both directly snatched the drink without hesitation.

Gulp gulp

"Now!! It feels like coming back to life!"

Edna wiped the drink spilled from her mouth.

"Hmph, in this case you are quite useful."

Liam did the same with Edna.

"Mr Liam, you have been attacking Edna-sama with your sword. What if you also practice magic? It would be helpful if you wanted to defeat Edna-sama."

Liam then considered Sebas' proposal. At the moment he is only focused on physical training so that he is not easy to beat. In the game, Liam can also only perform healing magic from the water element, so now Shirogami who is inside Liam's body thinks that now there is no need to learn magic.

However, hearing Sebas's proposal, it was quite reasonable. Liam has to train all aspects of his body whether physical or magic to survive dangerous situations in the future.

"You're right too. I had to make that old granny swallow her sentence."

...***...

Liam started his magic training. Edna who became Liam's teacher began to give an explanation of the basics of magic again. Since Edna was the author of the book Liam had read before, it didn't take long for Liam to understand Edna's explanation.

"You've read my book, haven't you? I'll repeat this briefly. Magic is divided into 4 basic elements. Fire, water, earth, air.4 The element is not the only element that exists in this world, so its name is the basic element. There is also a secondary element. This secondary element has a very wide range. But, the disadvantage is that the secondary element is quite difficult to master. That's why most people master the basic element more than the secondary element."

"If that's all I know, too."

Edna then continued her explanation to Liam.

"So, the first thing we have to do now is look at your mana affinity. Do you have affinity tablets in this family?"

Affinity tablets are a tool for knowing the elements that a person has.

"Free, go and get that thing."

"Well Mr. Liam."

Sebas then spent the night leaving Liam and Edna alone.

"I'm just guessing, but I can't believe you have something that expensive."

The process of making affinity tablets was extremely difficult, and the manufacturing technique was known only to the Dwarven race. Therefore, affinity tablets have a very expensive price.

"Don't underestimate the Teyvat family."

Liam actually intended to insinuate the Teyvat family's stupidity to waste their money, but it seems that the intent that Edna captured was another.

A little while later Sebas came with a stone tablet with a clear crystal in the middle.

"It's sir."

Sebas then handed the thing to Liam.

"So, what am I supposed to do with this piece of rock?"

Liam held the affinity tablet while twirling it. If seen more clearly, the tablet has a strange carving. For information, this tablet is not in the Tale of the Untales. If you want to know the magic element of the character, you can see it easily in the character stats.

"Now try to flow your mana using [Mana Flow]."

Another foreign term uttered by Edna. [Mana Flow] is not in Tale of the Untales.

"..."

Liam was only silent because he did not know how to use that [Mana Flow].

Knowing Liam's ignorance, Edna again mocked Liam.

"Have it done and quickly tell me what an old granny is!"

Laughing faintly at Liam's reply, Edna then began to practice [Mana Flow].

Edna concentrated, and then a faded green light seemed to envelop Edna's hand.

"Heeh, so that's yes [Where Flow]?"

Edna was surprised to hear Liam's words.

"Well, I didn't expect. Though I haven't told you that I already used [Mana Flow]. You have a good detector."

Liam was confused by Edna's words. It was obvious that there was a hint of green light wrapping around his hand. Liam wondered why Edna did not see such a flashy light in his hand.

"Give me the tablet."

Liam then gave the affinity tablet to Edna. A moment after holding the tablet, the clear crystal that was in the middle of it turned slowly green.

"This is the usefulness of [Mana Flow]. With it you can control your raw mana. I put my mana into the affinity tablet so that the color of the crystal turns green. This indicates that my man is the wind element."

"Hm..."

Liam nodded then asked for the tablet from Edna.

"Give me, let me try."

"You sure? Using [Where Flow] is pretty hard."

"Don't underestimate me old granny."

Liam then took the tablet from Edna.

(Hm... I don't know how but, I just need to concentrate and imagine which light is in my hand right?)

Liam then mimics what Edna did. A moment later, Liam saw that his hand was being lubricated by a faded black light. Even so, there was no reaction whatsoever from the affinity tablet.

(Huh?)

Liam was confused as to why nothing had happened. Despite having a different color, Liam's hand was already shining the same as Edna's previous hand.

"Haha! That's why you're too arrogant, bad boy!"

Edna laughed and again mocked Liam.

"Shut up!"

Liam has followed the procedure, but nothing has happened. There must be something wrong. Liam tried repeatedly, but the affinity tablet did not show any reaction even though in Liam's hand there was already a black light.

"It's a boy, you can slowly master it. Rather than that, we better focus on your sword practice."

Liam then gave the tablet to Sebas and took his wooden sword.

"Free, check whether the useless tool is damaged or not. I'm gonna make this old granny swallow her own saliva."

Liam seems angry at being teased by Edna repeatedly.

"You think you can beat me? That's too fast a 100-year-old boy!"

And so it was, Liam went back to doing his sword practice together with Edna.

...***...

The day has started tonight. Liam was sitting on the sofa in the middle of his room. His body felt very sore because of too much fighting with Edna.

"Basic old grandma..."

Although at first glance they look hostile, Edna and Liam have an increasingly close relationship. On the other hand, Shirogami who was inside Liam's body was also now used to Liam's rough mouth.

"Tomorrow.the plan will begin..."

Liam thought of a plan he would execute tomorrow to free Rachel from the Teyvat region. Although the entire preparation was done, Liam was still nervous about the plan he was going to execute tomorrow.

Tok

As Liam dissolved in his mind, the door of his room was knocked.

"Mr Liam, your dinner is ready. Madam and great sir are waiting for you."

Hearing Sebas' words, Liam then got up from his couch.

(This plan should work.)
