System: Parallel World
Chapter 12: Horrible talent

"Don't say that .. You're the one who called me into this world, right?!" riyan said, drawing a conclusion. The fact that Lila knew her identity was immediately taken into account.

Lila smiled and said, "Do I look like I can use teleportation magic? Also, since I am a Spirit, I cannot use magic, so no! I didn't call you into this world."

"Then, how did you know that I was from another world?! Only Kamila's sister knows about this!"

"I heard you muttering to yourself in the bathroom. You're not aware, but I've been watching you for a long time in the bathroom." Lila chuckled in an annoying manner in front of Riyan.

"With that I can say. After all, the real Riyan of this world is dead, I guess? I don't know him personally, but I've seen him several times while still alive. And the real Riyan can't see me."

Riyan looked at that beautiful Spirit before her with a troubled expression. Such an obscure creature was unbelievable.

After a moment of being immersed in silence, Riyan spoke, "So, what do you want from me? If you're not here to bother me, then you can leave me alone!?"

"What's? After countless years, I finally, Lila the Spirit has found someone who can see her, let alone be able to exchange words! There's no way I'll leave you alone now!" firmly Lila smiled grinning, showing off her row of white teeth.

"I knew it was a mistake to admit you ..." Riyan sighed.

"I have no ulterior motives. I just want to be your friend. It's so boring living as a Spirit, you know? I could see and hear everyone, but they couldn't see or hear me. It feels like I live alone in this world."

Riyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can't you talk to Spirit or some other ghost?"

"Well .. I'm technically a Spirit, after all I'm not a true Spirit. So, I can't see them either" Lila said with a wry smile.

Riyan looked at him with a suspicious look, "So you're not a ghost or a spirit? That's suspicious...your explanation is inconsistent!"

"I have nothing to gain from being friends with an obscure entity that can possess my body. So, I should reject your offer." Riyan sneered.

"I'm just kidding about getting into your body. Come on, I'm just a helpless soul, so I can't get into you" Lila said.

"It doesn't change the fact that I have no reason to be friends with you."

"Reason, huh?" Lila thought for a moment before speaking again, "What about me teaching you magic?"

"Yes?" Riyan's eyes widened instantly.

"You want to learn magic, don't you? Actually, I was there when you tested your Magic Talent. I happen to have a magic affinity for dark magic as well, and I was very strong while still having a physical body."

"If you're friends with me, I don't mind teaching you some dark magic spells. It's natural for friends to help each other," Lila smiled faintly..

"You really took advantage of people's weaknesses, huh?" Riyan gritted his teeth at his extremely tempting offer.

"Sir Kamila's gonna teach me magic, so I don't need you." In the end, Riyan rejected the offer from Lila.

"Maybe true, but he can only teach you one or two basic magic spells. But I can teach all sorts of powerful dark magic and more. I can also guarantee you will learn magic faster under my direction than that woman." Lila still hasn't given up on persuading Riyan.

"If you don't trust me, I don't mind giving you a sample."

Lila suddenly stuck out her index finger and spoke, "Black bullet. This is a level 1 darkness magic."

The next moment, Riyan could see a red magic circle with many symbols he did not recognize appear in front of Lila's index finger.

"It is actually quite easy to learn magic, actually you only need to memorize the magic circle needed for the magic. Using magic is a different story" Lila explained.

"To use magic, you must have an affinity for the type of magic you want to use, and you must have enough Mana to use it."

"Use the time to memorize this magic circle and——"

"I've remembered it in my memory, what's next?" Riyan interrupted, confusing Lila.

"Huh? Have you memorized it? How come? The magic circle has a phenomenon that makes it naturally difficult for people to be able to memorize it, it doesn't matter how good your memory is.

Thus, even people who had above average recall only needed some time to memorize those magic circles, and the stronger the magic spells were, the more powerful the magic spells were, it will take longer to memorize it" Lila explained at length.

"You don't trust me?" riyan asked shrugging her shoulders.

A transparent panel appeared before Riyan for the second time.

[You've learned a magic spell: Black bullet]

[Afinity: darkness]

[Tier: 1]

[Mana: 10]

[Quest: Improving Mastery Rank]

[Description: Enhance a 1x magic spell to Mastery Rank 'E']

[Time limit: 7 days]

[Gift: 400 Magic experience, 2 Magic points]

'I know that this is not a hallucination. Of the thousands of novels I have read. Some of them talk about the system. However, I didn't recognize this before, but this must be the 'System'!? ' thought Riyan as he stared at the transparent blue-colored panel.

"Simple, you just need to imagine the magic circle inside your head and release the Mana in your body. The magic circle you imagined must be perfect, or the magic spell will not be activated."

Riyan rubbed his eyes and gave a rude snort, "This is the first time I used magic, and my world has no magic. So I'm gonna need more explanation from you. For beginners, how to get Mana out?"

"How could you trouble yourself." Lila rolled her eyes lazily. "However, for my dishonorable friend, I will help you." Then she smiled sweetly.

Lila floated in front of Riyan and said, "I'll help you 'feel' your Mana. But that's the best thing I can do for you. You have to find your own way" Lila's instructions.

Lila then tapped on Riyan's forehead with one of her fingers. Riyan could immediately feel something different on his body.

"Is this how he feels? I don't know how to describe it, but it feels amazing. Like there's some other power inside me!" Riyan exclaimed, sounding excited after sensing Mana for the first time.

"Good, now try taking it out with the magic circle for Black Bullet with your mind." Lila instructed.

Riyan pointed to the wall with his hand that formed a gun, and he took a deep breath.

The next moment, a black sphere the size of a marble appeared at his fingertips.

"It worked!" Riyan shouted excitedly after seeing himself able to use magic.

"Basic suck! Stay focused!" Lila suddenly shouted at Riyan.

However, Riyan was surprised by his loud voice and accidentally unleashed his magic spell, sending the black sphere towards the wall.

Whoosh!

The black sphere pierced through the wall with ease and, creating a small hole there.

"You're lucky there's no other room behind that wall, or you could get in trouble! When using magic, you must stay focused, no matter what. You could get hurt or someone else could be affected," Lila said immediately scolding Riyan, naturally a teacher to her students who made a mistake.

"I finally have someone to talk to after so long, so don't you dare get yourself killed so quickly, okay? I'll be lonely again" said Lila winked.

"Sorry .. I'm a little overzealous." Ryan admitted his mistake and apologized.

"Well, by the way, congratulations on learning your first magic spell." Lila started clapping.

"Huh, it feels so great, and it's all thanks to you, Lila!" riyan said with a big smile.

"Does this mean you'll be friends with me?" Lila suddenly asked.

Riyan was silent for a moment before nodding his head confidently "I don't mind being your friend. But if you do something suspicious like trying to get into my body, I'll call a ghost repellent right away!"

"I swore I wouldn't do such a thing!" said Lila.

Riyan nodded, and he clenched a fist in front of him, "I haven't really introduced myself yet. I'm Riyan. Nice to meet you, Lila."

Lila also stretched out her fist until it touched Riyan's fist.

"Blessed! You are officially my first friend in history!" Lila showed off her sweet smile.

'Throughout history? Did he really never have any friends, even when he was a human being?' inner Riyan. However, he immediately threw away that thought.

A little while later, Riyan started to look around the room to find something that could hide a hole in the wall. While she was doing that, Lila saw herself secretly.

'Not only can you memorize magic circles with one lyric. But he could even cast a try magic spell, as if he was already used to it.

Was this really his first experience? If so, a monstrous talent, Riyan ... ' Lila smiled in her heart as she looked at Riyan.
