Children of Tempest(Revamped)

Chapter 3 - Fast Learner

A couple days went by.

Dad kept teaching me all sorts of things about light and sound. The parts that dad couldn't explain to me, Great Sage filled in.

It was a bit of a pain but I think I managed to understand how light and sound waves act!

They carried energy, had Amplitudes, Periods, Frequency in which they occur, Wavelengths, and they had a crest of their highest points and troughs for their lowest!

Dad even spent an hour trying to correct me in how to say magicule!

It was... pretty boring but I needed to know all of this! I wanted to get the Skill!

[Magic Sense]!

I needed it!

But...

I'm not getting the grasp of it...

{Don't worry, little one. It's not easy for a creature born in less than a year to obtain such a Skill. Now, let us try again.}

O-ok!

I tried imagining magic moving throughout my body once again to see if it would work.

But...

It's too hard...

I-i can't...

How do you do this?!

I tried so hard to make the magicules move through my body but it just doesn't work! I can't make it work!...

It was always the gushing feeling but each time, I felt it going through me and then it just stopped...

Maybe...?

I tried thinking back to how I got the [Hydraulic Propulsion] Skill. I needed to first make the water flow through me before I was able to launch it.

I tried moving the magicules through my body in a similar way and...

{Oh? I think you have got a handle on it.}

R-really?! T-then!

I just have to keep doing this!

I kept at it for another hour keeping the magicules flowing through me like it was water. I was imagining something like the tub where whenever the faucet was flicked, more water would come out and how much it was moved changed how hot it was.

{Come on little one, you just need a greater feel for these things.}

O-ok...

I can feel it...

I just-

</Confirmed. Extra Skill [Magic Sense]... successfully acquired./>

I-i did it!

<Use Extra Skill [Magic Sense]? Yes or No?>

Yes! Use it!

I was so happy as soon as Great Sage told me I got it...

I began to immediately regret it.

I-it hurts... Why does it hurt?!

I don't like it...!

{Hm? What's wrong?}

It's hurting so much...

{Ah, I assume your body isn't built to handle the Skill yet. It may take some time to adjust to the Skill and the information it will provide you but once you get used to it, you will soon see the world around you.}

W-why does it hurt so much...

It felt like pain but it was just like I was having a brain freeze... I felt parts of my body were shifting to try and handle the amount of pain I was going through...
