Collin's Otherworld Adventure

We are on the way to the capital which is about a two day trip by carriage, Me and my dad are sitting next to my friend Rosie and her dad, Rosie pokes my side with her elbow and asks me.

"So how are you feeling Collin?"

I sigh and reply.

"I'm a little nervous."

I say that because me and Rosie spent a lot of our time together training in magic, I end up finding out that I'm not very good in offensive magic and that Rosie is out of my league when it comes to using magic, every time I would try to use magic I would pass out due to mana depletion, and even with the most basic of spells like candlelight, which is a spell that creates a small orb of light that will float on top of your fingertips, and doing this spell is simple but it would cause me to get exhausted and in this world passing out over a simple spell is considered strange because it is normal for people to maintain that spell for half a day at least and not feel any fatigue, Rosie looks straight at me with a smile and says.

"don't worry you will do fine in the test."

I look down at my feet and reply.

"thank you but i don't think I have a chance."

I pause and smile at her and continue.

"but you have a much better chance than me because you have great magical powers."

I then think to myself.

"this girl is very strong, she will become a magical knight."

she playfully pushes me and says.

"come one don't doubt yourself you and me will do great and get in the magical academy."

I respond.

"I don't deserve your kindness, if anything I feel lucky that I have a friend who will become a great and powerful magic knight."

she blushes and nervously says.

"what are you saying idiot, Its not like I became your friend because I like you."

she sticks her tongue out and pouts.

I then think to myself.

"I think I heard something similar like this in my previous life, Is Rosie a tsundere?"

I then get a mischievous smile and I tease her by responding playfully.

"oh well it's not I like you either or anything."

I chuckle as her face turns bright red like a tomato, she then sulks for the rest of the trip not saying a word to me, After a long two day ride we finally arrive to the capital city Grezia, this is my first time ever coming to Grezia, the carriage comes to a stop and we are dropped off on the outside of the city walls, once we got out of the carriage, I then take a look around and I see more groups of kids that are around my age range who are coming from all corners of the kingdom, once the last group arrived, everyone began to walk as we make our way through the gates, there are a group of gaurds that are checking us to make sure we are not carrying any unauthorized weapons, I then ask one of the gaurds as he begins searching me and my dad.

"what kind of weapons are we not allowed to carry in the city?"

the gaurd says with a serious voice.

"we are making sure that no one is carrying any kind of enchanted weapons, recently there was an incident where someone brought in an enchanted weapon and went on a murder spree, so now no one can bring in enchanted weapons and can only bring it normal weapons."

I reply nervously.

"Is that so, I'm sorry for asking sir."

as he finishes checking us he then says.

"you two are clear to pass through."

once me and my dad make it through the gate, I take in the amazing sight that is Grezia, and as I'm walking alongside my dad I say out loud.

"wow this place looks amazing."

my dad chuckles and replies excitedly.

"yeah I had that exact same reaction as you when I first came here with my dad."

he pauses and says.

"before we go take your aptitude test, let me take you to a bakery that my dad took me, they have this amazing bread made out something they call chocolate, and it tastes amazing, here come on lets go."

as I follow my dad, I think to myself.

"so they have chocolate in this world, I can't wait to taste it again."

as we make our way through the crowds of people, we finally arrive at the bakery my dad was talking about, I read the hanging sign above the entrance that says Tom's bakery, as I follow my dad inside the store, my sense of smell was instantly attack by the sweet aroma of freshly baked bread, my dad walks up to the front counter and says to the guy.

"may I have two of your chocolate bread please."

The guy in the front counter smiles and responds

"yes that will be one gold coin."

I then think to myself.

"what the hell, isn't one gold coin a bit too much?"

my dad sees me furrowing and says.

"come on don't make that face?"

I reply with concern.

"but isn't a bit too much?"

he replies.

"don't you worry about the price, that's an a.d.u.l.ts job, for now lets just enjoy these breads together."

I nod as I bite into the bread, and I think to myself.

"it's been so long since I've tasted chocolate."

I then say to my dad genuinely.

"thank you dad, i really appreaciate me.

he gets taken a back with what I said and replies.

"you know sometimes you worry me, because there are times where you don't act or talk like a normal child, but seeing your reaction after eating the bread, was all worth buying these breads."

he pause and then says.

"alright lets finish eating so we can head to the magic academy."

after finishing up our bread we then head towards the academy.
