Mahou Project!!

"So, I take it that the ritual is a success huh." The copy magus said and gulps down the refreshing liquid in one go.

"Yep. Aside from the conventional mana and blood loss, everything went well. Although, there is one thing." Sora stated earning an attentive look from Ken.

"Uh is everything alright?" Ken asks with worry.

"Oh yes, yes. I told you, the ritual went well and is definitely is a huge success, but as soon it was done, you three fainted from mana exhaustion and I should be asking you that question though since you were ranting and shaking in your sleep like you're having a bad dream." Sora said as she took a sit near the bed.

"So, you saw that huh." Ken just said with a sad look on his face as Sora nodded in response.

"Yes, and I won't pry it any further if you are feeling uncomfortable. But the same can't be said about your two new cute servants though." Sora said as she smirks slyly when suddenly, the door burst forth as Ana and Glacia entered the room with a concerned look on their face.

Ken was caught off guard as Glacia dashed forth into his direction and was pulled into a deep hug.

"Sir Mercer, I did not even realize that you had such a tragic past!! If there is anything, anything you need at all, then don't hesitate to ask for my undying support and assistance!!" Glacia said as she was sobbing in tears.

"Kah!! Glacia too tight and cold!!"

Then Ken fainted from the bitter frosty hug.

Ana merely sighed as she shook her head off with a face palm and said "Really Ice hag? I thought that you are gonna comfort him, not kill him."

"Oh, oops." Glacia said as she immediately released Ken from her hug that is supposed to be a chilling cold death grip, greatly enhanced ten times even further thanks to her Frost Release Bloodline.

***

Thankfully, it wasn't anything serious and life threatening as Ken woke up again 10 minutes later.

"Please don't surprise me like that." Ken eyed Glacia with a 'What the hell' look.

"I'm sorry!!" The ice magus bowed down apologetically.

Ken inhaled deeply and then asked with a serious look "So what was that all about, with you crying and suddenly hugging me out of nowhere."

"W-well, we dreamt it too, your dream that is." Glacia whimpered as she wipes her own tears and in response, Ken's eyes widen at this.

"What? H-how?!" Ken said as he was definitely surprised.

Sora then step into the conversation and said "I think I can answer that."

The trio's eyes were all on the Berserker Queen.

"I already explained it to the two when they woke up before you. What you three experienced is a rather well-known phenomenon of what you say a side effect of the master-servant relation. It is known as the Empathy link. Short version of it, what the master dreams, the servants too dreams, and what the master feels, the servants too feels, and the best part? Vice versa. Although the effects are only limited to emotions so you don't have to worry about feeling the physical pain of your servants since it is rather inconvenient especially in combat. The one who designed such link is definitely not a dumbass but rather just wants some spicy old emotional drama I guess." Sora explained their situation as Ken took every detail of what she said.

"Interesting, and if I'm feeling the urge to be a sadistic, bitchy freak then I guess I'm blaming the Dragon girl here." Ken joked with a grin as Ana scowled at him with her violet eyes.

"Hey!!" Ana shouted at Ken, earning a laugh from the other occupants of the room.

"Hmm if you have the galls to joke like that, then I guess you are good to go. I'll leave you three to your devices and hope you three stay out of trouble." Sora said with a friendly smile and left the room.

The atmosphere of the room suddenly turned quiet as Glacia simply look at Ken as if attempting to get some information out of him.

Ken sighed and spoke "You really want to know huh? Since we are in this master-servant relationship, so I guess you have the right to know."

The copy magus although reluctant spent the next 30 minutes telling Glacia of the tale of how he acquired his godly powers, the burning of his village, the death of his parents, and the Warlocks that destroyed his fragile childhood and innocence.

"S-sir Mercer, I'm so sorry!!"

Before Glacia could pull of another one of her chilling cold death grip, Ken comically back off away from her and his face paled.

"No hugs!! I've had enough of that already thanks to my freaking idiotic sister!!" Ken said as he waved his hands off.

Ken then added with a sad smile on his face "Look I appreciate the sentiment, deeply grateful of your concern, but still I'm not exactly comfortable talking about it and honestly, I've gotten over with it already, so can we leave it at that please?"

"Of course, Sir Mercer." Glacia nodded with a beautiful smile.

"And call me Ken, we are in closer terms now." The copy magus said.

"Yes, Sir Ken."

"Well at least it is better." Ken answered grinning.

"So now that the issue of your status is answered, I guess it's on to the library then." Ana intervened as she crossed her arms.

"Right, guess I better informed Drake about it." Ken said with a nod as he fixes himself up and together with his new servants, left the room.
