182 High Magic
—–
Cooking Magic, a new type of magic introduced to us, this new concept seems to revolve around eating food that enhances the eater. It seems that this magic is a new type of magic from the things I didn’t even knew about, probably way too advanced from my mother to teach them to me yet, name “High Magic” or “Compound Magic” which utilizes various elemental spells to form even more complicated spells that have even more special and unique effects.
Cooking Magic is probably made up with Life Magic and something else... probably Fire Magic? It could be a good combination for it, and I am particularly good at both of them! But if it’s really High Magic, it probably uses a lot more of elements than those two basic ones.
Cooking Magic was used for several types of things, but it seemed to essentially be the power to give cooked food special effects or to “bring out the potential of ingredients”, in a way, it felt like a chef invented it because it was dissatisfied with its food, but there might be something more profound for the background of it, right?
I feel like I would be cheating my mother’s teachings for trying to learn this ahead of classes, but I simply am too curious, and learning spells every day slowly is very boring to be honest, most of the spells are interesting but still, I wish she could go into more detail about the cool or interesting stuff, but she still is going through “elementary magic for little children” with me, so I can’t even get into the juicy stuff like High Magic.
“So what elements does Cooking Magic uses?” I wondered.
“Well, it uses mostly Life, Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, and Earth.” Said Nepheline while crossing her arms as Ninhursag slowly began to eat the stew.
“That’s a lot of elements!” I said.
It literally used all basic elements together?! I have yet to even learn anything of Thunder and Water yet, I am ok at most with Life, Fire is my specialty and Wind, and Earth are very low-level as well...
.....
Nature Magic can help me learn Life and Earth Magic easily, but the thing is, I’ve mostly been taught Life Magic by my mother because she wants me to specialize in healing first. I can’t blame her, she’s also a healer so it’s the best she can teach me...
She probably sees the three of us in a team and thinks that a healer is missing, so she decided to add me as the healer and teach me a lot of Life Spells.
Anyways, there’s no way I am learning Cooking Magic any time soon, it requires way too many elements now and I have not been able to grow using any yet, even less reaching intermediate-level with one of them.
I guess not even fire magic is intermediate level... I am quite pathetic.
“Yeah, it needs a lot of elements, it is not something little children are learning, it is a complicated magic that perhaps not many can easily perform. Despite the simple name...” said Nepheline.
“I see, well, I wish I could learn it...” I sighed.
“Well, you got an elemental circle so it’s possible that if you learn enough spells from the other magics, you’ll be able to use it, my daughter.” Said my mother, as she showed up in the tent and sat down in a wooden chair.
“Oh, mother...” I said.
“Yeah, I am here. I came here because Nepheline just rushed here when we were having a conversation. Seriously girl, why did you just ran away?” sighed my mother.
“Ninhursag called me... something, I don’t remember now...” said Nepheline while rubbing her chin.
“Sigh... You’re such a dork.” Said my mother.
“Dork?! ...Well, yeah.” Said Nepheline.
I suppose the hierarchy was very clear here, my mother, the eldest Elf here, can easily call anyone here a dork, even a heroine that saved the world.
“And done... It was good and... Yeah, it is working, the food... it really filled me with energy. Even the pain is gone, did you add some drugs in there?” asked Ninhursag.
“Drugs?! No, I didn’t. I just made it, so the food relaxes the body after consumption.” Said Nepheline.
“Yeah, why would we add drugs? We gave this to the children as well, you’re really a dumb feral woman sometimes... Seriously,” sighed my mother.
“Hahaha, as harsh as ever,” said Ninhursag.
“Mom! Don’t be so rude with people...” I said.
My mother noticed she had gone a bit too out of her usual dignified nature because she was relaxing too much between friends, and probably let go of her actual and usual nature as a friend, she noticed this and tried to apologize.
“S-Sorry... I didn’t mean it like that... We often joke around. That’s what adults do, dear...” said my mother.
“Those are some pretty rude jokes!” I said.
“Well yes... But even then, it’s not like she’s crying or something, right? She’s completely okay and fine! Look at her, radiant as ever.” Said my mother, pointing at Ninhursag and Nepheline.
“I don’t really care.” Said Nepheline.
“Since I remember her that she had treated others like this, you would die if you were to know how she used to treat your father...” said Ninhursag.
My mother quickly blushed a bit as she tried to make Ninhursag stop.
“Stop! Don’t say a single word!” said my mother.
“Hahaha! I remember it! She was super rude all the time. Poor Allan, sometimes he felt pretty down. She was a strict teacher, but she also got a sharp tongue... Calling him “a talentless idiot” and other times a “muscle brain that only thinks with hiss word” and how to forget that time she called him a “brainless ape” that one time! Hahahaha!” laughed Nepheline.
“Eeeeh?! How can you call daddy like that, mom!?” I asked.
“T-That was in the past! The past! Years ago... I stopped calling my dear husband like that, Nepheline! Stop laughing!” roared my mother.
“Y-Yeah, she’s now all lovey-dovey with Allan, it is very hilarious how much he tamed her...” laughed Nepheline.
“T-That’s... S-Stop already...” sighed my mother while crossing her arms.
