Maester

*Whoooshhhhh!!

Ah, back to this isekai world…come to think of it i never heard of this world name before at all.

Right after me, Lady Alicia jump out of dimension crack a bit too forcefully, i hurriedly used my body to received her just in case she might fail to land it.

We end up hug each others, It's certainly feel awkward like this and her body is…so soft.

Lady Alicia blush a bit and just say ‘Let's me down already’

I think she might be trust me a bit more compared to before.

She must have feel embarrassed the fact that she have to lean on me, while i'm not exactly reliable, i hope she can relax a bit more beside me.

After i settle Lady Alicia down, she took out small refrigerator she ordered me to bought it in my world out from her her handbag, and set it down on top table inside of room.

“*Huuu, Yuuma for time being you will learn how to use mana here in my room, i will teach you a basic in easy to understand manner, it won't make you become stronger in instant but, you will have more card on hand to deal with opponents.”

‘But before that’

Lady Alicia then walk toward her room door, checking the spell for any abnormalities.

Her face frown a little.

“There is…sight of someone tried to tamper with my barrier but they failed to break it, it seem we don't have much time left.”

Lady Alicia then point to ground at center of her room, she then used telekinesis to lift the carpet up throw it to side, then she walk toward center of room, put one of hand and then release mana in center of room.

The blue light from her hand resonate with hidden magic circle on floor. active it.

“This is the core of barrier i set up in my room, it have severals effect like barrier against physical and magical attack, soundproof, vision block, illusion and so on.”

“But most important function of this cirlce is Artificial Dragon Vein, or in simplier time, Circle that can gather large amount of mana in surrounding to gather here in this room, especially in the center.”

“If you just stand in centet of circle without create mana circle in you heart like mage or abdomen like knight you might suffer from due sudden influxe of large amount of mana enter one body then die in agony.”

Lady Alicia kindly explain it to me unlike when she teach me physical education or swordsmanship.

“Your body is a bit too weak right now due you only been training under me for week, I originally plan to train you body a bit more for about 1 month to make sure you body be able properly handle mana, but due time difference in your world, we have no choice but to skip that step.”

“We won't go for traditional route since i find that inefficiently, what i plan to do is to destroy your current body and change your body essences, what made up body in your world is called atom right?

It's similar to my theory i researched, and thank to knowledge i gained from your world, i think i can alter this circle efficiency by severals time over.”

Lady Alicia her eye soften and give me a small smile.

“Unlike normal mage, After reconstructed my body i don't think i can be consider human any longer, so i started to call myself a Maester.

A being capable of flawlessly wield the power of magic yet still power strength of knight.

I never met anyone else like me who is capable of mastered both path like me, while there plenty of those who can use both but they are only half-baked being.

“The method i created, i named it mana-integrated body enhancement, it's method i created to improve my body to become as strong as knight or even stronger while still have great reserve of mana and ability to use magic like that of magus.

But this method have dangerous side effect too.

First their original body before use this method must be way above average physical standard.

Second each part of your body must already saturated with mana.

Third, your mind must be strong enough to endure the pain of body disintegration and reconstruction to ideal form.”

‘Taken inspiration from your world, should i call this improved version Mana-integrated body enhancement V2?’

Lady Alicia chuckle lightly

“Unlike before, I will teach you everything i know, i will consider you the same as my own, you will learn what i known and i shall learn what you known.”

“I will tell you this first, use this method mean you will experience death and will reborn as higher level of existence capable of use mana like breathing the air.

It have very high risk of failure even if i were to improve it, even if i assist you the chance of success solely depend on your willpower.

What you told me before, about willing to do anything for me.

So, Let's me ask you this, Are you willing to die for me?”

I already made my resolved clear already and i have no intention to take it back, i nod solemnly toward her question.

“If it for you Lady Alicia, I gladly throw my life away anytime.”

That's my most truest thought from deep of my soul.

Alicia whose been using mana for while now, Her eyes growing in azure blue light, i knew that she possesses ability to read others people mind or determine the truth.

She nod lightly, with contended smile.

“It will take some time for me to adjust this magic circle to improve it stability, enchance it capabilities and reduce the risk of failure.

Is there any question you want to ask me?”

Lady Alicia who usually just used hand-on real experience to train other, suddenly switch to this style is…really she turned from cold-heart iron-blooded instructor to kind and beautiful patience teacher in instant.

I mean i do like both side of her but this look of her….make my heart feel like it gonna leap out of my chest.

But since she give me a chance to ask about her, i can't waste chance like this!

I need to know more about this world so i can protect her better, i can ask about herself later!

“What is miss Alicia favourite food?”

‘Ahh, crap my body act completely different from my mind. I'm such a idiot!’

“I like sweets, especially milk and strawberry based one, although i do not like chocolate at all since my tongue are sensitive to bitter you see.”

My eyes widen at that fact that even that stupid question of mine get answered properly.

“T-then what is your hobby miss?”

“I do enjoy research and experiment with how to use my magic more efficiently, the variation of the spell, and naming the spell i created? It usually take me several days to decided on name too but i enjoyed thinking about it”

Alicia patiencely answer question i asked while she still focus on adjusting the magic circle.

After that instead of ask about this world, i end up ask several questions about her like how her relationship with her family, her age, her birthday, does she have any friend she get along and bunch others question.

Aside from question about her family, she doesn't seem to have any issue with answer the others.

Thanks to this i finally begun to know the one known as Alicia de Roswell, as person, how she lived.

And my feeling for her only continue grow stronger the more that i come to know her.

*******************************

Several hours later.

“I'm done adjusted it, the efficiency and effectiveness increase by 526% compared to original, after i'm done with transform your body, i need to start to alter my body state too.”

“Now, now come sit here in center"

Lady Alicia beckon me to come with her hand.

“Remove your shirt and sit down there”

I did as i was told, remove my shirt reveal my toned and firm body thank to result of lady alicia training despite it only last 1 week but feel like years of beating.

Then i sit down in middle of mana circle glowing in brilliant azure blue light.

“*Phew, Are you preapred yourself Yuuma? It will hurt even than all training you experienced so far”

I give her a smile and thump up to reassure her.

“Do not worry miss, I will show it to you, that my determination to be by yourside is not fake, just a moment of passion!”

Alicia smile deepen.

“Then ready, i will start now”

Suddenly the pressure on surrounding instantly increase by several fold and it continue to grow stronger each second.

“Endure it, prove your determination as my one and only knight”

I grit my teeth endure the pressure and pain that feel like it tearing my entire body apart.

Alicia place her hand on my back then she start channel her mana to Yuuma body, start process of altering his entire body anew.

“Guk!! *sound of yuuma gritted his teeth”

“Don't lose your consciousness! The moment you do, the reconstruction will fail and your mind will collapse! Endure it!”

Blood start to pour from every hole in Yuuma body, he body slowly begun process of destruction to atom.

The pain is unimaginable unless one experienced it themselves.

The feeling of his body and soul tearing apart and yet, Yuuma even in pain determined, continue to only think about Alicia, enduring this agony pain without loss his mind.

Eventually after who know how much time passed, his body being destroyed to point of nothing left behind, begun to reconstruct itself, in form far superior compared to before.

Yuuma, or being once known as Yuuma Kanzaki has be born anew.

His body grew taller, his skin slightly darken, his black hair grew long enough to reach his back, his muscle density and size increased much more compared to before, and since his body cell is made entirely with mana, every single part of his body is considered mana core.

Alicia feel tired after spent several hours continue to make small but critical re-adjustment on Yuuma body.

She lightly pat his reborn body shoulder from behind.

“Congratulations on reborn as higher level of exist, You has become Maester like me, Since this is worth celebration, do you want something?

A new Yuuma, his expression unlike before become cold and close to expressionless but that due him not used to his new body so his body function are a bit too stiff right now.

It took him a while to slowly open his mouth.

“….A name….please give me….a new name”

“I see…..then i will give you a new name, for your new self.

Aside from your original name Yuuma Kanzaki.

You shall be known as Yusra le Chevalier de Alysia”

“Yusra meaning in this world ancient language it mean Beloved Protector and Alysia is variation of my name Alicia.

so your name have meaning of Beloved protector, the knight of Alicia.

Do you like them?”

Yuuma now knowns as Yusra smile gently at Alicia.

“I like it…very much so"

“I'm glad then"

Alicia smile back in response to his word.

But when i tried to move my body to turn toward her, she hurry bring both of hands completely cover her face.

And yet on her face i can still that it become redden like deep shade of red and her eyes closed.

“So, can you find something to cover your lower part now?.

….It's embrassing.

“Ah…”

It seem like the ritual also disintegrated all my cloth too left me completely naked.
