The Villain Can't Lose

The next morning I was engrossed in thinking about the plot and was trying to remember the upcoming events.

But as I tried to recall, certain things that I had experienced didn't even make any sense, as per how the story was going.

I tried to remember the lines from the book but nothing was coming to my mind right now, "the events..." I punched my face with a soft silk pillow, "aarrgh!" I gritted my teeth, nothing was helping me to remember those small events.

Although these small events in the story weren't big in themselves, that was also what led the story it its original ending.

The era wasn't too bad, and people still were calling each other Dukes and princes, but what... 'Wait!' A sudden memory of a prince went through my head...

I recalled that the prince was the one who was behind all the schemes and was also the one who manipulated the main villain, Rowen, to act this way.

Thinking this through, I got up putting the pillow down.

It made sense. The crown prince!

The crown was behind all of this in the first place... Human trafficking, the demon summons, 'how the fuck did Rowen's father learn how to make a contract with a demon in the first place...? It's because the king is his first-line cousin, and all of this was related to the main enemy of the story.

The demon who possessed Hector's body, later on, took the control of Rowen. And Rowen being stubborn as he was, just couldn't control the power of the demon inside him and could only be defeated.

Everything was connected.

"Oh yeah," then I remembered something more, "this guy, the crown prince, summoned a demon and then he used its power to kill the king in the later part of the story!"

But this was for further events to foresee, right now my primary goal was to become stronger and get everyone on my side, everyone that was strong and powerful, including Nari.

Leaving the bed, I went near Rowen's private library, 'his power...' quickly taking a look through the books, a thought went through my mind. Rowen's power was something that I needed to learn how to control properly.

Now that I had Zuri, I was confident that I would struggle less, but if I remember reading it correctly, Rowen's true and real power remained undiscovered before the demon took his body.

"The mirror technique..." I murmured while going through the old books in Rowen's library.

I didn't know the exact name of it but I needed to know how he controlled his power. Maybe this way I can control mine better.

As I shuffled through the books, I could feel something in my heart telling me that this was the right path to follow, and I could also feel that the book could give me answers.

And that was when my finger's arrived at a certain book titled, MIRROR TECHNIQUE. I grabbed it at once and opened it.

While skimming through the first few pages, I found a really interesting paragraph, 'The Mirror technique is a special magic that allows the user to reflect magic energy into any other object.'

I was a bit dazed after reading through this.

Now that I think about it, it was weird when I knew what to do when I killed that man yesterday, but it also could be all thanks to Zuri again.

I kept reading through the lines and found another passage, 'By using this technique, the user can increase his power, for example, he can increase his fire magic by reflecting it to a weapon or another person.'

This was a piece of very good news for me, but not the question. How do I do that? Is it similar to a shield that I used before? Or will I just have to hold onto an object and I will be able to reflect the magic with it?

I flipped over the page and found a sentence which said, 'To use the Mirror technique, one needs to be able to create a shield or wall against the opponent's attack.'

'Wait,' I thought of something, 'it won't work if the opponent doesn't hit you, right?'ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Because if it didn't work unless the opponent hit me, this would be rendered ineffective and also only waste my own energy.

I was confused about the whole concept of this technique, but I needed to know the details as soon as possible.

Rowen had become the second strongest in the academy after he met his master who also trained the protagonist of the story, Dante, but I had to learn and master the technique completely before I entered the academy.

I could feel the magic within myself, but I couldn't just get a hold of what I needed to do.

"THUDD"

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ I closed the book and took it to the bed for further examination.

The only thing I liked about this place was that I was the master there, and if I wanted to lay down in bed and do absolutely nothing, I could do so, without caring about anything.

After reading what was written about the Magic Mirror in the book, I tried to understand it.

I lay down, staring at the ceiling.

I lifted my right hand up, 'how do I make the effect in the first place, what do I really lack?' I thought to myself trying.

I focused on my magic and I tried to do what I was supposed to do as mentioned. I kept my fingers open and concentrated on them, 'ooh, that's it.'

And that was when I felt the energy flowing through my veins as I spread it onto the palm of my hand.

Feeling the energy at the tip of my fingers, I extended my fingers towards the bed and formed a circle with my fingers.

I could feel the Magic energy running through my body and feel my inner power growing. My veins became hot and the energy started to flow into my palm.

My body started to become numb while my chest tightened and my heartbeat quickened.

All these sensations filled my being alerting my whole body.

I held my breath and let the magic flow into the bed's cover, and soon enough, I had created a protective barrier between myself and the cover, 'wha-what is this?' I gasped, as my heart began beating faster and harder in my chest.

My body was burning up and my muscles were tensing and relaxing all at once. This was the first time that I ever felt such an incredible rush of energy coursing through my body.

My body seemed to be boiling, "I ca-can't believe it!" I grasped jumping from the spot in surprise.

I couldn't see even the surface of the cover because it was covered by white light, but I could sense that the magic was running through its material, creating a very thin layer of ice.

I was amazed by how much power I could generate and how quickly it worked, but why was everything so easy to control?

Was it really so easy to learn?

The real Rowen struggled for a few weeks in the academy just to do what I did now, 'something was not right here...' I was alarmed, I released my hand quickly as this thought came into my mind and the effect of the created magic disappeared.

Something important was missing, something that could make me lose and die.

I definitely couldn't make any errors and confusion wasn't a choice for me. I couldn't struggle or fall, as I knew that it only takes one mistake for someone to go down in history.
