Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

134 Mother And Daughter Time

—–

“We taught Blood Magic alongside Life Magic around... five hundred years ago I believe. However, we instantly stopped after a certain incident killed a child...” mother said with a sigh as she covered her face.

Damn... to think Blood Magic could get that out of control... I guess my mother was right in certain things.

In a fight against an opponent, it can easily be stopped. But how about playing around with someone else, or in a friendly spar where both mages only try to take on each other’s magic using barriers?

Apparently, unlike other elements, Blood Magic didn’t show a visual response of any sort. Blood Magic controlled blood but doesn’t create it, or at least not in the low tier spells which cause all these problems.

So, while the children play with it and try to see who’s stronger by taking magic attacks with shields, which commonly happens as friendly spars accepted in the academy to settle down rivalries or even as tests, Blood Magic ends up being deadly and dangerous.

Unexperienced children can commit many mistakes. After all, they’re still in their stage of learning. It’s natural to commit mistakes and do some things incorrectly. It’s the stage of one’s life where one begins to learn through a lot of trial and error. Nobody’s perfect after all. Even the most experienced person was once very unexperienced in doing things.

“Because you can’t really see blood until... it comes out of the target, plus young magicians lack insight and Mana Vision to detect the flow of their own spells, they cannot detect where they’re bringing the spell’s effects. Many times, they end up causing the death of others by bursting... internal organs and more. Ah, sorry. I shouldn’t really tell you this, dear. But you seem oddly mature for your age, and you’ve gone through your fair share of gory experiences, so I doubt this really affects you at this point. Plus, it’s good to be realistic sometimes with children, so they understand well... so, for now, until you become at least Tier 3, I won’t be teaching you Blood Magic,” she told.

I see... but I have Heavenly Sight so I can easily detect any magic... Then again, I guess the reasons that my mother has are very fair, so I won’t urge it any further.

.....

It also makes me wonder of her past... she was a teacher in the Magic Academy for a long time it seems, alongside being a librarian... I wonder how many experiences she’s had.

“I understand, mom... I get it. Don’t worry about it. I won’t ask any further, and I won’t use Blood Extraction carelessly,” I promised her.

“I know you won’t, dear. But it goes against my code to teach you this for now... However, don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll do it. I’m sure you’ll have good affinity for it...” mother said as she sat down on her chair. Her radiant and gentle smile made her more beautiful compared to other times. I wanted to act like a spoiled girl with my mama, so I decided to sit on her warm and soft lap. Her thighs were very niec.

“I get it. Don’t worry. More importantly, Mama, can I sit?” I asked.

“Oh my, little Sylph. You still want to sit on mommy’s lap? Sure, my love.” she said with a light chuckle as she let me sit over her lap.

Ahh~ Mom’s lap is the best.

She smiled cutely as she kissed my forehead and hugged me from behind.

“You’re growing so fast, but you’re still mama’s girl, aren’t you?” she could not help but say.

“Yeah, I love you mama,” I said as I hugged her back.

“Ahh~ Sylphy, you’re so cute! Did you realize your mommy is a beauty?” she giggled.

“You’re very pretty, mommy. Will I one day grow to be as pretty as you?” I wondered.

“Of course! You’re already so pretty... like... prettier than any girl I’ve ever seen in my life... you’ll become the prettiest there is,” she said in response.

My mother really likes to spoil me rotten when I had not done anything that angered her... I guess she’s not angry all the time.

“Hehehe, you’re exaggerating...” I said as I hugged her belly and rubbed my face over her chest. It was puffy because she had quite large breasts. They were also so soft... I remember that I used to dislike them because I was being forced to drink milk. Then again, using them as a pillow is not bad at all.

“Fufu, why would I be exaggerating? You’re not only pretty, you’re also a magic genius, and also a sword genius! What else can’t you be, dear? You’re destined for greatness,” she said.

“I guess you have a lot of expectations from me... I just hope that... if I end up disappointing you, that you don’t get angry at me...” I could not help but say.

“Eh? W-Why would... you ever disappoint me, dear?” she asked, caressing my red hair.

“I-I don’t know... maybe I’m just insecure about the future... even with all the talents, there are many things that could happen. Who knows?” I told her in response.

“Hmm... those aren’t things a little girl should worry about... relax, Sylphy,” she assured me.

“O-Okay... maybe I should really take it easy,” I said in response.

“Indeed, how about you take a break today and spend it with mommy? Hmm? Ah! I wanted to go to bed to take a nap. Want to cuddle with me?” she asked.

“Okay!” I nodded.

Mommy brought me to bed, and she began to cuddle with me and tickle me around. She played with me and kissed my cheeks and forehead, hugging me lovingly until we ended up falling asleep together... these little moments are what I treasure the most.

...

As I rested by my mother’s side, she hugged me with her arms as I felt her heartbeat.

It was so soothing.

I think this is the best.

And she was so warm too.

It had begun to get cold around here as of now, so cuddling in bed these cold days is the best.

I wish daddy joined so we could all take a family nap, but he’s working outside in the fields like he always does.

However... I suddenly heard another heartbeat, a smaller one.

Wait, is this my heartbeat?

No...

I moved my head near mommy’s tummy, realizing that there was a small little heart beating there.

Eh?!

My mom is...
