29 Vol1 Earth-2-
"So you're saying ..." Gong Yun still refuse to believe it. But he had to swallow the image of a frown man who secretly had a small flame in his hand.
Yes! That stranger just put his hand to air and made a magic move.
Really! I mean making a small flame from hands is really cliche. Then all the fantasy movies had a true sides inside them ha..weird. I wonder what other cliches in movies are actually real.
..
Yun decided from inside. Someday when If he had to prove someone magic, he would never use fire. Wait! My element is electricity. Can I light a fire even if I want to? I have to ask my master.
"Brother. Can you tell me why are you this surprised?"
Gong Yun noticed that the bar he was looking just closed. He had no reason to stay there. But he decided to stick around for some questions. So, "Let me buy you a cup of tea. Let me tell you and maybe you could explain my questions. I will try my best to explain everything."
He spoke in such a normal tone that Yun was alarmed for a moment because he did not use respectful words like the people in the Wuxia novels. Yun really didn't know anything about these magicians or cultivators. Actually he didn't even know how they call themselves.
"Okay, brother. And now it looks like we are gonna see each other in this neighborhood. Look, did you see the small buffet on the street? Then you can see the shop next to it. An underwear shop. It is where I work.
Gong Yun "..."
????
..
Ten minutes later Gong Yun was relieved when he realized that this foreign wizard wasn't working in an lingerie shop. If that was real, Yun would have to commit suicide.
This man rebelled against his family and bought small shops with his accumulated money. He swore not to come home until his own little business became a little business kingdom. For the time being, the easiest way to make money was buying four small shops.
He was buying shops in such a way that the costs were very low and the products did not change much. Thus, he agreed with a fixed institution, put people he trusted in the shops and was enjoying his pleasures all day. Time to time he does check everything and continue his own things.
Gong unintentionally laughed and sipped his tea. He was really relieved.
"I've been working in restaurants for a long time. If you're going to be in that sector, you can ask me everything you want. Anyway my name is Gong Yun." A name that shows how much my family hated me when I was born.
He didn't say the last words and took another sip of his tea. Actually Gong Yun didn't like the tea. He put too much sugar with excitement. But at thesame time, he realy need something to distract him from a mental collapse.
"My name is Wang Meng. Also, I'll tell you without you ask. I hate that famous author. So don't open that topic!"
Because of what Wang Meng said, Yun suddenly softened.
"Hahaha..."
"Hey don't laugh!"
"You'r having the same name of a famous writer. You got away from your family and bought lingerie shops. And you're also a wizard! Every person would laugh bro. Give me a break. Hahaha"
..
Gong Yun finished his tea and cut a leaf from the tree behind him. When playing with Leaf, he answered some of the questions Wang Meng asked.
"Yes. I met a master a few months ago. He took me to a very strange world. It was a strange place full of magic and magical creatures. He told me a few things and sent me back."
"Haa! Are you kidding me. What magical creature? What another world? I don't believe. Are you sure you didn't hop on a spaceship and went to Mars?"
"I'm not joking."
Wang Meng had lived in an over-modernized magic world. The magicians weren't very different from normal people. They were using subway or traveling by airplanes.
There were no other worlds, magical lands or secret missions in the Earth. But when Yun mentioned a lot about those things in detail, Wang doubted first and then started to believe him.
"You're not screwing with me, are you Bro?"
Yun shook his head and smiled. "I have seen many abnormal things but the most importand thing was my master. He took me and gave me magic. Months ago, I was just a normal civilian."
Wang really didn't want to accept the weird stuff and asked for the last time, "..and didn't you know that there were magicians in the Earth before?
"I am even not so religious. My mother even turn her head away when people talk about gods or spirits. I am very similar to my mother. If I hadn't really gone to a magical place, and my master came near me here, I might not believe it too."
"Now I have to tell you something. Normally, the wizards look at each other in a competitive eye. So pleas-"
"I know Wang. I shouldn't tell anyone about these. But I'm not someone who's going to join the world of magic.
I'm a new graduate. I work in a restaurant. I have a few things to do. So I'm not likely to meet any other wizards exept."
Wand nodded.
"I got it. You don't need to fear other master, but don't talk to people at our ages. They can get jealous and try to cripple you. You can trust the very old generations. But young people like us are definitely too sensitive about their inheritence or power."
On that day, Yun learned how the magicians lived in Earth. What they eat..what they enjoy or their favourite sport activities.
Two young man sat and talked hours, drank tea or eat junk food. The stranger Wang was no longer a stranger after three hours.
He was a funny and rebellious friend.
..
...
I bam..ba. Bam! (Door Knocking)
Yun was watching a documentary named "If the science of biology had not invented in the past, how today would be?*
Yun was at home and it was just 11am in the morning. He was drinking cold water in his bed.
"Yuuuun !!! Somebody here asks you."
Yun stood in his bed, left the computer on his laps to bed and ran to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a man next to his neighbor, smiling shyly.
"Aunty, thank you."
After his old neighbor went to her own house, Yun showed that he could go inside.
"Welcome. Did you find the house easily?"
Wang hesitantly approved. "I'm actually living very close. I laughed inside when you said the address yesterday. Hahaha ..."
Yun took his computer from the bedroom and moved to the hall.
"What do you want to drink?"
"It would be great if there is cold water.
Wang moved like he have been hanging out in this house for 40 years, and opened the fridge without asking. He found the cold water and sat on the couch next to Yun.
"I'll ask you something-" said Yun, but before finishing the question Wang just answered.
"Just because I can make fire spells and my element is fire; doesn't protect me from this hellish sun. I'm just a beginner wizard like you!! It is really hot ouside bro!"
Gong Yun "..."
..
Wang described the things that were normally other magicians ashamed to tell the the others. Even Gong Yun was sad when Wang told him that he was bad for learning magic and that he was the most incompetent person in his clan. His body just wasn't right to evolve with magic energies. But people from his family accepted this as "he is stupid and not talented!"
"If I have the chance to help you someday, I will Wang."
Wang just smiled and felt warm inside with Gong Yun's words. But deep inside, he knew that body type was a biological legacy and would not change. The Wuxia and Fantasy Novels always told as if it was very easy to improve the bodies.
But the benefits of living on a modern planet were that everything was very clear. If you are genetically impotent, even if you have 100 Magical Potions, you won't change.
The most bitter thing was there was really no magic potions or plants for these problems.
Even though the modern world gave a lot of good things, there were bad aspects as well.
But Wang didn't tell about this stuff. He just continued with his funny answers.
"What were you watching, brother?" T
This time he met someone who is a lucky and talented wizard. Wang excitedly wondered what his new friend was doing in his spare time..
Could have been a homework given by his mysterious master or a private spell education.
"History of technology for dummies - What would happen to people without biology - The unknown history of construction ...."
"..." Wang Meng
????
Now, it was Wang Meng's turn to wonder whether to laugh or cry.
..
They had a lreally little lunch together. Talked about a lot of different things.
Like Yun had been under a strange spell since yesterday, he talked about everything without hiding things. Maybe except for his master Eren and their research about building some houses :/
He talked about the life that he normally experienced, the master he had met shortly before, and the magic he was just trying to learn.
As he didn't get into details about Eren and Kelewan(the famous fucking magic planet), he left the details to Wang's imagination.
"Come on now. It's my turn to buy something to you, Yun!"
He let Gong Yun grab a few books that would be read today pulled his arm while dragging him out. But Yun thought that they would go to large and expensive restaurant with Wang's rich identity. In fact, they walked to a small soup soup in the neighborhood.
"Guess this place belongs to who, Yun?"
"To you?"
"No waay! I just meant that it will be mine one day. Hahaha. One day all the people in my family will look at me and cry because they treated me badly!"
First I will be the richest man in the our City of Changzhou, and then I will be richest in our country. In final richest in the world, Yun! I will make them cry with regrets..
Gong Yun "..."
..
Gong Yun shook his head and continue listening to Wang's genius or idiotic future plans. Yun also ordered soup and a few good sidedishes.
Yun understood that his new friend had some loneliness. He looked handsome. Also he was kind of rich among normal people. But he was all alone, away from his family, without a friend. Also stupid part was that he was a magician with an extra poor talent and genetically bad body from the birth.
Wang was a strange person who lived a strange life in a twisted world that no one could predict. And with his magician identity, things became even more absurd.
He remembered an issue Eren had mentioned.
"Could someone from above write ridiculous scenarios on purpose?"
Yun spent the whole afternoon looking around the area and asking Wang Meng about his questions. After the soup, they ate ice cream which really goes well in summer.
They looked rather childish at the time. But spending time without thinking was good for both of them.
One had the burden of two worlds on his shoulders, the other carried the problems of being thrown out of the house and clan by his family.
At one point Wang took out a small usb from the pocket and handed it to Gong Yun.
"I've been thinking about whether you're a secret master, hypocrite, or anything else since morning, but I guess you're really new in the magic world. Also I feel like trusting you no matter how much I try to. Ah also, no one should know that I gave you this, brother.
When you leave work at midnight, come to my shop. I have a surprise for you."
Yun just bumped him with his shoulder and laughed while leaving for his work. It was almost three pm.
"Thank you bro. See you after work."
Yun took the tiny USB and put it in his pocket. He didn't have time to see what's inside because they don't have a computer at the restaurant.
But while he was taking the usb, a family man, taking pictures of his wife and little girl by camera, was whispering as secretly looking at Gong Yun.
"The target made an imprecise move. Transfer the matter to the competent supervisor and ask for permission for close contact with the mortal!"
The women and the little girl who took the images in the camera disappeared in seconds.
The man who just smiled to his little daughter turned his back. He was staring Yun with a curious look. After a few seconds, the man slowly entered an alley and continued to look at Gong Yun from afar.
