"Well Kazuma, I will go think up what I will use to pay. But I won't be paying in money. I am broke at the moment so I guess I would be having a bit of time what service I can give you. But for now, I need to prepare for the confrontation tomorrow. I don't want to fail the mission and die in a very bad way, laters," Yaya said and snaps her fingers causing her to become a water puddle and slithers across the floor.

"I also need to go, I had a mission coming up so I won't be home for two days. Practice hard Kazuma," Moonlight said and snaps her fingers before she disappeared out of thin air. I guess she teleported. Damn, when will I get to learn those skills?

"Kazuma, I know what you are thinking and I was on your state before when I was in similar rank as you but be patient. Rome is not built in one day 1 , Kazuma. You should practice slowly and don't rush it,"Volta pat my shoulders.

"Well, then, would you like to learn now? One weapon equals one month of payment. How does that sound?"

"Alright that would work," I nodded. Honestly, that is more than enough. As long as it is payment, I don't mind.

Volta snapped his fingers and a metal card appeared on his hands. He handed me the metal card and I never expected that it was lighter than I thought. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"That is a metal card that stores a bit of magic. Since you have no idea about this one, let me give you a single magic card of Lightning Bolt."

"A magic card?" I inspect the metal card and saw nothing extraordinary about it other than the fact that it is lightweight and it is made of metal instead of cardboard or something.

"Hold it for a second. Let me transmit a skill on it,"Volta said and clapped his hands together.

I don't understand much what he was doing but after a few more seconds, I saw sparks of electricity on his hands that looks like a snake crawling in his arms. I also felt my hair rising like it was being attracted to a strong force. Is this static energy? Before I knew it, Volta shot out a huge burst of electricity towards me. I was surprised but I closed my eyes.

Trust Volta... nothing will go wrong... I hope...

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a strong vibration in my hands. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the electricity shot out from Volta's hands and I was wrong because I thought that arc of electricity was about to shot me. Instead, it was directly shot towards the metal card.

"Huh?" I looked at the metal card on my hand. It was a white metal card at first but after the arc of electricity shot out and hit the card, the white color slowly turned into a violet color and a magic circle slowly formed into the card. Soon, the plain white look of the card turned into a card that looks like it was embroidened with violet runes. Aside from that is the magic circle itself. It was slowly spinning which looks magical to my eyes.

"Done!" Volta said as withdraw back the electricity on his hands.

"Eh? Tha's it? Nothing else?" I frowned. Isn't that too simple?

"You think it was so simple right? Actually no. I had to make sure that the spell don't break from the card itself. Accidents happen if I failed on doing so, that is why I made a weapon that is simple and easy to be made," Volta explained.

"This is a weapon? Then how the heck will I use this?" I flip the card back and forth and only the magic circle rotating is reflected on both sides along with the floating runes that I have no idea what they mean for.

"Alright. But first, let me explain the card itself. We call this as the Magic Card Arcana or Arcana for short. It is a widely used weapon by magicians and those who are apprentices and had been learning magic from their masters yet are always fond on using Arcanas to fend off enemies and rival alike. They are consumable and portable and despite the user of the Arcana lacks with mana to conjure magic, they can still use the magic stored inside the Arcana."

"Wow! So its like a real card game like those animes I have seen so far where they duel and activates magic card and trap cards 2 ?"

"Ahem... yeah, but it didn't need to shout like that anime to activate the effect of the Arcana and explain to your opponent its very effects. Its unnecessary. Anyway, back to the topic. Since you have yet to learn any kind of Electric Type Magic, then this is the best time to gain a magic skill temporarily which would help us on the battle tommorow. Now, this magic is a bit destructive, so lets move outside on your yard," Volta said.

I nodded and followed him to the yard. Its still dark outside and the houses around the neighborhood are not yet on. This is a perfect time.

"Let me cast a noise barrier and vision barrier first. At least, to be safe," Volta said and draw a straight line into the ground before slamming the ground with his palm.

" Oppositum Tumultus 3 ! Obice Vision 4 !"

Dang!

As soon as he said that, some heavy presence suddenly engulf around us. It was like we are encased in a sort of weird place.

"Now, Kazuma, since we are inside a barrier, any sound that will occur won't be revealed outside the barrier and no one will see us here. Now, I will teach you how to use the Arcana. First, throw it into the ground around the radius of 2 meters from your target. Beyond that is useless unless its a projectile arcana where distance is nothing. After doing that, you need to move a bit far on its range and clap your hands. Take note that you need to make a mental command to where the magic should land or strike or else it won't activate. This is a useful method for sneak attack and as long as the target is around the radius of the Arcana, the magic inside it would immediately activate. Now, here is the catch. The Arcana you are holding right now only holds five uses. After five uses, the Arcana will revert back to a metal card which is why, you need to remember how many times you have used it on a battle because it might screw you up royally if you messed up on deployment."

I nodded and decided to try it out. I looked around the yard and saw a small rock sticking out the lawn. Since I don't want to use animals as test subject and plants are also a no, a rock should be it. I sent the card via telekinesis. Well, you know, for practice purposes.

After doing so, I clapped my hands together and stare into the rock. Just as I was thinking to hit the rock, a quick violent arc of electricity shot out from the card into the rock that I targeted! I was surprised by the sudden thunderclap that I unconsciously move backwards.

"Kazuma, don't get easily startled by that small thunderclap. Remember, our enemy tommorow might turn out much more terrifying than that." This phrase was a French proverb in the late 1100s but was not recorded in English until 1545. Reference to Yu-Gi-Oh franchise.
