A card was locked between my two fingers, and it shone with golden brilliance.

“That is—!!!” Neron’s calm outlook broke apart.

‘That’s right…’ My grin grew wider.

It was a present that I was going to give this man… something only he could utilize to its full potential.

“—An Arcana?!”

Not just any Arcana. It was one of the most difficult to use. It was also most instrumental in my three years of training…

… The Hermit Arcana!

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

During my time at the base made by my friends and me in my past life, I was able to spend at least over a hundred years in training and research.

It felt like time was moving so slowly that the world was still. I defied the laws of nature and exceeded my limits as a result of the extensive period I was granted.

But, that couldn’t last forever.

All Arcanas—with certain exceptions—were not self-sufficient. They required some sort of energy for them to activate.

Without energy, they were simply cards with vast potential and dormant Magic circuits.

The Tower Arcana in my possession required the simple charge of Mana, making it easy for me to use.

The Devil Arcana of the Demon Race simply multiplied the surrounding Miasma it fed on, creating a self-sufficient atmosphere full of negative energy.

Unfortunately, the Hermit Arcana consumed something that had a steep cost.

—Mana Cores!

It consumed too many Mana Cores per use.

While its powers were well worth it, I couldn’t sustain the use of the Arcana. The hundred years I spent in the base was only possible due to the Arcana’s passive ability to store Mana over the years.

Over five hundred years of storing Mana only lasted me three years of use, and everything ran dry. I also had to support the effects of the Arcana with several artificial Mana Cores and Spellcraft.

If I hadn’t, it may not have lasted a year.

Once I came to the realization of its greedy nature, the decision to give it away became much easier to make.

In my two lifetimes, there was only one person I knew who possessed enough fee to sustain the Hermit Arcana.

Neron Kaelid was his name.

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

“Here!” I said, throwing the card at the surprised man.

He caught it thanks to reflex, but Neron’s eyes never left me. However, after a few seconds of holding the Card, I could see his expression change.

“This… it resonates with my Original Magic.

Of course!

That was the second reason I wanted Neron to have this Arcana.

“It utilizes Time Magic.”

But, unlike Neron’s Magic which was restricted in many ways, the Arcana interfered with the world itself. In essence, if he could completely control it… he could once again attain a higher realm.

“Jared… you’re giving this to me? Why?” Neron’s body quivered as he spoke.

“Because… I’m stuck.”

“Stuck?”

“Yeah. I can’t use that thing. So, when you figure out the kinks and everything… I’ll ask you to teach me how you did it.”

Even I had my limits.

I couldn’t dedicate my entire time to learning something too complex.

‘Since Neron is more specialized in that field, it’ll be easier if he figures it out and tells me.’

Once that happened, I could make The Hermit’s Magic my own.

“Huhuhu… Hehehehe… Kekekeke…”

My lips parted as I watched Neron chuckle in excitement.

“Well then, Jared, I accept this gift!”

I nodded.

‘That’s one out of four…’

Only three Arcanas were left in my possession.

The Tower

The Sun

And The Hanged Man.

Well, the latter was currently at work, so…

As for The Sun, I had plans for that.

“Now, I won’t be bored for some time… to think you’d have Arcanas.”

At least he was aware of their existence. As expected of someone as brilliant as Neron.

“I found them by chance… among other things.”

Neron’s face brightened up once I mentioned yet another interesting subject. He probably wanted me to speak some more, but that was about everything I would be giving him… at least alone.
