"Ugh, dammit it's hurt!"
Jane held her head as if she was in terrible pain, she slowly opened her eyes, her vague vision gradually became clear.
What was seen in her eyes was only a white roof, white walls with several medical tools on the table.
She sat down and then looked at her surroundings which looked like in a medical room, "Where is this?"
She remembered clearly that last time she was in her experimental room doing a forbidden magic experiment which results had caused a tremendous explosion, then she fainted and... it seemed like she couldn't remember what happened next.
Suddenly the sound of the door opened and showed a middle-aged man wearing a doctor's set. He looked at Jane, "You just woke up?"
"... yeah" Jane still doesn't have an idea what really happened.
"Where is this?" she asked.
"Nurse room"
"Eh..." Which nurse room?
She daze for a moment, suddenly she was shocked as if she was thinking of something that was hard to believe, 'Don't tell me I returned to her original world? or maybe a supreme level of Illusion Magic?'
Let see...
"Err... Doctor, what happened to me?" She asked awkwardly.
The doctor looked bewildered as he explained the situation to her, "You fainted in front of the teacher's room, so the teacher brings you here. There was nothing serious about your health, maybe you were just too nervous"
"Nervous?" Jane is puzzled.
"Well... aren't you a new student coming in today?" the doctor is unsure after seeing this new student's response.
"Ugh..." Jane rubbed her nose feeling embarrassed, "Doctor, what year is it now?
"Huh?... the year 2004, are you alright? Let me re-examine your head!"
"No no ... I'm fine doctor, just make sure something ahaha..." Jane laughed awkwardly as she got out of bed.
As she said that, another middle-aged man entered the room, Jane saw him and could guess that he was a teacher. Moreover, she seemed to vaguely remember who this teacher was.
"Oh, you wake up" he smiled, "If you're okay, you can go back to class to introduce yourself"
"Sorry for troubling you teacher, now I'm fine" Jane apologized.
"It's okay, it's only natural that you feel nervous, follow me!" The teacher didn't seem mind about it instead he comforted her.
After that, Jane followed the teacher out of the nurse room.
The classroom was not far from the nurse room, it took about three minutes to get to the front of the class.
Along the way, she was finally able to remember what moment she was at this time.
She was born in the Farhand City until she was 8 years old, because of her father's job being transferred to the Hazel City, she couldn't help but move along with her father to move to the Hazel City.
In her previous life, Jane's life was gray, very boring.
Until one day at the age of 28, Jane accidentally entered a place that had a strange carving on it.
When she stepped into the strange carvings, the floor suddenly glowed and what happened next was she woke up in a fantasy world.
From there, her life began to change into colorful. Even though she was a woman, she struggled to become the strongest wizard, strong enough to create freedom for herself and create various prohibited magic in the world.
One day, she tried experimenting with her new forbidden magic.
That magic is Time Manipulation Magic.
Although Time Magic is very rare, it isn't to the point labeled as Forbidden Magic.
However, what she wants to manipulate is not her time alone, but the time of the entire lives and events in the world.
Her friend forbade her to experiment with that kind of magic because it was already included in the supreme level of Forbidden Magic category.
But Jane didn't care about the ban and still insisted on experimenting with the discovery of her new magic.
Unfortunately, there was an error while experimenting... but she never thought that the failure resulted in her returning to her time when she was still on earth.
After she entered the class, all eyes were fixed on her.
Jane stood in front of the class and next to the teacher. She scanned the whole class and saw about 40 students whose faces were still childish, "Wow, I can't even remember their names anymore"
"Students, today we have a new student who will study in this class for the next four years" the teacher turned to Jane, "You may introduce yourself"
Jane nodded, "Hello, my name is Jane Merrill, you can call me Jane. I'm moving from Farhand City... please take care of me from now on!"
It felt strange, a great wizard like her introduced herself in front of the children. Anyway, she hasn't even confirmed that she is still a wizard or not.
For now, she can only go with the flow.
"Let see... You can choose empty seats for you"
"Teacher, I want to sit there!" Jane pointed to the seat in the last row near the window.
"Alright, you may sit with Arka. By the way, I'm your homeroom teacher, my name is Paul, you can call me Teacher Paul "Teacher Paul smiled as he let her sit down.
"Thank you teacher Paul"
Jane walked to her seat.
Each bench consists of two people, although she already forgot most of her classmates, there are some that she still remembers.
One of them is this boy, his name is Arka. After all, he was her first seatmate in her previous life.
"Hello," Jane greeted him.
Arka looks excited to get a seatmate, what more it's a girl "Hello Jane, my name Arka Brahmand"
"Jane Merrill" she smiled.
"Where are you come from?"
"Farhand..." Didn't you listen to my introduction?
"Oh, you can depend on me in future"
"... Thank you"
"No problem, no problem" he generously waved his hand.
"..."
Soon the class starts.
Teacher Paul: "Open the math book on page 20, Arka you can share with Jane first"
"Yes, teacher!"
As time passed, the bell rang and lunch break arrived.
Children are always curious about new things, as well as students in the class who are curious about new students, Jane.
Shortly after the break rang, Jane was surrounded by other students.
This is annoying but she must be patient because first impressions are very important when entering a new environment, even only in elementary school.
"Jane, where do you live now?"
"Jane, I heard that Farhand City is very cold."
"Jane, since when did you move here?"
"Jane, are you single?"
Hey brats! what do you mean single?! I'm just an elementary school girl!
"You guys, disperse! I have to take Jane to look around the school building" the chubby girl came toward Jane.
Soon, the crowd began to disperse, leaving Jane alone already overwhelmed by the children.
"Jane, My name Maggie, the class leader this class"
Jane began chatting briefly with the class leader, from the bench she saw three rows in front of her right there was a boy talking to girls and boys.
He looks very popular compared to other children, even the transfer students did not diminish his popularity.
Jane was very clear about who he was even though a thousand years had passed.
Because the boy is her first love during middle school in her previous life.
He was very popular both now and in the future, even Jane could only admire him secretly.
His name is still engraved clearly in her heart. She could never forget his face even after meeting countless of handsome men in the magic world.
Jane muttered, "Lucas Owens"
Right now, she wished this wasn't Illusory Magic.
In her previous life, when Jane first saw Lucas, as a girl in general, she felt like admiring him.
Basically, all girls love beauty, of course, handsome men can also be classified in the word 'beauty'.
Moreover, Lucas was born to a wealthy family.
It is like a package; good looks, wealth, and popularity are in Lucas.
In summarize, he is the idol of girls.
It's just that, Jane is only limited to admire him not to the point of being a love-struck girl like other girls.
Until one day when Jane entered high school, a move from Lucas could make Jane fall in love with him at first sight.
Since then, Jane became Lucas's secret admirer, because she didn't have the courage to express her love for him.
"Lucas?" even though Jane's voice was low but Maggie could still hear what she murmured.
"Eh ..." Jane didn't expect Maggie to hear it, to think she reflexively mentioned Lucas's name.
"As expected from Lucas, his charm is incredible even the transfer student just fell in love after seeing him for the first time." Maggie nodded her chin proudly as if Lucas was her class treasurer.
Jane acted embarrassed as if she'd just been caught, "Yeah, he's very handsome... no wonder he looks so popular"
"But, of course!" Maggie said proudly.
"... You look very proud of him, do you like him too?" Even though Jane already knew that Maggie had a motherly symptom, but she couldn't help feeling amused about it.
"Of course I like him. I mean, as a mother, who doesn't like her child? Watching my son grow from small to adult surrounded by many girls..." Maggie explained melancholy while rubbing her tears using her handkerchief as she looked at Lucas who she considered being her own son.
'Here it comes' the corner lips of Jane twitched slightly.
'Girl, be aware of your age!"
Jane remembered that in the future Maggie would become a kindergarten teacher. She is very fond of children and very dedicated to her job.
"Maggie, can you take me to the canteen? I'm hungry" Jane already felt enough to hear her motherly symptom.
"Oh right, how come I almost forgot, come on!" Maggie grabbed Jane's hand and led her outside the classroom.
Along the way before reaching the canteen, the two of them passed several buildings and Maggie explained the name and function of the building one by one.
Although Maggie is still a girl, the way she explains is not much different from a middle school student.
After all, Maggie is the smartest student in the school after Lucas. She is also the most exemplary student in school.
A few minutes later they finally arrived at the canteen.
Although Maggie wanted to introduce other buildings, Jane refused it.
Joke! she was hungry after fainting in the morning, she was afraid that she would run out of lunch break.
After buying food, Jane sat side by side with Maggie.
The canteen atmosphere was quite crowded, some students also preferred to buy food outside near the school.
After watching this scene, Jane secretly felt nostalgic.
In a previous life, Jane also likes to go out near school to buy food because the food in the canteen is too expensive.
Even though she was still afforded to buy it, she always felt like saving her pocket money.
Really, one will always feel a longing for the childhood even though a thousand years have passed.
Thirty minutes later, the bell rang.
Jane and the other students rushed to enter the class again.
In the classroom, Jane never paid attention to the lesson but her eyes kept facing forward.
It's just that, secretly, she's actually trying to feel mana inside her body.
She tried to find out whether she could still use magic or not.
After several attempts, she finally felt joy in her heart, 'Nice! I can still feel the mana source in my body'.
'But, wait! I feel like my source mana is a bit weird'
Nevermind, she will examine it back after returning home.
At 3:00 AM, the school bell finally rang again indicating that the school had finished.
At the door of Jane's class, a girl called her name.
Jane remembered that the girl named Ellie, the girl who was in charge of helping her take her home because at that time Jane could not remember the direction of her own home.
Ellie is also her own neighbor who happens to be in the same school and same grade but they're in a different class.
"Wait for me, Ellie!"
Jane put her book in her bag and rushed toward the door and greeted Ellie.
Jane, "Let's go home together!"
"Right, Uncle Lee said that you are had no sense of direction."
Jane's face twitched, 'Do you have to say that bluntly?'
Suddenly she heard Arka's voice from behind, "Jane, you forgot your pencil!"
"Ah? Where..." Just when she wanted to turn her body, accidentally her nose was in pain after hitting someone's chest.
"Arg ..."
Jane rubbed her reddish nose, then she looked up, "I'm sor..." before she finished apologizing, she suddenly froze after seeing the familiar handsome face.
'It's Lucas'
Whereas Lucas did not respond to her and only acted indifferently, instead the girl next to him responded, "Don't you have eyes? Look carefully if you walk!"
Jane frowned, 'A girl so fierce' she just accidentally bumped into him, what if she kissed him?
Ah! Jane remembered this girl, her name was Luna. In the future, she became a well-known model but she was still desperately chasing Lucas.
'This girl is not so beautiful, she has a pug nose, her eyes are too narrow, her skin is rather dark and wide forehead. Just how in the world she becomes so beautiful model in the future? plastic surgery?'
Jane ignored her ridicule and immediately apologized to Lucas briefly.
"Humph," Luna snorted after being ignored.
Jane passed them and took a pencil that was left behind, "Thank you Arka"
"Ok!" Arka gave an okay gesture, and he whispered lowly, "Don't get close to Luna, she's a mean girl!"
Jane only gives a smile, she really knows well Luna, the woman who is willing to do anything in order to pursue Lucas. She is a terrible woman.
But Jane doesn't care about it, just who is she? a Great Wizard who creates various Forbidden Magic.
As long as someone doesn't bother her, she will never bother about it.
She returned to Ellie's side, "Let's go home"
...
Jane's and Ellie's house are quite far from the school, about 1.0 km away.
Luckily Ellie rode a bicycle to go to school.
Anyway, most students in this school ride bicycles. It's just that, this is the first time Jane has gone to school, moreover, her father hasn't prepared a bicycle for her.
So for now, Jane could only bum Ellie's bicycle to go to school and go home.
However, the way Ellie riding a bicycle is very slow.
"Ellie, do you think I'm heavy?"
"Yeah"
Hey girl! so honest
Jane chuckled, she secretly transferred mana through Ellie's shoulder.
She did not know that peoples in this world had a mana source, but at least she was sure that mana did not harm the human body.
As for Ellie, she felt warm and comfortable inside her body all of sudden, but she didn't realize that Jane helped her replace the energy used, with this Ellie would not feel tired.
She felt that Jane had become lighter.
"Jane, you better hold on tight haha" Ellie laughed and immediately speeded.
...
Jane stood in front of the house.
Her eyes are a little red, maybe because she feels how many years she hasn't stepped into this house.
Well, in fact, she had indeed not returned home for a thousand years.
Jane lives in this house with her father and her younger brother.
This house is a legacy of his deceased grandfather and has not been occupied for years.
By coincidence, the job of her father was moved to this city, then he decided to occupy this house rather than buy new.
Besides this house is not too old, instead, it still looks like a new house because every year her father always asks someone to clean this house.
Meanwhile, Jane stayed at home until the age of 22, then moved out of town and rented an apartment because it was close to her workplace.
Ever since Jane didn't live at home anymore, she only came home a few times in a year for a reunion with her little brother and father.
The last time she set foot on this house was during the celebration of her younger brother who got a new job.
Jane never thought that her return was her last return to home.
When she was about to go back to the apartment, she accidentally transmigrated to another world.
Saying that she's not nervous at all, that's a lie!
In fact, she was really nervous right now.
After all, this time she was finally able to meet again with her family.
At this hour, usually her father is still working but at least there is still her little brother.
When Jane was about to knock on the door, she halted... she remembered that she had never knocked on the door.
She just opened the door, "Keith, I'm home"
The sound of footsteps was heard from the hallway of the door, then showed a figure of a 5-year-old little boy, "Jean"
Jane squats and hugged her little brother as her eyes turned red. Maybe because she really really missed him, she tightened her arms.
How many times had she warned him about her correct name but even until he grew older Keith still insisted on calling her Jean,
"It's Jane not Jean!" she wiped her tears secretly and let go of her arms.
"How is your new school?" Jane asked Keith.
"I get new friends" Keith clapped his hands.
"As expected of my little brother, the first time he moved to new school already got a new friend" Jane praised her little bother by rubbing his head.
"I gave them sweets, then they were willing to be my friends" Keith giggled.
'So, you mean you pay them to be your friend?' the tip of Jane's mouth twitched.
"Jean, Aunt Dora gives us food, I keep it in the kitchen. I'm waiting for you to eat together, but you take too long so I eat first" Keith being honest as his face like he was wronged.
Jane laughed after hearing it, she lift up her little brother and carried him to the kitchen.
"Oh, there's a lot of food, don't you forget to thank Aunt Dora?"
"I've thanked her"
"Good boy" Jane rubbed little brother's head and kiss his cheek as she put him down, "You play there first!" Keith immediately ran to the playroom.
After Jane finished eating, she immediately returned to her room to change clothes.
She stood in front of the mirror, then smiled: "This is me!"
She admitted that she looked cute when she was a girl with her short hair, but when she grew up she looked dull and unkempt.
Maybe because she never had a boyfriend, so she didn't have the enthusiasm to take care of herself.
"Boyfriend?" Jane smirked.
She just fell in love once and the man she loved was impossible to be dated.
Even in the Magic World, no man can enter her eyes.
After changing clothes, she sat on her bed and sat cross-legged.
She closed her eyes.
In her experiments at school, she could still feel the mana source in her body. She breathes deeply and felt the mana around her.
"I can feel the mana, but it's very thin"
Jane examined her strange mana source, it was spacious but was tied by a golden chain and golden padlocks.
"This ... a seal?" Jane's happy expression became gloomy instantly.
"How can this be ..."
Jane tried to open the golden padlock but in vain. Every time she wants to touch the seal like there is a rejection from it.
She frowned deeply, "What kind of seal is this?"
Jane tried it many times but it was still useless.
She was angry but sighed... maybe this was a punishment for trying to experiment with that Forbidden Magic.
Never mind, at least she can still use magic.
Even though she didn't familiar with that kind of seal, but maybe someday she could gradually open the seal.
Jane opened her eyes and sighed again like a grandma...
"With my strength now, I'm only on the level of Apprentice Magician "
Jane left the room and went to the playroom to accompany her little brother.
"What are you doing, Keith?" Jane squatted in front of him.
"I'm drawing, look Jean! Is that good?" Keith cheerfully shows the results of his drawing.
For a moment Jane saw the picture, her face cracked, she held back the urge to laugh.
'Well, well, he's still a kid anyway'
"What is this?" Jane pointed to the pointed triangle image.
"That mountain"
"What is this?" Jane pointed to a half-round image between two mountains
"Sun"
"Why is the sun behind the mountain?"
"... It's hiding"
Feeling amuse Jane continued asking: "Hide from who?"
"Err..." Keith felt troubled because he didn't know what to answer, "From Aunt Zena?"
Jane lit an eye as if curious, "Why is Aunt Zena?"
"Daddy is the strongest, but every time daddy sees Aunt Zena he is always hiding"
Jane immediately burst out laughing. Indeed, her father always trying to hide every time Aunt Zena visited.
Speaking about Aunt Zena, she is the biological sister of Jane's and Keith's mother. She is very gentle toward Jane and Keith but is always strict to their father.
When they were still in Hazel City, Aunt Zena often visited their homes. Unfortunately, now it is difficult for her to visit again after Jane's Family transfer to Farhand because the distance is too far.
Tok Tok
While the brother and sister were playing, a knock on the door was heard from the door of their house.
Jane turned towards the door, tilting her head slightly.
She stood up and walked toward the door, "Yea ..." as she opened the door, she halts in astonished.
"Who?"
A man dressed in a delivery uniform, wearing a hat while his hand holding a crackle bag, he smiled: "Pizza Delivery"
"Pizza?" wondering who will order Pizza in this hour?
Jane, "Excuse me, maybe you got a wrong customer"
"Eh? but the address is here" The delivery man is even more confusing than the customer.
"But nobody ordered Pizza here"
"Eh?" The delivery man felt both troubled and guilty, "I'm sorry for interrupting your time, maybe this is a prank from someone. It's happened often"
Jane smile slightly, "It's fine"
"Then ..." he excused himself and left, while Jane closed the door and returned to accompany her little brother.
Shortly thereafter, another guest knocked on the door.
This time it was Ellie, she was the next door neighbor and her mother was Aunt Dora who provided a lot of food during the day.
"Jane, I came to visit you" Ellie impolitely entered Jane's house.
Jane yelled, "I'm here Ellie"
Ellie approached and sat next to them, "This is your little brother? so cute" she pinched Keith's cheek.
Jane smiled, "His name is Keith"
Ellie asked: "Keith, how old are you?"
"Five"
"He goes to school?" Ellie looked at Jane.
"Yeah, Sierra Kindergarten"
"That's my kindergarten, Keith I'm your alumni, hurry call me senior!" She tried to talk to Keith, but he ignored her, instead he is into his toy.
"..."
Jane chuckled seeing this, "Oh right, Ellie did your family order a pizza?"
"Hm? No, why?" Ellie puzzled.
Jane silent for a second, and then, "Oh... nothing!"
