The tiny, translucent blue slime jiggled innocently, its two large eyes blinking slowly, almost as if in wonder. Eryndor stared at it, utterly transfixed. He had summoned something. A creature of pure magic, a tangible manifestation of a spell he'd just read. Amazement filled his eyes.
Just as he reached out a tentative finger towards the slime another shimmering screen materialized in the air, it was next to his and he pulled back to see the other screen clearly reading it's content.

He then saw a long unfilled space with a line dimming on it identifying where the letter would start from and below was a keyboard to input the name, "what name would I give it, I'm clueless about a name to give it," his eyes then drifted to the blue slime with eyes staring at him innocently blinking slowly, and it bounced to his lap making a sort of glooping sound, "hmmm, I'll give it gloop." He then typed gloop on the screen with right hand index finger.

"20 hours that is a lot of time,* he complained.
The voice in his head started speaking with the content of what it was saying showing on the slime screen [Abilities are commanded by the summoner, each level the slime gets to its body forms changes and when the summoner dies the slime dies too, what the slime sees you are able to see it too but that can only happen when your skill is unlocked]
Eryndor's jaw clenched when he saw that he has not unlocked his skill yet but the slime powers released his jaw , "the slime is powerful, I didn't expect a slime to have so much powers," He reread the details, his eyes widening with each line. "how could a slime be so capable?"
"Fascinating, isn't it, Master?"
He then looked at his lap to see the slime bright white eyes staring at him. The slime had jiggled slightly, and its eyes seemed to focus intently on him.
"You... you can talk?" Eryndor whispered, utterly dumbfounded. He'd read about talking beasts in ancient tales, but never a slime! "Of course he can talk a little slime to have a lot powers like that should be able to talk."
"Indeed, Master. since I am now summoned into this world and by you I will be serving you for now, I am hungry is there something for me to eat?" Gloop said jumping of his lap to his shoulder.
Eryndor blinked, then shook his head, trying to clear the fog of astonishment. A talking, acid-spitting, mana-sensitive slime. His arcane engine system was turning out to be far more extraordinary than he'd ever imagined. "oh you are hungry? Ummm, he then brought out a pack of chips from his jacket and fed it to him.
"First food in this world really taste good, hmmm," Gloop commented as he ate the chips that was given to him.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, Eryndor turned his attention back to the spellbook. His earlier shock had given way to a burning curiosity, a hunger for more knowledge, more power. He flipped through several pages, his gaze skimming over intricate diagrams and elegant script, until a particular spell caught his eye: the Arcane Orb. This seemed like a natural progression from the orb that was tested on them in the exams.
He began to read the the content about how to focus his energy and create an orb. This time, he focused, opening his palm as a dull dimming glow of light emitted from his palm,
"A spell only on focus to create something," As the final word left his lips, his hands, outstretched before him, began to glow with a soft, ethereal blue light. The light intensified, swirling and condensing between his palms, rapidly forming a softball-sized orb of pure, crackling arcane energy. It shimmered spreading it's light even in his eyes.
"Man that thing is bright, are you planning on blinding me," Gloop complained.
"it's brighter than the light that came out from the orb in my exam when I did it without magic, I should try to do more than this," he said, he channeled his focus on the orb and the orb pulsed with an intense, blinding light, its surface crackling with energy. As it grew larger, the cracks deepened, and the air around was intense and brutal blowing the grasses with intense wind, he got shocked and stood up with the orb getting bigger and cracking and moving above the inches it was spaced with his palm before.
Suddenly, the system alerted: [Critical instability detected. It's turning into the orb of destruction, You didn't request for the subdue of your magic, the only solution you have now is to eject orb to a portal NOW]
"Can I create a portal since when?" He asked himself in wonder. The orb's glow became almost unbearable, urging swift action the grasses even if meters away from the orb was swaying violently backwards with the fierce gust of wind coming from the orb, the wind howled and Eryndor who was doing this was feeling uncomfortable in his eyes because of the light and wind.
"I have to get this out of here quickly, I gave it to much power which I was unaware I have, how can I even create a portal, I should get rid of this before anyone notice this, are orbs that strong that my system gave me an alert?" He then used his other hand to create a portal above it which actually worked and he pushed the orb in when the portal closed he sighed and heard a indistinct bomb in the sky far away, but it wasn't noticed by others because it was not the academy side, only noticed by him and his slime, he stared at the red and black cloud that the orb created over there and he realized the orb was actually very strong.
His mouth was open his eyes widened fascinated that he has such powers, he stared at his palm and said, "I am getting stronger every passing seconds, in no time I will be an archmage.
