The Seven Founding Fathers Revitalize the Kingdom

The Founding Fathers Magic

In the backyard of the Royal Palace. The seven founding fathers are stretching their hands warming-up and pondering on how they are going to cast their magic. Will be intuition? Imagination? To test their hypothesis, George Ametus stepped up and began to take his stances. He can manipulate, shape, and conjure metals.

Speaking of metal can I conjure metals like titanium? Aluminum? As an engineer and an avid scientist. I know all their composition, density, number of electrons. Okay, let us try. I should try titanium first.

A moment passed, George closed his eyes and imagined and applied all his information to create the metal. He imagined the composition of titanium. It has a characteristic of silver-grey, its light, and has 22 electrons. Finishing that a dazzling beam of light suddenly illuminates in his hands. Unknown particles began to coagulate as it was forming an object. Behind him are his co-founders and Lumi who are dumbfounded at the intense light. They have never seen anything like this.

After ten seconds. George looked to his hands he can feel the weight bringing down on his hands. After looking at his hands, his eyes started to widen and glistened.

“A titanium ingots!” He called out his pals behind him and showed the pure titanium ingot.

“What the f**k?! How did you do that?” Jay said, he was clearly surprised and immediately grab the ingot in George’s hands.

“Uhm, I just imagined the characteristics that made the titanium, and, in an instant, it gives off a blinding light.”

“Hmm, I understand. Then as long as you know their composition, you can summon everything right?” Jay inquired.

“I don’t know, I will try to work on that hypothesis. I will try to create aluminum this time.”

Then, George began imagining the composition of aluminum. It has 13 electrons, silver-white metallic, resistant to oxidation. Then the process began to start again. In his hands is aluminum ingot. It confirmed his hypothesis. As long as he knows the composition of the metals. He can literally summon anything, but how many can he procure? A kilogram? A ton? He gave the aluminum ingot to Jay who has a goofy grin on his face. 

“George, your ability is a cheat as you said. If we use your abilities on our projects, it will save us a lot of time.”

“But how many metals ingot I can summon? In the future, we will need a lot of metals. A ton of it.”

When George said that, Jay who has a goofy face began to slouch his shoulders.

“Let me try on how much I can procure.”

George said with a grit determination on his face. But how can he know the limit of his powers? In an engine, you will know its limit when it began to overheat. If you continue breaking the limit, the engine will explode. If that is the case George began to take his stance and outstretched his hands. He will give his all on this experiment.

“Arrrrrrrrrrgh!”

A big magic circle on the ground that emanates orange lights from within. The dazzling orange light filled the backyard as his co-founders and Lumi can’t keep up with the intense lumens is the light creating. The ray of light stood tall as it can be seen from all over the kingdom. The populace is dumbfounded as they glance at the strong orange light emitting from the palace. This made them worry as they thought that this is another attack. After a moment that almost looks forever the orange light receded.

*Thud.

George falls to the ground, he lifted his head with all of his power and looked before him. His eyes widened and let out a gasp of admiration. He tried to procure aluminum as much as possible. In front of him is a large amount of aluminum that there is no way for them to determine the weight of it. George tried to roughly calculate all the metals in front of him and concluded that the metals that he procured are less than 50 tons. Since the backyard is big it accommodates a large number of metals. Lumi who was shocked at George who suddenly collapsed rushed towards him. She lifted his head carefully and gently and rested it on her lap. George can feel the soft thigh on the back of his head.

“Your Majesty! Are you okay?” She asked and gives him a worried looked, she is clearly concerned.

“Don’t worry, Lumi” The man from the back said. It was John the minister of Health. “So, this is the drawback of using the power to its limit huh? George used all of his power to procure a lot of metals that resulted in extreme fatigue. He will be okay as long as he rests. But he might not be able to do his administrative work for the meantime.”

With the word of John who explained George’s condition, she turned her head to George who cannot move an inch.

“My king, you are stupid. Do not do something that will harm you like this and besides, why are you getting excited from just a piece of metal?”

Seeing her concerned look on her face, he tried to assure her with his words, but it was no use. He cannot even move his mouth. All his muscles stiffened, rendering him immobile. It's like you are experiencing sleep paralysis. He can still see all of his friends who are awed by the metal he procured. They seemed to be caring about his abilities, not him.

They lifted George to the seat from the side so he can watch his friends perform and test their abilities.

“Watch me, George! According to the stone slate, I can manipulate and conjure earth and plants! You know what that means do you?” Adams boasted.

George used all of his energy to lift his right hand and performed the ‘ok’ gesture. Now on his mind, how long will he stay like this? A day? Hours? This will determine how he’ll manage his abilities.

Adams's power is to conjure and manipulates plants and earth. Plants are broad to him. The most important question to his mind is in what way will the plants be manipulated? Conjured? Shaped? He was given a rough idea of how to manipulate his power by watching George.

“Okay, here I go” He touched the grassy soil of the ground and a magic circle began to appear from within. And all of the sudden the grass which are in the area of the magic circle began to grow spontaneously as if their growth moves in fast forward motion.

Everyone gasped within the backyard. The grass that stood 13 centimeters tall is now 30 centimeters tall. This gave Adams a fragmented idea about his abilities. He thought of something that will manipulate the ground but unbeknownst to him, deep within his consciousness, he was thinking about how to solve the food crisis that they were facing. Ever since the stone slate told him that his abilities can manipulate grass, he suddenly hypothesizes that if he can make the growth of the crops, then the food crisis will be solved immediately. But such an idea cannot be classified as theoretical since what he was thinking is unscientific, illogical, and impossible to begin with.

However, although he inadvertently makes the grass within the range of the magic circle grows at an unprecedented rate. It is still illogical, unscientific, and impossible. Asking himself how did the grass grow? Did the cell division rate increase? If that is the case, then the grass would be set ablaze due to friction. Pondering on what might the reason beyond it, he remembered that he was reincarnated to the world of magic, so he considered it for now. To Adams who was a scientist he wants to know the law of magic, is there a universal rule of magic? Well, that is for another story.

He tried now manipulating the ground or he refers to as earth magic. Setting the idea of making the crops grow fast aside, he focused his mind on manipulating the earth. A magic circle appeared before him and the grounds began to tremble as it was erupting something. In front of him stood a three meters earth wall. Everyone in the backyard clasped their hands.

“So, that is your magic huh? With that magic we would be able to create a foundation on every infrastructure that we will be built in the future, those include railways, bridges, roads, tunnels et cetera.” The man spoke behind him, it was the minister of housing and urban development Benjamin.

“If it's for the sake of improving the welfare of the people then count me in. But I would focus solely on my department first. If you want my help in construction. Then you know where to find me.” Adams said.

“Expect me to disturb your work in the future,” Benjamin said.

After Adams's demonstration of his magic abilities. John Hughe took the stage. His abilities can procure liquids. But is it limited to liquids? From what he has observed from the two, they applied their scientific knowledge into their magic, so if he wants to procure water, then he needs to think about the molecular structure of water so, without further ado, he immediately started. He outstretched his arms and opened his hands wide, making a stop figure. He focused his mind on the molecular structure of water gushing from his arms. A moment passed a bright blue light appeared within his hands and water comes gushing out like a waterfall.

“What the f**k? How do I make this stop?” John who has a troubled looked on his face said as liters of water comes gushing out on his hands. It made the audience concerned as they don’t know what to do in his case. Since they have individual magic abilities, they don’t know what kind of instruction or advice to them.

John focused his thoughts again on stopping the water as it flooded the backyard. He thinks of him turning off the faucet and suddenly the water stopped coming from his hands.

“What the hell was that?” James shouted. His boots are drenched in the water giving him an uncomfortable feeling on his feet.

“I don’t know when I started thinking about the molecular structure of water. It suddenly gushes out on my hands like a faucet. So, I imagined myself closing it.” John said.

Is it limited to water? Those are the questions the linger on his mind. With that in mind, he tried picturing the molecular structure of the ethyl alcohol, and boom, the ethyl alcohol gushes in his hands again. Confirming that is not limited to liquids made his heart at ease since if he can only use water then he might find himself useless in the future. As long as he knows the molecular structure of the liquids that he wants to procure, he can make it. But is it limited to liquids? He thought to himself as he was explaining the rules of his magic. He confirmed that as long as he knows the molecular structure of the compounds then he can make it. Is it applicable for powder? Like salt, sugar, sodium bicarbonate, oxides? To try it out, he first pictured the molecular of the salt. Sodium Chloride with one element of sodium and one element of chlorine and boom. He procured a salt. That made the founding fathers behind him in a state of bewilderment.

“What the?! I thought you can only summon liquids. How the heck did you manage to procure a solid powder?” Alexander shouted.

“I don’t know. There are so many loopholes in our magic abilities and I am just exploiting it. My magic is not about procuring liquids, it’s about procuring chemical compounds”

“Impressive” Jay said “you can help me produce gunpowder then? As a military technology enthusiast, I studied all the chemical compounds found on every warhead and every weapon.”

“Just give me the molecular structure or the formula. I think I can manage.”

“We will have a great partnership in the future, John.”

…

The fourth one to demonstrate is James Pierce, among the founding fathers, he received the lamest abilities that he could ever wish for. His abilities are he can transfer his consciousness to an object. He picked his pen and parchment on his pouch and began. The pen began to move by itself and independently write something on the parchment. It was ‘George is a b***h’ written on the piece of parchment. It acts like himself and has the knowledge of himself. All he can think of that uses his abilities is just administrative work. The magic abilities that they have received on the stone slate were either in a phrase or in a sentence. It was not expounded so their magic is broad.

James slumped his shoulders as he walks out on the stage, he is clearly disappointed in his abilities.

Three people to go and Alexander move to the demonstration stage. Base on his abilities, he can appraisal and clairvoyance. He began by thinking of oil deposits on the kingdom first. He doesn’t know what the range limit of his abilities, so he started groaning by expanding his search. In his mind were a circle and a minute after. He found some oil deposits that marked white on his mind. If he were to compare it to something, then that would be radar.

“Hey, I found some oil deposits nearby!”

Everyone except Lumi gasped.

Lumi does not know what they are talking about since Adams took a stage. She was punched left and right with words she is not familiar with. To her she looked at them like crazy, why are they getting excited about the metals, plant growth, rocks, and oil? By just pondering on it made her dumbfounded.

There are two people left to demonstrate their abilities. Jay took the stage and started generating electricity on his hands. He imagined how electricity works, if he wants to apply more voltage, he can just do so by imagining himself turning a knob. As the powers increase the lightning began to grow intensely. It was so powerful that it made an arcing phenomenon. It happens when high voltage electricity has nowhere to go.

He ended his performance by turning it off. Last but not least is Benjamin. According to the slate, he has an ability called ‘Creation. Since he was last on the line, he took that time to think of what he should create in thin air. There is just one thing that comes to his mind and he missed it since the time they got reincarnated. He took the stage and outstretched his arms and opened his hands. A magic circle appeared on him and suddenly it appears to be a black slab on his hands. When his pals are watching him, they immediately grew in shock. Their eyes widened when they saw Benjamin’s hands.

“A phone?” A man that can’t keep his excitement blurted.

 “Yes, it appears to be that I can summon technology here as well. As long as I know the foundation, designs, and blueprints, I can summon it.”

“Wa-wait, then what was George’s abilities? You two have the same process but it looks like you are a jack-of-all-trades” Jay said, he was surprised.

The demonstration almost took three hours to complete. George is seemed to be regaining his strength but not completely he is still carried by Lumi that offered him a shoulder. George’s wanted to decline the offer but her fearful tone sends George a chill on his spine. She helped George until they reach his office. Reaching the door of his office George began to speak.

“Thank you Lumi for helping me,” he said, “I’ll take it from here now.”

“Okay, your Majesty. Is there anything that I can help you with?”

“Yes, tell all the ministers that they need to be here in 30 minutes. We will have an emergency meeting”

“Huh? Emergency?” Lumi blurted “Why is there something bad is going to happen?”

George noticed her concerned looked and assured her.

“No, we just need something to discuss with, it's not a matter of national security. Just do it for me please” 

When she heard his king's assurance, she bowed deeply and carried out her orders.

…

Thirty minutes later his ministers are gathered in George’s governmental office with a goofy look on their faces, George began to speak.

“Now, let the revitalization begin!”
