“And?”

‘And that’s why I can’t guarantee you will be able to learn our Oh clan’s martial arts.’

“I suppose that makes sense. Is stretching or doing yoga not enough?”

‘Yoga?’

“Ye it’s this Indian thing, where you stretch your body in different ways, I think.”

‘I have never heard of it, nor Indians.’

“What? Never heard of Indians? What about the Chinese? Europeans?”

‘No, never heard of any of them.’

“When the world changed, not only did the landscape of earth shatter, the latter generations couldn’t retain all of their knowledge of the world.

Even the earth grew to many times its original size, and that was it being lucky not to explode due to the excessive mana.”

“Huh. That’s hard to wrap your head around. How did anyone even survive that?”

“Of course, no amount of technology could stand against the massive influx of mana.

It was the generation of what was called super humans, humans with extraordinary powers that banded together to save what was left of the human race.

Even today, many of them are still alive, somewhere.”

“Super humans?”

‘Super humans I have heard of. The human’s strongest bloodlines. They called themselves super humans.

In fact, your Aleksy family should have one.’

“Hohhhh?”

“What most human ancestors have in common, is that they born in the time when mana ran rampant throughout the Milky Way galaxy.

And the highest concentration of mana was in the most habitable place, Earth

Even though the star system has changed dramatically, only five have sentient beings inhabiting it.

While three planets have primitive beings living in extremely violent environment.”

“That explains all the absurd plant life I’ve seen, I’ve been questioning whether or not I was still on earth.”

‘It is quite the experience being around you, Ji.’

“What? What do you mean?”

‘One minute you are talking to me and responding, the other you are talking to your hand while casting some arbitrary magic.’

“Ah. Sorry, the Narrator is really worth talking to, he has insight into things that seem so very foreign to me.”

‘Rest assured, Ji. I am very happy to escort you.’

“The Fluo lightly touches our hero’s arm whilst smiling, she gives of a sense of purity.”

“Alright Tio.

How far until we reach your clan?”

‘We will soon enter the city.

After that, it will be about thirty minutes, ten if we find someone to transport us.’

“Oh. Okay.”

“After walking through yet another corridor, a disguised teleportation formation. The two reach an entrance.”

‘Ji.’

“Hm?”

“With an absent minded look, our hero looks up from his constant manipulation of the elemental laws.

A pity he hasn’t fully discovered the underlying vibration that connect the cold and hot.”

“Ah! Of course! It’s so simple!”

“Suddenly the heat explodes dramatically, Tio-oh of the Oh clan leaps a few meters back, a wary look in here eye and a concentration of mana in her hand in the form of a transcendent water globe.”

“Hahaha! Of course!”

“A sphere of water suddenly takes form around our hero, a second later it freezes over before melting and evaporating.”

“I can’t believe I didn't realize this sooner! Faster, means hotter. Slower means colder.”

‘How extraordinary.’

‘Uncle! Why are you here?’

‘What? I can’t visit my niece?’

“Whilst our hero maniacally laughs, an old man has magically appeared inside the exit’s corridor.

His belly plump, yet his arms thick and clearly muscular.

His legs, thick as tree stumps.”

“Hohhh! Look, Tio! Look!”

‘Yes, amazing Ji. You are very talented.

Uncle, this here is Ji. I have been assisting him.’

‘Oh? Who is so important that it required your assistance?

Ah, of course you can’t tell me, this old man easily forgets his place.’

‘Hehe don’t worry, I was actually going see elder Ki.’

‘Oh? You mean to introduce him to our clan’s instructor?’

“Uhm. Hello?

Who’s the beer belly?”

‘Hmph!? Beer belly?’

‘Calm down uncle, Ji here is a bit strange.’

‘Anything for my darling niece.’

“Eh? What is happening right now?”

‘Ji, this my mother’s brother, Ohoh.’

“Haha, so you are Ohoh-oh?”

‘Why are you snickering? Ohoh is my grandfather’s name, very respectable.’

“Ah, of course, I didn’t meant to insult you.”

‘Please ignore my uncle, he is very sensitive when it comes to his name.’

“No need to say more, I can sympathize with him, the poor thing.”

‘Poor thing your sister! What is wrong with my name!?’

“Nothing sir! Ohoh-oh, is a very normal name.

In fact, I am jealous of such an impactful name!

This one was hastily named Ji, truly I fall short of your domineering name!”

‘Oh? You aren’t bad at all! Not bad at all!’

“Despite our hero’s lacking, his way with words can cause one to be baffled.

A not so rare meeting of idiots.”

‘Ji, do you mind if my uncle accompanies us?’

“Not at all”

‘Tell me Ji. Why is my nice so captivated with you?

She might not say out loud but her actions speak for themselves.’

“I’m afraid I can’t tell you, I´ve been warned repeatedly not to tell others of my circumstances.”

‘Hmm? You can trust me, it will go no further!’

‘Ji, don’t listen to uncle.’

‘What are you saying Tio! This uncle is one of impeccable reputation! If the world was ending I wouldn’t even squeeze out a simple peep!’

‘Uncle, really. You…’

‘What!? You don’t trust your dearest uncle!?’

“Oh see! Look.

I did it. The soil element has been really difficult but I finally managed to get to grow this big.”

“Ah. ”Finally” he says. As if an immense amount of effort was put into it.

Everything aside, one can’t help but to be in awe of our hero’s ability to connect with the elemental laws.”

‘That’s amazing Ji! You might even contend with the Searrtho clan’s juniors.’

“Hehe, you flatter me.

Who are the Searrtho again?”

‘Hmph. Those Searrtho bastards.’

‘Our uncle was rejected by their mistress.’

‘Me!? Rejected!? Nonsense! I was never interested in that wench!’

“I see. I see.”

‘See! Even a junior like Ji understands!’

‘We can’t stand here all day uncle, I´ve got to take Ji to see Uncle Ki-oh.’

‘Right, right.’

“After entering the city, our hero glances around unimpressed.

His expectations of a city is of course far more advanced.

Being used to cities filled with thousands of people cluttering the streets.”

Now that you said it, I can’t help but to feel this city lacks a certain something.

“There is an endless stream of people, but the building just aren’t that big. There are no cars around.

What happened to vehicles?”

‘Vehicles? Tio, has the young man lost his mind?’

‘No uncle. I can’t say but he’s not very well informed of modern society.’

‘I see. I see!

Have no worries, I’ll treat you two this time.’

“After waving his hands, a large amount of mana gathers and turns into a beam that shoots through the air.”

What was that?

‘A simple message spell. You don’t even know this?

Where on earth did you come from?’

“Originally? Or where did I wake up?

Keakelli Mountain or something like that.”

‘You’re of the Keakelli family?!’

“A grim look appeared on the middle aged man.”

‘Uncle. Don’t be like that, he is definitely not a Keakelli.’

‘Hmph! The only decent Keakelli I know of is old man Sympathy.’

“Are the Keakelli famous? They seemed a bit unhinged to me.”

‘The Keakelli. They are something like humans. They come from the old world. They aren’t worth our time.’

“If you say so Ohoh.

Which way to the Oh clan?”

‘Wait a minute, someone will arrive soon.’

“Whilst waiting, our hero continuously conjures magic, mainly relying on his insight into the elemental laws.

Currently a fist size ball of dirt is floating centimeters above his palms. A thick layer of frozen water is covering the outer layer.

A swirling wind occasionally blows through.”

“Check this out!”

“As our hero’s words leave him, he throws the ball in one fluid motion, the wind follows him the entire way through as the small boulder shoots into the sky.”

What would you like to name your new spell?

|Ji’s flying fist|

“A beginners spell focused on the soil elemental laws, supported by the freezing cold and wind.”

Mana cost is dependent on the size.

Damage is mediocre.

“Haha! I made another one! How is this so easy!?”

“Every spell is like a recipe, it requires specific ingredients, and a specific amount at that.

So almost every spell is unique even if it has hundreds similar variations.”

“Ah. Well. Still! It even said mediocre damage! Such much better.”

“After the celebration, a squad of armored men arrive before our trio.”

‘Stop!’

“Hm? Wow!”

‘Hmph, hmph. What do you lackeys want?’

“A look of hesitation can be seen in the squadron of ten.”

‘We are here to investigate a violation in the aggression laws, our sources indicate there was an attack on the city shields from here.’

‘Attack!? My little junior was just testing his abilities and you call it an attack? How laughable is our city guard?

Ridicules.’

‘Uncle. You can’t be so abrasive. Sirs, I am sorry to waste your time, but my young friend here Ji, was simply testing his new ability.

I assure you he meant no harm.’

‘Alright miss Tio-oh, mister Ohoh-oh.’

“Oh? They know who you are?”

‘Of course, my Oh clan is one of the ten strongest families in Traeo city! You haven't even told him this Tio-oh?’

‘I’ve been too busy trying to snare, I mean befriending Mr.Ji.’

‘Hahaha! What a good girl.’

“Why do I feel like I am in danger?”

‘Pay it no mind, pay it no mind! Come! It seems our transportation has arrived.

Tio-oh. Help the gentleman.’

“It would appear that the middle aged man has discovered that our hero is no commoner and in fact has tremendous background.

If the spontaneous use of three elemental laws didn’t awake his suspicions, the actions of his highly valued niece certainly should have.

Even mastering five more elements wouldn’t put him too high on his list. But his niece is someone to be trusted.”

“What is this?”

‘This is a mana infused pumpkin pickle. The Verto family mounts.’

“Mount? How is this overgrown vegetable a mount?

This doesn’t look safe at all.”

‘Young man I assure you, our Verto family’s transportations are extremely safe and comfortable.

Far superior to those scoundrels, Animaeo.’

“What?”

‘Stop being so hesitant, just get on, this Ohoh will let you see the city in its full glory.

And if you want, I can even give you a private tour later, if you know what I mean.’

“Oh? Oh!? Definitely uncle Ohoh!”

‘Uncle!’

‘I am merely entertaining our guest, Tio-oh. You would blame your favorite uncle for this?’

“The relentless banter continuous as we soar above the city.

Otero city main attraction would be its large amount of food, be it meat or vegetables.

Once you glide over the city you can see the many different farms, containing either animals or greenery.”

“I’ve got to admit, this looks great.”

‘Our city is the largest exporter of food, our Oh family takes care of over sixty percent of any perishables that get important.’

‘Uncle, please.’

‘What!? You should be proud of your clan’s abilities to retain food! What is the world without food!?’

“Ehm. Cool, I think?”

‘Very cool, all things get shipped across the portals in a very cool state. No amount of heat with affect it! Hmph, hmph.’

“I see. Amazing, uncle Ohoh-oh.”

‘I’m glad you understand.’

“As we soar above the city we can see an enormous lake with three different rivers converging into it.

A large number of Fluo can be seen traveling around the large area.”

“Wooah! This place looks amazing.”

‘Welcome to my family estate, Ji. Uncle. Please lead us to uncle Ki.’

‘Of course, of course.’

“The gorgeous area, decorated heavily, the shining blue color indicating the Oh families dedication to the water elemental laws.”
