“WHAT!?!” (Val)

(Eh!?!)

“C-calm down dad!! Your face is way too close!”(Kai)

…..

“Ahemm… Right sorry Kai, But… For a half breed Lionel to use mid tier magic is unheard of…” (Val)

(Ehhhhhh???)

Uh……Now I understand why mom keep making that face when I ask her about magic… she didn’t want me to get hurt huh?…

“Kai...You must keep this as a secret… for now, I will speak with your mother later, she may have a clue.”(Val)

“Uhm...I understand.”(Kai)

Val was teaching me how to hunt in the middle of our territory for the first time, but after seeing me using air step to do the job without chanting his jaw dropped and this is the result…

*Sigh*

“Kai, how many magic skills do you have?”(Val)

“Hmmm… 3 I guess.”(Kai)

“THREE!?!?” (Val)

“Yes!?” (Kai)

(Calm down already!!)

….

“I see… But are all of them mid tier magic?…” (Val)

“No, only two of them…” (Kai)

…..

“Alright...We are done for today, let’s go back for now...” (Val)

“Y-yes father…”(Kai)

…….

“Don’t worry Kai, you haven’t done anything wrong, I am just surprised, that’s all.” (Val)

He said it with a big smile on his face then began to pat my head.

“Uhm…”(Kai)

I wonder how he will react if i tell him that I have created an original skill…

In the past two years, I have been following Val whenever he goes out to the field, thanks to that I have been able to absorb many souls of dead animals and monster, their level are no higher than 15 but their numbers is the real deal.

This plain is filled with Gaibu, a creature that looks like a rat with boar legs and feets, but several time bigger, it also has tusk in front of it’s mouth just like a wild boar.

These things give birth to at least 20 at once, their entire lifetime is very short the oldest ever found is around 3 years old, that is why they grow up rather quickly.

This place never run out of those, in fact they even eat their own kind after they were born to survive...

Anyway, in order to control the balance of this place we must take down no less than 40 of them everyday… Their meat tastes like just like pork but with a less amount of fat, not that it tastes bad but after having them for dinner every single day I am getting pretty sick of it.

*Sigh*

But I have grown this much in the past 2 years thanks to them.

“Oi! you guys, Val-san and his son are back open the gate!” (???)

A tall figure came out to greet me, it was Samo-san.

“Yo! How was your first hunt? Pretty hard wasn’t it? Keke don’t worry, I know how it’s, my first time wasn’t perf-” (Samo)

“No it was pretty easy.” (Kai)

(Well it was…)

“Eh???”(Samo)

“Ahahaha, no one in our tribe can beat your unbeatable record, 23 times not being able to get a single prey, umu you truly are a formidable opponent. (???)

A familiar voice came from behind.

“Hahahaha!!”

“You guys!!!” (Samo)

“Calm down we are just joking!” (Kai)

Hang in there buddy you will be able to do it soon enough…I hope.

Anyway, I am rooting for you!

I place my hand on his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

“Huh?”(Samo)

“Ahhh...nothing hehehe...”(Kai)

“Kai! I am heading to our tent you can just remain here if you want.” (Val)

“Y-yes father.”(Kai)

A few moment later…

“Eliz, We need to talk... It’s about Kai.” (Val)

He let out a sigh.

“Uhm? What is it dear? You sounds serious…DID HE GET HURT!?!” (Eliz)

“No no! Calm down Eliz…” (Val)

She let out a sigh of relief.

“First off all… Our son is capable of using mid tier magic…” (Val)

“EHHHH!?!? WHA-”(Eliz)

“SHHHHHH!!!”(Val)

“UHMMHUUHHMH!!…uu..”(Eliz)

(Huh? What is she saying? )

“THAT IS AMAZING VAL! WHERE IS KAI-CHAN!?! I WILL TEACH HIM UHUM..UAHH……mmmm” (Eliz)

I see, Val is trying to block her mouth… *Sigh*

“SHHHHH!! You are way too loud! What if the other find out!?” (Val)

“AH!!”(Eliz)

…..

“Sorry...Teehee”(Eliz)

*Sigh*

“Anyway…Do you have any Idea how he is able to use it?...” (Val)

“Hummm….mmmmmmmmmmmm….” (Eliz)

….

“So?…” (Val)

“Mahh~Who knows?…” (Eliz)

“Ugh…” (Val)

Sounds like he fell off his chair...Of course he would!

*Sigh* What the hell is her “master wizard” title for anyway???

“But does it even matter??” (Eliz)

(Eh?)

“I mean... Kai-chan is still our son isn’t he? Also miracle like this doesn’t happen everyday, don’t you think that we should cherish it?” (Eliz)

“U-uhm… You’re right…*Sigh* Oi Ka!i you heard your mother! How long are you going to stand out there?” (Val)

Busted….

Slowly I step toward the entrance.

“Sorry…”(Kai)

“It is fine, it’s about you after all… But eavesdropping is a bad habit you hear?” (Val)

“Yes…” (Kai)

…………..

…… Awkward~

“Mou~~ what kind of atmosphere is this?? Our Kai-chan is capable of using mid tier magic and perhaps even higher! Shouldn’t we be celebrating this instead!? Ne!? Kai-chan~” (Eliz)

“U-uhm!” (Kai)

“So~ What do you want for dinner?”(Eliz)

“Eh? What other choice do we have than Gaibu meat??” (Kai)

“Eheheh… you’re right….But don’t worry! Mommy has invented a new dish, just now to celebrate your talent!” (Eliz)

(Just now?!?!)

*Gulp*

“No Mom/Eliz!” (Kai/Val)

….

(Great mind think alike eh?)

“I-it’s fine mom, grilled Gaibu is fine!” (Kai)

“No way~~” (Eliz)

“U-uhm! I agree with Kai! maybe another time ok Eliz? Ok?” (Val)

….

*Gulph* 2x

“It can’t be help then…” (Eliz)

Phew...Close one…

Last time she invented a so call new dish, both me and Val had stomachache for the whole day...It gives me goosebumps just to think about it…

Next day somewhere on the plain…

“Kai-chan focus! Your mana is not taking form at all!” (Eliz)

“Y-yes!”(Kai)

(Uhh this is hard…)

“Fire lance!” (Kai)

(Yush! 3 more to go!)

…..

*Whoshhh*

(Almost there…)

(Got it!)

“YUSHAAA!!” (Kai)

*clap clap clap*

“Well done~”(Eliz)

“Ehehhe... Thanks mom.” (Kai)

With mom’s help I have learned a new spell which is called fire lance, forming it wasn’t hard at all but to make multiple at once is the real deal…

“Let’s take a short break shall we?” (Eliz)

She said it with a soft smile.

“Uhm!” (Kai)

Pheww… 4 fire lance already took 15% of my mp… I need to some how increases my mana or reduce the cost of it, otherwise I won’t have enough mana for other skills.

Mana isn’t something that I want on my equipments, unless I go for 100% mage build, which is a waste, since I have such a good body…

….I guess I will just ask her.

“Mom, is there any item that can increases user’s mana or reduce the mana cost?” (Kai)

“Uhmm… There are indeed items that can increases mana, but to reduce the cost of mana still remains as a myth…” (Eliz)

“A myth??” (Kai)

“Uhm some say that the branch of Yggdrasil have a mana cost reduce effect on it, the problem is no one have ever seen the tree itself…” (Eliz)

“Yggdrasil? The world tree??” (Kai)

“Indeed! But no one have ever seen it, legend says that the wood elves know where it’s located, since they are supposed to be the caretaker of the tree, but whenever I asked them the answers is neither no idea or never heard of, *sigh* mommy have been searching for it quite a while now but I haven’t found a single clue.” (Eliz)

“I see…” (Kai)

I guess I’ll need to use another method until I reach yggdrasil...If I can even find it.

….

“Allright! The break is ov-” (Eliz)

“GROARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!” (??????)

“!!!?!!?!?”

The echoing sound of a loud roar can be heard miles away…

“I-impossible!!!!” (Kai)

(I-it is all my fault!!!!!)

“Kai-chan where are you going!?!” (Eliz)

(It’s all my fault, It’s all my FAULT!!!!!!)

“Divine step!”(Kai)

“Eh?……KAI-CHAN!!!!!!”(Eliz)

Eliz is calling out for her son but right now It’s impossible for him to hear her… In just a split second he disappeared out of her sight.

“Please be alive!!!” (Kai)

…..

Finally Kai arrived the black panther’s village but by this time it’s already…

“Huh?” (Kai)

…..

The gate which is supposed to be there was torn apart by an unstoppable force, body parts and blood of the tribe’s members can be spotted everywhere, but the worst has yet to come...

"Grrrrrrrrr…"
