S-RANK IN ANOTHER WORLD 9 Training 2

I woke up the next morning, and realised my mana had increased by a point once again.

Excited yet composed, I called Marya.

"Marya"

And here she was, in the blink of an eye.

"What is it, Endl?"

"Marya I want to go outside and play, this is very boring" I looked at the distant houses and spoke.

There were several houses outside. My house being the main one, and thus, a little farther from the rest.

Truth was, I was planning to secretly train Fire and Earth Magic in the backyard.

Mom allowed Marya to take me out, and today she can't talk to my mother in person anyway.

Looking at me, She considered it for a moment.

"Alright, since you want it so much." she smiled and took my hand, leading me to the door.

As I stepped out, the breeze hit my face. It was a marvellous sensation my body forgot, and a joy my heart lost.

Mom told me that I couldn't go out alone, because of the monsters beyond the village. Though they are of the weaker cla.s.s of Goblins and Kobolds, they are usually hidden in the forest surrounding our village.

"You can stay here, but only play around the house all right?" Marya catiously warned.

"Fine, I won't go far, I promise" like the good boy I was, I nodded fervently.

After Marya went inside, I dashed to the backyard. In front of my house were usually few adults and children pa.s.sing by now and then.

Since they live here too, of course they would. Even so, people move around all day, and only the night can slow them down.

Entering the backyard, I started the steps again, beginning with Fire magic.

"Ball of Fire"

Skill Learnt: Fire Magic - Level 1

Even in this ancient world of fire magic, this basic magic had the most destructive power.

Next I turned to Earth Magic. But there was a problem.

There is no magic Earth Ball,right?

I began to imagine a boulder, and chanted a spell.

"Boulder"

Soon, a stone the size of my wrist appeared. It was heavy. I dropped the stone to the ground and got the message.

Skill Learnt: Earth Magic - Level 1

Now I have the magic of all the elements, right?

No, wait! There are still dark element magic and light magic!

In the book, however, there was no mention of how to use those spells. I thought for a moment and remembered something—dark element magic can only be used by demons and light magic can only learnt after joining a church in the capital.

Not a big deal. Elemental spells are good as well.

I continued to practice Fire Magic—the best offensive magic of the 4 elements.

It lasted for 2 hours before the long awaited message finally came up.

Fire Magic Skill has leveled up.

Now I have three level 2 spells!

And I want…..more.

But after raising the wind spell to level 2, I trained till my mana ran out, but still couldn't raise it to level 3.

Apparently, after reaching level 2, improving spells through training gets very difficult.

After my Fire Magic rose to level 2, I realized my mana had already fallen to 12/71.

I don't know if I could decrease mana consumption. But what I do know is that I have a super high mana pool for my age.

The good news is that I can still increase it with training.

Shortly after completing my training, I looked at my Status.

Yes, it's fine, I still have a lot of time to train. I can't wait to grow a little longer and start fencing training.

I heard Marya calling out my name and so, I ran off to the front of the house.

"Where were you? I was worried" Marya said, catching her breath and worry still evident in her eyes.

Apparently, she was frantically searching for him once she couldn't find him.

"I was in the backyard. I found a bird and was playing with it" I reply without any hesitation.

I didn't wish to lie to her, but ...it's better this way.

"So that was it. You have to let me know when you are gonna disappear like this, else it almost kills me with fright" Marya looked at him and said in a stern yet loving tone.

She was worried.

'A lovely babysitter.'

I nodded.

"let's go inside" Marya led me in.

I went to my room and played with Marya until Mom arrived.

Then, we had dinner. On the dining table was Me, Lily and Mom.

Usually, Marya goes to her parents' house at dinner time, and Dad doesn't have dinner with us.

"How was today, Endl?" mom asked, taking her chopsticks.

"I played with Marya. That's it." I replied, minding my own meal.

She had a wry smile before she started eating.

After dinner, I went to my room and lay on my bed.

I started using Wind Magic again to train, and to exhaust my mana.

Skill Wind Magic has leveled up.

Ooohh! level up! now level 3!

I knew it was close to leveling up.

That means reaching level 4 now must be impossible, right?

I want to grow up soon. Then, I can hunt monsters and raise my Level.

kept using Wind Magic until my mana ran out, and not long after, I fell asleep.
