In the middle of a star-filled night, running as hard as possible on the vast prairie was a young girl who could not yet be called a teenager.
What he was wearing was a white robe that had been tattered and tainted by mud and dirt.
His side faithfully held the triangular hat that was on his head in order not to be detached as he ran at full speed. While his other hand held tightly to a wooden Staff with crystals
light is embedded in the head.
"Ha... Ha... Uh.huh..."
With a breath of breath, the little girl exerted all her remaining energy to make her two little legs in order to continue running nonstop.
The reason why he was running in the middle of the night is obvious if you see what's running behind him.
Just less than ten steps away from the girl was a figure wearing a terrifying black-flamed Heavy Armor.
Although the creature at first glance looks like a Human, but you will think otherwise if you look closer.
Growing from its stocky, muscular body are black spines shaped like the teeth of a shark. The thorns grow all over his body which continues to spread from his waist to his head which makes it difficult to recognize his true face.
Even her hair had now turned into a kind of jagged black wire so long that it made her hair drag on the ground as she ran after the little girl.
From his face that no longer looked like the face of a Man, his mouth formed a wide smile which displayed the contents of his mouth that looked like a grinding machine filled with
sharp jagged as his saliva flowed profusely from his open mouth.
Seeing this, the little girl accelerated even more.
(Light Burst)
Using her magic, the little girl fired a light bomb that*******full body of the creature that chased after her without slowing down her footsteps in the slightest.
!!!...Boooom....!!!
A bright light shone on the dark grassland.
From within that light, appeared the figure of the creature that was not seen getting the slightest injury despite having been hit by a direct attack.
"SIIIAALAYANNN!!!"
Removing all his heart, the girl can only scream while looking up at the sky for bad luck that comes her way.
After firing his final magic, not only was the stamina he no longer had even his Mana stock already started to run out.
It made him no longer able to go so much that his small body fell and rolled on the ground.
The triangular hat he always wore was now thrown away from him which revealed his short blond hair that was like a golden strand.
His green eyes could only look weakly at the creature that was now right in front of him.
Without bothering to stop, the creature lunged directly at the girl who was lying on the ground with both hands that now looked like the claws of a beast outstretched as if wanting to pounce
that poor girl.
Knowing that his death was imminent, the girl was neither afraid nor closed her eyes. Even his eyes were still staring straight at the creature.
With her Staff still in hand, the girl attempted to deliver her final blow.
"Come!"
Shouting her determination, the girl prepared to continue fighting until the end.
When the creature was only one step away from him... Suddenly a large snake made of vines devoured the creature round and round.
"Eh!?!"
Not finished he was surprised, suddenly there was a vine wrapped around his body and pulled himself away from the snake.
To add to his shock, there was a female voice that sounded familiar but also sounded foreign to him.
"Well, has no one ever taught you that a little girl like you shouldn't walk around in the middle of the night like this. See, as a result you're being chased by a freak, right?"
Looking back, the same figure of a Witch (Witch) looks like it.
What the Witch was wearing was a long black robe that looked like a luxurious dress due to the golden ornaments that adorned the robe. Decorating his head was a triangular hat worn by Witches (Witch) just like him.
Although the wind is now blowing hard, but the hat is right in place. Even the gust of wind made her dark purple hair flutter beautifully under the night sky.
Seeing the Staff the Witch had brought, the little girl instantly averted her eyes. [Sixth Sense] that he had shouted loudly to not see the Staff any longer.
In the end, the girl looked at the Witch's face.
"Teacher?"
...
Geez, just got out of bed I've been in love with the sight of a little girl being chased by strange uncles.
Since the girl was wearing Witch clothes, I decided to help the girl myself because my slaves and even Grandma were still asleep.
I did not call my Servants because for this time alone, I wanted to fight directly with a creature I had never met before.
Now it's... Why does this girl call me a teacher?
I'll put this matter aside first because it seems that the freak is still not dead.
(Combine-Metal Control)
Turning the body (Nature Serpent) into steel, I focused my magic on the mouth so as to make (Nature Serpent) have sharp canine teeth like a sword.
"Still stubborn too yeah"
I could clearly feel that the person was still alive and even rebelled in the mouth (Nature Serpent).
"If so... (Electro Control)"
Flowing the entire body (Nature Serpent) with electricity, I tried to shock the person to death.
"Not dead either! All right, young lady, can you explain to me what that thing really is?"
"Ah, he is the Captain of the Narsist Kingdom who attempted to infiltrate the Sanguine Kingdom that my team accidentally encountered while on patrol. We had initially managed to deal with them all until the Captain
acting strange and turning into that strange creature"
"That damn kingdom again... Was that Captain wearing some kind of cursed item or something?"
"Item... Uh! The armor!"
Armor yeah...
Hmm, looking back, I can indeed sense that there was something wrong with the Armor she was wearing. My choice right now is either to destroy the Armor or to attempt to unleash it
of body.
At the time I was busy thinking, the Captain had almost escaped the grip (Nature Serpent) by shredding the jaw (Nature Serpent) which should be made of steel.
"It seems that I don't have the luxury to release that Armor... All right, I'll just destroy it"
Right after the Captain managed to escape the mouth (Nature Serpent), he was again greeted by the second (Nature Serpent).
With the Captain in his mouth, I sent a second (Nature Serpent) up high into the sky... Before finally swooping sharply back to the ground fiercely.
Booom...!!!
The hard lacing produced by (Nature Serpent) makes dust fly everywhere.
Using (Aero Control) to keep the dust away from me, I immediately fired (Dual-Casting) (Metal Stake) which made steel pegs sprung from the ground and then continued with (Flame Missile) which I fired directly at the captain should have been be in.
Without confirming the Captain's condition, I again attacked him using (Stone Fall) and (Combine-Metal Control) which made a large steel ball fall directly on top of the Captain like a meteor rock.
As a final touch, I used the (Flaming Ground) I continued with (Fire Pillar).
By positioning the second (Nature Serpent) into the standby position, I witnessed a pillar of fire that was burning brightly over any campfire.
"That's enough, the creature's finished"
Without me noticing, Grandma had already woken up from her sleep and had even put on her Witch robe. Beside him I also saw the little girl who seemed to have been healed by Grandma standing up
staring at the still towering pillar of fire.
Disabling (Fire Pillar), all that remains is a black crater with a reddish-lit steel peg.
Right in the middle of the crater is the figure of the Captain who has been burned so that his appearance is impossible to recognize anymore.
Just in case, I re-used (Metal Stake) to keep the body of the Captain from getting back up while making sure that the Armor he was wearing was completely destroyed.
•[Metal Magic] has reached level 10, getting 1SP•
•[Metal Lance) from [Metal Magic]•
•[Lightning Magic] has reached level 5, gaining 1SP•
•(Electro Shock) and (Electro Whip) from [Lightning Magic]•
"Hm... All right then. Son Clara, can you please explain to me what is really going on here?"
"L-yes, Chief Cardinal!"
The girl named Clara then explained back what she had explained to Grandma but in more detail.
It seemed that the troops from the Narsist Kingdom who had come to infiltrate brought the three Beastmen with them. One had been killed by the Narsist Kingdom because it could no longer walk while the other two had been saved.
When Clara and her team managed to corner the army from Narsist Kingdom, the, the Captain started acting strangely and the golden Armor he was wearing suddenly turned black and turned him into the monstrous creature I was fighting.
A fierce fight ensued to make two members of Clara's team seriously injured so inevitably Clara had to divert the Captain's attention away from the border while giving time to
his friends to escape.
Long story short, Clara kept running until she met us.
"so... All right, son Clara, you just rest. It just so happened that we were also heading back home so you could come with us"
"Thank you for your kindness"
Seeing Clara's tattered robe, Grandma gave her another one for Clara to wear. Obviously Clara tried to resist but Grandma still insisted. With a sigh Clara also changed clothes and I did not think that Grandma's clothes were very fitting with her.
"Clara right? How old are you?"
"Age? If it's not wrong now I'm 16 years old"
"Sixteen years...."
Looking back at Grandma, I became aware that Grandma was on par with a 16-year-old girl.
"I know what you're thinking. This time I'll let it go because I take it as a compliment. Now, let's get inside the train and get back on our way"
...
I really don't know what's really going on right now.
Which started from being chased by an opponent that I could not defeat, now I wore the clothes of the Cardinal Chief and even drove in the same vehicle as him.
Because of my position, I had expected that sooner or later this would happen.
But I never thought it would happen this way!
Moreover, the person sitting intimately beside the Chief Cardinal had the same face as my Master but his overall appearance was very different.
My teacher had bright purple hair and eyes and his overall appearance was that of a Human.
But the person before me now not only had dark purple hair and flaming violet eyes, his entire appearance showed clearly that he was from another race that was not Human.
Also, doesn't he look younger than Master?
As if knowing what I was thinking, the Cardinal Chief then answered all my questions.
"If you ask me why this girl beside me is so similar to Rosemary, it is only natural that she is my first grandchild. Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender La Ciel"
"First grandson!"
It's unbelievable.
Many people thought that Master Rosemary was the only granddaughter of the Cardinal Chief. However, as a student and the closest person to Master Rosemary, he had told me that Master
having a sister born to her mother's sister, the Vice-Chairman of the Asterids.
I didn't think that now I had met him and witnessed his power in person.
In the midst of my shock, I realized that Miss Lavender had been looking at me with a sweet smile on her face... And look at me with her scary eyes.
"You could think of me as your teacher. Does that mean you're Mary's student?"
"Mary? ...Ah, if you mean Master Rosemary, right. My name is Clara, the first disciple of Master Rosemary La Ciel"
Right after I finished introducing myself, I suddenly discovered that Miss Lavender had brought her face very close to mine. I could feel his breath right on my face and his flower-like scent was clearly smelled by my nose.
"Hm... Daughter of a noble.." satisfied, Miss Lavender then took her face away from me and returned to her original seat "...It's great that you're Mary, too, to find such an interesting student".
I was silent when I heard Miss Lavender's words.
I'm pretty sure that I've been very careful about keeping secrets that I come from a noble family.
The only ones who knew of this secret were the Cardinal Chief, the Vice Chairman of the Asterids, and of course Master Rosemary.
I never thought Miss Lavender would be able to know my secret in one look.
"Don't you scare him like that, our goal in returning to Sol Ciel is not only to discuss the Narsist Kingdom but also so that you can choose your own students"
"Oh, should I also take a disciple?"
"Of course, it is a hereditary tradition that is required for all Magicians (Witch) to raise one or two Forest Dwellers as their disciples"
This is big news!
At the time Master Rosemary announced that she was about to raise a disciple, many people including myself were flocking to great lengths to be accepted as disciples of our Granddaughter-in-Chief.
I can still clearly remember how much effort I had to put into attracting Master Rosemary. Even after I was elected, I still couldn't believe how lucky I was now.
And now, another Grandson of the Cardinal Chief will also be looking for a disciple.
Those who failed before will not miss this second place!
Geck! Tok Tok!
Suddenly there was a knock from the direction of the driver's seat which then came the voice of a woman.
"Master, in front there are other Witches coming over"
"Oh, that must be the rescue team"
Not long after that, the train stopped.
The first to come out was the Cardinal Chairman who was followed by Miss Lavender. Of course I was the last one out.
What I saw first was the sight of the five Magicians (Witch) paying their respects to the Cardinal Chief.
The one leading the Witches was none other than my Master, Rosemary La Ciel.
He wore a white robe that had a model similar to the one now worn by the Cardinal Chief. It's just that Master's cloak looks simpler to show that his position is more
low of the Cardinal Chairman.
"Good night and welcome back, Grandma"
"It's nice to see you're still okay. Also, if you are looking for your beloved disciple, he is fine, we, or rather your brother has saved his life"
Right after the Cardinal Chief said that, Master Rosemary and Miss Lavender finally faced each other.
It was seen that the other four Magicians standing behind Master were very surprised when they saw someone who had a face very similar to Master's.
I understand their feelings. Because even after knowing the real facts, I still remained in disbelief with what I saw now.
While we were being stunned, the two sisters had already greeted each other.
"It's good to see you back, Lavy"
"Our feelings are the same, my sister Mary"
