The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 02 - [The Origin of An Ability ]

...CHAPTER 2 - THE ORIGIN OF ABILITY...

...◇◇◇...

Raising my right hand forward, I pointed it towards the expanse of grassland.

I began to cast the magic I had mastered.

Fire Magic.

Bwooossh!

The fireball shot forward magnificently and after a while evaporated in the air.

"Woohoo~" I was amazed by my magic power.

Then I raised my right hand again, but it was different from the first. I just want to check.

"Fire magic is good" I said, looking at the flame in my hand.

A flame that was as big as a basketball appeared in the palm of my hand. The fire in my hand splashed with heat and death. The red color is lit up with blazing.

Although the magic I use is among the most basic magic. The result is quite good to use to fight from how the first shot I had before.

"I am skilled with Fire magic. But, I think I should learn to control it even better," I said given how careless I was at controlling magic.

Then the fire in my hand instantly extinguished instantly after I stopped the flow of mana in my palm.

"Alright, I just need to practice as usual," I said taking the wooden sword that was lying beside me.

Because when I grew up, I was an adventurer and swordsman, I mastered my old sword skills and now I can easily master them again in my young age.

When I herd, I often practice swinging my sword and demonstrating my sword techniques so that my skills are not dull.

[Swordsmanship Ability rose by 1 level! ]

Goody. Now I find it easier to swing a sword.

"This is the best!"

I became very excited and continued to repeat swinging the sword in the meadow while guarding the cattle.

Then the voice I heard often appeared.

"Ren, aren't you tired of just swinging a sword every day?" said a girl carrying a basket of food.

The beautiful young girl came closer and immediately sat on a large rock not far from my place, she looked jutek and cold.

She had reddish orange hair that contrasted with the meadow, then she glanced at me boredly while patting the basket.

My blue eyes see me.

"It's the food I brought, your mother said spend it."

"Yes, yes I know" I said, holding up the sword.

He sighed and watched me rather lazily.

The girl was named Amelia urona, she was my childhood friend and someone who would join the holy church as an adult.

"Ren, is it fun to practice such a sword every day?" he said with a bored face.

"Haha!" I laughed amusedly.

"Why are you laughing?" said wonder.

I stopped laughing and looked at him.

Amelia was a year younger than me and visited me most often while bringing me the food that my mother made.

The reason she used to visit me and carry a food basket was because of my mother.

He had been asked for his help to bring his mother's hand-made provisions to the meadow where I was herding.

However, I don't know since when he has done it more often. Even though mom only asked for it once, she willingly wanted to bring it every day.

Even to this day, he often brought me food.

Whoosh!

I still swung my sword and talked to him.

"Yes, honestly it was boring at first. But!"

I pulled my hands together and swung the sword horizontally to my right where there were several trees and one of the largest, tall and sturdy trees was visible.

My sword swung straight towards the tree.

BRAAK!!

The wooden sword stuck into the tree and I pushed it more calmly.

A blue light surrounded the sword, looking Amelia looked at me confusedly.

BRAAAKK! A BAAAAM!

"I like it too" I turned to him.

The tree fell majestically and split into two smoothly.

Amelia looked at me speechlessly and looked away as she replied to me.

"Stupid, you don't have to show off" he said with blushing cheeks.

"Is that so? Hahaha.it seems like I'm a bit overboard."

Amelia pouted but she still sat bored, without wanting to leave.

"Houp!"

Even so, I kept practicing..

Whoosh!

Since practice is my own pleasure.

"..." - ".Amelia looked at me continuously, as if she had no job.

.........

"Hey, Ren." he said as I rested.

"What?" I said take meat-filled bread from the food basket.

Amelia who was sitting next to me stared at the sky for a moment, and then looked straight into my eyes, her face still looking bored.

"Tomorrow there will be a Hunting Festival. You're going to come?"

"Hunting?"

Ah.. That festival.. I just remembered.

Supposedly tomorrow will be held "Hunting Festival" where the participants are competing to bring the most wild animal hunts to get the first champion.

The first prize this year..

Well, I'm sure many will be taking part.

"Hmmm.."

I think I'll follow him.

"You're not coming?" Amelia tried to confirm.

"No, I'll come. Because by participating in the event, I can show how developed my sword skills are there," I said eating bread casually.

"Yes, maybe. But I think hunting with archery is better, right?" he said he took a vegetable sandwich.

Archery? Hm.. It should have been easier to hunt wild animals, but I wasn't very suited to it.

Maybe, because I prefer close combat..

Hm.. If I don't remember wrongly, wasn't Amelia an archer before she got the Holy Priest Job later, when the Blessed Maturity got her.

"Fixed, I will use the sword" I said confidently.

"Hm.. Well, I've seen your sword style a lot. So you shouldn't have any problems at the festival" he said, eating his bread.

"Surely." I also eat my bread.

"Yes too.."

"mm?"

Seeing Amelia talk a lot, made me a little curious about her intentions. Could it..

"Lia, are you planning on joining the show?"

"I? Nope, no. I don't want to." He seriously refused.

Even Amelia crossed her arms to refuse.

"Is that so, what a pity. I thought I'd get a rival while hunting," I said slightly provoking him.

"Hmph, it won't work. I still don't want to!" he said with a frown.

"Aren't you, Lia's an expert in archery?"

"It doesn't want to!" he said he puffed his cheeks and swallowed his bread.

"Uhuk."

I choked and took a drink. Seeing her so funny as she puffed her cheeks, I was eager to pinch her cheeks.

After drinking the water, I asked again.

"Is that right, you don't want to?"

"Hmph, I don't want to! You idiot!"

Amelia stood up and stuck out her tongue at me which then immediately ran away after saying it, leaving me alone with some Bread.

"Haha.. Looks like she's still traumatized." I said, who then continued herding cattle.

.........

Tomorrow, I'm at the village square.

Today is the Day the Hunting Festival event will be held and the main event will start in the middle of the village as the starting point and the place where the hunting gathering takes place.

I attended the main event, because Dad urged me to take part in the hunt. Although it was my intention from the beginning to follow the show.

Then, there were two of my friends who were also present at the Hunting Event.

They are Doglass Jera, a curly man with Brown hair and another named Rico Dio, a Brown-haired Short Man with a Bob haircut.

"Yes, Ren. You coming too?" said Doglass saw me approaching him.

"It's not clear, I'd love to try my sword skill after so long of self-training" said I patted the iron sword on my waist.

"Hahaha, you are now able to attend the Festival. But you'll have to exceed my hunt later if you want to win!" doglass said confidently.

I wanted to refute him because he was the same age as me, but I guess I just let him go.

Doglass patted my back hard as he said it, it was painful.

Then he went with Rico who didn't talk as much as he used to.

"Yes.." I breathed to see they had not changed.

Well, I remember a long time ago that Doglass was a hard personality and had high prestige. Unlike Rico who is more often silent and just listening, he is more submissive than he looks.

Never mind, then where is Dad?

So I walked and circled the village streets, many stalls were made beside the road.

Since I had some copper coins, I bought one rabbit satay and ate it on the street.

"Hm?" I swallowed the rabbit satay and looked at the man I was looking for.

At the place where the village chief was, it was seen that Father and the village chief were talking so loudly.

As if to tell them they were there.

Then I approached them both.

"Ah, Son. Have you prepared everything?"

"Of course, Dad."

My father, Daken Maulana. He was big and twice as tall as me. His face was crested and had a scar on his cross-shaped cheek.

He looked fierce and wild, but still he was a caring and worry-free man.

He carried a huge Sword on his back and looked like he was eager to Hunt.

"Good, then the village chief. When will the show start?"

"Awhile more. You can start getting ready first. So just wait."

Then, I will prepare once more before leaving.

"Dad, I'll go first."

"Yes, go away."

So I walked away from those who were still speaking out loud.

Then I went to where the show was about to start.

"Oh?" I found Amelia not far from there with her friend.

then I went to the place where Amelia was talking to her friend.

"Hey, Lia," I said.

"Oh, Ren? What's up?"

When I came to say hello to Amelia, her friend was hiding behind her.

She's like I remember her name was Fiona Asfa. They both have a reddish Orange haired resemblance. They look like twins, but they are actually cousins and have the same bloodline as their great-grandmother.

"Aren't you coming?" kataku.

"Not that, I've rejected it.." Amelia spoke with some annoyance.

His face was not happy, but it was not that I did not know. But sooner or later he will face it, because in the future he will become the Holy Priestess (Holy Maidens.)

"Well, but you might one day have to.."

"What do you mean?"

"No other meaning.."

When I said that, I had already started to leave behind the pouting Amelia.

Fiona beside him was still hiding even though she looked calmer after I left.

So while waiting for the event to start, I wandered around the food stalls opened by the traveling merchants.

"Buy one sir."

"Aigo, here we go."

"Tenkyu."

I sat down on the available seats and waited for the start of the event.

Every now and then I see my bustling surroundings of people passing by in the fun of the Hunting Festival.

The Konora Village Hunting Festival is the best. So it is definitely a lot of traders and travelers who come to do business and see this event.

Then, a person of good looks climbed onto the stage and carried a sound artifact; Mic.

"Tests, tests." he said as he took to the stage.

"Well, the Festival is about to begin!"

The voice of the Host sounded blaring on the stage.

The hunting festival is about to begin.
