Identity and First Love
The next day, the thin little man returned to the barn where Barim and Erim had piled wood from a tree belonging to a noble family. He hid behind a tree and peered into the back wall of the barn that Barim had repaired. He then narrowed his eyes to look far ahead of where Barim was preparing to climb the big tree. Meanwhile, Erim waited downstairs."They've started working," said the thin little man.He then walked and was about to pick up some wooden ties. This time he didn't break into the back wall of the barn. But he didn't break the back wall again. instead walked around and broke into the front door. After he picked up some wooden ties, he walked towards the hill of Shina. And when he got to the hillside on the gentle one where there were big trees, he didn't go up like yesterday. Instead, keep walking the two kilometers to the barn where Terry, Dema, and Boris kept the wooden bundles."With this, my task is done," the little thin man chuckled.Having finished with his business,

A Proof
Since Yuta was serious about studying magic, he came to the garden square again and sat on the long bench waiting for Erald to come. His heart could not wait to immediately learn magic. His heart was pounding like he was waiting for a lover. But after he waited for more than an hour, Erald never came. There was not even a sign of people crowding around."Has he moved places?" Ran asked while looking around.There was no sign of Erald's arrival. The atmosphere and circumstances in this garden square are normal. Yuta then headed for a shop that sells sweets for hours. Because this shop is directly opposite the park square. So the shop owner, who mostly sat facing the garden square, would know what was happening in front of him."Excuse me, sir. Did you see a crowd of people in the park square yesterday?" Yuta asked while pointing to where the crowd was yesterday.The shop owner with the thick mustache thought trying to remember what happened yesterday."Oh, yes. Yesterday there was quit

Hand Speed
Terry and Barim looked at each other with sharp eyes. While their right hand is each holding tightly taxane. When all was quiet, Terry shouted as he ran and slashed his ax up and down. Barim dodged to the left then he butted Terry in the stomach pushing him and ramming him into the door. Terry's back hit the door. But because Barim kept pushing, the door burst and they both fell and rolled in the snow."They really fought," said Dema."What should we do? It's a terrible sight,” Boris looked panicked."Looks like we'll have to end it violently," Terry said as he rose to his feet."To teach a thief, you have to be a little violent," replied Barim as he ran and slashed his ax from left to right.Terry dodged by jumping backward then he countered with his ax attack from top to bottom. Barim restrained with the handle of his ax so that the handles of the two of them were now colliding with each other."You're accusing us!" Terry shouted."I accuse with evidence," said Barim.“But Boris has

Teacher and Student
It was already evening. The sun was almost slipping on the eastern horizon. The snow that fell and was carried by the wind had now lessened. People who have been active since the morning are ready to return to their respective homes. At the tavern, Yuta was still trying hard to practice the trick to hide the two balls. Even his hands were sore now."Alright, enough for today," said Erald as he stretched his spine."This is a simple trick. But it's very difficult," said Yuta.“Everything if we understand the basic technique, it will be easier when we study it further. Even without a teacher.”"So how much should I pay you?"Erald looked at Yuta. Then he laughed."Hahaha, don't worry about that. Seeing your determination to study alone is worth it for me,” Erald smiled broadly."What do you mean?"“I will teach you all the magic tricks I can. And when you can do it, you'll make your own magic tricks."Yuta fell silent hearing Erald's answer.“B...but....”"Don't think about it," Erald c

Stick and Coin
Erald and Yuta looked at each other. Since Erald was sitting on his folding platform and Yuta was sitting cross-legged on the snow, Yuta looked up a little to see Erald. Before long, Erald smiled broadly.“I'll teach you another magic trick,” said Erald."What trick?" asked Yuta.“There are some easy tricks you can learn as a beginner.”Yuta nodded.Erald smiled then he took a coin and showed it to Yuta."You know what this is?" asked Erald.Yuta replied, “Coins.”“I will remove this coin. Watch my hands,” Erald rolled up the sleeves of his coat and service to below his elbows."I'll pay attention," Yuta nodded.Erald placed the coin in the palm of his left hand then closed it tightly. Rubbing the back of the left hand with the right. When his right hand snapped his fingers, his left fist opened and the coin was gone."Where's the coin?" Yuta's eyes glanced at Erald's hands.“Pay attention to this,” Erald raised the index finger of his right hand.Erald's right hand gestured as if he

Stick vs Ax
After several times Yuta tried the coin trick, his hands felt sore. He even waved his hand because it was sore. Erald laughed seeing Yuta whose hands were sore. Because he remembered when he first learned magic. He also felt what Yuta felt at that time."Relax, I felt the same way when I first learned magic," Erald smiled broadly."It seems everyone will feel the same way when they do something for the first time," said Yuta, clenching his fists."You are right."“This is a lot like when I first learned how to cut chunks of wood with my father's ax. The ax was very heavy. To the point that my palms hurt and my hands also feel the same way.”"And after getting used to it?""It doesn't feel at all.""Then you try again."Yuta nodded then he tried to perform the trick again. This time the coin did not fall. But Yuta's hand movements were still slow and the movement of the coins was still visible when Erald carefully watched Yuta's movements.“If you stand as a spectator, the coins still

The Ruler
The harder he tried to learn coin tricks, Yuta have feel tired. For over an hour he stood in front of the mirror cloth and practiced the coin trick until his hands got used to it. Erald just sat on his folding platform while watching Yuta. Now and then he corrected Yuta's mistakes. But this time, Erald felt that Yuta had mastered the coin trick.“Okay, you can perform the trick in front of me,” said Erald.Yuta stopped and turned to face Erald. His sharp eyes stared at Erald then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and let it out through his mouth. After opening his eyes, Erald immediately performed the coin trick. He held the coin in his right hand then he put the coin in his left palm then he held the coin. His right hand rubbed the back of his left hand and after that, he snapped the fingers of his right hand and opened his right hand. The coin is gone.“Good,” Erald nodded.Then Yuta made a motion rubbing his palms. And when his left palm closes, he snaps the fingers of his

A Shock
When the heating stove's fire started to shrink, Erna immediately threw another lump of wood. The fire slowly grew and the room temperature grew warmer. It wasn't long before Erni sat beside him. They were silent while watching the snow frogs hunting the insects that Erna had given them. Now and then the frogs were silent staring at something empty.“Hey, sometimes, I think I'd better be a star. Especially frogs," said Erna breaking the silence."Why do you think so?" asked Erni who was surprised by her twin sister's statement.“Whatever fate befell them, they always accept it. Look at these frogs. Brought by our father in a frozen state. Separated from family and friends. They continue to live. Even fate feeds him through my hands.” Erna opened her right hand wide."Then, think of yourself as an animal," Erni patted Erna's shoulder."Can not. Humans have passions. Sometimes they accept fate. Sometimes, they do not accept the fate that befell them. Humans are complex creatures of thou

Before That Will Happens
The townspeople of Sarmith were taken aback by the slight shaking that occurred. They stopped their respective activities and partly looked towards the southwest. Like something caught their attention. It didn't take long for the small shaking to stop. Of course, some people will think that the shock was a small earthquake. The people in the market near the park square were confused by what had happened."Was that an earthquake?" asked the candy seller."I think so. A few minutes before, the animals were behaving strangely,” replied one of the candy shop customers wearing a hat."I have a bad feeling about this," said another customer who was a man with neat hair."Throw away your thoughts. Sarmith is a peaceful city and there has never been a conflict, let alone a natural disaster,” said the candy seller.The shock was no longer felt. But the behavior of the animals remained strange. Even the sheep breeders were confused by what happened to their sheep. The farmer with the long beard

Storm
Lamin shouted louder as his hands were stretched out and accompanied by the shaking of the earthquake. Barim and Terry were still trying not to get sucked in. But their efforts failed. They were sucked and strangled by Lamin's hand. His right hand strangled Barim's neck, and his left hand strangled Terry's neck. Lamin turned to the two of them in turn and slammed them onto the ground very hard.Instantly Barim and Terry spit blood from their mouths. Lamin then laughed in satisfaction. He then bent down while his hands were like hugging. Then he stretched out his arms with all his might and suddenly there was a kind of shaking again this time bigger. The thunder roared and the snow fell even more.“Master Lamin, you managed to obtain the power of the ancestral tree and nature,” Labib said proudly.Erim couldn't do anything about it. He was just holding on to the tree because the wind that carried the snow was blowing very hard."What happened?" asked Boris."Looks like Lamin is absorbi
