2024-10-29 19:42:56"Becka come quickly I have to help him"
he said in a panic, Becka was a bit confused but she figured out what she had to do quickly
"Place him down, I can help him"
Teras did what he was told, Becka's hands emitted a green light and the bunny was slowly getting healed, few seconds passed and the bunny was as good as new but it fell asleep
"Thank you so much!"
he said while kneeling down on his knees
"Stand up kid you have a lot to learn, oh and kid for you it's Ms. Becka, if you call me Becka again I'm going to cut this tongue of yours, got it?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Good now come with me I will take you to hell"
she said with a sweet smile that scared Teras, Teras then stood up
"Let me take the bunny inside so it doesn't catch a cold"
it was something stupid to do, at the time the temperature was really high even though the sun was set
"Fine but make it quick"
Teras then grabbed the bunny and ran to Tokkou's room, he placed the bunny on his desk and covered it with a blanket up to its head, he left some room for it so it could breath, after that Teras run back to the backyard
"Took you long enough, now let's go"
Becka said, Teras apologized and then followed Becka to wherever she was going, turns out Becka was heading into a small building that was made out of some kind of stone, Teras thought that it was kind of strange but didn't question it, reason being that Becka would probably get mad at him
"This is the room you will spend more of your time training, this room is made of a special type of rock that helps you control mana also your mana regeneration is faster"
Teras was amused, there were so many useful material that he didn't know they existed
"So first of all I want you to answer some questions so I know what level you are at mana control, I know you haven't used mana ever but you these will still help you"
Teras nodded in agreement, so Becka started asking
"What do you want to do with mana?"
"I want to become stronger in order to protect myself"
He replied , Becka wrote it down on a note book, that confused Teras but he didn't really mind it
"How many questions are there"
Teras asked
"I ask the questions not you, so answer me before I leave"
Becka replied in an agry tone
"Okay fine ask!"
Teras said to calm her down
"Have you ever killed a person?"
'what are these questions for anyway?'
Teras wondered
"N-No"
he replied, Becka wrote it down and continued
"Are you planning to kill someone in the future?"
'Does she think I'm someone bad or something?'
he thought
"Ms.Becka sorry for being rude but how do these questions have anything to do with mana?"
Becka raised her hands quickly, and a chunk of the ground around Teras raised, Teras was caught in Becka's earth power, Teras couldn't move a muscle, Becka then approached Teras and punched him
"Don't play dump you bastard! I know what you are after"
Teras was confused, he didn't remember doing anything bad during the day
"What are you talking about Mrs.Becka?"
Becka punched him again
"If you don't tell me for who you work for fast I will crush you right here and know"
"I'm telling you, I don't know what are you talking about"
"Lies!!! I saw you on your way back, this was the movement of an assassin, also in the arena, you easily won a mana user with no power at all, but the fact that gave it all out was something that happened yesterday, I went to my master's room because of his order and what do I see? A half-dead child sitting down on a destroyed wall, do you think that someone with 0 mana control could survive master's attack? the answer is no!"
Teras was confused, but once he thought all about all of the things that Becka said he found it logical for Becka to believe that he is an assassin but he was angry because he was accused of trying to murder someone he considered close
"I would never do such a thing to my only friend!"
Becka didn't expect this kind of answer but she still didn't believe Teras, the facts she had gathered showed more than enough evidence that Teras was an assassin, her thoughts were disturbed by a voice, and with it came a massive amount of pressure on the air
"Release him now Becka!"
it was Tokkou, he was angry, Becka was surprised, he was supposed to be at the town's bar enjoying some fresh wine
"M-Master as you see I have captured an assassin..."
she said in a trembling voice
"Nonsense, Teras isn't an assassin, he is just some guy that I found in the woods and brought him here"
"B-But he has surely shown some talent that a common person could never possess"
"You are true, Teras has a talent for fighting, but does it make him an assassin? I don't think so Becka, just so you know I chose you to teach Teras about mana because I thought of you as my best most well-trusted maid I have, in my surprise, this seems to be false"
Becka was shocked, the person she looked up to the most just admitted that he trusted her, Tokkou in the past when Becka was still a teenager rescued her family and her from a group of slave sellers and suggested that she could work for him to repay him for what he did for her and her family , Becka agreed, not because she thought of it as a fair trade but she fell deeply in love with Tokkou, he was someone that freed her from years of torment and he unleashed her from her prison and opened her wings to freedom, she started to cry after remembering all that Tokkou did for her in the past, she felt stupid and was also angry at herself
"Master I deeply apologize, I was blinded by the danger I felt, I wasn't trying to make you angry, I just wanted to make sure you were safe, that's all! please forgive me!"
she said as she was sobbing
"It's alright I know you didn't have an ill motive Becka"
he said as he hugged her, Becka then started to break down, Tokkou then helped her get to her room, he place her on her bed because she had collapsed, Tokkou didn't know the reason but the truth is that she fainted because of mixed feelings, her body couldn't really process the huge amount of sadness, happiness and angriness at the same time, she felt bad for the things she had done but also felt really excited because she was holding the hand and was hugging her loved one, Tokkou then returned at Teras and tried to free him from the trap Becka placed him
"It's about time you came from me, it is not like I'm getting crushed by rocks or anything"
he said ironically
"Oh shut up, don't whine like a little child she was really sad, I couldn't really let her be could I?"
Tokkou then removed the rocks around Teras and helped him get to his room since Teras's leg was injured
"I heard everything, you called me a friend"
Tokkou said with a funny smug on his face
"Shut up, why did you even brought it up?"
he replied with a blush on his face
"Don't get me wrong, I can't remember the last time someone called me a friend, so I appreciate you for thinking of me like that"
Teras was surprised but he didn't say anything he just enjoyed the walk with Tokkou, then a thought hit him
"Can't you just fly me to my room?"
"I could but it wouldn't be any fun if I did this"
he said with a smile
"Teras don't worry about what happened today, I will have a talk with Becka tomorrow so when you wake up get yourself something to eat and come to the backyard again"
"Tokkou please don't punish her it really wasn't something serious"
Teras said anxiously, Tokkou blasted out laughing
"Haha, I won't hurt her or something! What kind of tyrant do you take me for? "
he said while laughing, this made Teras even more blushful, In the end, Teras got to his room and he lay down on his bed, he slowly fell asleep in this dark and quiet night
"What are you doing?"
said a shadowy figure
"You are wasting your time you have to find them, he will not wait for you, so quickly get back on your feet and don't stop! you should find them and put an end to this circle of hatred! Because only YOU can! don't ever forget that!"
Teras woke up, he was full of sweat he felt heavy, the whole world was moving around for him
"What was that?"
he asked himself out loud, indeed, what was that?

The night was about to fall, the stars had begun to show, a strong wind was blowing and Cromi was about to fall asleep inside his backpack of Teras, the 2 of them were traveling across a big forest with little to no idea of what's the environment is like, Teras was overly cautious about every sound he heard, the sound the leaves made, the sound of the branches hitting one another, he didn't leave anything unchecked, he was always using mana vision, so his mana was about to run out, he was feeling like he was being watched so he settled down as nothing happened, he took out his camping tent and started building it, about 4 minutes later he was done, he then placed his backpack and Cromi inside the tent and decided to scout out for danger. He searched around for a bit but he couldn't seem to see anything suspicious but he could feel something was off, annoyed he screamed "COME OUT I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!!!" There was no answer, it was like he was talking to a wall 'I have to stop and t

A new day began, the weather was lovely, the whole town was in a good mood that day, the guards arrested the criminals that Teras fought yesterday, they were well-known looters of the area, Teras woke up, he wasn't aware that the tall man was watching him all night, Cromi woke up too, she excitingly hopped around the room, she was thirsting to go outside, so did Teras so he quickly got ready and left the room, he then went back to the quest center, he once again asked the same young girl at the bar "What was I supposed to do again?" "You have to find a guard and tell him to guide you to the exam's location" he then thanked the girl and apologized for his forgetfulness and left the center, he then tried to find a local guard but couldn't, most of them had already taken a lot of other people to the exam, he then decided to go to his last resort, the entrance of the town, he quickly found a guard, unthankfully for him the guard was the same guard that he saw yesterday, the one that he

The sound of birds woke up the resident of both dorms, Teras had woken up before everyone, the reason was to take care of Cromi, he fed her and helped her sleep, he was in serious need of sleep, he tried to wake himself with an apple, it is said that an apple helps you wake up, he had gathered the apple from a tree near the dorms, slowly the guys approached Teras "You look horrible, did you not get any sleep tonight?" Har asked "Do I look that horrible? yeah, you guessed it, I didn't really sleep because I had to take care of my bunny" "You have a bunny? you never told us" Ronie commented "I forgot, it's not really important anyway, I will try to keep her in check so she doesn't annoy anyone in the dorm, I'm not trying to get in trouble" Teras responded "Your bunny was so quiet we didn't even notice that you carried one, so I don't think it will cause any problems" Har said "Guys sorry to interrupt your moment but we have to get going, I don't want to be late to our first les

Teras slowly walked to the field, he joined the class, he received a look from all the females students attending the class, in the other hand he had built up some respect among the boys, they thought his actions were brave 'dammit, just like that I became the center of attention when I least wanted it' Teras's reputation had completely been destroyed, he was labeled as a pervert, but he tried not to let these comments about him affect him "Let's start with some laps around the field so you can warm up your bodies" Recka told to the students, everyone ran in a group, after some laps, a lot of students had stopped, the heat was unbearable for them 'I thought most adventurers traveled this distance daily, but I guess we are still not adventurers yet' Teras thought, but still, he was shocked by the number of people that gave up early, the number of students was large, amongst those Cara had stopped too, Ronie seemed like he was about to give up at any moment too, it's not like Teras

After the battle Teras had with Recka he fainted, he had stressed his body, the mana overflow is something that shouldn't be used in combat or in any type of practice, mana overflow is a defense mechanism that the human body uses to increase the user's overall combat ability, it is normally used in a do or die situation against a monster, despite its great use at battle most people tend to avoid the usage of it, mostly for safety reasons, meaning what Teras did was very dull, his body was heavily damaged and his limbs were shattered in result "Quickly help me move him!!!" Recka told the others, they quickly came to help, all of Teras's friends were petrified they were shocked to the bone, it was their first time seeing someone getting this hurt over a fight, they just stood there watching Teras getting moved to Recka's building, her building was a basic house with a lot of equipment for fighting healing and much more, Recka dismissed the others and placed Teras on her bed, she then q

Teras said with a serious expression "What's the matter?" Lia asked "Someone here is dead, we have to find him" Teras said, the selection of Teras's words confused the group but they laugh it off "Pretty sure we are all alive buddy, I don't know about you though, you did break every bone in your body this kind of injury could kill somebody" Ronie said with an awkward smile, nobody seemed to take it seriously, Teras then left without saying anything, he was mad at their reaction 'HEY! Why does he know that you are here?!' Ronie asked the tall man, the 2 of them could speak telepathically now that Ronie possess

The man over the world
Nobody dared to move, Joker was standing pridefully while staring down at Orion, it was like a wild animal looking at its pray before devouring it, Teras could see a similar aura around the man like Tokkou's, maybe because he was a card possessor, or maybe because both he and Tokkou didn't have good intentions when they met Teras but one thing was for certain This man isn't going to let them live so Teras had to do something in order for everyone to escape "Why are you doing this? If you want to kill us then do it already!" Teras said as he lifted up his head "Why? There is no "why"! I just feel like doing this, are you going to do something about it?"

Teras then headed to the waterfall one last time to talk to Tokkou, once he arrived he hid behind a tree and watched Tokkou practice his powers, it's a rare occurrence to see a possessor of a high-rank card go all out, Tokkou was moving large trees and rocks around the place like nothing, he was gathering trees left and right and pressured all the trees and rocks together, he screamed "God's grip" the rocks and trees crashed into one another with a powerful force, and fragments of the rock flew out violently, one of the fragments scratched Teras on his cheek, but Teras didn't react, he was amused by the power Tokkou had, Tokkou then flew to the air, faced the opposite side where Teras was and yelled "God's push" a large number of trees and rocks flew away with force, and the whole place was destroyed but the trees around the waterfall remained fine, Tokkou then decided to relax on a remaining rock on the ground, Teras took advantage of his break and went to talk to him "Tokkou!! w

Jem mumbled to himself as he kept on knocking on the door, but even after those tries he got no response "TERAS SENT ME GOD DAMMIT! OPEN THIS DOOR IT'S IMPORTANT!" Jem screamed with all of his force and suddenly the door opened, a familiar red-haired lady opened the door "Did you say Teras?" Becka asked Jem with a surprised look "I need to talk to Tokkou!"
