Vermillion Of Exterminator

Magic Wand

Two years had passed since Flora's arrival, she was an excellent teacher. The lessons were very interesting and fun, thanks to which Cleon quickly mastered high-level attack magic. Not only that, now Cleon can also control his mana usage according to his needs. Now that Cleon has mastered all the basic elements, he can use them well. In addition, Cleon has also begun to learn to combine two elements to create bigger attacks.

However, in practicing the sword Cleon still hasn't gotten much progress, because his physique is still a child so he still has a lot to learn. Luckily his father was a swordsman who served as security in the village, almost every afternoon Cleon practiced swordsmanship with his father in the yard.

That night Flora was giving some theory to Cleon, she only explained a little about some of the origins of magic techniques.

“Back then this magic technique came from a tribe that was used to protect themselves from enemies. The skill of controlling the wind or the ground through communication with the fairies. Whereas the current magic is the form of the human tribe's imitation transformation during the long battle with the demon tribe."

"It turns out that magic also has a history, huh?"

"Of course."

"But really surprising, this world still has fairies and demon tribes, huh?"

“Of course, they still roam a lot in this world. The demon tribe is a terrible tribe, they are well known for their cruelty in mercilessly killing, lucky they live apart from the human tribe so that there is no more war between the two tribes. The world will be destroyed if the two tribes start a war. But there's a lot of rumors going around that some demon tribes are starting to enter the human tribe's territory, so we have to be careful.”

Hearing Flora's explanation made Cleon remember the task given by the Goddess, maybe a few years from now something scary will happen as Flora said that night. Cleon also remembered the prince who would succeed in killing the demon king and become the hero of this country.

“Are all demon tribes strong?” Cleon asked with a curious expression.

“The demon tribe is equipped with a very strong physique, coupled with magic it is a very perfect combination. They are immune to ordinary physical attacks and are also fast in regenerating so it is quite difficult to face the demon tribe.”

"Then how to beat them?"

“Of course you have to become stronger than the demon tribe, they are a tribe that is very arrogant towards innate strength, so many of them don't use their strength to the fullest and also don't experience any development in their strength. But there are still many high-ranking demon tribes.”

"I can't imagine what a high-ranking demon tribe is like."

"Yes, you just have to be able to become much stronger and continue to grow, all the talents you have now are very useful, and you also have above average abilities. I'm sure you will quickly surpass me."

Flora walked towards one corner of the cupboard in the corner of the room, she seemed to be taking something. Cleon just sat and watched Flora, then she turned around and held something in her hand. Cleon's eyes automatically fell on Flora's hand.

"This is a present for you," Flora said as she handed him something she had just taken.

“Wow!! What's this? A magic wand, amazing!” said Cleon very happily.

"It's natural for a master to give a wand after the student has mastered elementary magic, but since I came here you've been able to master basic magic yourself, so I forgot about that a bit."

"It's okay it's not a problem, this wand is so beautiful," said Cleon as he looked at his new wand.

“It's a magic stone that works to increase mana, so it will definitely be of great use to you.”

"I will take good care of it master!"

"At your age now that you can master four types of high-level attack magic, you can be proud of yourself," said Flora with a smile.

"No, this is all thanks to the teacher's good teaching!"

Hearing Cleon's words, Flora smiled sweetly and stroked Cleon's head gently.

“But at this rate, there's not much else I can teach you. Cleon, tomorrow we will have the graduation exam," said Flora with a heavy heart.

Hearing what Flora said took Cleon by surprise, he still couldn't believe it would be so soon to pass the graduation exam. Time passed so fast for him that he felt he wasn't ready for it, even he himself never imagined the graduation exam.

"Graduation?" Cleon asked quietly as he looked at Flora.

The next morning, Dante was seen preparing his horse, which he used to travel with, there, Cleon and his mother were seen. Flora did ask Dante to prepare a horse for her to travel with Cleon. Flora plans to take her graduation exam elsewhere in the wild village.

"Do you want to go out?" Cleon asked hesitantly.

"Right, we're going outside the village," Flora replied as she walked over to the horse.

"Can't the test be done at home?"

"Can not."

Emily gently stroked Cleon's shoulder to reassure her, she realized that Cleon was too afraid to go outside the village because Cleon had never done it himself. "It's okay, your child must be brave. You've gotten stronger now."

Cleon thought for a moment, he again recalled some of the past in his previous life. But now is a different life, he bears a big responsibility and also he has to grow stronger.

Flora was already on the horse, she was still waiting for Cleon who was still thinking. "Are you afraid of horses?"

Hearing Flora's question made Cleon feel ridiculed, he confidently stepped closer.

“To think that you also have a side that matches your age, well that's only natural,” said Flora with a mocking smile.

Cleon finally got on the horse because he was a little annoyed with Flora's words, he rode the same horse as Flora and Cleon was in front because he couldn't ride his own horse yet. Slowly they both started to leave the house, Dante and Emily stood waving to watch them both leave.

This was the first time Cleon left the house, along the way he was very happy to see the very beautiful scenery. Along the way many people were working their fields. With big smiles they all greeted Flora. This took Cleon by surprise as almost everyone they met greeted Flora and thanked her.

“Turns out that Flora has really blended into this village in a short amount of time, she's really great,” Cleon muttered to himself with a smile.
