Ch-1

[8 years later in the same cabin]

Felix: "Dad are these the ones you told me to bring"

Leo: "Yeah son, now we can make the rabbit roast that you keep asking for

[Leo makes a few confused expressions and says]

Leo: "Son, you are old enough to know this"

Felix: "Is it how babies are made"

Leo: "No"

Felix: "Is it what are stars"

Leo: "No"

Felix: "Is it "

Leo: "I am going to die soon"

Felix: "What do you mean"

Leo: "Son I am going to be gone like your mother"

Felix: " No, you can't"

Leo: "Son there is nothing I can do about this"

[Felix starts crying]

Leo: "Son stop crying"

[Felix stops crying and says]

Felix: "How long are you going to live"

Leo: "For a few months"

Felix: "Can't we do anything about it"

Leo: "Son, I am going to train you to become the strongest out there and you will understand later why did I do this"

Felix: "Okay then I will do what you tell me without questions and what will you be teaching me"

Leo: " Do what I do best"

Felix: "Uhh, making rabbit stew"

Leo: "Son, you don't know me in my glory days"

[Leo closes his eyes for 2 seconds and a sword appears]

Felix: "What is that"

Leo: "Oh, this baby was made from core metals"

Felix: "No no no, not that, where did you get it from"

Leo: "Oh I forgot I never showed this to you, it is an uncommon skill"

Felix: "But I thought no one knew spatial magic for a few centuries"

Leo: "Well, yes but there is no well-defined line between spatial and weapon storage skill, and son, I am a warrior, not a mage or alchemist to know this"

Leo: "Where are mother's old books"

Felix: "They are in that cupboard"

Leo: "They are all in demon tongue"

[Felix goes over to the cupboard, opens it, and starts reading the titles]

Felix: "Magic control, summoning technique uhh, I'll read this later"

Leo: "How can you read demon tongue"

Felix: "Aha spatial theory, dad where do you think is a good spot to read that book"

Leo: "Son it's not the way to read when you have magic, you can learn to memorize magic and uncommon analysis"

Felix: "Then I'll wait"

[Leo shows all his other skills which left him dumbstruck]

Felix: "What!!! are you going to teach me all of those skills"

Leo: "Yes, hopefully before I die"

Felix: "Am I capable of doing those skills"

Leo: "You are my son, and the reason I am able to do this is because my body is way more sensitive and more resistant, for example, I can hear a bird a few miles away and I once took a sonic wave right next to my ear without a lot of pain"

Felix: "That seems nice but there are probably some issues right?"

Leo: "How the utter lack of the ability to use magic"

Felix: "What !"

Leo: "I know right that was one of the main reasons that I trained under master Gale but don't worry you probably won't have those kinds of problems because of your mother's mastery of magic"

Felix: "So she knew spatial magic"

Leo: "No"

Felix: "How is that mastery then"

Leo: "Mana is like a stick for her, when she was one year old she was able to cast mid-level spells"

Felix: "Damn looks like her affinity could neutralize your lack of mana control"

Leo: "Yeah, it's getting late anyway so let's have dinner, vegetable stew"

[When they are eating Felix says]

Felix: "Dad, I remember you telling me that people from the H+ level can do these skills"

Leo: "Son, you don't have to worry about that it's not like those rankings are accurate, they are set by the narrow-minded standards of the guild and nobody can prevent you from learning these"

[They finish their dinner and the next morning]

Leo: "Son starts your training by finding the materials you need for your weapons"

Felix: "That seems hard"

Leo: "Get 50 Kg of iron, 1 log of ironwood, and 1 spider string"

Felix: "50! where will get that much iron from"

Leo: "Just go get it"

Felix: "No, I can't do it"

Leo: "You said no questions"

Felix: "That was not a question, I just can't do it"

Leo: "I can't win an argument against you so just go"

[Felix leaves mumbling and finds an ironwood tree and a burrow filled with spiders]

Leo: "I found these two but where is the iron"

[A piece of metal from Felix's pocket gets stuck to a rock]

Felix: "What the hell, father told me not to lose this"

[Felix tries to pull it out]

Felix: "Uhh, I can't pull it"

Felix: I guess I gotta drag it all the way but I can barely lift this rock

[Felix is now at a river bank, rolls it down, and starts dragging it]

Felix: Why is this rock getting heavier?

[Felix doesn't see the red sand gathering at the bottom of the rock and after taking it out of the river says]

Felix: "The hell is this red sand"

[Felix drags it to his house and Leo comes out]

Leo: "You gave up so soon"

Felix: "No, but that metal thing you gave me got stuck to this rock along with this red sand"

Leo: "You mean this"

[Leo pulls that object out and says]

Leo: "This is the reason I was able to track your mother into the demon world and fall in love with her"

Felix: "This junk has that big of a significance"

[After 1 minute]

Leo: "Hah, this is the first time I viewed it as junk, you keep it with you, and by the way that red sand has iron"

Felix: "Are you serious"

Leo: "Yeah"

Felix: "So how do I get the iron out"

Leo: "You melt it, yourself"

Felix: "No wood or coal burns that hot to melt iron"

Leo: "Did you forget magic"

Felix: "But I don't know how to make fire and it is hopeless I don't even know how mana feels"

Leo: "Look even though I don't know how to do spells but I do know how to make fire"

Felix: "Wait, so I just have to think of fir and push the mana into my hands"

Leo: "Simple as that and I recommend you to hold some in your hand and focus on it while cutting ironwood"

Felix: "Thank you, for the advice and my head is pulsing like with lead in my veins"

[ Felix goes back to sleep and wakes up 2 days later]

Felix: "I feel like I can punch through an ironwood tree"

Leo: "Good because you slept for 2 days"

Felix: " 2 days??"

Leo: "Yes and surely you can go and punch through as you said"

Felix: "Ah, about that"

Leo: "No ah's and but only I'm ready"

Felix: "I'm ready?"

Leo: "That's the spirit, take this sand"

[Felix takes it and heads out to the ironwood he found it and started to punch it ]

Felix: huh, I expected some pain but I guess I am punching it slowly and this won't work. I'll just

Start punching harder than ever before

[Felix starts punching it harder at his maximum strength and endures the pain]

Felix: "I gotta keep doing it for father and I already feel stronger after rolling the boulder so I should be able to strengthen my hands doing this and I can't stop it because it won't be enough"

[Felix does it with increased pace and power and is forcing his mind to focus on destroying the tree]

Felix: I must do this as quickly as possible and return to father

[Felix loses his memory and when he wakes up he sees the tree in splinters]

Felix: What the hell happened, the tree is in splinters, and the intact log is not long enough for a bow

[Felix goes back home and shows it to Leo]

Felix: "Look what I did"

Leo: "Oh my god, I never expected you to punch it down like that and these burns seem to be caused by fire, son you unlocked fire"

Felix: "Really?"

Leo: "Yeah, but you gotta train to use it at will and it's getting late how about dinner now"
