Little lie

Seconds before Chron's collapsing.

Chron: [ "Concentrate on one point, take all mana that surrounds you, imagine lightning bolt, be a lightning yourself, merge with it, let it control you and by doing so take advantage of it and make it obey your thoughts. " ]

"Lightning bol...t."

Magic attack created by him hitted the target pointed by old man.

Old man: "He... He did that? In his first try? He fused chantless magic and magic with chants? How is that even possible? Ahhahahahha... It seems that it is worthy my time in the end."

Chron slept for an hour due to lack of mana.

C: "Huh? Where am I?"

O: "You dumbass! You used all of your mana and got mana sickness. What will I do with you? Anyway, you were very close to hit but you failed. But don't worry, I will give you one more chance. Now you need to pierce throught one tree and then hit another one. Simple, isn't it?"

C: "Ah... give me a break... I just woke up, I don't have energy for anything. By the way, did my shor really missed? I remember that it hit perfectly."

O: "That must be your imagination. You are indeed skilled but you aren't a prodigy, well, for now. With enought training with me and other you will be strong, very strong, maybe the strongest in the future."

C: "Someone with 'fate of death' as the strongest? HAHAHA. I'M EXCITED! I want to see if i can become like that.

Old man, I want you to teach me everything that you know, I want to become stronger."

O: "It will be a hellish training. If you accept it now, you can't go back with your words in the future. If you can get it till the end, you will definitelly survive and be strong, but the amount of hard work and pain that goes with it is different matter.

So? What is your answer?"

C: "I will accept. I want to survive, I want to break my fate and replace it with another one."

O: "Hohoho, that's the spirit."
