South of the capital Flower Yard

South of the capital Flower Yard

Siz ran with a hold of letter in hand. He saw a lot of people in the flower yard. He felt he was late. In a Q-text paper, he wrote it before he went on a mission. and see you in two weeks.

At least 50 people of all ages and the least likely is around the age of fifteen Men, women, body size varies.

It is not difficult to see that they came to the same activity they wear short and long cloaks.

Many characters on book or cloaks, is show to know is magic

Some round-headed staff are holding magic books. The color of the book with its cover photo is something Siz really likes.

A radiant light, a book with strange characters, a magic ring that someone tried to create on their hands.

Dressing is different with the grade of the weapon, equipment, or even as an optional item, such as a magic necklace, a ring with magic power inside.

Ten people who watched it had a chance to qualify. The magic power in their hands was beautiful.

But the strangest thing is "Is this the mage look like?" One in ten say "I suspect he will be in the wrong activity"

"madman? used an iron pipe to become a mage" other said and others laughed out loud

"Brother, would you mind, come stay with us" The little girl was about eighteen say to Siz, she was wearing a light-yellow robe and smiled with friendly

"Q, why don't you tell me how to behave?" Siz conjure up a thought in mind. He feels embarrassed to be a highlight of oddity He doesn't have a cloak or robe or staff or rod or magic book or scroll of magic, he's wearing only a rookie adventurer's suit, dark brown shoes, black pants. A dark brown shirt full of traces of monster attacks

'he hasn't repaired the wearable'

"Brother, are you coming to be a mage? What your name?" She closed the magic book and kept it by her waist "my name is Loli, my magic power is Light"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you" A yellow-haired boy with unfriendly eyes, dressed in an old mage's uniform, dark yellow, a slightly dusty face "My magic born to protect you" he cast magic on his hand, black ball mix yellow and rude of round

"Don't be rude, Jell!" Loli said and frowned at Jell "Could you have manners?"

"I am future lovers of Loli" When he finished speaking, he wrinkled his face "I warn you, don't be dare love her"

"My name Siz" He said and try to handle steel pipe like a wand "nice to meet you, Loli"

"I'm going to protect you until my last breath" Jell falls off the rocks because he tries to stand one leg to show Siz his strength, but misses it, making many people laugh with fun.

During that moment, Siz had a sense of energy on the other side of the rock. 'Big Rock have something'

It's a packed energy. Everything looks slow, but in a sense, Siz is faster than the light.

'butterfly, like an invisible butterfly flying in a flower'

Two officers on the land number five, dressed in white robes, appeared on big rock

The shouts came from the crowd, "Sorcerer here"

Then, butterfly-like breeze stopped moving its wings and revealed a man dressed in a dark green cloak, wide-brimmed conical hat with an emerald green as magic staff.

"Let's me introduce myself. My name is Bish one of sorcerer at land number five" He let the wind paper float in the air "Every year there will be a fifth level Mage. To recruit new or old adventurers Who are interested in becoming a mage and of course this year I will be the primary judge. Finally, using magic. That doesn't mean you're a mage"

"Sorcerer is level five of mage" a girl wearing a purple mage hat said

Everyone started signing up to write a name on the egg-colored paper on the table. There's a clear number, number five, two white cloak officers.

It then sends it to test the basic magic, which requires a spell that can be cast to make Bish a referee.

A man wearing a blue floral mage hat handed over a black staff and began unleashing his magic. Water droplets form a blue aura around the staff. Light blue begins to emit a small light, water forming in the air.

The next one. Dark red hardcover magic book like Ruby, when the paper opens. The words move according to his stance. Flames flooded on a sheet of paper before burning the tree.

"nice" Bish flicks the hands, creates water to immediately extinguish the fire on the tree.

"still, I have more" He spoke and opened the next page. The flame swirls in the air, turns into a bird, and suddenly becomes three flame feathers.

Bish creates water balls. To receive a fire feather attack and speak "enough, next"

Little girl She wore a gray veil mixed with a light blue bear paw pattern Her expression is cheerful and bright. Create a little ice bear. Hit a broken stone in the blink of an eye. She got a lot of applause from others.

The next one holds just a scroll of magic paper. He tried to cast a spell, but it didn't work, so he was eliminated.

Causing many others who use only magic paper scrolls fear but it's not that you can't. Because someone can

On paper has an element of magic and simple scroll. Thus, allowing some people to cast a little spell Even if it's just a small flame or a rock, even a mud, even wind

"If you're training, it's going to be a long way" Bish said. "This year, the magic power so interesting. A lot as well, alright, next"

What happened, Siz, was not sure. He saw Jell cast a spell, but Bish stopped it and suspended the test for a while. He's consulting with two other officers. Like they asked to see Jell's back wound.

"My magic is too cool, not that I'm not passing, but I have to wait for the call back" Jell tries to speak loudly "Don't worry Loli, I am fine" But his stance seems to be disappointing.

Next is Loli, and the last one is Siz.

Loli opens a paperback magic book. The golden-yellow letters float in the air, Bish shimmering with attention, the light around her, gleaming. Born a little fairy shine bright

The little fairy releases warm pollen spread out all over the area.

"I love her magic," says someone who behalf sleep and relaxed, just like everyone else "my body feel fresh"

"me too" others said "and me too"

Siz feels that his wounds, attacked by monsters, are gradually weakened, like he's being treated for pain.

"Enough. She's using too much magic," Bish said, seeing Loli weaken.

"Don't use it on anyone else, it's just me" Jell speaks with resentment and not too much anger "Keep the magic power to heal only me"

"You two, Loli and Jell, today I'm not going to take you with me, have to wait until the sorcerer of light and dark come back at land number five, then I would contact to you" Bish speaks with a little concern, they exchanged touches of little blue birds "alright, last one, next"

Siz walked in. His stance seems a little nervous. He tried to catch the steel pipe. Like a mage....

Suddenly, Bish creates a sound in the wind, "How did you see me before anyone else?" but Siz begins to see the little turtle moving with the wind on a big green mage's hat.

"I'm just feel, sir" Siz was nervous "everybody sees you"

"Show your ture!" Bish casting a small fireball. Everyone was shocked, sounded and backed off, just like Siz.

Siz is confused about what his did wrong. The fireballs coming in front him, in that moment, Siz grabbed the steel pipe, thrashing the fireball away. The second one followed.

Bish casting a small breeze spell, holding Siz's leg to keep him from moving, and red magic ring spell three fireballs

A white-robed mage approached Bish "Sir…"

"I just wanna know some" Bish quickly replied

"What am I doing wrong" Siz was stunned "But, basics of adventurers have to protect themselves as much as possible"

He's trying to use steel pipes. Hit the wind like a tree root. its strangled both of his legs. He sees magic as beautiful, but he doesn't have time to appreciate it.

A small stone dash on the air, He used a steel pipe to smash into rubble to the ground.

And all of a sudden, the three fireballs came close. He's thinking crazy in his head, so he's using steel pipes. Set parallel to the ground, let the fireball flow in and return the steel pipe to release the fireball.

'What the hot!'

And the roots of the wind fell off, Siz crept in, attacking Bish 'miss' at the end of the steel pipe just paw little bit at Bish's cloak.

"I don't know what you want" Siz holds a tight steel pipe "I've to protect myself, sir"

"show up who you are?" Bish flicks the wrist "true power come out!"

"I don't have magic power!!" Siz could feel the power of wind magic. But he was unable to avoid it. It's like an invisible ball. Slamming into his body, 'Oof!' And another one 'Oof!'

Bish moves with speed. Get Siz's body not to hit the ground "you don't have a magic, I'm really sorry" White robed mage Immediately came to Siz and use the healing magic "once, an adventurer who had sense high magic power. While still being rookie, after that, I realized that it was a monster in conceal"

"I am monster?" Siz was confused, except for another mage, they talked like they knew what had happened before

"no, you are not" Bish speaks in a simple tone "Let's see you here tomorrow"

"Congratulations, piper be Mage" The adventurer wears an orange mage's hat with a white rabbit motif.

"Rookie?" An adventurer holds a blue magic wand. The facial expressions are not very pleasant.

"All right, everybody who's qualified today, tomorrow nine for first mission, a first-class mage" The white-robe mage speaks "And it doesn't mean that you can be a mage. If you haven't completed the mission, please, time"

"It's not about the magic rod or the robe or these crazy magic books, isn't it?" The adventurer did not qualify screaming in anger

"you don't pass, doesn't mean you can't be a mage" Loli speaks softly "maybe, next time"

"next time, ridiculous me?" The man seemed to be angry with Bish and Loli, so he pulled out an axe under the robe. Prepare to attack Loli.

Jell moves with speed. Punch the yellow fist, covered with dark yellow magic. Shattered the axe, Loli pulled Jell out, many began to retreat.

"You can't spell it out. Even if there's an expensive scroll of magic paper" she said, her wearing purple robe and brown rod "New season are not too late"

But it's like the man won't listen. He let the magic book fall on the floor and used his feet to tread with fury. Try to break the wand "cloak stupid!" he drops it on the ground and spits it

Everyone in the area was shocked by what had happened. And the green breeze blows

"How dare you not see the value of these sacred things?" He jumped in and used the man's neck handle, but it had to be stopped when city officials were walking in.

"Mr. Bish," an officer holding a spear and a red notebook, walked in. "what's going on?"

"No, just…" Bish took a breath and let go of "See you tomorrow" He released his hand and suppressed his anger

While everything's calmed down, some adventurers come in and say "All good stuff"

Siz wants to go in and collect some. He doesn't like to see anything like this, a magic book he doesn't know about, which is going to be expensive. But why doesn't he see the value of it?

"Mr. Bish is too harsh," Loli casts a light orange magic, healing Siz's skin.

"Oh, that's not a wound from Mr. Bish," Siz embarrassed "the wooden demon" and he smile little bit, feeling inside so warm

"No, No, Loli, only me" Jell tries to be rude.

"and thank for protect me, Jell" Loli turns to Jell with a kind smile

"stand one" Jell feels proud and standing upright. He expressed 'extraordinary confidence' "for sure, and You don't have to heal me, That's the weak wound. People like me are stronger than him"

"Thank you," Siz said as he accidentally saw the wound on Jell's back, it was like a yellow wound. But he didn't look clear "see you tomorrow"

"We haven't passed yet. Brother got it wrong" Loli smiled slightly

"You intend to insult the two of us?" said Jell, raising a punch in the back of Loli, preparing to punch Siz at any time "are you bully her?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean like that" Siz sighed "bye, Loli"

"bye, brother Siz" Loli Wave goodbye

The next day, Siz woke up late. Silly face fatigue all over. Yesterday evening before going back to the room Go to attack at least 10 bunny's fighters hoping to get a good item, but unfortunately don't get anything.

The wind is packed. I'm floating in the air and coming in now. Siz Steel Pipe Handle Prepare to strike at that magic. 'Ouch!!' 'Ouch!!' The third wind ball is approaching. He can feel it, but he can't do anything.

"you're late" Bish speaks and appears on the big rocks.

"sorry, sir" Siz gets the white potion from Bish and squeezes immediately. helping to make the pain go away "Why do I have to keep testing?"

"Everyone who qualified through the final was hit by everyone" Bish jumped down "But they erased my magic" Bish searched for something in his bag "You can't cast a basic spell. Am I right?"

"yes, Mr. Bish" Siz accepts reality. He knows he can't cast any magic powers. Even if he secretly casting a secret spell in his bedroom "And I haven't qualified yet, right?"

"absolutely yes" Bish responds confidently and puts a small bottle back in the bag. There is water in the bottle and there is a ship inside.

Siz was interested in everything of Bish, emerald magic staff completely black handle a golden ring surrounds the handle, a magic book with green wind magic. Floating inside the sheet the cover has his name on it. And the shine green wind of the book So beautiful

"got it" Bish opens a large magic paper scroll, "you have magic powers, but you don't have the money to go to basic mage or buy scroll magic" Siz was a little stunned. he didn't think him would speak like this "Put your hand out, feel the magic on the scroll of magic"

Siz saw the magic ring. Spinning on that piece of paper the magic ring is different in color. Which of course he did not know what it was and he slowly move hand to touch

"down a bit, that's not a basic magic" Bish holds the paper tight "see, the magic ring does not spin"

When Siz slid his hand down, his fingers started moving, like he was feeling the heat. The flame begins to move into his skin.

"Fire?" Bish mumbled, the magic goes back to the sheet of paper again "Wind?" Bish feeling good but the magic of green come back to paper "no, no don't come back" and then "Earth?" Siz's fingers are rock solid

Finally, only one drop of water flows through Siz's skin and goes back as well

"nothing, come to me" Siz feels sad. "why? Why? I don't deserve to be a mage?"

"Calm down" Bish experiments with a simple spell on the palm of his hand for Siz as an example: "Magic has chosen you, so otherwise the magic ring in the paper won't go away, all right, follow me" Bish, move his fingers. There are fireballs, water balls, earth balls and wind balls larger than other balls "But don't know what element"

Siz closes his eyes and follows. He moved his finger, like he was pushing and tracking his breath, as Bish said, but it didn't work out many times, but nothing changed

"Think of the power of your mind, take it easy, and let it out. For the first time, it eats quite a lot of magic point Don't worry, I have a free Blue potion" Bish said with comfort "power inside your soul"

Siz opened his eyes and closed his eyes. But nothing has changed

And suddenly a feeling of tightness that was hard to describe Flame-like heat It's burning in his heart. He thought that he had obtained fire attribute magic power

Actually not

The wind begins to form. The intensity of the wind makes him open his eyes, but in his heart, he is burning like a fire, he thinks of a painful past, in a false belief. The pain that Siz's father was cheated on for money, choosing a job that he doesn't like, and he angry that he wasted time carrying the world long time

"Enough first" Bish holds the cloak because the wind is getting worse "enough, stop it"

Even his life now Still cannot survive He became even more angry the wind is intensifying, blowing the leaves. logs roll along the wind, branches float in the air. A large rock begins to move. torn Flowers

"Stop!" Bish Yelled

Siz tried to stop it, but it was too late. A large gust of wind has occurred. trees torn from the soil combine into the wind. He can't stand, as if the wind was sucking him in "Help me, Mr. Bish."

Bish used an emerald staff to stab on the ground, creating a dark green magic. Like a tortoiseshell It can be covered and protected, but Siz needs to hold his staff tightly with both hands.

Staff is so strong, but Siz is too weak to handle. With the powerful storm magic power now, his body Float like a flag

Bish opens the magic book. The green light appeared as both the green stone on the staff and his magic book. In the magic book, there was an animation of wind magic. He immediately built a storm. And twist the arms to make the storm reversed

After a while, the storm stopped.

Siz fell, with the storm stopping, tree debris and soil. fall to the ground slowly. He was unconscious almost hours and woke up to see that Mr. Bish was sitting

"Too dangerous," Bish squeezed a white potion. Release the aerosol all over Siz's body and continue to say "The power is out of control. The bad thing is, it's going to destroy itself"

"I am apologizing, sir" Siz, get up, sit. He's afraid of thinking about the past "I don't deserve to use magic, am I?"

"That's not good magic power, if it's magic power it's probably not beautiful magic power" Bish said "Do you like it?"

"no, sir" Siz shook his head "I guess it was the anger in me"

"call me Bish, take it easy, let's me think" Bish stood up, kept the magic book by the waist. And pull the staff out of the soil "It could be anger" Bish said as he watched Siz use his hands to collect torn flower fragments "once, Grand master taught me that if we use anger to destroy rocks, will break up, if we use anger, carve something, we will get a something, but importantly, if we are not angry and can use some creative power, we will get a beautiful magic, We're mage"

What Bish said made Siz aware of his inner emotions, of course, he didn't like the storm force. It was not the wind power he liked, not at all, because he saw Bish's wind magic power. It was wonderful, emerald green.

"I don't understand at all. But I want to be a mage" Siz spoke politely to himself. And suddenly a lot drops of water formed on his skin and when he opened his hand as water circulated in the air in his hand "The Blue Magic Ring is so lovely"

"Even though it's still small" Bish smiled with joy. And chuckled with Siz, "I secretly wish you had wind elemental magic. But get the water element, it's okay, congratulations Siz"

can't say that Siz has a big mouth smile. Can almost see everything in the oral cavity or the corner of the mouth almost to the ears

"Emotions are uncertain. So, you should be conscious" Bish squeezed the blue potion, the blue water sprinkled all over Siz "Let's try magic, build it into shape and try to let go of the stone"

Siz noded and tried to create water to be lumpy, but it couldn't be expanded. He let go of his water magic, hit into the rocks lightly.

"Build strong magic power and measure attack range by your eye's or feeling, let out just by twisting your hand or use your fingers That's right" Bish showed it as an example. In a flash, a small round water magic. Going straight forward, made log a hole "Sorry, habit put wind in"

Siz tries to understand as far as he touches, Bish is probably extremely strong in wind magic, sorerer of wind.

Small blue bird wears a small green mage hat. and a very tiny green scarf was flying over to deliver a letter to Bish, he opened and read it immediately.

Siz continues to repeat several times, and it keeps getting better, but his magic point has also been reduced.

"Don't forget to keep practicing" Bish kept the letter and prepared to leave "See you on the day when your magic power is better"

"I'm really grateful, Mr. Bish" Siz said with smiled and then Bish Farewell by the wind, the waves of green air slowly faded.

After that, with every morning awakening, Siz continued to practice magic, the routine awakened to biting a big brown loaf of bread. Two packages of grilled pork

His favorite place to go is in the small woods of the north-east, where there's a monster type of bee, and he likes to live with the moment of other adventurers fighting, he sneaking to collect honey in the small bottle

And of course, bees aren't willing to give sweet honey to adventurers.

A pointed poison needle pierces the middle of Siz's body 'Ouch!' monster bee they are almost a meter in size. Yellow and black alternating, red eyes, black legs like a javelin

Siz prepares to fight. He used the steel pipe as a weapon, slashed the bee's torso, and then moved quickly. 'Oof' His pointed legs attacked him.

"Hello bee" Siz greets them before the attack begins. He was injured so many times that he remembered when he was supposed to dodge the poison needle and the small green herb beside the creek. It can help relieve pain.

Siz's mouth moves along with chewing the small green herb "Not yummy" and then strike the steel pipe to the bee monster 'Hit' shattered into crystals.

More than thirty bee demons were eradicated and poison needles, insect tentacles, honey bottle. It's reasonably priced. Give Siz enough money to buy food and potions.

During the day, he's napping, that moment like a kind of monster. They have a green body with black polka dots, moved by shortening and loosening. move on the ground. Using a sharp tooth to bite Siz's body.

Makes him almost die when he sees only 10,9,8,7,6,5 health points left…

The right hand grabs the steel pipe with panic, breaks the green worm demon up in the sky and slams into the full force of 'Hit!!' shattering into crystals.

'Hit!' another green worm 'Hit!'

"Didn't you think to give anything? to me? some item? please" Siz Squeeze the three-red potion "eleven without item!"

While he was breathing, He had no idea that on the tree something was moving. They slowly popped out a long-pointed poison needle. The torso is purple and black. The sound of flying insect wings is getting more and more frequent.

"what going on?" Siz step back and holds the steel pipe tightly. He started seeing a big purple bee, almost two meters in size "I've never seen it before, so hopefully something good for me"

The poison needle fired more than five at speed. 'Chup!!!!!'

Siz immediately pulls the small green herb into his mouth and chews, but it doesn't work "What?" when the poison needle starts to numb, causing the left arm not working

"I can't be careless" He cast a blue magic ring on his hand, light blue water coated on a steel pipe. He rarely wants to use it because blue potion is expensive. "Disappear!"

The steel pipes were thrown away with the water waves He ran away from the poison needle before turning around. Hit it again, 'Hit!' Is a good time. Water coated steel pipe Thrashed it all over it and the idea of ​​using magic suddenly arose.

"Water magic, Needle style" Siz stood with confidence. The blue ring on the hand crank It is just as he thought. The water flow formed three sharp needles, and he twisted his hand to attack "Water Needle!"

With full pride with what happened It wasn't what it looked like, as if the water needle just poked the demon skin.

'Just Poke, why my magic power so weak?'

'Ouch!!!!!' Massive assault Along with flying frequently with sharp wings Claws scratched Siz's chest, hitting Siz's face with his head and a silver poison needle. Spiral in the air Prepare to kill Siz 'Ouch!'. He fell. Feeling completely numb

'No' He knows that if he gets hit by one more, He could be shattered.

Before Siz couldn't move What, he saw was A woman's fight, she shoots arrow by bow into the middle of the bee's torso. And jump up to kick it Shattered into crystals

Then she disappeared and came back.

"Not dead yet?" She said and collect dark purple a little wing

Siz slowly moved, he sat up. And looked at that girl, she was wearing dark orange shorts There is a knife holster on the leg side. Dark brown boots Black shirt crop top and a dark orange veil covering the shoulders to the waist

"take it" She opened the backpack. Send Siz a dark green herbal juice to drink "by the way, not poison"

Siz felt parched and tried to swallow his saliva. He then opened a water bottle to drink before drinking, he sniffed and pretended to drink. To see the manner of that girl

"Poison" Siz pretends to be struggling to see her behavior, but looks like she's looking with a cold eye "poison bottle"

"Poison is rarer than herbs. I won't let you eat" She speaks in a cool tone "I'm surprised why you're alive, I usually see a regular adventurer shattered and come back the next day or don't come"

"I'am Siz, I don't deserve to die Because still haven't eaten a lot of chocolate ice cream while playing the game" And he was ashamed of joking and not laughing 'baka Siz' He is nervous

"Ah, Siz, look fine, well" She sighs and was not funny "Why did the adventurers say the word of game? What is the game" And she took off a hat made of leaves It is round Cover her head Her long hair was light orange? It seems like some of the lines are purple that Siz accidentally saw "whatever, Is its hot today?"

"Yes" Siz is fascinated by her image. Of course, she's a charming person and personality, age nearly Siz. A light purple her eye, that makes the more interested in her "So hot" Siz likes to look into her eyes. And staring non-stop So he turned away and looked at the clouds to avoid

He doesn't know what to say. After playing a joke that wasn't funny, but he feels a little good that she doesn't pay much attention to jokes, and Siz still looks at her. Use a black charcoal stick, scraping it on a piece of paper, similar to a map. The monster shape is painted with someone's handiwork.

'What is she hunting?'

'rare item?'

'what's your name' "hunting?" Siz was nervous

"iron needle, do you have?" she asked but Siz shook his head "Purple skin of solider bee, do you have?" again "big white fang boar, forget it, I shouldn't have asked you" she stood up and prepare to leave

"what's your name" Siz also stood up "a…and where you go?"

"Also, I'll have to hunt all four of the monster bosses, before go to red zone" She carried a quiver inside have an arrow. And turned to speak to Siz, "go to Sunflower village first and then get to know me. bye"

'Red zone?' again?

And she gone

"red zone?" Siz mumbled and "Sunflower village? But where is it?" He felt uncomfortably uncomfortable, why them were going to the red zone, what is it? But he didn't have much time to worry. Because the atmosphere started to get dark and dark, the potion was empty, and better to go back to town.

During a week that has passed He hardly met Q. Siz continued to fight monsters on a daily basis. he got some items that been selling, making get some money but what's sadder is He was obsessed with thinking about life in this world and the outside. Which it is like to contradict and confused until

'knock!' 'knock!' The door knock was ringing.
