Dependence or Trust

"Ahh, a tiring day it is."

Nare jump to his bed and close his eye.

I've been wondering if this world is not destroyed 300 years ago. Will people in this world happy? I mean they do have power too but not everyone, maybe that's the problem?

My uncle ever told me that world 300 years ago is a hell. That's why there's lots of them wants to destroy the earth and make the new earth. I don't know why they can get the power or why do they use the power to do something bad. But right now everyone in this world, not only human but every living things in this world have a magical powers.

For me, i feel that if this world doesn't have magical power they can live like a normal person. But if they have the magical power, they will live in a dangerous world. That's why we need to get stronger so we can survive in this cruel world.

Right now i can't really say that i'm strong enough to protect anyone. I can only use fire and water magic. I know that there are many of them who can only use one magic, but if they can make good use of their flaws, then they can be more powerful than me.

I'm not sad that i'm still weak after years of training. At least those years were fun. The first time we having fun is when i asked Kire to go out with me. When we were 6 years old, our parents were rarely at home. They always work work and work. So Kire and I were going to the forest to play.

One day we met two new people, their name is Shone and Gina. And it turns out they are also lonely. Since that day, we always play and train our magic together. Spend time after time, day after day, year after year until now. I really can't say much about them. They're just my best friend.

"It's been a long time huh."

Nare closes his eyes.

Morning again, a time that we cannot escape from it. We always have a morning, every day. It's the time to wake up and going to hunt again.

Nare got up from his bed and walked out of the room.

"Morning Kire." a word that I say every day, and now it's become my habit.

"Morning brother." Kire takes the milk out of the fridge. "You want?"

"Yeah, 1 liter for me."

"And i will punch you in the face."

"And nevermind then."

Kire poured milk into a glass.

"Ah for today, let's go hunt a lizard."

"Why so sudden brother?"

"We are strong enough right? Let's go find another strong opponent. Besides lizard skin is pretty expensive you know?"

"Okay okay, but only 3 for today."

"Deal!"

After breakfast, Nare and Kire go to the forest and start their daily hunt. This time they go deeper in the forest to hunt lizard. Lizard skin price is 1 gold per 100 gram. So it's pretty worth it if the hunter is strong, but lizard is pretty dangerous to hunt. Because lizard can use poison and water magic.

Nare knew that he can defeat the lizard easily using his new trick, even though he never use it before. He only imagined how he would do it and was sure it would work.

"Here we are Kire, the Lizard's Den. The place we never came before."

"You sure right? I mean you might still tired from yesterday."

"Nah, besides if i get injured, we can go to hut today. And i will use the new trick."

"Don't do anything fool like last month okay?"

"It's fine it's fine, not a dangerous one like before, calm down."

"Oh really?" Kire looked at Nare with a feeling of doubt.

She began to recall the events of one month ago. It's an embarrassing moment for her to remember. Nare tries to learn wind magic from Leo, but then he accidentally lifted Kire's skirt and since then Kire has never used a skirt again.

"Well don't remember what's already passed Kire, you need to grow up already."

"I don't want to hear that sentence from you. The cool thing about that word disappears because you say that."

"That's hurt."

Nare sees a lizard and immediately ambushes it. He uses water magic to make him walk on water. And then he called his sword Eradicator and stabbed the lizard and slit it down.

"Eh you're pretty good brother. Is that your new trick?"

"Nope, i didn't even use magic to attack yet."

"Alright let's split up and meet here again after you kill 3 lizard."

"Okay."

They go their separate ways, Nare goes deeper into the forest and Kire goes to the eastern forest.

After a few minutes they separated, Nare finally found the lizard's hideout. He saw three lizards guarding the entrance. He knew that if he failed to kill one of them in one skill, there would be reinforcements coming. He wants to avoid that happening.

I know that i've never used this trick, but it's worth trying. Let's do this.

He took a breath and used the fire to heat the water in the lake near the entrance. After he heated up the water, he control the hot water to shot the lizards from their back.

After the lizards got distracted, Nare jump to them and slash them with his Eradicator and kill them all easily.

I've never distract my enemy in a fight, but this first try is pretty good. I got three lizard and i don't know how much skin i can get today. I think this three is enough for now. I don't want to fight lizard face to face, it's really troublesome. They can move really fast if there's water. And this place has a lake, that will be a big problem. So right now i need to get back.

He take the lizards skin as much as he can. After he finish cutting the lizard skin, Nare leave the place and go back to the meeting place.

When he arrived at the meeting place, he had not seen Kire. He thought he might come too soon. But after he waited a few more minutes, he felt uneasy. He think that Kire's probably in trouble, so he ran to the eastern forest.

He heard many explosions coming from the front. After hearing the explosion, he was relieved. He know that is Kire's magic, Explosive Fire.

"She's pretty scary when she is alone huh."

After knowing that her sister will be fine, Nare comeback to the meeting spot.

Maybe she'll be a great mage one day, maybe S rank or even better. But i will be better than her. I will get SS rank or even SSS rank and i will get my persona.

"This is nothing!"

Kire shoot a Fireball to the lizardman.

"I'm not gonna die that easily!" the lizard block the fireball with his Water Blast.

"Just die already! Hyaaa!" Kire swung his sword at the lizardman at a speed so high that the lizard could not even dodge.

If i can't defeat him with combo attack, i will defeat him with one full power ******, Tornado ******. Luckily i learn this skill from Leo, thank you very much.

"Aarghh. You, you can't." before even the lizardman finished talking Kire uses her Explosive Fire.

"Die!"

Finally it's over. Looks like i'm not lucky today, i only found one lizardman but he can talk and he is stronger than other lizardman i've ever met. Well now i'm just gonna take his skin.

Kire cuts lizardman's skin with her sword. "Yosh, i think it will be expensive."

Ah, i wonder how brother do. Yeah, i think he will be fine. He is stronger than me, but Leo is stronger than him. But brother don't worry, one day you can defeat him.
