A Wish

"Yow, what took you so long, Kire."

"Sorry brother, but this skin is pretty heavy. Can you help me?"

"Don't joke, i already bring three lizard skin. I can't help you with that."

"Alright alright, let's go back to the village and sell the skin."

They both returned to the village after hunting. Nare got three large lizard skin and Kire got one lizardman skin.

Well i don't expect that Kire can kill lizardman alone. I know she can use explosive magic, but if she uses it, she can also destroy lizardman's skin. But he used it with little power and blew it up inside the lizardman's body. She's also pretty smart huh.

They arrived at the village's main street and went to the store to sell the skin.

"Woah, you guys got a big catch today."

"Sure Miss. How much do we got for this?"

"All of this for 10 gold coin. Thanks for selling the material."

"Yeah, we'll back tomorrow Miss."

Another day another coin. 1 gold coin is worth of 10 silver coin. We need to get 10000 gold coin per student to enter the Kaleo Magic Academy. Right now we got 36758 gold coin, it's not enough for five of us to join. That's why we always hunting everyday.

"Kire let's go to hut, we didn't meet them yesterday."

"Yeah, let's go brother."

They both went to the hut to meet with the others. Nare open the door and when they go inside the hut, they only find one guy and that is Leo.

"Leo? Why are you alone here? Where's Shone and Gina?"

"They're still hunting. By the way today i got 12 gold coin from hunting fire wolves."

Gaah really? He alone can get 12 gold coin and both me and Kire can only get 10 gold coin today. How much can he get really. If he can get that much alone, he's the one who should do the hunting alone.

"Ah really? That's nice. We need less then 15.000 gold coin now. And we still have 6 month left."

"Don't worry Nare, we can get more gold coin if we adventure to other city."

"Eh, other city? What do you mean Leo?" Kire asked.

"You know that if we do another quest at bigger city or another region we can get more money right?"

He's right. But we have never left Valhand before. If we go to another region it will be a big problem because we don't know what kind of monster there is. Besides if we get more than 10 gold coin per day, we can make it in time.

"I think that's too risky Leo. Why don't we just do our normal daily hunting?"

"You're too short-minded huh?"

This guy!

Nare approach Leo and rise his hand.

"Brother, he is right."

"What?"

Now Kire agree with Leo? Why? It's too risky for us. I know that he is strong, but we're still not awakened yet. We're just probably a C or B rank right now.

"That's too risky, i know that you are strong. But the rest of us is not that strong yet."

"Don't worry, if we five we won't lose, we won't die if we are together, right?"

Damn this guy, he likes challenges. If i think again, he is right.We are five, we are strong if we are together. But the problem is whether Shone and Gina agree with this?

Then the door is opened, there were seen two people entering.

"Gina, Shone welcome back." said Kire.

"We're home. Today Shone and I got 15 gold coins, you know?"

"Wow that's great Gina!"

"I know right?"

Gahh, no way! How? Why i only got 10 gold coin? How did they get 15 gold coin?

Shone went to the kitchen and calling Leo to join him cooking for the lunch. Gina also went to the kitchen to make tea for them. Nare and Kire preparing the table for the lunch.

Ah, what a frustrating day for me. I always lose to Leo, but today i lose to Gina and Shone. I don't know why but i just feel like i'm losing now.

The first time i lose my practice battle is againts Shone. It was 8 years ago, when the first time we met. After Kire and I went to the forest every day, it's been a week since. We decided that we should do battle training to test our magic abilities. Shone proposed to me for battle training. He said that he was still weak and needed to review and practice his magic abilities.

I think he is weak and i'm stronger than him since i'm taller and faster than him. But when he show his true power at that time, i can't do anything to him.

"Oy Shone, be ready!"

"I always ready."

Nare raise his hand and making a big Fireball. But when he look foward, he didn't see Shone.

Where did he go? I though he is slow. But i didn't see him anywhere.

Before even Nare finish his skill, Shone strike him with full lightning speed. Nare got shocked and lose the practice battle.

"Wha? What was that? How can you move that fast?"

"I'm a lightning mage." he looks at Nare with a smile.

That's the first time i see a great mage in front of my eyes. He is so cool, i didn't know he is a lightning mage. Because when we play chase he always loses because his run is very slow. But apparently he restrained himself so he could have fun with the others.

From that moment i always train harder so i can read his movement until today. I finally can see his movement, although sometime he defeat me with something else.

"Oy food is here." Leo shouted.

Even before Leo and Shone put food on the table, Nare stood up and took the food and immediately ate it.

"What the heck, patient Nare."

It's so good, the smell and taste are in a different level. It's far better than Kire's food. Damn, he can do every thing really good. Me? I can only use magic that's all. I always envy him, not only him, but every one in here.

"Brother, don't eat too fast."

"Yeah, yeah."

I'm very hungry today, even though I only hunt 3 lizards and only need 1 hour. Even Kire only hunt 1 lizardman today. So today, we got 37 gold coin. A pretty good amount that we got today.

"So about today's meeting." Leo put the food into the table. "Let's adventure outside of Valha."

"Agree!!" said Kire.

"Hm, not a bad idea."

"Let's do this."

At this time, we decided to leave Valha after all the time we had lived here.

"I will tell my parents then. They will agree with that no matter what."

"Okay then, decided already. Let's leave Valha 2 more days."

"Okay!"

After we ate together, Kire and I returned home to pack our things. We hand over notes to our parents so they don't worry about us.

I take some of my book, also took some of my clothes and take all of my money. After that i clean my room and take a bath.

"Kire, how's your feeling?"

"I'm excited brother. How about you brother?"

"Me too, ah by the way let's eat outside for the last time."

"Ah, okay then. Besides we only have some eggs left and that's for our tomorrow breakfast."

"Okay let's go then."

Nare and Kire went to the village main street. They're looking for a good cheap restaurant.

"Let's go eat meat Kire."

"At Taiya's?"

"Of course, it's very cheap."

They went inside the restaurant and order the food. Nare ordered meat package 1 with extra sauce and Kire ordered meat package 7. Every time they went to Taiya's, they always order the same packge.

"I'm so hungry, i can't even wait anymore right now."

"Patient brother."

The calm atmosphere in the restaurant changed immediately after they heard the screams of people from outside. After they heard a scream, they immediately went out to check what was happening. Then they were surprised after seeing many houses that were burned.

"What the heck?"

"Brother, our house?"

"No problem i think."

What the heck is happening? Who attacked our village? Why at this time really? I'm so hungry right now. Why can't you attack after i eat my dinner.
