huh........."
I was surprised by his comment on my mana. And really he didn't even notice a shred of it. I thought that I was a normal guy surviving in the midst of the forest.
"What do you mean by terrifying mana releaseing."
The old man took deep breath.
"Its not the mana which is terrifying but the amount of mana you are releasing rightnow is terrifying."
I didnt even got a hint about it, He continued.
"The amount of mana you are releasing is far from normal. I Thinks the mana is leaking out your body. And it is in such great amount that anyone will not be able to come in contact with you. Until the mana is not concealed."
Now I get it. This leaking mana was the reason that I wasn't able to encounter any living being in the forest. But why that tiger and also this old man is in front of him. If this mana is so intense so they should also get effected.
" But grandpa Sun why are you uneffected by the mana."
"Hmmm... Who told you I am not effected by it."
He told me that while pointing towards the direction of his legs under the table.
They were trembling like a great fear had struck him through. Then also he was very conveniently hiding the fact with the smile and confidence on his face.
Not a single animal approached me in the forest and the reason was none other than myself. But why am not feeling any power. No wait I killed that tiger it was not on wimp. I am really overpowered.
"Grandpa Sun I have to show you something."
I got out of the of the house with grandpa Sun in the open.
Sssssssk...
"So you can use space magic....... Huh! "
I took out the tiger corpse from my storage space. And tried to ask him about it. But when I turned to him his face went pale.
"How you got your hands on the Afro Tiger corpse.
Did... You by any chance killed it."
"Hmm..."
I shook my head in yes to answer. As I thought that. There is nothing to hide now. And I find this old man a bit trustful.
"To think that you can kill the tiger. But after having a bit grasp of your power, I think its not a impossible occasion. But how did you even killed, I thought you didn't have any weapons."
I looked towards the old man before giving my answer to see how he will react.
" A stone! I used a stone to kill it. "
..................
What with the ackward silence.
" A stone? "
Now he is looking at me like I am an alien from another planet. I think now he see's me as anything beside human.
There was a complete silence of five minutes with neither of us spoke a word. Then finally after absorbing the corps he broke the chain of silence.
"A stone....... to kill a heavenly class breed.....can you give a demonstration of the move you used on afro tiger."
Holy cow! The tiger was such a big fish i didn't knew. He asking for demonstration what do he think I am joker in a circus. But i dont have a choice here. He is the only one I know here.
" OK. "
But don't regret it later old man.
I picked a stone from the ground. Aimed at a the tree nearly about 10 meters away from me and threw it with a my might.
Gushhhhh..........
The stone pierced through the tree like a bullet. And the same with the tree behind it. And the same with the tree further behind it. Making nearly 7-9 cm hole in the trees which came in contract with it. It continously pierced through the tree by the we can't see it any more. God knows where it will stop.
Duuuuuuuuhhhhh............
A large sound came of crashing, following with the birds flying away in sky terrified of the sound.
Wait a second the sound came from the direction where I threw the stone.
"I think that stone clashed with the hill."
Hill! But the hill was nearly a 8km away from here. This is too much God, didn't you made me monster instead of human.
"I Didn't thought that a stone can be this powerful."
Hey old man I am human for a fact. Don't look at me like I am any demon.
"Shiv! where are you planning to go from here."
The old man spoke after thinking for a while.
"Hmmm....... I don't have any plans for now."
"Why not come with me! I am going to leave here in 10 days."
A invitation, I think it's not a bad idea. I was also planning on exploring this world. And having him around can be convinent for me.
"Okay! if I will not be a bother."
"Bother! No no boy. I think you can teach me manythings."
For some reason i dont like the way he is smiling at me. I am regretting on my decision.
We got into the house and the old man turned to me with a blank expression on his face like thinking something.
"But first and for most we have to do something of your leaking mana."
He was in deep thinking with his hand on the beard.
"let me teach you how to conceal it."
He asked me to be his apprentice after thinking for a while. And i also want to have some knowledge of this world magic and its a great opportunity in my hand to learn from someone, so why not.
"Okay that will be great."
And thats how my ten day of training started. And also this will be a desastor for this forest.
