Chereads / The Forsaken World Of Arcania / Chapter 7 - Chapter 3 : True Talent

Chapter 7 - Chapter 3 : True Talent

As a couple months passed by approximately 8 months I have successfully improved myself and learned fully of archery and swordsmanship with the effort of my parents that they really work hard to train me until I reached who I really am.

"Yaaaaawn"I yawn and waked up early

For the moment I was dumbfounded the suddenly I heard a unexpected loud noise at my side and I looked and surprisingly found out where the sound came from.

"SNOREEEEEE!"Snore by Hikaru while in a deep sleep of laziness

So Hikaru was making that loud noise and by looking at his sleeping position he will be falling out of bed for the moment, That's why I stranded up and moved him so I can fix he's sleeping position then even I moved him many times he doesn't yet goes awake.

"You are really tired because of the intense training you did yesterday"I whispered

After that I got out on my room and headed at the bathroom so I can wash my face then after that I walked downstairs, While I was walking down I smelled something delicious so hurry up so I could see what mom is cooking.

"Good morning Kazuya you're early today"Mom said

"Morning mom, what are you cooking"I asked

"Ow this I'm still preparing it for our lunch later on and you might be hungry I cooked some eggs and sausage in here"

So I sat at near of the table and mom prepared my cook and by looking at it it's looks so DELICIOUS!,

"Thank you for the food"I said then I dig in and bite after bite flavor explodes on how good the sausage was.

"By the way mom where's dad I didn't saw him around?"I asked.

"Eat slowly, he's currently training right now at the forest"Mom replied

To be honest is better to train at the forest early because of the breeze of it but avoid monster. Hmmmmm what if I trained there too.

After I concluded I finish eating and mom took the plate to wash and I got upstairs to get my bow and arrow and saw Hikaru still sleeping that is very reasonable because it's still early of the morning the sun is about to set.

"Mom I'm heading outside for a moment"I said.

"Okay be careful on the way"Mom replied.

I got everything I need and I headed outside that it's a bit dark but later on it won't be dark anymore so I walked slowly around the village and mesmerizing the area. While I was walking around I noticed someone at the front of the small church of our village.

Something was glowing in the hand of the person front of the church but I didn't much payed attention to it.

"That was cool"I said

I continued walking until I reached the exit of the village and the sun was about to set so I continued my walk.

Minutes went by…

I reached the forest

"This forest is huge!"I said while getting amazed by how beautiful it is.

So I walked inside of the forest and the sunlight from the tree got my attention on how mesmerizing it is then after a while I was walking I saw my dad.

"Kazuya where are you heading?"Dad asked.

"I'm searching for an area where I can trained"I replied.

"Is that so I recommend you go straight forward and after that you will see a river there perfect for training early"Dad said

After that dad continues walking straight home while followed the path where dad recommended to me.

Not so long I arrived at the area so before I started I sat down to relax for a moment and tried throwing some rocks to the river.

"YOSH! 7 hops that's my new record"I said it took me many attempts but it was fun.

Suddenly a familiar sound was coming close and close to me then I looked at the side where the sound came from.

"WATCH OUT!"Said by a unknown voice.

At the exact time I heard the voice when I look at my side a sphere of water suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hit my face causing wetting my clothes.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I apologize for what I just done pleeeease FORGIVE ME"Said by a unknown voice.

"It's alright I'm fine"I replied.

I suddenly observe him quietly and this person is wearing a robe and holding a stick that looks like the same as what use a couple months ago in swordsmanship but rather much bigger that his.

"Are you a swordsman"I asked.

"Sadly I'm not"He replied.

I was gave a piece of cloth to rub at my face then after that a familiar face popped up and it was gob the son of the town mayor riku.

"Wait aren't you gob the son of the town mayor"I asked.

"Yes I am but before that let me dry you"He said

"Wait I can dry myse-"

"EVAPORATION!"

There was a wooden stick that gob was holding and it's edge flowed suddenly and after that I felt the water with my cloth starting to disappear, when I looked I saw the water particles was elevating upward then suddenly became mist.

"There you go now you're dried up"Gob said

"WHOOOOOOOOA THAT WAS AMAZING GOB!"I shouted because on how amazing was it

"Eh"Gob replied.

"What did you just and what does it call can you tell what it is!"I came forward to him and grabbed his and and asked.

"It's… ma…. Magic…. Its magic"gob said while embarrassed.

"Magic? Whats that?"I asked.

"Let me explain to you what magic is, magic is a supernatural phenomenon that we create from our mind's that requires mana and Mana is like a person's energy, like energy mana is needed in order for you to casts spells or magic, mana is an important function when it comes to magic because without it you won't be able to cast any spells" Gob Explained.

"So who created magic then"I asked curiously.

"Who knows it might be here at the very beginning or it's considered as a gift from the heavenly principle known as a god"Gob Replied.

As what just gob say about magic is truly amazed and fascinated me that it's feel like I want to learn it for some reason but im a bit shy to ask so I look at gob without thinking on what he will react.

"Eh is there something wrong?!….."Gob said then after that he panicked.

Gob sat and started to freak out that I'm starting to thinking it's actually bad idea so I approached him to calm gob.

"Calm down calm down I was just playing you because I have a favor to ask but I can't say it"I said.

Gob suddenly looked at me curiously and I looked away because I'm embarrassed on what I just done them gonna ask a favor to him.

"What is it"gob asked.

"I was amazed by your magic and I was thinking that you could teach me how to use magic by your own expertise"I replied.

For a moment gob was dumbfounded when I asked him then after that he stood up, the next thing he did was he walked backwards and suddenly turned around facing the river.

"Are you sure you want to learn magic?"Gob asked directly with a serious tone of voice coming from his mouth.

"Yes I'm sure and I believe I can"I replied.

After that gob suddenly turned in front of me with a smile on his face and the next thing happen he ran towards at me so I reacted that's why I grabbed the handle of my sword then he tackled me causing as to fell on the ground.

"Ouch… the hurts"I said.

"Ow my apologies"he replied.

Gob quickly recovered from the ground and lends me hand so I can stand up too.

"I look forward training with you kazuya"Gob said with a exciting aura.

"Thanks I look forward too"I replied.

As today is the day where my magic training began with the help of my teacher gob with his magic knowledge of his own.

"So let me ask you first, what's the reason why you want to learn magic in the first place "Gob asked suddenly with another serious tone of voice.

"The reason why I want to learn is currently, I'm mastering swordsmanship and archery that sounded cool so if I added up magic it will much more cooler"I replied with a motivated tone.

What kind of person is this talking about… it's… so… CHILDISH but no offense but it really sounded so childish but I can't blame him because me and him probably are in the same age that who are more only focus on playing and enjoying our childhood(Gob's POV)

"One of the biggest reasons too is to become a CARDINAL!"I screamed.

" Pfft-* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"Gob suddenly burst out laughing.

"Eh is there something wrong with what I said"I replied.

I was constantly confused on why gob suddenly burst out laughing, Is it about what I said or something else that I didn't notice while having a conversation.

"Sorry sorry my bad I was just surprised on how big is your dream is"Gob Said.

A sudden of negativity came after on what gob and that was the reason of my sudden changes of facial expression to happy to sad.

"Ah sorry… I didn't mean to hurt your feelings for what I mean is you have a big dream that make's me want to do and become a cardinal soon"Gob said while trying to comfort my sudden sadness.

"It's alright i understand"I replied.

After the negativity disappeared instantly…

"Wanna see some other cool magic"Gob Asked.

"Yes Please"I replied.

While gob is finding a spot to cast, I sat down near at the tree while facing to him in order to see its magic casting.

"Alright so what element do you want"Gob Asked.

Elements?… Ow Fire Wind Water and Earth hmmmm I'll choose wind.

"How about wind?"I replied

"Alright let's do it"Gob said

Gob has started to chant the spell and while he was casting the tip of the wand glowed. The wind started blowing in the area and directly found to gob wand then after that the spell was finish and a looking like Rose but the whole body was made of wind.

"Isn't magic beautiful"Gob Ask.

"Yes it is"I replied.

Growling!…

"What's that noise?"Gob asked that he was confused because of the loud sound he heard.

"I think that was my stomach, I'm hungry"I replied.

Gob was shocked then after that he walked towards on a bush and trying to reach something.

"Are you looking for something"I asked.

"Wait almost their… FOUND IT!"Gob said

Gob has reached something then when he pulled it out it was a pot for cooking with some vegetables on it.

"Don't worry I'll make a solution for that hunger of yours"Gob said

"No you don't have do.."I replied.

Gob didn't bother of my declination of he's generously and continue preparing the things will be needing on cooking.

"Can you grab some branch of sticks over there so we can start a fire"Gob Said

He pointed at the other side of the river where mostly many tree branches fell at the ground, So I didn't hesitate and cross the river so I can gather some branches for the fire.

A minute went by…

"26 branches! This will be enough"I said while sweating because of the heaviness of the branches on how fat are they not like other branches who are just so thin.

After I gathered the branch I cross again at the river and I'm glad the river was not that deep, you can say it's considered as a water path but because of its resource of fish so the people around the area consider it as a small river.

"Gob I got the branches you nee-"I said

"Evaporation"Gob casted and making my outfit dry again.

"Thanks you, you can sit near a tree and while I cook the food"Gob said.

"Let me help yo-"

"Sit there"Gob suddenly look at me with a scary eyes.

So I sat down under a tree while enjoying the relaxing breeze of the area that wanting me to sleep but it will be embarrassing to gob on while he's cooking and I'm not doing something so I'll rather to sat and watch him cook at the distance.

Minutes went by…

"Alright Food is ready Kazuya"Gob called me after for a bit long waited that i actually watched in the whole time, then I came forward and sat beside him.

"Here you go feel free to have more there are plenty more"Gob said.

As gob handed me the bowl of soup, he handed me a plate with a roasted COD fish that I think it's from the river but I didn't notice he was roasting it while cooking the soup.

"Dig up"gob said.

"Thanks for the meal"I replied.

After that we started eating and while we are eating we had some random chats about our hobby and likes on life.

"Come to think of it what we're you doing here gob?"I asked.

"Oh it's because of the breeze of the area it helps me concentrate, how about you"Gob said then asked me back.

"Same"I replied.

A suddenly silent moment came…

"Do you have any friends kazuya"Gob asked.

"Yeah I have some why?"I asked back.

"That's nice… I-… don't have any… I mean I don't have any friends because people think me weird because of this talent I have so I always hide behind of my father so I don't get noticed by other people and backfired me by there words"Gob said with a sudden sad tone from him voice.

"That's alright besides you have a friend now"I replied.

"Ah friend?"Gob asked.

"Me I'm your friend of it's ok to you"

** "iM… GlAd… tHAnk You!"Gob Replied while having tears in his eyes.

So I comfort him until he calm down then after that I made a promise to gob that we will be hanging out again tomorrow at the exact place near at river, So I left the forest and got home not so long and had dinner then slept peacefully.
