That morning Cleon did his usual activities, he got up early and helped his parents with homework. Finished doing his work, Cleon sat relaxing while looking at the scenery in front of his house, he enjoyed this second life. Suddenly her thoughts occurred to her task of coming to that world, Cleon stood up. He runs to pick up the horse behind his house.
"Mother, I want to go away for a while!" Cleon shouted as he galloped on his horse.
Cleon went to the eastern forest where Cleon had his first fight. He wanted to explore the forest further of course because Cleon was curious about the rarely touched forest. This time Cleon left without proper preparation, he only had the determination and ability he had.
"I'm curious about what happened yesterday, I'm sure the demon beasts don't move on their own," Cleon muttered as he started to enter the eastern forest area.
He began to slowly walk through the forest, he passed the marks of yesterday's battle. The place was still not far from the entrance of the eastern forest, Cleon stopped and tried to observe what was around him. At that time everything seemed normal there was nothing suspicious.
Suddenly there was an arrow that shot not far at him, it made Cleon surprised and saw where the arrow came from. He saw some movement not far from him. That made Cleon immediately prepare for what was to come.
"Who are they?" Cleon muttered to himself.
Cleon ran to find out what was going on, he saw a clear enough shadow so he immediately chased after him.
"Duaargghhh!!"
Suddenly there was a sound of a large explosion, Cleon immediately rushed towards the origin of the sound of the explosion. He saw a woman lying on the ground, her body covered in wounds from the explosion that had just been heard. Not long after, two big men came up to him and immediately pulled the woman's hair by force.
Cleon did not stay silent seeing that, from a distance he directly attacked the man who was holding the woman's hair.
"Watershot!!"
Cleon's strike hit the man's arm causing him to let go of his grip. Instantly the man immediately looked at Cleon with a look that was so annoyed that he had attacked him. He immediately countered Cleon by launching his attack quickly.
"Wind Slash!!!"
A wind magic attack aimed at him, Cleon immediately raised his hand.
"Waterwalls!!"
A thick wall of water appeared in front of Cleon, the man's attack hit Cleon's water wall causing an explosion. Cleon immediately ran around and counterattacked quickly.
"Continuous Fire Shot!!"
Cleon's continuous fire shot straight at the man, he couldn't make a defense because he was fooled by the water vapor from the previous explosion. The man took a hit from Cleon so badly that he was blown away and burned. Seeing this, the other man immediately moved. He seemed to be casting a magic spell, and directly aimed his magic at Cleon.
"Wind Wing Shot!!"
Seeing the attack, Cleon immediately tried to dodge, but it turned out that the attack was still chasing him. Cleon tried to run and started preparing his attack, he turned around and raised his arms forward. A huge energy gathered and formed a giant water ball.
"Water Cannons!!"
"Woooshhhhh!! Duaargghh!!"
His attack managed to destroy the enemy's magic, but that didn't stop Cleon's attack from stopping. Cleon's magic attack flew towards the man until it crashed into him. The man was blown away until he hit the trees, he didn't realize it for a moment.
Cleon stood up while catching his breath, he remained wary of the surrounding area for fear that there would be others. Then Cleon walked over to the woman who looked battered.
"Are you ok?" Cleon asked.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
The woman tried to stand up, but she looked so troubled that she fell back down. Cleon immediately grabbed hold of the woman's body, then Cleon saw that the woman's leg was injured quite badly.
"Your leg hurts," Cleon said as he raised his hand over the wound on the woman's leg.
"Healing!!"
With Cleon's healing magic as the woman's legs slowly recovered, the woman tried to move her legs back and started to stand up. He immediately smiled because he was now fully recovered. Seeing this, Cleon also smiled.
"Oh yeah, I'm Cleon," said Cleon, holding out his hand.
"I'm Ava, thanks for your help."
"Why are they after you?" Cleon asked curiously.
"They are bandits, they want to steal something from me. Lucky you came, otherwise I wouldn't have survived."
"I heard a pretty loud explosion, I was curious about it so I came here. But what are you doing in the eastern forest? Isn't this a pretty dangerous place," Cleon asked.
"I was looking for some herbs, they only exist in the eastern forest area so I came here to look for them. But not until I got the plants, they came. With my current abilities it's impossible to beat the two of them."
"I see now, are those bandits nests in this forest area?"
"I don't know, I don't know about that myself."
"Then I will accompany you to look for those herbs."
"Is that true?" Ava asked in quite a surprised tone.
"Sure," Cleon replied with a big smile.
The two of them started to explore the eastern forest, this time Cleon had more aim in exploring the eastern forest. The two of them rode Cleon's horse to the place Ava meant. The place was quite far into the forest, they stopped at one of the very large trees in the middle of the forest. Cleon was quite surprised to see such a big tree in front of his eyes, it was a new thing for him.
Cleon got off the horse and walked closer to the big tree, he looked closely at the tree, he was amazed by its enormous size. Meanwhile, Ava immediately looked for herbs that grew around the big tree.
"Why are you looking for herbs? Wouldn't using healing magic be faster?" Cleon asked Ava.
"Not everyone can use healing magic, after all if there were people who could use healing magic there's no way they would give it away for free."
"Is it like that? I don't know anything like that at all."
"Perhaps you are lucky to not know such things."
Ava sighed and continued to look for herbs, she didn't seem to have found any of the plants she was looking for. Out of curiosity, Cleon went along to look for the herbs.
