"Ming crouched at the corner, watching Lavia change his occupation. This was the first time he had ever observed such a happening."
Before Ming's eyes, Lavia was transitioning into an Elemental Mage. Most Elemental Mages undergo physical transformations, and he wanted to bear witness. Lavia, eyes closed, was in the throes of this elemental change.
Ming didn't dare blink, observing him closely. He noticed Lavia's oily skin receding, the pores on her face narrowing. The long, curly hairs on his legs were shedding, and his skin was becoming delicate and soft.
"..."
Ming was taken aback. Ignoring the bearded face, looking only at the tender flesh of the small arms and legs, it was truly like a delicate young girl that could be shattered with a puff.
He looked up towards Lavia's face... gods...his beard was falling out, his nostril hairs were gone, and those thick eyebrows... dropped... even the hair on his head was truly bald...
