"Feel free to take it out!!" Rias shouted at Danis from the side when she was teaching Danis to understand her magic.
"I know...I will try!!!" Danis exclaimed in response to Rias.
"Come on...come on...condense it" Danis tried to concentrate as he tried to condense the fire magic in his hand.
Sweat started dripping, not because Danis was hot but he was nervous and also afraid to fail the umpteenth time.
These were dozens of times the magic trials performed by Danis, to condense the fire magic in her hand into a ball the size of a tennis ball.
But for some reason he always fails to do it, and this of course makes Danis very angry and disappointed, but then he feels he can't stop here so Danis then persistently tries to do it.
"Come on...just a little more!!!" Currently the fire magic in his hand had turned into half of a tennis ball.
Slowly but surely, little by little the perfect round size of a tennis ball began to materialize, unfortunately a small accident occurred where Danis was unable to withstand the pressure causing her fire magic to disappear and was extinguished instantly "pufft"
Seeing this Danis shouted "ahhhhhhhh...just a little more....why fail!!!!" Danis expresses his emotions by shouting.
And Rias, seeing Danis' condition, knew that this time Danis' efforts had failed once again, even so, Makeup had to admit that Danis' efforts were very good, even though she hasn't been able to succeed so far.
"It's okay sir, you can rest for a while and continue later" makeup approached and suggested Danis.
"Yeah I guess it can only be like that!!" Danis complained and accepted the fact that he still failed after trying dozens of times that he had done.
" What lunch did Stephani prepare?" Danis asked makeup.
"There are some delicious things sir, including salmon, salad, and also some mangosteen fruit and juice and bread" Rita told Danis what they brought.
"Ok then let's eat" Danis then invited her to eat together with herself, the two of them then immediately sat down and enjoyed their lunch on a cliff behind the castle.
The cliff was higher than the height of Danis castle, this was inseparable from the fact that the cliff was part of a large mountain that appeared after Danis passed the first test.
Together with the large mountain that rises hundreds of meters high, on Danis Island there is currently also a large lake with an area of tens of hectares that adorns the island, besides that the small river that used to exist has now turned into a medium-sized river, which has a wide 7-9 M with a depth of more than 5 M which flows from the direction of the large mountain towards the bottom of the beach, directly into the vast ocean.
In addition to the addition of rich nature, on the island Danis also saw clearly apart from the small animals that originally lived on the island, now there were also relatively large animals such as deer and wild boars. Seeing this, Danis also felt that there must be other predators that were stronger than tigers. beetles that lived on his island, but Danis had guessed that at least a large tiger or something similar must have lived to be a predator of these animals.
"Rias...do you miss your hometown?" Asked Danis to makeup suddenly when they had finished their lunch and were relaxing.
"Yes...sometimes I miss sir, but the rest I feel happy here" replied makeup again.
Hearing the answer from Risa, Danis knows that maybe this is inseparable from the value of Risa's loyalty which is 100% loyal to her.
So Danis suspects that even though Rias misses her hometown, this feeling is covered by a sense of loyalty to herself.
"Then do you remember where you came from?" Danis asked her again, wanting to see if she could conjecture that every special individual she had summoned or came to had memories of the world they came from.
"Remember sir, you moving here doesn't mean our memories are erased, it's just that our memories are added about the situations and conditions of the Nuswantoro world including the reasons why we got here and how we can return to our original world" Rias replied.
But Danis, who heard about this, was surprised because apparently their memories had not been erased or kept and instead they had added memories about the world of Nuswantoro.
So they have far more information than Danis.
"Then is there any way you can return to your world Rias?" Asked Danis again.
"There is no such answer in the memory that was given to me, only obedient and loyal orders are embedded" Rias replied back to Danis.
"Maybe at a higher level we can get the answer" Danis replied.
"Ok sir I think we have had enough rest, so let's continue practicing our magic" Rias replied back to Danis.
"Okay let's start again!!" Danis replied excitedly.
"Sir, do you feel your mana has recovered?"
"Almost fully recovered Rias, oh yeah don't call me master just call me Danis ok" Danis answered while then asked Rias to change her nickname from master to Danis.
"I see, ok sir....ah....Danis" Rias answered shyly but Danis who saw clearly knew that Rias looked very happy.
On the other hand, the increase in closeness that they have now done can be considered to be on the right track, moreover Rias who has 100% trust in him, makes Danis realize that he doesn't need to go too far to keep his feelings, just express everything and in the end as time goes by they could definitely make good progress.
"Concentrate Danis, don't distract yourself....focus ok..." Rias shouted encouraging Danis.
"Emm...I know" replied Danis still seriously collecting mana in his hand.
Either maybe it was because he was in a happy mood or he had rested enough that he later realized that this time he found it easier than before.
" Ok...slowly...don't rush you need to be steady!!" Danis said to herself the moment the mana in her body had successfully manifested into fire magic, and now the next step was to change the shape of the fire magic which was originally irregular into a tennis ball.
Danis slowly tried to compress the fire magic that was in her hand, slowly…slowly…..he kept trying his best to stabilize the mana output he was releasing so as not to shatter the fire mana that he was currently almost finished forming into a tennis ball.
" Come on... come on... come on..." Danis encouraged himself in his heart.
"Okay....almost there....almost perfect.....
"Yeah... it worked...
"Oopsss" the fireball the size of a tennis ball disappeared when Danis laughed happily.
"Hahahaha...too bad!!" Danis laughed as she realized that she had succeeded but unfortunately due to unstable mana fluctuations. from his heart she let the magic orb disappear.
"Ok...you can try again" Rias encouraged Danis.
##########
Several months passed just like that, and the current Danis could be said to be proficient enough to use her fire magic, it only took a little encouragement for her to break through to level one mage from her current level.
However, Rias Know the experienced to level 2 magician that what Danis needs now is a real battle where he uses the fire magic he has learned so that then it will push the mana energy in his body to increase and eventually break through to the 1st level of a magician. .
" Ok... this field is enough for a few thousand people to eat for more than 4 months, the rest we can look for nutritious food to increase the intake for the people and their main soldiers" Danis spoke with Maximus in his office in the castle.
Over the past few months his island has gone through a lot of changes, as a result of the additional rewards he got before his island is now getting better.
The road from the castle to the beach is now level with the ground, even though it is only 2M wide but for the current development it can be said to be very good, because at least the cavalry troops can walk simultaneously thereby speeding up the response if there is an emergency.
On the other hand, inside the city walls, now it can be said that it already has a real picture of the city, even if it's not that pretty, but Danis feels that it's pretty good for now. one type with dorms where they are single and not yet married.
The barracks have also become bigger and can accommodate 1000-2000 soldiers, even though at this time Danis still cannot fulfill that capacity, in fact he is already on a good track.
Apart from that, a health clinic, security office, convenience store, garden area, school have been built by Danis.
Even though it is small in size, this has become a normal infrastructure for a city, especially since the road inside the wall is not dirt but well-laid stones, although it is far from being modeled like asphalt, but for this design now it is very good, because even though it is raining the road not be destroyed and remain well passable by foot and cavalry.
Meanwhile on the welfare side, apart from good food being provided by himself for all his people, the rest Danis still lacks to fulfill clothes and also household tools, this is based on materials that have not been successful in obtaining, even though they have been through trade channels.
