-Kafrim Town
3rd POV*
While Tania was sleeping and Genib erased her existence, Ascella went out in the middle of the night. He got outside of town thinking that his experiment might turn dangerous. He is currently half a mile away from the town as he nodded his head in confirmation. "With this, there should be no damage once something go wrong. Well, for the first experiment.. it will be teleportation magic or something similar. I need it since I also wanted to know what is happening in Paradise" Ascella muttered as he started his work. He began thinking of what to do until a idea emerge from his head. He pictured the scenery of Paradise before thinking of 2 portals appearing. One infront of him and the other on Paradise.
Ascella poured mana into the portal until he heard something break which made his mouth rise. "Nice.." he muttered before throwing a stone inside the portal. "Oh, I'm so stupid.. anyway, I'll try it now" he scratched the back of his from his stupidity before he took a long breathe and entered the portal. Once he was inside, he was welcomed by a large army carrying their weapons while pointing at him. Ascella flinched as he raised his hand, "...Yo?" He greeted them as silence descended the place. A second later, everyone's knees were on the floor as they lowered their heads. """We apologize!! Welcome back, young lord!!""" All of them shouted at the same time as if they already practiced the sentence before.
"I'm also glad to meet you guys, where is Atlas?" Ascella questioned them as they made way for him, the scene was grand with armies making way for their lord. Atlas heard of the commotion as he used his fastest speed to arrive at Ascella's side. He kneeled and lowered his head, "Welcome back my lord" he greeted Ascella who smiled in return. "I am just trying the new spell that I just made. Don't mind me, everyone keep training!" Ascella gestured them to continue as they immediately followed his words. "Still, you've gotten strong Atlas.. in their eyes, your figure probably just flickered before arriving at my side" he complimented Atlas as the orc felt a warm feeling inside him. "Thank you for your kind words, my lord" he gave his gratitude.
"Everyone has grown huh? I never thought that the tribe I saved in a whim before could grow this much. Is everything here working for you guys?" Ascella said with melancholic look on his eyes. "This is all thanks to you my lord. We would never be able to survive if we didn't met you.. meeting you was a blessing for all of us. And for your question, yes we are indeed having fun in this paradise you made. We could never hope for something better" Atlas replied with the same smile. His respect for Ascella didn't falter for even a second as he deemed the man more than worthy for his loyalty.
"I'll be looking forward for your progress, don't let me down Atlas" Ascella gave that last words before making another portal and returning to Kafrim Town. Atlas was left at the place as he just closed his eyes and lowered his head. "I'll promise that you won't regret gathering our tribe my lord.." he muttered in low voice.
Back to Ascella, "Now that I finished the first one, let's proceed to the second one. Hmm.. oh right! With my new spell making a storage bag is much easier. I just need to connect the bag with a warehouse where I will place all of my items." He nodded his head at the idea. He initially thought of making a storage magic but when he remembered that magic is really rare in this land he refrained from continuing it. He began testing things, and after many failures he finally finished the product. The moment he finished it, the sun was already rising so he just stopped and returned to the town. Though Tania and Genib were already awake panicking as they can't see Ascella's figure anywhere. They thought that he might have done something more outrageous this time.
"Haha, I love that you are worried but can't you direct that worry towards me?" He said downheartedly as the two just stared at him with deadpanned eyes. "Sigh, fine, fine. I'll inform you guys next time." He sighed while shaking his head. Genib and Tania nodded their heads even though only one can see the other. "Oh right, about the solution.. here" Ascella went towards Tania before he touched her head and guided her mana towards her eyes. Normal mage would never be able to do this as they had no mana in their body, they only use the mana in the air. The moment the mana reached Tania's eyes, her viewpoint of the world began to change. She can now see things that are normally hidden under the normal eyes. She looked at Ascella's shoulder and saw the most beautiful being she has ever seen in her life. Purple hair with rounded ruby eyes.
"Is this.. Genib? Beautiful.." Tania muttered in awe, this is the first time that she witnessed a magical creature with her own naked eyes. "Really!? G-Genib is now embarrassed!" Genib was happy with her words as she began squirming in her place. "This solves the problem right? Oh make sure to familiarize that feeling Tania. That way you can learn magic with just your own hand" Ascella said smiling at both of them who started chatting with each other. This scene is too peaceful that Ascella wondered if something is really going to happen in this town.

-Seginus Town,
Every servant of the Kraz manor are in turmoil because they are ordered to find anything about the young man with black hair. The silent rage on Zosma's eyes made them pity the young man, this is the first time they ever encounter a case where a young man pissed a mage so much that he is literally looking all over the place for him. With the torture they did at the shady man, the only clue that Zosma and Almach got was that it was a young man with insane strength as to bend a cage with his own two bare hands. The two of them kept that information in mind as they are suspicious that maybe the young man was an orc roaming in a human town. The possibility can never be turn down specially when they are getting ready for the crusade that the orcs would do.
Its been 2 days and they haven't heard a news yet bringing Zosma's rage to a new heights that he never experienced before. He was a mage! Respect was something he gets on a daily basis and now what the young man did was basically spitting on his image as the benevolent mage that no one could step. His grandson was killed and his slave was taken away from him, there is no way he could stay still in that situation. "... Any news?" Zosma asked while staring at his son who tried to make himself look smaller. "... No father. It seems like they already left the down a few days ago.." Rakis reported something that Zosma already concluded. "Useless. Useless. Useless... I'll look for that young man myself, continue your work as the lord" Zosma said before walking away from the room.
Almach already left the town and returned to his fief, he will do his own investigation about the matter as life of a precious specimen is being laid here. "Do this job for me.. I'll trust your abilities" Zosma muttered something that made the shadows in the surroundings flickered before returning to normal. "So it really is that woman.. how did she get back to normal? Even Almach said that it is impossible to treat her injuries.. someone might have help her. Is it that young man they are talking about?" He muttered in the dark, thinking of various things that might connect to the death of his grandson. He is sure that it is not just a normal death, and the thieves that died are not even from this town, this means that someone planned all of that.

-Kafrim Town.
"Ascella! Come! There is a something happening here!" Genib shouted at Ascella who lazily followed her. "What is it? I still wanted to sleep, I stayed up all night after all" Ascella said while yawning, even though his body was not tired, he still craved for the satisfaction that a human could gain from sleeping. He can't just forget about everything that was already programmed in his brain. Ascella stopped when he witnessed a real Shuraba happening in real life. Two woman are literally arguing with each other using loud voice for a man that has no considerable features. The man was embarrassed by the situation as he tried to calm the two.
The situation is fairly amusing for Ascella so he just kept watching. But only after a few seconds of watching that he noticed something important. Both of the girls has mana on them! Ascella controlled mana and placed them in his eyes, though his action was not left unnoticed by the two girls as they turned their heads toward him. Seeing the features of the two girls, Ascella finally understood their origins under their disguise magic. Black skin with long ears, they are nothing than a dark elf. "Hey you! Come with us!", "Don't try resisting!" Both of them shouted at Ascella who just raised an eyebrow. "What do you girls want? Just continue the show, I am quite satisfied watching here" Ascella said while yawning.
The dark elves clearly didn't like his attitude so they tried pulling Ascella.. "What!?", "Don't resist!" They complained when they couldn't even move Ascella from his place. They might be stronger than the human race but their power is still inferior to that of a Orc. And Ascella who thrased an orc around with just his physical strength is a monster compared to them. "Jorge! Help us here!", "Yeah! Don't just stand there! This human is strong!" They shouted at the boy who got a complicated look on his face. "H-Hey.. you are disturbing him! Release him at once!" He tried stopping the two, ""Shut up!"" But they just shouted at him making him stop and release a gloomy aura from his body.
"Anyway! Human come with us!", "Yeah, yeah! We just wanted to know something!" They were so persistent that Ascella was getting tired from them. But since this is the first time he would be interacting with race other than human, he relented. They went to a rather shady alleyway as the two looked at Ascella with suspicious eyes. "So? What do you want? Just so you know, I honor Gender Equality so expect some beating from me if you do something stupid" Ascella warned them. "Then.. are you a human? There is no way a human at your age could interact with mana. Besides the way you used it was too good! Even better than us!" One of them asked.
"Oi, oi, I don't like this air of you interrogating me. Do I have the reason to answer you two?" Ascella asked with a disturbing focus look on his eyes. He was staring at them too much that they couldn't help but flinch. "Besides, you didn't introduced yourselves yet" he added as the two gained their composure. "I am Luna!", "And I am Lina!", ""We are the twin dark elves from the forest of Guivana!"" Ascella opened his mouth forming a O as he clapped his hands. "What a nice introduction, then I guess I should do it too. I am Ascella and that girl is Tania, we are.. normal humans" He introduced both of them with a silly smile on his face. This is the meeting between the blessed elf sisters and the enigmatic 'Normal Human'
