'It's been nearly six years since I arrived in this world and things have been interesting to say the least. I have made tremendous progress in what I have called my Storm Magic. I can use pretty much all wind spells that a normal wind magic user my age could use and the same could be said about my lightning magic spells.'
'The only thing I am behind on is what I call my Force Magic Aspect. This is the 'thunder' aspect of my storm magic. It represents the force and sound you'd hear from a crash of thunder. I can essentially use the soundwave to launch people away from me as well as coating my fists in the force to pack a bigger punch.'
'I still haven't gotten the hang of all that I can do with this aspect of my Storm Magic. I have also finally been able to use 'Enchant Infinity' on my spells and I have seen the spells grow in power quickly and I could tell they were going to get very strong so I had to stop the spells and they slowly faded.'
' I feel that my current strength without a grimoire is probably at an Intermediate Magic Knight 5th Class, but that is only if I utilize 'Enchant Infinity' otherwise my strength is at Junior Magic Knight 4th class which is still amazing for being barely six years old. This is all conjecture though as mages aren't given that rank based on their power, but their accomplishments, I would simply use it as a baseline as they would have to have a certain amount of strength to get enough accomplishments to reach said rank.'
My musings were interrupted by a obnoxiously loud scream from downstairs.
"RANTO HURRY UP IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST!!!" Asta screamed.
I used my lightning aspect to increase my speed and I was downstairs in an instant. No one saw me use my lighting and i just casually walked in the room.
"Asta, what did I say about screaming?" I asked while glaring at him.
Asta instantly quieted down and became almost scared in front of me as he gulped audibly as he saw my eyes that seemed to be staring into his soul.
"Ranto, this was different, you were upstairs so I had to make sure you could hear me." Asta said meekly to the chuckles of the other people at the table.
Currently it was Father Orsi, Sister Lily, Yuno, Asta, Reeka, and a young Nash sitting at the table enjoying breakfast. Reeka came to the church about a year ago and Nash was relatively new to the church.
"Sup Yuno!" I said to my little brother as I sat next to him.
"Hello Ranto." He said simply.
To the side Asta was scarfing down his breakfast to the point he started choking. Yuno slowly pushed a glass of water toward him which he drank to help him stop choking.
"Why do you seem to be in such a hurry?" I asked him.
"I have to hurry up and get to training, I have to catch up to you and Yuno." Asta said before standing up abruptly.
"ALRIGHT TIME TO HEAD TO MY SECRET TRAINING SPOT!!" Asta screamed as he ran out.
"It's not very secret if we all know about it." I said after him, but he either didn't hear me or was just too excited to care.
He wasn't always like this, about a year ago, he found out he couldn't use magic and it nearly broke him, but he bounced back and spent all the time he could training. He would try to move the water from the bucket, to no avail, and he would even try to set the wood on fire. Eventually he decided to stick with training his body as it always showed results. Yuno would sometimes join him to spar whereas I would sometimes join him in training my body as I knew that the stronger ones body, the easier it is to use your magic, not to mention a weak body is a normal magic user's weakness.
Yuno and I finished our food and got up to do our chores. Yuno walked outside to cut firewood and fold laundry and I ran around the house with lightning and wind magic to clean the floors and dust everything quick enough so no one saw me. After I finished with my chores, I told Father Orsi that I was going to train. As I went out to train almost as much as Asta, they didn't think anything of it and said for me to be safe and come back before dinner. I agreed and walked out into the forest.
I walked further and further into the forest and hoped to come across some magic beasts to help me gain combat experience. I spent almost all my training to get my magic to a good spot before I tried to get experience in actual combat, I knew how fast things would escalate when canon started, so I needed to be a lot stronger before then.
I walked and walked until finally I heard sounds of what could only be some magic beasts fighting. I walked toward the sound and finally saw a clearing where a 10 meters long and 5 meters tall wild boar and a large bear, about 17 meters tall were fighting. As for what they were fighting over, I didn't know but I didn't care, I just had to get ready to take them out. As the bear was about to slash the boar with it's claws, it was launched backwards about 15 feet and the boar stood there in confusion.
Both beasts stopped and looked in a certain direction as they saw a young boy walking into the clearing with hands and eyes glowing in a silver aura. The bear roared loudly as if trying to intimidate the newcomer, but it did nothing. The boar on the other hand, immediately started to charge at the young boy.
{Storm Magic: Lightning Augmentation}
Lightning started sparking off of Ranto and he suddenly disappeared from the boar's sight. The boar didn't know what happened and slammed into a couple trees off to the side as it couldn't stop it's charge in time.
The bear had better instincts and could tell that this human was not easy prey and watched the human closely. Ranto laughed at the bear and said something about it's mother. While the bear couldn't understand what the boy said, it knew that it was being insulted, so it got down onto all fours and started to run at the Ranto.
{Storm Magic: Wind Crescent Slash}
Ranto started to glow silver and wind started to blow crazily around him. He waved his hand and a silver wind slash formed. The slash was big, it was at least seven and a half meters wide and it came so quickly the bear had almost no time to dodge, It was able to move though, it turned slightly and the wind slash went through it's shoulder and cut off it's right arm.
Ranto watched as the cowardly bear rushed off as it knew it couldn't beat him. Ranto started to smile when all the sudden he covered himself in a silver aura as he was launched into a tree on the left. That's right, the boar came back and slammed into Ranto and sent him flying into a tree. This caused the fleeing bear to pause in it's retreat and come back a little to see if it could kill the human that caused it so much pain.
(Ranto POV)
**Bleurgh**
The impact from the boar caused me to cough up blood even though I instinctively covered myself with a Force Aura. I tried to push myself up, only to scream in pain as I realized my arm was dislocated, probably from the impact with the tree. The bear now came back and looked at the boar then at me. They seemed to come to some sort of agreement and both started making their way toward me. I knew there was only one way to get out of this situation. I had to use my ability. I wanted to not use it when I was training as I didn't want to rely on it, but now I have no other choice.
Before the bear and boar started to rush at me I started my chant for my next spell.
{Enchant Infinity Storm Magic: Wind Crescent Slash}
I waved my undislocated arm and instead of one big slash being created, numerous small wind slashes started to form. The number of wind slashes continued to increase as more magic was pumped into the spell until there were more than 1,000 wind slashes. At this point in time each subsequent wind slash started to get bigger and bigger until hundreds of 10 meter slashes were flying at the two beasts.
I could finally heave a sigh of relief as I didn't see the beasts rushing toward me anymore and i cancelled my spell and as the spell lost power the wind slashes slowly dwindled in number and size until they dissipated.
"Phew, that was way to close." I said as I slowly got up.
As I looked in front of me, I was shocked by what I saw. There were a bunch of cut up pieces of the boar and bear all in front of me and the trees in a 100 meter radius in front of me for at least 30 meters were cut until there was little more than a stump and bits of the trees were scattered in the same area.
'Whoa, Infinity really is a cheat ability. Well, at least now I know that I still need a lot of training before I can say I'm actually at the strength of Junior Magic Knight 4th Class. Without Infinity and a grimoire, I'm still too green to be considered a Junior Magic Knight. Sigh....Well, time waits for no one, I'd better get back to training.'
