What seemed as weeks passed, and Steve was frustrated of doing nothing but teaching Takobu to read, eat food created by the woman, sleep, and kill goblins. He wanted to complete the dungeon to get back to his familly, but each time he tried to go forward he was stopped by the woman."This is the twentysixth attempt to progress the dungeon", thought Steve who was sneaking trying to go forward. He was soon stopped by the woman, who scolded him and forced him to return to the camp."Ugh... another fail", he murmured clenching his fist in frustration."Why can't we progress into the dungeon?", Steve asked to the old woman."Do I really have to explain this?", she complained. When she said that, she looked at Steve pleading face and said: "Ok, I will explain you after today's Takobu's lessons"."Really?", asked Steve with glowing eyes."Ye, ye. Now go", she ordered making a "go" sign with her hand.Steve went to grab the book, which was in the floor, and after that he approached Takobu and said: "Get ready for today's lessons".Takobu stood up and followed Steve to a table made of rock that the woman created with magic.They sat down and the lesson started."Takobu, so you remember what we saw in the other classes?", asked Steve hoping for an affirmative answer."Umm... don't get mad", said the brown eyed teen."Why would I get mad?", asked Steve getting impatient."Well... I forgot", he answered putting his head between his shoulders because of the guilt he felt."Ugh... Hey! Is there a memory enhancement spell?", he asked to the woman."Just teach him!", she responded sharply.Steve looked at the book and started reading it to him."Magic is born from a mental image".Steve still couldn't believe that that was all that was written in the book, and he couldn't accept that that only line that was written in the book couldn't get inside Takobu's head.The only other thing that the book had were some stripes all over the book. There were at least a thousand."I feel pity for the trees that ended up being this book", he thought."Did you understand?", he asked to the brown eyed teen."Yes!", he answered enthusiastically."Well, tomorrow I will have to repeat this aga- wait... really!?", he asked amazed. He didn't have to hear Takobu's response. He just saw his glowing eyes, like he had made a breakthrough."Oh right!", he said remembering that the old woman would explain why they couldn't progress the dungeon.He headed where she was and asked: "So, why can't we?"She was laying in the ground looking to the opposite direction to the one he was in. Then she turned around and looked at Steve's determined expression. After that she sighted and said: "If we complete a path, stronger monsters from the next one will come to this part of the dungeon"."That was all?", asked Steve disappointed. He was thinking that it was something like because her knee was hurt or something like that."Yes, so stop being so loud", she complained covering her ears.While she was saying that, they saw how Takobu launched a fireball making Steve's jaw drop."The book was right!", exclaimed the brown eyed teen while Steve complained about how easy it was to him to start using magic. "Really? That easily?", he asked himself in his thoughts.Steve remembered his embarrassing attempt of getting magic and compared himself with Takobu, who just used magic in his first attempt."Good job Tako!", the woman exclaimed clapping her hands."Thanks mom!", the teen happily replied going next to where his mother was. She softly patted his head making him really happy.When the "family moment", how Steve called it, ended, Steve remembered what he was talking with the woman."When will we go?", Steve asked intrigued. "You said that we will complete the dungeon"."Not now", she answered sharply."Oh, come on!", he complained.From that moment, he asked when would they go in every possible moment: When she was resting, he asked; when they were fighting, he asked; when she was washing her clothes, he also did.She was calmly preparing dinner with her magic in a rocky table she created. She created a sharp iron knive with which she started cutting some goblin flesh. After that she made a tree appear from the ground which started growing leaves, leaves she took and cut with her knive. After that, she moved her hand and made some piece of the ground to become a floating pot, pot she put the meat in and created some fire beneath it to cook the meat.She started humming a song, song which Steve never had heard.Then, out of nowhere, Steve appeared behind her and asked: "When will we go?", making her scream and slapping Steve so hard that he was sent straight to the wall making a crater of the shape of his body."You deserved that", she stated crossing her arms. "You scared me to death".Days continued like that, with Steve asking when will they go on each possible moment."When are we gonna go?", were the words that reverberated in her mind. She couldn't stop hearing it, even when she was trying to sleep. She felt like she was going crazy, until she had enough and went to the side of the path in which Steve was resting."Kid, we are going when you can beat Yoro in a fight", she said, so Steve stopped insisting."Really!?", he asked enthusiastically."Yes, so stop bothering me", she said and went to lay in the ground, in the opposite side of the path that Steve was."Dealing with kids is so troublesome", she thought while putting her arm below her head to make a pseudo cushion.Steve stood up and went straight to the bonfire, where Yoro was playing with his knive."Hey Yoro! Wanna train?", asked Steve receiving an affirmative answer.Yoro stood up with his knive in hand and followed Steve into a secluded part of the dungeon."What do we do?", asked Yoro. "Do we kill goblins or we fight each other?"."Let's spar", said Steve unsheathing his sword."3, 2, 1, go!", they both said, and the fight started.Steve tried to hit Yoro with a barrage of attacks, attacks he easily dodged and then he pointed his sword to his throat."I win!", said Yoro enthusiastically.Steve was shocked. He was enhancing his body with aura, but he couldn't do anything against him."Ugh... it will take me at least 10 years to catch up", thought Steve frustrated, still having Yoro's knive pointing at his throat."Wanna spar once a day?", Steve asked Yorokobu, receiving an affirmative answer from him.From that day, his routine changed, adding aura training, fiscal training and sparing with the black eyed teen.And just like that, years passed. Tako became more proficient with magic and Steve became more powerful by each passing day. Everyday he sparred with Yoro, being unable to win a single time.***Time passed and two years flew like the wind. It was the second year since Steve had entered the dungeon. Takobu was almost as proficient in magic as his mother, and Steve trained everyday to surpass Yoro to be able to progress the dungeon.He had grown his hair, like how it was when he saw himself in the mirror when he was with Aria."I wonder how she is", thought Steve while he was in his daily escape attempt.He still tried to escape to progress everyday, but the old woman had asked Yoro not to let Steve escape.For some weird reason Steve felt lucky that day, so he decided to challenge Yoro early."Are you sure you can win?", asked Yoro."Of course", replied Steve confidently."I won't let you", said Yoro mocking Steve."I already know that", answered Steve immediately launching an attack with his sword.The black eyed teen blocked it, but he had to put some more effort than the other times.After that, Steve started enhancing his body with aura, putting more force into his strike what made Yoro to be forced to jump back. Steve didn't let time for thinking to the black haired teen, he kept attacking, but each attack was blocked by Yoro.Steve attacked him with more force, but it was also blocked. Yoro pushed Steve which made him jump back, then he ran towards the demon, but in the last second, Yoro felt something digging into his neck, something that made blood come out of it.It was a crimson red sword, floating and digging into Yoro's neck. When he felt this, he immediately stopped moving so not to make the wound deeper."I win this time", said Steve with confidence.Yoro stepped back and said: "you really did", with a surprised tone.Tako, who was watching them, rushed to where his brother was and healed his wound with his magic."Thanks brother", said Yorokobu rubbing his head."No problem", answered him happy about using his magic to heal his brother."Hey, what's the trick of this sword?", asked Yoro carefully looking at the floating sword."I made it with aura", said Steve at the same time that the sword came back to his hand. "Do you like it?", he asked while going to where the old woman was."Yeah! It's so cool!", the brothers said at the same time."Are you synchronized?", asked Steve still walking to his destination."No, we are not!", replied angrily the both of them at the same time making Steve laugh."Ok, ok. You are not synchronized", Steve said trying to calm them down.Steve had reached his destination by the time he said that. The old woman was sleeping on the ground with her arm as a cushion, as she always did."Hey", said Steve trying to wake her up.He shook her while thinking that he was having a deja vu."Wake up!", he said while shaking her."I'M ALREADY AWAKE", screamed the old woman while pushing Steve so to try stopping him from shaking her.Steve stopped when the woman screamed. He and the two teens looked completely disappointment."They are coming right?", asked Yoro."They are", confirmed Tako."Well, don't blame me this time", said Steve to the old woman who kept laying on the ground thinking about how disappointed of her Yoro and Tako would be.Once again, the two teens and the kid went to face off the goblins.
