"You leaving? What happened?" - Haiden
"Haiden, is there a bounty or a wanted poster about the girl that is seen in the picture?" - Kyne
"A bounty? ah, now that you've said it, when the news carrier was still here, i remember him giving a quest paper, hold on"
Haiden searched the quest paper among the many normal papers, it didn't took long until he found it below his desk.
"Here it is, i forgot to put this onto the quest board since theres many things that i have to confirm and stamp as a guildmaster." - Haiden
Looking into the quest paper, its not a mission or a quest at all, but its a bounty poster for None, with her face being drawn on it, there is also a description about her appearance at the side of the picture, and below the drawing, a big text saying wanted is written, with a bounty reward of 3 Large Gold Coin, the poster said to bring her dead or alive.
"Shit.. she's more dangerous than i thought.." - Kyne
"Detective, Are you trying to catch her?" - Haiden
"..."
Kyne ponders for a bit, this new incident has revealed more of None's power, and he knows that, he won't get to be at None's level anytime soon, that's why, he needs some action, if he wants to get stronger, he needs to put his life on the line and take every risk possible.
"Guildmaster Haiden, i've already made my decision the moment i left Yucca, whether im gonna be dead or alive at the end of my journey, it is i that will determine the outcome." - Kyne
With that final speech, Kyne walked to the exit door, but before he left, he asked Haiden for some other interesting information that he had read, in the end, Kyne received a bunch of new information about things that is happening recently.
Looking at the sun location, there is still some time left before night time arrives, since there is nothing to do here, Kyne decided to leap through the houses and left the city into the nearby open field where he will train his magic and also physical ability.
When talking about magic, one might think that you just need to chant an incantation corresponding to the magic spell that you want to use, but here, its much harder than just having mana and knowing an incantation, for a normal person, flowing out or absorbing mana is as simple as breathing, but forming or changing them into magic is what makes it hard.
You first need to know what element of magic do you have the most talent in, and from it, imagine anything that can be turned into that element, for example, if someone is talented at fire magic, then they might be able to produce anything made out of fire.
Same with Earth, Water, Wind, each element has its own advantages and disadvantages, earth magic is great for architecture since they can manipulate the ground into any shape as long as they have enough mana for it, water magic is great in a water scarce area like desert, fire is for cooking and warming ones body incase of being in a cold area, and wind is great for mobility like flying.
However, there are two type of elements that is different from the four major one, that element being Dark and Light.
Dark element allows someone to basically create an organism that have different properties or effect, for example, changing someones eye property so that it can see mana which is should be invisible, creating a nano organism that could track a living being using mana, and so on, Light magic on the other hand is just another word for healing magic as it is a power that can only be granted when one had faith in god.
After arriving at the open field, Kyne tries out his magic, he has a talent in Dark Element, that is also why he is accepted into the Crime Management organization, they need someone like him that can use tracking magic to catch criminals.
At first he formed a grotesque monster out of his mana, with multiple arms, giant vertical mouth full of teeth and one leg that looks like a pole.
"Keuk.."
Making this organism consumed a lot of his mana, since he had to maintain almost every part of its body, even including the teeths, Kyne grunted as he struggled to keep the organism intact and functional, the more complex and big the organism is, the more magic circle he'll need to use, in the end he only managed to keep the magic for 30 seconds before the magic circles in his hand breaks and the monster dissipates into pure mana.
"Huff.. Huff... Huff.., its not long enough.."
He sat down beneath a lone tree among the vast open grassfield, after resting himself for about 5 minutes and taking off his coat and sword, he got up to train his magic again, he kept on trying to make overly complicated organism or probably anything complicated so that he will be extremely exhausted, emptying out his mana so his body will absorbs more mana than normal, basically expanding his mana storage everytime he trained.
He repeats this process for an hour and a half, at the last attempt of his magic, he created a large ball, the size of the tree that he used to rest and although it looks simple, inside the giant ball, there is a hundred smaller balls that is constantly being bounced from one side to another. the constant movement and also the pressure that Kyne had to keep up in order to not destroy the giant ball is insane.
He managed to keep the ball for 15 seconds.
"PUAAHH!!"
Kyne fell to the ground, feeling more exhausted than ever, he couldn't move his body at all, he was forced to stare at the bright sky with sweats pouring down from his body, the feeling of sweats sliding down his skin is not comfortable at all.
'Shit.. I have a feeling that my mana is at a negative number..' - Kyne thought
It took him 10 minutes to finally be able to get up.
"Next.."
From behind him, theres a footstep sound that is coming closer.
