No More Pain For This Villain.

"At first, I thought that maybe it'd take more than a month to get you into shape, but I was wrong." "I don't know what kind of changes have occurred in you in these past few days, but you are not the same kid I used to know," Marylin sighed as she put a hand on her brows.

"So the Thargtusk was the last test; is there nothing that I can learn?" "There is like a week or more till the month ends, right?" I asked, and at first we decided that she'd be my instructor for a month. I've somehow come to like this training and want it to continue a little bit more.

"I think you don't get the gravity of the task you've completed," Marylin sighed and said, "listen, a thargtusk is C rank, and it's nearly impossible for a D rank, and that also happens to be a one-star mage, to subjugate it, but you did, and on your journey, I doubt that you will face any mana beasts easily." 

It's true that mana beasts and monsters are different from normal animals; both can only be found in specific places like Balcker Forest, dungeons, etc.

"I could teach you more, but it'll take more time, and I think you don't intend to stay here for more than the end of the month, am I right?" Marylin explained the reason why she can't teach me any further: it's true that I must leave for the Reva kingdom.

"Yes, that's also true." This result made me feel a little melancholy, and I regret not taking more time.

"Oh no, don't make that look; you'll make me weep.I'm always at home, so come visit me there.Marylin tipped toed and tousled my hair a little,it was gentle but a cute gesture.

' I don't know why but the more the time I spend with her, the more she seems cute to me,' I thought.

"Yeah,then I'll inform my parents about this."I said this and thanked her for the efforts she put in for me, we parted ways there and Marylin left in the direction of her house while I walked to my house, she looked a little sad though.

....

Ding dong

My father left the house a little early today due to business linked to the store, so when I rang the doorbell, my mother answered it and gave me a warm smile. I went inside and headed to the dining room table.

Mom said, "Wait here, I'll get you breakfast quickly," and she entered the kitchen and came out with my breakfast in hand.

The brunch, as usual, appeared delectable and enticing.

After finishing my meal, I called out, "Mom," wanting to tell her what had happened.

"Hmm? My mother, who is seated directly across from me at the dining table, asked,

"What is it, ruu?"

I told her about today's activities and everything that happened, including how I managed to kill a Thargtusk by myself, which caused my mother to experience an odd mixture of joy and awe. I also told her about Marylin's statement that she can no longer tutor me because I have finished all the basic training, and that I want to leave after tomorrow, to which my mother gave me an incredibly sad look.

"Ruu, I know I might sound selfish after what I promised, but could you stay until like this weekend since it's a pretty important day," Mom requested that I stay a little while longer,

"What important day?" I asked, If I recall correctly, I said that nothing crucial would require my presence.

"Oh, you've forgotten, honey? Your birthday is this coming weekend." Mom added, hiding her worries over my choice with a broad smile. Observing her efforts to persuade me to stay, I responded,

"Okay, fine, I'll stay, but I'll leave the next day, deal?" I remarked that since it had already been decided at month's end but I had started my training a little early, it wouldn't make a difference if I left after this weekend.

"Yaay!!" Mom hugged me enthusiastically while attempting to properly hug me from that side of the table.

' staying a day or more won't hurt,' I thought, I am also a little happy about this, just a little.... maybe too happy.

Since I can't remember when was the last time when someone properly celebrated my birthday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Phew," I plopped on my soft bed and got up immediately as I remembered something.

Hey, are you done with it?" I asked. Blaze has been quiet for a while now. After the battle with the first Thargtusk, I thought I told him to do a survey of my body internally, and he said he has a surprise for me.

When fighting Thargtusk, I noticed something unusual when I was chanting for Inferno Bolt.

I felt a small current of electricity in the pulse below the base of my thumb, just lightly but with an alien feeling.

"Princess, I want you to conjure an inferno bolt in your hand right now," Blaze said as soon as he came out of my chest.

"Right now? we are in my room, dude. What if something catches fire?" I am reluctant to do so. It's not wise to use spells in your own home, and more so if they are fire spells.

"It's important; just do it." Blaze is getting on my nerves. This better be important or I am getting rid of this parasite....umm when I know how to do that.

I immediately conjured the spell, and for your kind information, I am not sitting on my bed; I am standing in the centre of my room to avoid getting the fire on anything like curtains and bedsheets.

"Increase its density," Blaze said. What he meant by increasing density was to try adding more power while maintaining the current size. I did it.

"More," Blaze was not satisfied with just this, so he told me to add more.

Zup

"Tch tch Not enough; I said get every fuc*ing ounce of your mana to do it." Blaze clicked his tongue. This dude wanted me to concentrate my whole energy into a single spell, and I did it.

"And now compress it." Blaze ordered,

"Nope,this is a lot of concentrated power, and if I compress it even further,then it's going to explode." I am sure that explosion will send me on the wall just like those shockwaves when I set Blaze free from that dagger, but worse.

"Don't worry,now your body can channel this now, so just do it." What does he mean by my body can channel what it needs now? Huh? Is there any change in my body?

"Fine,"I agreed,

I tried to compress the whole spell into a smaller space, and I saw it then,

Zzzzzch 

I could feel my arm starting to tingle as the fire began to gradually turn white in colour and the temperature rose.

Suddenly,

BOOM 

But it was merely a current of wind, not a shockwave that shook the entire room. An enigmatic white energy was coiling around my arm as I fixed my attention on my hand.

"Lightning!!!" What type of odd look am I making at this very moment? I can imagine.
