121 Ch. 121 'Kazuto Is A Wizard?'

Early in the morning, Kazuto had returned to his human form while Lionel immediately probing the man to find out what happened last night. Kazuto recounted the incident where the daemons appeared and kidnapped Niken to be their food, making Lionel wide-eyed.

"Why didn't you say that you also become weak when an eclipse occurs?"

Kazuto sighed at the tinge of anger at Lionel. He understood the reason why the man was angry, he was even very angry with himself.

"Sorry. I am careless, this will not be repeated again."

"You should be, or else, no one could handle a darkened heart of Knight of the Beast." for a second there, Lionel felt his heart stopped when he heard the daemons succeed in taking his students' vitality.

Gosh! How careless they are bringing Niken out of this shield protection while Kazuto was in a cripple state.

Now he understood why Kazuto's energy flow was unstable. It turned out that the man's energy instability was because he had given most of his vitality to Niken.

A typical Elementalist knight. They would do anything to protect and make their inamorata happy even if their lives were at stake.

"Then how did you find Niken? Weren't you strengthless at the time?"

"..."

"I hope you don't hide anything from me if you truly want to protect Niken."

Kazuto took a deep breath before finally deciding to tell the man about the ability he had been hiding.

"I called the Supreme Alpha."

"Alpha? You mean the familiar spirit of your clan? Hasn't Alpha been unseen for hundreds of years?"

"Yes, but I still can call him and also... coincidentally, he is in this area."

"And you expect me to believe it? The only people who can summon Supreme Alpha are wizards. You are not a wizard, and you are also not a descendant of a wizard, how could you call him?"

Kazuto gritted his teeth and then concentrated on gathering his 'forbidden' energy source. Then Kazuto glanced at his feet, making Lionel come to see what Kazuto was looking at.

The last stage of a green magic circle appeared under Kazuto's feet, causing Lionel's jaw to fall down in shock.

"You ... You can create magic circles! You are a wizard?! How is this possible?"

"I have no idea. Long before I became a knight, I already had this magic."

Lionel's jaw fell lower as he listened to Kazuto's talking. Lionel gawked on Kazuto from head to toe. There was nothing unusual about this man. The black hair, black eyes, and energy aura emitted by this young man were the average air of the Elementalists.

"Have you ever used magic?"

Kazuto shook his head. "No. I could only create magic circles but never use them. To be precise, every time I use it, I will have a high fever for a week."

"Unless?"

"Unless you manage to gain Supreme Alpha ownership, you can use both of your powers without worry."

Kazuto's brow frowned at that. "I think that it's impossible to do. The Supreme Alpha that we are talking about is black-fur and also... someone had already claimed the ownership."

Though he could make a contract with new generation white Supreme Alpha, but Kazuto decided to keep it for himself.

"That's really bad."

"Why do I feel you look more excited knowing I had magic?"

"It's just your feeling. Don't overthink this. Let's focus on Niken's training." Lionel deliberately changed the subject so that Kazuto did not ask further questions.

"About Niken's training, Alpha's owner told me that Niken is also a wizard. He said it would be better if Niken uses her magic."

"All the time-controllers do use magic to stop time. So don't be surprised if that person called Niken wizards."

"That person also said that Niken's magic is very great. Her scent was the one who lured the daemons the most."

Lionel paused, pondering this info. He knew that basically time-controllers, as well as Time Masters used magic as the main foundation of their strength. But still, their magic was so weak that it was impossible to create a magic circle.

Lionel became curious about the owner of Supreme Alpha. To what extent did this man know about the magic abilities of the Time Masters. The average Time Master magic cultivation is not that strong when compared to other wizards. So doing this training using magic will still be in vain.

Moreover, the daemons were attracted to Niken's magic, which was impossible as Niken couldn't make a single magic circle.

"It should still make no difference if Niken uses her magic or not. As long as she can't create the magic circle, her magic won't adequately build the resistance barrier. But I'd like to try testing her."

"Testing her?"

"We'll see if Niken's magic is as big as that person says or not."

"Is it dangerous?"

"..." There was a moment of silence between them. "Kazuto, if we are serious about knowing her magical abilities, you should harden your heart. Or you might as well no need to see it when I test her."

"Why not just tell her to use her magic? Why do you have to test her?"

"The training methods using the aura of astral resistance and using magic are very different. If I train her by using magic even though she doesn't have a magic circle, she will die the minute she summons the defense aura."

"Then there's no need to use magic. Just use the method according to the plan." Kazuto changed his mind as soon as he knew the risks Niken had to face if their training methods changed.

"I would also like to if we have half a year. You realize we only have less than three months to hide here, while Niken still hasn't finished the second phase of this training. Niken still has to undergo three other phases before she finally creates her time-spacial dimension. But if she uses magic, she doesn't need to go through these five stages and directly create the time-spatial."

In other words, Lionel hoped that Niken did have great magic in her body so that the girl could immediately create her own time-spatial.

After that, they would have more time to travel around the continent to increase Niken's time zone's range. The farther Niken explored, the broader her time zone's range was.

"Lionel, I understand what you mean. But why do I feel that you have other intentions? I feel like you have something to hide from me? To be more precise, I could see your eager eyes when you heard Niken's magic."

"..."

Lionel bit his tongue in silence. He never expected that Kazuto would notice the change in his expression.

"You saw wrong." Lionel replied denying Kazuto's accusations. "We should go back, Niken has woken up."

Without giving Kazuto the chance to react, Lionel turned around to approach Niken, who looked confused.

"Hi, Niken, you're awake."

"Good morning, sir Lionel. I thought you guys went down the mountain. Why are you there?"

Niken was surprised to not find anyone in the house when she woke up this morning. Now she even found the two men talking to each other seriously in the corner some distance from the position of the house made by Lionel.

The atmosphere between the two seemed tense and tight, especially when Kazuto's expression was very dark as if he had gotten bad news.

"Niken, today, we will change the way we practice. I want to verify something."

Niken tilted her head in confusion. Verify what? Why is Kazuto's expression getting darker?

"I won't let you hurt her." suddenly Kazuto was standing next to Niken with his hands wrapped around her waist protectively.

"I won't hurt her. You also know that."

"You expect me to believe that?"

"..." Uhm, why does Niken feel like she's in a battle area?

Niken knew Kazuto and Lionel often argued, but their fights were never as strenuous as this.

What happened?

"Did I miss something? Why are you putting on such tense faces?"

Lionel immediately cleared his throat while Kazuto put a flat face making Niken even more confused.

"Sir Lionel, when you say you want to verify something, what kind of thing do you mean?"

"I want to see if you have magic in your body or not?"

"Why do you think I have magic? I'm not a wizard."

"That's not true. All time-controllers are descended from low caste wizards. Because their rank was low, their magic could not be identified at all. They also can't make magic circles."

"Then?"

"I want to know if your magic is big enough to create a magic circle or not."

"How?"

"By attacking you using magic."

Both Kazuto and Niken gasped. Attack her using magic? Whose magic? Lionel couldn't be possible to have magic, right?
