Chapter 16 Magic is Fun

It's been a week since the last time I went to the south forest, the memory of me losing against the magical beast really can't be forgiven. How can I protect big sis and everyone if I'm weak like this

I decided to practice all by myself when I had time, even in my room at night.

The winter makes the store not too crowded, only peoples from the neighborhood who came over and bought a warm bread and soup, it's a special food we serve in the store this winter.

"Uncle said there was an acquaintance of him who wanted to meet me, I wonder what he looks like"

I'm doing a light exercise in my room, I recall yesterday Uncle Alto came over our place and brought us stuff, he even gave us new winter clothes.

Today the store was closed early, Ilya big sis went to the inn to greet Uncle Alto, he said he will be going to the other town to do some business.

Since nobody else home, I think it's the best opportunities to train outside, big sis always told me not to go outside too long because she doesn't want me to catch a cold.

I always forgot to tell big sis that I able to use a cold resistance, I guess I will tell her later

I put on my winter clothes, I went to the kitchen and drink a glass of water, I went to the backyard and can feel the cold air is touching my skins.

[ Cold resistance ]

The weather is surely becoming colder than before, I guess the winter sure is starting already.

Every year at this time, it will be snowing, and everyone has to close their store because of it.

I take off my winter clothes so I would be able to move freely, I feel like I need to learn a martial art, so I would be able to defend myself at least, that's what Uncle Alto told me.

I'm trying my best so I will protect Ilya-nee, uncle always said that I have to be a man that my sister can rely on.

I started by doing some weapon training since I was able to form one using magic, I can train it easily every time I wanted to.

I feel like I can do anything with a hand weapon such as knives, sword, staff, and even a spear.

I feel like my body moving on its own when I'm using a weapon.

I made a training buddy that made of hay, I'm doing a basic martial art training and target practice because there's gonna be a lot of magical beasts that might attack the village because I recall a memory when Uncle said something about magical beast will come out from the forest in the winter.

I saw a few adventurers who went to the south forest, some of them always back with a bad injury and they went to the inn in the village.

The injured adventurers who went to the inn make people around the neighborhood concerned about their safety since the adventurers who went to the forest is the one told the story themselves.

Some people in the neighborhood even decided to move from this village and went to the other village, and some even went to the capital.

Uncle also concerned with my and Ilya-nee's safety, he told us to stay in the inn in the capital, but Ilya-nee refuses to do so, she said she won't go anywhere, because this house is her and my only home.

The village feels so quiet, only the inn that the adventurers use to spend the night is the place that people went in and out.

I'm sitting in silent and starts thinking about Yuika, she's not here and I always worried about her safety.

I remember Yuika run to our store and crying, her family decides to go to their relative's place in the winter, they went to the next door kingdom that Uncle usually went to do business there.

I learn more about magic and keep training, both physical ability and my magic ability.

I've been practicing new magic that is really interesting.

It allows me to make a clone of magic I control, so basically, it doubles the magic itself.

I've been practicing it and I was able to pull a two clone for my ice creating magic.

I was able to double the flying blade the moment I throw it, it's really awesome, but the magic power will disappear after a short period of time, I'm still wasn't able to prevent it from disappearing as I did with the original one I created.

I will also be exhausted faster because I need to create the clone of the mana I control.

"SOMEONE... PLEASE HELP..."

I'm still in the middle of training, and someone was yelling in the middle of the meadow near our village.

I saw someone is giving a shoulder walk to another person, I can't really tell who is it but they sure are in trouble.

The one who is giving a shoulder walk seems to notices me, she waves to ask for help.

[ Body enchantment ]

I make myself lighter and I boost my stamina so I would be able to run and get to help those people fast.
