Volume 2: Red Girl

“Master, take care of Kris.”

“Yes, you’re in charge.”

Callus left the exhausted Kris in the care of his Master, Gory, and stood alone in front of the Flying Dragon.

The Flying Dragon was a little startled by the sudden appearance of a human, but it quickly lowered itself into a fighting stance.

“Gurulu…”

It let out a low, terrifying roar.

However, Callus did not back off and faced it bravely.

Naturally, Kris saw this and did not remain silent.

“It’s impossible, Callus! Please run away! ”

Meanwhile, Gory stopped her from rushing into the battlefield, otherwise she would have gone to the Flying Dragon again.

“I’ll take care of your wounds, so calm down.”

“Why did you let Callus go alone? If you’re his Master, you should help him as soon as possible!”

Gory shook his head and replied.

“It’s not the role of the teacher to remove all obstacles; sometimes it’s the role of the teacher to push them away and give them challenges. And look, Callus is no longer just a weak child.”

Gory knew that Callus was trying to break out of his shell. That is why he chose to just watch over him as he deals with the situation himself, even if he was worried. He knows that the path Callus would tread would be a thorny one, and he must learn to walk out on his own.

Nevertheless, Gory was ready to help Callus if he got into a tight spot.

“Good luck, Callus…”

Out of the corner of Gory’s eye, Callus was breathing slowly.

This was the first Flying Dragon he’d ever seen. Naturally, he’s feeling fear.

However, he also felt just as much excitement. This was the perfect opportunity to find out how much he had grown.

“Guru…!”

The first one to make a move was the Flying Dragon. It kicked the ground with its thick feet and rushed straight towards Callus.

It then opened its mouth wide and attacked, ready to take a swig.

Seeing this, Callus spoke to his partner, who was standing nearby.

“It’s coming, Serena.”

“Leave it to me!”

They breathed together and started casting magic.

Callus pictured the image of a powerful body. A body that is strong and unyielding. The two of them then shared this image, and through the Light Magic, the image is reflected back into reality.

“~Body of Light~!”

A golden light enveloped Callus’ body. It is the blessing of light that raises his physical abilities and also gives him the power to resist darkness.

Although his physical abilities are still low, this magic allows him to temporarily gain physical abilities higher than those of an ordinary adult.

“—- Hah!”

With this power, Callus quickly leapt to the side, dodging the fangs of the Flying Dragon. He then aimed for the Flying Dragon’s jaw…

“Sei~tsu!”

He punched it as hard as he could.

The Flying Dragon was caught off guard by the blow and lost its balance, before falling to the ground.

“Ichichi… My fist hurts.”

“You fool! Who would hit a Flying Dragon with their bare hands?”

“Haha, just kidding.”

As I was talking to Serena, the Flying Dragon stood up. The Flying Dragon’s brain may have been shaken by the blow, making it a little wobbly, but it still looked healthy.

“It seems like it’s still rearing to go. Callus, you can still go, can’t you?

“Of course, I still have a lot of magic power.”

Callus said, urging his magical power once more.

He has just started to learn magic and can’t use a lot of magic yet, just basic and some applied magic; far from being a professional.

But once Master said, “Magic is not about numbers. As long as you have a good foundation, you can handle any situation.”

Therefore, Callus was not in a hurry. He believes that the “Light Magic” that he has learned with his will to die will protect him.

“~Let There Be Light~”

One by one, balls of light began to appear.

In the blink of an eye, these floating balls of light increased in numbers… eventually filling the area around Callus.

The number is around 30 balls. This was the most Callus could currently control.

Kris, who has also dabbled a little in magic, was immensely impressed by it.

“No way… how can he control so many…?!”

It is a difficult task to manipulate more than one magic spell. Trying to control two at the same time is as difficult as solving a puzzle with the left hand and writing letters with the right.

And yet, Callus was able to control 30 of them at the same time. This is something that even the best wizards can’t do so easily.

Meanwhile, Gory proudly watched his disciple in action.

“Ho ho. I don’t like to use this word very much, but he is a genius! ”
