4 Chapter 1-2

It's been three years since Tenma was picked up. By the way, the man who brought Heavenly Horse is Ricardo by name. I'm a hunter. His wife said Sealia, two of whom apparently were former adventurers and quite powerful. There are many other former adventurers in this village.

The population of the village is approximately 200. More than 150 of its former adventurers. There are large forests where quality herbs can be harvested in small villages but nearby agriculture, and the villagers, who are bright in geography and former adventurers, make a profit by collecting their own herbs and giving directions to those who seek them, so they could not be described as wealthy, but they had no difficulty living.

Tenma had recently been allowed to walk alone in the village. Until then, my mother (Sealia) followed me everywhere and wouldn't let go of my hand. I had not yet been allowed to go to the woods by myself, but I was nevertheless delighted to be able to walk freely by myself.

"Ooh, Tenma, come here."

The villagers who noticed Heavenly Horse call out. It looks like you're coming home from the hunt. There are a few mountain birds on your shoulder.

"Hello Uncle Mark"

"Ooh, hello. Look, Tenma, it's a big hunt! We got five Malbirds."

I don't like flying with Malbirds but they are delicious birds about 1-2 kg in size with fast legs.

"Well, Ricardo had pigged three malbirds, but he'll be back soon, so let's get ready to dismantle and wait."

This Uncle Mark is also a former adventurer and seems to know his father (Ricardo) from that time. Have me tell you how to handle a bow while you wait. I can't pull a bow for adults right now, but I think I'm saving up for experience. My dad came while I was dealing with the bow.

"Dad, welcome back to the big hunt."

"Tenma, let your mother make you a treat today!

Dad was in a good mood and laughing as he took the pig out of the bag he put on his shoulder. I still find it uncomfortable that nearly 200 kg of pigs come out of the bag.

"It's as handy as ever. I envy the Magic Bag."

Father who cares about what Uncle Mark says. This is a treasure I had a hard time obtaining as an adventurer, and it seems to be a difficult substitute to make even with a first-rate wizard. The effect is excellent for storing anything other than creatures up to 500 kg (not including insects and micro-organisms that are parasitic to corpses, etc., or those with insignificant life activity like eggs).

"It's a handy tool, but I'm surprised it's an intermediate bag."

As my father himself said, in this world, there are categories like "inferior," "intermediate," "advanced," "premium," "super," "epic," "divine," and this category applies to magic.

"Speaking of which, have you heard, Ricardo? I hear Merlin's grandfather will be back soon."

"You're the grandfather of 'Sage'! It's my first ear. It's been about ten years since you left here."

"Who's the grandfather of Sage?

Ricardo and Mark answered Heavenly Horse's question with their mouths shut.

"" A freak. ""

Mark on the answer that doesn't get the guidelines,

"The mightiest wizard in history, famous as a stranger, used to live in this village."

"In the past, when demons were flooded from the dungeons, there were stories of bare walking into the city alone and repelling them, and when I saw the king, he was not wearing anything under his robe, and he was walking wide through the city with a cloak of pants"

Heard about Ricardo, Tenma,

(You're a naked pervert, not a freak)

I thought so.

"Ah, he rarely had the 'protection of the martial arts' for a post-wizard"

He was a Heavenly Horse slightly convinced by Mark's words with

"Well more than that, let's dismantle the pigs and bake half of them and eat them all, Mark will light them, Tenma will call the neighbors to come"

"That's good, but I didn't bring the flint stone today."

"Then I can't help it, then Mark will judge the pig. Because I can magically set fire to it."

I think Heavenly Horse is a good opportunity to hear that.

"Dad, I want to light a fire, teach me magic."

And when I said it, Ricardo thought about it a little bit and was supposed to tell me that as magic, it was an initial step.

"Okay, but there are a lot of people who can't use magic, so I'll tell you what I don't care if I can't, and if I can, I won't use it on my own without an adult, if I can protect this."

"Okay! I promise!

To the words Ricardo nodded and asked Mark to go get the neighbors.

"Look, first calm your mind and put your fingers close where you want to set the fire, then imagine the fire and put it into words, 'O fire'"

The fallen leaves that Ricardo was collecting when he uttered the word caught fire.

"That's all the procedure is, because it's simple magic. The important thing is to clearly picture the fire, do it."

Keep your fingers close to the fallen leaves, thinking it's pretty simple for Ricardo to teach you.

"'Fire.'"

And the moment I spoke, at once the fallen leaves caught fire and a small explosion broke out. Tenma rolled back to the unexpected event. Ricardo was also amazed and solidified, but immediately checked the area and held Tenma up.

"Tenma! Are you okay!

It was Ricardo who rushed to confirm it, but luckily there were no injuries, etc. to Tenma, so he was relieved. Sealia, who had been called there by Mark, rushed over, too.

"Tenma! What happened! No injuries!

Ricardo was explaining the situation to the panicking Sealia, but he was mistaken for teaching Tenma attack magic and pissed off.

Having grasped the situation by Ricardo's desperate explanations and Tenma's explanations, Shelia was convinced that it felt like something like a bump.

"Let's just talk about this at night, cook the pigs and have dinner."

"Okay."

As for the magic of Heavenly Horse, he had dinner with the neighbors who had gathered together once he had cut it up.

That night, Ricardo and Sealia were discussing making sure Tenma slept

"I think it's too early to teach Tenma magic."

Seelia insists that we shouldn't teach magic until Tenma is a little older.

Ricardo, on the other hand,

"I think I should actively teach magic the other way around"

and said the opposite.

"I think Tenma has quite a few magical qualities asleep. Normally, the more magic you burn, the more powerful it is without attack magic."

"That's why I think it's dangerous not to tell you when you're older."

"Seelia, I know full well that you are so magical that you cannot compare to me. But Tenma would also be superior to me at the moment. And even your magic will exceed your temper in a few years. I think it's so qualitative."

"What are you basing it on?

"My former adventurer."

"Look..."

"Can't you believe it?

"No, I believe you, because I used to be helped by your suspicions so many times, but..."

"Seelia, I hate to say this, but Tenma's not our real child, but maybe tomorrow we'll have real parents. Sometimes a good man is a bad man. You may then look at the qualities of the Tenma and try to abuse them, then you should teach Tenma how to protect herself. If you have a sharp knife, it's better to teach it from the ground up in an eye position than to be used in your own stream where you don't know it, for the sake of temper or for us."

"... ok"

"We'll talk to Tenma tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, but for a while, I'm gonna teach you a lesson."

"Oh, I'm going to teach you a little bit from how to move your body, make it magic, make it martial arts, because you should at least know how to use your body"

Thus it was Ricardo and Sealia who were going to determine Tenma's educational policy.
