Chapter 652: Giving the Spirits Names

“Wind Spirit and Air Spirit? Are they amazing?” Kron asked curiously.

“Well, we don’t know for sure yet. But at least we know that the wind spirit is the one responsible for the hurricane that surround this place. Veronica, how did you end up fighting them?” I asked Veronica. She’s the one who encountered the spirits first.

“I don’t know. I was just walking around when I feel the wind changed. I feel like someone is attacking me with wind magic, so I just protecting myself,” Veronica said.

Oh, right. When I saw her before, she wasn’t attacking at all. She only did defensive maneuver and never fight back. So it was the wind spirit first who attacked first.

“Well... wind spirit and air spirit, why did you attack my friend? We’re not here to make enemies,” I asked the spirits.

“I’m not fighting her. My brother is the one attacking your friend first,” the air spirit said.

“I was just playing with your friend!” The wind spirit said.

.....

“Playing without asking first. So others will think that you’re attacking her out of nowhere,” the air spirit said.

So the wind spirit was just being playful. I suppose they have the mind of a child.

Their appearance is that of a fairy like in picture books. Small, just about the height of a person’s head, with translucent wings on their back. The wind spirit looks like a small man, while the air spirit look like a small woman.

“Hey, hey! Your wind was so strong! Even stronger than that person when her level is supposed to be higher! How can you do that!?” the wind spirit asked Veronica.

“Huh? Well, I practiced my wind magic and cultivate it somewhere where powerful wind blew once in a while. It’s on the back of a kaiser dragon. Because his body was so big, his wings need to be strong enough so he can stay in the sky,” Veronica replied.

“Kaiser dragon!? I wanna see! I wanna see!” the wind spirit asked Veronica excitedly.

The wind spirit seems to be more childish. As for the air spirit, she seems to be calmer.

“Well... maybe you’ll be able to meet him someday,” Veronica said.

“By the way, what should we call you? Just wind spirit and air spirit? Do you have a name we can call you?” I asked the spirits.

“No. We never have any names. There are only the two of us here with humans occasionally come and left quickly after collecting some stones here,” the air spirit said.

“Name! I want a name! Human, give me a name!” the wind spirit who heard me talking to the air spirit asked me to give them a name. Is it fine to just give them a name? Shelia, Graham, Tia, and Arin have their own names even though they’re monsters. But maybe they have different cultures. Or that spirits and monsters are totally different. Spirits are not monsters.

Well, in any case, I need to have easier way to remember their name. Something that I can easily remember.

“Then, the air spirit will be Airy, and the wind spirit will be Breezy. I can’t call you Windy because that will confuse me with Wendy over there,” I said.

“Breezy! I’m Breezy! Call me Breezy now, Airy!” Breezy excitedly flies around his sister.

“He didn’t put any effort in giving us names. But I don’t hate it,” Airy said.

At least they like their names. Breezy and Airy. It’s easy to remember.

“So, do you live here?” I asked the two spirits.

“Yes! I’m afraid to go out so there’s only the two of us here!” Breezy said.

“I’m just too lazy to move. Though I was also scared as well,” Airy said.

So, while Breezy is energetic, Airy is lazy. Though I wonder what these two are afraid of.

“What were you afraid of?” I asked.

“A long time ago, a mad man come and destroy the landscape just to make a settlement. His earth magic was so powerful that he created this mountain single-handedly. Although we were not in our material form, he always know where we are despite the fact that he’s neither a wind mage nor was he an air mage. Wherever we go, he would chase after us just for fun. To capture us and to show other people that he can catch us. And we would always be freed and tried to escape again only to get caught. And so, we flew high to the sky. And he made this mountain just so he can chase after us,” Airy said.

The spirits’ body were shaking in fear because of the memory of the past. And I understand instantly who the person they were talking about.

That was Timmy. From what I heard from the two ghosts beyond master level, Timmy’s personality is as the two spirits described. That was in the past. Back when he was trying to woo the girls and get everyone’s approval for some reason. Or at least that’s what the death mage told me.

“So, you’re afraid of that guy?” I asked the spirits.

“Yes. He was strong enough. His magic level reached higher than master level,” Airy said.

“Wait, there’s another stage above master level!?” the only one who gets confused was Patricia. The woman who lives in an isolated country.

“Yes. And he’s most likely the one who created Rygis. Or at least he’s the one who brought all the girls who ended up being the founder of your country. I don’t know his real name but I called him Timmy,” I said.

“You know him?” Breezy asked.

“Probably.”

I then explained the characteristic of Timmy to the two spirits. And the two confirmed my assumption.

“So it was really that guy. I heard that he was crazy in the past. And he’s the reason why women in Rygis hate men. Even though he’s dead now, he’s still a pain in the ass,” I said.

“How did you know him? He’s someone who lived for over three thousand years ago! Even though I’m a master level mage, I don’t think I can live for that long,” Patricia said.

“He’s not a master level mage. He’s one stage above that. So his lifespan is much longer then any ordinary master level mage. And not just that. He’s also an Aura Master. With the two traits combined, he could probably live for a few more thousands of years before his lifespan is over if I didn’t kill him,” I said.

“You killed him!? Roy, are you strong!?” Breezy asked. Airy was also interested about it.

“I’m strong, but I don’t think I’m strong enough at the moment. And after hearing all the achievement and trouble that he did, I think he must be holding back his real strength when we fought. That’s why I could win,” I said.

“But you can still defeat him! You’re strong!” Breezy said.

The two spirits then surround me with praises. Of course I happily accept it.

Meanwhile, Patricia asked Shirley about what an Aura is. There are far too many things in the world that she doesn’t know. Though Aura is something that most people never heard of other than from children’s stories in this day. So even if I said I use Aura to fight, unless I show it to them, they won’t believe it.

“Aura is amazing. So that’s why he can be that strong,” Patricia said to herself.

“By the way, is the hurricane your doing?” I asked Breezy.

“Hmm? Oh, that! At first, it was me who did it. But now, even if I didn’t do it on purpose, it will often happen on its own. So if you put me in a jar like before, the hurricane will disappear. But you only need to wait a little longer before another hurricane was created naturally,” Breezy said.

So it means that even if he’s not here, the hurricane can exist naturally in this place. That’s good to know if I want to recruit him. That way, we don’t need Breezy to stay here for the wind mages to improve.

But maybe if they’re with us when we cultivate, either wind element or air element with Airy, our growth rate will improve even better. I’d like to recruit them even more if that’s the case.

Now, how do I get them to join us? Just for the travel is enough. No need for them to fight.

“Hey, if he’s dead now, there shouldn’t be anyone we need to be afraid of. But we’re still afraid of leaving on our own. So, can we join you guys when we’re leaving?”

All of a sudden, Airy asked me to join the group. Instead of me recruiting them, she wants to join us by her own will without being asked.

“Well, that’s fine. But coming with us doesn’t mean it safe. After all, there’s a war happening and we don’t even know if we can win or not,” I said truthfully.

“I want to come to! I don’t care about the war! If that happens, I’ll just escape!” Breezy said.

Well, with this we have recruited two spirits with us. Two more monsters.

Though I still need to explain more about what we do. Because it feels like they are just kids. Though these kids are already over three thousand years old.
