Best Magic
Episode 12: Purpose of Life

(huh ahhhh.).

(my head is heavy)

(what happened?!)

(remember, I was fighting with that arrogant teacher

and ah.-

where is he now?!)

Haaah..

"...."

(he left the little boy who fainted alone here, you heartless bastard.

All right, it's getting dark I gotta get back)

(uh...!)

(whatever why

the ground I lay on was so soft.)

"Eh. uh...

What the hell is this..??

Everything why.-.

Why is it black..??!"

Rozt only realized that he had been asleep on a strange black object.

"Son, are you conscious?!

rudiments...

just worry about me."

"Ehhh...?!"

The black thing slowly formed a human form.

"Uncle?!

what are you really?!"

Rozt was surprised to see it.

a creature that can imitate human beings.

"Ah....

where did I explain it, huh?

it's hard to explain how he knows!

I'm not such a theorist

so I made it short

I'm the Slime

that's all."

"Deeeeehh?!!

that all??!!

you should have explained to me in detail I don't understand."

"I told you I had a hard time explaining

if you're still confused just ask your teacher for an explanation at the academy"

"ahh well...

But why are you showing me your true form?"

"Hahaha like her I'm too much.

You almost died from my blow

so I laid your body on top of me so that I could heal your wounds.

you know, if an ordinary healer were to treat you you would only recover in 10 days, but with my method it would only take half a day to recover

Well, it's all my fault for overdoing it.

I just didn't expect a kid to surprise me like that."

"Hehh...

I don't care what's important I've won our bet, do I?"

"of course.

I can happily teach a genius in the future.

But do you know what's lacking in you right now?"

"Physical and Stamina.

I was so weak on that part.

in a long-term fight my chances of winning are 0%."

"You're right!

In that case you're really bad.

under such conditions you will not be able to control the dark magic at all.

Dark magic is known as a magic technique that endangers its users.

so before I teach you how to control your dark magic.

I'll train your physique first.

You mind?"

"Cih. not at all.

So how long do you think I can be a strong person.?"

"Hoyy, don't be in a hurry!

being strong requires a long process.

I think you're pretty good.

at your current age you've been able to control lightning magic quite well."

"I see, the lightning isn't actually magic at all"

"What do you mean?!"

"That driver is my body, I was like I was born with those thunderbolts uncle"

"Woe....

woeee..!!!

that means you don't even need mana to control it?"

"You're right!

I can freely use it at any time."

"Haha!!

That's insane

what a crazy power!

But why do you look so exhausted after having your lightning shot before?"

"That's a different thing.

to make a lightning shot it requires a lot of energy

if imagined as pushing a big rock."

"haha!!!

if you can master the full potential of your strange powers.

I can't guess how strong you'll be"

Rozt just smiled with his words

Slowly the man approached rozt.

"Ohya, I haven't told you my name yet right?

My name is Trazen

greetings yes"

Trazen brought his mouth closer to Rozt's ear, whispering something to him.

"So what's your goal?"

"Huh??"

"I'm asking you one more time

What's your goal?"

"Let's know, I haven't thought of things like that"

I think whatever goal you can reach"

(he was right, from now on I have to be serious about my goals, besides that I also have to run the mission given by Goddess Athena.)

Trazen now sat leaning against a large tree and began to stare seriously at rozt.

"i don't really know the matter of the kingdom, but if you choose to become a king in this kingdom, forget it. it's just a waste of time. Looking at the current situation, it's a waste of time, you won't be able to occupy the king's seat, but behind it, maybe you can become the strongest in the world and master it as the Strongest ruler"

"Well...?!

I am not interested in power.

I just want to live freely

and complete my obligations, that's all."

Trazen nodded his brows and smiled at rozt.

"Hooh really?!

so you don't want to rule this gormund kingdom at all, prince?"

"of course, I have absolutely no interest in that. I just want to make sure this throne falls on the right person

and not bring any calamity to this kingdom.

"So who are you referring to?!"

rozt sighed for a moment and leaned against the tree with the trazen.

"First prince, lim Rionel.

I want to make sure the throne falls on him."

"mmm...

I don't think it's easy.

prince 3 won't let that happen, will he?"

rozt gulped my saliva because of his statements that seemed to know his heart.

"that's why I'm here.

for now maybe that's my only goal."

"Interesting...

Very interesting!!

All right, you asked me how long it takes to be strong, right?!"

"True, have you found out uncle's answer?!"

"12"

"12??!"

"Yes 12, I'll make sure you're the strongest in the kingdom"

"are you really sure uncle?!"

"From now on don't call me uncle. Just call me master!!!"

"Well....

I'm a little unsure.

but fine whatever so that I can be strong, master"

~12 Year Later~

(12 years after I trained under master supervision, many things have happened.)

(Every day of my training feels like hell.pain, fatigue, and also Equality.)

(I learned it all in my 12 years to achieve my goals.)

(in the meantime Lambert had become a great knight in the kingdom and led a small army in particular.)

(as well as the porter, thanks to the help of my father, he was also made a knight.

she has a unique ability that made my father interested in her.)

(On my training holiday.

I always play with lambert and porter diistana.

we consider each other as brothers.

Lambert also gave Porter a job as a right-hand man in his army)

(While the throne war is still not going on because the condition of the father is still very good.

the higher-ups decided to postpone it to the next few years.)

(But as expected of the throne war, all the princes were prepared to follow him.)

(i was just trying to help the first prince win it, but you wouldn't let that happen.

he told me to make my own side.)

(For now you could say I only have lambert and Porter on my side.

but that's enough because my real goal is not victory.)

(While leiya.

she's not the little sister I used to know, for some reason since I practiced regularly with masters her nature changed.

even in the academy and in the palace we rarely greet each other

he decided not to go to war on any side)

(And.).

(This is my last day of training with the master.)

"rozt, this is the last day we train.

in 12 years you've grown beyond my own expectations

There's nothing more I can teach you.

I also wish you could reach your goal whatever it is."

(the master hugged me tightly while dripping his tears on my shoulder.)

"I'm so grateful to you master.

you've made me this far.

I wish I could repay you for this one day."

Master Trazen let go of his embrace and drank in a long chair.

"Rozts

I'm glad you said that.

whether this is a request or anything.

but I want to ask you one thing."

Rozt nodded slowly at what he said.

"if you meet someone named Tian Mei and he looks in trouble, please help him. I have a debt of gratitude to him."

"How does the master look?"

"Hmmm...

like what, huh?!

ah, she is a jolly woman yet very jutek with strangers."

"Well master, if I meet her I'll try to help her."

suddenly master Trazen noticed rozt from top to bottom.

"haha!

I did not expect a little prince who resembled a girl, to now be a strong man.

Even now that you've cut your hair, you now look like a real man."

"Bright...

that's a compliment or what's the master?!"

"Hahaha, don't think about it."

"All right then"

~Bye...!

he waved his hand and slowly disappeared from before the rozt.

(I don't know what difficulties will be waiting for me from now on.

whatever it is.

I'm ready to face it.)

(and whatever my next goal is.

I won't let you down

Goddess Athena)
