[After the funeral is over]

“Thank you again for what you did to Mei, Village Shuryō. I cannot respond to what you did to us and him.” Bennett

Shuryō is the name that the villagers call the chief of the village

“Yes, thank you, from the bottom of my heart,” Liza

"Stop the two of you. Mei was a part of the village as well, and it is our duty as its people, so let us give him a decent farewell" Shuryō

His eyes watered

“He was a really good kid why only the good people go first” Shuryō

He wipes away his tears

“Okay, I have to go now, take care of yourself and don't bring troubles upon you,” Shuryō

They both perform a greeting of respect

Of course, take care of yourself too, Shuryō.

“Liz I think we need to chart our paths before entering the Academy,” Bennett 

“What does that mean?”Liza

“I mean, we have to get stronger before the Academy Entrance Test, we are already eight years old so we have two years to prepare. ”Bennett

“Yes we should, so what are you up to ?!” Liza

“Me ?! I was going to ask you first for your opinion, but okay, I'll tell you,” Bennett 

.....

Lisa screaming surprised

“Huh, you would like to ask Mei's father to train you,” Liza

"Yes, since we both have the element of fire, I would like to understand it more and know all the abilities that I can reach in addition to being an expert in the sword" Bennett

“I see!!” Liza

“How about you? Have you decided what to do,” Bennett 

" Not yet, but there is a place called Oclaline where the healing can be learned. I might go there after all I would like to become a healer" Liza

“Is it close to here ?!” Bennett

“I don’t think so because I’ve heard from some people that if you want to get there, it’s a three-day on the horse and seven days walking, so it's a bit far away.” Liza

Surprising

“Ah ... I see” Bennett 

“So ...” Liza

"Hmph?!” Bennett

"When will you ask him to train you?"Liza

“I don’t know ?!” Bennett

“You don’t know ?! You are stupid. muster up your courage and tell him” Liza

“I plan to take a long while,” Bennett 

"Ben...”Liza

She Slapped him

He is angry

"What do you think now when you hit me?"

Respond calmly and earnestly

"Either now or never. If you don't do it now, don't dream that you can do it in the future. If Mei didn't make up his choice quickly, and at that moment, all of us would perish." Liza

He lowers his head

“W ... well I think you're right, Bennett”

And she is smiling

“Oh, how tiring it is to deal with idiots,” Liza

"Who are you calling idiot?!"Bennett

"Do you see anyone except you?"Liza

Trying to catch her

"Come here" Bennett

Flee from him

“Bye, Ben” Liza

“By the way, when are you leaving ?!” Bennett

Shout out from afar

"I'll collect my things today and go tomorrow."

"I see" Bennett

Screams

"Liiiiz" Bennett

"Hm ?!" Liza

He points with his hand towards her

“At our next meeting, no one will definitely stand up to us, so until then we will become stronger together For Mei’s will continues” Bennett

She screams, smiling again

“Certainly,” Liza

Then they leave each to his home to prepare for the next step

[Tomorrow morning]

Lisa bade farewell to her parents and the villagers and then left with a chauffeur aboard a rickshaw towards Oclaline, which lies roughly between the borders of Falmine and the neutral kingdom of Geptaria.

[At Bennett’s House]

While Bennett was preparing to tell Kaen about his request

He shows himself in the mirror

“Well, like Liz said, either today or never cheer, Bennett, let's go.”

Head towards Mei's house

After he arrived, he hits the door

“How inconvenient a lot of people visit us recently,” Kaen

"Darling, can you open the door? I'm busy," Mizuki 

"Okay Okay" Kaen

[In his mind]

"What an inconvenience"

"Who’s there," Kaen

No one answered

Shout

"Didn't you hear me say who’s there" Kaen

The door opens hard

“Are you deaf ...” Kaen

surprised

"Oh, that's you, kid."Kaen

“Hey sir” Bennett

"Huh, so what do you want to come here and bother me?"Kaen

Bends his head

“I'm very sorry for the inconvenience,” Bennett 

“Let go of him and come in, my son. He likes playing the bully,” Mizuki

"I'm serious," Kaen

She says sarcastically

“Hay Hay” Mizuki

Kaen and Bennett both sit down

“So what brought you here, kid?!”Kaen

Nervous

“Actually,” Bennett 

"I hope you will take me as your student if you don't mind," Bennett 

surprised

“Huhh?!” Kaen

Bends his head

"I promise that I will stick to the exercises and will never fail anything you teach me or ask of me." Bennett

“Wait ... what are you saying, ”Kaen

“So please just accept me as your student” Bennett

"Kid, I am not a master, I have no experience with students, and I am not as strong as you thought."Kaen

"I have no problem"Bennett

Laugh

"What stubborn you remind me so much of Mei" Kaen

“But despite that, I cannot accept you. I only trained Mei because he is my son and I know how to deal with him, and I have never improved him but he has developed himself.” Kaen

 Bennett gets up and a serious supple is on his face

“As I said, sir, I don't care about all this,” Bennett 

“Well if you're bent .this way, follow me out. ”Kaen

“Okay” Bennett

“Let's go to a place a little wide,” Kaen

After they went away and went to an empty place

“As I remember your element is fire isn't it? ”Kaen

“Yes” Bennett

“Well now I will show you one of my techniques, and if I mastered it within one week, I will admit you as a student of mine, but if you fail, you should look for another master. ”Kaen

"Deal," Bennett 

silence

Fire Element: Flame Burst 

Flame Burst is a technique in which the user creates fire like a volcano eruption from his hand and shoot it straight ahead 

Kaen fired a large and dense fire towards the sky, causing it to rain with steam

"Oh, it's raining !! So this is Mei's father's strength, what a terrifying power, it is not his strongest technique. Great." Bennett

“I’m overdoing it a little.”Kaen

Sarcastically

“Just a little bit ?!” Bennett

"Now this is the skill. You do not have to imitate the same amount or density. You just have to understand the basis of the technique and remember that if you want to form magic, you must understand the essence of the element and the technique that you want to do both. in short, you have to be a friend with your element" Kaen

"I'll take your advice into consideration, and it only takes three days to do it," Bennett 

"Three days? I do not advise you to exhaust yourself, as this technique, in particular, requires a huge amount of mana, in addition to a huge concentration to run it through the paths, so be careful." Kaen

"Yeah" Bennett

“I know, but if I can't do it in three days, I don't deserve to call myself your student, "Bennett

"Do whatever you want. I'm leaving," Kaen

Then Kaen returned home

"What have you been doing?"Mizuki

"Nothing. I set a condition for my teaching him  to master the skill of flame burst in seven days" Kaen

Angry scream

"Are you crazy? You know more than anyone the implications of this technique on the body, and you asked him to learn it" Mizuki

"That's right, it was gonna cost me my hand, but for him, he wouldn't have a problem. When I sensitive his mana, I felt something strange as if he was born to be part of the fire element, so I think it won't take much to learn it" Kaen

“But…” Mizuki

“Also, if learning this technology, it will facilitate learning of advanced and dangerous techniques. It is considered a gateway to the thin element of fire because it strengthens the clinging and relationship of the fire element to mana as it frees the inner closed paths of the person.”Kaen

"So it is the best skill to start with, but as I said, its risks far outweigh other techniques if it is not recommended to learn it."Kaen

“As for him, I think he will be fine. He is a rival of my son after all.” Kaen

“I will trust your decision,” Mizuki
