World Destruction Magic

My teacher and savior

I don't know what happened and as I remember I fainted. "Hahh!!!!... where is this!?..." while staring at a place that was unfamiliar to me.

"As I recall, I fainted after being chased by one of the legend's magical creatures, but at the end of it someone came to my rescue". I muttered as I tried to stand up and headed towards a door that seemed to be the outer room of this house.

"Yes, this place looks like an old house, but there are many things together that look like magic items here," I said. And as I tried to open the door, my eyes felt a glare of light that stung my eyes.

"Wahh.. is it morning already! How long have I been unconscious?" I said to myself as I walked outside and watched the sunrise.

And suddenly someone spoke behind me. "Yes, you fainted for 9 hours, probably from exhaustion and injury. And when I saw you fainting I brought you here".

I who heard that was suddenly shocked and shouted "Ehhh!!!!... Who are you!!?..."

"ahaha!!!... sorry for startling you. I'm the one who helped you when you fainted earlier" said that person.

"ouhh... is that so!?... then I'm very grateful for saving me too earlier" I said while staring and bowing to that person.

The person smiled broadly at me and said "No problem. After all I was also late when you were attacked by that magic creature, if I hadn't been late maybe you wouldn't have been injured and fainted" the man said in a contrite manner.

"Oh yes! What's your name?" I asked him.

"Hmmm... introduce my name is Wiliam Rostov, I live on this mountain which is still clean from magical creatures and other strange magic. You could say I am the guardian of this mountain". I was a little surprised to hear that and thought that he was a strong person.

"If so. Are you a strong person? Is your magic strong too? Seeing that your power can kill those magic creatures with long-range attacks," I said, looking at him seriously.

"No!... the monster didn't die, it escaped, I'm not sure I can kill it myself considering it's a type of legend". Said the man while looking at me.

"Ehh!?... I thought it was defeated" I said as I was shocked because I thought he had defeated the creature.

"It's impossible to do it with just physical strength, but if it didn't have a mind it might have been able to win against it" said the man as he turned around.

"Huh?!... You mean with physical strength?... Ja... Don't tell me you attacked it using only your physical strength!!?" I said stunned to him.

"Yes, that's how it was, I didn't want to rely on my magic, so I just attacked him by throwing arrows from above and then hit him hard. Well, but as you can see, that creature is not an ordinary magic creature. He is very strong, whether from magic or endurance".

I was a little surprised to hear that, because it sounded impossible. "A man who only relies on his physical strength to fight a legend-type magic monster is no ordinary person," I thought.

"Can you do it!!!" I said strongly and looked at him seriously.

"Do what?" Asked the man who looked confused with me.

"Can you!... Can you train me!" I said loudly and firmly to him.

The man looked a little surprised to hear that, and thought for a moment...

"On what basis do you want to be strong?" the man said after thinking.

I then approached and looked at him seriously "I!!!. I want to protect my brother!!! So I want to be strong to be able to do this in this world". I said seriously to him.

The man seemed to start thinking again for a moment. "Hmmm... is that all!?, I wouldn't be surprised if you were protecting your brother. But with that kind of ambition you'll only be a naive strong man," the man said to me out loud.

"Hahhh!!!!" I was surprised by his words. On the other hand, I couldn't accept him just saying that, but on the other hand, he was right. If I want to be strong just for that reason, it seems pointless. I thought for a moment.

Then he continued his words. "Hmmm ... you know ... many things are needed to be strong, and one of them is strong ambition, if your ambition is big and your goals are clear, someday your strength will feel extraordinary and very useful for people, but ... it all goes back to each person. Some are strong but naive, some are naive but never learn from their mistakes, and if you become one of them, you will fail to become a strong person," the man said to me.

I began to think and ponder.

"On the other hand, you can be a person who is not naive and strong" continued the man from his earlier words.

"Ehh!?" I suddenly realised something and stopped pondering.

"You're right!... if you want to be a strong person, then be ready for everything that awaits you, so don't be a person who thinks long on the matter of fighting or anything else. Don't ever think that you're weak or that the enemy is weak!... isn't that right!?" I replied firmly to the man

"Hahaha... not bad, not bad, you understood what I said deeply. I like the way you think. Alright!!... I'll be your teacher" The man said with a smile.

I was immediately surprised and astonished, but felt happy that he would accept me.

"Thank you sensei!!!...in the future!!! Please guide me!". I said strongly and bowed my thanks.

"hahaha... it's nice to know an interesting person like you, I hope you can pass my hell training" he smiled widely after saying that.

I don't know if it's a strange or bad feeling, but it seems like something is coming that will challenge my life in the future.
