As An Ex-Villainess...

Newborn Adventurer's First Step

"Mikasa, Leon. Can you teach me how to control my power?"

"Huh?" the two adventurers stopped in the middle of their feast on pork ham, the juicy fat is dripping from their mouth down to the sizzling plate.

Misuzu is tempted to buy one too but she have to save her money.

"i tried to control it when i used it in some opportunity but...." she don't know how to put it so she made a face with some 'blow-up' like gestures. "Last time i use it our laundry is flying far away and we have to buy new clothes"

"Buh! ahahahaha!" Mikasa laughing uncontrollably and hitting the table until she cried and out of breath. "You.... you fucking idiot!" with the piece of meat still in her mouth.

"Please properly swallow your food before you speak and don't swear when you eating" Misuzu reprimanded, choked by food is not a fun experiences. Besides, it's impolite and disrespectful to the farmer and the cook, atleast. yes there is God but whatever.

"Ahahaha, yes mom!"

"I disown you"

"Ouch! what the hell mom?!"

While the two girls bickering Leon have to struggle saving himself from death caused by choking. He wanted to laugh too but his throat-!

The laughter is over when he escaped the near-death experience.

"So, you want to control your mana. Do you have an image of what kind of control?" Mikasa asked, wiping her tears.

"Yes. I want to control it to the extent of solidfied mana, with this pebble size"

"Why are you have a pebble?" Mikasa focused on wrong thing.

"oh. Oh! dude you want to make a bullet from mana?! That's insane!"

Misuzu surprised there's bullet concept in this world. This will make everything fast by skipping the explanation "Why?"

"Listen, there's new weapon that's popular on the capital. and that thing is called 'El-Gun'. This weapon can turn your mana into your element without any incantations or spell whatsoever. But it's have this thing called 'cooldown', you literally have to wait for that thing to... to cooldown! dude-!" and so he goes on, ranting about new weapon but looks like he want it too.

Misuzu is not impressed but she will listen so that they are not doubting her and maybe there is some useful detail, but... Mikasa is bored and ridiculously looked at Leon, like- she know. Eventhough the other customer in this bar is listening to his ramblings and have a discussion about the El-Gun themself.

But maybe she already have it or ever used it before. They said they both from capital anyway. Misuzu thought nonchalantly. And this bar is a bar of outskirt village, and Leon said that El-Gun is still a new thing. There's always an exception in certain circumstances.

"Soo, is it already sold?" Misuzu is curious about how it work, who made it, how come they have this idea, even the naming is make her curious.

"No, you have to order it first to merchant guild that working under the imperial first. Then the approval, the test, and on.. and on..."

"Eh, it sounds troublesome"

"RIGHT?!"

clap!

"So, when we will start the training?" Mikasa cutted their talk by clapped her hands and give them sharp look.

"If you don't mind, this afternoon, in the forest. Thank you" Misuzu give them a short bow out from habit. after she doing it she realized the usual confused look. Ah, i'm doing it again... habit's die hard...
