The next morning I woke up after a depressing night and it clearly showed on my face. I had breakfast and went outside to do my morning workout. After working out I went to a tree near my house and set under it, many things were on my mind

I am glad that Alzack attacked the village. Why, well because it made me realise how weak I truly am and what’s more is that I can’t summon any of the sins. Damn it

The hell does ‘until your emotions itself calls for them’ even mean. Stupid Death, didn't even tell me the important shit in the beginning

So I have to make myself stronger no matter what. But how, I can only use fire magic, and can’t do spell fusion but luckily I can convert pure mana into fire attribute mana pretty quickly. In 10 seconds I can convert around 70% into attribute mana, which is good, so casting spells shouldn't be that hard.

I start to access information on all the fire spells that I might be able to use. There are only four standalone fire spells, fire ball, and fire rain, fire barrier and fire flight.

Fire ball is a ball of fire, the size will change depending on how much mana a person provides

Fire rain is where the user shoots a huge ball of fire towards the sky and the ball explodes and rains down fire

Fire barrier is a barrier made out of fire

Fire flight is where the user creates fire under their feet and use it to fly. Tho it is very hard to master

Me: “That’s it?, shit only four spells”

I get up from under the tree and start to walk towards the forest. There is a safe path in the forest that leads to a water pond and a cleared training area in the forest.

The reason it’s safe is because the path and pond are surrounded by defensive crystals. The defensive crystals stop the magical beasts from entering the path, pond and village. The winged-lion was able to enter the village was because Alzack destroyed the defensive crystal on the east gate a day before he attacked

I walked on the path for until I arrive at the pond. I see that there in the training area. Not many people come here anymore because the adventurer’s guild had a new training room installed there and everyone uses that instead of coming here

I stand in the middle of the training area and start to control my breathing. I convert 15% of my pure mana into fire mana in a split second. Then I move the mana through my body, to my hands and cast the fire ball spell

*BOOOOOOM*

Me: ‘……………………….W-w-w-w-w-what was that’

I only used 15% of mana into the fire ball, but it was huge, almost 11 meter in diameter if not bigger. But how? I stand in there with a blank face trying to come up with an explanation. The only reason I can come up with is that I might a really big mana pool.

I leave my thoughts behind and thought about usingfire flight. To be careful I only use 5% mana, I take fire mana and bring it beneath my feet

*SHSHShshshshshHSHSHSH*

I am launched towards the sky in high speed and I’m still going up

Me: “What the hell happened to wind resistances!?”

I look down before stopping, I am about 120 meter in the air

Me: ‘oh god, oh god’

I started to fall and was about to have my head smashed on the ground. ‘Shit’, fear took hold of me

Me: ‘What’s going to happen to me? I just got this new life’

I put my hands over my head

Me: “SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!”

I screamed from the top of my lungs but unknowingly started to gather pure mana in my hands. With my eyes closed, I wait for the impact, but only there wasn’t any. When I reopen my eyes I see that I’m floating just a few inch from the ground

Me: ‘w-w-w what, how?’

From my knowledge, pure mana has no proper applications to it, so there is no use for it. But right now I’m floating in air because of it. I stop supplying mana to my hands and immediately fall on the ground

While lying on the ground I start thinking about what I could do with pure mana. Several idea’s pop into my mind and I grinned from ear to ear. My new daily training now became physical workout, mana conversion, control fire flight and find new ways to use pure mana and fire magic

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time flew by and now I’m 4 and in a half a year I’ll turn 5 and do my attribute test. Every child from the age of six is required to go to school at least for one year to learn basic stuff like reading and writing, maths and history

Those with one attribute are the ones who go to school for only one year, while others keep going until they reach low-beta rank. Low-beta is consider the graduating rank. Until the age of 10, schooling is free, after 10 you have to pay money to continue going. You will be kicked out of school if you don’t reach mid-delta at the age of 10

I was in the training area with James. He has been teaching my how to fight with a sword twice a week. My father also teaches my close combat at home in the afternoons. The other kids in the village ask me to play with them but I refused and went to train

After the incident with Alzack, I went to James and asked him to help me become stronger and as a result, he has been teaching me sword play for the last 2 and a half years. During my training with father or James, I have never used any magic. But I think James already know that I can probably use magic

James: “This will be all for today”

Me: “Thanks again Teacher”

James goes to the side where our stuff is. He puts the wooden sword down and picks up his walking stick and starts to walk back to the village in his ‘old man position’. The he just stops and looks towards me and says

James: “I don’t have anything left to teach you”

Me: “….”

James: “1 year from now I’m gonna give you a test. If you pass then I’ll give you good reward”

Me: “What kind of test?”

James: “I’ll tell you on the day of the test. Now if you’ll excuse me”

Saying that, he just walks off.

Me: ‘A test huh’

I’ll think about it then

In the last 2 and a half years, I have found a lot of new ways to use fire magic and pure mana. One of the new fire magic I made is called fire bullets

Fire bullets is a smaller and faster version of fire ball. The size of the fire bullets are same size as normal bullets from ‘Earth’ tho lacks the penetrating power but has greater impact force

After I created fire bullets, I went to hunt magical beasts in the forest. I used fire flight to jump up to a tree branch. I jump from one branch to another and make my way into the forest safely.

By a tree I spot a small fox like creature, wondering around. It was a mid-delta earth fox with probably 2 attributes. Being an earth fox, one attribute is definitely earth and the other is unknown.

I am hidden on top of the tree 10 meters away from it. I gather 1.5% fire mana into my index finger and aim at the earth fox, waiting for a chance to attack it. As it is moving, I follow it form branch to branch. After a while it finally stops near a dead dog and starts eating it. I take this chance and shoot the fire bullet. The speed of the bullet was around 120km/h. The bullet hit the fox on its right side of its head. Instant death. I jump down from the tree and went to were its corpse is. The bullet didn’t penetrate its head. The blunt force was just enough to kill it

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrancar: “Tomorrow is the big day. Aren’t you excited Lanza”

Me: “It’s just a stupid test”

Arrancar: “That’s right, but that stupid test will determine how strong you will become in the future”

Me: “So I’ll be forever weak if I only have one attribute?”

Arrancer: “Now son, we don’t know that. I’m pretty sure you’ll have at least three. And I never said that having one

attribute will mean that you are weak”

Me: “Yes father”

I will be turning 5 tomorrow and also do my attribute test on the same day.

Me: ‘It’s gonna be a shit birthday’

Over the last five months, all I did was train. I’m pretty sure that I can beat both James and father at the same time. I have confidence in my strength. If Alzacks even dares to show his smug face in front of me ever again, imma rip his head off

*opens door*

Liza: “I’m back”

Me: “Welcome back”

After I turned three, Liza went back to work for the adventurers guild as a healer. So I was usually by myself during the day.

Liza: “What do you want for dinner Lanza?”

Arrancar: “Soup”

Liza: “I asked Lanza not you *sniff sniff* and what the hell is that smell”

Me: “It’s father”

Liza: “You go and take a shower, the whole village can probably smell you”

The rest of the evening went by like every other day. We all ate dinner, talked and went to sleep
