Next morning class, Ilario went to training ground directly. A high elf was waiting for him, he saw a magic symbol of shield with 2 swords crossing on his hand.

“Hello, my name is Marius, today onward, I will teach you for magic controlling and fighting,” said Mr. Marius.

“Good morning, my name is Ilario. It’s my pleasure to meet you.” Ilario greeted him back politely.

“I heard that you could not control fire magic power because you have too much Magic Core inside your body. Try to activate small fire ball first,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario concentrated and imagining of very small fire ball, then, activated Fire Magic Power but the result was as same as the last time he activated, it was look like the minimum power that he could activated.

“Activate again and hold it, then concentrate and reduce its size bit by bit, do not rush and feel upset, otherwise, the result will be the opposite and high risk of explode, take your time,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario activated the fire ball again, the size was same, it was like auto activated itself. Ilario followed Mr. Marius’s guide, he holding the fire ball, it was taken time for a while, finally, he could be reduced its radius in half an inch and stopped because he felt tired of holding Magic Power longer than usual.

“Only half an inch!” thought Ilario, it would be a long way to go.

“Remember the feeling when the size was reduced, then try to activate again,” said Mr. Marius.

“It might be that I need to concentrate to reduce the power inside my body before activate the magic power,” thought Ilario, he activated again with his method, he reduced the Magic Core power gathering in his hand as less as he could, he imagined of small fire ball, then, activated; it was succeeded, he could be activated small fire ball as he thought.

“How could you activate the small one after I recommended you to reduce its size bit by bit?” Mr. Marius asked surprisingly.

“Oh…from your last recommended, I thought myself that I should use that method inside my body to reduce Magic Core Power gathering and then activated the small fire ball as I image, I thought that your method was control from outside, so, I just try the same way but inside my body instead because it was source of my power.” Ilario explained honestly.

“You are genius, think the way by yourself from just one recommended, it was the correct principle but hard to do it in short period of time. Try to activate again from small fire ball to the big fire ball and make it shape of small bird, I would like to make sure how fluency of your Fire Magic controlling,” said Mr. Marius, smiled encouragingly.

Ilario activated small fire ball, medium fire ball and big fire ball, it was easier to control power inside his body before released it. He concentrated and activated fire hummingbird, it was succeeded for the shape but the size was as same as eagle.

“Good job, I think that you have no more problem of power controlling, practice more for the detailing of magic shape because it required more of concentration, in your case, you need both of concentration and power controlling, it would be harder,” said Mr. Marius.

“Next, I will show you how to activate the magic for attack,” said Mr. Marius while activated ‘Wind Slashing’ and slashed at the target, like sword slash in long distance effect; the wood doll cut into 2 pieces.

“‘Wind Slashing’ is one kind of magic power attack that generated from Wind Magic Power, gather magic core, release in shape of sharp sword, shoot the power with high speed to the target; the faster speed, the more damage to target. Try it,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario activated "Wind Slashing" he could cut some part of the wood doll but could not cut it into 2 pieces, he gathered more magic core and activated again, it was cut the doll into 2 pieces and damage the wood wall behind it.

“Try again, until you could cut only wood doll,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario was succeed at the tenth of activation, it was hard to control his power and make the damage to target only. He felt exhausted after used too much magic power.

Ilario taken some rest and prepared himself for afternoon training, he started with warm up, more weight of bracelets than yesterday, running 100 laps, real sword training 500 times, run across the wood log 100 rounds, climb the tree 50 times and succeed on arrow shooting by hit the inner center of archery target.

“I will teach you how to shoot arrow to the moving target, you need to hold string, catch up the movement of target, predict it next movement, then shoot the target,” said Lyra while she shoots the wood log that Oliver thrown in the air easily.

Ilario was succeed one hit in twenty-fourth shoots, it was hard for shooting the moving target.

Ilario has a rest day after several days of training, time passed by 12 days after he came to this world, a lot of things happened in short time. Ms. Carina led Ilario to look around the village in the afternoon, he behaves himself because he would like to know more about the elves’ village.

The village was quite wide, Ms. Carina led Ilario to the Apple Orchard, there were several apple trees with plenty of apple.

“The Apple Orchards here have important significant to the young elves’ life, it was life force and the beginning of first generation of young elves. You can eat it, I also used it to make apple pie for you” said Ms. Carina, smiled kindly and given Ilario one apple, its size was bigger than the apple that Ilario have been seen in his previous life, its taste was sweeter and smell really good.

“The next area was Vineyard, we planted for eating and made wine, the other zone, we also have several kind of vegetable farming, the young elves that have not much magic power have responsibility of gardening and farming, these were foods and fruits supplied for our village.” Ms. Carina explained.

The scenery was big farming, they have all necessary things for livelihood. It was peaceful scenery and everyone look happy. After take tour of village for a while, we went back home. Ilario still have a lot of free time, he continued to read a book name ‘How to kill monsters’ that Mr. Mercury given him.

There were a lot of monster types, Ilario could not finished all today, it was useful book, he could prepare himself with its information, it must not be easy to deal with Diabolus.

***

3 years passed, Ilario was 8 years old.

In the past 3 years, Ilario got a lot of hard training, like warrior, he was now excellent with all kind of basics; the basic of elves, the special race with high standard.

Today was the day of celebration for Ilario reaching to 8 years old. He felt happy that he grew up fast but just think about next level of training, he might become a superhuman with supernatural power.

All of elves attended the celebration that hardly have in the village, they all look happy and friendlier to Ilario, it was their natural of not familiar with human race. There were a lot of foods and wine, Ilario would like to drink some but Ms. Carina looked at him at his eyes in communication meaning of do not drink the wine because you’re a child, so, Ilario given up, she like a nanny for me here.

“Ready for tomorrow?” Oliver asked Ilario and smiled at him.

“I think I’m ready,” said Ilario in feeling of not enough time for mind preparation.

“Just relax, we will be fighting for real, it was the best way to practice you. So, you can go for hunting with me, you can do it,” said Oliver, smiled encouragingly.

Oliver were friendlier to Ilario after trained him for 3 years. Oliver told Ilario that he was quite funny, trained everything he said without any complained. Oliver did not know the fact that Ilario complained him a lot, but in his mind, that why he thought that Ilario was a good and obedient child and talked to him more general subjects.

“Do you hunt often?” Ilario asked curiously, Oliver trained him 6 days a week, he wondered how he could go for hunting.

“Yes, before you came, I hunted 5 days a week, we hunt wild animals, use its parts and sell its meat to human because we also need human’s money to buy some of their products, there were the market in human village, near Magnus Forest. I will take you there after you could win me just 1 time,” said Oliver happily.

“Can I use magic?” Ilario asked with joke.

“Of course not! You need to fight with hunter style with 2 dagger knives like I trained you with the mock combat,” said Oliver.

Normally, young men elves have low-medium magic level but the elves’ standard were high, it could be compared to medium-high magic level of human race, they excellent in hunting, that why Oliver was confident of his fighting skill. — Their hunting style, it was look like assassin style that Ilario have been seen in many games and movies of his previous life; it was based on martial art and close combat with technique of using weapon, sword or dagger knives to strike or kill the target, fast and effective in one blow, and also use archery to shoot the long-distance target.

“Yeah, I got it.” Ilario said with boring tone. Oliver was so great, he need to find new tactic to win against him just one time.
