Chapter:23
A man in his forties blocked Ryoko's attack with his one hand. Ryoko was a bit shocked by his power.
"My bones might be old but i think i still got something ha-ha-ha."
Ryoko came to her senses and backed from the man.
"Kid i have to say that you're quite a tough one. I didn't think that a kid could unleash such strong magic.
I have never seen anyone so young to be able to bring forth the elemental blade and with such pure energy. I see now see, why a kid was given a S rank."
The man complimented Ryoko, his eyes were shining Brightly. Ryoko on the other hand was dumb founded and a bit stunned.
She came ahead, her face was showing her old Cold look. She was staring the man.
"Mister, who are you?"
"Ohh!! I should introduce myself first. I'm the teacher of the fourth division and my name is Nishikawa teuro."
The man apologized for his rudness and introduced him. Everyone was a bit startled by hearing his name.
(Nishikawa Teuro!!? That's why he was able to block my attack so easily. He is a top A rank magic user and a teacher at the Association.
I'm still too weak to protect Ryuu-kun. I need to restore my power quickly and help Ryuu to make him remember himself.)
Ryoko got into a deep thought, her face could show the pain and sorrow clearly.
"Kids!! Let's begin our training!!"
Teuro was fired up for the session and started to head ahead.
(Is he really a teacher!? This training session is ruined, Haa.)
Everyone had dumb look at their face, they sighed and started to follow him.....
In the mountain, Ryuu was now following Shigeru and Akiko into the deep forest.
Some time later, they reached they reached at the center of the forest.
Huge trees were surrounding them. There was a huge boulder in the center of the area.
Ryuu was a bit confused. He scratched his hair and asked Shigeru.
"Master what is this place and why is there a huge boulder in the center?"
"This is part of your training." Shigeru just gave him a bright smile.
Ryuu was now more confused. He couldn't understand how a boulder can be related to training.
"Do you know Aramiya-kun, the nature is the birth giver of every creature of this world. All the humans and the other creatures, even the demons are born fron the nature.
It is the mother of everything. Every phenomenon in the world is caused by the nature.
Magic is also the gift of nature. The elements, the ability to control them. All are the gift of nature.
So understand the magic more deeply, one have to mix within the nature.
To understand your magic, you have to connect one with it and the nature. Once you're connected with the nature, you will yourself can understand the unknown magic you."
Shigeru told Ryuu about him finding his own magical power. Ryuu couldn't sense the pressence of Shigeru it was like, he had the same pressence as the forest.
"Aramiya-kun. Do you know when i was a child, i was a failure. I could never understood my magical power.
I was just a low F rank. I was considered a failure in this world of magic. I knew i didn't have the power to rise up in this world, where magic was everything.
I knew that i could do nothing to contribute to the humans by my magical power so i started learning about the magic and the nature.
I knew that even if couldn't unleash a high level magic but i can learn and teach others.
This was the only way i could contribute to this world.
I started to went to different peaceful areas. I started to intract with the nature more and some years later nature became a part of my life.
I could feel the my soul getting attached to the soul of nature.
It was also nature which make me meet Akiko and changed my whole life."
Shigeru hold Akiko's hand and was staring into her eyes. She got flustered and blushed slightly.
"H-hey. Can't you see Aramiya-kun is here. What kind of impression do you want to give him as his teacher."
"Ahh! Please don't mind me! I will close my eyes."
Ryuu got startled by her words and closed her eyes, Akiko got even more flustered.
Shigeru saw them and break into loud laugh.
"Ha-ha-ha. Aramiya-kun, you're really a funny kid."
Ryuu was dumb founded. But he also laughed out with Shigeru.
"Honey, it's getting late. I think we should start our training."
Akiko was tired from the standing their left out.
"I think you're right, it's getting late. "
Shigeru noded his head. Akiko eyes became shiny. She walked towards the big boulder and placed one of her hands on the boulder and started to concentrate.
Suddenly a huge aura started to gather around her. Leafs and flower petals started to gather around her. It was like she was controlling the nature.
She opened her eyes and send the leafs and the petals at the big boulder. The very next movement, the big boulder was teared down into little stones.
Ryuu was jawdropped by her power, he couldn't had imagined, a lady as firm as her could unleash such a power. Even a high ranked defense force captain might not be able to cut a boulder into tiny stones just by leafs and petals.
Akiko came back towards the both and hugged Shigeru smiling.
"Did you see that old man. I still strong enough to become a defense force captain."
"That is my wife for you. After such a long time, she's still lively and powerful."
Shigeru patted her head and praised her strength giving a warm smile. Ryuu was stunned and admired by her strength.
"Aramiya-kun, that was wind magic. Akiko and i have spent all of our life in the nature. She is a prodigy in the wind magic.
She could control her magic so perfectly that she can even tear a big boulder like that with just a help of a leaf."
Ryuu was stunned after what he heard. He had never heard about the use of wind magic like that. It was the first time he had seen the wind magic used to control something.
"Aramiya-kun, you have to tear a boulder like that."
Shigeru face took a serious expression. Ryuu was confused and a bit shocked.
"M-master, h-how can i cut the boulder like that. I-i don't even know what my magic ability is."
Ryuu asked shigeru while scratching his head. Shigeru gave him a smile and said.
"But Aramiya-kun kun, don't you have the wind element magic?".....
