While they are having dinner, Bella asks Neva if there is a method or tip she could give her for the task that she gave.
"There's no special method I used, but here's a tip. Imagination is the limit. What will happen if you imagine an impossible? There might be a possibility or chance that might appear", Neva answers.
"What do you mean? I don't get it"
"Ok, try this", Neva emptied the glass of water. "Imagine creating the magic above it. Then slowly put it inside the glass", Neva demonstrates.
"Let me try", Bella does the same thing as Neva did.
Bella's motivation is recharged. At night while in bed, she asked Luce if, how is his training going? Luce started to tell her what happened. She was amazed as Luce progressed that much.
"Good night Bella"
"Good night too, Luce"
~A month passed~
Neva is taking her leave because their family head summons all the family members.
"When will you be back?", Luce asked with sad emotion
"I'll be back once the assembly is done. It'll be done in a week or shorter", she turns. "Oh yes, I told Craig that if I could bring my sister Eira and he allowed it"
"Ok, I'll look forward to it"
Luce is in tears while watching Neva leave.
"Hey Bella, do you have something to do tomorrow?"
"Hmm... Nothing much"
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Let's go on a date. If you want?"
"Sure", Bella is excited
~Craig POV~
He called his butler Sid and asked him to contact Selvyn a tree magic user.
While Craig is sleeping, Sid received a reply from Selvyn. He is asking for help. Butler Sid rushed to Craig, and told him the details. He rushes to Bella and Luce's room to wake them up. Bella is there, and Luce just got back from the bathroom. He told the details and they needed to rush to rescue Selvyn.
~Story POV~
They rushed to the location. But there was nothing in there, there was no sign of someone. Butler Sid heard a rustling in one of the trees.
"Where are they Craig?", Luce asked.
"I don't know. I can feel that there is something wrong"
The sneaky men rushed to them like they were going to ambush them. Luce Instinctively uses an AOE blind magic.
"Cover your eyes. Light magic: blind!"
After the casting they saw 8 men that were blinded temporarily. Selvyn undoes his tree holo disguised.
*Phew* "Thank you you're here Craig, it's so nice to see you again", Selvyn said while he approached Craig to hug. Selvyn's knees were shaking out of fear, and he fell.
"Who are they? What do they need from you?", Craig asks even though he knows how big of a scammer Selvyn is.
"The thing is-"
"Alright alright, I already know the reason. Come on let's go to my house, and don't try anything stupid"
The duration of blind magic is up and they have already gone.
~Next day~
While having breakfast Selvyn comes late.
"There you are, how's your sleep? Good?"
Selvyn thumbs up.
"Goood. Ok children, this man in front of you will be your temporary teacher. Selvyn, you might want to introduce yourself to them"
"Heya! I'm Selvyn Noruna. My magic is tree, or wood I guess? Whatever. I'm Craig's right hand when we're hunters"
"And. . .?", Craig stares at him.
"Oh yeah, and ever since we parted, I scam a lot of people for a living", Selvyn felt ashamed.
Luce is being wary of him. He doesn't trust Selvyn. He is thinking that it's one of Selvyn's scheme and he will do something bad.
~Craig's POV~
*Knock 3x
"Come in", Craig answered.
Selvyn enters with a sad eyes. He told Craig what happened in the forest, and convinced him if he could borrow some of his men to take revenge on the enemies. Fortunately Craig already knew from the start, that Selvyn is conning him.
"No problem, you can borrow them"
"Thanks"
~The day of departing~
Before their departure, Craig ordered them privately without letting Selvyn know.
"Selvyn is our enemy. He is deceiving me since we met at the forest. Once you noticed something is not on the plan, quickly inform one another to engage in combat. Bring Selvyn alive. He can't fight back, because he doesn't know how to. Dismissed!"
