It was a week in since I had taken over after my Father's death, and everybody finally learned Elemental Magic and Reinforcement Magic. After hours of convincing Evie, she agreed, although it was only because of William's nagging that she actually agreed.
Evie has made strides in her developments in Magic, she finally grasped the idea of how to use her Sound Magic, and honestly it's quite scary, she hasn't tested it out on a real person yet, but I believe the side effects will be deadly. Her fire magic was also too out of control to use, so she couldn't use it on real people or someone would die, or be disabled for the rest of their lives.
I had also receieved the Stat Crystal after days of searching for it. I feel like my Father hid it away on purpose, as it was found under his death bed, right in the corner in a small box.
These were the stats of three prominent figures in Haven (Moe, Jackson and Evie).
[Evie: Aged 12]
[Class: Unidentified]
[Skills: Fire Magic Proficiency[F], Sound Magic Proficiency[E], Reinforcement[F-]
It wasn't much since she hasn't really been alone, she has been busy teaching others, however the difference in her talent is disgusting large in comparison to the general public. I also have no clue about the Class section, I don't know how to get one or what requirements you have to meet. Also, regariding her Reinforcement Magic, I told her to use it as the more times you use it, the stronger, and more accustomed you are to it, but I think she disregarded this advice completely.
[Jackson: Aged 11]
[Class: Farmer]
[Class Skills: Plowing[D]
[Skills: Seed Creation[E+], Scythe Proficiency[F+], Reinforcement[F]
I have no idea where the Scythe Proficiency came from, but it must be something to do with his farming, and honestly, his seeds that he produces are amazing. At the moment, he can only produce berry bushes, however, when the seeds are planted, you don't need to plant them again. Also, the best part about his seeds is that they're able to survive any form of weather, so in the future food won't be an issue. For some reason, he met the criteria for a Class, I need to read up on it, I just haven't had time.
[Moe: Aged 9]
[Class: Unidentified]
[Skills: Water Magic Proficiency[E+], Shortsword Proficiency[F+], Reinforcement[F+]
I pretty much tutored Moe for a bit regarding Swords, I haven't started teaching everyone about Swordsmanship, so I thought why not try with Moe, and honestly, it wasn't bad! I also didn't want Moe to get disheartened about not catching up with his sister, however I was wrong. With him tending to the fields he's doing fine in regards to his Proficiency! He's even ahead of Evie. Also, his Reinforcement Magic is using it on allies, so honestly, I believe Moe will become some form of Support when he grows up.
And finally, mine.
[Jay: Aged 18]
[Class: Magic Swordsman]
[Class Skills: Swordsmanship Proficiency[E+], Parry[F+]

[Skills: Gravity Magic[D-]
Before I gained the Class of Magic Swordsman, I had a bunch of random weapon proficiencies, so I think that might've been a criteria of being a Swordsman, and a long with Magic, I guess having a D Magic may have been the cause? Of course, these are just guesses, but it does made some form of sense. I've made quite a lot of progress with Gravity Magic, I can make things float, and anyone I touch with either my body or a weapon I can make them feel light, or heavy. Also, inanimate objects that I make move can also be controlled by a small amount, but it isn't much, and I'm limited to one.
----------------------------------------
Haven was surrounded by trees and wildlife, and the path into Haven had been covered up, however, I was going to hunt today, and tomorrow I was going to start Sword Training for everyone.
"Today, I will be taking Moe and Evie with me into the wildlife, for hunting, if successful, meat will be on the table instead of Porridge and Berries!".
The crowd slowly clapped. I was finally gaining their trust, ontop of this, everyone is able to use magic, whether it be a small amount or a large amount, it was hugely successful, people were finally able to sleep in warm huts.
As we were on our way, I gave Evie a small dagger in case she was alone, or ran out of mana, and I had a rapier, whilst Moe had a small shortsword.
"Do I really need a Dagger? When you see my Magic you'll be shocked!". Evie started chuckling to herself.
"No arguing, we're going to be fighting real monsters, safety will always be priority".
It was quite ironic to say safety was priority whilst bringing two children into a dangerous situation, but honestly I had to, these two were adept in their training and showed growth from a week ago.
Evie didn't argue, I guess she understood the value of safety.
"Do you both remember formations?". Before we left I told them both the formation of our party.
"Jay is at the front, Evie is at the middle and I'm at the back!".
Moe answered proudly. When I first met him he was a shy boy, but I think some of Jackson is rubbing off on him, which is great, Jackson seems like a outgoing guy.
"Great! Moe, who do you Reinforce when we see a Monster?".
I answered another question, however this time I didn't tell him beforehand, so he hesitated.
"Um, you! Since you'll be fighting with a sword".
"Correct!".
I started to pat him on the head.
"Okay! Let's go".
----------------------------------------
We were in the forest, surrounded by large trees, and we saw a Monster almost instantly.
It was a wolf, a grey wolf. It was quite large, but I promised myself I wouldn't back down. Almost instantly, I received a Reinforcement buff by Moe, and Evie used her Sound Magic to completely deafen the Wolf, as she did this, the wolf started whining and it's ear started to bleed.
I took advantage of this, and Reinforced my weapon and jabbed both the wolves eye, and one in the chest.
I nodded my head. "Well done both of you!".
"See? My magic is so strong!".
I looked at the dead wolf. Ah. How are we supposed to take this back? It's atleast a five minute walk, well, Evie can look after herself, so I guess she'd be okay alone?
"Evie, can you go back and ask your Dad and a few other Reinforcement Magic guys to bring back this dead wolf?".
"On my own?".
"Yeah, is that okay? I'm not going to force you".
"Yeah! That's more than okay, I'll show you how strong I am!".
"I'm being serious, you follow the path back, don't go wandering, no matter what, okay?".
Evie was mature when she was serious, the only problem is getting her to be serious. When teaching others Elemental Magic, it took her two lessons for her to take them serious, and when she did, people were able to use their mana consistently.
"Yeah,yeah, I'll be fine!".
She wandered off, following the path almost immediately.
----------------------------------------
*EVIE POV*
I've been alone for two minutes and have yet to come across anything, why was he being so paranoid? I'm fine.
A wolf houl could be heard in the distance, but it's fine, it sounded like it was from behind.
I was alert, but not to the point where I was stressing myself out, until I heard screams coming from Haven - my birthplace.
I ran, I ran as fast as I could, to be met with a group of people with large spears, and with hoods on their face, taking Jackson away from the fields, along with a few men.
I instantly ran in a bush so I couldn't be seen. These guys weren't far away, if I started to speak in my normal voice, they could definitely hear me.
What do I do? Do I run back to Jay?
No, I can't do that. I need to handle this myself. Sound Magic is perfect for performing assassinations... well I think anyways.
They were barely just within range, and I can only deafen one at a time. Maybe I can use fire magic, although I don't have much control over it.
I don't know what to do.
I need help.
As I was deep in thought, they started holding Jackson by the throat, and I don't know what happened, but something inside of me switched, I stopped doubting myself and took action, I instantly Deafened the man holding Jackson, and he instantly collapsed on the floor, screaming holding his ears, whilst blood was pouring out.
They deserved it. They were going to kill a child.
I'm not in the wrong.
I hope I'm not in the wrong.
