“Give me some time to get the money and i’ll agree so please hold on to the deal.” Blaike said as he ran out of the shop to the castle’s secret tunnel that finally allowed him access from the outside.

As Blaike got back to the castle’s training ground for knights he saw that the heroes were still training hard in order to protect the Humia from the Doman. He asked Boaz to lend him some money in order to help refine his skills in his own time, but he was dismissed as he never showed up for training so why would he do it better by himself without knowing the basics.

Blaike and Boaz made a deal that if Blaike could learn desant magic and swordsmanship in a single week he could get a whole small gold.

Blaike after the deal Blaike wandered back to his room to contemplate how to cast good spells. He could ask the sages that teach the heroes, but that would interrupt them from their heroing business.

Alan noticing their master’s distress asked what was bothering him. Finding out that since they had actually gone to the teachings from the sages and even had a more natural way to cast magic then what was being taught decided to be Blaike’s teacher for magic.

From the mornings to noonish Blaike would go to the training yard with Satoru to practice with the sword since he was most used to beating up Satoru, but recently Satoru has been getting better at predicting Blaike’s moves to dodge and strike back making the duels better resulting in two more blue screens.

"Your pet “Satoru” as gained enough wisdom and time around your language to obtain the [English] skill."

"Repeated combat with the sword and observation of the swords creation has resulted in you and Satoru obtaining the [Swordsmanship] skill."

After the noons Blaike would have lunch only to head to his room to be taught magic by his other contracted beast Alan. He learned how to channel magic of different types and learned that normally a person would only have one element, but summoned people always had multiple elements even some being contradictory like fire and water. Each element was represented by a different color the 6 primary and secondary colors then black and white, with Blaike’s colors being the three rarest colors to be seen Black, White, and Purple.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Alan’s Elemental color was Black and as a Sprite it able to freely channel it without any difficulty. This also made it so the only spell’s Blaike could be truly taught would be void magic spells, the simplest of which was a spell of pure void magic without any deformities and the one most other void spells were based on.

The spell was known as “Delete” and as it’s name initials it literally deletes everything in the space the spell is being cast on. Matter, Time, Energies all of them get erased by this spell making it very dangerous. It was also not the easiest spell to cast as Blaike was not being taught to cast spells with chants, but with imagery.

All spells though after the “Delete” spell came much easier as Blaike understood a better way to cast spells and didn’t need to spend time memorizing chants so he learned “Heal” and “weigh” which were basic spell’s from the other two types of magics Blaike could channel.

Blaike even gained new abilities do to practising the Imagery casting symbolized by more blue screens.

“Do to being able to cast multiple spells without assistance you gain a new skill [Casting].”

“Do to casting multiple spells without casting you gained the ‘chantless caster’ Title.”

“Do to regenerating all your lively energies with a calming state of mind you gained the [Meditation] skill.”

As the time limit was ending Blaike went to the training field after breakfast and waited for Boaz to show himself to finish the bet they made one week prior. By the time Boaz arrived all the heroes were there starting their pre made schedules. To complete the bet Boaz brought with him an animated dummy for Blaike to fight as the dummy would scale the the power of the opponent.

In duel between Blaike and the dummy the dummy had the advantage most of the time making it difficulty on Blaike, forcing him use “Delete” completely disabling the dummy by making the enchantment on it break and a hole in the dummy itself appear.

Boaz accepted the defeat giving Blaike the money since he had never seen the “Delete” spell used by Blaike before and the swordsmanship of Blaike wasn’t too bad compared to the progress made by the heroes.

Blaike left the castle through the tunnel with Alan and Satoru healing himself in it. Arriving at the Slums Blaike headed to the Carpenter’s place to remember the vendor he had talked to 2 weeks before now. Thinking about the conditions of the slaves, Blaike headed over to the vendor asking how much for two slaves.

“The cost depends on how good their quality are. So which ones you want?”

Blaike looked at the slave vendor’s “products” to find which ones he would choose only to find two children who looked battered and bruised one with cat ears and the the other with scales on some of his body.

“I’ll take those two”

“Really? oh , you're looking for the cheap ones then. Fine they’re in total worth is 3 large silver pay up.”

“Sorry I only have a small gold can I have the 7 large sliver change back?”

The Vendor surprised at seeing someone only carrying small gold immediately gave the extra to Blaike and cleaned up the Slaves before making the contract between the two Slaves and their new master.

“The Cat eared one is a half beis-kine named Kat and the one other than her is the Half Myrfol Jahleel.”

After the purchasing of Kat and Jahleel the five of them left back towards the carpenter's place to get the skills in carpentry.
