NOVEL NEXT Book 1: Chapter 8
Person Waiting for 100 Years
[Tina’s Perspective]
Today, Halt-sama defeated a demon for the first time.
He was able to kill it in just one shot as it rushed to him head-on.
Even though I already taught him the Horned Rabbit’s behavioral patterns beforehand, I cannot help but be amazed at his perfect blow. He also remembered what I said about the meat being edible, so he carefully controlled his magic so as not to damage it too much.
However, when it comes to taking a life, he still had some misgivings. Actually, long ago, I too had been like that…
That is why I was surprised when he offered to vivisect and process the beast by himself. Upon seeing his shaking hands after he was done, I could not help but hug him with all my might.
Really, he did his very best.
I know Halt-sama will become a great Magician.
He is a person who knows how to treasure a life.
Aside from that, I also have a reason why I think Halt-sama will become an exceptional Wizard.
The [Ice Wall] I conjured to prevent the demon’s escape was pierced by Halt-sama’s [Fire Lance]. A barely five-year-old child’s magic was able to destroy the magic I, a Level 250, cast.
It’s truly unbelievable.
Not only that, Halt-sama is probably unaware of this, but I continued to strengthen the defense magic protecting the training center’s targets. If I do not do this, the targets will not be able to withstand the magic that Halt-sama releases during the training sessions.
Even though I increased their durability, Halt-sama never changed, and every day he continued to attack the targets until they are worn-out.
If I’m not mistaken, Halt-sama should still be a Level 1 [Magician’s Apprentice].
Today, Halt-sama defeated the Horned Rabbit, but I am not sure whether that demon had reached Level 3 or not. In the first place, even before Halt-sama defeated that monster, he was getting stronger day by day.
In this world where the stats increase in proportion to the increase in levels, it’s as if Halt-sama does not depend on stats. It’s as if they do not matter to him, and he keeps getting stronger.
Is it possible for Halt-sama to be a reincarnation of that person?
…No. It’s too early to determine that.
In any case, if it’s truly that person, he will definitely say something to me.
And besides, I do not have to hurry in giving him an answer.
That’s because I… have been waiting for him for a hundred years.
