Chapter 61 Truen the Businessman (2/2)

***

The day started off as per normal after Truen woke his young ward. Zero wiped the drool away with his sleeve and tottered to the toilet to freshen up. Today's agenda was simple. Zero was going to continue his search for the leaf and Truen was going to continue assisting him.

Somewhere after lunch, Zero decided to take a break from his search. There wasn't anything else that could hold Zero's interest now. He'd seen almost everything that could be seen in the forest and the search for Gaia's leaf wasn't going well.

”Would you like to learn some basic magic and combat skills?”

”Magic and combat skills?”

Truen nodded. ”To defend yourself in emergency situations when I cannot.”

Zero thought about it and nodded. There was nothing else interesting after all. Under Truen's tutelage, Zero changed into his magician robes. Truen secretly took pictures of it and kept a poker face.

”Let's go through the basics first. Magic is the control of energy. You can channel magic to do things like this…”

The lessons with Freya were still fresh in his mind. As Truen demonstrated the different forms of magic, Zero's jaw had fallen wide open.

The display of many different colours intrigued the brunet. In fact, the one thing Zero was most interested in was the ability to fly.

”How do you fly? I want to learn that!”

Truen grinned. Although flying required a very strong sense of control, under Freya's tutelage the elf found an easier method. However, he was going to need some good shots for the secret photoshoot before teaching Zero how to fly. After all, it was a priceless opportunity to catch the cute kid at his clumsiest.
