27 Undergrund Zone (1/2)

Zatiel was back in the house resting in his bed, although with meditation he can replenish all the energy that he had lost, sleeping will do the trick better and besides it is relaxing to do in it from time to time.

´They gave me five years if, by that time I haven't meet their conditions, they possibly will be the first in killing me and take all my possessions with them for the trouble that I cause them, but that doesn't matters, if I focus only in rune crafting it will take me less than a year to become a rank 1 runemaster, but that will raise suspicions, after all, for a rank 0 apprentice reaching that level is supposed to be impossible due to the shortage in energy that humans have´

Zatiel logic was correct after all even if the person was a supreme genius, rank 1 is one of the great breakthroughs of life-forms, triggering an immense change in the individual, especially in humans since they are one of the weakest races when they are in rank 0.

´I should first reach rank 1 before advancing as a runemaster, with the laboratory of the ancient magi I will get the most important component in advancing, but those places are often full of danger, I will need to do a lot of preparation before going there´

...

It was morning and two figures could be seen leaving the Magic Tower, they were Zatiel and Sophia.

They were moving at a great velocity, of course to Zatiel this was trotting but he had to slow down due to the presence of Sophia.

Sophia was an elementium apprentice and his affinity was water, usually, the body of these apprentices is very weak but those deformities that torment her so much allow her to reach the body strength of a rank 3 body-refining apprentice permitting her to keep up with the speed.

”Zatiel do we must go to the Underground Zone, that place is full of bloody races that attack in the first sight of anyone,” Sophia was scared of going to such a dangerous place, but the truth was that she doesn't know anything about the underground, just the rumors that are pass among people.

”That place has some of the material I need to craft runes, besides if you are talking about bloody races humans definitely are in the top 10,” In Zatiel view humans were one of the more warmongers races of the entire universe especially those that came from High Worlds like Magis.

”You don't know what you are talking about! a lot of people are good and loving with those closes to them, especially in villages, where everybody takes care of each other,” Sophia usually will never scream at Zatiel, but anger overcome her rationality at this moment.

Most of Sophia's anger with Zatiel words came from the memories she has before embarking on the path of magic, those memories are something precious and what helps her in her darkest moments so she wants to protect with everything she has.

The moment she finished speaking she felts fear crawling his body making her stop, as she tries to find the origins of it, she saw Zatiel coldly looking at her.

”Are you sure I am mistaken?” The coldness in Zatile eyes just grow stronger as he waited for the answer

Fear started to grow on Sophia's heart, she thought she had a basic idea of Zatiel for all the time they have been together, but at this moment the threat of death seems very clear. She knows that if she retracts she will be fine, but just as she was about to lie, memories start to flash trow his minds and as they do a flame could be seen growing in his eyes. After a moment she looks back at Zatiel and she held his head high as she responded

”Yes, you are wrong,” The moment she finished talking, the feeling of how a little something was growing inside her shows up, as that feeling passes she was ready to accept what was coming next, but what she received was unexpected.

”Hahaha, good, you have hope after all, you may not be the smartest or talented, but I don't give a shit about that, remember what you are feeling now and do all you can to strengthen it,” Zatiel noded at the woman as he saw the resolve she displays it.

”Are you really not angry?” Sophia was a little confused by what was happening, in a moment she felt he was ready to attack her and the next he was laughing and compliment her.
