Fortunately, so of the loot I recovered earlier ca out useful. When I was rummaging through a backpack, I took out a wire that was used by the archer and threw it upwards on another floating stone.
Ping!!
The mont I managed to reach the floating stone transferring the recovery burden onto the wire, a sphere of fla flew overhead and hit the other floating stone in front of .
Boom!
He was a mage with poor accuracy.
However, it was threatening enough.
Because, the floating stone hit by the sphere fell down the cliff below.
I looked down at the cliff where the sand dunes and floating stones fell, but it was so foggy that I could not see the bottom. If I fell, I would disintegrate without even knowing.
[Flash]
Since that mont, my body moved in a trance, leaving myself to my instincts.
While I was hanging on a floating stone, I rotated my body and pretended to aim the wire at another floating stone. Then, activating Flash, I sohow avoided the attack that flew towards the decoy made by .
Yellow lightning bolts danced around the stones, and wriggled their way through the thick layer of snow like snakes. The blazing Fla Arrows showered from the sky, and they ca crashing down like teors, bringing destruction wherever they pierced.
Since there was no defensive magic skill in my arsenal, I navigated between the floating stones as if I was in a circus.
Arrows of fla and chains of lightning brushed past my cheeks.
"Wow..."
The mages marveled while witnessing the exciting show before their eyes. They noticed that there was no sense of crisis in my leisurely movents.
"It's great... It's the first ti I've seen a mage using such magic skill."
"His movents are no joke."
"By the way."
"... Why doesn't he use a defensive skill?"
It was natural for such a question to arise in their hearts. A mage with that much control would be able to easily block the low-level magic of the novice mage.
But, did they know?
The fact that I, the boy fleeing for his life through the floating stones could not use any magic skill other than Flash.
'Damn it!'
I, who was gradually pushed to the limit, gritted my teeth. A single lightning bolt started to chase .
Although its destructive power was low, a 'Thunderbolt' magic skill that was capable of hitting multiple enemies with hundred percent accuracy could not be avoided.
'Fuck !'
Flash's cooldown was still a long second away, so I shot the wire in a hurry and hit another floating stone, but even if I pushed my body in the air, it would definitely chase and hit .
'Were all the efforts worthless?'
At that ti, while I was biting my tongue in despair as I watched the impending doom, the mage in gray robes, who had been observing the situation from the back, jumped out and activated a magic circle.
"Huh? What are you going to do..."
"Get out of the way."
The mages revealed absurd expressions.
Among them, the level of mages was only Class 2 or 3, so they could not learn long-distance magic skill to save the boy from those evil mages that were more than hundred ters away.
As they thought, that gray-robed girl must also be a Class 3 mage. At such a young age, that level of achievent was great, but it was unbelievable.
"The distance is too far. There's a possibility that mana will disappear or the trajectory will deviate and the magic skill will result in failure...."
However, the leader quickly shut his mouth. An ice spear wrapped up in lightning ford at the fingertips of the gray-robed girl.
'Two... Two attributes?!'
Paang!!
The surprise lasted for a short mont. The spear cleaved through the air, and collided with the lightning. The engagent caused sizzling commotion before both devoured each other, and disappeared.
"You calculated that trajectory..."
That was shocking, but it paled in comparison to what unfolded next.
The girl bit her lip and swung her staff. Using the explosive recoil of lightning, she shot the ice spear at an incredible speed.
It brushed past my cheeks with fearful accuracy.
Peck!
It struck one of the mages' chest standing on the other side of the cliff, and smashed him into the rock not far away.
An ice spear of such terrifying power!
"Uh, uh...!"
"What! This is crazy...."
"Did you hit across this distance with just an ice spear?"
"I can't believe it...."
As soon as the other mage saw that his comrade was killed by a spear from a distance of more than hundred ters, he was greatly shaken, and his ntal defense crumbled second by second. He imdiately turned to run away, and even canceled the magic skill he was about to cast.
Seeing the gray-robed girl sit down and breathe heavily, the mages looked at each other with pale expressions.
The person jumping on the floating stones was also a young boy, but that girl also looked young, how talented were they?
"Ha, ha..."
Eventually, I was able to safely cross over the cliff and move in a wagon with the help of the group of mages.
"Hey, you did a good job. It's the first ti I've ever seen a mage with great moves like you."
The leader approached first and offered a handshake to .
"Hmm, so by the way... Where are you from?"
"... Yes?"
Since it was a slightly random question, I answered in a bewildered voice.
"I ca from over there."
"No, not that..."
My absurd answer quickly cleared the air and so mages burst into laughter. The girl, who had maintained a quiet atmosphere, was also a little shaken as if she was dumbfounded.
"It's not that, I'm asking about your affiliation."
"Ah... I have no affiliation."
"Oh, are you an independent mage? Then, how about joining our mage group?"
"No, I can't... Because I am still an aspiring mage."
"What?"
"Really?"
The mages who were listening to our conversation exclaid in surprise. This was because the movents I showed were already at the level of a veteran. Not to ntion, I had enough mobility to cross that rocky cliff.
"Heh, I thought you were already a professional mage because you were so talented. Excuse for my misunderstanding."
Hearing my words, the other mages began to talk. Why was I still an aspiring mage with such skills? They wondered.
I wondered what kind of sound they would make when they realized that the only skill I knew was Flash.
I turned my head to find the gray-robed mage who had helped . She was sitting in a dark corner of the carriage.
"Thank you for helping . In fact, I almost died."
The girl raised her head. That elegant jawline made it obvious to that she was a woman, and not a man.
".... I didn't do it for your thank you, so don't worry about it."
Sohow, her tone was quite sharp.
'Her voice is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life...'
Even her harsh voice sounded as lodious as a romantic song.
'Does she have light-blue hair?'
Few strands of light-blue hair fell from her gray robes.
A mage with light-blue hair, and lightning and ice attributes. The coincidence made think of a familiar face, but I did not delve into it any further.
She was covering her face, so it was not polite to stare at it.
"Whoa..."
Following the guidance of other mages, I slumped into the corner of the carriage, and looked helplessly into the air.
After completing an episode during the day, suddenly another episode popped up.
[Episode 2]
[Enroll in Stella Academy!]
The completion of the second episode would not be too difficult, but I was more worried about what would happen after that.
'What am I going to do in school at my age?'
