Chapter 9: 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 towards him head-on.

Even though I had 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 to avoid damaging 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 someone who knows how to treasure a life.

Aside from that, I also have a reason why I believe 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 did not do this, the targets would 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 were 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 he is 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.
