Capítulo 214: Teaching

"Aegis!"

A golden aura sprung up around me, glittering with the light of a thousand stars. I passed a hand through it, and the magic reacted like water, trailing my fingers in golden swirls and eddies. Mesmerized, I almost failed to notice the excited clapping and cheers from my small audience.

"What kind of spell is that?" Sari asked, her eyes shining.

Ror nodded. "Yeah, does it kill monsters?"

We sat in the clearing in a small circle, the stump at our center. A week had passed since my awakening, and now, I rarely ever spent time in the inn. But I had succeeded in growing used to people, and could now walk down the street without jumping at every shout and laugh. It was overwhelming when the children swarmed me, speaking in words I couldn't understand, but Ror and Sari were there to translate, or even chase them away. The wound on my leg was mending as well, and my step was reduced to only a slight limp.
