บท 104: The Lunatic on the Hill

It had been a few days since they had moved into the small cabin on the outskirts of the small town. The log cabin was located around the mid height of a small hill and had a nice view of the town in the distance.

As of recently Daedalus and Andromeda had been going in to the town in order to get better aquatinted with the other residents. On one of those many trips Daedalus heard a story from one of the older residents named John. John said that there was a lunatic or crazy person living at the top of the hill.

Daedalus became curious and decided that he would visit the top in a few days, just to see if what John said was true.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later Daedalus was walking towards the top of the hill. He had told Andromeda his plan a few days prior to closing the hill. As he reached just below the top Daedalus suddenly felt a massive pressure which made his face go pale.

Even though he was worried about the pressure Daedalus put it to the back of his mind and began walking towards the top once more. Just as he was going over the top of the hill Daedalus suddenly heard a loud voice saying "Get off my hill!"

Daedalus was slightly surprised to hear another person but replied saying "Who are you?"

The person replied saying "That doesn't matter get off my hill!"

Daedalus began to feel irritated but said "Where are you?"

The voice became irritated and said "If you won't get off my hill when I tell you, I will make you get off!"

After hearing the voice say that Daedalus was suddenly launched into the air by an extremely powerful gust of wind that had mana infused into it. Daedalus could tell that it was a spell because of his special ability to sense mana particles around him.

Just as he was launched into the air Daedalus used his own spell in order to float in the air and not move backwards any farther. The person suddenly spoke again, this time with disbelief in their voice "What how do you know that spell? I never taught that to anyone!"

Daedalus was confused but replied saying "I made this spell on my own."

Suddenly a wrinkled old man with dirty clothes appeared in front of Daedalus he was floating in a similar way to Daedalus. Before Daedalus could say anything the old man had started floating around Daedalus mumbling about things like 'Oh this is similar but that is slightly different, not quite as efficient but good.' Daedalus started to get annoyed and said "Could you please stop floating around me like that it does not help with concentration!"

The old man suddenly stopped and said "Would you like to learn under me? You have a great talent for wind magic!"

Daedalus opened his eyes wide in confusion and said "What, no. I don't even know you!"
