章節 2: A. Goblin
Pino tried to believe what Balam said, he sharpened his hearing and confirmed that Balam was telling the truth. No matter how many times he tried to believe Balam's words, he couldn't believe it. How many years had he been forbidden by Balam to come in contact with magic for even a moment, so the mistrust that was in Pino's mind was understandable.
With a confused face and unfocused gaze, Pino said, "Father ... there's no way you will allow me to practice magic. Did the earth shake and the sky crumble until you can say this? You're healthy? You're not sick, right? Could you be crazy? Father ... listen to me, why are you silent? "
Balam who turned his back to Pino wiped his tears, he couldn't believe that Pino would say such words. Even though he had allowed it and restrained his ego, where he forbade Pino to come close to magic even though Pino had large mana. In truth, Balam didn't want Pino to learn even close to magic, it all started with what happened a few years ago.
Still vividly remembered in Balam's mind, where Pino gained immense power in the form of mana when he was four years old. That incident also caused him to lose one of the meanings of his life. He will never be able to forget that incident even today, with the influence he has, Balam can live in luxury and even become a military leader, but he chooses to live simply in the Ashmoss Forest.
Balam walked over to Pino who sat weakly, his eyes serious on Pino's. He was about to get angry but couldn't do it, he raised his hand and clenched his fist, preparing to hit Pino. He squatted down, and waved his fists, but not to hit but rubbed Pino's hair.
"Son, I know this day will definitely come. Magic is in your blood and it was passed down by your mother, I can't help it anymore. Letting you go when your wings haven't grown is a mistake, I can only teach you swordsmanship, that way you have a little ability. , Son, I'm taking you to Morshore City, "said Balam, he couldn't hit Pino even though he wanted to, so he hugged him tightly.
Pino didn't understand anymore, but he knew that his father wouldn't lie, in Balam's arms, he returned Balam's hug with a tighter hug. He had heard the reason Balam forbade him from studying magic, while hugging him Pino said weakly, "Thank you, Father. I will not waste it, I will study hard and work hard, so that I can make you happy. I don't want to see you live this miserable life again when you are old. "
"Yes ... Dad knows that, son. I'm sorry that I didn't allow you from that time, I don't want to see you hurt ... it's all over. You can go learn magic, son. Study hard for yourself, you will walk. on a difficult road. You have to be strong and straighten your back ... don't give up in any situation, you have to be strong, "said Balam who hugged him even tighter.
Without preparing many stuffs, Balam only brought a sword, while Pino also didn't bring anything except a sword. They hurriedly left the Ashmoss Forest and headed west toward Morshore City. They walked, because they didn't have a horse, not because they didn't have money, it's just that Balam prefers to walk barefoot than ride.
It took 3-4 days from Ashmoss Forest to Morshore City, of course they brought enough supplies for them to travel during that long. Passing through the shady trees and accompanied by the chirping of birds which made the atmosphere beautiful, so that they walked comfortably, the first day's journey went smoothly and there were no obstacles whatsoever.
Likewise with the following days, but on the last day something was different. They passed through an area prone to Goblins, Balam was not too worried about the existence of these Goblins, but he was worried that Pino would meet bad luck, especially when Goblins always flocked according to their true nature which was not solitary, different from a tiger.
"Son, this area is famous as the traffic of monsters and humans, in this place a group of goblins often appear, this shows our destination is near. Can you fight the goblins and kill them, if we meet them? If you can't do it, then we go back home and put your mind aside to learn about magic, "said Balam, he was calm as he watched the surrounding area. He was looking forward to the appearance of the Goblins so he could test Pino's attitude.
Pino was a little nervous when he heard Balam's words, he who had never fought other than Balam was unsure, with a shaky voice, Pino replied, "I don't know, Father. However, I'll do it ... if I can't do it, I will do what you say. "
Coincidence or not, from behind the bush came a loud noise. The voices were heard chatting with each other, but Pino didn't understand the language. He only knew if there was something behind the bush. Pino turned to Balam and saw a serious look on his face, he turned back and saw the origin of the voices he heard.
Slowly, several small and green creatures came out of the bush, not just one creature but four green creatures. A green creature with a scary face, its teeth not blunt, it looks like fangs, its face is ugly. With short stature like children, without wearing any clothes except for a cloth covering their genitals, they are the Goblins mentioned by Balam.
"Son, you see the ugly creatures up ahead, they are Goblins. Although they are not as strong as other monsters, you have to be careful, they are cunning and cruel. Usually they use a dagger or small sword as their main weapon, they are agile and very deadly when fighting at night. They will fight in a way that resembles humans, son. Fight them! "Balam said, he took a few steps back while watching Pino shoot forward like a bullet while swinging his sword.
So fast Pino's footsteps shocked the Goblins, one slash of his sword cut off the head of one of the goblins. When Pino managed to cut it, his body trembled because this was the first time he had killed a living being, he could still feel how soft the meat he had cut, which made the contents of his stomach rise, and he almost vomited it up.
"Focus !!! Look at your opponent, do you want to die, kid? Swallow them back and fight them, if you don't fight them ... you will die !!! They were immoral savages. They often mess around in small villages, fight and destroy them! "Shouted Balam from a distance, he knew this was the first time Pino had fought and killed.
He didn't blame Pino for feeling nauseous and nearly vomiting. He himself also experienced it even worse than Pino, that's all natural. However, right now, Balam wanted Pino to be stronger than him and kill the Goblins, he wanted to give Pino a real experience, so that he wouldn't be surprised by what he might face. Pino is used to killing animals, but what he is currently killing is a different monster from an animal.
