Chapter 004 - Zephyr

Wynstan accepted the quest, he's up for the challenge.

Five people now are gathered at the door.

Paul is carrying Rudeus, at his side is his wife, Zenith. In front of Zenith is Wynstan and Roxy is facing them four.

Paul, Rudeus, and Zenith have a surprise face while looking at Roxy.

Rudeus is surprised because he thought that his parents would hire a stereotypical kind of mage, which can be described as an old man wearing long robes with a white beard reaching his chest.

"I'm Roxy Migurdia. Pleased to meet you," Roxy introduced herself with quite a flat tone.

'What the hell? Forget about the beard, she looks like her bush, hasn't grown in yet,' Rudeus thought as he inner monologue about Roxy's beauty.

Roxy is getting flustered about their surprise expression and avoids their gazes as her sight moves over Wynstan who is giving her a polite smile while his left eye is twitching.

"Oh, you're the um…home tutor?" Paul asked.

Roxy nodded, then bent her knees and met Wynstan at eye level.

Because of the eye twitch Roxy's thought that Wynstan is pushing himself to smile and that warms her heart.

Not the fact that she assumes that Wynstan is more introverted than her. Not at all.

Roxy then pat Wynstan on his head then asked, "Is he the one I am teaching?"

Zenith can't explain it but she was quite annoyed that Roxy is patting Wynstan.

Wynstan has this charisma that people want to monopolize for themselves.

Zenith suddenly lifted onto her arms then answered, "Na ah, You will be teaching my son Rudeus, ta dah!"

Rudeus gave her a wink with a happy smile.

Roxy stared at Zenith with emotionless expression then cleared her throat, "I see, *Sigh* You do see them sometimes, Idiot parents who think their kid has talent just because he's an early bloomer."

Roxy murmured but everyone could hear her clearly.

"Excuse me?" Zenith said with a scary smile which clearly scared Roxy.

Wynstan wanted to get out of this conversation and just cook food with Lilia. He had to admit that he really enjoyed cooking more than practicing magic as cooking posed more challenges to him than magic.

Zenith didn't let him go though. Even when Roxy left with Rudeus to teach him the basics of magic.

Zenith carried Wynstan all the way to the kitchen where Lilia is. They want to celebrate Roxy's arrival.

"Um, Zenith, can you put me down? I want to help in cooking," Wynstan asked.

Yes, Wynstan calls all the members of the household in their first name except Rudeus who everyone calls Rudy.

"Mou! How many times should I tell you to call me mama," Zenith pouted then looked away.

Wynstan massaged his temple and ignored Zenith. He then proceeded to join Lilia in cooking.

"Dear!~ Wynstan ignored me!" Zenith playfully said as she dashed to the living room.

Back to Wynstan and Lilia.

"Wyn, I will trouble you again," Lilia said as she put Wynstan onto the standing chair so that Wynstan could reach the table.

Wynstan has many recipes in mind that he got from watching T.V, He will tell the recipe to Lilia and then Lilia will help him cook it.

With that they mutually benefit each other.

"Is it just me or do we have less and less meat?" Wynstan asked as he began cutting the meat.

Lilia doesn't want to say that Wynstan eats too much for his age but for some reason doesn't gain weight.

"Lilia?" Wynstan asked again.

Lilia cleared her throat then said, "The hunters are having a hard time hunting as more monsters roam around the forest."

"I see," Wynstan said as he proceeded to wash the vegetables.

'Seems like I need to hunt the meat myself or my portions will be less,' Wynstan thought of sneaking out the house at night.

'A little white lie is better than telling him he ate too much right?' Lilia thought.

After a while Wynstan finished creating a new dish.

"Here Lilia, Ahhh," Wynstan said as he offered Lilia some food.

It's Wynstan's first time feeding someone so Lilia is quite surprised but quickly opens her mouth.

"Hmm, it's another fantastic dish Wyn," Lilia said with a gentle smile then pats Wynstan oh his head.

'I swear if everyone continues to pat me everyday my hair will develop a hand shaped mark,' Wynstan hopeless thought.

After cooking more food Wynstan finally received the reward he wanted to obtain for a long time.

[Cooking Mastery (Passive, Beginner) Obtained.]

Wynstan's usually calm and collected face got replaced by an excited childish smile and punched the air to celebrate.

Lilia doesn't know what made Wynstan smile that way but she can't help but to smile too.

Then the night comes and the celebration begins.

The drunken Paul performs his infamous wobbly dance and sword deepthroating technique as the family clap to give him a beat.

After the party, the family is dead tired and drunk as they go to their room and sleep. Wynstan saw this as a chance as no one would notice that he sneaked out.

Wynstan coats his body with Battle Aura as he jumps from the window of his room then casts wind magic to silence his fall.

He reached the forest after a few minutes of running. He had to admit that he needed to practice running soon so that he could increase his stamina.

His stamina and his mana are so far apart, I mean, He can spam advance magic now without a drop of sweat but running for a few minutes and he's already feeling tired.

Given that he's been awake since morning and did some heavy duty cooking.

'I am such an idiot for running if I can be flying,' Wyntan facepalm as he focuses wind magic under the soles of his feet. He then mixed fire magic to create hot air.

*Boom!*

The ground beneath Wynstan's feet got wrecked as he shot up in the sky uncontrollably.

But that is not flying or levitating, That's just an explosion.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," Wynstan mumured as he continued shooting upwards, Thankfully his Batlle Aura is in advance rank and protected his feet from being shredded.

He is sure that the explosion that big will also wake up some people.

While in the air Wynstan tried to calm down and analyze the situation.

The spell works, because Wynstan only imagines to go up and imagine how superman flying where the man of steel aggressively soars through the air.

Wynstan then uses wind magic to soften his fall. Earlier when he was in the air he saw no one was coming, he might have dodge the bullet in this one.

The knight of the village is Paul and he is deadass drunk but without a doubt there will be a series of inquiries and requests to check the forest in the morning.

Wynstan isn't going to give up on his dream to fly!

Wynstan tried again but this time he coated his whole body with slowly rotating wind then slowly introduced the hot air to the soles of his feet, his elbows, and back.

Then he slowly levitates, He can increase the hot air output to fly higher.

The hot air at his elbows, upper back, and feet will be used to control directions.

After more calculations and adjustment the system finally prompted his well earned skill.

[Zephyr's Armor (Active, King) -

Full Release: The user will be covered in wind in the shape of an armor with green hue. Drastically increase in offense and defense. The user will now be able to fire off missiles in his palm.

Partial Release: Invisible wind that will slightly increase user's defense and enable flight.]

This is the actual first time that Wynstan tries hard to earn a magic skill and It was fully worth it as he is now an unofficial Wind King.

A 3 year old and already a wind king, If anyone hears this they will faint on sight. Especially Roxy, she might have quit magic if she learns this.

For a moment Wynstan wanted to try the full release and fire off a missile or two but stopped himself. As a king rank skill he knows that missiles will bring him a lot of trouble when fired.

Remember don't play with missiles or you might incite a war.

Now is not the time to play, Now is the time to hunt.

And finally try the necromancer skill. It would be nice to find some minions to hunt for him.
