Exchange Between Pupil and Teacher

Magic has been around for no one knows how long it has been.

When Bourne asked when magic had appeared in this world, Ur answered that it had become part of human life and it had been so long that she didn't know how to explain it to him. From what she knew, the oldest record would be 400 years in the past, and before that no one really knew.

It was very boring at night, besides sleeping and practice, there was nothing he could do in that situation and he asked Ur about a lot of stories in this world.

Ur didn't really mind since compared to the past, her life had become more vibrant unlike when she lived in this house alone. She told Bourne about a legend of dragons, Dragon Slayer, Zeref, etc. She knew that she had lost his memory and she told him a lot of common sense in this world. She also thought that she should bring him to the town soon. Thought, one thing which she might afraid that he wouldn't want to come back to her house when she brought him to the town. But she knew that she needed to do it. Her feelings were conflicted, but then she noticed a strange expression from him.

"What?"

"I'm surprised that you know a lot of things."

Bourne thought that Ur was a bimbo type of woman, but it seemed that he needed to change his impression.

"..."

"YOU....?!"

Ur knocked down Bourne's head.

"It hurts!"

Bourne held his head and looked at her tearfully. "Don't knock down my head every time!" He was afraid that he would go stupid when this woman kept hitting his head since from her story, he learned that there were a lot of stupid people in this world.

"Hmph! I'll double your training tomorrow."

"..."

Bourne's expression turned pale when he heard it.

Ur seemed very satisfied when she saw his expression. She moved closer and kissed his forehead.

"Sleep."

"So my training won't be double?"

"Sleep now, or it'll become triple."

"....."

Bourne realized how unreasonable this woman was.

Ice and water. Both of them are connected to each other.

When the water froze, it would turn into ice. When ice melted it would turn into water.

Bourne, who was born with "Water" magic, was of course very good at learning Ice-Make magic. He knew that he could learn a lot of things, but Ur stopped him and told him to control his magic better and to strengthen his physical strength first. He could do pretty simple things such as generate water or create an ice cube. His magical energy was also very large for his age since his magical energy was comparable to that of a B-Class magician. It might not seem too much, but he was only five years old after all. When he got older, his magical energy might increase to the S-Class magician or even more.

If Bourne couldn't handle or control his magic energy very well then forgot to perform magic or became magician in the future. Frankly, whether he could become magician or not, it didn't really matter to him since he could also live very well even if he didn't become a magician. He could copy the novel, music, and various things from his previous life in this world and become rich. If he felt threatened then he could pay a magician to become his bodyguard. But when he told Ur about this idea, she became very angry and tripled his training that day which made him helpless.

"How can you think of such a thing? Don't you think that magician is very amazing?"

Ur had never seen a child, who didn't even want to become a magician. In her mind, she was sure that a lot of children would be very happy to wield magic and become powerful magicians, but her pupil seemed to have different ideas. Even though this guy was full of talent and he might become the greatest ice magic, his mind had never been focussed on becoming one.

"Ur, if I become a strong magician, then won't I be too perfect?"

Hearing how narcissistic this boy was, Ur couldn't help but twitch her lips. But she had to admit that it might seem so, it wasn't that she tried to deliberately exaggerate her pupil, but she had to admit that if he became strong magician then he might be too perfect, expect his lazy nature which she could ignore, but everything was perfect. If he was born 15 years earlier then she might be attracted to him, though, he is only five years old now. However, she had to admit that she was very proud of her pupil. She knew that he could learn everything easily, but she tried to stop him since she wanted him to control his magic power better so he could perform his magic in a more efficient way.

"So what's your point?"

Ur didn't deny nor agree to his statement, but wondered what he wanted to say to her.

Bourne coughed and put his hand on his chest. He stared into Ur's eyes with pure expression and eloquently explained to her about his talent.

"Ur, your pupil is full of talent. If he wants then he can become the richest man in Earthland."

Ur snorted, but amused by his words, she didn't stop him and let him continue.

"You know that when I become rich then I need a bodyguard."

"So you want me to become your bodyguard?" Ur asked while raising her eyebrow.

"Yes!" Bourne beamed with a smile since Ur could catch his points. "Then when that happens, we can be together everyday."

Ur was stunned when she heard his reason. She blinked her eyes and asked, "So you want me to become your bodyguard because you want to be with me everyday?"

"Of course."

Bourne nodded and continued his explanation. "In another 15 years, I won't be a young boy anymore and I'm sure that you'll still be beautiful at that time so..."

"So...?"

Ur raised her eyebrow waiting to see what he wanted to say to her.

"So at that time...." Bourne thought for a while before shaking his head. "Let me say it again 15 years in the future." He felt that he was too pretentious when he was about to tell her about his real feelings when he was five years old. He could say it again in the future since it wouldn't be too late since he was sure that she wouldn't take him seriously if he decided to say it now.

"...."

Ur stared at this little devil and sighed. Looking at her pupil, she was wondering how many girls were going to be played by him in the future. She thought that it would be good to guard him in the future.

"Well, let's wait 15 years later, thought, I would be an old lady at that time..."

Ur rubbed her chin and thought that she would be an old lady 15 years later.

"Even if you become an old hag, you're still beautiful in my eyes, Ur..." Bourne stared at Ur innocently, but her response made him regret his choice of words.

"Ouch!"

Bourne held his head again after being knocked once again.

"How can you say that I'm an old hag?!"

"No, no, of course not, you're forever 20!"

Ur nodded and seemed satisfied.

Bourne nodded when he saw her expression was better. He knew it was his chance to negotiate. "So Ur... can you reduce my training? I want to read a book at home after all."

"...."

Ur only stared at him expressionlessly.

"..."

"Can I?"

"...."

Bourne sighed and started to jog in the middle of a snowy mountain.

Looking at Bourne's back, Ur smiled and thought that it was really her luck to meet him on the snowy mountain.
