Chapter 5: Learning magic is a hard way.

Several months has passed since Alan has been through the hellish training of Milanni the cruel witch, which of course she is cruel, a very delinquent witch.

Beatings, Abuse, Violence, any inhumane acts, to Meditation, Meditation, meditation, and meditation, to ground improvement, character development, physical development, mental development, then repeat the process countless times in the span of 8 months.

This training wasn't supposed to be hard but since the witch knows that Alan has a little time left for easy things. She's obliged to make the young boy use magic with elemental affinities.

Milanni took a vegetated Alan into her house to treat him.

"The results are really surprising, dimwit. You failed my expectations for you and changed it entirely but exceeding it. HOW?"

"..." Alan chose not to speak but in his mind, the real sane him complains. (What the hell?! [3x]. I'm thanking my sanity for not giving up this cruel training. This is hell! No wonder why she's called the cruel witch.)

"And I don't give unreasonable trainings to those who want to learn magic in short time. Hmph, you are just like your parents." Milanni replies like she reads Alan's mind.

"I give up."

"Don't give up yet. It's about time to begin your magic training."

Milanni pulled out several vials and pills from her storage spell.

"This is a pure blood of a demon, a blood of the high elf, the essence of the fire phoenix, the holy water, dryad's seed pill, and soul pills from the cultivist in the east. I will each try to inject it's magic affinities to your body. If you happen to absorb atleast one of it. Don't worry about the cost, this is what I can do. Think of it as an experiment and you are the subject. I'd still like to try many sessions for you." the witch grinned for saying that.

(oh hel-) Then he lost his consciousness.

•

The boy is on the state of tranquility. A surge of multiplying power energy surges into his body as if like it all combined into one. Shortly around an hour, he woke up. He felt so much power than before. The only issue is he feel too much of it but he can gist his mind to control it, and he smells dreadfully stinky.

"What is this goo-ish substance on my body? So smelly as hell."

Milanni, was there for the whole hour of converting the materials into raw magical affinity and inject it into the boy's body.

"Go out now and get to the river nearby. I can't hold up to your smell. GO AWAY NOW!" She hold her mouth to endure the smelly mess from the young boy's body.

"O-Okay, Master!"

Alan hurriedly fled away from the witch's house to clean up himself on the nearby river.

Stenchy smell of dead cells, rotten lump of blood, and an oily bodily fluids was washed away but the river was colored in dark gray-ish violet after he finished cleaning up himself.

"This is like I was cursed. The smell is so stenchy, I might vomit if I have a weak guts."

"Umu." The witch nods in agreement.

"Then, what is my magic affinity? What magic will I use? Teach me, Master." An obedient boy asked the witch.

"I can assume that you know what magic is."

(Oh no, she didn't listen.)

The witch turned her hands upwards and formed a fireball then she throws it towards half-naked Alan.

He dodges the incoming attack causing him to panic.

"What was that for? Are you trying to kill me?"

"Try to imitate what I do, if you can."

Then she cast multiple fireballs to barrage the half-naked boy but he dodges her spells perfectly.

"Now we're talkin'."

Alan instinctively quick-cast a water spear spell into Milanni's like he is playing a VR game.

"You will not want this, Master."

"Ho. Then come and throw your water spear on me."

The witch smugly smiled at the boy underestimating his intentions.

But the table has turned against for the witch. The boy shoot the spear faster than hers.

(What? How did he do that? That's not normal for a kid.)

"How's this?"

Milanni provoke Alan for more fight.

"Well then, Master."

They went fighting for 3 days straight until their mana is exhausted.
