Chapter 7: Training? Not really.

Still on the same night, Alan and Milanni chatted

"300 years ago, I was 4 years old when my village was attacked. I don't know after that, I don't have any recollections how my parents looked like. I wake up in this forest with no name. A witch approaches me and then took me in to her house, this house particularly, sheltered me and she treated me as her own child. Her name is Ilti, she a witch that became my mother figure for 12 years of her taking care of me. Then, A rival witch from another clan attacks my mother with no reason. She called herself Teina. My mother managed to defeat Teina but she get cursed. A curse that seal her powers whenever she steps out from the forest. After that, my mother died days after they fought. The rival witch was still alive but she's on a spirit form, tried to possess my body but my mother decided to also possess my body, merging their soul, her body and myself into one. In the end, the curse was still here. It is me who inherited the curse. After those events, I never left this place ever since that day. Then many years had passed, I became known as the cruel witch whoever person I meet because of Teina's evil attitude towards people."

The boy bob his head as he listens to the witch's short history.

"That's why whenever I try to speak to you, you misunderstand me?"

"Uhuhm."

In Alan's perspective, Milanni is just an abnormal woman who never experienced a normal person's life. She's a just a tool with no other purpose.

"You are basically same as me." Alan said that with a reminiscence of his other self's memories.

"Two of us in the same boat, huh? Not a bad idea."

She cleans up the empty bottle on the table and put it on her spatial magic for refilling it later.

"Alright. I have decided!"

She grabs Alan's hands then she squeeze it into her chest.

"Let's teach each other, Alan, or should I say, Master?"

Alan looks away in embarrassment because he smell the alcohol from Milanni's mouth and his hands is warmed by her big breasts.

"Uhh. Yeah?" (I cringed for a moment.)

•

Almost two weeks has been passed, Alan and Milanni share their knowledge and experiences together. Even though the fact that they always conflicting each other, they always come to a conclusion of solving by combining everything what they know and changed their world views forever.

But some issues cannot be simply be fixed by just doing it together. What could be possibly the problem?

The witch is tall.

Yes, you heard it right. She is taller than the basketball players in Earth, she at 193 cm of height. And I forgot to mention, she's a slender woman.

Her body composition cannot possibly handle a training of a newbie practitioner regardless of her efforts to learn a martial art.

"Ggguuhh! This is so hard!"

"This is almost the same training you did prepare for me but this is way lighter."

"That's for magic! MAGIC! I train your body to handle mana! Damn it!"

The witch was frustrated when the boy make her discouraged on her efforts to become a martial art practitioner.

"Hohoho. That's not how you treat your master. Mi-la-nni~" Alan changes his attitude by becoming smug.

"I'M YOUR ELDER WHEN IT COMES TO MAGIC, DIMWIT! UGGGHHH!!!!! This is sooo hard." She expresses her frustrations towards the boy, again.

"It's not been 1 week since we start, master miss-cruel-witch. All you do is whining and crying out your complaints. You act like a spoiled brat who refuse to learn martial arts but you had to do it anyway. What are you? A kid? Like me? Well, I did complain a little but that's when I'd like to know why are you angry for no reason! Shut up and do this training! You made me like an old man scolding his stubborn student who refuses to do an effort."

While Alan is speaking a mouthful of words of yammering his complains towards Milanni, she remembered something.

Her mind scrambling on a deep thinking, digging ideas, remembering the stories and the rumours about a potion that can make a person to be youthful.

(Me old? Becoming young again? A fountain of youth? Youthful restoration book? Potion of youth? Apple of Youth? Alchemy!)

She then holds Alan's mouth to shut him off from spewing more unnecessary nonsense. She face in front of Alan to say her ideas with a delightful look in her eyes.

"Alchemy! Alchemy! We make a potion so I can be young like you! I can be young again! Me a young woman, ehehehehehe."

He titled his head, questioning her sanity whether she's still her or not.

"Are you paranoid or something?"

"That's it! Help me find the book contains Alchemy. I'm sure the former witch has those books! If we can't find the recipe on it, and since I have the memories of the rival witch, we can go there and find the recipe in that book!"

"Uhh... The training?"

"We'll do it later. What's important is I want to become young again!"

"But, the training..."

Alan can't stop her diligence to find a book of Alchemy that contains the youth restoration potion recipe.

He sighed with a tired look in his eyes seeing Milanni is up to something he cannot expect it.

(Well, I guess I should just follow the flow for now. She probably doesn't want to leave in this place anyhow. But heck, she's kind of adorable when she's like that. I wish she could be always like that. That's impossible.)

They both went back to the library inside of the the witch house to begin their search for a miracle.
