"Today's business is over."
"Everyone, please go home!"
After Asuna welcomed August and Emilia back into the item shop, she immediately announced the end of business to the customers waiting in line outside the door.
"Alright, alright…"
The customers didn't say anything about this. After experiencing the farce just now, they no longer had the mood to continue buying magic items from Medivh's shop.
"Sister Asuna, is Father still training?"
After August returned to the item shop, he looked at Asuna and asked.
"Yes, Father has always worked very hard."
Asuna sighed and nodded gently.
"Father is already very strong, why does he still need to train so hard?!"
At this, a look of confusion flashed in August's eyes, and he looked at Asuna, asking.
"This…"
"Because Father's enemies are even stronger."
Asuna didn't know how to explain, so she could only speak vaguely.
"In short, you'll understand when you grow up, Young Master."
Asuna said, gently rubbing August's small head.
"When I grow up?!"
August murmured softly.
In fact, August, who was only five years old, was already unbelievably mature…
Most importantly, the five-year-old August's strength was already not inferior to that of S-Class Mages of ordinary Magic Guilds in later generations.
This was an extremely exaggerated matter.
The most exaggerated part was that Medivh had never systematically taught August how to use magic. After all, in Medivh's opinion, August was still too young, and it wouldn't hurt to learn magic when August was a little older. But August's talent was too strong; he learned it just by occasionally watching Medivh use magic.
If one had to say, August was a person cursed by talent.
Evening.
Medivh, who had finished his training, returned to the small shop. He took August from Emilia's hands and asked, "How was your day, August?!"
"It was alright…"
"Father, there's something I'd like to get your permission for."
August looked up at Medivh, his large eyes filled with determination.
"What is it?!"
Medivh rubbed August's small head. He was amused by August's mature demeanor, like a little adult. Why be so mature when he was only five years old?! Look at Laxus from Fairy Tail in later generations; he's almost twenty and still acts like a rebellious child.
"I want to learn magic!"
August said seriously.
"You want to learn magic?"
"Why?"
Medivh raised an eyebrow. He looked at August in his arms and asked.
"I want to help Father fight Father's enemies."
August's expression was firm, as if he had already thought it through deeply.
"Hahahaha…"
"That's too early for you."
Medivh laughed upon hearing this. He waved his large hand, messing up August's hair.
"But…"
August was a little unhappy. Besides wanting to train magic with Medivh, he mostly wanted to spend time with Medivh. After Emilia started taking care of him, Medivh spent less and less time with him.
"Alright! I've agreed to your request to train magic with me. As for helping me fight enemies, you're still a hundred years too early!"
Medivh laughed, agreeing to August's request to train magic, and then poked August's small head hard, denying August's determination to help him fight enemies! What a joke, Medivh was an adult; why would he need a minor child to help him with anything?! That would be too embarrassing.
Even without Dragon Slayer Magic, Medivh was enough to suppress all enemies in the world!
Hmm, until decades later, when Medivh accidentally encountered Acnologia, he shamelessly shouted, "August, save me!"
"That's great!"
August reached up, covering his small head…
Medivh's fingers were quite strong, and the pain made tears well up in young August's eyes, yet he was still very happy, because in the days to come, he could finally spend a long time with Medivh.
As long as he could be with Father, he was happy.
The next day.
Medivh took August to the back mountain of the town to begin magic training.
"August, magic must be learned from the basics. Watch carefully, this is Creation Magic."
Medivh planned to teach August from the most basic magic. The first thing he taught August was Ice Make Magic, which he had secretly learned from Ur.
"Mm! Ice Make Magic!"
August watched Medivh's movements and skillfully used Ice Make Magic himself.
"Boom!"
In an instant, with August at the center, the entire back mountain turned into a world of ice and snow.
August's Creation Magic included animals, weapons, flowers, castles, humans…
It included all forms in this world. If Gray was weapons, Ur and Ultear were plants, Lyon was animals, then August's Creation Magic was… the world!
"Eh?"
For a moment, Medivh was stunned, wondering if it was his illusion…
August, only five years old, was learning Ice Make Magic for the first time.
One could even say it was August's first time learning magic.
His understanding of Ice Make Magic already surpassed Gray, Lyon, and Ultear.
At the same time, the magic power within August's body was rapidly increasing, visibly approaching the threshold of a Ten Wizard Saints.
"You call this five years old?"
Medivh was speechless at this.
