"Whoosh… Whoosh…"

Two fire Kirin's landed on top of a high mountain and transformed their Kirin forms into humans. The male human Kirin is Zambu, the prince of the Kirin race. The lady beside him is Lotus Fire, who came to help Zambu, track down his sister Kavi.

The winds howled a them as Zambu and Lotus Fire, both in their human forms after their transformation from Fire Kirins, came to a halt atop the mountain peak.

Their chests heaved with exertion, the strain of their journey evidt in their ragged breaths and exhausted faces.

Zambu hurriedly took out refreshing potions to fill up the lost ergy and passed a set to Lotus Fire.

"Lotus Fire, how much farther until we reach my sister, Kavi?" Zambu panted, his fiery eyes burning with determination to reach his sister, Kavi.

Lotus Fire, her mane of flame flickering in the gusts, retrieved a map from her storage anklet, her gaze scanning its intricacies. "According to that dead old man's words, he left your sister in Silver Leaf City. If we push ourselves, we can make it there in five days."

Zambu's fists clched at his sides, frustration evidt in his voice. "That old bastard died just with one punch and didn't give much detail about the person who held my sister as a pet. Anyway, we will increase our pace and reach my sister as soon as possible."

"We will, young master; we'll rescue your sister and bring her back home with us." Lotus Fire affirmed, her eyes fixed on the map.

"Thank you, Lotus Fire. Without you, I would never have found that old man who kidnapped my sister in the first place. Sorry for troubling you with this hectic task." Zambu replied with gratitude as he met her gaze.

"You don't need to say that, young master. It is my honor to help you. I'm glad that you asked for my help." Lotus Fire replied, folding the map.

They both gulped down the refreshing potions to refill their ergy and changed their forms back to evolved Fire Kirin's. As Lotus Fire took the lead, Zambu followed her at a close distance. Ev in that dark night, they didn't stop for rest.

Guardian sun fading on one side, casting long shadows on the vast plain of small crow forest. Near the large pond, Kt is standing tall with the bow in hand.

[If you are wondering about the time variations and sun position on the blue planet where Kt is living, the blue planet is more than 7 times larger than our earth and sured by 7 small suns. In a 7-day week, each day, new sun rises and falls to the other side in one particular place.]

Lambu is gasping for air and is still running a pig race to avoid Kt's arrows. With the help of Mohini's guidance, Kt learned a lot about spell casting and handling bows for longer periods of time.

Now the spell casting rate has improved to arrow spells per half instance [ spells/ second]. Due to his improved release rate, Lambu became a dancing pig who is putting in all his efforts to evade the arrow spells.

Ev though Kt's attack is not a threat to Lambu, every time Kt's arrow hit his skin, he felt like a needle piercing. Also, he can't use any instant magic as he need to maintain his idtity as a big, fat pig.

"Madam, it seems the night is approaching. Won't you leave for your home?" Kt questioned, turning his gaze towards Mohini who stood beside him in the form of an old lady.

Mohini pondered for a second before answering. "What about you? Won't you go home?" Mohini questioned back, thinking of finding a suitable answer after hearing Kt's reply.

"Madam, if we go back, I will stop at the periphery of the inner area and practice my spells. Day after tomorrow, I have a big competition to fight. So, I still need to practice another spell." Kt replied honestly, as he already believed the old lady, who spt a lot of time helping him improve his spell casting.

Mohini thought for a long time before oping her mouth. "I'm not going back tonight. If you don't mind, stay here and practice peacefully. But don't disturb my sleep." Mohini replied, maintaining a grim face.

Kt smiled happily and thanked her with a head bow. Mohini just nodded and wt back to Lambu, who is gasping for air near the pond area.

She commanded Lambu to bring back something delicious for the night, as she wanted to cook for Kt personally. Lambu's face delighted after hearing her command, and he immediately ran away towards the core area without looking back.

After distancing himself, he changed to his original form and flew to the core area. "How painful! Acting like a pig is really difficult." Lambu muttered, sniffing for a delicious beast.

Near the lake, Kt sat below a big tree and began meditating in solar mudra. Mohini also closed her eyes while meditating on the big rock.

As Kt is not focusing on improving his aura strgth in the secondary Magus chakra, Kt's cultivation has solidified at the 8th-class Magus stage for now. The other two compartmts in the second chakra are still empty, waiting for him to fill them up with aura cultivation.

While meditating, Kt pondered which spell to choose for practice. "After training for an tire day under the old lady, I can guess that I need a movemt-restricting type of arrow to win real combat. But mastering such an arrow takes a lot of time." Kt thought, thinking of the time left for the competition.

"Let it be... there is still one day. If I can't gain a minimum success with one arrow spell, I won't be fit for combat. I must do it." Kt muttered as he oped his eyes and accessed the Arcane Tome to find a suitable spell.

Ev though Kt is worried about taking out the Arcane tome in the presce of the old lady, he shook his head from that feeling. "If the old lady is a robber, she might have already stol the Victor bow at first glance."

Kt took out the sky orb first and activated its luminous function to light up the tree area to study the Arcane Tome. Ev though he can do the same with a spell, he decided to save the aura ergy for training.
