Strange Worlds-Chapter 205: Time Skip

"Ah, yes." Silas didn’t understand why this rank 7 magic warrior would pick him to cook for the other party. Of course, after a few days of interacting with each other and finding out the result of Aya’s food, Silas understood deeply.

It was because this rank 7 magic warrior couldn’t cook.

The more Silas looked at this rank 7 magic warrior, the more he felt that she resembled his student. But the magic signature was different and the magic signature couldn’t be faked. Moreover, if she was truly Aya, it meant that she has 4 different elements?

Thinking about a mage who had four different elements, Silas felt somewhat at loss.

He himself had four elements but the last element was forcefully added by himself through using some rare treasures.

And for this matter, Silas talked with this rank 7 magic warrior.

"Forcefully adding elements?" Aya looked at Silas in surprise, as she didn’t expect that he would do something like that. "The materials for that can be said to be rare even among the rank 9 magic warriors. You’re lucky to be able to find something like that."

Silas only smiled and didn’t explain much.

"Forcefully adding the element will be painful but if your compatibility is not bad, you can also advance faster in the future," Aya said slowly and after thinking for a moment, she added, "Of course, if your compatibility is bad, it’s possible for that element to destroy you instead. So you have to be careful when you’re using that element."

"Yes."

In the next period of time, Aya would supervise Silas in training. As for the magic element, Aya only knew that Silas used both dark element and wood element. The other two elements that he said during discussion had never been used and Aya didn’t ask.

They were only in a cooperative relationship and Silas asked some questions because he felt that she was more knowledgeable.

Of course, if Silas were to know Aya’s real age, he would be shocked.

In this way, the two of them got along harmoniously.

The two of them followed their agreement and it was mutually beneficial for both of them.

Aya would hunt some magic beasts and Silas would be the one responsible to cook. For the relatively weaker rank 6 and rank 5 magic beasts, Aya left them to Silas. She had no interest in killing these weak magic beasts and would leave them for Silas’s practice.

Aya’s action made Silas grateful.

After all, while he did take a lot of missions, but restraining his magic rank meant that his opponents had never been the people of the same rank. At most, they would only reach rank 4.

This made Silas lack actual battle practice.

As for Aya, she was adapting to the light element.

In the morning, Aya would go back to Wansu City and have a short practice with the puppet Silas and the others before leaving once again. Her other team members were working hard but they would always be beaten up by Aya effortlessly.

Sometimes, this made them doubt whether they were truly of the same age.

In the afternoon until night, Aya would spend the time with Silas in the deep forest, hunting various magic beasts and so on.

The two of them cooperated well and made sure that the two of them would be able to arrange and divide their work well.

The magic cores were divided into whoever killed the magic beasts.

Most of the magic cores that Silas gathered were only rank 5 but he was not dissatisfied because he knew that this was already his limit. Without Aya’s protection, Silas would have died thousands of times over in this area.

And the food was mostly eaten up by Aya and Silas could only eat the rest.

But for Silas, those were more than enough.

He was not like Aya who had bottomless stomach and could only eat a bit more than normal people. The physical training that Aya gave to him helped him to temper his physical body even more, making Silas stronger.

He was happy and quickly realized the preciousness of this skill.

There were not many magic skills that could increase one’s physical strength. Silas swore in his heart to keep this technique a secret and find out other ways to repay this rank 7 magic warrior.

The two of them never truly introduced their names.

It was an odd way to cooperate if one had to say.

And Silas felt that just cooking was not enough to repay Aya’s kindness while Aya herself didn’t really care that much. What she needed the most from Silas was his help to cook the food more than anything else. After all, Aya knew that Silas was not rich and his strength was not enough to help her in other things.

And in this way, a few more months passed quietly.

Some time ago, Silas left for Central Magic City. He had reached the peak of rank 6 and wanted to advance to rank 7. So Aya left him be and focused on her own practice. This time, she used various magic spells and familiarized herself with all of her six elements.

It was a bit tiring to practice the six elements at the same time, but the result was very fulfilling, making Aya happy.

’It’s been a while.’

Aya finished her practice in the forest and looked into the distance. She had entered far deeper than before and the enemies she faced now were the rank 7 magic beasts most of the time. Thankfully, there were no rank 8 magic beasts in this area.

She just had to escape if there was one.

And the time Aya spent staying in this forest was getting longer and longer, it was to the point that she barely had any rest in her own home.

"Fiuh."

Aya sat down and ate the roasted meat in front of her. Without Silas, the food was more tasteless, but Aya didn’t have to worry about someone finding out her real identity all the time. Even if Aya trusted Silas, she didn’t want anyone to know about her real identity.

Now, some time has passed and Aya silently went back to Wansu City.

In Wansu City, Aya treated this puppet Silas as the real Silas because she didn’t want him to know that she noticed his strangeness.
