n

nAfter i dropped the kid and the girl off at the inn, i requested an audience with his majesty. A day later, my request was granted.

n

"Your majesty, if i may.

" I requested

n

"Speak.

" He ordered.

nJust the sheer pressure of his words give off the feeling of a supreme ruler. The presence of a king is no joke.

n

"Yesterday, at the gate, a girl brought a kid who had suffered immense injuries and was passed out on the verge of death.. and explained that they were assaulted by a giant boar..

"

n

"And?

" With an uninterested tone, and expression, the king asked.

n

"She reported that the kid managed to completely freeze the boar and some of the trees in it's direction.

"

n

"Did you confirm, if what she said was true?

"

n

"Yes, I summoned mages to perform treatment on the kid while i went to the scene. It was exactly as reported. The boar had been frozen in solid cold ice. I used up quite a bit of my energy just to melt it.

"

nThe king perhaps realising the value that the boy possessed, asked another question. with a grin on his face.

n

"It took a former famous fire magician a bit of energy to melt ice made by a boy? Where is this boy?
