Evolution of Slime to Peak

In the Arashi village, the construction was going at full speed. The road was covered in stone, and the cement-like thing was created with the different unique soil and powder of stone.

Ren looked at the scenery with a blank face, feeling bored. He wandered around and saw kids practicing magic.

"Wait, magic!"

Ren's eye gleamed. He quickly crawled to the ground. It isn't that he hadn't heard about magic, but he didn't care about that previously, but now that he thinks about it, he sure has missed the magic thing.

All the skills he had aren't totally magic.

"Oh! Good morning, Lord!"

"Good morning!"

All the children enthusiastically greeted him. The instructor, a middle-aged also bowed down, greeting him with a respectful voice.

"What brings you here, chief?"

"Oh, I just wanna learn magic." Ren regained his cool, he didn't want to sound pathetic in front of children. Even though he is a slime, he still has some pride.

"Well..." The instructor looked troubled.

"What? Can't I learn magic?" Ren's voice turned serious.

"No no, it's just that, I don't really know how to teach magic. I am the only one who could use magic here, but, I don't know how to teach other. So, I just teach them the spell and hope they will learn it. I only have fire magic, so only fire affinity children can learn it... So, I am just... umm.. guarding."

"Ok?"

Ren didn't think about affinity at all.

Affinity is the most important in magic. A fire affinity person can't learn water affinity spell, meaning a fire magician can't learn water element spells. There may be dual affinity types, but they are rare. Like 1 in millions.

Ren thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea came into his head.

'What if I eat those skills?!!'

He remembered his ultimate skill can eat anything, so it must include magic too, right? A smile curved on his slimy face.

"Fire your magic at me"

"W-What?"

Hearing Ren's words, the instructor couldn't help but clean his ear thinking he heard it wrong.

"I said, fire your skill at me!"

"B-But"

"No buts!"

He said and took a fighting stance. The instructor stare blankly at the slime, but he didn't care that his magic may hurt him. If it could, they already have won the battle.

He was afraid that if his magic somehow accidentally hurt Ren, won't his life will be in danger. He didn't understand strong people's mentality, who knows if he just kills him just because his magic is weak or it hurt him.

While the instructor's heart was in turmoil, Rnl already stood... in front of the instructor waiting for the magic.

"Hah. Here goes." The instructor sighed and aimed his hand at Ren. The child seeing this instantly got fired up. With shining eyes, they stood on the sidelines looking at Ren and the instructor. It was rare for them to see magic, so they obviously won't miss this chance.

Husss!

A fireball floated on his palm. Fireball is the most basic spell of any fire magician. This spell is their pride since they start with this.

Ren's heart thumped looking at the fire.

Magic is soo cool!

His heart was taken by the fire, as he saw it coming toward him. The ball of fire reached near Ren's face.

Ren opened his mouth and ate the fire. He feared it would blow but thankfully, the fire extinguished entering his mouth.

His mind tingled!

[Fireball: Create a ball of fire a size of a cricket ball. Explode on impact.]

"Wut?"

Ren titled his head.

Size of a cricket ball?

The fireball he just saw was the size of a football. It was slightly shorter than himself. And now, the skill he received, its power is worse than the original.

"So, I get some part of the skill, I see."

He sighed.

"Do you have other skills?"

He asked the instructor whose eyes were wide open seeing the slime eating his fireball like it was nothing.

"Y-Yeah, I only have another skill."

"Ok, then."

Ren took the stance. It signaled the instructor to cast. The instructor couldn't do anything but cast "Raging Fire!"

With a shout, a small tornado of fire was created. The tornado was full of fire, and it burnt the grasses on the ground to ashes.

The air warmed and a warm breeze blew.

The children who were amazed by the fireball and stunned by the slime eating the fire also felt the change in temperature. They moved back as they sweated like a river.

But or Ren, he had heat resistance, it wasn't that much, but he couldn't feel the hotness of the fire tornado.

The raging fire inside the tornado moved toward Ren. Ren opened his mouth and increased his size. The fire tornado still was bigger than him, but except for eating the tornado, he started sucking it.

Like a vacuum cleaner sucking the dirt from the floor, Ren sucked the fire from the tornado along with the wind.

In just a minute, he sucked all the fire and wind, leaving the surroundings the same as it was early before the tornado appeared.

"What!"

The instructor's eye nearly popped out. Who would believe him, if he said a slime sucked a fire tornado. Even though the raging fire spell may not be that strong, it was still powerful.

The instructor sighed, he couldn't understand the slime common sense. He ate everything that came to him like a child who would put anything in their mouth.

The instructor sighed and left the area, if he stayed there a bit longer, he would just get mental. Ren gained another skill.

[Raging Fire: Creates a tornado of 3 feet. Burns anything that comes in its way.]

"Nice!"

He smiled happily at the screen and also left the area. Only the children were left who looked at each other. "What should we do now?"

"Let's just practice magic."

"Yeah."

"But that was cool, super cool."

"Yeah"

All of them had seen a breathtaking scene. The scene of Ren eating magic was so cool for children. Why wouldn't it be cool, they had heard that magic was so cool. They could do anything with magic, they will be strong with magic.

But now someone has eaten that magic, and it was their lord.

They couldn't explain the feeling they had in their heart.

And they all continued their training in silence.
