NOVEL FROG [12] : Airmid’s Magic Awakens
Don't Forget to Review!!
"Hoo!"
Sitting on the rooftop, looking around the village, Mika's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.
Tomorrow is the day Mika and the others will head to Orario. It is also the day he will say goodbye to the place where he has lived for nearly ten years.
"What's wrong? Feeling reluctant?"
Climbing up the ladder and seeing Mika's expression, Yahweh asked with concern.
"Indeed, but this won't affect my determination to go to Orario."
Standing up and looking into the distance, Mika said seriously, "We cannot stop until we reach our dreams."
"Quite determined, aren't you!"
Hearing Yahweh's teasing, Mika smiled lightly.
Then he turned around and asked, "Yahweh-sama, is there something you need?"
Hearing Mika's question, Yahweh's previously relaxed expression turned serious.
"Are you just going to watch Airmid and the others like this?"
"Oh, it's about that!"
Mika realized and then rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Ever since Mika gained magic, Airmid has been 'diligently' training every day.
Originally, the training tasks Mika and Yahweh set for Airmid and Mellie were already doubled, but now Airmid and the others are training at four times the amount.
This has led to them spending all their time either eating or training, with even their sleep time being reduced.
As for the reason, Mika knew it well.
It was dissatisfaction with her own strength.
Airmid believed that if they encountered a dangerous situation, Mika would disregard their agreement to protect them.
Although it wasn't visible from her appearance, Airmid believed Mika had a spirit of self-sacrifice.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened such magic.
So, she couldn't let her strength remain weak, in case she would drag Mika down, leading to his death.
Faced with Airmid's firm determination, Mika couldn't persuade her and could only let her continue training.
Additionally, influenced by her, Mellie also started training with Airmid.
After all, she was also part of the group Airmid mentioned as being protected by Mika, which was unacceptable to Mellie, who aspired to assist Mika in becoming a hero.
"I can't do anything about it! Yesterday I wanted to persuade her, but after seeing me, she trained even harder."
Seeing Mika's distressed look, Yahweh sighed.
"It seems like we'll have to wait until she figures it out herself. But who knows when that will be."
Staring into the distant sky, Mika remained silent.
...
After coming down from the rooftop, Mika returned to his room and sat at the desk to study.
And he was not studying anything else, but the interpretation of sacred texts.
In the world of Danmachi, sacred texts are used by gods and possess special powers.
The system of divine blessings is constructed from sacred texts.
Although Mika, as a mortal, cannot use sacred texts to fight, he still studied their interpretation with Yahweh.
As someone who could travel between worlds, Mika continually strengthened his foundation.
Who knows, in which world, sacred texts might have unimaginable powers.
Moreover, Mika knew that recognizing sacred texts was a prerequisite for acquiring the 'Mystery' ability.
As an extremely rare and powerful ability, Mika naturally hoped to obtain 'Mystery.'
Gently putting down his pen, Mika, feeling somewhat restless, looked out the window.
At this time, Airmid and Mellie, who were training outside, had not yet returned.
Before Mika gained magic, the three of them would sit here every night and learn from Yahweh. But now the two of them had stopped studying sacred texts.
This made Yahweh, as their teacher, feel a bit down today.
As a result, she had canceled the class.
"As the leader of the Yahweh Familia, what should I do?"
Just thinking about Airmid and Mellie's situation gave Mika a headache.
Although usually calm, Airmid never yielded on crucial issues.
She was very stubborn!
'Buzz!'
As the door opened, Mika quickly looked over.
"Airmid, Mellie, you're back!"
"Yes, considering we are going to Orario tomorrow, we ended training early today."
Despite looking tired, both Airmid and Mellie had determined eyes.
Seeing their spirited gazes, Mika, with a lot to say, couldn't find the words.
In the end, he could only watch them get pulled away by Yahweh and then sit back down at the desk.
After a short silence, Mika suddenly patted his face and then smiled bitterly, "Since when did hard training become a bad thing?"
Recalling his own training on the Misty Mountain, he had trained just as hard as Airmid and Mellie now.
"At times like this, I should support them!"
Thinking this, Mika immediately stood up and walked towards Airmid and Mellie's room.
He wanted to share his thoughts with them and support them.
But just as he walked into the courtyard, Yahweh's shout came from her room.
"This, this is!"
"What's wrong? What happened, Yahweh-sama!"
Mika hurriedly ran to Yahweh's room, knocking on the door and shouting loudly.
Soon, Mellie opened the door from inside.
"Mellie, you're here too?"
Mika was surprised.
"Not just me, Airmid is here too. Yahweh-sama is updating Airmid's stats."
Unlike Mika's tension, Mellie's face was full of joy.
"Then Yahweh-sama's shout was because?"
"Airmid has awakened magic!"
Mellie said with a smile.

==========
In Yahweh's room, looking at the paper handed to him, Mika's eyes kept shifting.
He wasn't surprised by Airmid's magic awakening.
Although originally, Airmid would awaken this group healing magic upon reaching LV.2, it was natural for her to awaken early given Mellie's 'hero shaping.'
What truly shook Mika was her skill.
Although the damage-sharing ability was amazing, Mika's eyes were instantly drawn to 'Immunity to instant death effects for the whole party.'
Obviously, this was targeting Mika's magic, 'Heaven's Fire: Calamity Extinction.'
When using Heaven's Fire: Calamity Extinction, Mika himself would also be burned away.
This wasn't because Mika couldn't withstand the intense flames, but because this attack itself required his death as the price for the ultimate strike.
But if Mika used this magic while near Airmid, under the effect of this skill, he might be left with a chance to say his final words.
Normally, entering a near-death state would leave Mika little chance of survival.
But this didn't consider that Airmid had the best healing techniques in the entire world!
Dia Flatter.
Orario's strongest healing magic, with it, it's hard to die.
