Earlier it takes me 10 minutes to go down this Erie stairs.

But now it almost take 30 minutes for me to reach the top. It take to long because of my heavy legs that so tired......

Even through I already reached the top of the stairs I didn't feel good. Because now I was sweating and panting heavily.

I'm more tired now than earlier.....
After a couple of minutes resting on top I finally decided to open the door.....

The moment I opened the door master was already in there waiting for me smiling wickedly to me.

" Oh your done already student of mine....... your already tired so you decided to come up"

" Yeah master.......as you can see I'm very tired"

"Hahahah. Is that so then let's rest"

After saying that we should rest master quickly started to walk heading to the living room...

I didn't argue no more on master and just follow him slowly.....

Now that we are in the living room I can finally see the deadly couch I gulp on the Mere Sight of it...

After looking at the couch for while I glance a little bit to master and I was surprised that he's also looking at me.....

Master gesture using his chin that I should sit on the deadly couch.....

"Eh is it really okay for me to sit there master?"

Even master already gesture to me that I should use the couch I still ask vocally just to be sure.....

Master didn't answer my question but he nodded and smile to me.....

Upon seeing that smile on my master face I didn't hesitate no more. And I quickly run towards the deadly couch.....

When I already in front of the couch I didn't waste any minute and quickly sat on it......

I was very sweaty that my clothes are soaked on sweat that I thought that if I sat on the couch it will become very uncomfortable......

But my worries was blown away.
I don't feel uncomfortable at all and It didn't felt that I'm sweaty....

All I can feel was the softness of this couch and my body felt sinking to it.

"Ha..... this is great"

I sigh heavily but this time it's not because of fatigue..
It's a blissful sigh I can feel in myself that I stay on this couch for a couple of hours no maybe a day all my fatigue on my body will completely gone.....

I don't know when but because of the comfortability of this couch I managed to sleep fast ....

" Argh..... ahh that felt great the best sleep ever"

I yawn and stretches my arms when I wake up I look around and see master sitting also in the couch crossing his legs in front of me....

Looks like I've been sleeping for a day long.. that's explain why I feel so much refresh right now........

I ignore master who's staring at my face with a warming smile on him ..

Instead I looked at the table in front of us I can see a remote control.....no matter how I look at it. It's the remote for the tv......

I quickly grab the remote lying on the table and pointed it to the tv. I pushed the on button but it didn't work..

Ah maybe it's not plug on the outlet. Upon thinking of that I tried to slowly stand up on the couch to plug it but. I was stopped by master..

" Stop student of mine....... that tv doesn't work and there's no plug in here in here in the first place...... that tv is just for aesthetic"

Probably master know was I about to do so he say those words to me ...
Actually I'm quite disappointed that the tv will not work.

So I sit down again on the couch I lean my back again on it and I feel like I will be asleep again.....

" I didn't expect that you will Last there practicing magic for long student of mine"

Before I even managed to sleep again master spoke to me....

" Well...i did practice a lot in there I feel that I've been in that underground for a week now already"

"  A Week?. what the hell are you talking about student of mine you've been in that underground for 3 months now you know"

" Eh...3 months? What?"

I instinctively stand up when I hear master words to me .

3 months how's that possible I admit that I lost track of time on there but to think that I was there for 3 whole months practicing magic. It make me shiver just to think that .....

" What? I thought that your aware don't tell me you didn't know that you've been in there for that long?"

" No I don't......I just keep practicing magic over and over"

" Ha is that so.......I even said to you that if you're tired you can came up here and rest but instead of heed my words you continue to practice.....I don't know what to think about this student of mine are you a diligent one or maybe your just stupid... hahaha"

" I'm sorry"

I just quickly apologize to master who's laughing very loud right now....

" Well at least you're stupidity Bear fruit. right student of mine"

" Ah...yes I can now manage to use 3 magic spells without collapsing or fainting."

I answer master happily but when I remember that it almost take three months for me to learn just that makes me a little upset on myself.....

Master who was smiling notice the change on my expression and demeanor.....

" Hey hey don't tell me student of mine that your actually upset at the outcome of those three months you spend in that underground practicing your magic.. right..."

Master ask me with a surprise expression on his face ..

And I just ignore master words and clenched my fist....and bit my lips...

"Ha..... idiot don't be so down you've done great student of mine I was actually expecting you to only managed to cast only one spell without collapsing or fainting but to my surprise you came up and now you can now use three types of magic spell and still remain standing and conscious........ you've done well. indeed even some of the magic spell that I thought you was simple and others can easily imitate it  but if they try it and there's a backlash of magic just like yours surely they will die after casting it.......so it's okay there's still time"

Yukkuri was carefully listening to all of his master words towards him he already unclench his hands and stopped on bitting his lips....the gloomy atmosphere on him was already gone...

But there's a burning passion surging on yukkuri's body he cannot wait anymore and he already wanted to start practicing magic.....

" Thank you master....... Then I should Head back now to the underground and practice magic again."

Yukkuri quietly and quickly rose up from the couch and ready to head back to the underground....

But before he can even take one step
Hi master stopped him.......

" Well well well let's not be hasty student of mine calm down"

Master said stopping me from Continuing to move forward.....

" Student of mine I will not stop you to go back there and practice magic but at least take a bath first. Look your clothes was soaked on your sweat that you probably smell.........and also at least try to eat what are you trying on  doing fasting for a whole year"

Upon hearing his master remarks he looks at his clothes it is soaked on his own sweat he also tried to inhale his scent.....

After smelling himself

' yeah It really is stinky"

Yukkuri felt awful at his state right now......

His master who notice this quickly stand up on the couch and using his chin gesture on yukkuri to quickly follow him......

Yukkuri who's seeing his master master started to walk also follow suit......

They are walking on the same hallway were the underground was.....

While walking yukkuri touch his stomach and gently caress it..

' He said eat but I don't really feeling hungry for some reason.'

Yukkuri stopped thinking about about complicated problem and just silently follow his master.....

It didn't take a while when they reach their destination but.....

" Where here now....... it's the bathroom go take a shower or a bath...... what are you looking at student of mine...... just so you know I will not enter with you nor I wanted to see you bath."

Yukkuri was now in front of a wooden door.... but his master was no where to be seen....

His master vanished after saying that he will not enter the bathroom with him.....

" Well since we're here"

I opened the door of the bathroom.
I was expecting to see a bathtub and a shower but my expectations was once again shattered.....

I quickly shut the door of the bathroom and quickly go back to the living room.....I look around the living room and a couple of second's I go back to the bathroom....

And once again I twist the doorknob and open the door....

I was really not hallucinating. Forget about the bathtub or shower the thing in front of me was more amazing....

A hot spring a very large open hot spring....

There's even a wooden wall surrounding the hot spring....

I also tried to look up and I was shock again because I didn't see the ceiling of this room...

There's no ceiling at all...
All I can see is the  night sky......

It's look like it's night time in this hot spring......

But despite taken aback on what's I seeing and happening I still wanted to take a dive on the hot spring......so I quickly take of my clothes and pants I put it in the cabinet with a basket that were I probably put it ..

After undressing my self I quickly pour Water on myself before soaking to the hot spring.....

"Ah.......so calming"

The temperature of the water of the hot spring is perfect even through I already recover when I was in the couch I feel like I will also be managed to relax here.....

I'm trying to not feel asleep but the hot water making my body and mind relax so much that I think If I tried to close my eyes I will go in a slumber.....

So I tried my best to relax on this hot spring without sleeping.....

I soaked in the water for an hour...
After an hour I decided that it's finally Time to get out.....

I grabbed a towel in a cabinet and dry my self with it....

After drying my self I try to get my clothes on the basket but to my surprise the clothes that dirty and stinky looks completely brand new.....

It's even folded properly inside the basket...I grabbed my clothes and smell it....

After smelling it for a couple of times I really cannot smell any foul odor...... maybe this basket had magic that will wash your clothes and dry it.. ignoring the concept of this magic

Seeing my clothes are already cleaned and wash I quickly change to it.....and get out of the bathroom....

And just like last time when I was in the underground practicing magic. When I opened the door of the bathroom there is master standing leaning on the wall with his arms crossed.....

" Oh your done already. I see follow me student of mine I will show you were is the kitchen"

After saying that master lead the way again towards the kitchen..

While I am always do what I do.
Following master....

After a while we're already in the kitchen.

It's a normal kitchen that you will see in a normal household..

I was expecting that it's probably Grand like the bathroom...

I survey the kitchen and I see a refrigerator I quickly go to it and open it....

The refrigerator is working master said that it's using a mana stone work....

I don't know what is a mana stone master is saying so I ignore him....

But when I opened the door there's nothing on it there's no food or drinks I was slightly disappointed....

After SEEING the sorry state of the refrigerator I finally close it....

After that I tried to open the cabinets all I can see is different tools on cooking and many types of seasoning...

After checking all the drawers in the kitchen I look at master....

" Um... master what will I cook in here exactly"

I question master who's standing in front of me....

Because there's no available raw ingredients in this kitchen.... aside from seasonings...

I was looking master who's pointing towards the living room.

Not exactly to the living room but to the door....

" Master.... You mean"

" YES student of mine you will get your ingredients outside...."

" But..."

I tried to question master but when I see his face that has a serious expression I didn't bother argue anymore and just go outside to find Ingredients......

So I was now walking in the forest alone I thought that master Will be at my side while I was hunting but I was wrong...

Master said toe that if I go far away from the cabin I will see wild animals that are edible..... first I was scared on this forest thinking to myself that I will probably get lost and can't find my way back home....but master reassure me that it's not gonna happen to me...he said that if I already Hunted enough and want to get back all I need to do is remember the cabin and I will not be lost....

When master said that I thought he was crazy and I was about to voice it out but I hesitate to do it and just decided to trust his words....

So now I was out in the woods looking for my future meal. I don't know how to hunt I was just standing in the middle of the forest with a knife that I grab from the kitchen....

I have watched videos on YouTube before about people who hunt deer 🦌, boar 🐗 and different types of animals but I don't have the equipment to execute it and I don't really believe that I have the skills to imitate what those people did.....

So I was just wondering without a single clue on what to do...

I see some fruits that eaten before I thought that I can eat those but I suddenly remember what master said to me before I go outside....

" Hey student of mine "

" What is it master ? "

" You better not come back here with only fruits in your hand alright.....or even dare to come back with out bringing any type of meat."

As I remember those words I look at fruits with a disappointed expression.....and decided to leave but before I go. I grabbed three pieces of fruit in the tree I will eat this Three while I was hunting....

Finally it was almost 40 minutes since I started to hunt and I can see my prey.

It a Rabbit 🐇 with white fur and red eyes....

But upon on closer look the rabbit looks completely different from what I see in pictures or imagine...

This rabbit my prey was almost five times larger compared to the normal  rabbits on earth..... there's also three horns erected on its head....and also rabbits supposed to have only Four legs but this one has eight...

No matter where I look this rabbit was very scary looking.... rabbit was supposed to be cute not supposed to be like this very intimidating....

I have a thought on my head is this rabbit a animal or a monster I don't know the answer on this thoughts of mine but...

I cast aside those silly thoughts of mine and look at the scary looking rabbit 🐇.

It's my prey it's my meal I'm going to eat it....

I decided to completely erase my uneasiness with what will this rabbit became...

I was thinking on Ways to approach the rabbit but I can't think of any decent..

At first I thought of throwing the kitchen knife on my hand to the rabbit but...I don't have the confidence on my aiming skills and if I missed the throw the rabbit will became startled and run away..... just thinking about finding another prey if miss I decided to not do that...

Second I thought of using invisibility magic on myself and slowly approach the rabbit and stab it with the knife....
But I also decided to not follow that plan because I remember watching before that animals was very good at sensing danger on their surroundings....and if the rabbit was sense my presence it will also run......

I was holding my head with both of my hand I was thinking very care fully on my approach...

But when I was thinking about on what to do the Rabbit started to move... looks like it will go run now....

I was about to lunch myself to the rabbit and tried to capture it when it's look like it will run...but I suddenly thought of something...

I remember the magic spell that I practice on the underground for a whole 3 months...

In this distance I can easily launch a water boomerang..but as I thought my aiming skills is suck unlike in the underground that all I hit is the wall this time the opponent I face is a living creature meaning that it will move the moment I attack....so it's much harder to hit it ..

I was devastated on what to do but I quickly thought of a perfect magic for it...

" Fire ball"

I remember the first magic that I cast on that underground the fire ball. It has a very wide range compare to the wind boomerang...

I thought that if I didn't manage to hit the rabbit directly It's fine because unlike the water boomerang that just shot straight and slice the magic fire ball explodes...... just remembering the explosion I created in the underground I can feel that even if I didn't hit the Rabbit directly I can still get him because of the impact of the explosion.....

After thinking of those I resolve my self and decided to use the fire ball to secure my food
