Scene:
Inside the jungle, countless spheres are hitting the ground.
Every sphere that touches the ground makes a 2-meter area completely vanish, as if erased from reality.
Meanwhile, Tianzhu is calmly walking between those spheres, approaching the monsters and their boss.
The monsters and their boss slowly step back in fear.
Boss:
What are you doing?! Kill that human!!
Scene:
The 20 monsters behind the boss launch their attacks together.
Tianzhu:
Petal Dance.
Scene:
In the next second, Tianzhu moves at insane speed.
A leaf appears in his hand, and within just 3 seconds, he cuts all 20 monsters into countless tiny pieces.
Boss:
?!! No way!!!
Tianzhu:
Now it's your turn.
Scene:
All the spheres falling from the sky suddenly stop.
Boss:
You! Damn human pig! You dare threaten me?!
I will kill you!
SOUL BRACE!
Tianzhu:
!! (shock and tension)
Scene:
The boss's body freezes and starts cracking. Ice falls from his body and turns into spirit humanoids made of snow.
They rush toward Tianzhu.
One snow spirit enters Tianzhu's body, causing extreme pain.
Blood flows from his mouth and ears.
Tianzhu:
!! Eee…! Aah!!
Another spirit tries to enter him, but Tianzhu transforms one arm into a monster-like arm and crushes the spirit.
Tianzhu (thinking):
I didn't expect this… This monster has Spirit-type magic!
Boss:
Haha! Finally, you're in pain!
Tianzhu:
But I think he still doesn't know that Spirit magic is the only thing that can affect me.
Scene:
Tianzhu is still in pain.
Tianzhu:
Aah… Pain Killer.
Scene:
His pain disappears.
Tianzhu (thinking):
I shouldn't delay anymore, or I might actually lose this fight.
Scene:
Tianzhu jumps and punches the boss's back.
Tianzhu:
Smashing Bust!
Scene:
Fire sparks explode, but the boss is unharmed.
Tianzhu (thinking):
Damn! His armor is too strong!
Scene:
Tianzhu kicks. His leg transforms into a monster leg.
The kick hits the boss, crushing his face.
The boss flies 30 meters away and dies.
Boss:
!! Agh…!!
Tianzhu:
Uff… Aahh… Uff…
Scene:
Tianzhu lands on the ground, breathing heavily.
Tianzhu:
That wasn't easy… Haah… Haah…
He walks past the corpse.
Tianzhu:
Now where is that cave?
Scene:
He finds a massive cave covered with trees, roots, and vines.
Tianzhu:
So this is the cave…
He enters. It is extremely dark, so he activates Night Vision Magic.
He reaches the deepest part of the cave but finds nothing.
Tianzhu:
There is nothing? Gosh…!
Scene:
Tianzhu teleports back to the palace basement where Rundie and Kelly are waiting.
Tianzhu:
Master, there was nothing inside the cave. It was completely empty.
Rundie:
What?!
Tianzhu:
I only found about a hundred monsters outside and their boss who could talk.
But inside the cave, there was nothing.
Rundie & Kelly:
A talking monster?!
Tianzhu:
Yeah…? Why? Something wrong?
Rundie:
N-No… There is nothing wrong…
Tianzhu:
…?
Rundie:
Anyway, there is something else.
Tianzhu:
What?
Rundie:
You are famous now.
Tianzhu:
Huh? What are you talking about?
Kelly:
Look at this.
Scene:
Kelly takes out her phone and shows him a video.
Kelly:
This video is from this K City. Someone recorded you fighting the monsters and posted it online.
In seconds, it got millions of views. It's been reuploaded and edited many times.
In short… you went viral.
Rundie:
Yeah… It took me at least 5 years to build my name, but look at you—less than one year.
People gave you a nickname: "THE LITTLE HUNTER."
Tianzhu:
Oh.
Rundie:
…Just "oh"?!
Tianzhu:
Yeah. Whether I'm famous or not doesn't matter. I'll still do what I like.
Rundie:
…! So you didn't want to be famous?
Tianzhu:
It's not that. I do want fame, but I don't want to forget my goal just because of excitement.
Rundie:
Ah… Ha…
Kelly:
Your student is smarter than you, I think…
Rundie:
-_-!! Hmph! Anyway, you'll go back to the academy soon. But first, you'll visit your family.
Tianzhu:
What about my training?!
Rundie:
Training is over for now. You've learned everything.
Tianzhu:
And what about the Elf Kingdom?! They wanted to assassinate me! You said that yourself!
What about my protection?!
Rundie:
Huh?! What are you saying?
You—who killed hundreds of monsters by yourself—can't protect yourself?
You can protect yourself now.
That training was exactly for this—to protect yourself from assassinations by elves and other kingdoms.
Tianzhu:
Hm… Okay, fine…
Rundie:
Then let's go.
Scene:
A portal appears, and they leave.
Kelly:
Good luck, Tianzhu.
Scene:
Rundie and Tianzhu arrive at Tianzhu's home.
Tianzhu (Narration):
I came back home. After dropping me off, Master left.
I stayed home for almost one month because Mom and Dad were very worried after my adventure.
After one month, I returned to the academy.
During that time, my video went extremely viral, and I became famous overnight.
I got many nicknames like:
The Little Hunter, New Face, The Great Pride, God Magician, and more.
After that, my academy life restarted.
Oh, and now my rank is:
PRO RANK – Level 1
