As we dashed out of the forest, adrenaline coursing through my veins, Hira's sudden offer caught me off guard. "So, I need to go," Hira said, extending her hand towards me with a mischievous gaze in her eye. "I'm Hira."

I blinked in surprise, her unexpected gesture throwing me off balance for a moment. "Oh, uh, I'm Kael," I stammered, reaching out to shake her hand. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Beautiful."

Before I could fully process my own words, Hira's expression shifted, her eyes narrowing playfully. "Do you want to die!?" she exclaimed with mock seriousness, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Taken aback by her sudden change in tone, I couldn't help but laugh nervously. "Whoa, whoa, let's not jump to conclusions here," I replied, trying to match her playful banter. "I mean, dying wasn't exactly on my to-do list for today."

Hira's punch landed squarely on my face, catching me off guard. "Are you trying to kill me!?" I exclaimed, rubbing my throbbing cheek.

But to my surprise, instead of answering, Hira's expression softened, and she reached out to heal the wound on my stomach. As her gentle touch worked its magic, I couldn't help but feel thankful for saving my unlucky ass. 

"Your wound is deep bandage can't simple close it" Hira suddenly cast a spell: Saints light! It glows like a sun and goes in to Kael's wound

As the light enveloped my wound, I watched in astonishment as it closed and healed before my eyes. "Are you a healer?" I asked, taken by the sudden transformation.

Hira shook her head, her expression serious. "No," she replied firmly, her eyes meeting mine.

"So, what magic do you have, Hira?" I asked, curiosity piqued as she flashed me a smile.

"It's a secret," she replied cryptically, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

With that, she bid me farewell, and in an instant, she disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a trail of light in her wake.

Woahhh I have an idea now what is her magic power... But I'm not pretty sure about it. Nevermind, What I need to do is find out where I'm right now. 

After Hira's departure, Kael takes a moment to gather his thoughts, still reeling from the encounter. He looks around, trying to orient himself and figure out his surroundings.

As he scans the area, Kael notices distinctive landmarks or signs that may help him identify his location. He sees a familiar mountain range in the distance that I remember passing by earlier. And I also remember Hira mentioned a nearby town or landmark earlier. She also gave me a dagger, she told me to keep it so she can recognize me when we meet again.

I do still have my map given by that mysterious traveler, I'm glad I didn't lost it.

I continue to travel north hoping to find the village that Hira mentioned. 

----------------------------------------------------------

As Kael travel northward, his thoughts lingered on his encounter with Hira. Despite the lingering questions about her, he pressed on, determined to reach the village she had mentioned.

As Kael walked through the dense forest, he noticed the changing scenery around him. Every step made him more curious about what lay ahead.

As he trudged forward, scanning the unfamiliar landscape, a rumble in the distance caught his attention. He froze, his senses on high alert, wondering what could be causing such a commotion.

Kael's breath caught in his throat as a monstrous silhouette emerged from the shadows, towering over him with an air of menace. He stumbled backward, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sight before him. A behemoth, muscle-bound and fearsome, loomed before him, its single eye gleaming with primal fury.

Kael's heart quickened as he sized up his opponent, realizing the magnitude of the challenge before him. Without hesitation, he reached for the dagger that Hira had given him, drawing strength from its familiar weight.

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, shaking the ground with its fury as it charged towards Kael. With a swift movement, Kael dodged its initial strike, narrowly avoiding the crushing force of its maul.

"The flash kacchoow..." Kael muttered under his breath as he danced around the behemoth's attacks.

As the battle raged on, Kael's determination grew, guiding his every move with precision and agility. With a swift and decisive blow, he plunged his dagger into the creature's eye, causing it to stagger in pain.

A mighty roar echoed through the air as the creature staggered, wounded but not defeated.

Summoning his remaining strength, Kael pressed his advantage, delivering the final blow that felled the behemoth once and for all. As he caught his breath, a sense of pride and accomplishment washed over him.

"This is the first time I killed a gigantic monster" 

While he was celebrating his win, the creature's body dissolved into a glowing orb, Kael watched in wonder as it entered his own body, filling him with mana power.

"What's happening?" he whispered, feeling the surge of mana coursing through his veins.

As Kael pondered over his newfound ability to absorb the one-eye behemoth's mana power, he couldn't shake off his confusion. He searched his memory, recalling the countless tales of heroism and magic from the book created by the great hero Guru, but he found no mention of such a method.

As Kael's thoughts swirled with questions, a familiar voice pierced through the silence. Seiya's voice echoed in his mind.

"Wow, I can't believe you survived," Seiya's voice reverberated, breaking the silence. "Well, you're ready now to unlock my gift."

As the name "The 12 Zodiacs" echoed in Kael's mind, he felt a surge of excitement. The mere mention of such a powerful-sounding skill hook his interest, leaving him eager to learn more about its capabilities.

With each step he took, Kael couldn't shake the anticipation building within him.

Seiya's departure left a bitter taste in Kael's mouth as her parting words echoed in his mind. "Okay, see ya, human! Good luck—you'll need it, weakling," she taunted, her voice dripping with disdain.

anger coursed through Kael's veins, his fists clenching at his sides in frustration. "Just wait," he muttered through gritted teeth, his jaw clenched with anger.

As Seiya disappeared into the distance, she couldn't resist one final mocking gesture. With a contemptuous sneer, she stuck out her tongue and let out a derisive "BLEEE!," further fueling Kael.
