Alright, you two. If you're done, move your butt, Donne! I still need to inspect her to make sure she is fully healed!"

Donne moved to the side letting the old man to take over. He took a hold of my wrist and that warm feeling spread through my body again.

"So this warm feeling was your magic..." I muttered. When he heard this, his eyes bulged and he let go of my hand.

"Did you just say 'warm'?! You can feel someone else's mana?!!" I think I flipped some kind of switch... I looked helplessly at Donne, but saw him shaking his head. His eyes were glinting and shaking. What the heck?

"Em... excuse me, but... can you please explain what is going on? Ahm.."

"Oh, please forgive me. It's Aar. My name is Aar. nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Mirta. So, Mr.Aar, can you please tell me why were you so excited?"

"Don't believe this magic-maniac. This is not what you call 'a little'." A new voice appeared in the room. I searched for the source and my gaze landed on the door. A muscular, old man with short white hair, stood in the doorframe. I looked at him and back at Aar, then again at the new person. They looked like carbon copies of each other!

"Don't make me the only weirdo here, Huki! You, battle junky! Who said that they were so busy training, that couldn't do the dishes?!" Aar shouted in exasperation.

"Oh, shut up, poophead."

I stared at their antics and didn't know what to do. Who is that new person? Why are they bickering?

The one loud, old man finally noticed my gaze and smiled wryly.

"Haha, sorry young miss. I'm Huki, this guy's elder twin-brother. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Huki." I was still in daze because of their sudden outburst, bit still managed to get them.

"There is no need for 'Mr' thing. Just call me Huki or old man!"

Energetic, old man... not really how I would imagen elderly people.

"So, Aar, what the @$&# made you so excited?!"

"Wow, watch your language, training maniac. There are children present." Aar commented. He looked at me and continued.

"I got a little excited because I just found a gem in the pile of garbage. She can feel mana of other people! Do you know have rare that is?! It's not even one in a million chance! It's almost impossible!"

"So what if it is rare? Rare doesn't always mean good." Huki said with some disdain.

"I know. It's just super rare and since even I can't do that, I went a little overboard."

"Shity excuse."

"Well now little one, do you want to learn real magic?" Aar ignored his brother and turned in my direction.

"Hold on, old man. You said that she can't learn until she reaches the age of 12. Why are you rushing things? Also she is my student." Donne stood in front of me with displeased look.

"Donne, she might be your student, but you learnt how to teach from me. So if your master wants to teach your disciple, don't you think it's a honor? "

"Tch.. Then what about here age? She is too young!"

"No. You saw how she fought with that Monster. You said that you didn't teach her any spells but she used intermediate tire magic, although it was weaker then normal, since she didn't have proper control over it. She is an intelligent, little girl. I don't see any reasons not to teach her now."

"Fine. Do what you want. However!" Donne raised his finger," she must go home for now. Her parents are really worried. I told them that she is training under me and can't be disturbed, but it's been quite a few days, so I fear that they will panic."

'My parents... yes they would be really worried. I don't know just what kind of scolding I'll receive..'

I felt shivers run down my spine.

'I know! I push everything on Donne! I'm a genius!'

"Hey, poophead, do you think it's alright having this little lady come here every day? It's kinda in the center of the forest, you know?"

"I don't see any problems. Donne will bring her at first an when she gets stronger, she'll be able to come on her own."

"So, Mirta, will you become my aprintence?"

I was really delighted that I could finally learn something new, so I agreed with out any second thoughts. Donne turne into his Ago form and I rode him back to my parents. He knew where my house was, since during those few years he sometimes came to visit.

It was late in the evening when he landed on the backyard of our house. He transformed into the human, took my hand and brought me to the front door. I was sweating nervously, bit Donne didn't pay it any heed and opened the door with a shout, "Mirta is here!"
