Chapter 13: Inglis, 12 years old
Six years after the baptism day, Inglis had reached the age of 12. In the pretext of serving Rafinha who had received a Bow of Light High Grade Rune and preparing for her enrollment into the Knight School, Inglis’ days of training continued.
Since her father Ryuk had begun to allow her to attend the chivalry’s training and exterminate Magic Stone Beasts alongside Rafinha, those had been productive days to hone her skills. However, she still hadn’t met the infamous strongest Magic Stone Beast that was said to be capable of demolishing an entire nation. It was said that only the ultimate Artifacts wielded by Special Grade Rune owners could defeat it but she wanted to see if that was really the case by trying her hand on it.
It seemed like its sighting within the country hadn’t been reported in recent years, the latest dated back to at least 2 or 3 decades ago. Apparently, there were some reports of recent sightings in the neighboring country — what she wouldn’t give to be able to travel there to fight one. When Inglis made the suggestion to Rafinha, the younger girl had been scared and refused to consider it.
Inglis wanted to get stronger, way stronger than anyone and anything else, ever. Living the life of a warrior is the way of Inglis Eux!
She thought as she stood watching her unwavering reflection in the mirror. The mirror reflected back an image of a beautiful girl with long, silvery hair, glowing like the full moon in the dark of the night, and a pair of crimson eyes that glittered as bright as gemstones. The smile that adorned her face could cause flowers to go into full blooms.
She had developed well for someone her age — she was taller and looked more mature than girls her own age. From her looks alone, she could have been passed off as a 14 or 15 years old.
She was currently dressed in a brilliant red gown, she twirled around and watched as the hem of the gown fluttered and swayed gently.
Mhm~ I’ve grown into quite a looker, all right. 1
Looking at herself, Inglis was certain that she would eventually turn into a peerless beauty.
