LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 5: Time flies by
Centuries went by and the dreaded day finally came when Irene met the famous Black Wizard Zeref. Akira was closely observing the situation with his Voice of all things in full gear. That's when he found out what really happened.
Zeref didn't cast an enchantment on Irene to change her to a human. No, what he did was cast a curse on her that would turn her back into a human. And like all curses there is always a catch. And that catch is losing one's sleep and taste buds.
Akira was really fuming with anger at that time. That bastard was clearly trying to break Irene. But his thoughts were stopped when he heard Zeref's thoughts at that time.
That guy had two different thoughts running down his head. One was filled with kindness while the other was filled with cruelty. It seems to make sure his curse won't be activated he must have hypnotised himself to be indifferent to life by becoming more cruel.
And what's more, Akira could feel that he was barely retaining his sanity. If Zeref's negative aura had any color then this whole place would be painted in that colour. This made Akira retract his skill as soon as possible so as not to be influenced by his massive negativity.
But although it was brief he did manage to learn some useful knowledge from Zeref's memories such as the creation of demons and black magic. If he remembered correctly Anos could also create demons with his blood. So this knowledge would be helpful to him in the future.
After their encounter, the story went as usual. Irene found that she couldn't become no matter what and her mind finally broke. After the whole drama where she still couldn't bring herself to cast the personality enchantment on Erza, she decided to send us away before she lost her mind even more.
As for why Akira is not a candidate for her vessel, well it was because Akira was already showing signs of turning into a dragon, so Irenen didn't want to switch bodies with him.
After dropping off Erza at the Rosemary village orphanage she flew away carrying Akira. Yes, she decided to separate her children as keeping Erza near Akira could be dangerous.
Although Irenen said she just threw away Erza at a random village that wasn't actually correct. She searched many villages and selected Rosemary village because it was a peaceful and safe village that had an orphanage that cared for children.
The reason why she didn't place Akira in this village is because these villagers have little knowledge of magic. So they would definitely kill baby Akira thinking he is a monster or a devil.
So after looking around for a while Irenen finally managed to find a place that would not discriminate against Akira as there is a wizard guild in the town. And fate would have it the name of the town is called Magnolia.

~Time skip 6 years later ~
In the outskirts of Magnolia inside the forests a little kid that is about the age of 6 walked through woods with practice ease. It was as though he walked on this path a thousand times. His red hair that reached his back danced in the wind breeze. If one were to look at him from afar they would think this kid is a little girl who was lost in the woods.
In actuality, the little kid who is named Akira couldn't really cut his hair as there was no saloon in the jungle for him to get a haircut. And what's more, he is flat broke.
Ever since his mother placed him in a cave inside this forest Akira was living and was experiencing the life of a survival expert. He didn't know why his all-protective mother decided to place him in the forest instead of the city.
And what's more, there is a barrier surrounding the place so this part of the forest would be isolated from the world.
Fortunately, she still had some conscience so she created a small cat that is quite similar to Happy to take care of him. Although the cat doesn't have that many combat capabilities as a caretaker her abilities are the best.
Thinking about his caretaker, a gentle smile appeared on Akira's face. Apart from Irene that cat was the second mother he had in this life. Although she could be very clingy she is the best nanny one could ask for.
While he was thinking about his nanny he knowingly appeared at his destination. It was a cave that was shaped like a house. Akira walked inside and shouted, " Sera I'm back "
"Welcome back Akira, lunch is almost ready so you should set up the table " a gentle but cheerful voice responded as Alira nodded.
As he was preparing the table a very delicious aura suddenly hit his nose. He unconsciously inhaled it and couldn't help but gulp his saliva. He turned back and saw a cat carrying a pot that was as large as her while flying.
Sera is a cat who is quite similar to Happy but is pink instead of blue. She had two red ribbons near her ears. She wore a maid dress that looked extra cute on her. Sera is in fact a sword that is given life by Irene. The reason why she is a cat instead of a human is something that would remain a mystery.
Sera placed the steaming pot on top of the table and dusted her hand while saying, "Their lunch is served ".
" You don't need to tell me twice, " Akira said as he opened the lid and looked at the pot of biryani with a hungry look. And without any suspense he took a spoon and started, filling up his plate. And after a small mountain was formed he began eating the delicious food at a rapid pace.
He only stopped eating after eating three whole plates. In fact had it not been for their stock of rice being over he would have begged Sera to cook some more. Even though he is a human his dragon blood made him have a bigger appetite.
Sera chuckled as she looked at Akira who had a disappointed face of not being able to eat till he was full. "You don't have to look so disappointed, you know. We could have another meal after we go to the city. "
Hearing this Akira cheered up immediately. Yes, today is the day the barrier is lifted. And he just came back after confirming it.
"Did you pack our merchandise Sera? "he asked as he looked at Sera with barely hidden excitement. Although they don't have any money but that problem would be solved after they exchanged some animal skins and many other items they collected over the years.
According to Sera, this stuff would fetch a huge sum since Sera was professional when extracting the valuables from her catch. Especially if they sell to the right magic item shop.
"Yep everything is right, " she said as she showed off her small bag that she is carrying in her bag. Although that bag may seem small, it can apparently store up to 1000 square meters.
"Well then let me finish my preparations too, " Akira said as he rushed towards his room to bring his bag.
After packing everything away the cat and the little kid came out of the cave and walked towards the city.
