My father lay unconscious in his bed. Next to him was a doctor examining my father using a stethoscope, checking his veins and then examining a diacnose paper.
"What happened to my husband Doc" my mother asked.
In the room besides the doctor, Mom and I were standing next to my dad right behind the doctor.
Then the doctor who wrote something on the paper stuck on a handboard, then turned towards us.
"Your husband has been poisoned."
surprised, my mother clutched her hand and said. "What Doc, how can it be?"
"From the symptoms of poisoning and the results of the examination, there are solanine compounds that enter your husband's body."
"Solanin, what is Doc?" my many.
"It is a compound derived from eggplant plants such as potatoes, if this compound enters the human body it will experience poisoning that leads to death."
My mother stepped forward and took a hard shirt from the Doctor
"Death!, Doc w-what is this for?"
"Let's remember, Madam, I've also given you first aid, so your husband is fine, but he has to wait a few days for his recovery."
My mother let go of the doctor and said. "Oh, yeah."
I asked the Doctor. "When will my father be able to fully recover?"
The doctor replied. "Fast three days."
"so." My answer.
After that the doctor prescribed the medicine to my mother and then left the Mansion.

In the afternoon I got word that Dad was awake, he called me to his room.
I went to her room with a lot of thoughts, but I immediately hid it.
"Excuse me." I opened the door.
There appeared to be two men, one of whom was my father sitting leaning on a pillow and the other standing beside my father's bed, I saw him.
"Dad called me?"
"Yes." replied my father.
"Dad, what's the need to call me?"
"Dad couldn't train you for a while because Dad was sick" said my father. "For that, from tomorrow you will train with him."
The teenage man took a step forward and saluted me. "Young Master, my name is Sebastian Grayhall."
He was a young man who looked older than me with short gray hair and blue eyes, wearing a gray uniform with a sword attached to his hips.
If it's not wrong, he's the one who broke in when I rolled on the forest road.
"Hhh...!! did you open that time."
He nodded his head again. "It was nice to be able to help Young Master at that time."
"Huhahah's... T-thank you for helping me."
"It's okay, it's my job."
Dad nodded and said
"Well that's all I want to say, Rigel train seriously with Sebastian."
"Good Dad."
My father then looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian please train my son, no need to hold back."
"Ehh...!!" shock .
Sebastian raised his hand. "Okay sir, I won't let you down."
My dad's nagging satisfied. "good."
I who saw them could only be silent and dumbfounded.
***
The next day our training began, Sebastian and I faced each other. Our training ground is now on the river bank near the village.
Note: illustration of the village where Rigel lived
"In this world, there are six types of magic, namely; fire, water, earth, wind, light, darkness" he said
I picked it up and Sebastian continued. "Where the six magic is divided into two types, namely the offensive type such as fire, water, earth, and wind and the spicial type of light and darkness."
"Then people who are able to use magic are called magicians, and special in the military are called mages, right?"
"True Young Master, but as technology evolves, superiority
Magic began to be rivaled, especially since the development of Single shot bolt-action rifles and the like."
I'm nodding. "Yes, Bolt-action weapons are more practical to use than magic that must prepare Spells. After all, magic users in the kingdom are not too much of the total population, either, so the resulting mage was a bit of a regular army number."
"That's right, then Young Master. The thing we're going to start with now is to test what magic you have."
I raised my hand in front of him.
"That's not necessary, but instead I want you to help me develop magic techniques."
She's confused. "Magic Techniques, is that some kind of attack magic?"
"It's almost similar, but before that, there's something I want to say."
"What is Young Master" asked Sebastian.
Suddenly sebastian felt the pressure and movement of his body like he was being hugged from behind tightly, he was panicked and confused.
"Young Master why this, my body-"
I put my hand in front of him and walked forward and said. "This is my special ability"
She's surprised. "Huh lest-don't. but why?, you-"
I stopped him again.
"Sebastian, we just met yesterday, so before this exercise .. I want to give you a warning."
He was confused and asked. "Warnings, what does that mean?"
"Sebastian listen, .. If you get in the way of all my work, then I don't hesitate to get rid of you" I said with a threatening face. "I hope you understand"
His face was calm but sweat appeared on his forehead. "S-I understand."
I smile. "Thank you."
After that I let go and we started practicing.
"Sebastian can you run to the end" I said, pointing.
"What's Young Master for?"
"I told you earlier, I want to develop a magic technique."
"Good Young Master."
He walked far enough away from my place
Stand up. Then when he got to the place I pointed he stopped, turned his body towards me and waved his hand.
"What I'm going to show you is an early example of a technique I'm going to create" I said.
I've learned this technique in theory, so if it works I can develop it further.
I put up the front horses, clenched my hands together like a fighter.
Then raised my feet Bergerang forward by running towards sebastian.
when I saw him, it seemed that his movements were slowing down and so was my surroundings.
Whuuss......
As soon as I was in front of Sebastian, he was surprised to see me.
"W-What!?"
His expression made me satisfied. However, blood suddenly came out of my mouth in such a large amount that I became limp and made my body unable to stand.
"Young Master!!.., Young Master is fine!?" Sebastian asked, propping me up and directing me to a tree.
I sat on the tree with blood still in my mouth. Sebastian took the handkerchief he did and gave me water.
She asked. "Young Master, are you okay."
I replied weakly. "Ahh. don't worry."
"Young Master we should take a little rest."
I shook my head and immediately I closed my eyes.
***
I opened my eyes, looked to the right and left and looked up, it seemed that the day was beginning in the afternoon.
As I looked ahead, I saw Sebastian fishing by the river.
Immediately, I tried to stand up and approach him.
"Sebastian."
He turned and looked at me. "Young Master, you're fine."
"Well, that's how you got the fish" I said as I walked.
He looked at a rope containing three fish tied up and took it
"Yes young master."
I sat next to him. "Determinately how long I've been unconscious."
His head looked down "Umm. I guess five hours."
"Five hours! All that time," I'm surprised.
"Yes, actually I want to take you home, but I feel it's unnecessary because you look like a sleeping person."
"How do you know?"
He was a little reluctant to say so I urged him.
"Sebastian."
"How yes, Young Master sleeps while snoring and .. Your mouth salivates."
"A!!. ..a-what!" my face reddened.
"Young Master, your snoring is not loud" said Sebastia. "So it may not bother you, and for your saliva I've cleared it."
I still can't say anything.
My face was still flushed red, I was thinking how he treated me when I fainted earlier.
Sebastian asked me. "Sir, what was it, you moved so fast."
Hearing that, my consciousness returned and responded to Sebastian's question
"That's my new magic technique, as my defense and attack."
He was confused and I explained
"Sebastian I've learned magic before, especially how it works."
"Yes Young Master."
"After reading some books, I thought of creating a magic technique. "I explained it to Sebastian.
Magic is the ability to magically manipulate natural elements.
To activate magic, it takes magic energy. Magic energy is owned by almost everyone. Not everyone can use magic. It also takes practice to use it.
Then when I read a research journal, my interest focused on a theory, it revealed 'that the workings of magic follow the principle of the fire triangle'.
The core of the theory is:
"Magic is the result of a combination of magic energy, imagination, power/power, which has a relationship with each other "
Where magic energy as the base material is then processed through the imagination/images of the user and then released using body energy to remove it.
With this theory I tried to create a fighting technique that could at least match offensive and spicial magic especially the dark magic type.
"so." Sebasitian answered while holding his chin.
"If you've seen that I'm moving fast."
He's cackling. "Yes, I'm shocked."
"That's the result of the theory."
"Theories?"
"My magic energy I use as a driving force to make the flow of blood and oxygen faster, so that my movement becomes faster," I said. "but as you can see, one attempt made my body collapse."
I have magic energy, I can shape imagination, but the main problem is my ability to realize that imagination.
My strength was insufficient to respond to the technique I used, even if I used it once again it was likely that I could die.
Sebastian gave me a suggestion. "In my opinion, you should practice increasing your body strength."
"Um.. You're right, there are some things that I have to improve, such as the performance of the heart, the blood and lungs."
"But Young Master, I don't think that's enough, if you said you wanted to create a technique that could match magic, then what you have to think about is also the capacity of your magic energy."
"You're right, I've thought about it and found the answer ... But it's very dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
"I was thinking of regenerating magic energy with a short amount of time."
"It's hard young master, to regenerate magic energy in time?"
"That could happen, because I know how, but it could affect my health directly" I said.
Then he picked up a medium-sized stone, stood up and threw it in front of Sebastian's fishing rod.
"The only way is to train my physique, hoi... Sebastian, do you know how to practice that can improve your physical abilities and my magical energy capacity."
He answers. "There is, but it's also risky." While rolling the fishing line.
"It's okay, after all the magic techniques I developed also have risks."
Sebastian smiled a little. "Young Master, I'll guide you."
I put my thumb to him. "Please, yeah."
And from then on, me and Sebastian started training together.
