Tsubaki's Teacher

Several months had passed since Tsubaki's brush with death in the Mahan Republic.

After more or less teaching themself Magic Power Sealing based on being slapped by the old gentleman, Tsubaki was now making short work of a horde of Class 3 monsters in China's northern Greater Khingan Range.

The densely wooded mountains were cloaked in the same greenery they had worn unchanged since ancient times, while a group of headless horses that raced through the air had fallen into confusion overhead.

"Mimimi! Slap! Slap! Slaaap!"

Clinging to the top of a blackened, scorched tree with one hand, Tsubaki thrust their other hand toward the headless horses.

Every headless horse Tsubaki pointed at lost the black clouds wrapped around its four legs and plummeted while flailing helplessly.

"Mii-mimimi! Slap-slap, smack!"

Tsubaki found it fun and knocked down the confused headless horses one after another.

A horde of more than a dozen Class 3 monsters was not normally something that could be dealt with so easily.

After all, each individual monster possessed more magical power than Tsubaki. Tsubaki had to lure them out of the horde one at a time, create one-on-one situations, and repeat the process until they could finally defeat them...
