Medivh, in turn, opened a bakery in the town, not seeking to make much money, as long as the income and expenses could balance, it was enough.
In fact, Medivh's bakery had a decent flow of customers. Many of them were old customers who had gotten rich by reselling magic items from Medivh's shop back then...
In fact, these old customers still had the desire to resell magic items from Medivh's shop, and every time they would ask Asuna and others, under the pretense of buying bread, if Medivh had a change of heart about returning to his old business.
"Alright, alright..."
"Take your bread and go!"
Every time, they would be impatiently chased out by Asuna.
"My dear, beautiful, gentle, and kind Miss Asuna..."
"If there's any news about magic items, please be sure to inform me at the first opportunity!"
Even though these customers were chased out by Asuna, they still had good tempers, winking at Asuna and shamelessly saying.
Hmm, no choice...
In this world, who would be at odds with money?!
"There won't be any more! Don't ask again."
Asuna huffily waved her arm at those asking about magic items, saying angrily.
"That's strange, is August not home?!"
On the other side, Medivh, returning from his training, yawned as he entered the bakery. He looked at Asuna, Tifa, and Emilia in the back kitchen, and asked in confusion.
Hmm, ever since August was five years old, Medivh gave him more freedom, allowing August to wander freely in the city, as long as he didn't go too far.
"Huh?!"
"Young Master August has been out for three hours already."
"According to past experience, he should be home by now."
"My Lord, should I go outside and look for him?!"
Emilia, upon hearing this, was surprised to find that three hours had unconsciously passed since August left after lunch.
"No need..."
"Perhaps August was attracted by something new and exciting, you never know."
Medivh wasn't too worried about August's safety. The speed at which this kid's strength increased could be described as astonishing, without exaggeration...
Ever since August officially stepped into the threshold of the Ten Wizard Saints at the age of five...
A year later, at the age of six, his strength stabilized at the level of a veteran Ten Wizard Saints—the limit for humans.
Then, at the age of seven, he finally broke through the human limit bottleneck, reaching the Inhuman realm, which is the level where Ishgar's 'Heavenly Kings' are!
As for now, August's age has reached around eight years old. Even if he hasn't reached the Shield-class, he's not far from it.
According to Medivh's calculations, August would at most officially step into the Shield-class threshold by nine years old, and that's without him going all out.
With August's strength, Medivh couldn't imagine what in this world, at this point in time, could possibly threaten him?!
"I'll go look for him myself."
But on second thought, Medivh still decided to go look for August himself.
It wasn't that Medivh was worried about August's safety, but rather that it was almost dinner time, and Medivh didn't want August to go hungry!
Hmm, Medivh, this Father, was truly worried sick about August.
At the same time.
Behind Violet Town.
A young man with short black hair, wearing strange foreign clothes, who, just by standing there, seemed to represent an entire era, mumbled after seeing August playing alone: "Sorry, I thought no one would be here! After all, I heard that meteorites often fall here at night."
The person who arrived was Black Wizard Zeref.
"You are..."
August looked at the person who arrived, his pupils trembled, as if he had thought of something.
"You resemble a certain girl I met in August, you have a very similar, almost identical aura! Although I once swore never to get involved with anyone on this Ishgar continent again..."
"But I happened to establish a country on the West Continent, and now I'm looking for someone to manage it. Your strength is very powerful, so powerful that you don't seem like someone from this continent. I wonder if you're interested in coming?"
Zeref didn't know why, but the moment he met August, the idea of recruiting him arose in his heart. He had clearly sworn after that girl that he would never have too much involvement with the people of this continent again, as such involvement would only make him more miserable and painful!
But it was as if a voice in the dark was telling him that if he didn't take this young man under his wing, he would definitely regret it.
"My name is August."
August first bowed slightly to Zeref, introducing his name gracefully. Then, he looked up at Zeref and said seriously: "Father said that when meeting strangers, one must first introduce their name, otherwise it's very impolite."
"Uh, sorry..."
Zeref didn't expect that at his age, he would actually be taught a lesson by a seven or eight-year-old child. This made Zeref feel even more that this child in front of him was interesting, and it seemed that anyone similar to that girl was very interesting.
"My name is Zeref."
"My full name is Zeref Dragneel."
"It's a pleasure to meet you here, August..."
Zeref mumbled August's name.
'August' as in the month of August?!
August is a good day!
It was the day he met that girl.
Perhaps this is fate?!
