"Rest assured."
"I will absolutely never let that kind of thing happen!"
"As long as I am here, I will absolutely not let you fall into such a dangerous situation."
Id looked at Ur seriously, his eyes revealing incredibly strong emotion.
"..."
Ur remained silent. After locking eyes with Id for a few seconds, she was the first to turn her head away. Her small hand touched her hot, pretty face as she whispered, "Idiot."
"As expected, Ur is still very cute."
Id took note of Ur's small movements, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
However, Id didn't have time to 'flirt' with Ur right now. His mind was full of the power of the Super Magic 'Iced Shell' that Ur had just demonstrated.
At the same time, Id realized that he couldn't equate the experts of the One Piece world with the experts of this world based on life hierarchy alone.
Because experts in this world often mastered one or two killing moves that surpassed their own level, allowing them to fight above their weight class.
As for the experts in the One Piece world, they were more like two tanks chipping away at each other. Powerhouses at the same stage couldn't determine a winner without fighting for several days and nights.
(Ace and Jinbe fought one-on-one for five days and nights. For Emperor-level and above powerhouses, a duel would start at ten days or half a month.)
And so.
Another four months flashed by.
Id's magic power finally rose to the LV8 level, reaching the limit of humanity (comparable to Jura during the Grand Magic Games and Makarov at the current stage).
Magic Source:
First Magic Source:
Deep Meditation State: Gain 100 Magic Points every second.
Dormant State: Gain 10 Magic Points every second.
Current Magic Points: 0
Magic:
Ice-Make Magic: LV8 (+)
"Ur."
"Now you really have to call me Teacher."
After breaking through to the 'Human Limit' level, Id looked at Ur and said with a chuckle.
"Hmph!"
"I will definitely surpass you, Id."
"I definitely will!"
"Just you wait and see!"
Ur glared at Id and declared loudly.
"Speaking of which."
"The side effect of Iced Shell is that oneself irreversibly turns into ice, but it doesn't mean the caster dies because of it. The life force still exists, it just resides within the ice and snow."
"If that's the case, as long as I can get Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit or Monet's Snow-Snow Fruit for Ur, wouldn't that mean Ur could release 'Iced Shell' without restriction?!"
"In that case, Ur could use 'Iced Shell', a bottom-of-the-box trump card that can usually only be used once in a lifetime, as a basic magic spell."
During the months spent with Ur, while the feelings between Id and Ur were constantly heating up, he was still constantly researching the Super Magic 'Iced Shell' that Ur had created.
It had to be said, Ur was a genuine genius!
After Id thoroughly researched 'Iced Shell', he had endless admiration for Ur's whimsical ideas and found them astonishing.
After all, this was a magic that contained the legendary attribute of 'disappearance'. It was a magic that would even amaze the Spriggan 12 of the Alvarez Empire.
At the same time, Id finally found a way to remove the side effects of Ur's Super Magic 'Iced Shell'.
The moment Id thought about finding a way to travel back to the One Piece world, finding a suitable Logia Devil Fruit for Ur, and helping Ur remove the side effects of 'Iced Shell', thereby giving birth to a female mage who could release Iced Shell without limit, he felt both excited and got a headache.
The headache was that Id was afraid he wouldn't be able to 'suppress' Ur when the time came.
The excitement was that, in this way, Id wouldn't have to worry about Ur being in danger.
After all, by then, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be Ur's opponent, right?
A few days later.
The date arrived at February 13th, Year X763.
"Id."
"Tomorrow is the Ice Crystal Festival in town."
"Let's take a day off and go to town to celebrate!"
Ur said to Id with a smile.
"Okay."
Id agreed without even thinking.
The next day.
The day of the Ice Crystal Festival.
Id and Ur came down from the back mountain and arrived in the town filled with the 'flavor of the new year'.
The two looked at the vendors constantly shouting in the town, and the streets full of laughter and children playing and running around, with smiles on their lips.
This peaceful and serene scene soothed the pressure Id and Ur bore and the tense emotions from their daily training.
It also gave Ur, who had always felt a sense of tension from the bottom of her heart, a moment of peace. Accompanied by the improvement in her state of mind, Ur discovered that she had also made some breakthroughs in her magic mastery, getting closer to reaching the next realm. It was a double blessing.
"Magic really isn't something that can be mastered in a day or two. How could I have forgotten that?!"
Ur smiled. She laughed at her former self for forgetting her original intention in learning magic, all because she met Id, a guy for whom breaking through was as simple as drinking water.
"Wow."
"There's a vendor selling Fruit Rock Candy over here."
"Great."
As Ur was thinking this, her peripheral vision suddenly noticed a small stall not far away selling Fruit Rock Candy, a specialty of the Ice Crystal Festival. The corners of her mouth rose, and she pulled Id over.
"Boss."
"Two Fruit Rock Candies."
Like a child, Ur bought two Fruit Rock Candies from the stall owner and handed one to Id.
"Oh!"
"Fruit Rock Candy?"
"This is quite similar to the Tanghulu from my hometown."
After taking the Fruit Rock Candy from Ur's hand, Id looked at the fruit covered in sugar frosting in his hand and smiled.
"Tanghulu?"
Ur looked at Id with some confusion.
"A specialty from my hometown."
"A food similar to this Fruit Rock Candy."
Id explained truthfully.
"Haha."
"As expected, delicious things will be discovered by people no matter which world they are in."
Hearing this, Ur immediately laughed.
"Hmm?!"
It was also at this moment that Ur suddenly realized her hand was still tightly holding Id's hand.
"Id, I..."
Ur just remembered that in her moment of eagerness after noticing the Fruit Rock Candy vendor, she had subconsciously grabbed Id's hand. Her face blushed with shame. She constantly thought of wording in her mouth and subconsciously intended to let go of Id's hand.
"Ur, I..."
However, Id did not let Ur's hand 'run' away. He firmly grabbed Ur's small hand, his eyes exceptionally serious.
"Id, you..."
Ur only felt her heartbeat accelerating constantly. Her usually cool cheeks were completely red. She lowered her head and said, "I agree."
"Ur, what flavor is your Fruit Rock Candy?"
"Mine seems to be cherry flavor."
However, just as Ur was anticipating what Id would say, Id suddenly asked Ur a question.
"Huh?"
Ur was stunned. She seemed not to have expected Id to ask this question.
No, she was ready to agree, and Id hits her with this?
