Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The fire dragon was so strong that it could not resist the attack.

‘Crack, crack, boom——’

Beichen stomped his feet lightly on the dragon's belly, and then countless unknown trees and vines pushed open the cracked and dry ground and climbed towards the flame dragon.

After a while, the flame dragon was wrapped like a zongzi.

‘Roar——’

When the flame dragon's last roar fell, even its mouth was tied together by the vines.

Unable to attack Beichen with its body, it could not threaten Beichen with its roar.

The red dragon could only stare at Beichen with its only remaining eye.

Beichen naturally didn't care about this.

Looking at his masterpiece, Beichen rubbed his chin and said with some regret:

"Tsk tsk, what a pity. This fire dragon can spit fire, otherwise I could stuff a gag into its mouth."

After sighing, Beichen jumped off the dragon's belly, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the side of Lelai and Gato who were still in a daze.

At this time, Lelai was a little dusty, probably because of the bumpy escape process.

The originally neat blue sage robe also had many gray and black marks from smoke.

Although he was in a daze, he still had no expression.

The messy sky blue bob, coupled with the delicate facial features, gave people a silly feeling, which made Beichen have the urge to pinch the other person's face.

"Are you Master Gato?"

Turning his head, Beichen looked at Gato, who was also dusty, and asked.

Because Beichen and others had learned the common language of this world before entering the other world, they did not need external help to communicate.

Beichen's inquiry awakened the two from their dementia.

"It was this person... who saved me..." Looking at Beichen's handsome face, Lelai's eyes sparkled, and she thought silently in her heart.

After waking up, Cato adjusted his magic hat that was tilted to one side, suppressed his surprise, and responded:

"Thank you for your help, young strong man. I am Cato, do you know me?"

"I guess so. I heard that you have a lot of books, so I want to find you to see if you can give me the books, or let me copy them."

After listening to Beichen's words, Cato narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"You should know that knowledge is a precious wealth. You are not my apprentice, and I have no reason to lend them to you to copy, let alone give them to you."

"That's the theory." Beichen nodded. Cato's refusal was normal, and he was not angry.

And Cato did not say anything final, and it was obvious that there was room for reversal.

"So you want to take me as your apprentice?" Beichen asked.

Cato shook his head.

"Just kidding, I know my own limitations and can't teach you anything."

"What do you mean?"

Cato didn't answer immediately, but changed the subject and asked Beichen.

"Young man, are you from the other side of the gate?"

"No, I'm from the other side of the sea."

"Hmm?"

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted for a moment." With a wry smile, Beichen put away his joking heart and nodded, "Yes, if you mean the gate to the other world."

"Oh, I know that in this world, except for a limited number of priests, there can't be super-powerful people like you." Cato smiled proudly.

"Aren't there also the academic city of Rendil and the Holy Eldant Empire?"

"If they really had such abilities, the Flame Dragon would have been destroyed long ago."

"That's true."

Beichen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"So, what do you want? Go to the world behind the door."

"No." Gato shook his head, "When I get old, it's hard to leave my hometown. Since you have solved the Flame Dragon, I'd better go back to Gota Village."

As he said that, Gato looked at Lelai who was staring at Beichen.

Feeling Gato's gaze, Lelai asked in confusion:

"Master, what's wrong?"

Without answering Lelai, Gato's eyes dimmed and he looked at Beichen again.

"Lelai is a genius. My ability is limited and I can no longer guide her."

"I hope you can take her out and get in touch with a wider world."

"I know that your world not only has magicians, but also all kinds of strange abilities."

"Master..." Hearing that Gato wanted to hand her over to someone else, a trace of nervousness flashed across Lelai's calm face. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Gato's hand.

"Don't rush to express your opinion, Lelai. This is the last thing I can do for you. Haven't you always wanted to become a magician and a great sage? Now is the best opportunity."

"But can't you do the same here with Master?"

"Hehe, how long do you have to wait? Will you be as old as me?"

"No..."

"That's enough."

Seeing that Lelai wanted to continue talking, Gato stood on tiptoe and patted the girl's head, comforting her:

"There's nothing to be sad about. When you come back after completing your studies, come and see me again."

"Hehehe, I hope you'll have a curvy figure like your sister by then... Oh, magic is a sacred thing, not for you to abuse."

Speaking of excitement, Gato's face flushed, twisting his body and constantly gesturing. But he didn't have much time to be happy, and a series of weak icicles hit his face.

"Master, have you calmed down?"

"Calm down, calm down. Oh~ You're really a girl who can't take a joke."

The magic attack stopped, and the old man Gato breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his messy wizard robe, and when he looked at Beichen again, he had returned to his original serious appearance.

"Ahem, sorry to embarrass you."

"It's okay, you guys continue." Beichen waved his hand, not caring about the interaction between the two.

"Hehe, no, let's settle the matter quickly so that I can feel at ease."

"How about it, I can give you all the books, but you have to promise me to take Lelai out and guide her in her practice."

"It's okay to take her out." Beichen nodded.

Although Kato's request was a little beyond Beichen's expectations, it was not a difficult thing to do, just take someone out.

It's just that Beichen felt it was inappropriate to be Lelai's teacher.

Because Lelai is a more traditional long-range magician, Beichen's combat system is not suitable for her.

Moreover, he has no intention of accepting apprentices.

If he had this intention, he should have done the guidance of Qiong and Sagiri instead of entrusting it to Kato and others.

After thinking for a while, Beichen spoke again: "There is one thing I want to make clear in advance. I am not suitable to be her teacher. At most, I can occasionally guide her."

"Then..."

"Don't worry, I have a friend who is more suitable to be Lelai's teacher than me."

Beichen refused to be Lelai's teacher, which made Cato a little disappointed, but he became happy again after hearing the following words.

Although it is not Beichen himself, the friend of the strong will certainly not be bad.

"Then can you tell me about that person's situation? I have a bottom line in my heart." Cato asked.

Hearing this, Beichen stroked his chin and said in a somewhat strange tone:

"A great magician who has lived for more than a thousand years, and an elf 'big' sister."

When talking about 'big', Beichen deliberately emphasized the tone.
