3 Shun's Training

Before Shun started to cry, the Dragon growled at him as it stated, "Shut up! I didn't save you so that you could cry in sadness. If you are so sad then remember this feeling, remember that scene, burn it in your heart and take revenge."

Shun heard it's words and held his tears, he didn't let a single one of them flow out. After he was slightly calm, he wondered, "Where am I? What are you? I want to go back to the village. Father, where is father?" In the end, he was only a two years old child so it couldn't be helped.

The Dragon nearly flipped when it heard "What are you?" It was about to reply that his face flashed into realization and jumped back with a shriek, "Y-you, you are a giant Lizard!" The Dragon's expression was full of disbelief, he couldn't even think that the noble itself was actually called a Lizard.

Seeing the disbelief expression on its face, Shun thought that he was right and puffed out his small chest, "I knew it! Mother told me all about you. I am not scared of you, just an overgrown blue lizard."

Suddenly, the Dragon had an urge to destroy something but it knew that it couldn't afford to waste it's power and remained calm as it spoke, "Enough of the jokes. I am what you humans call a Dragon. Right now, you are in a forest. And no, you cannot go back to your Village. It is already destroyed."

Shun stayed silent for some minutes as he tried to comprehend all that in his little head, the Dragon asked one last thing, "Your Name is…" Shun heard it's words and lightly smiled as he stated, "Shun… My name is Shun!"

The Dragon grinned as he listened to his name and declared, "You shall be my child from now on. I shall make you the fiercest Dragon Slayer in the history!!" It's words resounded far and wide and some birds flew up as they heard the prideful voice of the Dragon…

Shun heard it's words and felt his blood rush, he felt a mysterious excitement within his body. He nodded his little head as the Dragon smiled in his direction, a mighty voice reached the ears of Shun, "My name is Zagnivol, the Azure Dragon!"

"Let this Flame enter your body, do not resist it otherwise it would consume you!" Shun didn't understand the reason but he relaxed his body and let the beautiful Azure Flame enter his body. Suddenly, he felt a large amount of strange energy inside his body…

He felt pain, pain at his body being burned from the inside, pain due to his cells being burned by that flame without a care. He felt the urge to resist but the Dragon instructed not to resist. As a child he decided to trust the Giant Blue Lizard...

He released the control from his body and his body fell down without any power in it. Slowly and slowly his whole body turned black as every single cell inside his body was burned off by the Azure Blue Flame.

Zagnivol was astonished that not a single scream was released from the boy's mouth, he was holding back by trying his best. He wondered if he himself could take such an unbearable pain and not make a single sound in response.

The answer was obviously no. He couldn't but he had seen a Miracle happen in front of his eyes. He softly spoke, "Time for you to be reborn my son…!" It released another Azure Blue Flame but this time it was a lighter coloured Blue Flame.

It cleared away the black cells that covered Shun's body and suddenly started to mass produce large amount of Cells that contained Dragon's energy. Shun's body was like it was releasing a new sense of life, his life force also continued to get stronger.

His every single organ had evolved and had become much better than before. Zagnivol looked at his tired expression, and he declared "Rest now!! Because your hell will start from tomorrow…"

Actually, there was another reason, it was because his body had just evolved and it wouldn't be good for him to get used to it. And sleep was the best way for now…

~~~5 Years Later~~

A young boy was sitting on top on top of a cliff with a calm expression on his face, he was thinking about his life since he met up Zagnivol. In these years, he learned one thing, the Dragon was ruthless creature. Everyday his life was anything but peaceful.

When he had turned 7 years old, he was asked by Zagnivol to go and climb the tallest mountain in the area within a 3 hours. The problem for Shun was that, the mountain was too steep, he would step one step forwards and fall two steps backwards.

Sometime, he would also fall down and earn extra injuries along the way, he would also be trained by the Dragon. He could light the Azure Flame very easily but controlling it was quite difficult. The power inside his Azure Flame was also incomparable to the power in Zagnovil's Azure Flame.

Regardless of all that, he could also feel himself growing as a stronger person, he could also feel improvements that motivated him along the way. He could now control the fire as he pleased and could also use all the basic techniques of the Azure Fire Dragon Slayer.

The techniques in which he had some problems were the Secret Arts, they were quite difficult for him as he couldn't release such strong energy required for the Secret Arts. He had complained thousand of times to Zagnivol that he was still a kid but he would always receive a reply, "The magic comes from the feelings, try harder…"

He was half assed in terms of performing them so he was quite happy with his progress. As he glancing down towards that he saw a Black Haired Man moving towards the Zagnivol… He thought 'Does that person have a death wish? Does he not know that this is a dragon?'

He rushed towards the black haired person as he called out to him, "Hey, you… Don't go near it." The Black haired guy turned towards as he was surprised to hear the voice of a human near him, he saw that it was a young boy of 7-8 years old.

He has short Blue haris, neat and tidy and a small and cute face. He raised his hands as he urged him, "Don't come near me…" Shun was confused after hearing his words but he ignored them as he neared the black haired guy.

Suddenly, the Black Haired guy's eyes widened as a Dark Magic was released from his body. He whispered, "No...I don't want to kill him. No!" he exclaimed in a powerful voice but the Magic didn't listen to him and continued to release the Dark Magic from his body.

It was so strong that it destroyed everything on contact, the trees, grass. As soon as that Dark Magic neared Shun, and suddenly a mysterious Azure Aura was released from his body and it clashed with the Dark Aura and dispersed it!

Feeling this Dark Aura and the Azure Aura, Zagnivol opened his eyes, he knew who had come! Meanwhile, the black haired man glanced towards Shun as he asked him, "Who...Who are you?"

His question caused Shun to lightly smile, he answered him, "Shun...My name is Shun. The Azure Dragon Slayer!" HIs words caused the Black haired man to experience some shock, he didn't think that Zagnivol would actually decide to have his own Dragon Slayer.

Shun was also curious about the name of this stranger and asked him with a curious expression, "What is your name mister…?"

The black haired man gave out a small smile as he replied. "Zeref…!"
