Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
36: A LITTLE ABOUT LUZIN

A LITTLE ABOUT LUZIN

Ignis told Indra everything he knew about Tessa. Indra's curiosity is gone. Indra initially thought he understood Avalance's suffering. However, after hearing the pain passed by Avalance now made him feel that the suffering he had been through was meaningless for Avalance.

"As you promised, Indra. Take me to see the letters" Ignis said.

"Just take a break, you can't even walk. I'll take you after your situation is better" Indra replied.

The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

"You've asked a lot and I've answered almost everything. Now it's my turn to ask" Ignis said.

"Please" Indra replied.

"You're not the same boy you were 7 years ago. What's happened to you since then?" Ask Ignis.

"Oh, I just happened to survive. However, someone came to the village. The man claimed to be the Moon God. That person then became my teacher, he taught me many things in just 4 months" replied Indra.

"Lunar God? Interesting.. Tell me more of your journey over the past 7 years" Ignis replied.

Indra then recounted his meeting with Luzin 7 years ago.

7 Years ago, after Luzin and Indra buried all the victims from that village. Luzin brought Indra and taught him many things about the world and the whole universe. 

"Follow me" Luzin said after helping Indra bury the victims.

"Where?" Ask Indra.

"The journey that will make the strongest version of you even from the whole universe" Luzin replied walking away followed by Indra from behind.

Indra comes from the Western Region which is notoriously arid. However, when he follows Avalance without realizing it he is already in a forest that is foreign to him. No matter where he went, he would just go back to Luzin's place. The forest was vast and endless-looking, the place also had a mountain, and a river that also had no end. The place also has many food sources such as fish in the river, animals in the forest, and fruits from the forest.

Luzin was a very wise and insightful person, he knew everything as if he was the one who witnessed it all being created.

Indra guided by Luzin for 2 years, insight from Luzin made Indra become someone who is also full of insight to date. Although Indra has a fairly broad insight. However, Luzin did not give much insight into magic. Therefore, Indra has not known about the magic of branching.

Luzin taught Indra many things, including magic. The practice of Indra magic was all arranged by Luzin. The most strenuous exercise for Indra while practicing magic is to practice focusing magic, Luzin asks Indra to make a lightning pass through the pinhole without destroying the needle.

Physical exercise is also not less heavy. Running with stones, back and forth up the mountain, learning to avoid throwing stones, climbing the mountain, push ups, sit ups, holding your breath under water, holding the stone from the water, swimming with weights on your feet, and walking, withstand blows, and 10 other exercises that are also not less heavy.

Luzin almost never said much else other than the training while with Indra. He simply fed Indra and again told her to practice. However, it is strange that Indra cannot refuse anything when with that person.

After 2 years of study with Luzin, the day of his farewell with Luzin has arrived. Luzin brought Indra to the fields of clover leaves. That day Luzin was very different, he spoke more to Indra.

"There are things I have to say before I leave, Indra" Luzin said in the clover field.

"What's that?" Ask Indra.

Luzin approaches a clover leaf that looks different from the others. If the clover leaves in general only have three leaves, then this one different leaves this one has four leaves.

"Good friends are like these four-leaf clover leaves, you're lucky to get them. However, it is difficult to get it. If one day you find a four-leaf clover, take good care of it" Luzin said.

"You're really going?" Ask Indra again.

Luzin nodded.

"Before I leave, I'll give you a gift. This is not a thing. However, requests. One day, if you find it difficult at any moment. Look at the moon and say my name, after that the moon will shine. When the moon shines mention your request, whatever it is will surely come true" Luzin said.

"That sounds impossible. However, thanks. Maybe I won't try" Indra replied.

"That's your freedom" said Luzin who suddenly disappeared along with a gust of wind.

When Luzin's departure, Indra suddenly returned to the Western Region whose land was barren, he was right in his village where only the rubble was left.

Luzin is a mysterious figure, he came to teach Indra many things. However, it is not known what the purpose is. Whenever Indra asked about it, Luzin simply replied that the stars in the sky called out to him. Answers that never satisfy Indra.

After Indra returned from the strange forest after 2 years, Indra did not know where he was going. He became a man who lived alone for several months. However, that all changed when he discovered the Angel Eyes Saloon. At Angel Eyes Saloon, Indra meets Bella, Reisth, Misha, and Miller. Bella and Reisth are like parents to Indra. Misha and Miller were like brothers to Indra.

After 2 years with Luzin, Indra spent 3 years at Angel Eyes Saloon until he decided to become a Bounty Hunter. 2 years after becoming Bounty Hunter, Indra finally known as "Lightning From The Wild West" no one had ever seen his face in person other than a few residents of the Western Region.

Indra is also known as Bounty Hunter number 1 in all corners of Compax.

It was a summary of the events Indra told her father.

"That's an interesting story. However, I would only believe it if you could match your two younger siblings" Ignis said.

"Ignael and Iglea, right? You'll hear bad news when you see them again. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hurt them at least not badly. However, you're not going to let your two children take revenge with their own brother, are you, father? Don't let them be bad boys" Indra replied.

Ignis was surprised to hear that. He thought that Ken who was weak enough to make him tired, plus he saw Indra being beaten all out by a Necromancer. He had never expected Indra to be that strong enough to defeat Ignael and Iglea who were arguably part of the strongest army of the Southern Region.

"Why surprised, dad? You think Ken's stronger than me? I admit I lost in terms of speed and only speed" Indra said.
