The Forgotten Creator's
Time Stopping Clock ...?

Hien guided the path in the forest towards someone he meant. We stopped after we were at the door.

"Wait a minute." Hien Vocabulary. Then he opened the door by pushing it but it seemed to be locked. He violently broke through the door, then kicked it to pieces. "All right, let's go in."

After Hien passed through the gate of his door, suddenly something floated towards him and hit his head until he fell.

"I told you a few times! Don't break the door!" yelled someone behind the wall.

Before we still hadn't gone through the door so didn't know who was talking.

Virie walked in casually. He politely said, "Excuse me, Miss Rain. Previously apologized for the damage caused by him, we did not intend to come here to damage your property. But we came to ask for your help."

"It doesn't have to be formal" said the alleged Rain. "I know you'll ask me for help every time you come to me. So, what's the request?"

"Actually, not long ago we got bad news for this world including our village. The danger is slowly threatening us. Someone who claims to be the leader of the lower realms is deploying his army to attack us." Obviously Virie.

"So, do I have to participate in the war?" reply Rain.

"It's not. Actually I'd like to ask you to be a teacher ...."

"—no, no, no! Anything other than that kind of job." Cut Rain. "I hate what he calls teaching."

"Please, Miss Rain! You're the only one I can ask for help."

Then Hien looks up from his sleep, then forward. I don't know what he did but it made Rain speak again.

"Y–ya already then. But first, fix the broken door!" said Rain.

After hearing his words just now, I took the initiative to make a similar door made of teak wood with the aim of making it more sturdy. I went inside the gate to show her.

"So you've already prepared this plan?" said Rain with a cynical face.

After seeing it in person, it appeared that he looked very young. Not that it means I'm interested in her, but ... "Is he a lost child? It's not that you don't like taking care of kids, do you, Virie?" my spoken.

But then something hit my head. "It's rude! Who did you say was a lost child!?" snapped the short Rain. "You need to know, I am one of the best graduates in Zharan— where the elite gather to be the best."

"Best but at the very end." Hien.

"Whisper!" Rain threw the same thing a second time towards Hien. And now he's not wearing any footwear at all. "Daughter! Let me just take this kid to my place. I can't stand teaching him a lesson." He pointed at Hien, "And you broke the door, so you're the one who has to fix the door."

Then I handed the door to Hien.

"Follow me." Rain Say.

I followed him with Artex. But he was intercepted first by Hien.

"Where are you going? The one who taught you this time is me." Hien Vocabulary.

...~Π~...

I was invited to a park that looks like a children's garden in general—a swing, seesaw, slide, park chair, and also rock climbing.

"Wait here" said Rain, then entered the house.

I stood in front of the shower and washed my hands, because that's what I always do when I see the tap while I'm waiting. After I finished with my hand, then Rain appeared.

He came up to me and put a stopper in his sewer hole. When the water is full, "Put your head in!"

"For what?" my many.

"Hurry up, just enter! This includes one of my exercises."

I said it, and then I put my head in a puddle. But after that my head was held back by Rain which made me panic and hurriedly raise my head. But it didn't work. After trying his hardest finally released his grip as well.

"What does that mean!?" I said with breath.

"It also included part of his training. Now put your head back in the water." Without hesitation he pushed my head again.

....

After several tens of minutes my head was sunk and pulled, I finally spoke. "Wait around! Let me rest first."

"No word of rest! You're gonna keep doing this until you can hold your breath for five minutes."

"Five minutes!? What should I be able to hold my breath for?"

"Okay, I don't know either. I was trained by someone to hold my breath for five minutes. And I'm not sure if it'll be useful or not." Clearly Rain.

"Then why did you tell me to be like that?"

"Ka–then we go on to the next exercise."

...~Π~...

"By the way, what should I teach you? I haven't been told anything by the Princess before." Said Rain.

"Well, he said I had to learn about defense to balance." My reply.

"Why then ask me!?" he threw his shoes on the ground. "Isn't something like this better left to the Hien?"

"So did he give me to you."

"Siala—" before about to throw the other shoe, his hand stopped. "Wait, or maybe he intends to pass it on to you?"

"Bequeath what?"

"Follow me!" he walked without his shoes to a house. Inside he was looking for something and then he found an ancient watch and then gave it to me, "Take this!"

Without asking anything I took it straight away and opened the lid and stared at his unmoving needle. My curious soul instantly thrashed and there was a desire to copy his watch. But it didn't work, the player was too hard that I couldn't deliver.

"Hey!" Rain took his watch. "Don't use the stuff carelessly!" snapped it. "This is a legendary artifact that you can't get by buying."

"Why indeed?" then I made the exact same watch and showed it to him. "I can make it easy."

"What is that?"

"So this is why you were handed over to me. You're a Magic Builder, right?"

Magic Builders? Whatdoes thatmean? Maybe it's better to get hope from him. "Well, like that."

"Then you come to the right person!" he folded his hands with a bragging expression. "I used to be called Master Build Caster. A successful person made hundreds of golem warriors in an instant."

"How do you do it?"

"Later to show you, now we go to Hien's place first."

...~π~...

In front of the Hien house we saw Hien with Artex who was practicing lifting the barbell.

"What are you guys doing?" Rain Say.

"As before, we're increasing stamina." Reply Hien.

"Isn't it better to do sports faster if you want to increase stamina? Lifting weights I think focuses too much on the strength of the hand muscles."

"Oh, is that it?" ask Hien.

"Yes, it looks like." My answer.

"So which one is right!?"

Then Rain cut, "From that, look at this. Do you remember this thing that the old teacher gave you?"

"Oh! It's on you!" said Hien spirit. "I thought I lost it. Good then. So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Do you know why he gave it to us?" said Rain.

"of course. That's why the teacher passed on his abilities to us and we're currently passing them on."

"Then how do I use it?"

"Easy, you don't have to do anything and—"

On the sidelines of their conversation, I approached Artex who was still training with his barbell. "How many times have you lifted it?" my many.

But Artex did not answer. Then I squatted down to count it. On the count of four Artex showed a strange phenomenon. Before I saw him standing, but now he is in a squatting position.

I immediately approached Artex to ask him to stop for a moment. "Wait a minute, stop for a second. I just didn't see you lose your body. Did you do anything?"

Artex put down his barbell and said, "What do you mean?" he said while raving.

"I mean, you're probably moving so fast that I can't see it."

"Let's know, I just lifted this thing normally. You know I can't do magic like you."

"Right, I'm trying to ask them this."

"Hows it? Did you get to half a minute?" said Hien.

"Hien, did you just realize something?" my word.

"Aware what?" his reply.

"As if someone is moving so fast?"

"Oh, that. I was just about to discuss this with you guys."

"What discuss?"

"Borrow the artifact for a moment." Hien reached out to Rain and received his watch. "This is something left behind by our teacher that can make us move in a vacuum."

"meaning?" my word.

"In short, we can move faster when using this thing."

Hearing this, I thought of something that we had just found before coming here. But Artex can do it even though he has not seen his watch. "But just now Artex did it without holding his watch."

"Yes, that's a special ability passed down by our teacher. Then I passed that ability on to him so that he could do it without using his artifact. For the artifact user to only be able to do so when he used his abilities. In short, the user can only hitchhike."

"In that case, if he had just done so why couldn't I hold his artifact?" said Rain

"There's one way to get a ride on his abilities."

"How's it?" ask Rain.

"You must hold your breath before he uses his abilities."

"What connection?"

"When you activate its power, all movement will stop. Including the air that will enter your lungs. When you breathe, then you'll move normally again."

"Oh, so that's why I was taught to hold my breath."

"But isn't that more about stopping time?" my word.

"No. This is different from stopping time. In the past, our teacher had done experiments accidentally. He held his breath for ten minutes and found that the height of the bonfire ignited by him was becoming increasingly lower."

"Wait on! Ten minutes? Long time ago, how did he do it?"

"Ah, that .. I don't want to say it because this will ruin his image."

Rain suddenly shrank. "Not to worry, Master will surely understand him. So how did he do it?" Rain looks enthusiastic about this.

"Well, fine then. It is also for your knowledge. So he could do it because .. forgot how to breathe."
