Chapter Summaries

After recovering from his six-month injury, Eleven took a job clearing monsters from Rakao Village, where he mistook the chief’s grandson for a mole and pinned him to the ground. He learned that Warren Rakao was a mage and prepared to work with him.

• Eleven arrived at Rakao Village and met its chief, Wolv Rakao, whose village had been buried in mud by mole monsters.
• After seeing a mole emerge from the swamp, Eleven mistook Warren Rakao for a monster and slammed him face-first into the dirt with telekinesis.
• Wolv Rakao struck Eleven with his cane until he released Warren, and Warren introduced himself and offered to help clear the village of moles.

Eleven learned that Warren’s magic allowed him to communicate telepathically and reluctantly agreed to bring him along to hunt the mole monsters. At the swamp, Eleven secretly guided Warren’s weak Spiritual Power toward a sleeping mole monster.

• At the swamp, Warren searched for a mole monster with his Spiritual Power, and Eleven quietly guided it toward a sleeping target.

Eleven discovered that the giant moles in Rakao Village could communicate telepathically and learned they were staying because they were pursuing a goddess. After Warren befriended one through their shared interest in romance, Eleven knocked the moles unconscious and tested the limits of his Telekinesis.

• Warren connected with a mole telepathically and asked it to leave Rakao Village, but it refused because the goddess was there.

• Eleven pulled two more moles from the swamp and knocked them unconscious, then lifted three others and concluded his Telekinesis could handle a maximum load of six tons.

• Eleven carried the small mole toward the great swamp, and the giant moles charged after her.

• Eleven found the method awkward, then successfully tried activating his Spiritual Power directly along the same path.
