Prologue
3rd Person's POV
Two figures walked along the forest as they hunted for monsters as they ensure the safety of the forest they've been at. They've been wearing customized magic-coated cloaks for protection. One by one, they terminated the monsters professionally and skillfully.
Different kinds of magics are being launched towards the monsters, killing them off, they just turned to dusts, leaving off the what they call monster cores.
These monster cores can be sold off depending on size and quality, the rarer the monster, the higher the quality.
The figures continued on searching for monsters when they suddenly heard an audible baby cry out of nowhere.
"What was that?" Said the female figure as they looked around.
"It sounds like it's coming this way, let us go, we must check it out." Replied the male figure as they head out deeper into the forest.
As they move from branches to branches, the cry became louder and louder until they arrived at a small clearing, there are several monsters nearby but it seems that they aren't doing any vile movements.
Until they laid their eyes on a small basket located literally in the middle of the swarm of monsters.
"This is bad, we must get that baby out of there." Said the female figure, her partner nodded and rushed towards the basket, killing off the monsters who spotted them.
As they finished killing off the monsters, what greeted them in the basket is an angel that rejuvenated their feelings as they laid there eyes on her.
"It's literally a baby." The male figure muttered as he savored the moment looking at the baby.
But what made them curious is the barrier that protected the baby.
"Gaia." Called out the male figure.
"Yes, master" A wisp capable of telepathic voice came out of nowhere.
"Can you appraise this barrier? This doesn't look like a normal one." The male figure asked the wisp.
"Absolutely, this is Heaven's Barrier, a high-tier magic used by Gods and Goddesses during the Celestial War, this is a rather rare type of skill that only Gods and legendary mages are capable of doing so."
"She's been blessed by a God, can you appraise the specific blessing, Gaia?" The female figure asked again.
"Definitely, the target was being blessed by the Goddess of Light, Theia, Goddess of Fortune, Fortuna and the Goddess of Magic, Hecate."
"Th-Three blessings?!" They yelled in surprise and shock, they even never encountered an individual having two blessings by the Gods and Goddess.
"In addition, the target possesses high affinity in magic and spell, she may deem capable of handling all elements, guidance is ultimately necessary."
"Sh-She's..." The male figure was in utter shock and disbelief.
"G-Gaia... are you sure about that?"
"Positive, master, I see that the man blessed by two Gods can't reciprocate at what he's seeing."
"Naturally! I haven't encountered someone who was blessed by three gods! Not to mention, Goddess of Light herself blessed this infant?!" He cried out in surprise.
"Master Shiro, I should suggest that you and Master Yumi may give the infant proper guidance, as she grow up, the two of you will teach her magic, because if not executed properly, that may lead her to danger."
"Will do Gaia, this infant's in proper care." The female figure, Yumi, stated in determination.
"Have you ever raised a child before, Yumi?" Shiro asked his partner.
"No, I haven't, I've planned on making one with you, but we found this baby." Yumi bluntly said.
"Wha-" Shiro was speechless at what Yumi just said, he blushed madly and covered his face in embarrassment.
"You're so easy to tease, Shiro." Yumi laughed whole-heartedly, Shiro sulked at that.
With that, they were determined to raise the baby at it's finest and must lead her to positivity.
"For now, let's head back to our place, thank you very much Gaia." Yumi stated, Gaia made weird noise and disappeared, Shiro grabbed the basket containing the infant who's just sleeping peacefully, before going back to their place.
...
Eight years have passed, Yumi and Shiro named her Hiromi, she's been raised healthy and fit, she was being taught basically anything there is to know about magic.
But what really surprised them is the way how Hiromi can quickly follow, at the age of six, Hiromi accidentally casted out a Fireball spell, but it was a larger one compared to the normal Fireball.
With the help of Yumi and Shiro, she was properly nurtered, at the age of eight, she was a prodigy unknown to society. Yumi and Shiro made sure that she's ready until the perfect time will come that she'll embark her own journey.
"Father, mother, look what I found!" A charismatic voice called outside their house, Yumi and Shiro got out and what greeted made them widen their eyes.
"Wah-"
It is a Barbaric Great Bear, a higher leveled monster bear. She used telekinetic magic in order to lift the fainted bear up.
Aside from it's deadly appearance, Barbaric Great Bear's meat are actually delicious, can be made into different types of recipes.
"Kuma-san for dinner!" Hiromi cheerfully yelled as she jumped around the fainted bear.
Yumi and Shiro sweatdropped at their 'child' as they looked at the bear lying on the ground.
"She hunted this all by herself..." Shiro muttered.
"We failed as parents..." Yumi continued.
"In fact, no you don't, this is a good start once she's on her own journey, capable of hunting monsters on her own." Gaia came out of nowhere.
"That is true, though we should be expecting something like this from now on, Shiro." Yumi adviced as she gazed at their 'child' playfully pinching the nose of the fainted bear.
"Y-Yeah, we should."
They dismantled the bear, got it's monster core set aside and proceeded on cooking the bear meat.
As they ate their dinner, Yumi and Shiro continued on teaching Hiromi about magic, they do this almost everyday in order to really improve Hiromi's capabilites.
During the day, Shiro's the one teaching her combat ability and offensive magic while on night, Yumi's tasked to teach her defensive and healing magic, that also includes summoning magic contract magic.
...
At the age of fifteen, Hiromi's now a fine girl, she's actually a beastman, specifically the cat tribe, so she developed that small cat ears. She wore a black and red dress embedded with red diamond gems on her skirt part. She has this long staff wherein a tome containing magic and spells are placed at the tip of the staff. She also had a magic sword placed on a special scabbard containing the the carved name of her parents. The sword resembles that of a katana but it's blade is mostly black in color.
Yes, a maiden weilding both staff and sword.
She found it amusing and is surprisingly easy to handle, she's an embodiment of both her father and her mother, a swordsman and a mage respectively.
The staff can disappear and reappear on her will, and now's the time that she'll embark on her new journey.
"Hiromi, maybe now's the time for you to go out and have your journey." Shiro stated calmly. He's pretty confident that his 'daughter' can already do things all by herself, she was taught by two world-class mages, which they didn't informed her, but soon she'll find out.
Hiromi has mixed positive feelings, the time has come that she'll manage by herself in order to grow more as as a mage.
"I'm going to miss you, father, mother." Hiromi stated as she hugged both her parents. Moments later, they broke the hug and Shiro bursted in tears, both Yumi and Hiromi sweatdropped at him and just patted him consolingly on his shoulder.
"Be a man for your daughter, will you?" Yumi stated as she smacked his head after patting. Shiro defensively held his hands.
"Now, there are things I want you to remember Hiromi." Yumi stated seriously.
"Wh-What is it mother?" Hiromi asked as she gulped.
"First, if you appraise yourself, there's that title about you being blessed by three Gods, I've taught you special appraising magic that is able to hide those titles and generally your stats in order to prevent ruckus." Yumi explained.
She nodded and appraised herself.

Race : [Evolved] Beastman (Wolf Tribe)
Class : [Maximized] Dual Wielder Mage

She sweatdropped as she saw her titles, she saw it already but she can't help but still surprise herself at that thought of having three blessings at once.
Though she didn't know what the question marks are all about, she kept asking her parents and all the reply she recieved was 'you'll just find out soon.'
She casted the special apprasial magic and now it looked like this.

"Now, finally, we're going to give you a departure gift before you go." Yumi stated.
"I thought these are enough..." Hiromi muttered.
"Ah no, for this gift, this is special to us. you must handle it with care." Shiro stated.
Hiromi fell silent for a while, Yumi opened her palm and revealed the familiar wisp they've always seen.
"Gaia?" Hiromi was surprised at that, she knew that it was on their possession and is almost impossible for it to be taken away.
"Yes, from now on, it'll support you throughout your journey, it's general intelligence will help you as you go along your journey." Shiro explained.
"M-Mother, F-Father..." She sobbed and once again hugged her parents, before accepting their departure gift, Gaia was transfered towards Hiromi's possession, through contract magic, everything went well.
"Master Hiromi, confirmed, I'll be on your care from now on." Gaia telepathically said.
"I'll be also on your care, Gaia." Hiromi replied happily at the wisp.
"Now then, how about we'll see you off?" Shiro suggested.
With that, they went to a small clearing as they watched Hiromi summoning a familiar.
"Summon: Nightmare Corvus!"
A large summoning circle appeared and came out the distinguishable large raven bird, it's blood red eyes blended well with it's steel-like body. It is a kind of bird that fits in the raven family, it is the upgraded version of raven.
Yumi and Shiro nodded in satisfaction as they spectated their girl summoning a high class familiar. She mounted the bird and waved to her parents.
"Make sure to register yourself as an adventurer first." Yumi informed.
"Yes, mother."
"Well then, off you go, little one."
With that, Hiromi and her familiar flew towards the clear sky, seeking new adventure.
To be continued...
