Otherworld Adventure

Chapter 264

"Angie! Wait up!"

Angelia had a sour face on, but she inwardly felt relieved that her sister had chased after her.

"Look Angie, I"m still not giving up on finding Cecil. Don"t worry about that okay?"

"I know...sorry, I guess I just don"t want to lose you..."

"Oh, Angie... I"m not going anywhere, eventually when Rowan gets the approval of everyone in the family, he"ll be the one marrying into our family. He"s the 3rd prince of Regulus so he"s only 3rd in line for the throne."

"Okay...but why him? Why didn"t you pick someone else? We have a lot of disciples in our family dojo that are way~ stronger than him!"

"Eh? Well...hmmm... I wonder why... I"m not sure, but somewhere down the road, I fell in love with him," Fatima said as she thought deeply about her sister"s question.

"Gosh, why him though? Well, whatever. Just make sure you get everyone"s approval first! That includes big brother Cel"s!"

"Okay, c"mere let me hug you for a bit," Fatima said as she pulled her adorable little sister into a tight embrace.

"S-sis, you"re b.r.e.a.s.t.s are crushing me! I can"t breathe!"

"Ufufufufu~ hold your breath a little longer~"

"NOOOOO!!!"

******

After separating from her sister, Angelia continued on with her cla.s.ses and eventually it came the time for their school"s excursion. The students who were given permission to dive into the dungeon would form parties of 6 and spend 2 hours inside the dungeon.

"Are you guys ready?"

"We"re good all good here, what about you two?" Robin replied before he asked the other two people who were allocated to their party.

"We"re fine, thanks for letting us into your party."

"No probs, our princess here didn"t mind so why would we?"

Angelia grew annoyed at hearing him tease her with the t.i.tle "princess" again. She brandished her spear and directed the tip just below her friend"s neck.

"Say that again, Robby~?"

"Haha, I"m just teasing you, Princess~" Robin immediately backed away and hid behind Xin and Marylyn.

"As the Princess of Silvaria, I command you to stop right there and let me poke a few holes in you!" Angelia demanded.

"With all due respect, Princess~, I decline!"

"Graaaahhhh!!! Stay put!"

The instructors began filing into the large gymnasium not long after and so the two kids had to put an end to their cat and mouse chase and quickly file in line.

Once the head instructor saw that the students had all lined up perfectly, he finally opened his mouth.

"Students, today, all of you will be going out on the school"s compulsory excursion! Some of you are going to the forests outside of the valley, while a select few of you...will be heading into the dungeon!"

The instructor looked around and saw how serious all the children were. They were all instilled with the importance of this event since it was like their initiation to becoming true warriors. Ever since the people were transferred into this unknown place, they were constantly besieged and hara.s.sed by monsters you would normally see from novels and movies.


Many lost their friends and families, but this had helped the children mature much faster than normal. The usual complacency one would see from a child on modern Earth wasn"t there anymore. For the past couple of years since the school"s establishment, these kids have undergone training by the Silvaria family"s martial instructors and were well tested in simulation combat.

Now they would have to experience what it was like to actually fight those monsters. For the ones that have lost family members and friends, they were eager to have a go at these monsters.

"Finally, we"re out to kill those things...I"ll rip those things apart..."

"...quiet man, the instructor is still talking..."

"My hands are itching..."

"Ah, please, not you too..."

The head instructor immediately silenced the noisy students with a loud stomp of his foot.

"Since you"ve all split into your groups, the ones going to the forest gather around and file in line outside of the gymnasium! As for those going to the dungeon, remain where you are!"

The head instructor and a few others exited the gymnasium along with the students that were going to the forest for their excursion. What remained were only 5 groups of students with each group consisting of 6 students totally to 30 students in all.

There were exactly 5 instructors remaining inside the gymnasium and one of them happened to be Fatima. When she was not in front of her family, she put on a cold and aloof front. She walked over to Angelia"s party and immediately addressed.

"Are all of you ready?"

"YES!" The group responded in unison.

Fatima nodded and said, "Then, follow me... remember to keep your wits about you later in the dungeon!"

"YES MA"AM!"

Fatima led Angelia"s party to the dungeon"s entrance. It was a 15 minute ride on a wagon. During this time, Fatima asked if everyone had already decided on their roles and yes, they had already done so.

Angelia was the leader and she was going to act as the mobile unit in the party, she would support the rear and the vanguard depending on the situation while at the same time monitor the battle situation while relaying orders and warnings to her party.

Her friends, Xin and Marylyn, would be the archer and mage respectively. Their party was actually pretty lucky since one of them was a "mage". The spells she could use was limited to only being mana bolts and some variations, but she was one of the few individuals in the school who had a good grasp on how to manipulate their mana and control it so it"ll manifest outside their bodies.

One of the 2 boys that were added to their party would act as a scout while the other one would be the tank alongside Robin. That"s right, Robin was going to play a tanking role despite how delicate he looked, the boy seemed more like a back liner rather than a front liner.

Fatima nodded in appreciation. She was glad that her sister"s party was very competent. She wanted to be the chaperone of their party precisely because she was worried about her little sis, but that seemed to be an unfounded concern.

All that"s left was to see whether or not their party was competent in a live-battle situation. If needed, Fatima and the other instructors would step in to protect the students in the case that the situation got out of hand and couldn"t be handled by the students.

"Instructor, we can use everything that"s our power...right?" Angelia asked her sister when they arrived at the dungeon.

"Yes, of course. Holding anything back will not be tolerated. Please remember, that in the dungeon, a small mishap or oversight might result in someone"s life being lost!" Fatima said seriously.

The students nodded solemnly at her words. Even though this was but an excursion and they had their instructors there to protect them, everyone"s lives were still at stake here. A simple mishap might result in one of their party members losing their lives.

Angelia nodded before she began smiling smugly.

"Mao, Chi, we"re going."

Mao, who was still in his battle form, replied with an excited howl while the small bird on her shoulder began to glow and a large, 1.5 meter tall bird replaced it. It wasn"t her full battle form, but this size was ideal since they would be fighting in a dungeon.

"CHIIIIII!!!"

"GRAAAAHHH!!"

The two monsters" battle cries startled everyone near the dungeon entrance. Seeing the two monsters, Fatima belatedly realized what her little sister meant by "using everything in their power", she should have known better.

"Angelia...isn"t that a bit..."

"Well, it"s not cheating Instructor! These two are my companions!"

"Y-yeah...but..."

"Don"t worry~ they"ll only be helping out! They won"t be actively partic.i.p.ating in the fights! After all, the whole point of this excursion is to let everyone experience how a real battle is like!"

"It"s good that you know," Fatima replied. She raised her hand to the people around to show that the two monsters summoned by her sister didn"t mean any harm.

Not many people knew about Angelia"s other t.i.tle as the Silvaria Kingdom"s "Monster Princess". These 2 "friends" of hers weren"t the only ones she "befriended" during the past couple years.

"Alright, let"s head in."

******

While the students of Silvaria Kingdom"s school began their excursions to get their first live-combat experience, at the border checkpoint of the Regulus Kingdom, a unique looking metal wagon pa.s.sed through.

A handsome young man was currently manning the driver seat with a beautiful white haired young woman sitting next to him. The entire time they were pa.s.sing through the checkpoint, many heads would turn to gawk at the beautiful lady.

These two were naturally Cecil and Lucia. After four years, they had fully matured into 2 respectable young adults.

Cecil had decided to grow his hair out, so it was a little long and messy. Added with his well sculpted face and his sharp gaze, it made him all the more attractive, especially towards the two women who were travelling with him.

Lucia who was next to him had fully grown in many places. Hidden under her armor and clothes was a body that evoked the wild desires of men. She had grown into a woman that was very much like her mother, Anna, who was very well endowed.

Her hair had grown longer, reaching all the way to her knees and she tied it up with two ribbons that Cecil had gifted to her on the party"s first ever Christmas celebration a couple of years back. Cecil had managed to create shampoo and soap, so Lucia"s hair was carefully taken care of. Just using Cleanse wasn"t enough to make her hair look so healthy and smooth.

However, Cecil would sometimes worry that her long hair might get in the way of her fighting so he wanted to cut it, but Lucia treated it so preciously to the point where she declared that she wouldn"t cut it, ever.

Over the past years, her wild-temper and brash att.i.tude faded and she was much more level-headed.

This was very good news for Cecil since he no longer had to endure her abuse. Well, at least most of the times. It was a different story if Cecil had actually done something wrong to her. In this case, her fists would always be the first to fly, but with Cecil now blocking and dodging her every blow, it would turn into a mock battle instead of an argument by the time they were done squabbling.

"Cel! We"re finally here!"

"Yup..."

"Hm? Why so glum?" Lucia asked.

"Well...now that we"re here... we have to separate...remember?"

"What"s this? Is our Cel upset~? Ufufufufu~"

"...Tsk..."

"What~? Can"t bear to separate from your 2 beautiful wives?" Lucia poked Cecil"s face as she continued to tease him.

"Yeah, so what? Got a problem?"

"Hmhmhm~ well this was YOUR plan. We"re finally here so we should hurry up and search for your family. Just leave things here in Regulus to me and Seri, while you go to the Holy Kingdom."

Cecil replied with a sigh, "Fine, I"ll make it quick."

"Yeah, but make sure you make it thorough!"

"Mhm. Let"s stop by the town for a bit then we"ll split."

Cecil immediately urged Sleipnir to gallop towards Regulus Kingdom"s border town, Rezit.
