By the time the party had arrived back at the town. It was already late into the evening and the gates were already scheduled to close for the day.Cecil and the rest hurried on into to the city and quickly headed towards the plaza. On the way, they could also see other parties heading towards the same direction.
There were so many that if it wasn"t for the sky being dark, Cecil would have thought that it was still in the middle of the day during rush hour when the townspeople were hawking their wears or were working in the taverns, restaurants, and shops.
When Cecil and co. arrive at the plaza, the entire place was packed with people. The races were diverse, but a majority of them were Lizard-kin after Cecil took a glance around. There were others like him and Lucia who were from the fox race. He also saw dwarves, elves, cat-kin and dog-kin.
"Wow.... this has got to be the coolest thing I"ve ever seen in my life!"
Cecil"s eyes were sparkling as he looked around like the kid he was. He was so fascinated that the bull s.h.i.t his father and grandfather had fed him as a child was actually now true and being displayed right before his eyes.
The atmosphere was boisterous and everyone was talking creating a ruckus. Parties were comparing with each other on how much they had. There were also many parties like Cecil"s who were carrying monster materials with them.
Cecil"s party stood out since they had a wagon with a whole bunch of monster materials in it being pulled by Silver.
Right as they entered the plaza many of the adventurer parties directed a glance towards them. Many of them were bewildered at the sheer amount of materials that the party had.
The wagon was practically overloaded with materials that it had formed a small hill. During the latter half of the day, Cecil had partic.i.p.ated in the party"s hunt. So he went on a killing spree while experimenting with "Mana Cutter" and "Mana Blade".
The result was the mountain of materials on the wagon.
Actually, the wagon was only a small upgraded version of what was originally a cart. The party had created a cart at first, but then Cecil upgraded the cart to a wagon because of the sheer amount of materials he harvested after his experiments.
Cecil"s party attracted a lot of attention, but most people didn"t put their attention to the party members. Instead they had their attention directed towards Silver who was pulling the wagon.
A 4 meter tall and 5 meter long wolf would of course attract attention. But some of the adventurers seemed to come to some sort of realization after seeing Silver. The other adventurers seemed to have made the conclusion that the party of teenagers was only able to have such a bountiful hunt because of Silver.
With this conclusion, they stopped paying attention the Cecil"s party while some even scoffed and directed a disdainful gaze towards them. Especially since they saw the small, black, 3 tailed fox that was acting like some curious child leading the party.
Cecil was preoccupied with the sight before him so he didn"t register any of the other adventurers" change in att.i.tude. This wasn"t the same with Lucia and Scarlet Blaze though.
Milly, seeing the change in atmosphere around them and the scornful gazes that were being directed towards them immediately scoffed.
"Heh, they think all of this was because of Silver."
"With Cel, acting like that... it"s not really a surprise though." Lucia responded.
"Hmph, that curious child upfront is the exact reason why we"re in this situation in the first place. Not like they"d understand anyways. Anyway, why is Cecil like this though? It"s like his first time seeing such a gathering."
"Well... it actually is though. He"s been living in the forest away from our village with his parents. So he was only exposed to society around a month ago."
"WHAT?! Seriously!" shouted Tyr.
Everyone was surprised hearing this, but Tyr as usual, couldn"t refrain himself from shouting.
"Hmmm... that explains why he"s a bit introverted. He talks a lot with you though Lucia."
"Hehe, that"s because I"m his only childhood friend."
Lucia lied but she wasn"t entirely wrong. Other than her, there were only two other people, a boy and a girl, who Cecil actually played with during his free time back on Earth. It was only once so Cecil had already forgotten about them, since he had to go back to his arduous training soon after.
Anyway, Lucia being Cecil"s only childhood friend was the back story of their relationship that Cecil spun up. He couldn"t go around announcing that he was an otherworlder now could he?
So Cecil was Lucia"s childhood friend and his parents had pa.s.sed away 4 months ago in an accident. Cecil began living with Lucia"s family in Fauxe Village only 3 months ago.
Lucia"s parents found that Cecil had a high affinity with mana and he would be able to become a spell caster if he was taught the knowledge.

So Lucia and Cecil were now on their journey towards Angla City, the capital of Anglaria Kingdom to enroll in Arks Royal Academy, which was the number one Magic Academy in Anglaria Kingdom.
"I see, so because Cecil was living deep in the forest with his parents... that explains why he"s so adept at magical combat." Miles said.
"S-so Cecil"s an orphan? ... h-he lived i-in such a d-dangerous place too..." Cathy said sadly.
"No worries Cathy! Cecil"s already over it. He wants to live happily now for the sake of his parents! So don"t feel sad on his account, it"d only ruin his mood and remind him of bad memories!"
"Y-yeah... g-good luck Cecil!" Cathy responded to Lucia.
Hearing his name, Cecil turned around and asked.
"What"s that? Someone call me?"
"Eh?! N-no! J-just... b-be happy Cecil!" Cathy stuttered.
"Uhm... okay? Haha! Anyway, this place is great! Shouldn"t we hurry and submit the rest of our proofs now? The booth is just up ahead, let me go. The clerk lady already recognizes me from my previous returns!" Cecil said cheerily.
Hearing the word "lady" come from Cecil"s mouth, Lucia"s smile froze and cracked a bit.
"Ha...hahaha... I"ll go with you, Cel..." Lucia said darkly.
"Okay!"
"Remember... just shut up and let me do the talking..."
Seeing Lucia"s abrupt change from a warm smile to a cold deadpanned face, it was Cecil"s turn to stutter in response.
"O-okay..."
He put on a clueless face, wondering why Lucia suddenly looked at him like that. He shrugged and started looking back at the crowd of adventurers again.
Milly and the rest could only smile wryly at the two. Unlike Cecil, the rest of them new exactly what was up.
Lucia"s atmosphere would always change whenever some unknown female got close to or was mentioned by Cecil.
Lucia took the proofs of subjugation from Milly and started dragging Cecil by the hand. Cecil of course was still clueless at the change in Lucia"s mood.
Back to his curious fox mode, Cecil was constantly glancing at the adventurers around him while exclaiming words of fascination and awe in English.
Others might not understand a single word he was saying, but Lucia after spending a month learning, had already grasped quite a lot about Cecil"s home language.
"This idiot..." Lucia could only sigh. "Whatever let"s just hurry and turn this in."
They were pushing their way forward into the crowd. They were moving really slow and with Lucia"s small frame, she was constantly being pushed around by the people in front of them. She was starting to get annoyed.
While they were making their way forwards Lucia was abruptly knocked back by a group of adventurers who were ahead of them. The group was horsing around, but all they did when they saw the two was scoff at them, not bothering to apologize.
If it wasn"t for Cecil quickly catching her from behind, she would have fallen hard on the ground.
Lucia was infuriated. Right when she was about to raise her voice and shout at the people in front of her, Cecil had already stepped forward and stretched his arm towards the person who knocked her back.
Lucia was alarmed and took a glance at Cecil. She saw that his usually smiling face was covered by a mask of cold indifference.
