Chapter 328
Chapter 328 Strongest Sage, Treated as Symbol of Fear
Grevil replied to the knight commander .
Seeing them . . . Ruli and Alma looked dumbfounded .
" . . . Now that you mention it . . . It didn"t sound like we"re going to fight a strong demon . . . Yet that just came off naturally to me . . . "
"Are you saying we"ve gotten used to these critical situations . . . ?"
"Well, I mean it"s rarer for us to fight enemies that aren"t way over the top instead . . . "
Now that I think about it . . . It"s true .
I feel like we keep getting ourselves involved in extraordinary situations with barely any time to rest ever since I was enrolled to Second Academy .
No, rather than getting involved, it"s more like we"ve been dealing with them a lot . . . But this frequency is not normal .
"When you put it that way, there"s some truth in it . . . "
The past me often got dragged into these similar situations .
Before I realized, what was abnormal became normal to me to the point that I couldn"t distinguish what was ordinary and what was not anymore .
That doesn"t apply to me now since I have acquired common sense though .
However . . . Ruli and Alma were ordinary students originally .
I might have dragged them into this stuff way too many times regardless if they"re party members .
Though it"s probably not a big problem to Alma who had always wanted to earn money as an adventurer . . .
"Now I"m feeling bad for dragging into this stuff even though you wanted to get into a production role . . . "
Ruli is a production type mage who loves to create things .
Tempering her mana through battle in order to better her production type skills is an effective way to go about it . . . but I feel kinda bad when it"s so excessive like this .
I do teach her production type magic since she"s got the talent for it . . . But she"s also been partic.i.p.ating in all my fight somehow .
While I was thinking that . . . Ruli spoke out .
"Sure, there were a lot of combats . . . But, I"m glad I could get in your party Mathi-kun, you know?"
" . . . You are?"
"I"d rather fight together than just watching you fight from the side line, Mathi-kun! . . . And most importantly, I can be together with Mathi-kun when I"m in your party . . . "
I see .
Indeed, in order to study production type magic, close to me would be the optimum location .
The past me was a bearer of Glory Crest (known as First Crest in the past) that specializes in production type, a mage who stood at the supreme height of production type magic .
In that sense, being my party member would present the most ideal environment for that purpose .
"Umm . . . Did you get what I was trying to say?"
Ruli asked me with a worried look on her face .
I nodded firmly .
"Yeah, I did . "
" . . . Yeah I don"t think so . . . "
Alma murmured when she heard me .
. . . I got what Ruli wanted to say loud and clear though . . .
While thinking that, Iris muttered in earnest .
"I"m truly glad that I"m in this party . . . "
Her words were full of emotions .
To be frank, I think Iris is the biggest victim in this party though .
After all, we dragged her out of her mountain while she was resting to recover her wounds just because we needed a transportation .
As I look at Iris while thinking that . . .
" . . . I mean, as long as I"m in this party, I won"t antagonize the symbol of fear to all dragons!"
"Mathi-kun you were known as that . . . ?"
"First I"ve heard of that . . . But I won"t be surprised if you tell me dragons fear Mathi-kun . . . He erased that [Dragon Breath] and all when we met Iris-san back then . . . "
She"s talking about the past huh . . .
That was a story from thousands of years ago though .
"No, I"m only a symbol of fear to Iris, I think . . . "
I recall all the extraordinary situations we faced up until now .
Such situations weren"t unusual in my past life either .
However . . . Those were in the span of once every few years or decades .
Compared to that, there"s way too many irregularities in this world .
My past life would even look peaceful if you directly compare to the rush of extraordinary situations we"ve been dealing here .
It"s more like there are just way too many abnormalities in this world than just us getting dragged into one .
Almost like a complication would arise every month .
Demons aren"t supposed to get revived one after another like this to begin with .
There might be a [True Cause] to this all behind the scenes .
I"ve got a few candidates on mind already . . . But we"ve got to resolve the situation we have at hand first thing first .
"Tell me though, since you"re heading straight to the site . . . You"ve got a chance, don"t you?"
The princ.i.p.al asked me .
I nodded without any hesitation .
"Yeah . . . There is no chance but winning here . "
Honestly speaking, it"s doubtful if I can defeat Zadokilgias by myself .
But it"s not an opponent us four cannot win against .
