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 participating 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 principal 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 .
