Chapter 18: Visitor in the Night
update icon Updated at 2025/3/28 5:10:12

"Cheers~"

Inside the private room of 'Dragon Night', a fancy restaurant in the southeast corner of the town outside the academy, our group is having a toast to celebrate today's victory.

Besides Yaling and Princess Cher, there are also Hill, Aliyah, Fran and the classmates from the ice class.

The reason why we can eat here is because of Princess Cher, as same as in my world, without any privilege, it is impossible for us to enter this kind of vip place

But ......

the concept of this world is too exaggerated, right? Even if there are more than 30 people in our class, there is no need to get a room that can accommodate more than 100 people for us, one table can have 50 people sat on it, you are letting us play Legends of the Three Kingdoms or Werewolves of Miller's Hollow?

But if they really do so, the game will soon end after everyone draw a card once ......

But to be honest, ...... the food in high-class restaurant is really delicious, especially there is a quite difference when compare with the restaurant outside. Unfortunately, everyone was tirelessly asking me questions about magical combat, so I could only have a bite after talking about it for a long time.

It feels like we have already won the grade competition, but, instead, it makes me a little worried.

Hiett's magic tool is against the rules, but the truth is, it is only an isolated case.

What would happen if my opponent has an overpowered item that is allowed in the rule?

This is a matter of concern, after all, I have exposed my own strength in my first match, although my opponent can’t know whether this is my full strength, but the person who fights me afterwards will definitely come out with full strength against me at the beginning.

Imagine if Hiett had attacked me with his full strength by using 'Fallen Sun' when I was careless at the beginning, I might have fought a bitter battle before being serious.

"What are you thinking about~ Tell me more about how you dodged those attacks~"

"Ah ...... well, okay."

There is nothing I can do now, I will cross the bridge when I get to it, I shall consider about that later.

The party keeps going on until late at night, and everyone is about to return to their dorms.

The boys' and girls' apartments are originally not together, and most of our class are the sons of nobility, so naturally the apartments they live are completely different from mine.

I am the kind of person who doesn't need a particularly large place to live, so I naturally pick the cheapest one to live in.

So, as we walked, I am the only one left heading for my apartment.

But there is no limit in the apartments in the Magic Academy, so it doesn't matter whenever I go back.

I live in a far apartment, and at this time everyone had gone back or was planning not to go back, so soon the surrounding slowly quieted down.

But I am not feeling bored, after all, through the walls I could still see the names of the people who live near here.

It's still fun to comment about other people's titles and names, and I can tell a lot about them by their titles.

For example, the guy on the right called Mardell, there are 'stingy' and 'traveler' in his title, so you can basically tell that this guy is one of those people that are still doing private resale business, after all, for people who are not really legitimate businessmen, they will probably don’t have some words like “merchant” in their titles

And the one behind me called One, how his name is so strange ......

......

wait, One?

I remember seeing this name, and it's still a recent thing.

Because there was another person who would correspond to his name, called Two, which is a 17 years old burly female ......

Well, that's not the point, the point is why Princess Cher's escort is following me.

I looked around and didn't see Princess Cher's name.

Could she use an invisibility item? Impossible, right? Even her guard didn't use, so how could she use it?

Then the only explanation is ...... this guy is specifically coming to find me alone?

"Looking for me for something? Are you intended to drink tea and chat with me when I return to the dormitory, or is your problem can be solved by us chatting directly outside?"

"......"

I looked in the direction of One for a while, the guy seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then came out of the shadows.

Ouch, this guy is actually still dressed in black, what is he planning to do?

I don't like man.

"Fir you are really different for finding out that I am following. Even if I did not deliberately hide, it is still very difficult for the normal person to see me, let alone me sneaking. You did not deliberately look around to check if someone was following you, but just happened to see me when you turned around, it seems that your strength is beyond the level of this academy's low-grade class."

"...... Do you usually not speak to pretend that you are a mute? Now you are making me uncomfortable by speaking so much at once."

"Pretend to be mute? What's that?"

" Forget it, to answer your question, I just can easily find out whether there are people hiding around, and you didn't use your any skill for stalking, so I naturally found you."

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to have such an ability."

"Not to mention this, what are you planning to do by following me with wearing black clothes in the middle of the night, are you not planning to do something to me, right?"

"Of course not, I am Princess Cher's professional escort, and the princess has to rely on you to win the grade competition, so I wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

I couldn't see his expression, although I feel a relaxed feeling in this guy's tone, but his words that had no tone at all makes people feel really bad.

"Then why?"

"Because someone wants to avoid Princess Cher to to talk to you directly."

"......"

What the hell, why this kind of hidden plots always happen in the night, at least give me a chance to sleep, okay?

You see, I am really tired, so let me sleep.

"Can you tell me, who is it?"

Although sleep is important, but I would say no to this kind of thing that may be able to earn good things.

"You'll know if you come with me. Believe me and Princess Cher, we will never harm you."

What if it hurts me? In this city I can still come back from the dead, so what can you do to me?

"All right, lead the way."

The other side nodded, and then turned around and walked inside an alley.

After I sighed, I followed after this name.

But this guy actually jumped on the roof after entering the alley!

Oh my God! What the hell, he really thinks I can fly?

After helplessly shaking my head, I clicked the 'light feather” and acceleration, then jumped to the second floor and stepped on the balcony to jump up step by step.

"Come on, don't let a mage do what a warrior does!"

"Aren’t you following up?"

"......"

Quite speechless, it is really annoying.

But for the sake of the hidden route that might be there, I do!

After running with him on the roof for several minutes, we returned to the commercial district.

Although it was already bedtime, but there are still a few stores still open.

One jumped a few times, then landed on the balcony of a unknown store, and walked inside.

I also followed behind him.

"You are Fir? Really ...... You are strong!"

The person in front of me startled me because I had seen this person on the terminal in the library!

Hal-Ais-Afungus!

the Emperor of the Ais Empire!

And ...... the father of Princess Cher!
