HOLY NECROMANCER: REBIRTH OF THE STRONGEST MAGE

114 Chapter 114



Reading the content, Gabriel understood that it was a mission related to him. The mission talked about a distant town. The name of the town was also recognized by him. It was his own town, after all.

The mission was posted just recently. It asked the students to go to the town and investigate what actually happened there. The Academy wanted the students to possibly interrogate the people of the town to find out what had happened.

"It looks like the mission was issued because of Hawrin. The academy wants to dig out the past of Hawrin. In turn, they want to dig out my past too."

The mission also mentioned that the town was mostly empty by now, and no one lived there. The person who took the mission needed to investigate the town and then locate the people of that town, who were supposed to shift to nearby towns.

The mission wasn't too complicated. It was basically a reconnaissance mission that didn't have much danger. However, still the classification of this mission was the highest level of danger, all because the mission was possibly related to a Dark Mage.

Amongst the criteria of the mission, it was mentioned that the student needed to be a Fourth Year Mage and someone who had a way to escape in case he came face to face with a Dark Mage.

"Whoever took this mission, it seems that they are quite capable if they think that they can outrun Lira when she wants to kill someone. Seems naive; still, maybe they might have a way."

While Gabriel finished reading the mission, a person entered the Mission Hall, seemingly looking for something. It was a young woman in her early twenties who was wearing a beautiful white gown and a white robe on top of that.

Seeing the Symbol of Summoning on her hand, Gabriel understood what she was looking for. She was probably Aira who had dropped this letter accidentally, and now she was trying to find it again.

No wonder she looked unnerved. The mission was supposed to be classified, which wasn't allowed to be known by the others, and she had dropped the letter.

If Gabriel wanted, he could've given the letter to Aira, but he chose against it. She wanted to investigate him. Why should he help her? If he didn't give her the letter, it could only delay her mission which was quite good.

Moreover, even if he gave her the letter, he didn't trust these mages enough. What was stopping her from accusing him in return for stealing it? She could also get him in trouble for the possibility of him reading a classified letter which he wasn't allowed to.

He kept the letter in his pocket and started leaving, walking right past the girl.

He left the Mission Hall while Aira kept looking for the letter, seemingly really concerned.

"Are you looking for something, Senior?"

As Aira was still looking for it, a young man walked up to him.

"It's none of your concern," Aira scoffed.

The young man was taken aback. But he still didn't give up. If he could help the woman, he knew he could get close to a Senior and get some benefits. Moreover, Aira was very beautiful to him. He really wanted to be her knight in shining Armor as she seemed like she was in trouble.

"Are you looking for a letter?" The young man asked.

Aira stopped. She straightened up and glared at the young man. "Where is that letter?"

She didn't even ask how he knew it. The only thing that mattered was that he knew what she was looking for, which meant he knew that a letter was lost here! That could only mean he also knew where it was!

"Do you have it?"

"I don't, but I know who does. Not long ago, I saw a First Year Mage of Light pick up a paper that looked like a mission letter. He went through the letter, but as soon as you entered, he hid the letter in his pocket."

" I watched it with my own eyes, that's why I took a guess that the letter was related to you. Why else would he hide it?" The man explained with a fawning smile. "I just thought I should help Senior!"

"Where is that Man?!" Aira asked quite impatiently.

"He just left. He should still be outside. I'll show you!" The man ran out of the Mission Hall as well, followed by Aira.

Aira was really angry. The man stole her letter even after knowing what it was! She was really going to teach that man a lesson no matter who it was!

Aira stepped out of the Mission Hall, noticing the young man pointing his finger in the distance. "There, he is the one. The guy who is walking like he has no care in the world!"

"Are you sure it's him?"

"I am a hundred percent sure!" the young man declared.

"So he's the thief! I'll teach him a lesson that he will never forget!"

Aira ran after Gabriel.

"You there! Stop!"

Gabriel, who was walking at his normal pace, heard someone yelling from behind. He stopped and turned around, quite curious.

'This girl...' Seeing the girl coming after him, he felt like he had an idea why she was coming here.

Behind Aira, another man came. The two people stopped before Gabriel.

Hearing the minor commotion, a few more students in the surrounding area also stopped, wondering what it was about. It looked like a first-year student was in some conflict with a Fourth Year student.

"Return the letter, you thief!" Aira raised her hand nicely.

"What letter?" Gabriel tilted his head in innocence. "Am I supposed to have a letter or something?"

"Stop acting! I saw you with my own eyes, stealing her Mission Letter! Do you know what crime it is to steal at the Academy, especially stealing a Mission Letter of a Fourth Year student?

"Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you got the wrong guy." Gabriel didn't get nervous. These people shouldn't do anything just based on accusations.

"Really? Then what is it?!" The young man inserted his hand into Gabriel's pocket without his permission. It was the same pocket where he saw him keep the letter.

"Huh?" Unfortunately, as soon as he searched the pockets, he didn't find anything. There was nothing in that pocket! Hastily, he searched the other pocket as well, but there was nothing there as well."

"Is this a robbery attempt?" Gabriel asked, seemingly confused. "I'm a new student, and I'm quite poor. So even if you want to rob me, you won't find anything."

"Hey, is a Fourth Year student trying to rob a newcomer?"

Hearing Gabriel's response, a wrong message was sent amongst the people who were watching everything. They all felt like Aira and the boy was trying to rob the young boy.

"Man, that's quite embarrassing. Stealing from the first year? Hahaha, at least they should've selected a rich person to rob!"

"They seem to be idiots."

A conversation started amongst the spectators. Despite that, none of them dared to enter the conflict to stop anyone. None of them was a Fourth Year student here, after all, other than Aira. So they all stayed back, just enjoying and occasionally mocking Aira.

Even Aira could hear the conversation that had started. Her face started twitching in anger as she glared at the young man who gave her this information.

The young man was also getting nervous! Where did the letter go?! He saw it with his own eyes! But now, there was nothing in the pockets. He also patted Gabriel's clothes but couldn't sense anything!

"I swear on my life, Senior. I saw him keep that letter with my own eyes! Why would I tell you such a stupid lie?!" The man turned around, seemingly sweating by how. If the letter wasn't found, he was going to look like a liar.

Fortunately for him, Aira still believed him. She was sure he wasn't lying. His expressions weren't the expressions of someone who was lying.

Moreover, it was true. Why would he lie about this since this lie couldn't survive for long? Furthermore, the man knew she was looking for a letter, which meant he definitely saw it! That only meant that Gabriel was lying. She was trying to mock them with his act.

"If you two are done, can I leave?" Finished with the search, Gabriel started leaving.

The young man didn't know that Gabriel could use spatial storage. That's where he hid the letter. Let alone these people; even their fathers couldn't find that letter now. And without the letter, he was innocent.

"Take off your Gloves...." Aira commanded.

Hearing her command, Gabriel stopped again. Did she just ask him to take off his gloves?

"I know you have my letter," Aira coldly stated. "From the moment you left the Mission Hall to the moment I came out, you have had enough time to hide it. The letter isn't in your pocket, nor is it in your clothes, but those gloves..."

Everything was checked, except Gabriel's gloves which were a perfect place where a letter could be hidden after folding.

Moreover, seeing Gabriel hesitate for a moment when his gloves were mentioned, she misunderstood it as his fear of being caught. She thought that was where he had the letter for sure!

Gabriel also frowned. There was no way in hell he was going to take off those gloves. If he did, his Ring of Necromancy was going to be visible along with the Ring of Apophis. That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was that his Mark of Necromancy was also going to be visible.

"I'm afraid I've wasted enough of my time on you two clowns. I didn't come here to be stripped naked just because you want. You are neither father nor my mother." He was fine with everything else, but when it came to his gloves, the water was getting over his head.

"Who do you think you even are to command me? I didn't even take off my gloves when your Head Teacher of Earth asked me. You think I will listen to you?"

He stopped playing with their rules.
