Chapter 228: Relaxed Day by the Lake
Chapter 228: Relaxed Day by the Lake
"This is so peaceful."
I said t myself seeing everyone enjoying the picnic and playing in the lake.
Although Shelia prided herself to not have anyone rides her back in her Wolf form, she's already letting everyone here riding her back. Mostly because she enjoys playing with them. Especially with the kids. She also has been running for an hour with only stopping to let different people ride her back.
Shelia's running on land, on the water, and on air while letting anyone on her back enjoys the wind. When I asked if she can swim, she said that she's not as fast as when she's running, so she doesn't enjoy it much. Though from her answer, I can tell that at least she can swim.
From what I see, she has the potential to be even stronger than Grandpa Werewolf. It will be my duty to make her stronger as her master and the king of the Werewolves. But if she ended up become stronger than me, will she want to be the next king? Nah, Red said that my position will stay as it is at least until the war is over. I need to use my position wisely until then.
Then after we have our lunch, Shelia suddenly said something to Angela.
"Hey, Angela! Let's fight again! This time, I will win without a doubt!" Shelia challenged Angela. After she lost that time, she must have wanted to fight her again, but she seems to have forgotten about it since she's enjoying this world.
"Sure! Let's fight!" As for Angela, she also wanted to get stronger by fighting as well. She's eager to fight Shelia since their fight back then was so close. No one can predict the winner until the very end. Though this time, I stopped them from fighting right away.
"You two, not here, not now. And you must not fight until death or causing a big injury against each other. If you want to go all out against each other, you have to ask for Kayla's presence and also mine. The two of us have to watch your all-out fight so we can heal you after the match."
Although I'm not a healer, I'm still a doctor. I can at least fix broken bone or reattach lost limbs. Then I can ask Kayla to heal them so their injuries won't persist.
"Then, tomorrow!" Shelia shouted.
"Tomorrow is fine, but after we finished our training. So, in the afternoon before the sun sets, you and Angela will fight. IS that fine with you, Kayla?"
"It's fine. And you can just use your portal to transport me if I'm not with you." Kayla replied.
That mean tomorrow after training, I have to witness Shelia and Angela fight again. As long as the two become stronger, I don't mind. At least they shouldn't get themselves killed or injured badly before the fight against the cult.
The cult has been quiet for a while, and it will be five years until they make their move. That's what Veronica said before.
Now that I mentioned her, it has been a while since we heard report from her.
"Sonia, is there no report from Veronica about the cult's movement?"
"Not at all. She only reported about her whereabouts. Should I ask her?"
"No need. Just ask her next time she called you."
If she doesn't have anything to report, at least that mean the cult is not preparing any big moves at the moment.
Well, at least that's good.
"By the way, Albert told me about your training camp. He said that the training camp should be just once and to be scheduled at the end of your two years training." Sonia continued relaying message from Albert.
"Well, I don't mind that. The training camps was also suggested to let the kids have something to look forward to after all. But now I have my portals, I can take them anywhere I want. I'll accept that suggestion. By then, I hope I would be able to make more portals. Hopefully, I have reached advanced level in my summoning element at that time so I can make a contract with my third monster."
After two years, I wonder how strong everyone will be? By then, Jewel also have manifested her magic for a year and graduate from school, right? Then maybe she can go to magic college at the same time as us, right?
Jewel's growth is too slow. She has become stronger, faster, and have more stamina than before, but she's on the slow side. I think she's not going to be skilled in physical department. Although her body growth might have affected her in some ways. I think she has grown more than half centimeters in this week alone. Well, I hope next year, she will get some good elements manifested and she has good aptitude in magic.
Today is the day where all Introductory school accepted new students, and they will manifest their magical elements today. And Candy is going to the school in Cassau to check if there are someone with good magical attributes. Then she will recommend those students to the king to join us. I hope she gets good ones.
Well, since she's in Cassau, she can just tell me later about anyone she found interesting. Then I will see if they or their relatives have explosives in their mouth. If they don't have any and no criminal records, she will recommend them to Albert. I don't know about other cities though. I hope whoever tasked to check on the new students will do a good job selecting the people to join us. We can't have a cult member mistakenly taken into our side.
I guess I should get some rest for today. Maybe tomorrow I will go back to Monsters World and finally fight some All-seeing Eye to improve my vision ability. Once my Divine Vision improved, I should be able to see inside a dungeon with dense mana. I'm still planning to enter that dungeon I found in Monsters World while crossing the ocean.
"Hey, girls! I forgot to tell you something. Soon, I will enter a dungeon in the Monsters World that I found. Anyone want to join me exploring that dungeon?" I asked if there are someone interested in coming with me for the exploration.
"In a few weeks? Why not soon?" Angela asked.
"I'm planning to kill some All-seeing Eyes first before entering that dungeon. Maybe tomorrow I will go to Monsters World. Since I need to kill them without using magic and get some help, I will be going alone. Only Victoria with me to guide me to their nest. Unless there are Werewolves who know their location. Shelia, do you know about All-seeing Eye?" I asked Shelia.
"Yes. As long as we don't enter their sight, they won't cause us trouble. And since they always dodge our attacks and they can easily hit us back, none of the Werewolves want to fight them. And you have killed one before? That's amazing! As expected of the king!" Shelia feels happy that I managed to kill one in the past.
"Yeah, but since you know their whereabouts, I'll ask you to guide me there. And you will try fighting one as well. As a close combat fighter, fighting an opponent who can read your moves, you will learn a lot and you will be able to fight smarter. Maybe I'll take some Werewolves with me as well?"
Then once I finished one or two All-seeing Eyes, I can let the other Werewolves fight them. If they can't finish an All-seeing Eye, I will help them.
"Really!? I have always wanted to defeat one of them! I can't wait for tomorrow! Angela, we'll put our re-match on-hold! This is more important!" Shelia said.
"Hey, Roy! I'm also interested in that monster after seeing you fight it before! Let me come as well!" Angela asked to join.
With her fighting that monster, she will learn a lot as well. I think it's a good idea.
"Sure. Then tomorrow, we'll be going to the Werewolves settlement. As for those who are not coming, don't slack on your training."
"Master! I thought there are no cases of anyone ever defeating All-seeing Eye before! Does it mean you wrote history?" Jewel asked. Looks like she studied well. She even knows that story about no one have ever defeated All-seeing Eye before.
"Yes. But I want to keep it as secret for a while longer. I can't become too famous since I'm a secret weapon for the fight against the cult. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
"You're awesome, Master! Can I be as strong as you?" Jewel asked.
"No, that's impossible." I said plainly
Seeing Jewel looks so dejected, I feel bad.
"I'm not saying you're weak. It's just that I don't think you will be able to become an Aura user like me. And you will only manifest your magic in one year. I don't know what elements you will gain, but with these many people you can learn from, you can be stronger in different things than me. I wish to see you become that strong one day."
"I will! One day, I will gain enough strength to defeat All-seeing Eye alone!"
Glad that she returned back to her cheerful self. I also need to be stronger to not be surpassed by my own disciple.
After we return back to Cassau, Candy informs me about the potential allies from the new students. And she found no one good.
Some of the new students have good elements. She wanted to see if they are good candidate to be our allies. But it seems that the agents have collected a lot of information about the new students, and Candy decided that none of them are good enough.
When I asked, she said that it's because of their personalities. All of the new students who have good potentials are all assholes.
Well, I guess not finding new allies is better than getting assholes as our allies.
