Chapter 667: Randy is Too Capable
I told Randy about everything that I know and is important for him to know. I didn’t taught him about magic control or other magic related stuffs. Not because I can’t trust him. But because there’s no need to tell him at this point. And he can ask someone with similar element as him to teach him.
He can learn about earth element and healing element from Kayla here. As for lightning, he can ask Candy.
Though for physical training, he can ask me. I can tell from his body that he trained every day.
“Why do you train your body? I know that it’s important but most people would ignore physical training since increasing their magic level can improve their strength. And I don’t know why someone like you would train,” I asked Randy.
“It’s because that woman I talked about. The one who pretended to be weak and became a slave,” Randy explained.
Apparently, the master level mage woman who tried to kill Albert but decided to retreat after she saw me was too strong for Randy who is just an expert level mage. And Randy’s instinct told him that she’s dangerous before even fighting her.
He doesn’t know why someone as strong as her would be a slave. So he tried to improve his magic. But reaching master level mage is too hard for him so he trained his body along the way.
.....
“The fastest way to defeat a mage is to hit them before they can use their magic after all,” Randy said.
“Oh, you have the same mindset as Roy. Still, no matter how strong you are, you can’t be stronger than an Aura user,” Albert said.
“But being able to train his body is good. As he says, the fastest way to defeat a mage in close range is to hit them before they use their magic. If it’s him, even without magic, I think he can still defeat expert level mages in close range. Though for master level mage, he’s still far behind in strength. His strength is at least above the strongman’s strength in the circus,” I said.
“Circus? Now that you mention it, I think I have seen you before. Are you from the circus?” Randy asked.
“Yes. During performance, I play as Clarence the Clown,” I said.
“No wonder you seem similar,” Randy said.
“No, there’s no way they would be similar. He was full with makeup and costume. There’s nothing similar about their appearance,” Shirley said.
No, but extreme fan should know me without the costume. It’s natural since I normally act like how Clarence would act. Perceiving the surrounding.
“Anyway, what’s my punishment? I have done a lot of illegal activities. I should be executed, right?” Randy asked casually. How come someone who will be executed asked that so casually? He’s crazy. I like him. He could be our greatest asset.
“Execution is unavoidable. I’ll get someone to be your body double to be publicly executed. More importantly, I shouldn’t be here. I need to make an excuse why I’m here. Probably something like traveling incognito to investigate this city,” Albert said.
“Oh, that’s fine. I have a lot of documents so you can just read them. There should be some more dangerous individuals in this city. But since you could evn capture a master level mage, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to capture or kill them all, right?” Randy said.
Is this okay? Saying things like execution so easily and body double to swap the lord? Even Kayla who always seem cool looks surprised.
“Anyway, you missed a lot of things. So, we’ll need you to catch up with us first before proceeding to our next action. That’s why I had Candy, Wendy, Kayla, and Shirley here. As for Roy, you can go and capture the rest of the dangerous people in this city,” Albert said as he hand me a stack of documents about dangerous individuals here.
Man, there are so many of them. I saw some of them before.
“Hmm? That is... Well, I’d like to get to know this Randy guy more, but some of the people in this list are trying to escape. So, see you later,” I said as I left the mansion from the window to capture the escaping people I just saw.
There are three people in the direction I’m going. Two of them are in the list. And they are both listed to be members of the cult.
I looked at them and one of them didn’t have explosive device in his mouth. And the last one who is not on the list seem to be the leader of the three.
How did Randy found them to be members of the cult? He’s so smart. Maybe he’s as smart as Toni in Arturo. Like Albert said, he might be more suitable to be a king than Albert.
Hmm... maybe he’s more suited in this line. Being a spy or something. He’s so good at it.
I chased after the three men while checking on the list to check if I see other people or not. I’ll capture them later.
“Someone is after us! Prepare to fight!”
The leader of the three then turned around preparing to fight when he noticed me. But before they could attack me, I used Victorifle and shoot them with Blobbybullet filled with sleeping gas.
I’m an expert level air mage now. The gases I created, from magic and not naturally created inside my body, can be very effective against other expert level mages. I’ll try to use them on master level mages as well later and see if they can be affected or not.
The Blobbybullet didn’t hit them. But instead, it opened just before it hit the target. And the air inside the bullet spread around the area and make the three of them fell asleep.
“Alright, that’s three down. Several dozens more to go,” I said.
“Roy, you won’t act as living armor?” Victoria asked.
“Like I said before, it will be too suspicious if the living armor act too close to the circus,” I said.
“But you have let yourself be known as a summoner when you capture that master level mage. If someone is smart enough, they could connect you with the living armor. Thinking that you are the master of the living armor,” Victoria said.
“Hmm... I didn’t think about that. Well, even if that’s the case, I don’t think it will be much trouble for us. We originally used the living armor to bait the master level mages from the cult to come after us. But just a while after the tour, we already encounter several master level mages from the cult. I think we’re doing fine without having to bait them. But if it’s work, that’s fine. Though I need to show that I’m not the master of the living armor. Since I have Airy with me all the time, I can pretend that she’s my familiar. You don’t mind that, right?” I asked Airy who has been sticking with me the whole time.
“I don’t mind. I’m with you all the time anyway,” Airy replied.

“What about me? What about me?” Breezy asked me.
“Oh, right. Will you return to Kron or will you stick with me a little longer?” I asked.
“I’ll go with Kron! Being with you is confusing. If you want to fight, just fight. Kron did it like that,” Breezy said.
That’s because Kron encounters a lot of bandits in his travel. And most of them are people he needs to defeat. That’s why he doesn’t need to think much and just fight them.
Unlike me who will look for enemy first and hunt them later. And since I will mostly do it in secret, I’m less flashy than Kron. That’s why Breezy prefer Kron more than me.
“Then I’ll transport you after I got his permission,” I said.
I called Sonia to ask Kron, and when she returned, we have the permission to open a portal to where Kron is. We will meet again when we decide our next performance. I guess I’ll ask Thomas if we should perform here again or not. This time with our full members.
After getting rid of the three, I returned to the city and look for Burnes. He’s talking to someone that he has just defeated when I found him.
“Hey, Burnes. How is it?” I asked.
“This guy is the agent who betrayed the kingdom. He shared intel with someone from Arturo. And it’s not Arturo now. It’s Arturo back when they were still being under control of the cult,” Burnes said.
“No! I didn’t know that they’re from the cult!” the former agent shouted.
“But you still share confidential information with another kingdom!” Burnes said.
“He’s a member of the cult though. The lord is actually some sort of spy. I have his picture on this list.”
I showed Burnes the list of the dangerous people in this city. There’s a picture and the name of the wanted people as well. And this agent’s face is drawn here. Randy must be good at drawing as well. How come one person be so good in many things? I’m jealous.
“I see. For now, please take him to the prison. I’ll help you find these people,” Burnes said as he took the documents from me.
Though I will find those people first with my Divine Vision. Well, I don’t mind a helping hand. I’ll just get rid of the people trying to escape first while Burnes will focus on the city.
