Chapter 672: Randy’s Training
Finally, the show is over. And the circus troupe need to gather supplies before moving to the next city.
During our show, we have more people coming as expected. They are mostly people who have their beloved people returned already after being enslaved and seek entertainment. Some still doesn’t have their beloved people returned since they were bought by people from outside the city. And it was difficult to find them and return them back to their family. But the show still went on with full attendance.
Many people complained and said that Randy needs to be publicly executed. But we can’t do that. We need him to escape from prison.
There will be more complains if Randy escapes from prison. But I’ll just leave it to Albert and Randy on how they want things to go.
While the others are getting supplies for our next destination, which should be a few weeks away, I returned back to my mansion in the capital to see how Randy is doing.
When I return, only Ruby is in the mansion. Ian is secretly meeting Albert while Randy is training quite far from the capital with Angela whom I invited here.
Ian has been secretly meeting with Albert ever since he got married with Ruby. They do it because Albert needed Ian to send secret message to some people who still doesn’t have Sonia’s soil. Those are people that he can’t trust yet.
.....
With his beastform, Ian can travel fast. And no one will expect that a bird flying in the sky is a beastform mage. That’s why he’s the best messenger that Albert has.
...By the way, we also don’t know if birds in the sky are beastform mages or not. But as long as they got too close to us who are already expert level mages, we can tell that they are not any ordinary birds or maybe even some other creatures.
At least now every kingdom within the alliance have expert level mage by the leader’s side. Tatrama has Mustache, Consenza has Celestine, Varadis has Julia, and the king of Arturo, Fabio, is already an expert level mage. So they should be able to notice if there are some intruder in animal form. Because even if they turned into an animal, they are originally mages who have mana in their body. Unless they are trained in hiding their mana, they can be found easily.
After greeting Ruby, I open up a portal to where Angela and Randy are training at. And when I get there, I can see something obvious. Angela defeating Randy and Randy can’t do anything about it.
“So... how long have you been training?” I asked the two of them.
“Since after breakfast. He said that he learned a lot. Though he still can’t defeat me at,” Angela replied.
Randy is too tired now and he’s just lying on the ground after healing himself.
Right now, his face is already covered with tattoo. Just the right side of his face. Not the whole face.
There are also some visible scar on his face. I guess that’s what he decided. To get both scars and tattoo.
As for his body, there are some area that has been inked. But they are still incomplete. If he wants to, Randy can go and visit Hendrick to complete the tattoo. But it’s not important. As long as he can disguise himself, he can finish his tattoo some other time.
...Seeing how he took his time with the tattoo, I guess once everything is over, he will keep the tattoos. Probably the scars as well. Well, he’s also a healer. He can just heal himself if he doesn’t want them anymore.
“So, how was training?” I asked Randy.
“Huff... I don’t really get it asking from Angela. But at least the practical use of my magic is better than before,” Randy said.
“That’s good. Candy and Kayla will be able to teach you from this afternoon. You can ask them about lightning, earth, or healing magic. And what will you do after learning them all?” I asked.
“What do you mean?” Randy asked me back instead of answering.
“I mean do you want to proceed with the plan sooner, or continue your training? I can also bring you to Monsters World so you can gain experience there. What do you want?”
“...I think I’ll take that offer of going to Monsters World. Even after knowing everything I needed to know, I still need to gain some experience,” Randy said.
“Okay. Then once you learned everything, I’ll bring you there and I will introduce you to the monsters I know there. The monsters, especially the werewolves, will be happy if you ask them for a spar. They love fighting,” I said.
Though right now, the werewolf I’m in contract with, Shelia, is with Jewel in Monsters World. Jewel is still trying to improve her beastform magic by learning more about other rhino type monsters there.
The last time I met her, she has full control of her steel rhino form and she can use steel rhino’s earth magic as well. She can be considered to be at the weaker side of expert level earth mage. Just slightly weaker than the cult’s average expert level mage. But that’s already more than enough.
“Alright, since you’re doing well, I’ll leave now. Candy and Kayla will arrive soon. They’re traveling on their own instead of using portal so they can gain some experience. I will go to Consenza and see how the rebellion is going. I heard from Sonia that they have taken care of it,” I said.
“The rebellion in Consenza? First time I hear about it,” Randy said.
“Oh, and after the rebellion, the Albert said that there will be a meeting with other kings. If you want, you can come and meet them as well.”
“I’ll pass. Even if they can be trusted, the less people know me the better since I’ll be moving independently later,” Randy said.
I guess he won’t meet Lynn and the others then. That’s fine. As long as he knows that they are not enemies, it doesn’t matter if he meets them or not.
I then open up a portal directly to Lynn’s location after getting her permission. I open it somewhere Randy can’t see because he said that he doesn’t want to meet them. Unless I have to force him obviously.
We’re in Lynn’s bedroom as usual. And other than Lynn, Claudia and Celestine are there as well.
“So, how’s it going?” I asked.
“Even though we keep being defensive the whole time and the one staging the coup couldn’t do anything and they still haven’t give up. So this morning, we started being offensive. One hour in and they gave up. So stupid,” Lynn said.
“...Aren’t they just way too stupid? They should have learned the strength difference when they can’t even get into the capital. But they only need one hour to get destroyed. So, why did you call me?” I asked.
This morning, before I return to my mansion, Lynn asked me to come here after saying that the rebellion is over. She must have something for me to do.
“The continuation of the living armor. Yesterday, you said that you might not need it because you keep encountering master level mages. But that doesn’t mean you will stop pretending to be a living armor, right? We want you to go to the cities that the rebels used as bases. They got tricked to join the rebellion but that doesn’t mean there are no enemies there. We want you to get rid of them. Here are the pictures of the people who are heavily connected with the rebels, but there might be more. You have the freedom to decide on what to do with them,” Claudia explained to me.
She gave me documents with pictures of the rebels that haven’t been captured yet. I guess with me roaming around freely, the aftermath can be taken care of quickly.
“I understand. Victoria, you heard that?” I asked Victoria.
“Clearly. Summon Ray quickly so I can move! I can’t wait to let loose already,” Victoria said.
My schedule seems to be packed these last few days. But now that Randy will continue his training, the rebellion is over, and the circus will continue traveling, I will have some free time again.
But I can only get free time after I get rid of some remaining rebels. That doesn’t seem to be difficult though.
“By the way, do you find any relation of this rebellion with the cult?” I asked Claudia.
“There were some who blew their own head. A few of them got caught without the chance to blow their own head. We’re currently interrogating them if the cult has anything to do with the rebellion or not. But for now, it seems like those cult members join the rebellion on their own accord and not because their higher ups asked them for it,” Claudia explained.
That mean I need to figure it out as well during the mission. That’s annoying.

I’ll do it anyway. Even if the cult is destroyed in the future, we can’t guarantee that normal thugs won’t annoy me when I try to live peacefully. So it’s best if we can also get rid of those thugs.
