The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 155 - Cultural Festival

Chapter 155 - Cultural Festival

Souta woke up early in the morning. He got home late at night because he visited the red light district yesterday.
Souta yawned as he stretched his arms before he stood up and went to the bathroom.
He brushed his teeth and washed his face.
'You're an evil goblin. A very evil one.'
He heard Saya's voice in his head and he ignored it. He doesn't want to bother himself at this time.
Well, he knew why she was complaining at him. He brought the sword in the red light district and let her hear do the deeds with the woman there. She watched him having s.e.x with the woman there.
Souta shook his head and he exited the bathroom. He wore his uniform and checked his appearance. Today was the start of the cultural festival and it will last for three days.
After the festival, they will go back to training to improve their fighting abilities. Also, the start of the outdoor training.
He didn't know the full details of this outdoor training as Bargan only announce it to them. Bargan didn't give them enough details to know what will happen in this training.
After this festival, he would fight ranking battles to earn some points and exchanged it for skills. He knew his strength and was sure that he could dominate the ranking and become the top 1 ranker.
He fought the top 1 and above ranker in the special test so he was sure about that. There's only something that he was wary about. And it's the people who choose to hide their strength like Randolf who fought Gregory before.
Souta wasn't even sure if he could defeat Randolf in a one on one battle. He heard from Lumilia and the others how Randolf fought Gregory. And he had one thing to say about it. Randolf's power level was high to the point that it exceeds first-year students.
Using a tier 3 spell? Damn! Just by this feat, he could say that Randolf was really a powerful person. He tried to recall if Randolf resembled some of the powerful people in the game, but he didn't remember anyone that has similarities to him.
Another secret character that has an unknown background. Souta was itching to know this but he was sure that no one would give important information about one's self easily.
He too was like that. He wouldn't tell anyone that he was a monster unless time calls for it.
Souta hung the [Vajra Sword Saya] on his waist before he went downstairs. He gave Yuko her breakfast before he left and went to the Ladro Institute.
...
On his way to the institute, Souta saw a lot of people going inside the institute too. Even some adventurers visited the famous institute for fun. They were going to visit one of the most famous institutions in Hebrei Kingdom.
Just looking at their face, Souta could see that they were enthusiastic. Every corner inside the institute, he could see a group of guards patrolling around. Even some teachers were patrolling around. They will be able to handle it if some trouble occurred here as all of them were powerful.
Each guard have the power of C-rank adventurers while the teachers have the power that could rival those monsters that have a monster orb. Not only that, because of the existence of the Principal and other high-level teachers no one would dare to cause a commotion here.
The institute will naturally tighten their security on this kind of occasion.
Souta went to the cafeteria first to buy a coffee before he went to his class.
Holding a cup of coffee, Souta entered his class and saw that everyone was ready.
The preparation was already complete.
Most of the tables and chairs had been moved to the back of the classroom and stacked up to make space. The remaining table had been put together with white tablecloths on top to make it seem like lunch tables.
Posters about their theatre play were plastered on the walls, and accessories about it were placed around. They also placed a booth outside so that if they wanted to buy a souvenir, they could buy it in the booth.
The blackboard and the area in the front of the classroom were cut off. They were going to use this place as a temporary kitchen where they would prepare the food.
While this wasn't perfect by any means, Souta didn't find any significant problem.
"Brother Souta!!"
He looked over and found that Cl.u.s.ter was here. Oh right? He forgot that he had to tour Cl.u.s.ter around the institute.
"I'll tour you around so wait for a while," Souta said as he patted Cl.u.s.ter's head.
"Yes, yes, Brother Bryan will also come with us." Cl.u.s.ter said with a happy expression.
"Bryan?" Souta looked at her and he rubbed his chin. "If I'm not wrong Bryan is one of the actors so I think it is impossible."
"Nope, nothing is impossible with me!" A loud voice interrupted him.
It was Bryan.
Souta looked at Bryan with a questioning gaze.
"You see, Souta. I can do anything I want as we will only perform twice this day. So I have a lot of spare time to do anything I wanted. Hahaha!" Bryan laughed loudly as both of his hands were resting on his waist.
"I see... So how many hours do you have before you the start of your play?" Souta nodded and asked him.
"Two hours from now, the class rep said it to me. But I have to go back early because we have a rehearsal." Bryan said to him.
"Okay, then let's go now," Souta said and he went to Lumilia saying that he will tour Cl.u.s.ter with Bryan.
"Um..."
Souta heard a small voice coming from his back. He turned his head and saw a girl with long purple hair.
It was Lynn.
"C-Can I join your group?" Lynn asked him as she kept fiddling her fingers.
"Hoho~ it seems that someone wanted to join the strongest group. Do you have what it takes to join us?" Bryan looked at Lynn and said.
"Eh...! Um..." Lynn didn't know how to answer Bryan's question.
'What the hell is this guy saying?' Souta thought as he shook his head and looked at Lynn.
He wasn't the only one who was embarrassed by Bryan's action, everyone from the Mage Class 1-B too. It's not a secret from everyone that Lynn has feelings for Souta. They didn't need to hear it from her mouth as they could clearly see it with their own eyes. Lynn's action and movement indicated that she has some sort of romantic feelings for Souta.
But this guy...
Bryan was an idiot one. He didn't even realize why Lynn wanted to accompany their group. Everyone could only sigh and thought that it was Bryan so they could expect it from him.
Souta opened his mouth and said to Lynn, "You can ignore that idiot. But I already promised Cl.u.s.ter that I'm going to accompany her today so if it's okay for her, you can come too."
He then looked at Cl.u.s.ter and patted her head. Cl.u.s.ter looked up at Souta and nodded her head.
Souta smiled and said, "It seems that Cl.u.s.ter is fine with you joining us."
"Really?" Lynn beamed a bright smile as she looked at Souta's face.
"Yeah." Souta nodded his head at her.
Lynn sighed in relief and she flashed a beautiful smile at him.
"Okay, you've passed, you can join us," Bryan said from the side.
...
Souta, Lynn, Cl.u.s.ter, and Bryan excited the classroom and they began to walk around. They visited every class to see if they did some interesting.
They walked around for an hour before they stop for a break. Cl.u.s.ter was sweating and panting so Souta decided to stop first.
"You're weak! Too weak, Cl.u.s.ter! But don't worry about it because Brother Bryan is here! I'll train you until you become a strong girl!" Bryan said in a loud voice while looking at Cl.u.s.ter.
"Stop it, Cl.u.s.ter is still too young!" Souta said to Bryan then he looked at Cl.u.s.ter. "Ignore this idiot. I'll bring you some water."
Cl.u.s.ter nodded his head at him. She sat on a chair and tried to catch her breath.
Souta then looked at Lynn and asked her, "How about you?"
"W-Water is fine," Lynn replied to him as she was surprised that Souta asked her.
"Apple juice for me," Bryan said even without Souta asking him.
Souta ignored him and he went towards the nearest store. He fall in line and waited until it was his turn. He looked at the store and found that it was built by Mage Class 1-A. He recalled those students that he met in the special test.
After a few minutes, it was Souta's turn.
"Good morning, sir. What's your orde-" The girl in front greeted him with a smile but it quickly turned into a shock when she saw that her customer was Souta. She was Ailene Carnain, the top 5 ranker of first-year students.
"Hello, I want four bottles of water." Souta waved his hand and said to her with a smile.
"Hurry up mom, they only have 5 pieces of spicy special barbeque." A voice of a little boy came from behind him.
Souta glanced at them before he looked at Ailene and said, "Also, I wanted all the spicy special barbeque you have here."
...
Souta received his order and turned around. He looked at the little boy with a smug expression.
'The vilest creature in the universe! You're the epitome of evil!'
He smirked as he heard a voice inside his head.
The little boy and his mom looked at Souta with a stunned expression.
