The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 98: Do it Seriously!

Chapter 98: Do it Seriously!

Ms. Wendy left first to get herself prepared. Meanwhile, I summoned Victoria.
"What's up, Roy? Any problem? And what's with your hair?"
"Image change. Actually…"
I told her about Angela breaking through her ice element magic and about how there are people who attacked those who were about to breakthrough.
"I see… so you want me to help you protect Angela?"
"Well, I want you to protect Red Tail. If the one who attacked Angela knew who she is, they will undoubtedly targeting everyone in Red Tail."
As I told Victoria my plan, Sonia appears again.
"Kayla said that she have transferred Daniel and the others to the guild for protection. The guild actually have done it a few times after the accident to protect friends and family of the ones who were about to breakthrough. The guild said that if you want, they can give us reinforcements. Those people who attacked are considered problem for everyone in this city."
Problem for everyone in this city? But what if those people are from this city?
But for the guild to help us… I knew that guild not only support registered hunters, but they also support everyone who worked hard in getting stronger. But I don't think I will readily accept their help in this situation where I don't know who is the traitor and member of the cult.
"Sonia. Tell Kayla to only bring people she trusted. If there are none, then don't bring anyone. Their reinforcement might be a burden to us."
"Okay."
Sonia left again to send the message to Kayla.
"Now everyone in Red Tail no longer needed our protection. What's next?"
"Join the battle obviously. How much longer will you be conscious?"
"Three hours at most."
"Do you want to join the battle or be my weapon?"
"I'll join the battle. Only when my time is up will Blobby be your weapon."
"Nice. Let's go!"
I thought of having Victoria to protect Daniel and the others, but now since the guild has make their move to go against those groups. Seems like there are already too many victims for the guild to keep them silent.
We just need to stall time for Angela to breakthrough. Kayla and Sophie should be able to manage few enemies. As for Ms. Wendy… she'll be fine even on her own
As we run to the gate, Victoria asked me something.
"Roy. Are we fighting the cult?"
"Probably."
"I want to ask, why do you think that cult decided to put explosive devices inside its members' mouth? What do you think the reason is?"
"Hmm? Isn't it just so they won't say anything in case they were caught?"
"But no one have ever known about their existence before us. Or is it just a gimmick that any evil organization has?"
"Probably. Now that I think about it, it was quite stupid of the cult to let their members have explosive devices in their mouth. Well, not really stupid since normal people can't see through their mouth. Thanks to it, I can see who is a member of the cult."
"Wild guess! I'm just guessing that hey probably told their members to kill themselves so they won't leak any secret."
"That's not a wild guess. Everyone who knows they have explosives inside the member's mouth would think the same way."
"Then what about you?"
My guess? I just thought about it now.
"They used to have poison inside their mouth. But once the new members enter the group, they haven't gotten used to having poison inside their mouth. So when they were celebrating themselves for entering the cult in a restaurant, all of them accidentally bite the poison inside their mouth. And so, many restaurant were accused for serving poison to their customers."
"That's one wild guess over there."
"Then one day, when the higher ups of the cult noticed that their members are decreasing instead of increasing, one of them who was an owner of a restaurant told the higher ups of the weakness of having poison inside their mouth. So they decided to have explosives instead that activated by magic."
"…what about the reason why they have poison in their mouth?"
"…so that they will kill themselves instead of leaking any secrets about the cult."
"That's just the same reason I said! You're only telling the reason why they have explosives instead of poison!"
"Oh! We're here!"
"Don't change the subject!"
Ignoring Victoria, we reached our destination. Only Ms. Wendy waiting there.
"You're here! Who's that with you?"
"My inseparable partner."
"Are you planning to fight wearing that wig?"
"I want to fight while looking fabulous at the same time."
We chatted until the other three arrived. There was no other people with them seems like Kron and the others were not there.
"Just you three?"
"Yes. Kron and the other party we get along with is not here to do some requests. Well, no one knows where Kron has disappeared to. And what's with that hair? Isn't that Mr. Wig's?"
Kayla answered and she asked me about the wig. Is this a trend to ask about my hair every time?
"It was. Before I came here, he proudly showing off his new ink head."
"Roy stole it from him while pulling a prank on that teacher." Ms. Wendy said.
"Then you don't have to wear it, right? Remove it!"
Ms. Wendy answered why I have the wig and Angela told me to remove the wig.
"No! I want to look fabulous with my new long silky smooth blond hair! Why do I smell something burnt?"
"Because I just burnt the tip of that wig."
"Fuck!"
I remove the wig quickly before the fire touched my skin… or my real hair. I threw it on the ground and stepped on it. Angela shouldn't burn things so easily like that. Is she trying to be an arson?
"Why can't I look fabulous while protecting you?!"
"Please be more serious about this! I just want to improve my level, but somehow I have to risk my life because someone is possibly trying to attack me?"
"Don't worry. With me nearby, there won't be anyone that can get past my guard."
"I understand that, but do it seriously!"
Seeing Angela convinced with my words, Ms. Wendy is confused.
"Aren't you all still just a beginner level mage? Including Roy? Why did you trust him so much?"
"His strength is beyond common sense." Kayla said.
"His personality is also beyond common sense." It was Sophie this time.
"His existence doesn't even make sense." Angela? What's that means?
"Everything about him is weird. That's what make him, Roy." Not everything about me is weird, Victoria.
Well, their comment about me aren't important.
"Ms. Wendy. Do you know a good place for Angela to breakthrough?"
"There's a shack on that mountain used to belong to an old friend. It was no longer used anymore. If we fought the attacker in a distance, the sound of battle won't reach that shack and Angela won't break her concentration."
"Alright. Victoria and I will lead the way. All of you don't need to use your magic and just keep your stamina for when the enemies come. We will rest for a while and Angela will start cultivating to breakthrough just before it gets dark. Once she started cultivating, the three of you will spread into three direction and protect Angela. Victoria and I will attack them from behind."
Everyone nodded after hearing my plan except for Ms. Wendy.
"Wait! Isn't it too crazy for a beginner level like you to do all of that?"
"It's not. It is even crazier if I didn't do all of them."
Not persuaded with my words, Angela tried to convince her.
"Ms. Wendy, just trust him."
"How can you put your trust in him so much?"
"Well… he's not the kind of man who breaks promises… probably. We trust him with our lives… probably." Angela explained.
Hearing the word 'probably', I dropped to the ground in tears.
"Why are you not sure?"
"One thing I'm sure of is that he's strong. That's the truth. After a few month being in a party with him, I know he's someone I can trust with my life."
So that's Angela's impression of me.
Feeling so trusted, I felt like crying.
"…if that's what you think, then let's do it with that plan."
"Wait, Ms. Wendy! I have something for you."
I threw a necklace at her.
"Tap it to call the ghost."
"The ghost?"
Ms. Wendy tapped the necklace and Sonia appears.
"Hello again, School Teacher!"
"It's you!"
I explained to Ms. Wendy about Sonia.
"During the battle, we might be separated too far. She will be our means of communication."
"This is convenience! Where can I find ghosts like Sonia?"
"…Sonia is a bit special, so even if you find another ghost, they won't be able to do what Sonia can do."
"I see… what a shame…"
I know what she thinks.
She must have thinking that having a long distance communication will make her real job as the kingdom's secret agent easier.
Now that I think about it, I just killed her boss back in the capital. Maybe Albert will soon call all secret agents back to the kingdom.
