10 minutes ago at the start of Kuroko’s confrontation, sitting in his office in the largest cathedral of the human goddess Mono, within the capital of Elunia, was the Pope.
An elderly man who works for his faith with the greatest pleasure, and would do his best for his faith.
This man has lived many years out fighting as well as within the cathedral and several times he has been graced by having revelations by his goddess. During this time he feels the great power of the gods and has the feeling of this power etched into his soul. Because of this he can easily feel the two greatest holy artifacts his Goddess has blessed her followers. First it was one of the five Holy grail’s which is a god rank artifact created by the gods themselves and its purpose is to produce holy water which is used for undoing great curses on people and purifying the land.
The other great artifact sits behind the main pedestal within the sermon hall. This artifact was a pure white staff with a bright yellow gem attached to its tip. This plain looking staff is a holy artifact only the pope himself is allowed to touch and only during times of crisis when its power is needed. The staff, like the other weapon artifacts of the other four great churches, all amplify the power of the wielder but only one person can touch it. Anyone else that does will be cursed.
Being the person that can touch the Holy staff is the main reason the pope can easily feel holy power in his proximity which is why when he felt the sudden appearance of a third item just outside the city which even made his body froze. The feeling stayed there for a few seconds and just vanished.
His body stiffened and his hands grew sweaty.
“By the goddess! Someone holds a holy artifact!” He said in a rough voice as his eyes flew to the direction the feeling came from. The next moment his eyes went to the small statue of his goddess while he swallowed hard.
He cupped his hands and prayed hard for his goddess to answer his prayers and thankfully it was. His old spirit felt the goddesses power overflow and opening his eyes he saw a gray room and world around him and standing in the middle of the room was the Human goddess Mono.
“My child, what made you pray with such a troubled mind that I must come and console you?” The beautiful goddess asked while swiping her silky hair back.
“My goddess, I do not know how but I felt a holy artifact within the proximity of the city! I do not know if I should obtain it for your church or leave it be.” The elder man says.
The goddess remains quiet for a moment and then looks towards the same direction I looked. She let out a light sigh and turned back.
“The artifact has nothing to do with my faith. It will do us no good as it will never accept those here. The artifact is a holy wand made by Monville’s goddess, Karie.” She explains.
“May I ask why such an item is here and not within the confines of her churches’ cathedral?” The pope asked.
…
There was a tense moment of silence as the goddess thought.
“The wand was lost when the original royal family was dethroned. That family was direct descendants of the first royal family and the wand accepted only the blessed prince or princess instead of the pope. They were High humans and followed the fairy goddess since many had fairy heritage but when the new royal family took over the main bulk of the fairy population vanished and the church of the fairy goddess lost its power and my own church predominates in Monville as you should already know.” she says.
The pope nodded knowing full well that the human's church is the largest in both kingdoms.
“So… the descendant of the royal family possesses the wand is here?” He asked which was replied with a nod by the goddess.
“Keep this quiet and do not tell a soul! Unlike myself and you, not all humans… are so kind.” She says with a short pause.
He knew full well of human nature, their dark nature. The current Royal family won’t stay quiet if they learn about the child's existence.
“It’s a shame they might already know that she possesses Karie’s blessing.” Mono says with a deep sigh. She goes on to explain the incident at the academy which leaves the pope red with rage but he goes pale when he hears how it was resolved and what kind of punishment the players are currently facing.
“Keep the knowledge of the artifact quiet and tell all those you know who are just as sensitive to its power the same thing.” She tells him which he bows to.
When he lifted from his bow the world had regained its color and he was back in the position of prayer he had first assumed.
“I had better locate the others, especially Scar who might act rashly.” The pope thought and quickly got off his seat and walked out to accomplish his task.
Kuroko’s PoV
Right now we were walking into the tamer guild’s basement. Like always it was a room made to stop magic from exiting the walls.
Inside the room were the many breeders and tamers who lived their lives researching the conditions of rank ups as well as breeding monsters commissioned by the nation.
Many who see us enter wave to us because we, obviously, were the two most well known people of this branch of the guild.
“So, let's see what happened to that little wand of yours.” Megumi says as we find a seat in an area clear of large numbers of people.
I pull the wand out and we both identify it making the information appear.
Nature Princess’ Wand (Form 2/5)
The Holy Wand of the Goddess of Fairies. Created by the Goddess Herself for Her most beloved and blessed child, this wand will only accept its one true owner or its creator. Anyone who so much as touches it with intent to steal it will be inflicted with a holy curse only the Goddess Herself can remove.
The wand is made of an ancient holy oak which has been processed with divine water, which left it perfectly white and smooth. The crystal on the top is a single crystallized drop of the Fairy Goddess’ Mana.
Owner: Kuroko Ginshiro
Powers:
Nature Wand: A wand that is the embodiment of Nature magic. When in this form, all elemental magic is amplified by 2.5 times its original power. Earth magic has an additional effect of which vines with thorns further increase its power. When casting a true spell of the nature system with this nature type wand, the power of the spell is amplified by 5 times its original power. As your affinity to nature grows, the power of the wand shall increase further.
Magic Wand: Given the shape, it will act as the wand for its owner when she uses magic. Which amplifies the power of the spells cast through this magic type of wand by 1.5 times.
Tamer’s Wand: Being the friend of the wild allows you to skillfully lead animals and monsters with this wand just as if you are a conductor in an orchestra. Through your great affinity to nature itself, when leading monsters and animals you can empower those who follow your orders, and with each successive order they will temporarily grow more powerful to accomplish the request.
“…Wow...this is really overpowered.” I thought while blinking.
I looked up and saw Megumi who was sweating buckets and was pale as a ghost.
Come to think of it, didn’t she try to grab it once? Or was it just me putting it away. Who knows but she is really worried now.
“M-megumi?! A-are you alright?” I asked, worried more about her.
“Y-ye-yeah! Heheheh! Of course! Yeah I’m alright! All that happened was that I am seeing a Holy artifact grow stronger before my eyes and my mind was just making imaginations of you being drawn into hundreds of political and religious problems but no biggy! Put that in the back of your inventory and NEVER take it out!” She said and blinked a bit while sweating a lot.
I put it away and pulled a canteen of calming tea, with herbal slime extract inside.
She completely emptied the canteen and breathed deep a lot for a while and thought for quite some time about my situation.
After a bit she looked my way.
“Please be careful with that thing. The description says only you can touch it pretty much but there WILL be others who would want a child with such a weapon as theirs.” She says.
I had already guessed as much. A holy weapon is a huge thing and it can mean the rise and fall of a church if used carelessly.
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t use it unless it was a crisis situation.” I tell her, making her calm down.
“Alright, that makes me feel relieved, I guess I can trust my baby sister’s judgment on what is a crisis since you saw one with your own eyes huh? Now let's go up and see if we can’t get a few requests. You still have three weeks before you return to the academy, it's plenty of time to help out here.” She says and we leave the basement.
As soon as we enter the main lobby we see something surprising.
Dalton was standing there with Rio in front of a group of five elite Royal guards who were speaking with them.
We both approach them and with a bow towards the guards as we arrive we ask what was going on.
“What’s going on?” Megumi was the one that asked first.
“I am one of the king’s royal guards, and by his request, I have come with a message for a child by the name of…” He pauses and pulls out a piece of paper. “Ah yes, Kuroko Melody Ginshiro. The king and the Crowned prince Asher requests that you come for an audience.”
“Asher wants to see me? Maybe he is worried since I fainted.” I thought. “I’m Kuroko, is it okay to come later after I put on something better for an audience with the king?” I ask.
The five guards started chuckling when I asked that.
“Just like Prince Asher said, a child with a mentality far beyond her years. He said to look for a silver haired girl who would undoubtedly ask for something only adults would ask for like time to get ready. Anyway, you don’t need it, you are a friend of the prince and from the looks of your current attire it's more than enough.” He said.
The dress was a sleeveless dress, the same one I used to go outside and it had just a bit of dust which with a few pats would fly right off.
“Can someone come with me?” I ask.
“Of course, we don’t expect a girl below 10 years old to be able to teleport by herself.” He says.
This makes me tilt my head confused and look at him with a slight frown which confuses him and makes him look at the others in my family.
“Ah! You never told her how that skill is obtained, did you?” The guard asked.
“I will tell her later don’t worry about it!” Megumi said, which makes the guard nod.
He then gestures to the door.
“Shall we go?” He asks and Megumi nods and picks me up.
“I’ll go.” Was all she said to our parents before we left and teleported to the castle.
King’s PoV
Within the great castle on the northern part of Elunia’s capital was the castle of the nation.
Unlike other parts of the city, the castle has its own walls around it which is also enchanted with magic to prevent others from teleporting anywhere else besides to the gates of the castle. The massive white stone century old castle has been around since the founding of the kingdom. The castle was a huge structure built like a storybook castle. Four large towers on all sides with the main building in the middle that went up about 9 floors. The towers were around 12 floors and each held a part of the protection spell for the castle.
Looking out of the balcony on the Third floor where the throne room was located was the king and his crowned prince Asher.
Asher had an excited look after hearing that Kuroko had finally recovered and his father, having heard of Kuroko from his excited son, wished to meet the young girl that had charmed his boy to such an extent.
The king’s full name was Edward Maximus Calder Bryton, the current ruler of Elunia and the previous generation’s Blessed child of the human goddess Mono.
He was in his mid thirties but even then he still looked young, and he also held the aura of dominance a king should have.
He looked similar to his son. With the same Dark blue hair and deep navy blue eyes his son has, he was 187 cm tall and dressed in clothes that made him look like a knight but instead of the standard heavy plating armor, the king wore light armor.
He wore metal chest and leg pieces that looked like armor and below were normal attire of a noble. Attached to his shoulder was a long cape that gave him more grace and made him an intimidating man.
Both the king and prince were looking down at the castle’s gates.
As the two massive metal doors open, it reveals the guards that were sent off to send the message to the Tamer guild’s guild master which is also the adoptive father of Kuroko. Behind them was a young woman and holding her hand was a child the same age as the king’s son.
From far the sharp eagle-like vision of the king seems to zoom in on the child taking in any detail he can to figure out the child before she even so much as spoke a word to him.
“AH! There she is father! The silver haired girl is Kuroko!” Asher says, pointing down and pulling the cape of his father.
“Heh, I can tell son, there aren’t many people you will find with natural silver hair like that. Come on, get in your place and act like a proper prince when receiving guests. And remember what I said, not a peep from you while I speak with her, understood?!” The king says, receiving a nod from his son.
The two return inside. The room was a large chamber filled with many paintings of the previous royal families and many expensive statues and furniture which was placed there to show the riches of the royal family to those coming for an audience with the king. Unlike normal, only the king and Asher were in the room, which usually held other nobles and high ranking members as well. Not even the king's own ministers were here as this was one of the most private calls the king has made. It was to test the child that has gotten close to his son. He wanted to see if she wasn’t just after his son for his riches.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
The king sits on the large throne and on his left was the seat of the queen and on his right was a smaller throne made for Asher the crowned prince.
After some time there were three loud knocks which meant the guests were here.
The doors opened and a scribe walked in and announced the guest.
“Your highness! I present to you the two daughters of the Tamer guild’s Guild master Dalton Halt. The Elder daughter, Megumi Melody, and with her, the youngest daughter Kuroko Melody Ginshiro!” The scribe said, making his voice echo.
The two girls walk in and stop 10 meters away and bow towards us. The younger one seems to accomplish it better and the older one seems nervous which is a normal reaction when meeting the king.
I look at both and wondering how much pressure they can take, I exert my killing intent dropping a pressure over the two girls.
The older one instantly pales and sweat forms on her forehead but I was surprised when I felt the mana of the child move around and cover her body effectively protecting her. I focus on her and increase the power and completely break through making her fall on all four.
It was then that I felt a stabbing stare from my son as he pointed the same kind of killing intent I was releasing towards me.
I smile wryly and restrain my killing intent again.
“You may rise.” I say nonchalantly. “I must apologize but I felt curious as to how much you could hold up when I exert myself.”
Neither of them reacted immediately but the younger one got up first while trying to keep herself composed while her hands and legs were shaking considerably.
“N-n-no o-offense t-taken y-your highness.” she says with a shaky voice.
I raised my eyebrow seeing how strong willed the child was. The other one was shaking but I think the killing intent was affecting her more than the child.
I let them calm down a bit before I begin.
“So, I have heard many great things from my son about you child, but as a king it does make me ask if there is no hidden agenda.” I say bluntly. “Tell me, why did you approach my son?”
“With all due respect, I never approached your son, your highness. I met him during the entrance ceremony of the academy as we were placed next to each other.” She replied.
I nodded, already knowing this part.
“What is your interest in my son?” I said.
“FATHER!” Asher shouted beet red.
The girl turned bright red as well, probably knowing what I meant which only very intelligent kids would know.
“I don’t really feel that way about the prince or any of the other princes and princesses of the other royal families. They are all good friends and we spend lots of time playing, studying and training together.” She replies.
“So if I ask if you would marry my son what would you-” I start saying.
“FATHER!” My son shouted, but one look his way and he shrinks back.
“As I was saying, if I ask you to marry my son when you come of age after graduation what would your answer be?” I ask.
“I mean no disrespect but I have no interest in that. First I want to just enjoy my time at the academy with my friends. After I leave I want to explore the world and adventure as I like. I also do not want to become a simple political piece.” She says which makes my eye twitch as she unexpectedly says that part as well.
“So you have no interest in getting married at all?” I ask.
“Well, I am too young to be interested in that. Though I do want to make my own family so saying I wasn’t interested is a lie, but I am only eight years old your highness. I have many years ahead to think of that.” She replies leaving the room in silence.
I look at her and then at the older girl and start chuckling.
“I feel like I am talking to one of my daughters.” I muttered with a sigh.
“Excuse me, your highness?” the girl said confused while looking straight into my eyes.
“No, this girl is much MUCH more mature than my daughters.” I thought. “Well you do not wish to marry the prince and become the future queen so would you like to become one of the court wizards once you graduate. I hear you are quite promising to a degree of possibly surpassing princess stephanie.” I ask.
“Your words are kind but I do not know if I am better than her, your highness. She focuses more time in magic than what I did, because of how I spend time training my physical condition to not allow my body to remain too weak.” She says. “It would also be a waste for someone without experience to be in such a high position where someone who really deserves it would be left out.”
It was amazing that I was speaking with a child. My eyes turn to the side and I remember the girl bringing the pink mimic for my daughter who was the same age.
“You are trying to be a tamer like your older sister?” I ask her.
“Well, the class tamer I probably won’t get. It might be something more nature related with all the skills increasing my affinity to it.” She replies, making me intrigued.
“Well, I could offer you the post of breeder here but I bet you would deny that as well… I really have nothing else I could offer a child or a future prospect until the future arrives. So the only thing I can do is this.” I say and look at my son. “Asher, when you both return to the Academy, protect her from the political vultures that will probably go after her for the blessing she holds. She is the only one with a blessing that isn’t a part of the Royal family so there will be those who want to marry her or even kidnap her.”
“Don’t worry, I was already planning on getting all the others to help out as well. Kuroko is our friend and we won’t let her get dragged into something like that!” Asher says with a big grin.
“Um… your highness, if I may?” The girl called out, drawing my attention.
“Yes, you may speak.” I said curiously.
“I mean no offense but I am very sure that with the added blessing and the new racial traits I gained as a result of all that happened, I am probably the strongest of my year now and it should be me protecting the prince instead.” She says innocently.
I saw Asher frown but I was sure it was from being called prince instead of by his name.
Still I was dumbstruck. She said that right to us both with a clean face. Even the nobles’ children had at least a basic idea of how to act. After a moment I started chuckling and soon it burst into a laugh that echoed in the throne room.
I hold my sides laughing. It’s been a while since I met such an interesting person, not to mention someone that could entertain me to such an extent.
Asher looked at me wide eyed while I laughed and when I calmed down I looked at the two confused girls with a smile.
“You truly are a strange girl. If you were from any other nobles family I would say you were an amazing actor but knowing personally who is part of your family and those who work for you I can very easily see that you are a rare, pure, and truly good at heart child, and I wish for you to continue being friends to my son.” I say with a smile.
The girl bows with a gentle smile and I could see a smile on Asher’s face as I gave him my approval of his friend. Still, I feel like teasing them and I, unlike the child, the other sister has made quite a name for herself and the word of her drake playing with those players was music to my ears hearing it.
“Since I can trust you I will give you this badge. If you show this to the guards at the castle gate they will let you in and if you show it to the maids they will show you to Asher.” I say and get up. I open my inventory and remove a small badge with the crest of the royal family which is given only to trusted advisors and guests.
“Thank you for your generous offer, your highness. It would be fun to come and visit Asher and even study or play when we are not in the academy.” She says.
A mischievous grin appears on my face hearing her accept the badge.
“Good, though you may not be interested in my son now. At least I can hope for the future.” I said.
“FATHER!!” Asher shouted with his face bright red.
The child also became bright red and the small wing ears which show her as a rare High human was also fluttering a small bit as she tried to keep her composure.
“Now, Miss Melody.” I say and turn my attention to the girl who was next to the girl.
“Yes, your highness?” She said while tensing up.
“I was wondering if you would accept one of the posts as breeders here in the castle. It would be useful for someone who has such talent in breeding creatures to help bring out the power of the royal families’ dungeon creatures.” I say.
“I…” She started saying and froze up.
I could more or less guess what she wanted to say. The normal age range someone lives as an adventure was between 16-28. This is mostly during their prime and those who continue on find their path as adventurers or live by the sword while others discover their true purpose during their journey.
“I do not expect you to choose at this moment. You are still young and I understand that. Should you decide to take up as a tamer or breeder like your father, the offer is open.” I tell her which makes her face brighten up.
Only a fool would let a talent run away. Though I will not get her services at this moment, with the offer open there is always a chance. The best part is that like the young sister, she is friends with my daughter. I wonder if this family has some sort of fate. The father is my childhood friend, my daughter and son as well. This family is definitely the most favored by me.
With the main conversation finished I allow them to go. Asher wanted to play so taking both of them off somewhere they left the audience hall towards some place in the castle.
I sat there for a moment before I looked to the side.
“Come out! It’s not a healthy habit to spy on the king!” I said in a loud voice.
The chuckling of an old man echoed in the hall before an elderly man in a long white robe appeared.
“So what can I do for you Pope?” I said, looking expressionless at the old man who invaded his home
“My my, what a cold tone your highness. Anyway I just came to check on the final blessed child that has been gone for generations.” He said with a chuckle. “Tell me, you sensed it right? A few hours ago?”
I looked at him, serious now. So this was why he came here. “You're talking about the feeling of the holy artifact, the third one?” I asked.
“Precisely, I asked advice from the goddess and she showed up in corporal form before me and told me to keep the knowledge of that artifact being here as tightly sealed as possible.” He said and looked straight into my eyes.
“The girl has it doesn’t she?” I asked which was replied with a nod.
“Goddess Mono has said to leave her be. The wand is useless to us but we must also protect the child from predators who might wish to kidnap her for the wand.” The pope said.
“I already planned on investing in the academy's security after what happened. With a large number of the dragons population gone, the academy is unsafe now. So things will be even worse with this bit of information.” I say frowning.
“I would suggest not investing so much more in it. It would arouse suspicion. If you do anything I would suggest either you hire elite trained men and speak with the headmaster to add them to the staff or have them among the academy town population.” He say.
I nod listening to the suggestions. Though normally the church and the nation don’t fraternize greatly due to friction between politics and religion, the only time we do speak in accord is for the safety of the next generation of blessed children. The girl herself is already an anomaly which would cause many problems to surface and I'm sure Monville’s royal family will make a move using the children enrolled. I just hope it doesn’t go badly, this will be a topic that treads on extremely thin ice and its thinnest under Kuroko. I just hope when it breaks we are all ready for it.
I thank the pope for the advice and promise to remain quiet. He leaves as he arrives and says he has others he must inform so that nothing stupid is done without the warning.
I nod and wholeheartedly agree knowing exactly who he was speaking of.
With the pope gone I stand up and leave the hall as well and proceed to do the duties of the king to run the nation.
Kuroko PoV
“WOW THIS IS AWESOME!” Asher said as he looked at me.
The reason is because we were outside and was showing him my wings and using a bit of wind magic to push wind down strong enough to help me fly but I was having a lot of trouble because the wings were small and the winds I produced were too weak so I was also using my hands to blow wind to keep me stable enough to not land on my face.
Several guards and maids were watching but soon I gave up and ‘landed’ as best as I could.
“Ouch… that landing I need to really work on.” I said in a monotone voice.
“That was really cool, normally it takes really talented wind mages like Kumi to be able to fly at such a young age.” Asher says truly amazed.
“The wings sure do help in that aspect for sure but you really need to start with gliding first and slowly work up your wing’s strength before you can think of flying.” Megumi said
“Ahh~~! It would be cool to fly though…” I said sulking.
“Don’t worry, it will come with time. But still you should train more with magic now. All those racial skills and traits point you to that way.” Asher said.
“Yeah, I will have to talk with Belladona to focus the training more on magic enhancement training. I doubt she will stop so I think just changing the focus to close quarters magic fighting is enough I guess.” I said with a sigh.
“She knows what she is doing so if a big change happens she adapts properly.” Megumi says.
I get up and dust off as I let my wings vanish and stop feeding them mana.
“Still, someone changing race is a really rare thing for someone who isn’t a monster race. Besides werewolves and vampires, I never read or heard of any other race that did that.” Asher says.
“Well the skills say something about the goddess awakening it but I don’t get it. I blacked out when I woke up in my home.” I explained.
“Ah! So you don’t know then. Well it’s like this, when the players were about to swing their swords you suddenly started glowing and a huge shockwave came from you and slammed into all the players throwing them and injuring them. You stood up and your violet eyes became silver so we knew it was a goddess because that is a universal characteristic they have. She told all the players some stuff about laws of some kind and then activated a massive blast of god level magic which wiped all them out and healed all injured and revived anyone who had died during that.” Asher explains.
“Well… thank you, kind of… explains why I felt so weak and why I changed race.” I said, which made them both tilt their heads in confusion. “You don’t get it?”
They both shook their heads, still confused.
“I think it might be that so much of the goddesses' mana passed through my body at the time that it concentrated the mana in my body and made my ancestors’ blood stronger.” I explained.
They both looked shocked but after thinking it over that was possible. Fairies were magical beings so a half breed like high humans that have thinned blood lose the main traits of their race but a massive surge of mana in their body can very well strengthen that part of the genes and activate them.
“I wonder if it can get stronger?” Asher said.
I was wondering that as well if there were more stages to it, but I wouldn’t know since this kingdom didn’t have high humans I think, and if there even any, they must’ve been too thinned out to even know of the fact.
“Well, unless I find a greater fairy and speak with her I will never know.” I said with a shrug.
With me saying that we end the magic testing session, and go do something else.
Like I might have guessed, soon Asher had some form of class or study to do so we left to allow him to study. He wore a face that was asking for help but I could only shrug with a wry smile.
He sighed and went off while we asked a nearby maid to help us reach the gate.
It didn’t take long and we were finally out and teleported back home.
“Now then. Mind explaining the teleportation spell.” I said.
“Hey look we are home you should get doing your homework or stu- OUCH!” Megumi shouted as I made sure to land a very nice strong punch on her head.
“Teleport skill… Explain now!” I said looking right into her eyes while holding her head so she wouldn’t look away.
“If you don’t tell me, I will ignore you until the day I die!”
“NO! MY LITTLE SISTER IGNORING ME! THAT IS TOO MUCH!” She shouted but I let her go and started walking away.
“W-WAIT!” She said and I looked back.
“I… I will explain it inside!” She said.
I smile and grab her hand dragging her in and up to Dalton's place just under his office.
“You may begin.” I said with a smile.
“Fine… let’s see.” Megumi says, sighing deeply.
She thought for a while before she began.
“Ok teleportation spell is rather simple to get. The skill you saw, you can move around within the city as long as you have gone to that place or a place nearby. The way you get it is…” She sighed while massaging her heard. “When you reach 10 years old and get your class.”
The moment she looked into space before sulking.
“Damnit, 2 months of stats penalties.” She muttered.
“Um...what happened?” I asked.
“Someone outside of the academy can’t tell you that. If we do, we get a penalty on stats for a period of time.” She says.
“Then why didn’t you tell me that bit of info and I would have let the topic drop.” I tell her making her facepalm at her own mistake.
I don’t pry further in case it causes the penalties to become worse. Instead we go down and start looking for taming and breeding requests.
We form a two man party and take requests that can be accomplished in less then a month. It was mainly to breed or capture a monster of a certain species.
We take up a simple one from Dalton to try and make some new slime types.
It is fun to do since we have time. We look through the slime encyclopedia we made long ago making sure to check all the types. I pull out my magic journal and open up to the mimic area and with this being the original book as well as a magic book itself I transfer all the new types of slimes making sure to note how many were put in. Then I take a look at several slime types and choose each of them.
I was going to see if I can’t advance the rank further past the first rank up. Me and Megumi spent the time we had working on this. Most of the time we do other things like alchemy and herbology working out medicines and stuff since we tried to make many kinds of medical slimes. Slime medicine was quite useful and my body received it better than medical stuff made from chemicals.
When the month long break was finally over I was finally returning to school which made me both happy and sad since I would leave again but I needed to go. I used the transport car like before again, carrying no luggage since what we needed was already there. I say goodbye and head back to the car to start the trip.
The next time I see my family is on my birthday which is at the end of the year.
Real world - 3rd PoV
Over the last week, things have become rather unstable in the real world . Due to the problem that occurred during the academy incident, tension between the AI and the real world governments has been high. It's even worse when many extremists are infiltrated into the government.
After being dragged out of the trial for the AI after throwing objects at her. The first man that was removed returned home.
The agreement was struck without him and by the time he was home his son's body was already inside the capsule. Intense rage boiled inside him as he saw his son in this state but at least he had the comfort to know he was going to have his son back.
"I will get those infernal machines back. The first one though is the bitch that did this. She said her body was a clone of someone in the game so I will start by killing the fucking bitch after a torture session to teach those abominations their place!" He spat to himself.
He entered the game forums and made a post, [Searching for the NPC that has the same look as the AI on trail.]
He posted that link and then closed the pc before picking up the phone and ordering a capsule. He hated having to enter a filthy place like the home of those trash but he was going to take the pleasure of killing the brat himself. He needed to train first so that he could handle her and build a guild specifically trained for wiping out the world.
