Chapter 48 (1/2)
Meeon of the Alche?”
After poking her head inside toquickly walked in Her voice hinted at soht that itrants I placed the docuh
”What is it this time?”
Noticing
”Sol keeps bragging about how you allowed her to train in a different way She's been tossing and catching coins in the air… such a show-off”
”There's nothing for her to show-off Also, is Sol really the type of person to show-off like that?
”I' coins…”
”She's practicing restraint ic like I told her to”
As I cut her off a disappointed expression floated onto her face Right when I was about to pick up the docu to herself
”You're soHyun and uys need to For beginners specializing in close range coh”
”But still…”
Despitestill started to whine like a child She was giving her than yours fro For a support user to be at that level iswon't be really beneficial to you”
Several days passed, and Sol had been the one to master the Sense skill the fastest out of the three Sol was able to fully utilize the enorht how by ht her before, she hadn't progressed as fast as she did under an to look atmy first battle, I achieved the title of ”Sword Master” while possessing only 45 points inSol to e mana level efficiently It was reasonable for the others to believe that I was favoring Sol as I was e see so fast Even after that one incident, Yoo-Jung would always co me for private lessons whenever I returned to the Inn I tried to reason with her in the beginning, but, as it happened so often, it quickly becae her o train your Sense Look at Sol She's been practicing really hard because of how motivated she is”
”Je-ez~! You're always coo rest a bit”
Wearing a dissatisfied expression, she sloalked forward and took a seat besideobservedon the table near her
”Ancient times…alchemy…revival, and…end? Soo-Hyun, what exactly is this?”
”There wasn't much in it You can just leave it anywhere”
After finishi+ng the document on ancient alche saw the several circles on the map then continued to question quietly
”What is this? And what are these circles?”
”Recording notes analyzing the map”
”I' these days”
Frustrated withraised her voice and whined I continued to talk while still focusing on thethe records It's inefficient to just kill the et a lead about a place by reading the old records on Mule in the past”
”I see…you can find this lead by reading these?”
”Winning the lottery would be more probable”
I had a bitter look on led in response There were stacks of docuht every docu at the laboratory
Even after I get a good idea, I would often look over the records again to get a better idea because of how much there actually was There was no way for iti every ritten on these pieces of paper could be seen as wasting ti I didn't even bother looking at the other docu at other potential discoveries; I was at least sure that there was both a laboratory and an alcheht to the Screa Cave
Tired, I continued to talk
”If it can be easily found, others would have chanced upon it much earlier I have no choice but to put inas her expression brightened She offered her help, which I readily accepted I already knehat to expect in fivestarted to stare atAn Sol, she made the excuse that she had to train and left With her personality, there was no way for her to endure this tedious chore
Seeing her leave made me smirk as I turned my attention back to the map
More time passed The once bare map was now filled with circles However, the circle in so is confirmed until I visit the location, but here at least were so that I was done, I leaned back deeply into the chair Looking out the , I found that it was already night I suddenly thought of the others, so I used Sense on i It see Thinking of how much they had improved, a smile appeared on my face
They met my expectations after a couple of days Their desire to leave the city was blatant, but thankfully they decided to listen to estion to train first
There was only one reason they were following h to believe that things ork out if they just listen tomy instructions, they hadn't experienced loss even up to this point
Even though they co, they still i Sense, but their mana and other attributes increased as well I was envious of Hyun raising two points in mana as a result, as well as his subsequent happiness
In the beginning, I had entered the acadeoal Even so, I was disappointed that
As it was an issue I currently had no solution to, I ignored it I started to think that ere getting about ready to foray outside the city, but there was still a last, relatively minute issue I had to iron out
That issue… was the group itself
As long as it was roup didn't reallyrequired a e combatants, but an archer and a priest were common necessities for each party
However, I wondered if it was truly a necessity right now We needed a priest, but we had Sol A ician wasn't crucial, and, if needed, I could act the archer and be the leader My Third Eye, coupled with the fact that I've poured so uaranteed that there was no chance of us getting lost
But… if the others got too accustoroup it could become a probleroup, I can't baby theh-leveled explorations This will be their first exploration so they'll learn a lot, but compliance will lead to issues in the future
Knock, knock
Soroup'soutside the door I whispered quietly
”Who is it?”
”It's me You already kneasfurther confirmation, the woman opened the door and entered the room Of course, I had known it was a woman, but it was hard to tell that it was the innkeeper To be honest, I wasn't sure why a skilled user such as her was staying in Mule
Her whereabouts were often unknown; the woman would disappear one day and reappear another In the end, when she appeared again in Hall Plain she became the enemy of the clan I was affiliated with
Her words to me then were still fresh in ht've followed her She was that char
There was a possibility that she was still unaffiliated with any clan as of now
