Chapter 39：Getting ready for the mission... (1/2)

”Tsk, if only Lady Ice is here, she will kick their asses,” said the voiced one.

”Right, but it was already had been 3 months after she went into seclusion and didn't return yet,” replied by someone.

”Do you think, her advancement had failed?” Asked the former voice.

”No way, that's impossible!” Exclaimed the later voice.

”Right. As talented as her, there is no way for her to fail her advancement,” the former voice agreed.

”Yeah. But unfortunately, she's not here. Now we can't even accomplish our quest. Those fuckers from the other academies won't give as breathing even in our own hunting grounds,” the later added with a lack of enthusiasm.

Some of the loafers inside the barracks were conversing about someone and something in bitterness, which caught in Yman's ears. Their voices have a lack of vigor. He really was wondering if why the atmosphere inside the barracks was kinda gloomy.

He wanted to ask the clerk man. But he decided not since they were seemed to be busy at the moment, and other fledgling trainees had started to arrive one after another.

Bob said goodbye to Yman and Chloe after they exited the barracks, which they understood. They already knew that Bob's CE was at the peak. He needed to seclude himself for meditation while absorbing the MM.

”Ummmp!” Yman stretches his hand higher. If not because of his healing magic, for certain, his body would be aching all over now from those hell-like training. Although he felt like his strength, stamina, and speed had increased a little.

Yman and Chloe walked on the street with their deities.

Even though the place was a city but it seemed not so bustling with people.

”Yman, what do you think is the reason for those weird atmosphere inside the barracks?” Chloe who was walking beside suddenly asked him.

Lately, Chloe was able to converse with him casually, which made him happy about it. It also helps to get rid of the awkward atmosphere between them whenever they were side by side just like now.

Yman side-glanced at her before opening his mouth. He noticed the doubt and worry that was written on her face, ”Hmm... I'm not too sure. I also was wondering, maybe something had happened? (sigh)” He said with a furrowed brows, then he followed his words with an uncertain question before he sighed.

Two days of consecutive training already bullying his fatigue. Now he could feel his body started to turn sluggish. He wanted to take a bath and fall asleep at the moment. But he could only wait until he returned to his apartment. And also, he was worried about his sister being alone at the moment.

After hearing his reply, Chloe also glanced at him. Then opened her mouth.

”Mhm, it seems like that. R-Regardless, what you are planning to do with your quest?” She nodded and asked him about his mission.

She really wasn't expecting for Yman to acquire such a quest. After all, rats were a very hated pest. They were gross and scary. Yeah, they have fluffy fur, but they were not cute to pet.
