Chapter 173: A summons from the headmaster (2/2)
However, after watching the Professor working, Yman and Sistela found out that it wasn't an easy task to learn Alchemy. They needed to study and remember all the steps.
Seeing the professor working, Yman couldn't help but admire him.
But he trusted his partner. He believed that Sistela could do it. He would do everything to heal his sister.
Before that, he needed to contact his Sister. He missed her. It was already long enough since last he heard her voice. Looks like he needed to buy a new MTMD.
The next morning, Yman and Rea together with Sistela rode on the gigantic Hell Chaser Bird early in the morning.
”Rea, do you know the reason why the headmaster wanted to summon me?” Yman asked the girl who was sitting beside him.
”I don't know. But it must be important. Why don't you have a communication device?”
”I used to have one, but it was unexpectedly broke at my arrival here in the Empire.”
She wondered if he was the type of person who didn't give importance to his property.
Perhaps he was also the type of man who can't handle a relationship. Or not giving importance to his girlfriend.
Poof!
Steam appeared on top of her head with her thought starting to wander away from the main topic.
”Are you sick?” He asked upon noticing that her face was slightly red.
”No no…”
”No?”
”I mean I'm fine!” She yelled.
”.....”
He wondered why this girl started to act awkward.
Several minutes later, the huge Hell Chaser Bird landed in front of the guildhall.
The people around looked at it and on the people riding on it. It was an eye-catching bird because of its size.
Yman had to catch Rea because of its height.
But for some reason, she jumped away from him.
”!!”
'Well, she was an expert as well and had a leveled-up body. So the concern was unnecessary for her,' he thought. But he was puzzled because it was the first time that she refused him to catch her. He guessed that she felt embarrassed because many people were watching them.
Well, he didn't mind it.
They then proceed inside.
As always, inside the guildhall, many adventurers were loitering around. Some were checking the mission tab. Some were talking with friends.
When they saw the people who just entered.
”It was Crimson and the Headmaster's niece.”
”Wait, wasn't Crimson joined the competition?”
”Yeah! But he suddenly disappeared after the first elimination round.”
”I thought he was defeated.”
”No! No one can defeat him!”
”There are gossips that he got a huge reward after the first elimination round and decided to quit the next round.”
”Really?”
”That's what I heard in the pub.”
”In any case, I still could not believe that Miss Ella was then headmaster's niece.”
”But damn! Crimson is too lucky! He was able to befriend her!”
”I heard something also!”
”What? Wait, cover your underarms man!”
”Smell it, brother!”
”In any case, what did you hear?”
”That Crimson was promoted to a Gold Rank adventurer!”
”Really?”
”Yes!”
”Wait! Wasn't he a newbie?”
”The newbie thing is just shit! What matter is he can beat-up into pulp the 5 Silver-Rank Adventurers!”
”He even beat a Golden Rank adventurer!”
”Really?”
”What do you think of me! A liar!”
Adventurers started to whisper to the people beside them.
”Nevertheless, I'm so jealous of Crimson for being able to stand beside a goddess Miss Ella!”
