Chapter 223: Problems (2/2)

Yman fell silent but his mouth extended to both sides, forming into a slight smile. He then took something from his Cyber Storage.

Woosh!

”Puwahh!” A sudden huge breath.

”Mister! What did you do to me?!” Exclaimed the thing that came out from his Cyber Storage.

”Eh?!” It glanced around in puzzlement.

”Wait….. where are we?”

”Aren't we supposed to be in the forest?”

It was asking but no one was replying to it. Then the entity noticed a dumbfounded Oldman in front and a stunned lady on the side.

”Eh? Who are you, Oldman, and you too lady?”

The thing that he took from his Cyber Storage was the Wisp in scout bee form.

Ronnie and Cinde gawked in disbelief. This was the first time that they saw a talking bee! ”What a magical creature!” He cried out. Besides, it has different colors and it was shining in golden color!

”Apprentice, what is this magical thing?”

”A wisp.”

”W… wisp? Are you kidding me?!” Professor exclaimed and gazed at him.

Even Cinde was wondering if Crimson was joking to them.

The wisp on the other hand was darting his eyes from them. ”Oi, why are you ignoring me?” The Wisp asked them. But they were busy talking to themselves and had no time to answer.

”Ahaha…” Yman chuckled descendingly to the Professor's reaction while scratching the back of his head. He expected such a reaction from him. ”It was truly a wisp,” he added.

The Professor squinted his eyes and stared at him for a second. He noticed that he was serious. Cinde on the other hand was fixedly staring at the Wisp.

Yman then started explaining to them about the things that happened to the wisp before and after it became like that.

”I see, so that happened?”

”Eh….. so this thing was inside your fire doll?!” Cinde asked with a face that could not believe.

”Yes,” Yman was nodding his head to both of their questions.

”That was truly unbelievable. I think you are the type of person with the passive attribute of finding yourself meeting up extraordinary things in the world.” The Professor said but Yman took it as a joke. Cinde agreed to Professor Ronnie's words.

”Aside from that, what's the connection of it to your main reason for telling this secret to us?” Cinde asked him.

”Ah, that… same as the Wisp… those worms are also attracted to magical energy. And because of it, they would come down here from the mountain after the excess Heavenly Water in the cave would be emptied.”

Professor Ronnie and Cinde widened their eyes once again. They finally understood his reason.

In fact, even if Yman hid it from others, the issue would still be discovered sooner or later. Achan and her group just didn't see it coming. They probably believed that this issue would only remain in the mountains, but no. It just a matter of time that those worms started attacking this area when the mountain could not settle their hunger.

”Do you mean… they will start attacking people?”

Asked Professor Ronnie.

”Exactly.” He replied right away. ”Since Demihumans were gifted with high magical energy.

Professor Ronnie gulped. And then a bead of sweat appeared on his head. ”It is a big problem indeed if that's going to happen,” he muttered.

Yman nodded but he wasn't finished. ”In truth, teacher, not only the worms but also the other mutated beast will soon come to attack.”

”.....”

”.....”

”What! I thought you said that only the worms were the ones that were running amok on the mountain, Crimson?” Cinde was hasty with her question.

”Exactly, but there's a dark miasma that is currently proliferating around the mountain and it makes the non-hostile beasts hostile.”

”M… miasma?!” Professor Ronnie repeated.

”Right, teacher.”

Professor Ronnie stared at him for a couple of seconds before a sigh escaped from his mouth and said: ”We need to do something!”

”Alright, teacher.”

”Hey, Mister! Oldman! Lady! Why are you guys ignoring me?!” Shouted the Wisp.

Around this time that Yman was in the face of a new problem, many people in the academy were already known him, especially those people who were frequent in the Training Pavilion.

His name and the picture were being posted in the lobby together with his title and rank.

While he was facing a problem, another problem was developing. One of them was Czar and the other was known as Lord Gregor. These two individuals from the Mighty Solus department had started planning to bout him.

Apparently, not only them, but some of the influential figures in the academy also started to get interested in him.

Some even started to question his real identity, not only his face and name but also his background.
