23 Bailing and Finding A New Purpose!? (1/2)
Prima pointed out the various flaws in Jacob's techniques and once he was worn down enough chopped him on top of the head, knocking him out of the fight. The rest of her students finished up their sparring and Prima released them for the rest of the day, but not before reminding them once again that tomorrow will be very tough and to get a good night's rest. After they all left except for one, Thalamus.
”Ah yes Thalamus?” She asked.
”I finished the books. I need materials now.” He said while avoiding eye contact with her.
She smiled.
”Well go get them. They are in the forest.”
He was about to say something rude but quickly shut himself up. Prima knew that Thalamus needed her knowledge to better his life and treating her wrongly was not one way to do that. During the first couple of days of being rude to her he realized that he was being treated much more intensely and had to work harder than his fellow students. By the fifth day, he apologized to her in private and received a hug from her. He blushed heavily at that moment but Prima never brought it up again.
”Will you accompany me teacher?”
”Nope. But you can take Tuff with you. He's real tough.” She joked while flexing her smooth, muscle less arms.”
”Thank you teacher…” He bowed and with Tuff hanging on his shoulders went off into the forest.
'I guess it's time to start giving this village some money. After we start receiving a stable amount of money, I need to start advertising! Can't have this village stay this tiny forever. I hope this plan works though. I don't even know if dirt can take in mana.'
Prima then went around the entire village filling everyone's soil to the brim with mana. She kept out of sight from the villagers while doing this so that they wouldn't ask her why she doesn't always do this or something similar. After finishing that task up, she had to wait to see the progress in a couple of days to see if it would even work. Prima returned home and sat on her bed thinking.
'It's kind of boring making a village… I mean when I came to this world I was thinking about the adventures, the fighting, the magic and more! But now I'm trying to create a kingdom? I don't know how the heck my train of thought derailed so quickly.' Prima thought before coming to a decision.
”Let's bounce Tuff!” She said while sitting up from her bed quickly.
Tuff jumped on her shoulders and wrapped his arms around her neck.
”Seems like your ready to go too huh buddy. But first I have to make sure this village doesn't fall to ruin because of my sudden disappearance. I'll go take care of that baron and then leave a clone here just for appearances sake. Although these people were nice and the kids were cute, I didn't feel that attached to them. I'm kind of strange huh Tuff?”
Tuff shook his head and Prima smiled.
”Let's get out of here.” Prima said before leaving an identical clone and teleporting herself out of the village on her way towards the Baron's city.
The two walked along the dark and boring road together and looked up into the beautiful clear night sky.
”I wonder if this world has different planets. I don't see any stars or anything..”
But then suddenly as the two were walking along the empty road, they saw a carriage racing down the road.
”GET OUT OF THE WAY! MOVE!!!” The driver shouted.
Prima was interested in what they were in such a rush about so instead of heeding the man's warnings, she stood directly in the path of the carriage.
”DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME!! I SAID GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!” He yelled anxiously.
Prima stood there looking as if she didn't hear a word he was saying and started whistling while looking elsewhere.
”YOU FOOL!” He cursed as he was forced to stop the horses.
Prima was surprised and didn't expect the man to actually stop the carriage.
”Hey what's the big rush friend?” She asked as if the situation wasn't dire.
”MY LADY HAS BEEN POISONED AND I'M ON THE WAY TO SEEK AID FOR HER! NOW PLEASE MOVE!” The young knight ordered.
”Let me take a look. I'm a healer you see.” She said while having a white glow over her hand.
He changed his attitude almost immediately and begged her to save his lady. He let her inside the carriage and she took a look at the sickly pale and nearly dead beautiful young girl. Prima saw that the skin above her heart turned purple and was slowly spreading over her skin.
'This fool could've gotten this girl killed. I showed him a little light magic and he let me in. He must be real desperate.'
Prima honestly didn't know the first thing about removing poison or what this poison even was but decided to do the only thing she knew. She placed her palm over the purple area and with her infinite mana started blasting healing magic into her entire system. The result seemed to have worked out in her favor because the purple poison was instantly evaporated and she looked perfectly healthy now.
*GASP*
The girl's eyes opened dramatically and she rose up quickly. She took heavy gulps of air before taking a look at her and her knight who was bowing his head towards Prima. Prima grinned.
”Too easy.” Prima said.
The previously nearly dead noble girl calmed herself and took on a serious look.
”I assume you are the one who saved my life?” She asked Prima.
”Yep.”
”What is it you wish as a reward for saving me?” She asked as if Prima automatically knew who she was and what kind of rewards she was capable of giving.
”Hehe.. I want…..”
*BOOM*
*BANG*
*SHO SHO SHO*
The carriage was suddenly under attack as magic blasts and arrows shot through, killing the young knight and injuring the young noble even more. A few arrows bounced off Prima's skin and she hurriedly grabbed the young noble lady and burst from the carriage, right into a magical circle. The magical circle glowed bright blue and a blue barrier formed around Prima, Tuff, and the girl. Multiple armored knights and staff wielding mages came from the surroundings and looked at them.
'What the heck did I just get myself into…' Prima said while smiling inwardly.
'Exciting….' She thought in her heart.
”We got the princess.” A mage who was wearing fancier robes than the other ones said.
”Good. Once we have her in our hands, we'll be able to eat like kings for the rest of our lives!” A hairy man with a scar on his face said.
The men laughed evilly as they looked at Prima and the girl over her shoulder.
”I just got this princess and you're already taking her from me?!” Prima yelled as if wronged.
The princess soon fell unconscious due to blood loss.
”Take the woman and sell her off as a slave.” The scarred man said as the mages started charging their staffs with mana.
”Not very responsive huh? Sorry to break the news guys, but this princess is in another castle for the time being. SEE YA!!!” Prima shouted while laughing before teleporting away in a random location.
Prima, Tuff, and the princess appeared high in the sky above a large town and Prima used her gravity magic to slowly float to the ground. She healed the princess while falling but it seems one of the many soldiers on the large stone wall saw her and began firing at her.
'Come on! Seriously?! Firing bolts at me just because I'm floating above your city!? If I wasn't trying to protect this girl I would definitely beat you all up in retaliation! But first I have to get to the bottom of this princess quest I just started.'
Prima teleported to the guys shooting at her with huge mounted crossbows and took them out with swift kicks. Torches then lit up all around the wall and inside the town.
”GIVE YOURSELF UP INTRUDER! RELEASE THE PRINCESS AND WE WON'T HARM YOU!” A voice shouted at her from below with magic.
She rubbed her head with her free hand and smiled.
'Becoming a fugitive of the kingdom sounds pretty fun. Even though I don't really know this girl, I know her life isn't turning out so well if she was escaping from the town she lived in. Eh. I'll get the whole story from her later. For now, let's have some fun in this town!' Prima decided as she told teleported Tuff and the princess elsewhere and hopping down towards the man who shouted at her earlier.
Prima smiled as the knights shot arrows at her and mages shot elemental magic through their staffs at her. Prima's heart started racing like a thundering drum for a festival. She landed on the ground unharmed and charged towards the group of magicians first, but before she could land a punch on the first one she hit a barrier in front of them.
”A barrier to protect the squishies. Smart, but not enough for this OP girl!” She pulled her fist back struck the barrier as hard as she could without infusing any mana in her hand.
*SHATTER*
The force of her attack blasted the mages away with wind and the knights began attacking her with their swords.
”GET HER! SHE'S JUST ONE WOMAN!”
Prima easily dodged the soldiers and continued to knock out the mages and any soldiers that blocked her way while laughing.
'Fun..! Fun..! Fun! More!' Prima thought as her Majin instincts began feeding into her mind.
A giant of a man stood in front of her as she was heading for the guy that looked like a noble. He stood in front of him and pulled out an equally as large sword.
”You won't be able to life a peaceful life anymore.” The large man said.
”Who said I was looking for a peaceful life in the first place? A nice chaotic life sounds kinda fun don't ya think?” Prima said while smiling.
