54 Intelligence is the new Strength (2/2)
The elf merely nods in acknowledgment at Rarsu's advice.
\”Alright then,\” Rarsu said. \”Now that's finally out of the way, I suppose we can officially start with each of our respective businesses. But first...\”
The lizardling faces Selena and instructed her as he points the smashed bits and pieces of the table that was used in the arm-wrestling. \”Selena, be a dear and clean up the mess caused by your master and his cat-folk friend.\”
The Sentinel nods as she immediately complies and proceeded to pick up the wooden pieces of the furniture for disposal.
\”Now then Isamu.\” The druid sets his gaze at the cat-folk with a look of the utmost seriousness. \”I have a request of utmost importance for you that involves the safety of our elven Paragon and Silverhart itself. I want you to head on back to that Warrior guild organization of yours and tell Malic... and only Malic in person without any delay these exact words that came solely from me. 'The fateful arrival shall mark the beginning of despair's shadow'. If he has additional questions for you, then you are to answer with nothing but only the truth with the best of your knowledge, got it?\”
\”A simple task. Very well.\” Isamu agrees, seeing no harm in complying with such a request.
\”What with the cryptic phrase?\” Gray questions the druid.
\”It's the hidden words used throughout several generations in history that is passed between Silverhart's carefully selected higher-ups,\” Rarsu answers them. \”The ancient words are meant to announce the Paragon's presence discretely, so the leaders can make the necessary preparations and actions without causing panic to the whole public that terrible darkness will be unfolded to us all, and hopefully, uncover the scheme within the shadows so that we can immediately contain or eliminate it without things getting out of hand.\”
\”Higher-ups huh.\” The elf comments while crossing his arms. \”You speak as if you are one of them. Who are you really? I find it hard to believe that a mere Level 24 Mage is dangerously knowledgeable about these sorts of things.\”
\”Heh, you are more clever than I give you credit, my dear apprentice,\” Rarsu smirks with fascination, not even in denial. Suddenly, his status bar shifted as both Gray and Isamu's eyes widen with surprise.

'Holy shit!!' Gray yelled inside his mind at how ridiculously powerful his new master is.
\”The skill of is wonderful, is it not?\” Rarsu stated with a toothy grin. \”People tend to underestimate individuals who are significantly lower-leveled than them. The dumbfounded looks on their faces are absolutely a delight to see when they realize that they are about to bite more than they can chew, hahaha!!! As such, you two should take my advice at heart and try to remain inconspicuous in your future affairs. Such unnecessary attention only brings trouble in your every wake.\”
Both of them nod in response, still flabbergasted by the true status of the druid being revealed to them.
\”It appears that this meeting is finally concluded then.\” The lizardling said. He then faces Isamu with a serious look once more. \”And don't forget the important message that is to be passed to Malic personally, got it?\”
\”R-right.\” The cat-folk Champion replies.
\”Now as for you Gray, you and Selena in the meantime will have to wait outside in the living room. I have another letter to write to the headmaster of Arkanos University regarding our situation using the same words and I don't want to be disturbed. Your tutelage will begin this afternoon, so prepare yourself.\”
\”Alright,\” Gray said as all of them excluding the lizardling all left the room, with Selena carrying the pile of broken woods on her arms without effort.
With Rarsu finally alone in his room, he assumed a playful smirk and stared intently at the open window on top. He then channels wind magic to forcefully push a particular small bird inside the room, causing the animal to stumble into the floor by the sheer force of the wind.
\”So, a little birdie decided to eavesdrop, hehe.\”
\”*Chirp!!*\”
The surprise tweet came from a certain brown sparrow. The little bird is indeed shock by how the druid was able to sense its tiny presence at its hiding spot.
