30 Episode 30: Preparations Part 1 (2/2)
I looked at him in confusion. ”Why? Is there any problem with that?”
”Of course there is! GATES are dangerous as f*ck and challenging one is already suicidal! You think you can waltz into a GATE and walk out back alive? Dude, do you even know what is a GATE?!”
”The one that is used to control who wants to go in or go out a certain building right?”
”HELL NO! THAT IS A DIFFERENT GATE! I AM TALKING ABOUT THE GATES!”
”Ah, yeah of course. And I more or less care about the dangers there.”
Indeed. I care less about the dangers there. GATES might be dangerous because they are the Earth's way of disposing malice all around the world. GATES forms once a lot of malice is gathered at one point. From then on, the GATES will forever exist and will forever contain malice. Of course, if a GATE is out of control, monsters will appear and that would be the most dangerous turns of events. That is why magicians are the ones tasked in controlling gates and contain all that is inside of it. And besides, GATES yield bounty and resources that you can't easily get from the demons are being dropped there. And if I want to get stronger, challenging that place is the only choice of mine.
”You are insane,” Godou said.
”Did you already entered one of those GATES?” I asked him.
”Yes, if not, I would not be a decent magician, at worst, I may be worse than your magic state right now. But are you sure you won't hire anyone to go with you inside the GATE?”
”I have already decided.”
Godou sighed and he looked at his sisters who shrugged.
”Alright, sisters, please give him the advance kits. If he wants to survive a GATE with his weak magic, then he needs those things.”
His sisters nodded and they started gathering things.
”Advance kits?” I asked him.
”Yeah. I can't accompany you to a GATE since it is one of the most dangerous places in this world. Maybe I will accompany you if you get to be with a party. Otherwise, I will just stay here.”
Godou already decided what he wanted to do. But that can't sway me. If I do it with someone, then I am just relying on them. If I want to be strong, I need to work on it by myself.
