Chapter 128 Journey to the wasteland 1 (2/2)

”ladies first”

Chloe gave a smile and stepped through the portal meanwhile Varvei was hesitating a little and eventually asked

”can we hold hands?”

”are you still scared?”

Varvei gave a small cute nod before Mars gave a soft sigh and held out his hand to her

”thanks”

Varvei took his hand and stepped through the portal along with Mars, last was Victoria that jumped through the portal right before it closed...

at Destra's magic academy in the central plaza a rift suddenly opened and stabilized, this of cause caused student to gather around some stared with wide eyes at the unnatural spacial rift while others just gave it a glance while they walked past, soon the portal widened and Chloe stepped out followed by Mars and Varvei and finely Victoria before it closed again, Mars looked around at the crowd with a smug smile on his face before he walked to class along with Chloe, Varvei and Victoria on the way they ran into a familiar face and Mars stopped to chat

”hey Cass”

”ugh... h-hey Mars”

Cassandra looked like she had just swallowed something bitter

”...I will ignore that rude sound you made if you tell me what's been happening around the academy lately”

”that's fair... well the buzz is mostly around the 3rd prince getting together with some daughter of a baron”

”wait is that daughter named Hanna?”

”no her name was something else”

”...I see”

”well I have class now so I got to go”

”see you around Cass”

”...see you Mars”

after mars said goodbye to Cassandra he caught up with Chloe and Varvei and walked together with them to class were he greeted the others and sat down and waited, soon Max, the new vice principal arrived he looked a little stressed but seemed to visibly relax when he saw Mars

'somehow I have a bad feeling about that...'

Mars tried to push his rude thoughts aside but during the lesson Max kept glancing at him almost as he was making sure Mars was still there, after class Mars rose to his feet as soon as the bell rang and was about to make his escape out the classroom when Max called out to him

”Mars I need to talk with you, please stay behind”

”...fine”

Mars stopped and walked back to his seat and sat down, meanwhile the other students left the classroom even Varvei and Chloe left together with Karen and Joy, although they both gave him a little wave when they walked past him

”so what is it you want to talk about?”

”well... it's about the way you travel to the academy”

”ah...”

to cover up his ability as a living god to literally tear space Mars had told others he was a space time mage, a harmless little lie

”well the thing is the king has learned you are a space time mage and would like to meet with you personally”

”....I see, so when does he want to meet?”

Max gave a rather strained smile

”as soon as possible”

”I see, well then let's head there now”

”that was the plan, you have been to King's city yes?”

”yes I have.... give me a second”

Mars transformed his left hand and slashed out into empty air and activated the skill he had learned when he had hit level 40 [Living god: space tear] and tore a rift in space, a few seconds later the rift stabilized and Mars gave a nod

”you first”

”o-okay... it's safe right?”

”totally”

”good... then here I go!”

Max clenched his fist and walked into the spacial rift, Mars gave a grin and followed after him soon after...

in the middle of King's city at a busy plaza a spacial rift suddenly appeared, this of cause scared the surrounding people with some calling for the guards while others fled in panic but soon the rift turned quiet as it had stabilized and a man wearing a golden mantle walked out and looked around before he gave a sigh and turned back and looked at the portal were Mars soon stepped out

”could you not have chosen a more secluded place?”

”sure I could, how about next time I open a portal directly inside the castle?”

”...never mind, well then let's head to the castle”

”sure... it should be just this way”

Mars and Max walked towards the castle which they reached after a half hour walk, Max walked up and exchanged a few words with the guards before they were allowed inside the castle, when they entered a knight stood and waited he gave a glance at Mars before he looked back at Max and spoke

”please hand over all weapons to me”

Max turned to Mars and Mars gave a nod and loosened the sheath form his pants and handed it to the knight

”well then please follow after me, his majesty awaits”
