Chapter 39: Making fun of the earth rider

The next day.

With the addition of Clark, the band continued their journey south in the Dark Forest. Due to Clark’s involvement, it became much easier to handle the various magical creatures along the way.

Clark purposefully showed off his skills in front of Fanny, and it was thanks to his great assistance that two Windblade Wolves and one Frost Eagle were easily taken care of along the journey.

Whenever a magical creature was killed, Han Shuo would swiftly appear and immediately remove the creature core. He would then naturally hand it over to Lisa for safekeeping, absolutely treating it as if it was his side’s spoils of war. Even the Windblade Wolf pelts weren’t left behind for Clark.

Clark wanted to win Fanny’s favor, and thus although his heart bled inside, he still forced a smile, played along with Han Shuo’s actions, and didn’t fight for the magical creature cores.

The crew raised a bonfire at dusk and it the duty of grilling meat fell onto Han Shuo again. Clark intentionally stayed with Fanny and wittily conversed with her. Off to the side, Gene eyed Clark and would repeatedly butt in and use words to ostracize Clark.

The other students all separated to either rest, laugh and chat, or silently organize their belongings. Only Lisa stayed beside Han Shuo, watching him flip the pieces of meat with ease.

“Bryan, I’ve discovered that you’re becoming more of a villain, and that you’re very different from before!” Lisa was holding a bright-red, wooden stick in her hands as she stirred the bonfire carelessly. Her bright eyes landed on Han Shuo’s body as she spoke.

Han Shuo flicked a glance at Lisa before responding faintly, “Is that so? I’m feel fine…I just felt that I was living too hopelessly and stupidly before and wanted to change myself. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Lisa shook her head and said, “No no. I just feel that you’re different from before. I don’t know how to describe what is exactly going on. Maybe it is because I cast the Agony of the soul on you and made things the way they are.”

Laughing involuntarily, Han Shuo thought that he wasn’t Bryan at all and thus it had nothing to do with the Agony of the Soul. Whether it was Lisa, Fanny, or even the other students and teachers, it was quite funny that they all thought the Agony of the Soul was the reason behind his changes.

“Are my changes not good?”

“Very good, you’re much better than how you were before. I was really angry to see you so cowardly and timid before, so I was mean to you in hopes that you’d shape up, but you always accepted whatever life threw your way, and wouldn’t resist no matter who bullied you. I felt that you were quite pitiful then and that living was quite painful for you. It would’ve been better if you died. I actually used the Agony of the Soul on you because I didn’t want to see you living so pitifully anymore.” Lisa thought for a moment and and then looked at Han Shuo.

A frown creasing his brow, Han Shuo looked at Lisa, perplexed. He asked, “Is this to say that you were helping me out of the goodness of your heart when you used the Agony of the Soul on me?”

“Of course!” Lisa’s neck raised as she explained, “Although I grabbed you for magic practice before, I treated you a lot better than the other students did, but you were disappointing and lived out your days so hopelessly. I couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to set you free from this life. Look at you now, you’ve changed so much that I hardly recognize you.

Shaking his head, Han Shuo didn’t say anything more, but somewhat approved of Lisa’s methods within his heart. The pitiful Bryan really did live life so hopelessly and he’d long since wanted to kill himself but just lacked the courage to do so. Han Shuo, however, was still unable to forgive Lisa for helping people end their lives.

“Bry… Bryan. I think we can grill our own meat and don’t have to impose on you.” At this moment, Bach, Bella, and a few others walked over from afar and looked at Han Shuo with a bit of fright as they spoke.

In these days, Han Shuo grilled out exceedingly delicious meat for Lisa, Fanny, Amy, and co. and horrendously gross meat for Bach, Bella, and a few others. After a few days of torture, Bach, Bella, and co. had already suffered from a few days of diarrhea.

They had been cursing and complaining at Han Shuo, but after experiencing Han Shuo’s berserk performance yesterday, these people didn’t even dare to complain and curse at him. They were afraid that Han Shuo would suddenly lose his mind again.

Now, they were truly a bit afraid of Han Shuo.

Smiling dumbly, Han Shuo said with some embarrassment. “How can this be done? I’m an errand slave for the necromancy major and preparing food is one of my jobs. It wouldn’t be that appropriate for your noble and delicate selves to do such tasks, would it?”

“Appropriate, absolutely appropriate! Since we’re out training, we should try everything once. Not to mention you saved our lives yesterday. We shouldn’t let you continue to take on that many missions… Wouldn’t you agree Bach?” Bella forcefully laughed as she spoke.

“Indeed, we should grill our own food and not rely on you for everything!” Bach’s stomach had suffered for a few days already, and he knew that if he were to eat Han Shuo’s grilled meat again, it would definitely be half raw and half cooked. He hurriedly fawned with a small smile, paused and opened his mouth. “Bryan, I was in the wrong before. Please don’t hold a grudge against me. If you hate me and come find me when you suddenly go cr- er, suddenly lose your rationality, then I would be screwed!”
