Inside this so called 'Elevator'. The founder silently move his feet towards Luginas side and commented "long time no see, Gin" with wide grin, enough for his lips to surfaced from his long beard, he genuinely said so towards his friend.
The one who created myth and legend together with 'The Meister'; the other missing piece is Luginas himself, he is Gin Galmung; hailed as Adventurer's Champion, [Balmung], named after his greatsword who hacked and slashed every monster in its wake. . .But legends and records only knows his Adventurer Alias and not his real name, only a handful knows his real name. . .
Luginas at the same time didn't even try to answer the Meister, not after noticing its lips as if a carnivorous monster would eat him alive.
The remaining little girls; the princess and her Knight, look towards the midget guild master with envy and piercing glare. Why he didn't answer when the Meister himself is the one who open the topic? is what this two lady's thought--as for the other escorts, they already return home after after handing over their princess to a trusted 'Meister'--
While the two lady are still envy towards Luginas, the princess asks politely, "Meister--Director, are you an acquaintance with the Guild Master?" Afterall, the moment she enrolled at Magic Academy. as an honorary, she should call the founder nothing more than a 'Director' even if Meister is more honorable sound.
"Yes, I'm the one who helped him become an Adventurer, also, the reason why he become the Guild Master during and after defeating Kahjita. . ."
Answers the Meister, whilst the two pieces them together. Of course the Meister's answer is correct, but not even half of them are truth. Either way, as long as other wouldn't know, that's all. . .
"So that's why" as the princess mutters, Elle the Knight nodded her head repeatedly in the process and now convince. To think this guy had such a connection. Is what the princess thought.
After then, Meister asks Luginas again. . ."how is it? your Lackadaisical life? is it more entertaining than Adventuring?"
With a couple of pause, Luginas answers at last, looking towards his fist, opening it and shut "Not that tedious at all, but the only way that could draw me away from. . ."
Luginas tried to answer the Meister but he cut down his own word, looking towards the other two, ". . .either way, let's talk later alone; one on one, okay?", he spelled out and look towards the smiling Meister, returning with grin.
With a few couple of silent, they arrived at the 'School' ground at last. At the very bottom level of the tower, a thousands of meters of height and hundreds of thousands of meter radius in length. With different kinds of buildings to train; a school ground; and different kind of room for students to sleep; and at its center, protruded the so called the 'Magical Tower' where all of sources of magic resides. The one who gives electricity for example, and so on. . .
After then, the two lady was escorted by the Academy Teacher, Herlinn after welcoming them with glinting emerald eyes and perky ear. Her position is only one rank below the Director, so the Meister is appointed her to do the job done before and during the Kingdom princess' arrival. . .She's also the trusted aid of the Director.
With wide grin, the Meister look towards Luginas again as they teleported somewhere after the others left them behind--with only one swept of 'her' hands. . .
". . .So you achieved teleportation without that 'stone' or channel as a catalyst, huh. . .you are now more like a Witch than Magician" Luginas noted after they arrived at the toppest floor of Magical Tower through teleportation. . .
"Calling your friend a witch? Thats rude" The Meister, without much thought; transformed into a 170cm woman, gills are still attached above her collarbone, skinny and snow white skin and has half centimeter finger nails.. silver gunmetal colored hair and ocean eye; no beard; no moustache as she answers. Just her natural and 'real' gender but chest is just as flat as iron.
Also. . .if not for her name, 'Grunt' or maybe her physique. She's the most beautiful woman alive in this world even right now. But for some reason. . .she changed her gender and public appearance just because of a certain someone, making fun of her.
"is it. . .something important?" directly straight to the point with sigh, Luginas questioned
Changing her dress at the same time in a flash, Grunt returned another question "What is it that you wanna hear? a bad? or a worst?"
"If its troublesome, I'd prefer none then?" sitting from the nearest comfortable chair, Luginas answered while stretching his hands out, lying his body like a cat trying to shove his small body in a narrow space, in which, Grunt find it funny.
"Really. when did your Trait changed to a cat? want me to give you a catnip then?". . .But Luginas didn't answer with only closed eyes.
"Alright then, truth is. . ." Grunt at the same time explained everything.
