Grasslands north of Hong Kong
( We traveled through the grasslands, trying to find a magical pond-) I was thinking but then interrupted by a loudmouth
"We are not searching for a "magical pond" we are looking for the mystic springs !" Xi Raya shouted and walked up on me
"Woah, be careful how you approach me,I'm dangerous. Wait how did you know I thought that ?" I said
Everyone looked at me
"Young man, are you okay ? You didn't know you were speaking out loud ?" Senior Chu
I involuntarily did a double take
"Shit, I must still be tired. I'm...still recovering from things." X
"I see so your mastery of white magic isn't high enough to recover stamina." Senior Chu
"Well I can recover physical. stamina but not mental stamina." I responded, but thought to myself
(Actually, using my own esper power of space seems to mentally strain me the most.)
"Hmmmm..." Xi Yi
When I looked at her she was still looking at me
"Usually when someone catches you staring you're supposed to look off." X
"I don't see a reason to do such a thing, your very interesting. Not only is your mastery of white magic is high, most mages could only heal and also your mastery of spacial magic is unusually high for a mere wizard." Xi Yi
"Oh haha, stop with the flattery Mrs. Yi." I said faking my laugh and smile trying to change the subject by subtly implying she was married
"Oh I'm not married and you could just call me Yi, so tell me; Do you think I make a good wife ?" Xi Yi said and made a cute pose
She looked beautiful, I couldn't lie
She could probably make the most adamant incel bow his head to her
But that don't mean shit to me.
"I don't know yet, if I don't like your character...I'll let you know then." X
Senior Chu turned around fast as if he wasn't around fifty years old
Rueder also turned his face was in total confusion
"Young man, I won't warn you again; Watch what you say !" Chu
"Old man, I won't warn you again. I don't kiss ass. I don't suck anything, I'm too old for lying." X
"Traveler, I think you should reconsider your words." Rudder said while squaring his stance at me
I peered over to Ryuki who looked like he was trying to assess every bit of the situation
Now I was on no way shape or form a fast thinker, but they did give me enough time to come up with a better response
"Your right...." I say looking off, and nodding
"See, was that so- " Rueder was. starting to say but I cut him off
"...Though I could just leave, then track you all down later. Pick you all of one by one." X
"Are you threatening us !" Xi Raya
The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife
"I actually like him." Xi Yi
"Wha- my lady-" Rueder said in surprise and turned to face her
"Enough, everyone I meet gives me fake smiles and emotions. Really spineless, but you.....haha, your even improper and even dare curse in my presence." Xi Yi laughed
Now I had been checking my map every few minutes before things got tense, but when we
were just at each other's throats, I stopped checking my map; So I thought I would check it again now that the tension is clear
My eyes must have bulged or popped momentarily or something because Ryuki asked me
"What is it ?" Ryuki
"Hey, "Princess", I hates fake handshake too, but.... we're surrounded." X
"Why couldn't you just say that last part immediately ? And why can't I sense anything ?" Senior Chu said while looking around
"They're pretty far away, and also there is a lot of them." I said
"Wait, how could you sense them if none of us can ?" Ryuki
I didn't want to give yet another card of mine away so I just looked at him
By now, figures as big as pick up trucks came from around us
"Ants ?!" Me and Ryuki exclaimed
"These aren't just any type of ants, they're ants mutated by mana or aura.
Their genes must have been mutated by the high amounts of aura in the area." XI Yi
"So I'm guessing this is common by why don't I see this on the news somewhere ?" Christian
"Because the guilds usually have some sort of hand in news reports, stopping phenomena from like this from making it into public eye. You didn't even know THAT !? You can't be serious !" Xi Raya
"I see the situation, they circled us and made their aura blend in with the area blinding our senses. " Chu said
"Impressive." Ryuki said looking around
The ants circled us and and instead of charging, it seemed they were tightening their circumference.
"Watch out they will spit acid !" Rueder yelled before a bunch of them spit out at us...
Elsewhere in a hidden room within the building of the U.S Guild, this place was the World Guild master's U.S office
Rarely anyone has set foot or even seen the inside of the room
You could probably count on your fingers the amount of people still alive who has stepped foot inside this room
And today their was two women inside talking about a certain situation happening with in the situation
One of which was the demon Queen Aamon
She kneeled down to the feet of the other woman and said
"I need your help...my nation will be conquered and annexed at this rate.
We have no one else to turn to." Aamon
"A Queen, of demons no less, kneeling to me ?
Please stand up your highness." The woman said
She had long auburn hair down to her back, with a witch's hat over her head
Her eyes was an ocean blue, she seemed to be in her twenties not to mention her body was impossibly perfect
with an all black garment covering most of her torso and legs
there was a cut off part of it that showed her off her mighty cleavage
She was holding a long staff, longer than her 5'9 body, it was made wood with a the very top looking like crescent only laying sideways so the tips of the crescents were pointed at the ceiling
Queen Aamon stood up as requested and giggle
"Oh please, you are a Queen in your own right.
You may as well became the Queen of humans, except that no God faction would allow that.
Anyways, don't address me with formalities then because I won't speak to you formally either.......Abella." Aamon
