Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Takao arrived at his destination.

"This is the camp, huh?"

He started descending. Nobody could see him since he is invisible.

He reached the floor and strode forward towards the camp. He then removed his invisibility.

The camp only compromised of tents everywhere. There are small and large tents.

"Who are you?"

"There's no need to know me."

The guard then got blown away.

"Hey! Call the other soldiers!"

"Yes!"

Many soldiers are now all around him.

"What is this commotion?"

"General!"

"General huh? Well. I only need you."

"Soldiers. Kill him."

In unison

"Yes!"

But before the soldiers could move an inch.

Earth spikes burst from the ground for each soldier.

"I bet you can't kill me. Come on you shitty general. Just give me your head."

"Protect the general! Kill the enemy!"

The clouds started getting dark.

"Focus on him!"

"Die..."

Lightning strikes started rampaging towards the ground. Ruining everything.

"Atrox..."

"What!?"

"I don't want my friends to die there."

"..."

"But we are here."

"Yes, Raske. But... They are my other friends. They are my friends too."

"I don't think they will live anymore."

"Don't say that!"

"The only person I don't want to die is the mentor. After all, he acted as our father."

"But... They are still my friends."

Meanwhile in the camp.

*sigh*"You general had given me a hard time there. *huff* You piece of shit. You finally died."

After the battle. What remains is just a wasteland.

"Mentor."

"Y, yes?"

"Let's go."

"Why did you saved me?"

"It is the will of your student."

"My student?"

"Yes."

"But... Everyone is dead now."

"Well. I am sorry about that. They chose to fight."

"You know. If it is Presny that you are talking about. A lot of her friends are now dead."

"Really? She has friends here? Sorry. If I had known."

"It is fine. Are they safe? The three of them?"

"Yes. I didn't kill them."

"Thank you. Come on. Old man. Let's go."

"Yes. But. Do you feel guilt for killing them all?"

"No. In war. There has to be no feeling. In war. You must have a cold heart. Right?"

"Yes."

"Let us go now. I hope they will stop attacking now that I did this."

"You killed thousands of soldiers in just a matter of minutes."

"I could have done that in a second. I actually don't want to kill those that don't want to fight. But I had to. Since they all engage to me."

"I see. Still. It is amazing that we are flying right now."

"It will be hard for an old man to walk now right?"

"Come on. I am just sixty-two years old."

"So you could still move huh?"

"Well. I still could fight hundreds of people at once."

"I see. Are you still able to teach?"

"Yes. I am called the "Genius" and I could really still teach. I still have a strong body after all."

"Very well. How about moving into my magedom and teach the people there?"

"Hmm... Sure. I am an old man now. So I have limited time in this world now. I also don't have a family. So I really could teach. Until I die."

"Don't worry. I will find a way to make you live longer."

"Thank you then."

"Here we are."

"Oh."

They arrived at the village and entered.

"Oh. Your majesty!"

"... I told you. I am not a king yet. Do that when I got this land."

"You are still a king."

"Let's go this way. This is where your students are."

They strode forward towards where the trio is. Upon reaching a certain house. They entered.

"Mentor!"

"Presny! My students!"

"Mr Takao. Why is our mentor alive? I thought you are going to kill everyone."

"I really did. Raske. But Presny wanted your mentor to be alive, right?"

"But how?"

"When I was going to leave. I heard her."

"Y, you heard that? Nobody here heard my whisper. How?"

"I simply have a sensitive hearing. Very well. I will still get the other two villages. So bye. Just ask the other people when you need something. Mentor. I hope you won't do anything wrong. But sorry that I can't still let you go. I will do so after I got back."

And he left.

Of course that his hearing is not sensitive. It is due to wind magic. Which he could use that acted as another sense.

He flew to one of the two villages that he said he would gather under his banner.

"Takao-san!"

"Village chief. I am here for your decision."

"Of course. Almost everyone said yes. But there are people that couldn't be convinced. Sorry."

"It is fine. I will take them along."

"But what if they don't want to go?"

"I will leave them."

"Then. About that wanted to go. We had gathered most of them and had prepared our things."

"Tell them that they could go and even bring along their furniture."

"Really?"

"The houses will be done when you got there. Don't worry."

"I see. I will call everyone now."

"Yes. Please do."

After a while.

"Here's everyone."

"Let's go then."

They started flying along with their things.

"Mom! We're flying!"

"Yes. But please quiet son."

"Yes..."

After a while. They arrived.

"Why are we in a grassland? Why not there inside those high walls?"

"I will recreate all your houses now."

Takao slowly raises his hand. Along with it. The similar village is made. But it is made out of concrete stone instead of wood.

"Wow."

"Then. I will move to the other village. Please help yourselves inside. I hope you could take care of your things like bringing them inside yourselves."

"This is enough! This is much better than our village. Thank you."

"Yes. I had to go now. I don't have time today. I am sorry. Oh. Forgot the walls."

Three walls are now connected to each other. This is more of a city now than before.

He moved to the other village and done the same since all of them had agreed to move. Adding another wall and a village behind it.

Takao managed to convince the people that have stayed behind from the previous village and managed to get them to their group.

Now he is back and gotta deal with those people.
