We finally reach the evacuation center after the soldiers manage to talk things out.
We then get off and all of them are guided somewhere, it seems like they need to report what happened and they would probably try to create strategy plan along with their commander to deal with the situation.
I would not wonder if they will try to incorporate me to their plan. They even want me to join them earlier but I refused them, saying that I am hungry and in need of some coffee and little rest.
They then agreed to it. Saying that I might be needed later so I should not wonder too far.
I arrived at the Ezperanza gymnasium. Which is inside their elementary school. It seems like the classrooms here where being used as evacuation shelter as well.
But I decided to be at the gymnasium since I don't know anyone here.
I sat on the empty bleacher and eat my biscuits that I have in my bag. I also brought a 3 in 1 coffee with me but the issue is I don't have hot water.
I look at the surrounding and saw that there are volunteers there giving away relief goods but it seems like hot water is not included.
I'm really tired and sleepy since I didn't take any nap yesterday and last night was a horrible all night stay.
I decided to just eat the coffee as well. Though bitter, it's still better than nothing.
Why am I stupid? I could teleport so why don't I return home first then and eat something delicious there before returning here when they needed me?
Yeah fine, let's do that.
I wrote my number on a piece of paper and my facebook as well incase those people don't have load with them. And decided to stood up when suddenly I feel an incoming 2 individuals with mana in my energy sense.
I could not see their faces, i could only feel them, it seems like they are on a group of people riding the truck. I guess those are the truck that left me behind earlier. Seems like they just arrived right now.
I tried to expand my senses to look for my parents house while walking to the direction of the soldiers camp and luckily my parents house is within my range limit. My range is really far, considering that you need to ride a plane for 30 to 40 minutes just to get there.
I stopped focusing on my parents house and look around to see if I knew someone.
I walk when suddenly someone stop me.
"What are you doing here? these is a restricted area." The wondering soldier said.
"I am here to deliver the thing that has been asked by me by the surviving soldiers earlier. Where are they anyway? They told me that it's urgent." I lied while waiving the piece of paper containing my number in front of the soldier to make myself believable.
The soldiers expression seems to believe me.
"They are inside that tent, come with me I will accompany you." He said and I take his offer.
We then walk and arrive at the tent that he was saying and call for the people insides.
"Lieutenant, someone here was looking for the guys last night." He said and I talk so the people inside would not wonder to my identity anymore.
"Hey, it's me, I came here to deliver something to you."
"Oh you came at a great timing, come in" Someone inside said and I immediately come inside. The other soldier who escort me here decided to leave as well after verifying that the other side are expecting me.
"Sorry to barge in, I just want to give you my contact number. I decided to return home using the method we used to come here. So if you needed me just contact me through this and I will arrive immediately."
"Ehmm... Actually we are talking about the awakened individuals right now. I explained to the Lieutenant that you have been awakened just like me as well and you save us all from that giant bulletproof snakes that's why we somehow manage to survive." The guy with a bulky arm but small head said.
He is referring to the middle age man that was infront of us.
It seems like he is the awakened soldier in the group earlier and now I could see him as well as the others properly now that they removed their covers.
"It's actually true and I will not hide the fact that I am an awakened individual. I probably have been awakened at the same time as your soldier. I am willing to help and cooperate to your strategy in closing the gate and eradicating the monsters as long as I don't do it alone."
"Urghh... It's hard to believe such things but considering that monsters out of fantasy are coming out of the portal, I guess not believing your words will be the stupidest thing. Although my soldiers explain what you're capable, I still want to see it to myself so I could create the most efficient and effective plan for the mission." He said and I nodded, since I could understand his worries.
"Before I leave I will erect a barrier here that would prevent monsters from coming in just to be safe. You could see it for yourself to judge. However I need to draw the magic circle on the ground and not a single thing of it should be erase or else the barrier will vanish immediately. So could you please prepare some paint and paintbrush for me? Any color will do."
I asked and he nodded immediately. He then signaled one of the soldier here and that soldier immediately exited.
"I also heard that you healed their wound? Are you a god or something? Could you bring the dead back to life? Even if only those who died in the gate incident?"
"I am sure that I'm not a God, I am just an ordinary person before. I don't know if I can bring dead back to life but I'll try looking at it, Wait for a second."
I used my Magic Archive and look for the relative information regarding resurrection and I finally got the answers.
"I think I could revive them if I somehow manage to get capture their souls. However I was not there when they died so I didn't have their souls with me. Resurrecting them as they are now using forbidden magic will just make them a walking corpse without a shred of humanity. If they are lucky and a strong awakened, they might be revived as a lich or death knight with intact memories without a soul. I think we should not perform that because it will be too disrespectful to the dead."
"I guess that's true. We will retrieve their bodies later and perform a ceremony to honor their deaths. It seems like being with you is the safest place on earth since you could technically revive people who died as long as you are with them."
I didn't answer him since I've been thinking that he might hold the candle of truth.
"Here's the paint" The soldiers arrive with the paint.
"Do you have anything else needed?" The Lieutenant ask.
"I just needed a cement floor then I will be fine." I said and he nodded and brought me to an empty basketball court.
"Will it be fine here?" He asked and I nodded.
I open the cap of the paint and start copying the magic circle in the book of the Magic Archive. While I was painting the others are just looking at me and talking to themselves. It took me 20 minutes to finish it, since I'm not a good painter and needed to be slow inorder not to make a mistake.
"I'm done, I will now begin the incantation and chant the spell."
I entered the center of the magic circle and start reading the words in my mind.
--Guardian of the light, hear my call, please show us your compassion and protect us from evil, LIGHT BARRIER--
Suddenly a beam of light shoot from the ground to the sky creating a semi transparent wall the covers the entire school.
I remain standing for a while in the magic circle as I pump up mana to its limit.
After a few seconds I get out of the magic circle and sigh in relief.
"It seems like a success. No monsters of a certain power level will be able to enter this place. However this barrier will only stand for 12 hours since we didn't have the proper materials for it as well as it's power source, which is the mana that I poured, is not unlimited."
"That was amazing. You created a fortress on your own." The Lieutenant said in amazement.
"By the way, aside from me and your soldier, I detected 2 civilians earlier who are also awakened just like us. Look for them and tried to convince them to join us in our mission. The success rate of the mission will increase if you could add them to your arsenal." I revealed.
"You could even do something like that? That's a god like ability for sure. By the way do you know their appearance?"
"I didn't, I haven't seen them personally, I could just feel them. I think Mr. awakened soldier will be able to identify them if he somehow manage to get close to them."
We all look at him and the pressure makes him salute immediately.
"It's Mark please remember that." He said and I just nodded at him.
"I guess I will return home now, I still need to eat and take some rest to prepare for later. Just call me immediately by the number I've given you if something where to happened when I'm not around."
"You'll be leaving already? Well at least take my Clark here. He is reliable so he'll take care of you."
He probably notice me and my eyes eyeing Mr. Stern Face earlier which is Mr. Clark by now which makes my face hot.
This Lieutenant is really something to notice such things.
"Then we will be leaving now." I said as I wave at them all.
I turned my back at them and did what I did earlier. The space rip apart revealing a house on the other side.
We then both enter the other side.
