(From MC's POV)
I led Jake House to the nearby town. We were walking by foot. I thought Jake would complain about it, but this guy is okay with it.
From our earlier conversation, I missed asking about one important thing. I don't know whether any protectors are coming with him or not. With my level, it's impossible to find high-level wizards.
Then I retracted my thoughts, even though it's protector's level must be no more than level-4 Wizard. I'm counting on these poison bottles.
On the other hand,
Jake House walked along with him. He may appear calm from the outside, but on the inside he is extremely worried. He just asked for some relics from his organisation to improve his strength.
But after getting this unknown rock, instead of strength, he made a lot more enemies. Sighing inside, he quietly walked along with the newcomer.
Half an hour later,
Jake House is slightly displeased by the level-2 wizard. He thought that an unknown wizard was nearby. But this newcomer leads him outside of the city.
He raised his eyebrows in frustration.
But he didn't complain. Since there is going to be a confrontation later, He too thought it would be best if it happened outside of the city. Jake plans to get rid of all the traces.
One and a half hours later, in the
City of Venen,
Night time,
This city is under the administration of our Red City. Forget about walking. If there were other borders, it would take two or more hours to reach that place by train. Like that one in Headquarters?
I had already turned off my communication watch in class itself. Nobody can locate my whereabouts.
This city of Venen is a small city. It has one border connected to our Red City. The remaining ones are connected with other large cities. This city of Venen is like a small hub.
This place is a little suspicious compared to the other ones.
Finally, after getting inside the city, Both of us walked for a long time. I purposely led him outside of the city. This city is densely populated; every square inch of land has some kind of apartment or shop.
It's already late at night, but the city is quite awake. This is also my first time coming here. My desire for super relics made me come out of my comfort zone.
I led him towards my favourite spot and he was able to reach it. From a distance, I saw a huge city wall. My favourite location is a short distance away, and we soon arrived at the city exit.
Apart from adventurers, any wizard can venture into the wilderness. From time to time, our school also conducts monster hunting trips in the wilderness.
So this place is not exclusive to the adventurers' guild. After verifying our ID, the city guard allowed us to exit for the day.
Earlier, I was worried that Jake House would cause some ruckus. But this guy is unusually calm. I couldn't help but chuckle. This guy is seeking his own death.
After walking out of the gate, we were greeted by a large wilderness. But it's impossible to have a clear vision in this darkness. It was already night. I couldn't help but wonder what was happening in my home.
I shook my head and retracted my thoughts. Then I take two goggles from my storage bracelet. I kept one and gave the other to Jake House.
The goggles are the best gadget for someone who ventures into the wilderness. Some useful features included night vision, flash light, maps, and a screen recorder.
This is not even an outer area. To carry out my plan, I need to go deeper into the wilderness to complete it.
Then I began to walk, putting on an act as if this was something preplanned by someone. And I'm just carrying out someone else's plan.
Otherwise, it's not easy to fool this plan. What is even more shocking to me is that Jake House agreed without making any fuss.
Maybe he really wanted to get that secret from me. So he is okay with it. Whatever, a little more time before I get that thing in my hands.
Usually, the wizards from adventure guilds come to this wilderness to earn money.
Before applying for that part-time job, I actually thought about joining the adventure guild. But because of my weak strength and school life, I dropped the thought.
On the other hand,
Jake House was really surprised by seeing the wilderness. He sneered, "As expected of these people." They have chosen the wilderness. I know that as part of national government forces, these people won't dare to cause commotion inside the city. "
Since he had arrived at this spot. He decided to check his arsenal. He put his mind into a storage bracelet. After confirming that there was a level-3 Wizard protection item, he sighed in relief.
He doesn't believe that a level-2 wizard has the guts to plan something like this. So he subconsciously believed that his enemy was a level-3 wizard.
On the other hand,
I halted my footsteps to see his expression. "This guy is still keeping his cool," I muttered to myself. Then,
shaking my head, I walked deeper into the woods. Only deep inside can you find some higher-level monsters. And also, it's not easy to find other wizards at this point of time.
Suddenly, from the bushes, a huge monster leaped against Jake House. I was walking a little ahead of him. So it didn't catch my attention until Jake reacted.
Seeing the level-1 monster wild boar was dashing towards him, Jake House wasn't even flustered. He waited for Monster to inch closer towards him.
When the monster was one foot away, JaKe House moved. Before the wild boar monster could react, he appeared above his head.
He used his fist to smash his head.
"Pfff"
The head of the wild boar burst open like a watermelon. Blood spilled all over the ground.
After killing that monster, he used his palm to retrieve a mana gem from the monster's left over head. A brown coloured crystal hovered above the monster's body. Jake raised his palm and the next second it fell into his hands.
Then he simply put the mana gem inside the storage bracelet.
On the other hand,
This guy didn't even use his spell. My heart skips a beat while watching the fight.
This shows that Jake is reaching the limit of a level-1 wizard. It will be a matter of time before he gets a breakthrough.
A hint of urgency rose in my heart. I need to kill him before he gets suspicious. I don't know why I feel strange. This guy is unusually calm. I can't imagine if it were others, this thing wouldn't have happened.
He is acting like he is figuring everything out. Shaking my head, I continue to walk according to the map displayed at the corner of my google's glass screen.
From the map screen, I found a good spot. It looked like a cave-like structure. But it will take twenty minutes to reach that location. But in the Grimm darkness, it will take a few more minutes.
Next, I continued to walk towards the cave structure.
On the other hand,
Jake House is slowly losing his patience. He didn't know how many wizards the other side had got. Because it will be difficult to escape from groups. After knowing the location was wilderness, he is slowly regretting his decision.
If it were a city, he is confident that he could slip away from groups. But to do that in this wilderness is impossible. He raised his eyebrows in frustration.
Looking at Vincent, Jake has a desire to tear him off. It's much easier to kill a newcomer than to kill a wild boar. But he is enduring all of this because of an unknown rock.
It is something that is related to the future. Since Vincent told me that someone is interested in this unknown rock, Jake can't keep his inner calmness.
He only hopes the newcomer won't lead him towards high-level monsters. Some monsters in the wild have the strength of level-4 woods. But such monsters rarely come out. Most of them used to stay at their base.
Shaking his head, Jake checked his arsenal again. After counting the items, he felt they were not enough. Like Vincent, he also turned off his communication watch some time ago. He didn't want to inform his family.
Because this mess is related to Royal Force Hall. So he doesn't want to drag his family into this. This is a tussle between two factions inside the Royal Force Hall.
It's best for outsiders to not know about it.
Then again, looking at Vincent, he also ponders. When did this newcomer meet with Royal Force Hall? Suddenly, he thought of something. Jake doesn't know about Vincent's organization.
So he assumes that Vincent must have received an invitation from them. Because it's been only two days since the newcomer joined his class. So it's quite possible that he was recruited by Royal Force Hall.
After assuming that, he twitched, "So the opposite faction has selected this newcomer."
Jake House believed that now he understood the whole picture.
