Torvi, Orlando, Talia, and Morgana are all lined up waiting for Aleric to lead them on the mission they have just been given. They are the four people Aleric selected to be his companion in the mission. Orlando was surprised when Professor Gerald told him he is among the students Aleric selected. He was exchanging pointers with Torvi when Gerald came to tell them about the mission. Before the professor made his presence known, he made sure to watch the two boys spar against each other. It was so magnificent that the professor started to understand why Aleric wanted them to tag along with him."I am giving you a period of a moment to finish the mission. If you are not done by then, I will send another group to come and finish the mission."Alright, professor." Aleric received the headmaster's order before leaving the office. Miss Hanna was with the professor so Aleric only winked at her when the professor wasn't looking."That boy is so full of himself." Professor Ryan shook his head a

"It's already getting dark, they should be here by now." Torvi was worried about the two girls. Aleric was worried too but he wasn't making it show on his face."They are girls, this is their first time stepping outside the school. It's easy for them to get carried away and buy more than they can handle." Orlando wasn't in any way worried. Orlando and Torvi went to a restaurant to try all sorts of food. They are both from a poor background, so they never had much to eat."Wish every day would be like this." Torvi said as he looked at the sunset. He has never been so full in his life."If we work hard enough, we would always have our stomachs filled up." Orlando assured him and Aleric made a mental note to find a way to make them rich. He knew it would be absurd if he just give them money without them earning it. Judging from their character they wouldn't like that."Talia." Aleric muttered as he felt Talia fastly approaching. Not long after, Talia came out from the shadows looking ver

Aleric decided they should rest for one more day before continuing their journey. Talia was so sad about the incident that she was unable to look Aleric in the face. Morgana noticed Talia's sadness and made sure to make the girl's mood lighten up. They started talking but Talia was still feeling guilty for what happened. "We would be spending the night in this inn." They all went to bed after their dinner, just like in the previous town he paid for three rooms. Since they didn't want to repeat the past incident, none of them wandered around. Morgana went upstairs to their room before Aleric, she needed to freshen up before he would enter. Nothing steamy has happened between them since they started the journey. The first night together, Morgana slept like a corpse, and the second night, Aleric didn't touch her because he felt she was still weak. So, Morgana was prepared not to waste any more chances and be like the rest of her sisters that always take the bull by the horns. "Talia." A

The prisoners felt the chill run down their spine the moment Aleric said those words. He didn't use a fear spell because he didn't need to, his cold words were enough to send shivers down their spine."Open the bars." "They would attack us the moment we open it. You might not have noticed, but the dungeon is designed to cut off all mana. So, with their numbers, they would be able to overwhelm the two of us and run away or even kill us." The prisoners smirked when they heard what the mayor said."Thank your stars boy, the bars are keeping you safe, away from us." Aleric scoffed and went ahead to slice the gate open. Both the prisoners were shocked by his action and he casually stepped in like he wasn't bothered by their numbers."You keep making a mistake thinking you are the predator and I am the prey. Do you think the bars are keeping me safe from you? How delusional, the bars were actually keeping you safe." Aleric sheathed his sword and lunged at them. He didn't need his mana or

The bandits waited for their members but nobody came back after two days. It meant they just lost 30 members. They didn't know what was going on, but it was obvious that something beyond their expectations has happened in the town."Leader, it's time we prepare and march to the town once again. Maybe they'd have gotten a strong mage that is now helping them. Or they have successfully requested help from the kingdom.""That's impossible, there is no way a movement from the kingdom knights and mages would escape our sight. Maybe they have forgotten the fear they have for me and have decided to fight back." The bandits accepted their leader's suggestions as it wasn't impossible for the townspeople to defeat about 20 of his men if they decided to fight back."We would march to the town tomorrow and you all should be ready for anything." The leader ordered and they all accepted.The townspeople knew they would soon be faced with the full force of the bandits so they were all prepared for i
