2024-10-29 19:42:56Unfortunately Vincent couldn't say that directly. Alex had already brought himself before King Romeros, which meant it was Vincent's responsibility to do his job.
There was no way Vincent would back down before doing anything. Later it will risk sacrificing Alex's good name."Okay, it's late and I've brought you to the other magic researchers. So, my job is done," said Alex who ended his words with a relieved smile.The other magic researchers were whispering with beaming faces. They are still curious about Vincent's figure."I hope you can mingle and accept him here. Please understand that he needs a learning process," said Alex, continuing what he said earlier.After saying those words, Alex gave a farewell signal to the other magic researchers.The magic researchers agreed with Alex's words. They waved briefly, returning Alex's formal wave."See you soon, Alex!" replied Jarker who waved the most enthusiastically among

"I-I can't...." Vincent confessed in a trembling voice.Jarker, who had been watching from a short distance, burst out laughing. Sounds cynical."Hey, everyone! Turns out he can't do such a small thing!" Jarker said loudly to the magic researchers.The other magic researchers laughed in unison. The faces showed cynicism. Everyone laughed at Vincent."Why are you showing off so much already?" One of the magic researchers blurted out."You lousy people! Huuu!""I thought he did have great abilities, but apparently not at all!""I told you, he's not necessarily great! Don't just because he was taken by Alex means he has more abilities!" Thorn answered the magic researchers' cheers."I feel embarrassed when I show off but I can't do anything about it!"Thorn burst out laughing. "Poor Alex! He seems to be fooled by your fake ability!"All the magic researchers' curses resounded in this room. One by

Stella continues to explain without noticing that Salieri's gaze is focused on her. Stella's voice of explanation becomes faint because Salieri sinks into Stella's beady eyes."...the direction you aim for can be adjusted if your hands are in the right position."Stella finished her sentence and only then realized that Salieri had not been paying attention to the bow. Salieri's eyes are very focused, too ... look at that sickening smirk!"You think I'm a crossbow?" asked Stella, bringing Salieri to his senses.Salieri immediately snapped out of his reverie. Realizing that Stella was watching him, Salieri detached his eyes and focused on his arrow training. But Salieri grinned even wider."You don't know that I admire your firm expression, do you?" Salieri deliberately pranks Stella.Stella's forehead creased, wearing a strange facial expression. There was no response from Stella for a few seconds."So you enjoy making my

Pandora was even more irritated because Alex's answer didn't meet her expectations. He thought Alex would give him a chance to join the practice. But Alex was not persuaded at all."Why won't you give me a chance?" Pandora groaned at the end of her sentence as she raised her head. Lazy."Yeah, what else can I do?""If you won't give me a chance, I'm asking permission not to teach the kids magic right now."Alex stopped his movements and immediately looked at Pandora in astonishment."What do you mean?""I'm going to rest for today.""Then who replaced you?" Alex stood facing Pandora.Pandora shrugged her shoulders. "You could ask Helena for help."After saying that, Pandora just walked away from Alex's presence. Pandora didn't care at all what Alex's answer was, as if she was really tired from her task.So, Alex couldn't force or tell Pandora to cancel her wish. Alex understood that Pandora mig
Chronicle of the Returned King Purpose
"You don't want to come with us both to the wizarding school?" Alex's question came to Vincent after the candy and bidding session with Helena was over.Helena slung the bag strap over her shoulder, giving a small smile. Meanwhile, Vincent still looked stiff and doubtful about Alex's offer."If I come, I'm not one of the magical people," answered Vincent, who actually wanted to join. But feelings of doubt. because not belonging to the magicians made him rocked.Hearing Vincent's answer, Alex then exhaled harshly as his shoulders drooped. The look in his eyes at Vincent showed some embarrassment, but not really that serious. Seeing Alex, he had already told Vincent that Vincent was valuable even though he wasn't from among the magic-blooded people.For a few seconds watched by Alex, Vincent even more doubtful. He glanced at Helena and asked through a gaze. But Helena only glanced at Alex, smiled uncomfortably, and shook her head.As the situation became unpleasant, Vincent described th

"Why does he have to look dignified?"Vincent's mischievous smile curved. "You like it?""Of course not," Alex said quickly. Instantly his face changed. "I don't like him. How can I like my close friend?""Yeah, maybe..." Vincent turned his gaze back to Helena. "But, is there really a small number of children who learn magic?"Alex was silent for a moment, then nodded with a short cough."Right. To be honest... I made them a hope.""So what?""If you know, the children in the Nousant Kingdom... very few go to the magic school," explained Alex without taking his eyes off Helena who was practicing a different magic.What Alex said made Vincent interested."Few go to magic school?" asked Vincent to make sure. "So why don't the other kids go to the magic school too?"There was a pause for a few moments as Alex seemed to be thinking about something. Alex frowned as the expression on his face that ra
Chronicle of the Returned King Bad People
Hector becomes increasingly alarmed. His shoulders pushed Horat's hand away, then shook his head. Secretly he hoped that this time the news that Horat was delivering would not be trivial news like the royal gardener had changed his lawn mower."I... I have some news, and I guarantee it will be interesting for you."Hector exhaled slowly. "You've been saying that since yesterday. But the news you're telling isn't important. All the news you're giving is trash."Horat smirked. "I make sure this trash from me is trash that you will keep carefully."Switching from what he was doing—because Hektor was tired of hearing news from Horat, Hektor looked back at Horat. Even though there was doubt, curiosity couldn't be avoided from the look in his eyes."It's about Alex," Harot's voice was a whisper.Hektor's eyes widened in interest. Just briefly, less than five seconds, Hektor's position was directly facing Harot."Alex? What new
Chronicle of the Returned King Declaration
"I also agree with you," Harot replied, then he let out a rough breath. "What is proud of a person like him?""He's a really annoying guy. I feel like he's acting handsome after getting the attention of so many women and acting so casually," Hector grumbled once again.Harot couldn't argue with Hektor's statement. He nodded in agreement."Even when compared to me, I'm more handsome," Hektor continued his words in a very irritated tone.Harot didn't argue, but didn't agree. At that time he imagined how the plan of the two of them would work out.***"So, my purpose for summoning you all was... I wanted to let you know that I want to perform a demonstration of the magic items I created." Vincent spoke his words in front of the magic researchers.Suddenly the magic researchers that Vincent had gathered looked at each other. Some of them didn't expect it because it turned out that Vincent's goal of gathering the magic resear
Chronicle of the Returned King Sabotaged
"Oh, right!" Harot immediately smiled broadly. "Just try to change the position."Hector does as Herot says. So did Herot who then damaged the inner lining of the cooler in his hand.Vincent's other three tools were unhesitatingly dismantled by the two of them. Several times Hektor and Herot laughed with satisfaction every time they managed to tear, disassemble to move the mana stone, or pry some parts of the tool."I hope our plan on this one can work," said Hektor in between prying the bolt attached to one of the magic devices that can control the air.Hero nodded in agreement.After they succeeded in destroying the five tools created by Vincent, the two of them immediately left the room. The two of them waited until the show for Vincent demonstrating his tools arrived.And, Hektor's hope was true.When Vincent was just starting to demonstrate a tool, it failed. It won't work at all, it won't turn on, and it can't be l

New Objection
As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch. The fish can only helplessly squirms on Marion’s grasp.“That’s... You sure ‘that’ is a fish?” Question Salieri.“That no animal. That monster.” Rasheed readies his w

The Cure for Mephisto
“You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it

New Path
Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e

Lost in the Forest
They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest. Not only Pandora and the merfolks, the other coul

Tiryag Continent
Alex and his party continued their journey to explore Tiryag continent after they had enough rest. They came deeper into the forest until they reached the area where fog started to appear. The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he

First Obstacle
It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th

Two Merfolks
“Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri

New Arrival
It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour

Figure of Speech
“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
