“How can monsters enter the village?!” The villagers panicked. Rufus’s group tensed. Everybody knew that monsters couldn’t get into villages because there are wards installed. The only chances they could enter are only if those wards were destroyed. Which is obviously what happened here. “The wards… They’re broken…” Pierce mumbled in disbelief. The cadets immediately left the restaurant to look at the situation. When they reached outside, Prantas and Cassories were running around, chasing the villagers and making a mess in the village. “Waaarrkk!!” The Cassories screeched as they were making chaos. “Aaahh! Help!” “Monsters!” The villagers screamed. Some of them were running into their homes, some were hiding behind a cart, or even defending themselves with whatever they could. They were trying their best not to get hurt. “Ah! Duck!” Guinevere dragged Pierce down in time as a Cassory jumped at them. “Wark—ARK!” The freakish bird was immediately slashed by Rufus and fell to t
Guinevere followed the sound of gunshots and roars that led her deeper into the Southeast Forest. Her heart was beating fast with anxiety. Between getting lost and ambushed, she was also anxious that they would be punished for the chaos in the village.They were the ones who told Blondie to hunt a Bearon after all. And Guinevere had a thought that he must have aggravated the monsters in the forest somehow. She didn’t know if that’s true, but that what most likely to happen. And if it was, then it was their fault.'Is he dead?' Guinevere pouted in distress. Because if he was, it was also their fault.She started to think that testing the Blondie with Bearon hunt ‘alone’ was a bad idea. 'What if he's badly injured and he reports us to the teachers? But he's a nobody. So no one would listen to him, right? But he looks like he's close with Rean... And Rean is a star student, teachers praised him&helli
Terrence and Guinevere returned to the village via the same way the monsters the entered the village. The village’s condition wasn’t that much of a difference. It was still in chaos. Although there were more upturned wagons and broken fences, along with monster carcasses.Both cadets grimaced when they saw the situation. Then the plum haired one nodded. “Yeah. Nu-uh. You obviously can’t trigger those monsters. But Rufus obviously wouldn’t listen. He BELIEVED you did it. So, you’re still in trouble.”“Dang it!” Terrence sighed heavily, pretending to be very bothered by it. “Couldn’t this day get any better?”Then they heard a scream from our right. It was high pitched and it was asking for help.“Help!! Uwaa!”A little girl emerged from the corner of a house, looking all bruised and bleeding. Behind her, a Cassory was following her closely while pecking on her dirty blue dress from behind.With her clothes being pulled, the girl lost her balance fell to the ground with a yell. The Cass
“Blondie! Rufus, stop!”“No, Rufus! The village is still in chaos!”I could hear Guinevere and Pierce yelling from the side.Then I could hear clothes shuffling and Rufus said. “Let go of me! He needs to be taught a lesson!!”When I looked, Pierce was holding Rufus from behind. The four-eyed didn’t say anything, but it looked like he was trying his best to stop his leader from finishing me. His face was starting to get pinkish.I’m a bit surprised to see that Pierce got balls to stop that blue maniac. But I used this chance to get up.“I swear! I did not do it! I was looking for a Bearon like you told me to! I don’t know anything about the broken fences or monsters!” I said. I tried to make it believable.Rufus stopped resisting and glared his eyes at me. “Broken fences? So you knew the fences w
As we waited for backup to come, I split up with them and went to the chief’s house. But, I only found his frightened wife there who told me that he went to the restaurant. After I told her to stay put inside the house, I went to the restaurant.Sure enough, I found him there along with some scared and injured villagers.“Cadet!” The chief immediately came to me. “How’s the village’s condition? Do you know why is this happening?”“First things first, chief, is everyone here? I made sure nobody’s outside, but I haven’t really checked door to door. And your wife is by the house. I made sure she’s safe.” I told him.He nodded frivolously. “Ah yes, yes, thank you! Yes, everyone had gathered here after the monsters came. Your friend the blue haired guy protected me while I checked.”Huh. I didn’t think that guy would be quite nice to do that. But it’s part of being a cadet, so it’s not worth my compliment.I nodded at his report and went to check on the injured villagers. I knew I couldn’t
I cup my hands and blow my breath, trying to warm my face in the cold environment.“It feels like Alaska in here.” I mumble to myself.The universe is cruel for sending me to this body that has no resistance to anything whatsoever. In this world that is full of the unthinkable, the least that they can do is giving me some magic power to cast a fire. But no. Not only did I was taken here without my consent, they give me a body that weak he can’t even raise a sword without being nervous.I take my gun from the holster and reload it with fire bullets. Since this body sucks at magic, I have to resort to the most familiar weapon from my previous life: Guns. It doesn’t work on most monsters, but besides knives, that’s the only weapon this body can hold without being nervous. My aim sucks at knives though, hence the handgun.I wasn’t a sharpshooter, but I’m a fast learner. I can shoot with better accuracy now than I was in my previous world. But that’s only because I was preparing exactly fo
*** System activated! Would you like to play the tutorial? *** I just finished drying my hair when the notification came. It makes me gasp in excitement because now I can really know what exactly it is. I hang my blue Pingwy towel around my neck and sit on the bed to prepare for the experience. “Yes.” I said. The interface then expands. It shows me the galaxy and something that looks like a comet. It’s big, blue, shiny, and it’s flying across the galaxy like a shooting star. Then a voice speaks, boyish like but there’s a feminine tone in it, telling me a story. [Once, there is an entity that roams the world… It’s an unknown creature that goes from one world to another, searching for a host. When one has been chosen, it helps the host understand the world and everything inside it. The ‘System’ as your previous world call it, would help those in need of its power to reach greatness. And now… It’s helping… You.] I raise my eyebrows. ‘Kind of dramatic but still okay.’ The screen s
That night, I learned some interesting things that I’m sure would be helpful in the journey. I only slept for 2 hours after learning, because I spent the rest writing what I remember about the plot. "Ozzie." I said as I go to the mirror to fix my tie. Since I’m going to the end game with it, I have to familiarize myself with it. And the best way to start is by knowing each other’s names. I’ve tried asking its names but due to its travel from one world to another, it has a bunch of names that are very hard for me to pronounce. So I gave him the name of my dead dog. [Yes? How can I help you?] The system's boyish voice replied. I know it said that we can communicate through my mind. But this is a single occupant dorm room and the walls are quite thick. Unless I yell, no one would be able to hear that I'm talking to myself. Of course, the slight problem comes when I’m outside. But that's the least of my worry. "Tell me about Trading Points again."
