And so, a week has passed since my negotiation with Sam.
That day, after concluding our negotiation, I left to check the rival group. Luckily, the first group I checked has no mber of the cult. It was Sam's group biggest rival so it won't be strange if Sammy died because of that group.
After telling Sam that night, she told that she will take care of it. Seeing how she preserved Sammy in ice, it might be a while until she planned out everything. But I will trust her in how she will do it.
Funnily, when I got to Sam's base that night, a parfait already waiting for to eat. And a maid already waiting for my praise. When I told Lina I will co after I got the goods, she looked dejected.
Aaah! I want to praise her every day!
I went back to the brothel telling the girls' debt are cleared. The brothel closed again that night. And it hasn't been opened since the girls are focused to be stronger so they can be a hunter instead of sex worker again.
When I told Ruby about my negotiation with her daughter, she told that she built this brothel so the girls who fall into debt can pay their debt little by little. So when the debts are cleared, she found no reason to continue her business. Now it looked like this brothel changed into magic school since everyone were so enthusiastic.
So of the girls also has rare magic which hard to find. Like Sophie's lightning elent. If only she had enough resources, she would be able to pay her debt by doing so quests.
Although we still don't have enough resources, at least I can teach everyone to improve without using resources. Of course I only told them what Victoria told .
The day after my negotiation with Sam, I went to Angela's and Kayla's new apartnt and tutor them for the exam. Other than so magic theories, the exam include math, history, and language. Language is obvious because not many people can read, so if the student want to go to college, they must be able to read and write. Math is necessary to not be swindled when shopping, and history is so everyone knows common knowledge of the past. As for geography, sohow it wasn't taught in the first place so it's not included in the exam.
For the people in this ti, they don't need to know the location of another country. As long as they know their city, the cities surrounding, and where the capital is, they will be fine. It was until about 20 years later that geography was taught in school so people will know the boundary between countries. At least that's what I've heard.
Anyway, the test was finished and we all passed. Since this is my second life, I can pass easily. Kayla is smart enough that even if I didn't tutor her, she would be fine on her own. As for Angela, she barely pass the exam. She found it difficult to study anything not related to magic.
Well, that's all for the written exam. Next is magic exam.
For those who wanted to learn other things than magic, like how I aim to be a doctor, magic exam won't change the result for the exam. But if you do it well, you might get a recomndation to an elite college for magic and get magic resources and scholarship.
This magic exam wasn't important. There are three exams in one year so the most important one is the third exam since that's where the students is at their strongest point in their student days. And after that last exam, there will be another sparring event like last month, but there might be scouts in the audience to offer the students recomndation to their schools.
I told that to the girls and they choose to hold back during this ti. They each showing their weakest magic. Angela used her wind magic and Kayla used her Light magic.
As for …
"Summon! Black Sli, Blobby!"
The teachers not making any changes in their expression after I summoned Blobby. That's all I needed to show as summoner. Since the strength of summoner can only be shown by how strong their summons are, so when I summoned Blobby, the teacher already made their judgnt.
Then one of the teacher asked a question.
"Why is the na of your monster is 'Blobby'?"
"Because she's a blob. Another option is Bliy."
"Alright, next!"
What? Nothing else? He's just ask about the origin of Blobby's na? He doesn't want to ask why Bliy? Bliy!
In any case, my grade is already decided by the teacher. At least they know that it's useless to recomnd to magic college. At least with my grade, they encourage to go to dical college when I told them that's what I'm aiming for.
And so, the ti has co for to leave this city again.
"So? Where are you going?"
Kayla and Angela are curious about my destination. But seems like Kayla already had a guess.
"Cassau city."
"Cassau? You're going to the sea?"
"As expected of you. I already guessed what you're going to do."
Angela doesn't know what my goal is, but Kayla already guessed it.
Kayla knows because Cassau is a city next to a sea. It's also where most trade happened since it's where the harbor is and the destination of rchant from other countries who's doing business in our kingdom, Tatrama Kingdom.
I feel like this is the very first ti I thought of the na of this kingdom since I turned back in ti.
"Kayla, you know about it?"
"I don't know his destination is, but I can guess what he's going to do."
"And that is…"
""He's (I'm) going fishing.""
Both of us answered at the sa ti.
"What?"
And of course Angela is curious why I'm going fishing in another city.
"Do you rember that I had just get a partnership with soone?"
"If I'm not wrong, your partner is a mafia or sothing."
"Right. But after this mission on Cassau, I bet they will choose to be rchant since it's very profiting."
"You're going to trade fish?"
"Possibly, and also all other things that lay in the bottom of the sea."
"Since he can breathe underwater, he's going treasure hunting under the sea, where no one has ever tried to before. Not just because it's hard to find mage that can fight underwater, but also because of the monsters there. Most of the monsters under the sea are still unknown to us. We can learn from books and hearsay about shark-type monster, siren, and other well-known monsters, but it is presumably only less than 1% of what's hidden under the sea. It is an unknown territory."
Kayla kindly explained to Angela.
"What?! Why are we going there if the monsters are unknown?"
"What? You're thinking of coming along?"
"Huh?"
Huh? Angela seems to think that she will co along. Why does she think that?
"It is a totally unknown territory, so I don't suggest you to co along. In the first place, I want to go there alone. With Blobby/Victoria."
"Eh? Then what will I do?"
"You and Kayla can choose to do so quests like usual and improve your rank. And I'm asking you to teach the girls in Red Tail about being a hunter."
"Sure. I can do that."
It was Kayla who answered.
"Well… I can do that too. But I'm worried about you since you said that it's a totally unknown territory."
"Oh? You're worried about ? Don't tell that you have fallen for ?"
"No. You can leave. I will help the girls from Red Tail."
Her attitude changes too quickly. Does it an there's no chance for her to like ? Well, that doesn't matter since I already have Kayla.
"But are you sure you can find treasure at the bottom of the sea?"
"Yes. Think about it. Most trade to far places, are transported by ships. And even though we already have a safe sea route, it took us hundreds of years to finally found it. Before that, there are already many ships sunk because of monsters. Even today, although we have a safe routes, it doesn't an monsters won't attack. It's just a route where monsters are less likely to appear.
And so, where are the goods carried by the ships? They're at the bottom of the sea. Other than that, there must be another treasure I can get there."
"What treasure?"
"Resources. Since it's at the bottom of the sea, there should be magic resources for ice elent. Then if I find underwater volcano, there might be another one for fire elent. As for earth, maybe they are buried in a cave underwater. Ice, if I go to a place close to iceberg. There might be other, but that's the obvious ones. Many researchers already thought about it, but since the places they are located is difficult to reach, no one has ever tried it. But what about ? I have Air elent that makes able to breathe anywhere, Blobby who can change into any shape I want, my vision that can see through the darkness, and my Aura ability. Since if I trained Aura I could walk on air, what about underwater? Especially when water is much thicker than air. My Aura and Air elent should be able to make move well even underwater. So this is an experint for ."
"You're risking your life for an experint?"
"You should know it by now that I won't risk my life. If I can't do it, I would just give up. That's all."
"Roy. You forgot one thing. Underwater ruins."
"That's right! If I could find one, I can be rich in one day!"
Thanks to Kayla reminder, now I have one more thing to look forward.
After that, I return to Red Tail and tell everyone I'm leaving to Cassau. I also told the girls that they can learn from Angela and Kayla when I leave. Daniel about to cry when he realize I'm leaving again, but after I told him it won't be as long as before, he cald down.
That night, he hugged tight in his sleep.
