I’m in Cassau right now. Playing with the kids for a while. They are pestering to bring them to Monsters Village because it has been a while since they went there.
And that was because so spies, who are presumably from the cult, were spying on . I haven’t even been able to return for a while already.
"Sorry. Although I’m going to return to the Monsters Village after this, I can’t bring you with . Because I’m still in the middle of a mission," I said to the kids.
They understand it. After all, they’re all smart kids.
They have been living with us for a while already. Ever since Celestine joined us. Though that Celestine is now living more in Consenza than here. But she also raised another orphanage over there.
They know full well that we are in the middle of conflict. And they also know that we are trying our best to make sure that they won’t have to participate in this conflict in the future. That’s why after I said that I’m in the middle of a mission, they understood it and stopped asking again.
Well, that’s just for today. If I return back here again tomorrow, they will ask again. And they will at least ask once a day until I can give them what they want. Because they also know that I’m spoiling them.
After I had enough, I contacted soone to help with sothing. Julia from Varadis.
"Julia, I need your help," I said.
"Alright. What should I do?" She asked back.
"I’ll pick you up in five minutes. Then we will go to Monsters Village. I need you and Crabbe both to have a sparring session with . Two-against-one. So I can get so slight injuries from burn and physical damage," I said.
"I don’t get it, but I will do it. You can co here right now and explain why we need to beat you up," Julia said.
Since I got her permission, I left right away.
She’s in the middle of a conversation with old man Henry, her father and the king of Varadis.
There are also other people I have seen before. But I don’t rember their nas. They should be other old man Henry’s kids.
"So, why do you need us specifically to spar against you?" Julia asked.
"Actually, so people started spying on who was disguising myself as Robby. You can tell from what I wear, right? I was in the middle of a mission. Scouting on an orc’s nest. Then I tried to run away from the orcs when those spies sacrificed and left behind. I heard that they have returned back to the city. So I need to make it as if I tried hard to fight the orcs and managed to survive," I explained.
If I want to, I can kill those orcs easily. But I’m Robby now. So I need to be patient.
"I need to get real injuries instead of artificial one to convince those spies. There were several orcs. Including an orc wizard who can use fire magic. So, I need your fire magic and Crabbe’s strength to make the injuries seem real. And sparring is a good way to do it more naturally," I said.
Julia’s fire can be used to burn so part of my clothes. That will make those spies think that the orc Wizard hurt . And Crabbe, I will tell him to not fight with his magic. That will help with physical damage I receive since the orcs didn’t have any bladed weapon.
"Why ? Why not Candy? She’s also a master level fire mage now," Julia asked.
"I was just at Cassau before coming here. And she said that she was busy with sothing. So I asked you. If you’re not busy, you can help . The other option would be Fabio since he’s a master level fire mage as well now. But considering that he’s a king, he should be busier than you who is a princess. So I didn’t ask him. Also, you’re the strongest fire mage we have. So please help ," I said.
"Sure. Father, I will be going now," Julia said to her father.
Old man Henry just nodded. Then I opened a portal to go to Monsters Village.
I have already inford Crabbe about the spar via telepathy. And he agreed to help .
So as soon as we get to the village, we entered the Colosseum and greet Crabbe who has been waiting for us there.
"Since it’s to disguise yourself, I guess you won’t use your full power, right?" Julia asked.
"I will use Aura and air magic. Though for my weapon, it will be this blow gun. IT’s actually quite effective as lee weapon as well. I can hold it more easily than holding a gun. Though my gun is Victoria so I can transform her as I wish," I said.
"But you will still limit your strength, right? Well, good luck. Because I won’t," Julia said.
"That’s what I want. Now, shall we fight?"
As soon as I said that, Crabbe charged toward . He understood his role perfectly to not use water magic at . But that doesn’t an he won’t use it any other way.
He used two of his arms to shoot water behind him to boost his speed. Then he used his other two arms to try to hit .
I blocked his attack. But he quickly pulled back his right hand and punch right on the cheek. Now the bruise will be quite convincing.
I need to do it this way because I’m strong. And Crabbe is stronger than orc, so he should be able to give so damage to in a way that average mage will receive if they got hit by an attack by an orc.
Using the blow gun though, I covered it with Aura and swing it toward Crabbe who protected himself with his shell. Now that’s hard.
Julia then ca from behind Crabbe and shoot several powerful Fireballs at once. Thanks to the ga of tag, these two, and everyone else who have played it a few tis, have been able to cooperate with each other even better. Without having to talk at all about their strategy.
I swung the blow gun again to block the Fireballs, but so still reach . And that’s how I got so burn marks and got my clothes burned a bit.
I purposely get so more injuries. Using my own excellent recovery rate as Aura user, it will heal easily. Though for tomorrow, the injuries, although they won’t hurt, they will still be obvious. And I just need to act well tomorrow. Maybe I should run the whole night tonight and make myself tired on purpose tomorrow.
Fighting these two powerful opponents while holding myself back is hard. For these two, only Crabbe received damage.
He understood his role well in a fight. Protecting the others behind him with his strong body and armor.
So, although he got so part of his body damaged and his bones broken, Julia was still fine. Thanks to that, it ended with my loss.
"...Acting as Robby is difficult," I said.
"I’m sure it is. I’m glad we won, but I’m not satisfied since you’re not at your full strength. Next ti you ask for a spar, let’s do it for real and don’t hold back," Julia said.
"Crabbe, how are you doing?" I asked Crabbe.
"I’m in pain. But they will heal soon," Crabbe said.
He has similar regeneration ability like the werewolves. I want that skill as well.
Then I returned Julia back to her ho before I returned to the forest where I was being chased by the orcs.
There’s nothing for to do. But I should do as planned and wait here until tomorrow when I can return to the city.
I should reach the city in the morning. Because I heard that the spies were still there.
If I return and tell the truth that those two sacrificed so they could escape, the people in the city won’t let them do as they please. Even the inn they were staying at won’t let them stay if they learn how horrible those two are.
Well, that’s the script we will play. As for the master level earth mage though, we can take care of her later.
"Hmm... what should I do until morning then? Should I just sleep?" I asked myself.
"Since you need to look tired, how about do so training until morning? Keep swinging your sword until morning and that should be enough," Victoria suggested.
"I guess that’s one way to get tired while also get stronger. If I can get stronger though. Victoria, turn yourself into a sword as heavy as possible. I will swing you without using Aura until morning," I said.
"That’s sure to make you tired. Let’s do that," Victoria said as she transford into a sword.
Though I still don’t have a right hand. So I just swing the sword with my left hand until morning.
The sun is rising now. And it’s ti to go ho. Let’s see what the spies will do after they saw return.
