Chapter 154: Meeting with the Oracle

The top floor of the magician society building is a place that I have no access to during my tour here before. Only high ranking magicians can enter inside since even Voltaire and the others can't get in. Catmod can enter since he is one of the high-ranking magicians but the others who are already strong can just look at the top floor without any sort of access to it unless they are specifically called over.

Due to the mission given me, I can enter the place with the permission of the higher-ups. I am not sure why they specifically allowed me to undertake the mission but since they have given me this, I would not decline this one. Although I am worried about Anya's situation right now, all I can do is wait for another week before I can help her. Worrying will not do anything so I have to calm down and continue living in the meantime.

Arriving at the top floor of the Magician Society building, I saw Zacharias waiting for me. When he noticed my presence, he smiled and approached.

"Good day Kazuma. It looks like you have recovered your wounds just fine. Thanks to the info you relayed, we managed to uncover a new S-rank G.A.T.E.S. If left alone, this would prove a big threat to humanity. Since you managed to uncover the real identity of the portal after entering it, we managed to make some preparations to avoid great scales of danger happening especially due to the location of the portal that happened to be a school."

"Danger? Is there some kind of danger the G.A.T.E.S possess?"

"Yes. B-rank and above portals tend to be dangerous due to the possibility of the portal to link the real world and the world inside the portal causing the monsters to enter our world. Reducing the portal's power by killing the monsters inside helps stop the invasion of monsters. Since the S-rank portal is one of the most dangerous, we will try to send magicians of high ranks to clear the place from time to time. That way, the danger of the portal to connect with our world will be reduced greatly."

I just thought the G.A.T.E.S will only exist like that and can only be accessed by magicians but to think it can become one of the disasters, no wonder many magicians would prefer to find G.A.T.E.S and hunt inside than beat up some demons hiding with the society. As it turns out, if left untouched, the portal will open up and the different monsters will start invading.

"Now, do you know why the top brass allowed you access to the top floor Kazuma?"

"Is it about the mission I received?"

"That is one of the reasons but that is not the only reason. Come inside the room and we will discuss what we needed from you and why we choose you on this mission."

...

Entering the room, a huge round table with 12 chairs circling it appeared before me. I was kind of reminded of this on the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur seeing this but I am sure it is different. Besides, I am quite sure these twelve chairs represent the 12 councilors that hold the title of every zodiac.

"Usually, there would be the councilors sitting on those respective chairs but right now, they are dealing with some things so the only councilor that will meet with you is me. But that doesn't mean I am the only person who will meet with you. Although this person is not a councilor like me, she is regarded with respect by everyone. She is also the one who entrusted the mission to you."

After Zacharias said that, a woman who is sitting in a wheelchair entered the room. She was white, her hair is white, her eyebrows are white everything on her body is white. She looks like she has albinism. I was also surprised when I saw her pupils in her eyes. It was also white. So that means she is blind?

"Who is this?"

"She is the Oracle. She is the one hoping to meet you. I won't take part in the conversation so I will leave the two of you alone to discuss the mission entrusted to you."

Zacharias snaps his fingers before he teleported away to somewhere, leaving us alone in the room.

"You must be the rumored Kazuma Fukuyama who started to rack up different kinds of honors and feats from missions and some unexpected scenarios and did exceptionally well despite still a human. To think someone as you exist, that was beyond the scope of my clairvoyance."

"Clairvoyance? You can see the future?"

"I don't see the future, I predict it. Seeing the future means you will be able to see all the outcomes of the future, whether it is changed or not. I can only predict and give out thoughts on what will happen to allow the able people to do the job of either helping the future come to fruition or prevent it from happening. That is why they call me the Oracle," she said before she started to move around the room using her wheelchair.

"Now that you are here, you must be wondering why I gave you a mission despite the situation of your adopted dragon daughter after she saved your life..."

"That is the case. It was quite weird since most of the time, the missions I have undertaken are mostly volunteer missions and some unexpected missions that came along while I am on the area."

"Yes. The past months of you becoming a magician from plain human in just a matter of days is considered as a monstrous growth. However, seeing you here made me realize why..."

She stopped and raise her hands out. Then, all of a sudden, the black phone I am keeping in my pocket suddenly flew out before going straight to the Oracle.

"To think I will be seeing the Spirit on this phone. What a surprising thing."

To my surprise, Blue started speaking too in response.

"I greet the esteemed Oracle of this timeline. You seemed to be doing well," Blue said...

"It has been a while isn't it Blue? Are you sure it is the right thing to help this kid become a strong magician?" the oracle asked.

"He was a mediocre person when I first met him. Although he was extremely capable of adapting to magic, he is far too naive. But these past months, I came to realize that he might be fine and all of this. He already acquired two of the inheritance of the divine beasts and aside from that, he has the power of the dragon blood with him. He cannot revert to his human life and will have to become part of the magician world whether he likes it or not."

"That is why he has quite the luck and also the skill to survive most of that. Seeing his body, I can tell that he is getting there but he is still far from the tough magicians we usually see," the oracle said.

"Aren't you already blind due to the accident that occurred the last time? How come you can still see things without using the eyes?"

"I am the Oracle, my eyes might have been damaged but that doesn't mean I cannot see anymore. To me, my eyes are just an indespensable part of my body. If it is damaged, nothing I can do with it. Anyways, I think it is time for you to return to this boy again."

"Nice to see you again, Oracle. Be careful as always," Blue said before she returns to slumber. The oracle controlled my phone again and sent it to my hands.

"You know Blue?"

"Yes, I know her. However, I won't divulge to it any further if Blue did not reveal much of her to you. If you wanted to ask me, I won't be answering. But you can expect to see Blue say it if you are worthy enough to listen to her. Now let's go back to the discussion of the mission."

I didn't expect she will immediately change the topic. But I have nothing to do with her on that.

"Since you are going to be helping the dragon girl recover her Soul Energy, you will be going to the underground mall in Shibuya. The situation with the mission is about the Riot Massacre, a group of rogue magicians who made the place their turf. Lately, their recent actions seem to be getting more troublesome. We wanted you to check it out. Also, we heard that they are connected to the Crazed Phenomenon Disorder. I heard you already accepted a request from Maple on this but this time, I want you to undertake this quest too."

"Why me?" I asked.

The oracle smiled but she didn't answer my question
