63 Chapter 63: The Team 2

With eyes filled with anxiety, Derik sat down silently and wallowed in despair. It's not as if he didn't want to be honest with these guys whom he regarded as his teammates and friends, the thing is there are a few things even he can't reveal. Because doing such will only spell doom for them, making them a target of the number one noble family in the town. He could feel the gazes of everyone in the room on him and deliberated on what to say, after all, it wouldn't be fair to lie to them after they saved his life.

Seeing that Derik was lost in his thoughts, the others sighed and pitied him a little at this point, for someone to be hell-bent on keeping something a secret simply meant that there were a few more things which they are not aware of that is attached to the information. Like hell, they would have called off the meeting if they could but the team needed this to move forward, in just a year the nationwide adventurer's graduation exam will begin and they are yet to work as a team. What the heck, even now it felt like there were two factions in the group, Derik's and Cyrus' which shouldn't be so. This is a necessary action which will help them move forward as a team, it is absolutely necessary.

"Everyone Back in the oracle class says I'm lucky to possess a mid-level 3 star rated magic, Light magic… But they don't know it's a peak 3-star magic called the life magic…. You already have a rough understanding of what guardian spirits are, so I don't deem it necessary for me to speak on that further. The only thing I can say on it is, these guardian spirits are capable of influencing the actions of their hosts… I had a fair share of the experience when I awakened my magic a few years ago… And that's the reason I have always been against Derik since the day he exposed this power to us…

I planned on subduing him and the spirit in so as to make sure his free will is not stolen from him just like mine was for a time… and I failed, but after what happened today with him utilizing the power to that extent without the presence of his guardian spirit… I guess he's not been controlled anymore, but then… how did you attain control so quickly? Mine took months and even close to a year!" Cyrus finally spoke up

Hearing his words, Derik was snapped out of his chain of thoughts and stared at Cyrus for a while as he pondered on the appropriate response to give which seems reasonable. After a while, he finally shrugged off the wave of thoughts that passed through his mind and spoke

"I died…" He said

Those words were simple and straightforward, yet it took Kira and the rest of the team over a minute to process the meaning behind those words, even Karl was dazed for a while, asking if he heard wrong. Only accepting after Derik repeated those words a second time

"I died… on the night of the party hosted by the Lockwood family" Derik explained

Unable to control himself again, Gin was the first to cry out

"Wait! What the F##k are you saying?... We saved you from that spooky white-haired guy… what do you mean by you died… was it after we saved you or before" Gin asked.

Hearing this the others nodded in agreement, after saving Derik and leaving the Lockwood family castle, they quickly returned to Kira's family mansion, where they spent the night. After which the visited Derik's family on their way back to castle black the next morning, yes it did cost them a few silver coins but they were able to find out where Derik lived. As kids from noble families, they were shocked to see the extremely worried expression on the faces of John Angus and Linda. This was something they were not really used to since their parents never show such emotions in a bid to keep up appearances. This made them envy Derik slightly more than usual.

"It's a really, really long story… All I can say is this… I chased after two fleeing members of the Salvor family all the way to the town borders… At the forest surrounding the borders…. That's where I was killed… Was caught off guard… it was a simple mistake" Derik explained nonchalantly hoping they won't ask for details but what happened made him curse Gin silently

"HA HA HA!!! You chased after them and ended up getting killed by them… HA HA HA!!!... Come on man what the fuck! Were you high or something when you decided to chase them all the way to the borders just to get your ass whooped? What the F##k man!!!" Gin laughed hysterically

Hearing his words the others couldn't help but laugh as well, they tried to imagine what was going through Derik's mind when he chased after them. According to the report the Lockwood provided to the nobles, they branded the Salvors as vampires and blamed them for all that happened that night.

From their prior knowledge of vampires, these beasts were known to be supernatural beasts and one of the strongest as well, with almost infinite time to live its terrifying to find out how powerful a century-old vampire is. Capable of putting the famous nature mage of Briton town in such a condition.

Now, why would a recruit from the archery class chase after two vampires which were over a hundred years? Wasn't that been stupid? Even if he possessed a peak three-star rated magic, it's still suicidal! The only moment is that he was caught up in the moment and probably couldn't hold back his excitement so he decided to chase after them…

Watching all of them laugh, Derik simply remained silent with a reddened face swearing not to continue this discussion again in his heart

[Fuck the team!] he thought
