Chapter 123 - Mythical Creature are 'Mythical' for reasons

The three girls get into their house and while Sylvia went upstairs to her room, Sheila and Ria also followed right behind and went into their room to take a break. After running for the past few minutes, Ria was dead tired even though her stamina has improved much better than a normal a.d.u.l.t. While she was laying her back on the bed, Sheila just finds a seat near the table where they used to study before pulling her phone out to browse into the system. She was pleased with the reward from the quest and the fact that she leveled up from it, even more when she could see a cute little slime within a new category 'Tamed Monster'.

While Sheila was all smiley while browsing through the system, Ria suddenly asked her the question she was wondering till now.

"Hey, Sheila."

"Hmm?"

"You said that the power the White Tiger showed off before was not its full strength right?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then how strong do you think if the White Tiger used its full strength?"

Sheila took a moment to consider as she put the phone on the table.

"Well, I'm not trying to exaggerate this but, one of them is enough to wipe a city off the map with one swing of their full strength. And the four mythical beasts used for the formation was merely something like a clone since it used a little of their blood instead of an actual mythical beast. I bet a real one could literally sweep the country off the map with just a breath from them, actually, that's really scary now that I think about it."

"That is...definitely a scary thing for sure."

Just thinking about it caused her to sweats internally at how ridiculous powerful a mythical beast is, but then again, they won't be a 'mythical creature' if they were actually weak with nothing special about them. Sheila was even tempted to find an egg of mythical creature to tame but that was definitely impossible, the world would have not been at ease if such existence exists, after all. While Sheila was wondering about that, a sudden thought suddenly struck through her mind like a flash of lightning which caused her to brighten up.

Can I power leveling my slime to the point that it could reach a mythical rank if its level is high enough? I don't know if it has a level limit yet but this could be put on a test later on.  While Sheila was considering spending some of her time power leveling her taming slime, Ria suddenly asked her a question that brought her back to reality.

"Oh, I remember that you said you had shown yourself to Angelica?"

"That I did, yes. I was very fl.u.s.tered at that particular time that I forgot I had a disguise skill, it was only when I completed the quest and the member of the church had both of us surrounded that I remember I do have such skill. Thankfully they haven't seen my real appearance and I have also changed my voice afterward."

"So, what did you tell her? I'm sure that girl would ask what your real identity is, knowing that you were supposed to be a 'normal' classmate of her yet that 'normal' classmate somehow came at a good time to save her from the monster that they couldn't possibly win."

"She did, actually, she also fired a few shots at me before she even asked that though. If I was a normal person there, I would have been shot to death there and then, you know?"

"Oh? She actually shot you with her gun?"

"I was surprised you know, I didn't expect her to pull out a gun on me, her savior, and immediately done that before asking her question. I was a little upset there but I guess it was understandable that she might be in confusion when someone who looks exactly like her classmate suddenly appeared to her rescue, that I understood but still..."

Sheila frowned as she remembers Angelica pointing the gun at her right after firing a few shots and all this happened before that girl actually asked her about it.  It's like that girl was cautious around me for some reason I didn't know, perhaps the world she lives in was not as kind to me? Like if she ever took down her guard, the 'hyenas' within the supernatural world(someone like her) would 'consume' her without a doubt? Is that it?  Or so she thoughts before heaved a sigh and said.

"Anyways, I told her I was some sort of 'magician' to her which is true as I can actually use the magic of my own."

"Did she actually believe that?"

"Well, I actually showcase her one of the spells from fire magic, fireball, right in front of her. She was very surprised when I conjured a ball of flame out of nowhere, floating above my palm before I throw it above as it exploded in the sky like a beautiful firework."

Ria nodded her head in an understanding manner while internally thought,  if you had done the same to me instead of 'teleporting' me into the Trial Tower, that would have been great. After all, you had just sent me, a normal me, to a world where I had to fight for survival with no ability of my own. I was also pretty upset back then but that's the past.  With that thought in mind, Ria remembers that in school Angelica seemed to act the same as always around both of Sheila and herself after such an occurrence happened between them. That was why she had forgotten about it when Sheila had told her the day when it happened, it was only now that she remembers when she was browsing through her mind.

"Oh yea, did I tell you about me learning a taming skill and that also has tamed a slime?"

Suddenly Sheila brought a topic Ria didn't expect as one could see from her expression alone. Sheila chuckled in response before pulling out the rune note out of the inventory before throwing it in front of her after inserting a tiny bit of mana into the note. Where the note falls, rather than note, it has now turned into a single small jiggling slime stood on the place. The surprise and shock on Ria's face brought a great relish to Sheila as she grinned but not before when she noticed a dark aura surrounding her best friend.  Oh no!
