Chapter 308: How will this work

After a while he finally got the ball to the right size and was able to start compressing again. This actually caused his speed to be faster than it had been when he had been growing the ball. Getting the ball to the final size Lake dissipated it while congratulating himself for rewatching his goal.

After the tip given to him by the guy who was currently fighting in the ring Lake had made fast progres so he needed to remember to ask for this guy's name in case he ever needed help in Wind magic again. He always forgot and for whatever reason people in this world didn't seem to be too keen on telling you their name unless you asked.

He was guessing this was just one of the small ways this world differed to his since your name could be used as a way to have you killed if they gave it to the Assassins guild. There were probably other bad things they could do with a name that he didn't know about so he understood why people did this and it was only a problem because he forgot to introduce himself all the time.

He also needed to ask if they would be going on the trip or just happened to go to the meeting. If they were going it would give him a better chance of having people around to make the trip less boring. He would most likely be in a cart with the Temple Head since he was the guid but if that didn't happen he could end up around people who treated him like a nuisance like the group he had been walking to the Metal Domain with.

He knew that had probably been because they were busy and he wasn't helpful to their group in any way they understood but that could be true for the people he was in a cart with as well. Deciding the fight that was going on on the stage didn't seem close to being over he started on the other training method he knew.

Forming the small vortex out of wind mana Lake started to think back to how exactly he had been doing this exercise. He was pretty sure all he had to do was slow down the vortex before making it go as fast as he could in a pattern but he wasn't sure if that was exactly how you were actually supposed to do it or if that was just how he had figured it out.

The aura was actually strong enough that it made him worry about being able to plant it somewhere without anyone noticing when it popped up all of a sudden. He had it in his bag which was able to hide the aura completely but that would change as soon as he took it out and placed it somewhere for the group to find so he felt he couldn't just go around a corner and pull it out.

He needed to find a way to get far enough away that he could plant the dagger while making it seem like he hadn't just run off to plant the Dagger which meant he would need to be captured or something. Then he could save himself but tell everyone it had been a guy named Jon who gave him a dagger and said he had been meaning to give it back.

Right after he thought this he decided it sounded stupid and no one would believe it so he tried to think of something like that that was believable. Tiff though Jon had the dagger so using his other identity wasn't a bad idea he just needed to let them see him like that which he could do while they thought he had been taken and then after he could hand over the dagger before disappearing again and going back to being captured where they coil save him.

Happy with this plan, Lake was about to stop thinking about it when he remembered how dangerous it would actually be to be captured by the Demon Worshipers. If they had him they could curse him to be loyal to them forever. This meant he couldn't go back to them afterwards to let the people from the Temple save him.

He needed to make it seem like he escaped on his own before the Demon Worshipers had been able to do anything to him and were able to make it back to them. Actually it would probably just be better to go back to the Temple and say he could find them in all the chaos. Wait no that didn't make sense since the Temple Head had seen him track people down on multiple occasions so he needed to reappear just not right after Jon disappeared.

It would make it seem weird especially since it seemed Tiff had already thought he was Jon for some reason in the past. This could easily reignite her suspicions which might get passed on to the Temple Head. He also needed to find a reason why Jon would show up all of a sudden after them not being able to find him for a long time.

"Looks like it's your turn first." Hearing the other guy in the line say that it was his turn, Lake looked up to see the guy he had made plans to fight send the other guy flying with a punch to the chest. Getting up Lake was about to go onto stage but the guy he was going to fight started to get down and Lake stopped in case they had been hurt and couldn't keep their promise. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I just need to take a second to let my mana come back. I used quite a few spells there. It will only take a few minutes though so don't go anywhere." Hearing their duel was still on Lake decided this was a good time to ask for the exact rules so he did. "How will this work?"The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
