Chapter 525: Small Chat with My Disciple Before the Battle

“The enemy will arrive in about three hours. Most of them are monsters. Sara, I want you to make guns using earth magic and give them to the air mages. Once the enemy arrives, I want you and the air mages equipped with guns to focus on the humans and monsters who seem to have weak defense. Jewel will fight upfront with her Beastform magic and lightning magic. As for Angela, you, Spot, and I will attack them from the flank,” I said to the three new arrivals

“I’ll do it right away,” Sara said.

As for Jewel and Angela, since their order is not immediate, they can take a rest. And with them here, I can have a chat with them as to not get myself delve in negative thoughts.

“So, Jewel, how was the tournament?” I asked my cute disciple.

“IT WAS AMAZING! WE WERE-”

“Wait, stop. Speak in lower volume,” I said to stop Jewel from screaming non-stop.

“Oh, right. We were doing great. I had a great fight with the expert level from Varadis on the first match. He’s here, right? It was a great battle. Kayla let me fight him one on one. The team from Varadis might have lost, but the expert level mage is strong! The fight was so great that I even got the best player of the match? that day!” Jewel said happily.

.....

“Best player of the match?” I asked. Does it mean there’s a reward in every match?

“Yes. It’s an award that only given on every team battle. As for individual battle, there won’t be such reward. And I received the rewad on the first match!” Jewel said.

“Oh, you’re amazing! As expected of my disciple,” I said as I rubbed her head to praise her.

“Hehe! I got complimented,” Jewel closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of my hand rubbing her head.

“So, what about the final? How did you win?” I said as I keep rubbing her head.

“Hmm... it was crazy. The opponents didn’t even care of how much injury they received and fought us like madmen. Thanks to Kayla’s instruction, we managed to gain victory. I even managed to defeat one expert level mage. Though the one who received the best player of the match award was Kayla. Well, that was to be expected though. It’s all thanks to Kayla that we can win the tournament,” Jewel said.

“It’s not just Kayla, right? If you didn’t participate, the situation will be different. It’s also thanks to you that the team can win,” I said while continuing to rub her head.

“Ehehe...” Jewel smiled delightfully after being praised by me, her master.

Although I taught many people about things I learned from the future, I treated only Jewel differently. Even though most of the things I taught her were taught to other people as well, I focused more on Jewel than even Kayla just because she thought of me as her master.

I’m happy that the result was great. Jewel can do many things on her own. And I’m proud to be called her master.

“And Angela, how about you? How was it watching the team battle?”

This time, I asked Angela. She has been here listening to Jewel’s story of how the team won the tournament.

“It wasn’t good at all. I mean it’s good that we won, but the enemy wasn’t good at all. They are only expert level mages. Even Veronica and Celestine back then, back when they just joined us, were still stronger than them. It won’t be a challenge for me. I should have joined you from the start instead of participating this lame tournament,” Angela pouted.

For someone like her, participating in a tournament where the result is obvious is not something that she want. For her, challenging powerful enemies are much better. She prefer to fight just one mohawk rather than facing ten expert level mages.

When I heard of the team battle, I told her that no matter what, she must not be included in the team battle. Because if she does, the audience won’t be able to enjoy watching a good fight as she could defeat everyone on her own. But if it’s an individual battle, it won’t be a problem even if she defeats her opponent right away.

And the reason that she has to participate in the tournament no matter what, even if we know that she will win it, is because of the previous tournament. The college tournament in Melk. Everyone knows that she is strong, and they want to see her perform to see if she can be the strongest mage in the continent or not.

If she’s lucky, she could face someone from our own team. Or maybe Celestine from Consenza, or Julia from Varadis. Maybe those from Arturo whom participate in individual battle are much stronger than average expert level mages. That’s why she will fight later.

Though in the end, she can’t endure her boredom and she entered the portal when I only invited Sara and Jewel. But that’s good for us as well, so it’s fine.

If she’s away from battle for too long, I’m afraid that she will lose her touch. Maybe I should get the others as well?

Well, I don’t think the others are as bad as Angela. They should be able to control themselves better.

“Since the enemies will come late, you can take a rest for now,” I said to Jewel and Angela.

“No thanks. I’ll fly around for a while instead. I’m bored,” Angela said as she started floating in the air.

“At least don’t go toward where the enemies are approaching!” I shouted before she takes off as I pointed my finger to where the direction of the enemies so she won’t go over there.

“I got it!”

And so, Angela flew into the opposite directions. I’m glad that she understands.

Sara is busy creating more guns from the rocks or other mineral she found. As for Jewel, she’s just here with me. She’s interested in hearing the battle from my own mouth, so I told her everything that I experienced in this war from the start.

Although many of the stories are boring since we just waited for them most of the time, she listened seriously. What a great disciple I have! I’ll give her some treats.

It was fun talking with Jewel as I finally hear that someone sees a mountain moving this way. That’s the tortoise we’re going to face. And someone reported that Angela is flying this wa as well as she finally returns from her flight.

“I can see it. That tortoise shell is huge. How was the size compared to Andro?” Angela asked me.

“I say that the shell alone is worth the size of Andro’s head. Are you going to fight it?” I asked back.

“Yes. Should I wear a mask to cover my face?”

“Yes. Although I’m not planning on letting a single one of them go, it’s best to get prepared just in case. If just one of them somehow escapes, and they sent a message to the fake king in the capital, they would realize that we’re actually planning to get them all,” I explained.

“Okay. The mask made of Blobbies are easy to use, so I’m fine wearing them. I was just asking,” Angela said as she wears the Blobbymask.

Sara and Jewel also wear them. But I still haven’t wear the Blobbyarmor yet.

“...With their marching speed, it will take another hour before they arrive. We can see the giant tortoise because it was so big. But they are not that fast. Should we go greet them, or should we wait?”

I asked for everyone’s opinion here.

The Werewolves and the angry angels suggested to greet them. The vampires don’t care as they don’t like the monsters’ blood. Especially if those monsters have been experimented. So, only the humans’ opinion are left.

I purposely ignored the modified monsters on our side. Their opinions won’t matter as they are only newbies here.

“Waiting them here is good since we can prepare traps. Though the enemies are mostly monsters, so the traps might not be useful at all,” one of the soldiers said.

“Let’s go toward them instead! The waiting is killing me!” another soldier said.

...Those soldiers have started to speak casually toward me. On the first day, they would speak to me with respect. But now that I have chatted with them, they started to think of me as someone they can treat however they want. Well, I don’t hate it though.

After getting everyone’s opinion, most of us decided to attack instead of waiting. I also agree with them.

“Okay. Let’s go. Angela, Spot, and I will quickly go toward their back. As for the side, the werewolves and the vampires will go. The angels will mostly heal the injured. Again, let’s make sure that none of them escapes,” I gave the order to march.

And so, Angela and I rode on the back of Spot’s head toward behind the enemy line.

Since Spot is using his camouflage skill, the monsters didn’t notice us at all. Just like that, we reached behind the enemy line to stop them from retreating.
