Chapter 137

[Mission Duration, Avilat Gambling House, Red Mission, Demon Slaying]

After mastering [Steps of Light – 1st Step].

Lunatic’s Chief. As Luna approached me, I checked the message once more. As soon as once more, the message was easy.

“Through the mission interval, disguise within the playing corridor in Avilat and slay the demon……?”

The message was sparse, however not obscure.

Furthermore, I used to be fairly excited as a result of it was the beginning of the much-anticipated second episode. This time, there’s surprisingly nothing life-threatening to do.

After all, there are plenty of variables that would unleash some kind of disaster, however at the very least primarily based on my data of the sport.

The probabilities of a variable occurring in episode 2 are extraordinarily slim.

‘Whew.’

I catch my breath.

I understand it’s lastly right here.

If one of many flowers of the Academy’s waters is the teachings and the catharsis that comes from studying them, shouldn’t we flip outward to capitalize on it?

To that finish, the Internal Lunatic has a [Mission] system.

Not solely in Lunatic, nevertheless it’s a system used all through the Archheim Empire, with yellow being the least troublesome.

Black is the best problem mission.

The precise colour and problem of every mission is as follows

Yellow < Pink < Blue < White < Black

‘For instance, beforehand, Grine’s Chasers was yellow.’

Even missions with griffins are thought-about yellow.

Because of this you possibly can’t simply grow to be a knight or mage.

They’re too laborious.

In different phrases, my mission was a better crimson than that.

Nonetheless, I used to be starting to suppose there was no cause to be nervous. It was for comparable causes as earlier than.

The only best technique to get via the second episode?

It’s within the cash.

The nook of my mouth twitched.

“I’ve already made sufficient cash to rot. So long as it’s not Eleanor, I’ll be proper subsequent to the imperial household, and I’ll be superb.”

After all, that’s all due to the income generated from the majority gross sales of the demonic supplies. It’s laborious to imagine that we’ve managed to stabilize our belongings.

And with different service provider teams coming in, it’s laborious to keep up this revenue margin.

However I’ve a method.

It’s referred to as successful cash at playing.{1}

Some could say.

Are you loopy? Playing, what sort of playing would Nox, who has been such an asshole, do?

(Minchin)

You would possibly say.

However there’s part of me that believes in it.

‘Luck stat 10!’

I’ve a Luck stat of 10, and it doesn’t work in playing?

That may’t occur.

Not less than not in response to my data of the sport!

“Lastly, the freshmen are off on their first assignments.”

Lars declares, turning to the assembled instructors and professors. He appears on the dean.

They have been in the midst of a school assembly.

Dean Noah, the brightest star, in fact, doesn’t look too .

She appears like an underachiever who desires to go house proper now. The lollipop in her hand was proof of that.

The opposite instructors coughed in useless, however Noah didn’t even appear to listen to them. Hagiya, she’s such a free spirit, it may’t be helped.

By now, they have been fairly used to his habits, in order that they weren’t shocked.

Lars, feeling the strain of being the pinnacle professor, cleared his throat.

“I’m particularly enthusiastic about this freshman class. There’s a lot expertise right here.”

“Yeah, all these soiled good-looking guys. And the gorgeous women… each single certainly one of them.”

Vernon defined that solely the lads have been ugly.

Ladies have been stunning.

It’s blatant sexism, however nobody calls it out.

“I used to be shocked that some individuals had already signed up for crimson missions.”

That mentioned, the temper of my celebration isn’t too dangerous.

It’s simply that it’s too …… gentle.

“Noble Lord, why on earth ought to I observe you? No matter, it’s a trouble.”

“You recognize the geography of the East higher than anybody.”

“That’s why I hate it a lot, the peculiar ambiance. Darkish and dingy… and damp smelling. Do you perceive that’s all there’s to this place?”

“Come on, guys… let’s not struggle a lot and simply have a look round. It’s form of good, isn’t it? It’s humid, however at the very least there’s open nation throughout.”

“Isn’t it…?”

Leon and Talia chatted as they rode within the carriage.

However they don’t understand it.

What does it actually imply to have such an open terrain.

It was Eleanor who defined it to them.

“I’m sorry to say, however having a big perimeter and with the ability to see far into the space shouldn’t be a great factor. In different phrases, it implies that you’re …… in a great place to grow to be somebody’s prey. That’s what it means.”

“Huh… Nox… is that what you’re saying?!”

Talia exclaims, clinging to me in horror… however I solely nod.

“Yep. There’s a bunch coming now.”

The 5 of us, in a wagon that may maintain six, head for Avilat.

As with most video games, although, you shouldn’t anticipate the celebration to be left alone whereas touring.

Bandits, no matter.

Somebody with evil intentions is sure to assault.

-Bandits!

-Defend the scholars of Eldain!

-Rattling it! Purchase us a while! There should be at the very least twenty of them…….

“Hey, commoner.”

I couldn’t assist however name out to Paracelsus.

Paracelsus replied dryly.

“My lord, are you able to cease calling me a commoner?”

“Certain. Commoner, go and assist.”

“Why ought to I?”

“If one thing troublesome occurs like this and my horse will get damage, I’ll need to stroll.”

Paracelsus was horrified by my vanity.

However had I mentioned the mistaken factor, or was I simply being judgmental?

He had no alternative however to stand up from his seat.

I’m proud to say that he’s beginning to hearken to me extra as of late.

Leon and Talia additionally stood up and seemed exterior.

They’re good-natured models, in order that they should be making an attempt to assist individuals.

I sit nonetheless and watch.

It’s not like they’re going to be attacked by a bunch of bandits anyway.

All I’ve to do is loosen up and all the pieces can be superb.

I cross my arms and shut my eyes.

Out of the nook of my eye, Eleanor’s wide-eyed gaze catches mine.

“Nox, aren’t you coming?”

“Why would I?”

“…….”

I must be proud.

Since I’m now Nox, it’s solely proper that I shouldn’t regret.

I ought to get some relaxation.

With that thought, I closed my eyes.

Eleanor and her companion, Zitri, let loose a small sigh as they realized that they had lastly did not cease her grasp’s deviant habits.

At first they glared at one another like they have been going to kill one another. however now it looks like the space between them has decreased significantly. Perhaps it’s as a result of they’re cursing the identical individual.

Perhaps it was…….

The boar-like creature preventing on the market. More than likely Paracelsus.

Positively not Nox.

No, for the hundredth time, it’s not me.

Perhaps…….
