The three of them looked at each other, Wim, Art and the girl in the robe. It seemed they were still silent without a word being said
Wim: "uhmm, hi" while waving
for Wim, the right way to meet someone for the first time is to say 'Hi' to signal that Wim is not a threat
He knew this part from the Prologue, where when the player's character was running away from the bandits there would be a group of people riding an automaton horse cart. Where they would give the player character a ride
But there was something odd here, the one who should have met was a cart rider, not a woman in a gray robe
The girl started asking Wim and Art once again
The girl in the robe: "I say it again, who are you?" pointing her wand at the two of them
this time the girl asked Wim and Art about who they were while pointing her wand at them. He did this because he was in the phase of understanding what happened around the area
there were traces of a battle area that suggested that Wim and Art had fought someone, also supported by the presence of fallen bodies. Inj gave a reasonable reason for the robed girl to point her staff
Wim: "so actually there's-"
TIGGLE
Wim tried to say something to explain this misunderstanding, but he suddenly felt something from his Mana Detection. Footsteps were approaching them, and Wim knew whose footsteps they were
Bandit:" This is where you will die, you bastard!"
It was the footsteps of two Magus bandits who were chasing after the other bandits
One of the Mages cast a fireball magic towards the three of them in the hope of burning them alive
Wim:" Watch out!"
With reflex, Wim hugged the girl and Teleported to a safe place with her
Teleport
Another ability of Blink that no one else had ever realized was its ability to move objects and people in another direction on the condition that the user had to touch them in order to teleport
If Teleport is almost the same as Blink, then its advantages are also almost the same
Explosion
The fireball exploded and burned part of the former battle area so that the scattered corpses of the bandits were also burned
Wim, Art, and the robed girl survived the fireball attack thanks to the Blink skill.
Wim:" Phew, thank goodness we're safe"
...
Robed girl:" Um, can you put me down now? "
Wim:" Oh yeah, sorry"
The girl asked Wim to let go of her hug
Wim immediately let go of the girl, for a moment he saw the girl's face. She had a beautiful face with emerald green eyes
Robed girl:" Thank you, now I know what's going on"
Even without Wim explaining it, the girl could already understand the situation. Just by looking at the two Magus bandits and the remains of Wim's fight
Wim: *she looks very familiar to someone, is it just my brain that's having problems*
Amazed by the girl's sharp intuition, Wim felt that there was something familiar about the girl to him
Bandit:" Damn that brat! "
Bandit:" Then, take this!"
One of the bandits cast lightning magic instead of the fireball that failed to hit the three of them, hoping that it would wipe them out suddenly something happened
When the lightning attack almost reached them, the girl played her magic wand. Performing a chant
The girl in the robe: "freeze"
A crystal ice wall appeared in front of the girl and blocked the bandit's lightning attack. Even more surprising after being attacked by lightning, the ice wall did not have the slightest crack
Bandit: *Impossible!, even though it was an intermediate level attack*
Each magic has its own level, starting from low, intermediate, and high. The magic used by the girl and the bandit was in the intermediate level. Although the bandit's lightning magic was in the ordinary intermediate level, the girl's ice wall was in the upper level
After that the girl started playing her wand, casting a spell then a magic circle appeared from the ground. It was a floating magic called 'Levitate'
She floated above looking at the two bandits below to give them a feeling of intimidation for attacking her. The bandits below her were successfully intimidated by her aura making them look hesitant
Bandit:" How could we submit to this bragging little kid!" he shouted while casting lightning magic
Explosion
Lightning struck the girl and an explosion occurred causing smoke to appear. His lightning magic had been strengthened by adding another magic circle to increase its attack power in the hope that the girl would be destroyed into pieces
Bandit: "eh?"
Unexpectedly, after the smoke had cleared they were surprised to see the girl was still fine. Around her there were 6 ice crystal mirrors surrounding her, intended to protect her from the attack
Since when did she cast that magic?
those words came from the hearts of the bandits because they couldn't believe it
even though she had avoided the lightning attack, the robe that covered her had been torn apart afterwards. And there the girl began to show her form
Long light blue hair blown by the coming wind, coupled with her bright green eyes
Wim:" Impossible "He said when he saw the girl's appearance
Art:" Why? " He asked Wim, what confused him when he saw the girl
Wim knew who this person was, she was Luna Selene, the only daughter of the Selene noble family. One of the protagonists in the Victori Shard game
Luna began to cast magic and summoned a large ice crystal. The crystal was as big as a horse cart
Crack
Then a crack appeared from the ice crystal, it was intentional because it was breaking the ice into sharp fragments and floating one by one. Preparing a full attack
Bandit: "Why are you silent?! Quickly attack her!"
The bandits who were still silent began to launch their magic attacks to stop the girl's actions.
Explosion, explosion, explosion
Lightning and fireballs struck the girl, but none of them hit her. The Ice Crystal Mirror protected him from the bandits' magic attacks
Bandit: "Damn how can the ice not be destroyed?!" while continuing to cast his magic
seeing the bandits who were overwhelmed by Luna who was in the sky 20 meters high made Wim and Art look unnecessary
Art: "do we have to?"
Wim: "just let her cook"
Luna: "Take this!"
shuush
pointing her staff towards the bandits below, the ice crystal shards began to attack the two Bandits like a swarm of insects
Bandit: "Ack!"
Bandit: "Ugh!"
some of the shards hit the bandits' bodies, then their legs, then their hands, shoulders, and so on so that it was very difficult to explain. Their bodies were torn apart by the ice shards
The two Mage bandits were dead
Their bodies had been torn apart by the full attack, leaving some limbs intact
Wim:" This is too brutal" he whispered
Wim saw this very horrific sight, making him truly aware that this was not a game but a reality where if he died then it would be the end for him
Luna began to descend slowly from above
Duk
Luna:" Hey you, are they the only ones left, or are there more coming?"
She immediately turned towards Wim and began to ask if there were any remaining bandits still chasing her
Wim:" No, they're the only ones left"
All the bandits had been defeated
Luna:" I see" she muttered
after that Luna began to leave Wim and Art
Wim:" Eh, wait a minute where are you going?"
Luna:" I have to go there, they must be waiting for me" while pointing her finger up, telling something up there
Wim:" then I "Come on, let's go Art"
Wim who knew what he meant started following the girl together with Art
***
After arriving at their destination, the three of them were greeted by the caravan rider
Rider:" Oh, you're back, it looks like you've brought a friend"
Luna:" They're not my friends, they're just lost people who ran away from being chased by bandits"
Rider:" Bandits!, well I guess it's a good thing you managed to save them right"
After that short conversation, the three of them boarded the automaton horse caravan, the rider had calmed the atmosphere of the other passengers so they could continue their journey to Wissen Port
Smoke began to come out of the automaton horse's nostrils, indicating that it was about to move
Wim looked at the atmosphere inside the caravan together with Art who he was holding in his right hand, he also saw Luna sleeping soundly
Maybe because she was exhausted from using her magic earlier so she had to rest
And at that moment a message appeared
Wim:" A mission huh, I hope the mission is very easy"
[Starting Quest Episode 1, registering for the Academy Unio]
Wim's pupils dilated upon seeing the contents of the Quest
Wim:* WHAT THE F*CK! *
