While shaking with a gata~ goto~ sound, a single carriage advanced along the highway.
The speed of the carriage pulled by the 3 normal horses was fast. A person wearing a Mage robe could be seen sitting in the driver's seat, holding the horses' reins. A man dressed in armor with a sheathed sword placed on his tight was sitting next to the mage, watching the surroundings for surprise attacks from monsters.
And inside the carriage,
''Uwa~, it is warm. When were these bought Big brother?" Gracier asked because, on their way to the meeting place, they did not buy any cookies.
''Ah, I brought them on the day I went running some errands.''
Alex explained as he also took a cookie and ate it.
''Oh, it smells good. May I have one?''
''Sure. You should also try Meera, they're quite delicious.''
Meera seemed to have been lured by the smell and involuntary carried a cookie to her mouth, she was not the only one though, Conrad, and Eleonora also tried some.
''Oh, it really is. How envious, space ring is great. Being able to eat freshly baked cookies at any time.
''No, I don't think it's normal to use a space ring in this way.''
To Meera's words, Sebastian answered, dumbfounded. Alex chuckled while inwardly sharing the same thought, women and their mentality.
Well, he was his fault to begin with, if he hadn't taken out the cookies, Meera wouldn't have said that. He held out a dish holding the remaining freshly baked cookies while smiling wryly.
''Want to try some?"
But Sebastian looked at the cookies placed on the dish and shook his head.
''Sorry, I don't like sweet food.''
Alex could only shrug his shoulder seeing Sebastian not partaking in the cookies feast.
In response to Sebastian, who refused, Conrad happily stretched out his hand to grab a cookie before carrying it to his mouth.
''Mm, it certainly is delicious.''
Unlike Golfak, who was feeling the tension in the driver's seat outside, it was rather laid back inside the carriage.
Compared to yesterday when Meera was being silent, today she was talkative.
''Meera how does your continent look like?"
To Gracier's question, Meera smiled beautifully, she couldn't hide the pride she felt for her hometown when she started talking.
''It's the most beautiful of all continents. There are gigantic trees everywhere, beautiful birds, our houses are beautiful too. Ah! I miss home.'' Meera said with a look of longing.
''Wonderful, I will visit it someday,'' Alex said
while Gracier nodded her head happily when she heard this news.
Chuckling Eleonora inquired, ''You are feeling nostalgic. Why do you leave in the first place?"
Meera's eyes deemed for a moment, smiling bitterly she said, ''Well, stuff happens, it's complicated.''
It was all she said not going into details.
'There must a story being her leaving home.' Alex thought.
While carrying cookies to his mouth, Rei spoke up to Conrad.
''Is there a time limit for the completion of this subjugation request?"
''Normally yes, but this time no. Take your time to complete the request. Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the village of all the monsters, though.''
Conrad explained, Alex nodded his head pleased that there was no time limit or else it will be difficult, there will be more than 30 monsters occupying Gato's village.
''There is something I want to know.'' Meera suddenly said, glancing at her Alex said,
''Go ahead.''
''Aren't there at least 30 monsters? It seems a little difficult to take on that many opponents with 7 people.''
''No, not really. After all, we'll be able to mount a surprise attack as we are the attacking group. However, whether we can launch a surprise attack or not depends on whether we can work together.''
To Meera, who was murmuring anxiously, Alex explained.
What Alex said was not wrong, if they work together and coordinate well, they will be able to successfully pull through. Let's not forget that they Mages among them, Mages firepower are no joke.
''That's true. In fact, Conrad said that the participants in the test this time were quite good. In the first place, a party of 7 where 4 can use magic is considered quite powerful.''
Sebastian overheard Alex and Meera's exchange and told them that with a wry smile to relieve her tension.
''By the way, I can use spirit magic and the driver, Lucien, can use wind magic and healing magic, Eleonora: Wind and Water magic, as for your sister it's Fire magic, what magic can you use Alex?''
She might have had some interest as in the mock battle the day before, Alex had only used the knives in combat. Meera leaned forward and asked.
The other people except Gracier seemed interested in knowing which magic Alex can use.
Smiling bitterly, Alex responded ''Sorry, I can't use magic.''
''Eh??"
Both Meera and Eleonora said surprised. Even Conrad seemed a little bit surprised, Sebastian was also surprised. Even himself or Golfak could use Wind Magic to some extent, albeit weaker ones.
''I thought that your movement skill is Wind-related skill?" Eleonora asked if it's true then does it mean Alex can be considered to have an affinity with the Wind element?
Shrugging his shoulder Alex replied, ''I don't know, however as I said, I can't use magic.''
'How odd. He said that but he possesses a frightening amount of magic power.' Meera inwardly thought as she scanned Alex with her eyes.
Eleonora also found Alex's words odd, how can he possesses such an amount of magic power and says that he could not use any magic? It's odd.
At the time of the rank-up test meeting the day before, when Meera saw Alex with his sister enter the meeting room, she could feel that his magic power was the greatest she had ever seen. Because of that, she was tense in the meeting room, ready to escape at any time if need be.
Was she wrong thinking he had frightening MP? No unlikely.
'In fact, Alex's amount of magic power is not normal. Or his Rank is 7? Unlikely. Normally, humans with Alex's rank can't have that much magic power, or is he not human? I see, it possibly could be that. However, at the very least, mutual understanding is possible and there's no need to be hostile, it's good that he seems friendly enough, at first I was scared of him.'
While observing and evaluating Alex in her mind, at the very least, she calmed herself down as the possibility of him harming them was low.
As for Meera, compared to 20 or 30 monsters, she felt Alex's risk was higher. However, the stress gradually disappeared as they continued conversing.
If Alex knew what was going through Meera's head he would have facepalmed while saying,
'Girl what do you take me for I'm not that dangerous.'
Meera was now glancing at Gracier why also thinking.
'I don't their history if they are real siblings but this sister of his is also a freak. The amount of Fire spirits around her is frightening, she can't see them yet her control over Fire was so perfect that one could not help but wonder if she is the child of Fire. If she could see the spirit, her power will skyrocket alas it seems she can't, why I wonder? Probably because she has God's benediction (Gift). Sigh! If it's true then no wonder, her God's benediction must be of the highest level. Those siblings are freaks, I can't wait to see what Alex's God's benediction gonna be. I need to befriend them.'
Gracier noticed Meera staring at her weirdly, therefore she asked, "Meera, is there something on my face?"
"No, not at all." Meera hastily replied as she had finally noticed that she was staring too intensely at Gracier.
On the side, Eleonora couldn't help but smile when she noticed the look of interest Meera started giving Alex and Gracier.
'It seems that her curiosity got picked.'
Eleonora murmured before continuing to chat with others.
