The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak

Chapter 246 - Resting


Chapter 246 - Resting

"The question is how confident are you in passing the promotion exam?" Yujin asked as he turned his head to Souta. He wanted to know if Souta could really pass the promotion exam. Because if he failed the promotion exam, he wouldn't be able to take the promotion exam in six months. That's the rule of the Adventurers Guild.

"I'm one hundred percent confident in passing the promotion exam," Souta replied to him. He didn't wait for Yujin to ask another question. "Don't forget that I'm a tamer. Yuko's strength is also my strength. We enhance our strength by eating those mana fruits. If we combine our strength at this moment, we could even defeat an ordinary B-rank adventurer and that is enough. It means that the combined power of ours is enough to rank us to B-rank."

That's if Yuko didn't use her blessings. Souta didn't want Yuko to reveal her ace. He wanted to hide it so that if he fought his enemies, they would be surprised by the power of Yuko.

He knew that someone was targeting him in the Hebrei kingdom after his information was pasted in the newspaper. That's why some of the researchers in the kingdom wanted him to become a test subject in their research. They wanted to know how he recovered quickly from taking two monster potions.

'Right, if those people knew that I'm trying to set up a legion, I'm sure that they will hinder me. Those nobles are a pain in the ass.' Souta thought as he forgot that he was talking to Yujin.

"Souta!"

He snapped out of his deep thought after he heard Yujin's loud voice. "I'm sorry, something just came to my mind." Souta apologized to Yujin and he asked what he was talking about.

Yujin sighed and asked, "I'm asking why are you sure that the combined power of Yuko and you are enough to pass the promotion exam?"

"As you can see... I brought back those mana fruits. It only means that Yuko and I finished filling ourselves with those mana fruits." Souta said as he opened his arms widely.

'He's still hiding something. There are many holes in his story. If he doesn't want to say it then I will not pry anymore.' Yujin thought as he turned his attention to the mana fruits in his palm.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. I wanted to know what's the dungeon that you have cleared yesterday." Souta said to them as he changed the topic of their conversation. The plan to expand his party wasn't complete. He will talk about it with Lumilia later.

"Here." He threw a pen to Lumilia and Yujin. Souta then went to the drawer and took out a huge map. He placed the map on the table and looked at the place of the dungeons that he drew before.

"I've cleared all these dungeons yesterday." He said as he crossed out five low-level dungeons and one mid-level dungeon on the map.

Lumilia and Yujin stepped forward. They crossed out the dungeons that they have cleared yesterday. It seems that it would take them five days before they managed to clear all low and mid-level dungeons.

"You'll clear dungeons today, right?" Souta asked as he looked at the two.

Lumilia and Yujin nodded at his question. That's what their plan, to begin with. The Lanny group already left the empire to clear the dungeons si they had to clear some dungeons too.

"We will have a meeting later with the Lanny group about the dungeons. I think we need to speed up our pace in clearing dungeons." He said as he looked at everyone in the eyes. "That's it for today, you can pick up ten mana fruits."

Everyone took ten mana fruits each including Cl.u.s.ter. They talk for a while before they went back to their room to prepare themselves for clearing the low-level dungeons.

Souta lay on the bed and closed his eyes. He was mentally exhausted as a lot of things happened yesterday. He needed to rest as he was quite tired.

...

Souta woke up after sleeping for five hours. It was enough for him. He stood up from his bed and hung the vajra sword on his waist.

"I wonder if Lumilia and the other are back." He muttered as he exited his room and went to Lumilia's room. His guess was right, they were already here.

"Oh? Souta..." Lumilia turned her head to Souta. She was arranging the loots that they've got from clearing low-level dungeons while Cl.u.s.ter was sleeping on the bed. Lynn was also in the room.

Souta entered the room and he sat in front of the loots. "Low-grade potions, low-grade weapons, and armors. There are also spellbooks and skillbooks." He muttered as he checked the loots.

He then looked at Lumilia and asked, "How many dungeons did you clear today?"

"We cleared six dungeons while Yujin's group cleared seven dungeons," Lumilia replied to him.

"Hmm..." Souta rubbed his chin and he glanced at his system. She was right, they cleared a total of thirteen low-level dungeons today. One low-level dungeon was equal to one skill point.

"We could clear more but some of the dungeons are already cleared," Lumilia said to him.

"It's natural. We're not the only adventurers in this world. Some of the adventurers are taking the material-gathering quest while some are taking the monster subjugation quest and some of them are clearing the dungeons like us to gather the loots inside it." Souta replied to her as he stood up and sat in a vacant chair.

"S-Souta... Can I have a spellbook there?" Lynn asked with hesitation in her eyes. She heard what Souta said this morning. All the treasures that they got from clearing the dungeons were his property.

"Hmm...? What spellbook?" Souta asked back as he slightly raised his eyebrow.

"Here. It seems that Lynn wanted to learn this spell." Lumilia said as she gave the spellbook to Souta.

Souta looked at the spellbook in his hand. "[Raise Shock]..." He muttered.

This spell was a support type spell that could raise the magical attack of a target by five percent. The target's magical attack would increase for five minutes. The user couldn't cast the same spell on the target as the effect wouldn't stock up. The user could only cast the spell on that target after the effect of the spell disappeared.

It consumed twenty mana points per cast.

"It's good... You can have it. You're planning on becoming a full support mage, right?" Souta asked Lynn after he read the details of the spell.

"N-No..." Lynn said in response as she lowered her head not daring to look at his eyes.

"Eh...? Why?" Souta was surprised when he heard her answer.

"Actually, Lynn knew some attack spell. In the institute, she hired teacher Sabrina to teach her." Lumilia said to him.

"I see... Well, it's good. Sabrina could rival an SS-rank adventurer. Her magic is powerful enough for people to call her Magic Caster of Destruction. You would learn a lot from her." Souta nodded and said to Lynn. He knew Sabrina as she was quite famous among the players as a beautiful and seductive mage.

In the past, Sabrina fought an S-rank adventurer on her own to a standstill. But that was in the past, her current strength right now was SS-rank.

She hasn't reached her limit yet. In the future, she was one of the people who would stand beside Yanagi Shina, a future god of the Hebrei Kingdom. She would become a Hero-rank just like Bargan in the fight against the Zodiacs.

Unfortunately, Yanagi Shina and her force would fall under the hands of the Zodiacs including her.

"But don't forget that you have a talent for supporting," Souta added.

"Y-Yes... Teacher also said the same thing. She said that I would shine if I become a support mage than an attack mage." Lynn replied to him.

"Just do what you feel suitable for you. But if you want to ask me, I still want you to become a support mage." Souta said to her as he stood up. He looked at them and said, "We'll call the Lanny group. I wanted to record the dungeons that they've clear."

"Understood." Lumilia nodded and she stood up. Lynn did the same thing.

The three of them exited the room leaving Cl.u.s.ter who was sleeping on the bed.

Souta called everyone to his room including the Lanny group. He said to Lumilia and the rest to hide the information about him getting the mana fruits. He doesn't want anyone to know about this. It was too soon for the Lanny group to know about the mana fruits.

He was sure that the Lanny group would report it to Jimmy. He had a plan in his mind regarding this so he will leave it for later events.

Lumilia crossed out the dungeons that they've clear today. The Lanny group did the same thing. They also crossed out the dungeons that were already cleared from the beginning.
