The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 319: Leaving Varadis

It has been three days since the battle against the cult members inside the capital of Varadis Kingdom. I have to say that old man Henry is a wise king. He managed to calm the people down, and blame everything to the cult. He even blamed his own children for joining the cult in front of the people and harshly decide their punishment.

Thanks to that, the hatred that was aimed for the old man Henry originally for letting the cult run amok, turned into pity. They think that he’s a good king and now know why he hasn’t decided an heir to the throne. His children are mostly unfit to rule. And everyone then helping each other in rebuilding the capital.

The cult members in the capital has been taken care of, but we don’t know what happened in other cities. Are there more people who joined the cult? We don’t know.

Though old man said that he will take care of the rest, together with his children who hasn’t joined the cult but interested in the throne. This will also be a test to see if any of them are fit to be the next king.

And seeing how he harshly decide a punishment to their siblings who got caught, I don’t think anyone dares to betray his trust again.

This is the conversation that happen when old man asked his children to take care of other cities in the kingdom:

“So, I want each of you, other than Julia, to leave the capital. I want each of you who has ambition to be a king to prove to me how well you can rule a city. And even if you don’t want to be a king, at least show the people in that city that you are fit to be called as member of the royal family. Find any cult members, and kill them. No mercy toward those who have joined the cult. This task is also dangerous as we don’t know if there are more expert level mages in other cities. If any one of you made a contact with the cult, report to me as soon as possible. If you decide to join the cult, I will make sure to send someone to kill you. That’s all. As for where you will be sent, I’ll think about it after the reconstruction of the castle.”

.....

That’s what old man Henry said to his children.

By the way, I know this because I was told to hide and listen to the conversation.

“Why is Julia staying? Don’t tell me that father want her to rule this city?” One of the siblings asked in jealousy.

“No. It’s because she’s an expert level mage. I want her to protect the capital since we are at our weakest while you are all gone.”

Hearing that their own sister is an expert level mage, everyone is surprised. The funniest part is that they all have the same expression as princess Julia when I told her many shocking stories. I can see that they all blood related. If Celestine was there, I bet everyone’s attention then would be focused on her.

“Brothers. Sisters. I don’t want to kill any of you, so there must be no more betrayal among us. Is that clear?”

Her siblings nodded after princess Julia said that. The hierarchy here has been updated with princess Julia sit at the highest position after the king. I wonder about the queen? I’ve never seen her. Maybe she has died? Well, that doesn’t matter to me. It’s their family matter.

Anyway, that was what happened between the royal family. or at least what’s left of them.

Next is my clan members. They helped with rebuilding the capital. But only after all of them are not busy with school or other matter.

I told them that they just need to stay in Cassau, but they won’t listen. So, I told them that I will only open a portal for them twice, so they need everyone to be free when I open a portal. Then I will return them back home before dinner so Lina can prepare them the meal.

Because of that, Shirley and Angela who have classes in Tatrama’s capital can’t help us. They just send their regards. Though Albert visited here from time to time to teach old man how he handles the cult in his own kingdom.

As for me, I changed my profession. I who was just an Aura user, changed into Aura User Construction Worker.

“Why did I end up becoming a construction worker!?”

I shouted loudly in old man Henry’s office room.

“Why? Well, it’s because I told the others that the city needs to be rebuild. They will rebuild the city, but for the castle, I told everyone to not mind it. There are some kind people who wanted to help, but I refused. I keep telling them to ignore the castle until their homes are repaired. And I will have someone fix my castle at the time. That someone is you. You should be honored. Now, don’t be noisy. I’m too busy. I also need to pick someone to be the Prime Minister. What a disaster...”

That’s how I ended up becoming as construction worker. Though thanks to Celestine’s help, the castle was fixed in just three days. Earth mages are the best for building somethings. And it’s even better the higher their level is, and how good they are in magic control. Thanks to Celestine, the castle is now sturdier than before. I’m just here for some muscle works.

Not just we’re fixing the broken part that Spot destroyed, we also reinforce the whole castle and making new passages for the king. In the end, we had so much fun building new passages that old man told us to stop.

“Enough! The castle has no more need for too many passages!”

“I just made two new ones. The rest were already there so we fixed them up.” I replied.

“...just how many passages did my ancestor build? Anyway, aren’t you in a hurry? You need to go to Arturo as fast as possible. There’s a chance that the whole kingdom has fallen, and each city is filled with powerful mages. We don’t know if that Harold is still alive or not.” Old man said.

“Not yet. I’m going to teach your daughter some new tricks before I leave. Although portal is useful, there’s a chance that I might use it many times just like that night. I don’t have as much mana quantities as average mages. That’s why I don’t know if I could return here as much as possible, and tried to teach her everything before I leave. After that, maybe I can have my student teach her later once I leave. It’s not like she has any class since I’m here.”

My only student in Cassau, Sara, is one of Albert’s agent. And she’s one of the two air element mages that I taught. Now, I have three with princess Julia who is totally new in air element despite having it for fifteen years.

She has many questions to ask, but I patiently answered them. Maybe there are a lot of exclamation mark when I replied, but if I said that I was patient, then I’m patient. No one need to think otherwise.

The castle was done, but teaching wasn’t done. I brought princess Julia to an empty island to test her new skill.

“Alright, you can try what I taught you. Now, combine fire magic and air magic to make your Fireball bigger.”

Then, princess Julia closed her eyes and make a huge Fireball high above her head. Probably fifty meters from the land. And the size of that Fireball is much bigger than anything I’ve seen. Even Angela’s Fireball which I improve with my air magic was not that big. I guess that’s the difference between two people cooperating and one person who have those two elements trying the same thing. And add her level, the Fireball is more like a sun. A second sun since it’s still bright. ????????????????e????????.＆nbsp;c????????

Then, princess Julia dropped that Second Sun into the sea. The sea water evaporated and the sound of explosion resounded. And the same princess Julia’s funny expression pasted on her face despite she’s the one doing it herself.

“Aaa.... WHAT WAS THAT!? WHAT WAS THAT!” Princess Julia shouted.

“That was your fire magic combined with air magic. If you have improved your air magic, your Fireball might be able to get bigger. And you also need to have proper magic control so your magic won’t run wild.” I said.

“No wonder they said that I’m an idiot. If it has so much power, even as an advanced level I could fight against expert level mage alone.”

“Exactly! Now you know how awesome air magic is, you can learn more and become even stronger. Let’s go back to the capital. I’m going to leave to Arturo after introducing you to my air element magic student.” I said.

After returned to the capital, I asked Sonia to tell Sara that I will bring her here, and she needs to teach princess Julia about air element. Since she’s also an agent, she needs Albert’s permission.

Then I introduce her to both princess Julia and old man Henry. Since I will be leaving, Sara will be the one reporting to Albert or me in case something happened again.

After that, I rode on Spot’s back together with Victoria and Celestine toward Arturo Kingdom. The capital of that country will be my last stop before I can finally go home.
