NovelEnglishChapter 168. Oracle
The teachers who accompanied us to the training camp were the three who appeared in front of the students, and five assistants who came in hiding.
And three of them went missing.
In other words, we have confirmed the locations of 5 of them.
The two who rushed in earlier, Jema who is in battle, and the two teachers or assistants who should be at the base camp.
「If there are two teachers at the base camp, then the students should be safe.」I said.
「That’s right. The teachers are strong.」Rosetta said, looking a little relieved.
Until now, six groups excluding us had been scattered and attacked in the forest.
The emergency situation is in the process of being resolved.
Four groups arrived safely at the base camp.
As for the remaining two groups, one group was handed over to the two teachers with our help earlier.
As for the last group, the strongest teacher, Jema, went to their rescue. The enemy will have been defeated already.
「We will probably need to heal injured students. Tina, are you okay?」
「I’m okay. I still have a lot of mana.」
Healing magic consumes a lot of mana.
And Tina used healing magic and detoxification magic many times.
「That’s reassuring. You seem to have grown much stronger.」
「Thanks to Will.」
Tina smiled saying so.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI contacted Rubeum while running to confirm again Jema and the last group’s current position.
I also want to ask if any new enemies appeared.
「Rubeum! Can you hear me?」
「-」
「Rubeum?」
「-」
There was no response from Rubeum. What happened?
I looked up at the sky.
Rubeum was supposed to be flying far above the thick rain clouds while concealing his presence.
I could not see him with not only my normal sight, but also with magic detection.
Arti, who was running beside me, called out worriedly.
「You can’t get a reply from Rubeum?」
「Yeah. Something must’ve happened.」
「It’s jamming, I think.」
The one who suddenly spoke out was the divine spirit, Fay, who had been quiet in my pocket.
「Fay, what do you mean by jamming?」
「The Transceiver Ring isn’t all-purpose.」
It is exactly as Fay said.
Although Transceiver Rings are very expensive, they are the most famously employed magic tool.
As such, there is a technique to jam signals.
In places where confidential information is shared, such as the royal palace, it is common to have a means to jam the Transceiver ring.
「But if such a technique is being applied, Rubeum and I will definitely notice.」
「You only need to jam either the caller or the receiver. If you are not the one who is jammed, then it is most likely Rubeum who is being jammed.」
「He’s being jammed, huh…」
Although I knew I couldn’t see Rubeum, I inadvertently looked up at the sky where Rubeum was supposed to be.
「That’s the reason you can’t make a call.」Fay said.
「I’m worried about him.」
Rubeum is indeed strong. But he’s still a baby.
I continue to search for Rubeum via magic detection.
But, I couldn’t sense him at all.
It would be difficult to find Rubeum if he was seriously hiding and also if he was some distance away.
If I can’t find him, it means that he was hiding seriously.
In other words, it was proof that he is safe. At least, I want to think so.
No, maybe that’s just what I want to believe.
「And there’s something I have to tell you, Will.」Fay said.
「About what?」
「Be careful.」
「Who? Of what?」
「God. I don’t know what it is.」
「An oracle, huh?」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFay had been quiet all this time.
I thought she was sleeping, but maybe she was just quiet in order to receive the oracle.
「Yes. That is why I’m tired.」
「Thank you for your hard work. Rest up.」
The Human God didn’t tell me what to watch out for.
If Rubeum was in danger, she would have told me.
Therefore, Rubeum must be safe.
Though that judgment too might just be my desire.
「If you’re going to send an oracle, give me a little more detail.」I grumbled.
But it can’t be helped. Gods have their own circumstances. It may be an immeasurable circumstance that can’t be understood by humans.
The Human God has never used an oracle to warn me.
Is something really scary going to happen?
No, originally the Human God said that she would consider some means of communication with me.
As a result, she sent Fay to me.
When I had just met Fay, the Human God descended into her body and Fay was intensely exhausted.
It may just be that the Human God was able to send down an oracle because Fay had recovered a little from the exhaustion.
「We should be vigilant.」
「I agree.」Arti nodded.
Then I started running in the direction that Jema headed in.
We arrived at the place where Jema was headed, that is, the last location Rubeum relayed to us where the last student group was at.
However, there was no one there.
No Cult assassins, students, or Jema.
Not even a corpse.
