The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 278: Roy the Swindler

Crash!

“...”

Crash! Crash! Crash!

“Stop doing it! I’m awake now!”

It was the morning a few days after the entrance exam. The result of the exam will be out later, but I was forced to wake up early because there’s a ghost who just learned to touch objects, and she keep dropping plates and cups on the floor.

Crash!

“I said stop it! I know you’re happy since you can touch and lift some objects now, but that doesn’t mean you are allowed to destroy everything! You’re just like a kid wanting for attention.” I shouted at Sonia who keeps dropping plates on the floor.

.....

“I am indeed wanted to get your attention. I’m returning back to the Monsters World now since Albert’s business is over. I’m here to inform you that.” Sonia said.

She has returned yesterday saying that Albert has some important business that needed Sonia’s assistance. I don’t know what it is, but I think there’s another annoying matter happening. And soon, Albert will ask for my help. I hope he can take care of it himself instead of asking for me to do it. ????????????????????????????. ????????????

“I see. Thanks for telling. But was it necessary for you to destroy all the plates and cups here?”

“That’s not everything. There are still a lot of these. See? I’m smashing another cup.”

Crash!

Sonia dropped another cup to the floor to proof that there are still other cups in my room.

“Enough already!” I shouted.

“By the way, why is your room has too many decorations?” Sonia asked curiously.

“Back then, I used my room as a warehouse whenever I go outside by connecting my room with portal. So, there are many things here. Obviously, the girls didn’t like it. So, I take them all into the storage room. Then, my room become empty. Though I’m fine with living in an empty room, the girls didn’t like it. So, the girls decided to decorate my room with plates, cups, jars, and paintings. You’re the ghost of this building so how come you didn’t know?” I explained.

“I made your room as a forbidden ground. I won’t enter there unless for something important. Anyway, I’m leaving now. Can you open a portal there so I can get there faster?”

“So that’s why you’re waking me up, huh? Fine. Just leave quickly.”

I opened a portal to the Monsters World, connecting to a Blobby that is being carried by a Werewolf who accompanying Sonia to the ghost town. That Werewolf is carrying a necklace with the soil from under this building so Sonia can follow her.

But as I opened the portal, I see the Werewolf. She’s sleeping. Naked. And I’m totally awake now.

“Alright, you can close the portal now, or I will tell Victoria and the others about this.”

I quickly closed the gate not because of Sonia’s threat. Yes. I’m doing it because of my own will.

But still... looking at them directly is much better after all. No clothes to restraint the body so I won’t see the weirdly shaped parts. I like them no matter what, but if I have to choose, seeing them naked directly is much better.

Anyway, I’m no longer sleepy. While It’s still early in the morning. Even Lina has just wake up.

Since Albert has just finished an important business, if it’s related to the cult, he will contact me. if not, then there’s nothing to do. Which is a blessing.

I guess I’ll do my daily training earlier than usual.

Even after three years since returning to the past, I never skipped daily training unless I’m busy. Though the time that I did the training varies. Sometimes it’s early in the morning like this, and sometime during the afternoon since I usually just wake up at that time.

After I return from my training, everyone already wakes up and the breakfast has been prepared. Other than some people who are in the capital. Like Angela and Shirley since they are waiting for their result. And Shelia is also here since she said she wanted to have Lina’s fried chicken. I think it’s because fried chicken is the first delicious meal that I have given her.

After breakfast, it’s time to go to the campus for the exam takers. It’s finally time for their result to be posted.

I have no doubt that everyone, even those in the capital, will be accepted. If not, I will question the examiners.

And now, since the Introductory School has finished awakened all the students’ magic, I guess soon it will be the time for them to have the explosive device in their mouth. What a weird ritual.

I think I’ll go patrol the academy district today and see if I can meet Kayla and the others.

I will have as much fun as possible while killing some cultists!

I won’t do much in public, but I will find any cultists hiding in empty alleys and kill them.

I left the house and quickly find two people in an alleyway. What a perfect coincidence.

“Victoria, I found two people.” I told my accomplice, Victoria.

“Are they strong?” She asked.

“Neither of them reacted when I get this close. They are either good actors, or weaker than expert level mages.”

“Okay. We’ll do plan A like usual.”

“Understood.”

We have been doing this every time I see new people in the city who has explosive devices along with Victoria. At first, I just killed them directly. But now, thanks to Victoria’s strategy, at least I can have fun doing it.

...not the killing part. Having fun killing people is a mental illness. What I meant by having fun is the process before the killing.

...that still makes it sounds like a mental illness.

Anyway, it’s time to put Plan A in action!

I walked into the alleyway, and intentionally colliding my shoulder to one of the guys walking there. Then I fall to the ground.

“AAARGH! You hit me! Argh! It’s hurt! You just broke my shoulder! Argh!”

Plan A, involve me intentionally colliding with the other party, pretending to be in pain as if I broke my bone, and asked the other party money for healing. Of course, I will ask for money and still kill the other party.

Victoria said that it’s one of the common strategies of swindling in some short of fictional story in her world. As expected from that weird world! Even swindlers have some incredible strategies!

I can see the two men are confused, and angry. One is about to attack me, but the other stopped him and whispering something. Probably something like don’t attract too much attention and just give me what I want.

“Tsk! The shoulder that hits me was your right shoulder! But you’re holding your left shoulder!” The guy I collided with protested.

“That shoulder is fine! But this one is because of falling! Now pay for compensate my broken shoulder! Argh! It’s painful! Argh!”

How is it? My acting skill has been progressing well since I have been doing this for some time.

While the guy I collide with is angry, the other guy stopped him.

“It’s okay. I’m a healer. Here, Light Heal! Now your shoulder should be healed and you don’t need any compensation, right?” The other guy who is actually a healer used healing magic on me.

What the hell? I was too shocked since there has never been any healer among the cultists I killed. I guess there will be some eventually. But now what? He just healed me so I can no longer ask him for money.

I guess I’ll do it the old way.

I quickly get up from the ground, transformed Victoria into a sword, and slashed the neck of the healer. He needed to be killed first just in case.

“What!? You-”

Before the guy I collided with completing his sentence, I already made my move and slashed his neck as well.

“Tsk! How would I know that one of them is a healer!? Let’s throw this people away before anyone notices!”

I open a portal to the basement of my home. That’s where Sunny should be at the moment. She will enjoy absorbing these two’s blood as nourishment. What a scary flower.

“Let’s go for the next one... I guess we will delay our patrol. Wendy is here.”

I looked up at the sky and waved my hand to show Wendy where I am. And I’m right that she’s actually looking for me.

“Roy! Something happened to Kayla and the others! You have to go to the campus right away!” Wendy said as soon as she descended.

“What level is the problem? From one to ten. One is where the girls can just ignore it, and ten is where the only solution is to kill everyone involved. Beyond that, running away is the only option.”

“...the difference from one to ten is too drastic. Anyway, it was Kayla who asked you to come. She said if it’s you, you might be able to use this as a chance.” Wendy said.

“A chance for what? I guess I have to go there to check on the situation then. What a pain... It’s just the day when the result of the exam is posted. What would happen during the school year?”

“Everyone will be focused on the tournament once it’s announced. No one would bother on other things by then.” Wendy said.

“You’re right. I think that’s the only thing I’m looking forward for the school year. Let’s go. They should be waiting for me.”

Since the common sense of this world make people think that air element is too weak and unsuitable for combat, the chance of the students diligently going to my class will decrease once they find out about the tournament. They will prefer to take other classes, subjugating monsters, or cultivating.

If my guess is right, then we can use this chance as Kayla said to announce the tournament. For now, let’s take a look at the problem the girls are facing.
