After hearing the orders their leader gave, the closest cloaked figures rushed towards me. The guards just sitting around looked rather confused, not knowing who was the real enemy. Jess noticed this, but also knew that I was obviously not an enemy since she knew who I was. With that in mind, she stood up and commanded them. "Protect that man as though you were protecting me." She was confused about my presence, but didn't pause when it mattered. On the other hand, the guards still hesitated…-

After a few moments, I realized it was some woman that had grabbed onto my shoulder. While she had a cloak on, I could still tell she seemed a bit confused. "You bought a mask too? Ah, whatever. Just follow me right now, we're going to be left behind." There was definitely a misunderstanding happening here, but I decided to go along with it for now. If things really did get dicey, I could just teleport right out so long as I touched my mask. But first, I would see if I could get away with just using…

Harold shot me a confused look after I asked my question. "Our bodies naturally attune mana. Why are you worrying about that?" I scratched the side of my head. "I was just thinking that if we could attune mana outside of our bodies manually, then it would be easier to cast spells." Harold let out a laugh. "I commend you for your creative thinking, but that's unfortunately impossible. For starters, an esteemed mage can only see concentrated mana, but it is not possible to reattune mana that…

Richard stared me down, and I personally became really nervous. However, I made sure to keep the same smile I had, lest I showed my nervousness. After some time, he rubbed his chin before shaking his head. "No, I didn't really think of anything to give you." I blinked a few times. "You didn't?" Richard scratched the back of his head with a clueless expression. "I mean, normally people just do things I ask them to. Now that I think about it, it is a little strange that they would just do…

Before long I was presented with a new day. On the way to school, I began contemplating over how those people at the Honest Truth cult were doing. After all, I said I would do something, but just suddenly ghosted them for basically no reason. ...With how their memories were, would they even remember? No, they should, since Dark Arts would only wipe memories in the past, according to what I've been told. Hm. This time I really can't get dragged by anyone and actually go there for once. Still, I…

After a brief moment of hesitation, I grabbed onto Raisa's arms once more. She appeared rather jittery like she had been electrocuted. If her hair had all shot upwards, then it would've really made it convincing. "Bryson? Start it! Come on!" The side of my face twitched. I couldn't help but feel that Raisa was getting a little too excited about this. Not even after a second when I grabbed her, did she urge me on. Was there really a need for it to go this far? There was a part of me that felt like…

Raisa frowned at my proposal. "My assumption is that you are not referring to the one that we had gone to previously. I do not believe my bodyguard would allow it, she had declined it last time. Why did you bring it up again?" I tilted my head to the side. "There was a method to increase my magical aptitude that I thought of involving that. Basically, it would require a large amount of iridescent crystals, and that's probably the only place where I could get them for cheap." Raisa furrowed her…

While meditating on the carriage, I gradually felt something. I could feel something familiar in the distance. However, I couldn't really tell what it was. The only thing I was pretty sure of, was that this familiar sensation was related to mana. Out of curiosity, I attempted to reach out to it. It was quite difficult, but over time I was slowly able to reach out with a tendril of mana. And when I did touch it- "Yah" Raisa let out a small scream and jumped out of her seat. She looked to the…

The rest of the night was uncomfortable, as it always was with Jess's unreasonable requests. At this point, I decided to think of it as practice for meditating. In a way, I could be considered incredibly diligent if you took away the fact this was against my will. As for the book guy, it didn't interfere with my dream this time which was honestly a little bit surprising to me. Before I knew it, I had already begun climbing up the steps for a new school day. Honestly, it felt kind of strange that the…

Seeing Edward's display, I couldn't help but chastise him. "If it wasn't for Nathan holding you back, how bad would the problem have become? You may have even become a mass murderer." Like how you were in the actual story. Edward smiled bitterly and gave a bow to me. "I understand. I will try to keep things within acceptable bounds." Jess pointed at him with curiosity. "Is he the manufacturer of the specially processed pale meat?" I gave a quick nod. "Yeah, it looks like he's the…
