The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 146 - Returning

Chapter 146 - Returning

Lumilia and Lynn have a worried expression on their face as they waited were waiting for Souta outside the Gripin city.

"Don’t worry about Souta, he’s strong," Bryan assured them that Souta will come back.

Lumilia and Lynn knew that Souta was strong and if not for him they were now in Gregory’s hands, but they still couldn’t help but be worried about him. Especially after they felt the powerful aftershocks of the battle.

"Yeah, Bryan is right. Souta is strong and you already saw it, right? You would only get in his way if you go there." Alice glanced at them and said. She agreed in Bryan’s words.

Lumilia, Lynn, Bryan, Nayo, and George could now move their bodies. While waiting for Souta and the other two, the student that knew healing magic healed them.

The only problem was that Cl.u.s.ter was still unconscious. No matter what healing magic casted on her she wouldn’t wake up.

Naoy stared at Lumilia and felt that her friend somehow change but she couldn’t tell what change.

She slowly opened her mouth and asked, "Mila, what happened to you and Souta here in this city?"

Naoy question gathered everyone’s attention, especially Lynn. All of them perk up their ears waiting for her answer.

"I-" Lumilia was about to answer Naoy’s question when a huge bear walked out of the city gate.

All of them looked over to looked at the huge red bear. They saw a person lying on the back of the bear. They were wondering why a bear came out of the city gate.

"Yuko!!" Lumilia and Bryan exclaimed at the same time. They knew the name of this red fur bear without a doubt. And this bear was Souta’s beast companion.

George, Nayo, and the other looked at the two who know the bear.

"Mila, you know that bear?" Nayo asked as she pointed her finger at the bear that was slowly walking towards them. "Oi! Is that bear coming in our direction?"

"Eh...! That’s Souta!!" Lynn said with a surprised expression as she recognized the person lying on the back of the bear.

Souta who was on Yuko’s back looked up at his classmates. He smiled and said, "I finally made it. I’m out... I leave everything to you, Yuko..." He then closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

"Souta!" Lynn shouted as she ran towards him with a concerned look on her face.

"Grr!!" Yuko growled at Lynn with an angry expression stopping Lynn in her tracks. She looks like she was going to attack Lynn if she took a step forward.

"Stop!" Bryan stepped forward as he grabbed Lynn’s wrist. He looked at Lynn and shook his head.

Lynn looked at Bryan with a confused expression.

"She is Yuko, Souta’s beast companion," Lumilia explained as she slowly walked towards Yuko.

"She must be wary about you, Lynn, since this is her first time seeing you," Lumilia said to Lynn as she stretched out her hand and patted Yuko’s head.

"Of course, she would be wary to anyone she didn’t know since her master is injured. She just wanted to protect her master from strangers, that’s all." Alice said from the side.

Lynn glanced at Alice and then she looked at Lumilia. "Mila, you mean this is not the first time that she saw you?" She asked.

"Of course, Yuko already know class rep two months ago," Bryan was the one who answered Lynn’s question.

Lynn, Nayo, and the other looked at Bryan as if they were asking him to continue.

Bryan looked at them and he was wondering why they were looking at him. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Bryan, they wanted you to continue," Alice said from the side.

"Ah! So that’s how it is. I understand now." Bryan exclaimed as he understood why they were looking at him.

"Well, Souta and I were doing a quest when we met class rep. That’s how she got to know Yuko." Bryan made a simple explanation for them to understand.

"I get it now. In that quest, all of you met this girl called Cl.u.s.ter. Since Cl.u.s.ter didn’t have a place to stay, class rep let her stay in her apartment. That’s the reason why this girl, Cl.u.s.ter, knew class rep went back in her home." George said to them.

"Yeah, that’s the gist of it." Bryan nodded at George’s words.

"I’ve recovered enough mana to cast a healing spell so I will heal Souta first," Lumilia said to them.

"No, you need a rest so I will be the one that will take care of him," Jane said as she walked forward with the other member of the Gale Group.

"Rest assured, Jane knew some healing spells," Tidor said.

The only people that could approach Souta were the ones who knew Yuko. If not, Yuko will show aggressiveness to anyone that she didn’t know within a certain distance.

"So that’s Souta’s beast companion." A voice sounded causing the group to turned their heads.

They saw Randolf and Yujin came out of the city gate. Randolph and Yujin were looking at the unconscious Souta while approaching the group.

"We thought that bear is taking him to its nest," Randolf said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Since we’re all here, we should leave this place." Yujin looked at everyone and suggested.

"Yeah, you are right. Let’s go inside the carriage." Brianna nodded at his words.

Everyone packed their things and went inside the carriage. They have three carriages. The Mage Class 1-B brought two carriages here in the city while the other one came from Tim and Tidor.

They immediately left the area after they got inside the carriages. Yuko had to walk on her own because her body was too huge to fit inside the carriage.

Jane healed Yuko’s wounds so that she wouldn’t have any problem in walking by herself. Also, Souta was on her back as she refused to separate from him. Since Yuko was Souta’s beast companion, they didn’t take Souta from her as they knew that Yuko wouldn’t harm Souta.

...

A lot of people saw them leave the city but no one dared to stop them because they don’t want to get caught in the trouble that was happening in the city. They know the scale of this chaos wasn’t something that they could easily stop.

Two noble families were involved in the trouble that was happening in the city.

The guard of the city gate didn’t stop Lumilia and the rest from leaving the city because of the city lord’s order. They wouldn’t interfere in any person that was involved in the trouble. If any of them interacted with the people that were causing trouble will be met with punishment.

Just like that, the battle in the Gripin city concluded.

Ursus lifted his head and looked on the horizon. He wondered what will happen now. He felt that an event that will shake the entire country will be coming soon.

"This feeling of mine... I hope it’s not true." Ursus muttered as he shook his head. He turned around and faced his subordinates.

"Help the city guards in cleaning the damage in the city!" He ordered his knights to help the city guard.

"Yes, my lord!" The knights said in unison before they turned around and left to complete the task that Ursus gave them.

Ursus then looked at his assistant and said, "Come with me, we’re going to the city lord mansion to discuss some important things."

"Yes, my lord." The assistant bowed his head.

...

Bargan sitting on top of the walls of the Gripin city. He was hiding his presence so that no one could notice him.

He smirked and looked at his students who were heading towards the Ladros city.

"Hahaha, this batch of students is exceptional. They are prone to trouble. Well, it’s my duty as their teacher to protect them from any harm." Bargan laughed as he looked at their carriages.

The power and talent of his students were high that some of them could already match the second-year students of the Ladro Institute.

He then turned his head to look at the space beside him.

A man wearing black cloak was lying down beside him. This man was the man that Souta was protecting before. He kidnapped the man from the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Asvares mansion. Souta forgot the existence of this man when things escalated to something he couldn’t control.

"You’re lucky that you are useful for my student’s next step," Bargan said while looking at the man.

He didn’t know that Gregory was already dead. He didn’t have any idea that Yanagi snuck here in Gripin city and Gregory died in her hands.

Bargan then stood up and patted his clothes. "I need to catch up to my students." He smiled and he picked up the unconscious man.

Swoosh!!

In a blink of an eye, Bargan was gone. He already left the city and followed his students to the Ladro Institute.
