The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 343 - Return To Melk After A Long Time

A few days after taking care of small business in Arturo Kingdom, we are leaving for Melk to watch the tournament.

"Is everyone ready?" I asked.

"Even if we're not and forgot something, you can bring us back in an instance. Let's just go right away." Candy said.

"I suppose you're right. Let's go then."

The group who will be leaving for Melk are me, Lina, Candy, Sophie, Daniel, Hannah, Lana, Wendy, Carmen, Fabio, and Luna.

Penny doesn't want to go and said that she will take care of the base while we're away together with Sonia whenever she's not busy. And Veronica said that she will take care of the orphans while Celestine is away.

Carmen and the royalties staying here are already getting along with the others. Carmen is the only water mage here, so she doesn't have anyone to talk to about water magic. But she still takes some time to practice with Veronica or me. And she's getting along well with Marie who sometimes come over to play along with Alan.

By the way, Albert, Marie, and Alan will not be coming with us. They will leave normally by themselves, so they can watch the final.

Luna plays with Daniel and the other children. She enjoyed playing so much that she feels reluctant to go to Melk while the orphans are staying. But since Daniel, Hannah, and Lana is coming, she no longer feels reluctant.

As for Fabio, he's the only male here other than me. We talked and play card a lot, and when we can't he would go with disguise on and take a quest from the guild.

Since he stayed in our place, the guild master thought that he's our new member. That's why despite just receiving his hunter card, he received some quests which should be difficult for a normal E-rank hunter. Though for him, those quests are still easy.

We arrived at the hotel in Melk where we stayed at before. Not in the lobby since there should be other people there, but in my previous room. Wendy said that this room is not for other people, that's why it's best to go here.

"I'll go meet the staffs of the hotel. What about you?" Wendy asked.

"I'll meet Kayla and the others. Wait, Angela is here as well? Is it fine for people from different group to stay in one place?" I asked.

"It doesn't really matter, right? And they don't mind it." Wendy said before she left the room. She has been going in and out of Melk and used my service many times in the past few days.

Kayla, Jewel, Sara, Angela, and Shirley are all staying in this hotel. Together with their teammates I suppose. I'll go greet them.

Ah, I forgot to ask Wendy for the others' room. Well, that can be taken care of later. But this city sure is crowded today. So many people want to watch the tournament.

I believe once the Television that Victoria and Marie made spread, it will become popular. At that time, people won't bother to come so far here to watch they can just watch the tournament from their home.

We also have a Television installed in our base. And Penny and Veronica will be there to see the first battle. If it can be broadcasted as it was intended, during the final, there will be a huge television installed at the square of many cities so the citizens can watch it.

We also have sent the television to Lynn, Henry, and Harold. They will be able to watch the tournament.

In truth, we were supposed to install television in every kingdom. At least each king needs to have one. But because there's a fake king, we only gave these televisions in secret. Though after the final, people will hear about this thing.

I get to the dining hall where Kayla and everyone else is chatting. They don't care if they are from different team. Kayla and Angela are best friends after all.

"Hey. Been a while." I greeted them.

There seem to be two tables where everyone is seated. There are more, but those are taken by other guests. This area is the noisiest one.

In one table, there are Kayla, Angela, Shirley, Jewel, and a man I don't know. Since I don't think he's trying to flirt with Kayla, I don't mind. He's probably one of Shirley's teammates.

The other table is taken by Sara, and three other people. They nodded at me with respect when they saw me.

Nine people. Which mean the last person who isn't here is the other recommended participant from Cassau. I guess if he's as Kayla said, he won't stay in a hotel like this.

"Oh, Roy. You've arrived. And the others as well." Kayla said.

It has been a while since they last met, so they are hugging each other. Meanwhile, the man I don't know is staring at me.

"What is it? I won't hug you. I don't know you, and even if I do, I won't hug men." I said.

"I don't need a hug. I'm just curious about who this Roy is after hearing so much about you. When I ask Kayla, Angela, and Princess Shirley, they said you won't participate. So, I thought I won't have the chance to meet you." He said.

Instead of answering, I just starred at the man. I guess he's not like the other noble children who used their family status. He's a good guy, probably.

"I'm the one who propose the tournament. I don't think it's a good idea for me to participate. And I'm also not a student. I'm a professor."

I'm about to say that I taught most of the participant, but that's wrong. I just taught those who teaches them. And I don't know most of them. In fact, other than those who are here, there shouldn't be anyone else I know.

Oh, wait! Maybe one of the summoners I taught during the training camp is here!

Well, even if they are here, I doubt they will use their summon much. Unless they have increased their level and got another summon. But if they have another monster, I will ask them to only summon one monster. I also have told them to do that so we can keep it as secret from the cult that summoners can summon multiple monsters. It was back after the training camp. I hope they still remember it.

"Is it true that other than me, the other participants from the capital is taught by you?" the man asked.

"No. I mean I taught those who taught them. I didn't teach them directly. Well, other than Kayla, Angela, Shirley, Jewel, and Sara over there. Wait, that's half of you." I said.

"Then can you teach me as well?" The man asked.

"Unless you have summoning element or air element, I can't teach you directly. Just go ask other people." I said.

As I chatted with him, the others are done with their reunion and return to their seat. Candy grabbed a new table and bring it close to us so everyone can gather here.

"By the way, how did you arrive here? I didn't see you from the front door. Did you all fly here?" the man asked again.

"No. But I can be anywhere I want. I can appear from above, or below. Or even behind you." I said with a slight hint of joke. I doubt he will believe me right away anyway. Though I never expected someone would continue my words.

"Or even in your wildest and darkest dream. You will wake up in fear from seeing his face even in your dream."

It was the cute little girl, Lana, who is speaking while climbing on my seat and take a seat casually in my lap. She loves sitting on someone's lap and be spoiled. This time, she chooses me.

"Alright, seriously. Who taught you that word?" I asked.

"A ghost." Lana said.

So, it's Sonia? Or is there another ghost I can't see even with my Divine Vision? If there's another ghost, Sonia should have told me. Or maybe it's all just Lana's imagination. And Ghost is her imaginary friend. I think I will never know the truth. Unless Sonia appears and told me that it was her fault.

"Well you nice to meet you, but my friends are here. Talk to you later." I said as I held Lana, and put her on Lina's lap.

Haha. There's Lana, Lina, and Luna sitting next to each other. Will there be a Lena or Lona?

The friends I'm talking about are two people I haven't met in a while. They are Kron and Oleg. Though Oleg's wife is here as well. She's chatting with Sara as a fellow air mage.

As for Hill, I doubt he will be here. Or maybe he is. I think he might be one of the officials just like Kron. Well, who cares about Hill? Not me.

"It's good that you're finally here. Though it will be better if Albert and Hill are here so we can play poker."

…apparently, it was Kron who cares about Hill.

Since there's nothing scheduled, I just spend the rest of the day chatting with the two friends I rarely met nowadays.

Kron said that he will be the referee for the tournament. And Oleg will try to increase the security of the city.

At night, after the kids fallen asleep, it's finally time for me to clean up a lot of cult members. With this many people entered the city, there should be cult members among them.

And I was right. So, I killed them in the dead of the night. As for some whom I cannot kill right away, I informed Oleg about them. He will take care of the rest.

Finally, tomorrow is the day when the schedule will be set for the tournament. Because most of the officials are Albert's agents, Albert asked them to arrange it so Kayla's team and Angela will only meet at the final.. Excellent choice.
