The Only Aura User In Magic World

Saving Kayla

After Angela finished the boar, we continued our mission to defeat goblins. The mission stated that we only needed at least 5 goblins, which is easy for even Angela herself to do alone.

We still haven’t found any goblins yet but we have met several others monsters. I told Angela to take care of them so she can practice as well. At least there were no monsters stronger than boar yet.

She continued to improve in a quick rate. Not just her Fire element, her other elements improved as well. For her Ice magic, she can freeze a boar’s leg from 3 meter distance. It’s not far but that’s an improvement as freezing magic was only supposed to be used when you are an Advanced level mage. Her weaker version is only able to freeze a leg but that’s great.

Her Earth Magic, the wall she created is not any different with other beginner level earth mage’s Earth Wall, other than the fact that she can regenerate her wall quickly as soon as it was destroyed.

As for Wind Magic, she can create a wind barrier around her to protect herself from a projectiles. When I tried to use my Air Cannon, where I put a stone in a tube shaped Blobby and shot it with air pressure, the speed of the bullet is considerably slowed down. Proof that I’m still stronger than her since it wasn’t stopped or changed direction. Haha!

She can also do other magic, but those are what I consider the best among each elements.

Other than how she got angry at me for shooting at her, there were no trouble. Even when I told her that my shot is missing her on purpose, she’s still angry. So I lend her Blobby so she can squish it to relax. Blobby is so powerful!

We continued searching for goblins and soon enough, we saw ten of them. And they are surrounding a mound under a tree.

.....

“I found goblins. They are surrounding a mound and attacking it fiercely. Looks like someone is using earth magic to protect themselves from goblins. Let’s help her. Each of us took five goblins, okay?”

“Understood.”

Angela soon prepared to cast a magic. I don’t know what magic she will use, but this time I will no longer guide her since I have already told her everything I know. I will trust her decision based on her growth along the way here. I will just defeat my share of goblins.

I use summoning magic so I can transport Blobby who was still in Angela’s embrace to my hand and transform her into a sword. Although it has been just one week since I exercising my body, I’m already strong enough to defeat higher level monster than goblins or boars. 5 goblins? They all die soon after I reached them. All with clean cuts on their neck.

And after I finished my share, Angela also has shot 3 goblins down. For the other two… They tried to run away after seeing their kinds got killed. I will trust Angela to kill the two goblins. For now, I will check the person under the mound.

I knocked on it and yelled, “Hey! It’s fine now! You can come out now!”

“Really?”

“Yeah. My partner has just killed the leftovers and she’s coming here now. You can come out now.”

“…”

No more answer. There are various scenarios running in my head about what happened to the person inside. Since the voice is that of a woman, there’s one scenario popping inside my head of how she ended up holing herself up inside the mound by her own earth magic.

“…please let her come her first before I come out.”

“I understand.”

Seems like I was right. She got herself tricked by men who are now have escaped so she can only trust women. I called out Angela and told her the situation and also my guess to her. She understood and approached the mound while I stepped back so the person inside can feel safer.

“It’s fine now. My friend also has stepped away and be the lookout for other monsters.”

“…I’m undoing the magic now.”

She said so as the mound slowly opened. But when Angela got a clear look of what’s inside, she shouted at me.

“Don’t look over here!”

I turned my head away. Sigh… so she’s naked there.

“Blobby, get over there and be a blanket. Big enough to cover her body.”

I ordered Blobby to cover the girl’s body. I’m not looking over where they are, but I heard a slight gratitude from the girl.

Angela asked the girl some questions and I collect the proof of subjugation which is the goblin’s right ear. When we showed it back at the guild, it will prove that we have cleared our mission.

After finished collecting the proof, the girls also finished their chat and walked over here.

“Roy. She’s Kayla. She’s the same as us, registering as hunter today and also we went to the same school.”

Angela told me Kayla’s story. Kayla went to school today as well and after school was over, she quickly went to hunter guild to register. The fact that she registered today rather than last week when she just awakened her magic is praiseworthy.

Then inside the guild, she met her classmates who have registered few days ago and telling her that she will be safe if she goes with them. And so she agreed, even though their party members are all male.

Their journey was easy as they haven’t found any monsters yet. Their luck must have been good because Angela and I have encountered multiple monsters on the way.

As they thought it was a good place to assault Kayla, they grabbed her and ripped her clothes. Finally when she was on the ground, one person who is the leader of the party wanted to ‘taste’ her first.

As he pulled down his pants, a sword stabbed his back through his chest. It was a goblin. There were five goblins surrounding them. The other boys escaped and left only Kayla alone.

Kayla also tried to escape through another way because she’s also afraid of the boys. But the goblins chased after her and even their numbers increased from three to ten. She panicked and forget that she can use magic. As she keeps running away, she finally remembered her magic and used it to hide under the mound.

“…that’s what she told me. That’s why she’s afraid of men now just like your guess.”

“That’s understandable. Kayla, do they know about your magic elements?”

After hearing Angela’s report, I asked Kayla even though she’s afraid of me. She jolted when I asked her but still answered my question.

“I never told them.”

“Then did you write down your elements on the paper when you’re registering as hunter?”

“Hmm? Yes I did. I wrote down Earth, Healing, and Light elements.”

“I see.”

I understand completely how the guys invited her. They must have known about her elements since she registered and started targeting her.

“You asked about that paper again?”

Angela asked me in confusion.

“It’s easy to find out your magic from seeing it on the paper. They must have realized that she has low attacking power when they saw her magic so they started targeting her. That’s why I only wrote my name and age. You will easily be targeted by those with malicious intent. Earth, Light, and Healing elements are lacking in attack power when you’re just a beginner level. If she has something like Fire or Lighting which has powerful attack, they won’t even bother to think about assaulting her. From now on, you two must keep your elements as secret. If necessary to tell other, Kayla should just tell about Healing and Light elements and use Earth magic as a trump card.”

Then I walked closer to Angela and spoke to her in whisper.

“You too. Just pick two elements to tell and use them when you’re in front of other. And for the other two, use them as a trump card. Whether you want to tell Kayla about your elements or not, that’s up to you.”

“I see. I think I can trust her so maybe if she asked me, I will tell her. What about you?”

“Me? Summoning element and my contracted monster is a slime. Then a rare but well-known to be weak Air element. Even if you spread them, everyone will think that I’m a weakling. What do you think?”

“…people will think you are weak, but in fact you are strong. So it’s useful because you can make your enemies let down their guards even when they know about your magic.”

“That’s right.”

We continued to chat while walking back to the city. On the way back, we saw corpses on the ground.

“Kyaaa! They are from the group that tried to assault me! They’re dead!”

Kayla screamed as she recognized the corpses from their clothes.

“It’s obvious they will die when they met another monsters if they are even get scared of three goblins.”

“Why are you so calm?!”

Angela shouted in my ear when I commented calmly.

“If you became a hunter, this is a common sight. These are not the first corpses I saw, and they won’t be the last either.”

I have a lot of experiences from my past life, so seeing dead bodies won’t faze me. But with this, I think both Angela and Kayla will think twice about their career as hunters.

Whatever options they choose, I will respect their decisions.
