The Only Aura User In Magic World

871 Small Clan in a Small City

So, then, we will stay in this city for a while.

Well, I guess staying is not the right word. We will leave every day in the morning until evening, and return back here to sleep at night. Of course I will escape from the sight of the supposedly dangerous clan in the city before I use a portal.

“Yes. One of our assumptions was that the cult leader belong to a clan somewhere. But there are too many clans in Tatrama alone and too few agents to infiltrate. Even if we put some in some famous clans, that doesn’t mean that we will find the cult. Though we have some agents acting as hunters so those clans will approach them. But so far, there’s no evidences of the cult’s involvement at all in all the clans that the agents infiltrated.”

I’m on a phone call with Albert. The king of this country.

The city I’m in while I’m on the way to Arturo to go to the highest peak in the continent is still within Tatrama’s territory. And I’m actively playing my part as someone whose rank has been demoted to D, but is trying to raise it back. Though I don’t care about rank at all.

In fact, being low-rank hunter will allow me to be made fun of by some thugs. Though I don’t think that those thugs belong to the cult, I do think that all cult members are worse than thugs. I hope with this plan, the cult will approach me.

And then I will kill them all.

“Wait, no. Don’t kill them all. If someone approach you, just report it to me or the king of the country you’re at. We will contact our people nearby to help with the investigation. If you kill them all, we will never find any clues at all about the leader of the cult’s whereabouts,” Albert said.

“Then I will kill less than everyone,” I replied.

.....

“Then you will just not kill one person. That’s still not good,” Albert said.

“Three people?”

“...I let Victoria decide how many people you can kill and those who you are allowed to kill. She’s hearing this conversation, right?” Albert asked.

“I’ll do it. Though today, Roy has killed several people from the clan in this city. He asked the guild master if he can kill everyone, but even the guild master refused. So he will only wait for them to attack first and he can kill them in self-defense. He told that to the guild master who can’t say anything after that,” Victoria said.

Except that the guild master laughed at me thinking that I’m talking big. He knew that I’m a leader of a clan myself. As the guild master, he got that information easily.

But he also knew that most of the requests going to the clan were taken care of by Angela and the others. While the leader, which is me, had almost never done any mission. That’s why I got demoted.

Because of that, the guild master must have thought that my achievements were all other clan members’ achievements. And the demotion fit my real strength.

But he would never expect that the man he made fun of is an expert level air mage and a master level summoner.

Though as a summoner, I’ll just use Victoria as my bullet for air magic. That should convince other people why I’m a master level summoner.

They will think that since I raised my air element, and I killed many monsters by using Victoria as a bullet, it’s natural that I became master level mage. Because of how simple it is the way that a summoner can raise their level. Just by letting their familiar kill a lot.

Then the guild master and other guild staffs will think that the reason I didn’t do a job was because I’m busy fighting monsters. Though no one will know that it’s also because I have other monsters who helped me improve my level.

“Well, just don’t cause too much trouble for the people there. We will continue our investigation our ways. If you find anything, contact us,” Albert said before he hang up the phone.

For now, I will continue taking requests. Finish them as soon as possible, then move toward Arturo before returning back to this city using portal.

If I see other city on the way there, I’ll pay a brief visit and check the city. Using a disguise like wearing Victoria as a wig. Just to make sure that no one will think that I’m at two place at once. Because I’m not a wind mage. So it will be suspicious if I was seen in both places.

The next day, I did as I planned. This time, since I have killed so many goblins, I took the mission to subjugate boars.

“They are too spread apart! And they keep moving!” Breezy informed me of the boars’ location. Far beyond what I can see.

“Then guide me to the closest one first. We just need to defeat them one by one. And since no one is following us, I can run at full speed,” I said.

I’m still not with Ray. He’s still resting at a stable in the city.

Maybe I will take him out today, and when I return back to the city, I’ll pretend that he’s gone. So if I want to call him when I’m outside, there won’t be any problem.

It didn’t take long before I killed twice the amount of the requested boars to be subjugated. Even with that much, promotion is still far. Though I won’t look for a promotion. I don’t care about that. I just act like I care.

I didn’t bring them back yet. I store them all somewhere safe and move by myself toward Arturo.

After running in the sky until the sun started to go down, I marked the place with a Blobby and returned to near the city using a portal.

Then I return to the city, renting a cart for me to bring the boars back, and somewhere no one could see, I opened a portal to where the boars are stored. Of course I made sure that the boars weren’t spoiled when I return to the city.

With this much boars, there shouldn’t be any problem with meat in the city for a while. Because most of the boars hunted nearby were monopolized by the clan in this city.

When I returned back to the city with a cart full of boars, I see many people were staring at me. Let’s ignore them and bring them to the guild.

“So many meat! With this much meat, we won’t have any problem for a week!” the receptionist said.

A week? Well, that’s normal, I guess. If it’s me alone, I can eat them all in a few days. Maybe one day if I’m starving.

“Is it that bad with meat in this city?” I asked.

“Yeah. Most monsters with edible meat nearby were being monopolized by the clan because there’s no other hunters going for them. They became so expensive because of it. So it’s difficult for the people here to get nutritious meal with how little we can harvest from farming,” the receptionist said.

Is it this bad in this city?

“What about the noble in charge of this city? They must be doing something, right?” I asked.

Since Albert is the king, I’m sure that there’s no way a noble would ignore his order. There must be something going on.

“Well, he’s focusing more in the search of the cult members in this city. So for hunters, he had no time to spare,” the receptionist said.

I guess there’s a bad thing that could happen if we’re focusing too much on the cult. I’ll tell Albert about this.

Seems like because of the boars, many people started to look at me. I’m gaining too much attention. Should I just leave?

Hmm... I guess looking for a spirit and the clues of the cult is more important. I guess I’ll stop staying here even though it’s just two days since I’m here and continue my journey.

And a clan that plays around in this small city? I doubt that they are related to the cult.

I have watched their base using Divine Vision. And I didn’t see anything or anyone that seems to be related to the cult. Even the one wearing a lot of jewelries and seem to be the leader is just an advanced level mage at most. There’s no expert level mages at all.

If I leave them to some agents, then I won’t have to do anything.

Then it’s decided. I will leave tomorrow. Forget about destroying a small clan in a small city.

...Was what I thought. But the next day, when I was about to leave, they surrounded me. In the middle of city.

“You’re trying to leave? I won’t let you leave this city in one piece. You will have to die for messing with my people!”

Oh, he’s the clan leader who is acting like a boss of a gang in this city. Should I kill him now?
