After Almina and the blonde girl defeated all the monsters charging towards Yman, he lost his consciousness.
The battle ended and the soldiers finished all the remaining few monsters.
Then the carriages proceeded from their halted travel.
<><><>
Yman slowly opened his eyes. He was greeted by a single lamp hanging up above the ceiling of the room and illuminating the surrounding with yellow brilliance. He glanced around him and noticed that he was inside a tent.
He frowned after remembering what was happened before he lost his consciousness, he slowly pushing up his body.
He felt weak and dizzy. But he could manage somehow..
He scanned around him but he could not see his deity Sistela. He needed to concentrate to feel his deity's whereabouts, though he needed to use his stamina. But because he was in a weakened state, he could not carelessly use it.
A moment later, Yman noticed a part of the tent-making a slight movement, which he believed was the entrance of the tent.
After a second, Miss Pai came in. "Yman? Hah, good that you're finally awake! But, uh, you're not allowed to get up yet. Go back to the bed."
Miss Pai said in surprise and sighed in relief when she noticed him standing beside the folding bed.
"....."
Yman was silent. He did not expect to see her here. After a second, he opened his mouth.
"N-No Miss Pai, I - 'm fine... just a little groggy." He said to her while trying not to cause any suspicion. "By the way, Miss Pai, where am I?"
Even though he tried to look normal, Miss Pai knew that he was still not feeling well.
Yman noticed her knitted brows and pouting face with a 'hmmph...' sound. It looks like she won't answer him if he won't follow what she wanted.
He decided to sit down on the bed while scratching his face and lightly laughed.
Miss Pai sighed before opening her mouth, "you are currently inside the medical tent. The group decided to take a detour to pass the night, since many of the participating trainees got tired from the battle this noon, and the soldiers guarding us said that it was not good to travel at night cause many hostile monsters will go out hunting. Early tomorrow the group will resume the travel. Right now, we are settling beside the river they called Silent River." Miss Pai explained.
"S-Silent River?" He repeated.
"Yeah. They said this river was historical and that it was the longest river in this world. Although, I'm not sure if I believe it or not, like you it is my first time here also."
She said at him while blending an herb in a glass.
"...weird."
Yman knitted his brows in puzzlement.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because wouldn't it be natural to call it the Longest River instead of the Silent River..."
Hearing him, she stopped her hands and showed thinking gestures.
"...hm, maybe because this river doesn't flow like the usual river should be that's why they called it Silent River."
"I - I see. So that's why I didn't hear any gushing sounds."
She nodded and resumed what she was doing.
"Anyway, you made quite a blunder out of yourself this noon." She told him with knitted brows.
After hearing her say this, Yman helplessly sighed and slightly downed his head. "S-Sorry." He mumbled shyly.
He could not say anything since Yman knew it was his fault after all.
"I know that some people made fun of you. But, don't forget that there are people too...that cared about you."
Yman slightly nodded his head and remained quiet. Somewhat her words felt comforting to him. She was like an older sister towards him and Yana.
Seeing him quiet. She approached him with the glass of herb in her hands. "Here, drink it," she said and handed the glass to him.
"This is..."
"That is an herbal tea made from Young Lilly herb that we found floating on the river and mixed it with a grinned 1-month-old root of Yellow Clover. I know that you dislike bad smell but this herbal was good for regaining your stamina a little bit faster. So please, bear with it and drink."
She said to him, however, she did not leave beside him. Yman knew that she wouldn't leave unless he drank it. He felt defeated when he took the glass.
|So, these herbs can also be found here, huh...|
He was a little surprised by these familiar names of herbs.
|These herbs can also be found on Outerworld.|
Slowly lifted the glass towards his mouth. His nose was invaded by the pungent smell it brings.
She was right. He dislikes drinking medicine or herbal with bad smell.
Glug...glug...
Yman held his breath and drunk the herbal tea in one go. Good thing that it wasn't so hot. He wanted to puke though.

She nodded and smiled at him.
Before Miss Pai left the tent, she told him that Yana was sleeping in her tent beside Sistela. And that she didn't know what happened to him.
Yman sighed in relief. He was afraid that his sister would worry about him. Looks like Sistela did not say about the fight to Yana.
Miss Pai finished her words saying, "isn't your goal is to heal your sister? (Yman nodded. She smiled and opened her mouth again.) From tomorrow onwards, your life might become more difficult than usual. However, don't forget what you originally wanted from the start. You might find enemies and they might look down on you, but don't forget that there are people too who finds you important to them..."
After saying this she stood for a second before she decided to leave the room.
Yman suddenly felt sleepy after she left. The herbal she gave him also has the effect of making someone feel sleepy.
Just like what Miss Pai said, the trip continued early in the morning.
Right now, Yman was inside the carriage just like before the fight with the monsters.
The words of Miss Pai last night remained in his mind.|What I originally wanted to do, ha...|While thinking this. Yman's face was twitching. Behind his bangs, a glint was visible in his eyes.And a scene was about to replay inside his mind when..."Y-Yman welcome back.."A scene that was supposed to appear in his mind was interrupted by a sudden greeting from the shy girl in front of him.Yman likes waking up from a nightmare blankly glanced at Chloe. He saw her staring at him with a puzzled look.He blinked his eyes."Y-Yman, are you okay?" She asked.He also noticed the other trainees glances at him. The two girls and the other boys besides them were whispering to each other while stealing glances at him. He doesn't know what they were talking about, and Yman doesn't care.Though he felt that their topic was unkind to him. Maybe he developed a new skill that enables him to sense other people that are talking ill at his back. Yman sighed. Certainly, it was only his imagination play
While the carriages traveled, they encountered many other monsters along the road. But the soldier guarding them handled the monsters with ease.It looks like they were professional in handling the type of monsters. Maybe these monsters were common in these areas.Yman noted a specific monster with a metal-like body and crawled with 16 legs. It looks like a spider but different in some way. Since a spider has 8 legs, whereas, this monster had 16 legs.The soldiers said that it was a hybrid monster known as Mustang Spider. Its colored dark green skin was as hard as steel. The soldier requested to change the route. Not even they could manage to kill it with ease. They might be able to kill it, but for sure, some of them would fall victim to the monster..That monster was rank C+. Monsters in this rank are also known as 'Wanderer'. Because they usually wander around the place, hunting for enemies. Every time they kill their prey they become stronger. And they had the ability to summon mo
No matter what Yman said, Instructor Goki could not just believe him this time. Yman almost succeeded in killing multiple monsters in the last battle, although in the end, he failed.So he could not believe him fully right now. Even if he said that there was a higher chance that they could kill it.Goki knew that this was just a baseless assumption by this young man.So Goki said, "no is no, sorry Lady Almina, your father will get mad when something happens to their princess, so, I cannot agree with you this time."Goki said and turned his back at them while saying, "go back to your carriages this is an order!" He was waving his hand to signal them to go back.After hearing him. Almina felt helpless. If it's about her parents, there was nothing she could do..She glanced sadly at the back of the person in front of her.He was slightly shorter than her and his back curled slightly when he was standing. But even so, she was feeling warm while watching this person's back.They were surpr
Almina and the blonde girl seemed like there was some kind of rivalry towards each other. This is what Yman suspected after noticing their brief staring contest.Both of them were fairly strong. So it was just natural that each of them saw the other as a rival.He decided to ignore them. After all, he was an unrelated person. He would be thanking Almina and this blonde girl later if he got another chance.Anyway, he noticed another guy with the principal and Miss Blonde.But Yman did not recognize him.He had a suspicious smiling face.. Yman stared at him. But it seemed like he noticed his gaze and glanced at him and smiled.|Even his eyes were closed?| He was surprised seeing the guy had closed eyes. Even his deity was laying on his head, seemed like, having a lazy life.The principal beckoned to Instructor Goki to let the youngsters handle the monster. After all, if they could not produce results this year, the academy would be finished.Instructor Goki doesn't like the idea since t
While they were approaching the Mustang Spider, it suddenly twitched."Yman Bro, are you sure we have a chance to kill that?" Bob anxiously asked Yman.Yman narrowed his eyes and said,"Truthfully speaking, there is a low probability that we succeed. However, no one knows what the outcome will be like. Hopefully, everyone will follow the plan.""Che!" Kiko spat at Yman's words then he ran towards the Mustang Spider without waiting for the leader's command, he's right hand created a fire that was slowly forming a circle.A moment later, a fireball as big as a volleyball was dancing on top of his hand. Then he threw it towards the Mustang Spider without a second thought.The fireball did not travel in a straight line.. It was spiraling in the air as it fast approaching the Mustang Spider.New novel chapters are published on novelB(i)n.NET.This was the fourth ability of Kiko. That he used to hit Yman back on the Outerworld when he was fighting the Pale Toad in the pond area.Everyone wa
Yman blinked his eyes. Wondering why this girl was so mean to him.Perhaps, he did something bad to her without him knowing, or she really was just like this, or maybe he was really that bad from other people's perspective? That even someone he just met would dislike him? Frankly speaking, he also had something he dislikes."Such coincidence, I was also thinking that...a weak soldier who is not afraid to fight is better than a strong soldier who refused to fight." After saying this he left her standing alone. He doesn't want more unnecessary hate. It's up to her how she would be going to comprehend what he just said. What was more important for now was to kill the monster in front of them.Because if they could not kill this monster, the group would be forced to find another route.. And the soldiers from empire said that the other route would take them another 2 days before they arrived at the academy.The Blonde girl left standing with knitted brows. She felt awkward being left behin
Everyone was staring at it with wide mouth open."Oh, my — Gawd..." Such words escaped unnoticed from Bob's mouth.From the idiot expressions that were showing on their faces, it was clear that this was the first time they had witnessed something like this.Even the smiling guy had a mouth that shaped like '0'. But still, his eyes were in a closed state. This was the biggest question that Yman wanted to know. If how this guy able to see while his eyes like this.Besides the monster, Kiko was watching at the monster's red bar in disbelief. This red bar was the monster's health points.Almina, Chloe, and Mai wore the same reactions on their faces. Even the audience far behind had uniformed expressions. Most of them gawked in disbelief. All of them had already expected the monster to die fast and easily. But it didn't happen.Tsk!The blonde beauty clicked her tongue. Not far from her, Yman narrowed his eyes while staring at the monster. He noticed the crystal on its forehead briefly gle
Baaaaang!!!"!!!"Thunderous sounds followed after Kiko slammed his sword onto the Mustang Spider's forehead. Almina and the other who also near the monster covered their faces using their arms.Yman frowned, its not because his warning came late, but this idiot chose to disregard his warning.A moment later...Swoosh!A steaming figure was sent flying back. All of them were staring at this figure with wide eyes. ."???""Is that a bird?" Chloe subconsciously asked."It's a plane." Muttered by Bob."No, it's a human being!" Mai screamed seeing the smoking figure flew away from the explosion.Yman sighed, he was right. |What an idiot.| Yman muttered in his mind while staring at the body who passed by at him and was flying like a crashing plane. Then it landed on the ground with sounds effects of bouncing and rolling.|Ugh, that might hurt a little...| With indifferent looks on his face, he whispered in his mind.How could a boss-like monster like the Mustang Spider just display its wea
