Chapter 80: Fully Geared
“Don’t tell me you’re going there to…” Leo swallowed nervously.
“There’s only one way to confirm a theory. To go directly to the source,” she calmly said.
“I appreciate your consideration, but I don’t want you to do anything rash and get in trouble… The Adventurers’ Bureau is part of the government, right? Nothing good will come out of messing with them.”
“Who said anything about messing with them? I am just going there to ask some questions. And you are underestimating the influence of an S-Rank Adventurer. Thank you for worrying about me, but I will be fine. This isn’t my first time visiting that place, either.”
“If you say so…” Leo nodded.
“One last thing before you leave… This is about the Scarlet Family. You should stay away from them. They’re more dangerous than you think. I don’t know much about this Lia Scarlet, but their family is surrounded by bad rumors, especially the main family. From corruption to illegal assassinations, the Scarlet Family seems to have connection to all of them.”
“Don’t worry, I have already told myself to never be involved with the Scarlet Family ever again.” Leo smiled.
“Good. Then I will see you later.”
Sometime later, Miss Camille left the infirmary and Leo went to the Training Center to continue his training with the sword.
After leaving the infirmary, Miss Camille went to find Headmistress Eva.
“Camille? Did you forget something?” Eva asked her.
“No, I just want to let you know that something came up, and it requires me to leave the city for some time.”
“What? What about the Wilderness Training Course? Your presence is essential there!”
“Don’t worry, I will be back before then. I’m just making a quick trip to Celestial City.”
“Celestial City?” Eva’s eyebrows raised with surprise.
“Why are you going to such a depressing place? There’s nothing but bureaucracies there.”
“I have some business with the Adventurers’ Bureau. Anyways, I will leave now.”
“Alright. I will keep an eye on Leo while you’re gone.” Eva said with a smile on her face.
“Don’t do anything weird to him…” Miss Camille frowned slightly.
Eva chuckled, “I will try not to.”
Miss Camille left the academy shortly after and returned to her own home.
“You’re back early.” Sophie said when she saw Miss Camille.
“Yes, and I will be gone for a few days.”
“Where are you going?”
“Celestial City.”
Sophie’s eyes widened with surprise.
“Don’t you hate that place? Why would you suddenly go there?”
“I don’t have a choice.” Miss Camille said as she opened the doors to a certain room.
However, when she opened the door, there was no room on the other side. In fact, there was nothing on the other side. It was pitch black, almost as though it was the void.
“I will be right back.”
Miss Camille entered the door and disappeared into the darkness.
Sophie didn’t follow her inside and stood outside with a pondering look on her face.
‘Why is she visiting the treasure vault if she’s just going to Celestial City?’ Sophie wondered to herself
Several minutes later, Miss Camille came out of the darkness, but her appearance was completely different, and she was fully dressed in a fancy pair of white and golden robes and accessories, not to mention the golden staff in her grasp, looking like a fantasy character out of a video game.
“You’re going to the Celestial City fully geared? You’re even weaning your S-Rank artifacts… Don’t tell me you’re going there to start a war?” Sophie swallowed nervously after seeing Miss Camille’s appearance, as she was wearing all of her best equipment that she used to wear when she was an active Adventurer.
In fact, she was wearing things that she normally wouldn’t wear even in Labyrinths!
“A war? Well, that will depend on their response.” Miss Camille calmly said.
“Whose response?” Sophie couldn’t help but ask.
“The Adventurers’ Bureau.”
Sophie’s jaw dropped after hearing her words.
“The Adventurers’ Bureau?! Why are you— You know what? Forget it. I already feel a headache coming, so I am going to stop here.” Sophie said as she rubbed her temples.
Once Miss Camille was outside in front of her house, she stopped walking and began activating her mana.
The cloak on her back suddenly began fluttering, and Miss Camille’s body started levitating off the ground.
“Stay safe! And don’t do anything rash!” Sophie said to her.
“See you later.” Miss Camille said before shooting into the sky and flying towards the city walls like a rocket. Of course, this was only possible due to her artifact, which allowed her to use the Tier 5 wind magic spell known as ‘Flight’.
Meanwhile, back at the academy, Leo stopped swinging his sword after he was all out of energy.
“Although using the sword isn’t as fun as using magic, there’s just something about swinging a sword. It feels kind of cool.” Leo muttered out loud as he laid on the cold floor.
“Really? I don’t see how it can be cool.” Lilith said.
“If you came from a world without magic or monsters, you would understand my feelings. Before coming to this world, I was just an ordinary student with no experience in magic or fighting. Forget about swinging a sword, I would feel cool even with a kitchen knife.”
“I still don’t understand.” Lilith shook her head.
“Forget it. I’m going to see if there is anything in the Magic System that will help me with the Wilderness Training Course.”
‘Since I cannot use magic, I should buy some artifacts that will increase my physical capabilities…’ He thought to himself.
He looked at his available Magic Points.
‘I have over 1,000 Magic Points right now. Although that’s nowhere near enough to purchase anything in the Magic Shop, I can buy any F-Rank artifacts I want now, including a weapon. The Artifact Shop will also level up if I purchase five more artifacts. Maybe I should buy 5 cheap artifacts and see what the level 2 Artifact Shop has to offer first.’
Thus, Leo began looking through the Artifact Shop while he rested.
