The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Roy, if that person is really a master level mage, then I can't hide from her even if I am invisible. Just expert level mages are enough to be able to sense my presence," Sonia said as we were preparing ourselves.

"Then, we have two options. You will pretend that you're a wild monster sticking to me, or I'll pretend that I'm a tamer and you're my tamed monster," I said.

"Or maybe you can just pretend that you are possessing Roy's body. You're a ghost, so if you're possessing someone, it won't be too suspicious," Victoria said.

She's right. maybe possessing me is a better story than her being a wild monster.

Wait! She is indeed a wild monster! A ghost! No one ever tamed her, or make a contract with her! We just live in her house.

She's our pet. Our pet ghost. That's the most plausible explanation. Though I won't tell her that.

We also have a pet serpent. He's wrapping his body around my waist like usual. And he's our strongest member so far. He will be the most important member in our fight.

Shelia is with Kayla and the others in Albert's palace. I will summon her right away if the battle happens. She will watch it from the TV over there and prepare herself before I summoned her.

"Alright, Roy. You're ready?' Spot asked.

"No. Let's go anyway," I said.

While the mohawk girl hasn't entered the city and knows where I live, I need to let her see me outside of Cassau. If her target is me, she will follow me after she saw me.

"Victoria, stay on my shoulder. With a slime on my shoulder, I would be more eye-catching," I said to Victoria, in which she agrees and transformed into her blob form and stuck on my shoulder.

I can see her with my Divine Vision, but if I focused on her, she will realize where I'm looking for like before. That's why even though I'm using Divine Vision, I'm not focusing my eyes on her. But all 360 degree of my surrounding. And I only need to follow someone who is away from the city. She shouldn't be able to notice me until we saw each other then. I hope.

If the battle truly begins, I'll take both of us to the Monsters World. I hope the camera will still work and people here can still watch the fight. That way, they can learn how to fight master level mage and know what to expect in case I called for their help.

Maybe I should have took all the expert level mages together so it will be faster to call them all at once with just one portal. Well, this is something that was planned in a hurry. I hope we can get the best result.

I walked toward where the mohawk girl is. She's calmly walking out there as if there's nothing to worry about. That just shows how powerful she is. She doesn't need to care about monsters outside.

I started running when I was about to get within her sight, so if she's looking at me, she will chase after me. If she's a wind mage, I have low chance of escaping though.

As the mohawk girl saw me, she ignores me. But soon after, she locked her sight at me and started following me.

Since she's not flying, I guess she's not a wind mage. Or maybe she's hiding her full strength.

"Alright, she's following us. Let's get further away from the city. If she's a master level mage, we have to get as far as possible from the city," I said.

"…Roy, I don't think she's chasing you," Victoria suddenly spoke on my shoulder.

"What do you mean, Victoria?" I asked.

"She's not looking at you. She's looking at me," Victoria said.

"Hmm…? For what reason is she following you? But if you sensed she's looking at you, I guess you're right. Do you have any idea?"

"Other than she's my fan, I have no other ideas," Victoria said.

"You never show yourself to public that you're a slime. It's impossible for anyone to know you are an author," I retorted.

As soon as I thought that we are far enough from the city, I slowed down. And the mohawk girl stopped when she gets close to me.

"Hello, is there anything I can do for you? I notice that you've been following me for a while," I said to the mohawk girl.

It started. Once the battle begins, in a few minutes, Veronica will fly over here to help me. though I hope we won't fight.

"I was tasked with a mission," the mohawk girl said.

"What mission?" I asked.

"To ask you nicely to follow me since my master wants your Black Slime. If you refuse, I will stop asking you nicely and have you come by force. If that's too difficult, I have to kill you and take the Black Slime," she said.

…isn't she being too honest?

But I guess battle is unavoidable. Let's talk before it truly happens.

"I see… who is your master?" I asked.

"Many called him Professor," she replied.

Veronica's right! She's the subordinate of that Professor!

"What kind of professor? I also taught in college, so I'm sort of professor myself," I said.

"Professor who experimented on many things," she said.

"Alright, you said that you're going to ask me nicely. But before you make your attempt to ask me nicely, let me ask you some questions. Probably a lot of questions. After that, you can ask me nicely later," I suggested.

I know that sounds stupid, but I'd like to get as many information as I can get from her.

"Okay. I'll ask you nicely later. Ask me anything," the mohawk girl said.

…I think she's stupid. Stupid and honest. If I can bring her into our side, that will be great.

"Roy, I'll go to Albert's location and see if he can detect lies spoken through the camera to his TV. Whenever I return here, that mean she's telling a lie," Sonia said before she disappears.

"What was that?" the mohawk girl suddenly spoke.

I guess she noticed Sonia.

"I'm actually a tamer. And that was a ghost I tamed," I replied.

"Oh, the report says that you only have two elements. Summoning, and air. But I guess the report is not complete," she said.

Hearing that, I got the chill. Does that mean someone in the cult already targeted me?

I'll add that to my questions.

"I have a lot of questions for you, so if you don't mind, you can take a seat first," I said as I let Victoria turns into a chair for me to sit, and creates clones of herself to make the chair for the mohawk girl to sit on.

Of course the real reason why I offer her a seat is not for her to be relaxed. Well, that's one of them. But the real reason is that in case she's about to fight, the Blobbies can restrict her temporarily. And I also have a Magic Restraining Collar with me. This way, she won't be able to use her magic. But I can't put it on her right away.

"First, tell me your name," I said.

"I don't have a name. Professor only call me 'you'," the mohawk girl said.

"Then, for convenience, I'll call you Mohawk," I said.

"Understood. You can call me Mohawk."

She's surprisingly obedient. Maybe that's why she's following this Professor's order. And she's even allowing me to have a chat with her.

As long as I can ask her all kind of information before she asked me nicely to come with her, it should be fine.

"Who is this Professor?"

"Smart man. Have to follow his order. He's always right."

Obviously, only a liar would say 'I'm always right'.

"Are you always this honest?"

"Professor use some technology to brainwash me to never tell lies," Mohawk said.

"And you know you're being brainwashed?"

"Yes."

Alright, this is weird. But I guess this mean it's easy to ask her anything. And since Sonia isn't here, she's speaking the truth. Or that Albert can't tell lies from watching the TV.

"Can you tell a lie?" I asked Mohawk so I can test it.

"If I was asked to," Mohawk replied.

"Alright, I have a candy in my hand. Look at this."

"I'm looking."

After making sure that she's looking at the candy, I clenched it in my left hand, while showing her my two hands clenched into fists.

"Tell a lie. Which hand is the candy in?"

"It's in your… right hand," Mohawk replied incorrectly.

If Albert able to detect her lies, Sonia should be here soon.

And just as I hoped, Sonia suddenly appears behind me.

"That was a lie. That mean she didn't speak lies before," Sonia whispered, and then she disappears.

"What was that?" Mohawk asked.

"I asked her to go back to the home and tell my maid to do the laundry for my clothes," I said.

I have confirmed that she never speaks lies. Other than when I asked her to lie.

That mean she's really being brainwashed to never tell lies, unless she was ordered to.

But this is disturbing as well.

The fact that this Professor is sending someone who can't lie means that he has the confidence in her to complete any jobs she received.

As I thought, I must not let her ask me nicely to come with her.
