Chapter 140 - Mage Association (1/2)
Knock Knock!
”Enter.”
A deep and low voice resounds from within the room in response to the knocking on the door. If any normal person were to hear the voice in person, they would be scared shitless no matter how strong they are as the voice seemed to hold some kind of invisible power within the voice that caused people with a weak will to cower in fear at the presence of the owner of the voice.
”Excuse me.”
But the person entering the room didn't cower and went into the room in a silent and refined manner that put a certain famous butler to shame.
”Do you have something to report? As you know, I'm quite busy at the moment so I hope you can be quick on the matter.”
”Yes, it won't be long per se. It was just that, it seemed that girl, Mia, wanted to leave the Mage Association.”
The man sitting at the center of the room raised his brows in surprise before nodding his head in an understanding manner as he spoke.
”It should be about time, after all, it has been five years since then. In fact, the girl should be praise at how strong her will and determination is, as none was like her. We have seen how much effort and tears she put into trying to graduate from an apprentice yet it seemed the god didn't allow such a thing. Even a person with a strong will would eventually fall under such circumstances.”
”Yes, that was indeed the case.”
”Then, there shouldn't be anything worth mentioning, does it?”
”That would the case if not for the information I had acquired sometimes ago.”
The man leaned forward and put his hands on the table before letting his jaw rest on top of the back palm of his hand, spoke with interest in his voice.
”I see, you should have said that from the beginning. So, what was it?”
”Yes, from the information that has been gathered by my subordinates, I have found out that the girl was planning to stay at A District for a short break, or so she said.”
”Hmm? From all the places she could go, why chose there? And why is it now?”
”I don't have the information about that as of now. Perhaps, I could figure out something if I send my subordinate to secretly trail behind her.”
The man muttered softly to himself and though he received a response from the young man standing in front of him, it didn't reach his ears, however, as the man has fallen into deep contemplation. The A District, the region around it, has been regarded as dangerous due to a certain incident that was reported by the mage living there. What was written on the report was, on a certain evening, all the mages associated with the Mage Association there was horrified at suddenly being overwhelming by an invisible pressure for one split second before vanishing completely as if what they had experienced was nothing but an illusion.
