Chapter: 587

Jay was realising now that if he left Losla, he would have to survive in the wilderness, but now that he learnt of this ‘safe place’ that Sullivan was talking about, he put his plans to buy survival materials aside.

It wasn’t like he would need much survival gear anyway though, as he did have his swag (small tent), cooking utensils, and other comforts such as his chair which he scavenged from his own house.

Either way, he knew he had to leave – and he could only hope this ‘safe place’ was very, very far away from these mage hunters.

Slowly, he realised his whole life was about to get turned upside down. He came here to train today and now all of this was happening.

Jay still had low mana after all the crafting he did in the cave, so before leaving the guild to plot his next moves he decided to meditate and bring it back to being full.

Viladore was almost chuckling in his room as he saw his cube growing; it meant one thing – Jay was back.

Now all he needed to do was provide an excuse to have him imprisoned here, or even gifted to him as a research subject.

While researching on live humans was illegal in this kingdom, Jay would not be considered a human if he was simply too powerful, and Viladore’s first idea for a lie was that Jay was an F-variant class.

“But they will check his class after they arrest him… dammit. How do I get around that.” he pursed his lips as he tried to come up with ideas.

He needed the mage hunters to arrest Jay without killing him or checking his class.

Soon however, he was distracted by his cube. To him, watching it grow was mesmerising – though he knew it would soon stop when Jay left, and so he got right back to scheming once more.

Jay was quietly meditating in the room; his heart calm as he nourished his mind with mana.

“Jay?” a woman’s voice broke the peaceful silence from somewhere in the room.

Jay immediately opened his eyes, startled as he looked around.

“What the hell was that?” he saw the door was still closed, he was sure he was alone.

“Perhaps I just connected to some spirit?” he wondered.

Again, a female voice sounded from somewhere in the room.

“Hello, Jay?”

Jay looked around immediately but couldn’t find the source of the sound, though he cautiously replied back.

“…hello?” he slowly said.

“Hello, Jay. Are you enjoying the room? How is your stay going? By the way, what was your last name?”

“Uh… Yeah it’s alright? And it’s Hart, Jay Hart.” he answered, wondering why he was being asked how his room was.

Lara was the person behind the womans voice; she had to ask such questions to confirm that it was actually Jay she was talking to – after all, they had never met.
