My Magical System

Chapter 137



Chapter 137: Before and now

After the duel, the emperor called out a high-ranking magician with a high-level healing ability.

“What is this? This is horrible. So many broken bones.”

The healer commented with a frown before he began chanting a high-level healing spell.

Jura didn’t know who was talking. He could not feel his body. It seemed like all the bones in his body shattered into pieces.

Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing, he thought repeatedly. Whereas the pupils on his widened eyes were trembling uncontrollably. He was staring in front of him but his focus wasn’t there. His mind flew away.

His body was bathed in blood, gushing from his mouth and nose.

“Jura! Jura! Tsk! That bastard!” One of Jura’s friends called him and then gnashed his teeth. However, Jura wasn’t concerned about his surroundings at the moment. His only concern was the embarrassment that he felt. He lost in a duel against a newly awakened person. And that person was the despicable man.

.....

How? Why? Why was he defeated by that person? He trained from childhood until now. Yet, he was defeated easily.

Aside from that, it was an overwhelming loss! It was embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing! Jura repeated once again.

While Jura was groaning in pain, everyone gathered around Yeman. “Congrats for the w-win. B, but aren’t you overdoing it a little?” Mina said.

“Eh? Is that so...” did he overdid it? Perhaps he was. Looking at it from the other people’s perspective, he was probably overdoing it. But, he wasn’t at fault. It was a duel after all. “Uhm, Forget it. Jura was at fault also for not giving up,” Mina added.

“I see,” Yeman replied and smiled.

“My lor- ahem, as expected.”

“.....”

For some reason, Night only said those lines before she switched into telepathy by saying, “As expected of, my lord.”

Eina hugged his brother. She must be worried. Aunt Claire smiled and sighed. “You’ve grown up,” she said. But she preferred his usual self. She felt like Eman did not only matured, but he seemed to change a lot after their mission. The Eman from before was a lively person, and the Eman now was a calm and collected person. But she was bugged by something. She had this feeling that Eman now was like a sharp sword in a sheathe. It was her honest feeling to the current him. Called it the intuition of a person who raised him.

Regardless, some people cheered for him, while some were looking at him disdainfully. Especially the people from the noble families.

Not too far from them, Hannah was looking at the group. She was having a conflicted feeling. She was standing without knowing what to do.

“Han! Let’s go!” Suddenly, she heard Ru-Han, her father, calling to her.

Seeing her did not move, “Han!” Her father called out once again. He wanted to return home immediately. The good mood was sullied. Ru-Han lost the appetite for the banquet. Too bad for the Gentlewind family though. Looks like they were neglectful in raising their descendants. But, even though he lost the mood for the banquet, coming here tonight was a good choice.

He learned something good. Looks like that kid had the means to heal a broken seed. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Ru-Han laughed inwardly.

Hannah and her mother, together with their guards, followed Ru-Han.

In the banquet.

Jura’s friend was wondering why Jura wouldn’t move.

“He’s under a paralysis.”

“What is that supposed to mean?! Did you say, he cannot walk anymore?!” His voice reverberated. ‘Wait, is that trash cheated in their duel?’ He thought. He stared at Yeman with disgust. “Don’t worry, it’s a temporary paralysis only,” he breathed a sigh of reliefs upon hearing the healer. But the disdain on his face was still there.

Although, no matter how angry he was, the person who was the cause of his bad temper was surrounded by beautiful flowers.

Even the other people around could not help but feel envy.

Night and Mina were staring at each other. In which sparks flying from their eyes.

But for some reason, Mina felt a little familiarity towards this girl. However, she could not remember where she saw her.

“By the way, Eman, who is she?” Mina asked. She wondered if Eman had finally moved on from his affection for Hannah.

Now that she thought about it, Eman from before the mission would always try to approach Hannah whenever he saw her. But Hannah would then push him away.

However, this time, even though he saw that girl, he didn’t try to approach her. Could it be, he moveone already? Probably, he gave up chasing after her.

While Mina was contemplating, she noticed Eman opened his mouth. “I work as her bodyguard. She is my boss,” Eman replied on Mina’s question a while ago.

“My name is Hemina Skyblaze.” Mina extended a hand but Night only looked at it without taking her hand.

Mina twitched her brow. ‘For real, this girl was so rude!’ She thought.

Yeman scratched the side of her face.

The expressionless Night had question marks floating above her head.

He then transmitted a telepathy to her of what to do. Mina with a crying face was about to take her hand, but Night grabbed it in haste, like a robot.

“...”

“Ack!” Mina groaned. “Hey, what are you doing?!” Mina shouted. “Nice to meet you. I’m Sol Reia!” Night said stiffly.

“O-okay... wait my hand!”

Seeing the pitiful Mina, he laughed wryly before transmitting another telepathy to Night. Mina with a crying face blew her sullen hand. She wondered what kind of gorilla strength this girl has. Wait, why did this girl have so much strength?! Mina asked in doubt. But Night was only staring at her with floating question marks above her head. The reason Night suddenly changed her way of looking at Mina was because she remembered her. It was that time when she first saw her lord. Mina was that girl who came together with him.

After Mina and Night finished introducing themselves to one another, the emperor called at him once again. Since he had proven his strength. No more doubts against him. He truly was the person who defeated the Rat Lord. Though no one knew how he did it. But the fight he showed just now was truly commendable.

That strength he showed just now, was it enough to kill the Rat Lord? No one knew, since no one was a witness of their fights. But right at this moment, he showed a spectacle. That even a commoner like him could beat someone of high stature such as the great noble families.

For some reason, the other commoners felt motivated.

As a person of great feats, the emperor wanted to grant him his reward. “Do you want money, women, jewelries, treasures, status or.....?”

Yeman fell silent and pondered. What he wanted? He wanted to live a peaceful life in this world. But could the emperor give that to him? No, not even god himself would grant it willingly.

So, what he wanted as a reward?

After a minute of pondering, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I want a...”
