The Only Aura User In Magic World Chapter 144: Playing Hero

Chapter 144: Playing Hero

After my stupid antics yesterday, today I'm welcoming the three girls who have just arrived at the hotel.

"Sophie! Candy! Lina! I missed you all!" I said to them as soon as I saw the three girls arrived.

"Roy! You are still under punishment for what you did yesterday! I told you to clean up the bas.e.m.e.nt so return there immediately!" Ms. Wendy shouted at me.

"Sorry!"

"What did he do yesterday?" Candy asked Ms. Wendy.

"Well, he acted impulsively and it might ended up making the cult be more wary toward our plans. He needed to be punished for it." Ms. Wendy.

"I'm innocent!" I said as I prepare to return to the bas.e.m.e.nt to clean it.

"In front of the public during yesterday practical exam, he secretly shows his strength. It was him who said to keep Kayla's and Angela's true strength a secret, but he ended up showing a little show of strength. Although he managed to keep his ident.i.ty as secret, he still need to be punished for it."

Ms. Wendy then explains what happened during the exam. How after Angela's turn, Mr. Wig called me to proof my strength. Then knowing that Mr. Wig only called me to make fun of me, I impulsively shot a b.u.t.ton I stole from a guy near me with Air Cannon.

"Well, that's just like Roy. I think he did it because of different reason, but you can still punish him anyway." Sophie said.

"Really? Roy! What reason do you have for doing what you did?" Ms. Wendy called me again before I return to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Why did I take too long to go to the bas.e.m.e.nt? It's because of my special skill 'Slow Walking'. I just don't want to return cleaning the bas.e.m.e.nt. I mean how come the bas.e.m.e.nt is much wider than the first floor of the hotel? Did Ms. Wendy actually bought all the land near this hotel and build the bas.e.m.e.nt?

By the way, after being called by Ms. Wendy, I responded lazily.

"I just want to test my power."

"Make sure the whole place is cleaned completely." Ms. Wendy then talked to Candy about the plan.

More importantly, the construction is terrible! I mean looking around, I can only see that this bas.e.m.e.nt is crudely built. It's like the constructor just go 'we can just dig under the building and made some pillar to support the hotel'.

There's a lot of rubbles from the construction left behind and I have to clean this on my own? How cruel!

This condition makes this place unfit to be an evacuation center.

When I return to the bas.e.m.e.nt, Kayla and Angela already helping me with the cleanup. And s.h.i.+rley is watching. Angela used her earth magic to flatten the floor while Kayla used her wand to lift heavy stones. It's also a good practice for her as well.

And seeing how they are really helpful, I choose to find somewhere to lay down.

"Hey! We're here to help you, so if you don't do anything, we'll leave! You can do the rest by yourself!" Angela shouted as she saw me trying to sleep.

"I'm up! What should I help you with?"

"Just the heavy stuffs."

"But Kayla already done it."

We both looked at Kayla who's using her wand to collect the stones and rubbles around the wand, then gather them in one spot and flatten them easily.

"That's a really good wand. Why didn't you give that to me?" Angela is jealous with Kayla who received the wand.

"Because Kayla is more creative than you. While you used your talent and exceptional strength of your magic, Kayla used her creativity. After all, she's smarter than you."

Then we continued to work while chatting. About how useful Kayla's wand is. Unlike Blobby who transform her own body, Kayla's wand used the earth and shape it to Kayla's will.

After a while, more people entered the bas.e.m.e.nt. They were Sophie, Lina, Hill, and Victoria who has just returned from hunting monsters. She hunt monsters everyday to help reduce the number of monsters during the stampede along with other agents.

"You all coming here to help? Thank you!"

"No. I'm just here to offer you a bath together with me." Hill said jokingly.

"Never in all of my lifetimes!" I replied.

"Well, seems like you don't need our help after all. I talked with Sophie and she said that you didn't act impulsively in the exam. Is that true?" Hill asked the true reason why I purposely gained the cult's attention.

Seeing everyone here is people I can trust, other than Hill with my back, I answered truthfully. Back in the lobby, there are other agents there so I didn't answer honestly.

"Because of these two." I pointed my finger to Kayla and Angela.

"Those two?" Hill and s.h.i.+rley confused with my answer. But as for the others, somehow they expected this answer from me.

"Both of them gained too much attention with their show of strength despite holding back. The cult should have been wary of them and maybe trying to recruit them. But I intervened by showing them that there are someone dangerous in this city. They should be trying to find me now. But they will never suspect me because of my 8 attack power." I explained my reason.

"So you're diverting their attention from the two girls to you? And risking our plans by doing it?" Hill asked.

"Honestly, I don't care anymore if the cult ended up destroying this city or not. I just don't want anyone precious to me be in danger. I don't have anyone like that in the past, but I have a lot of them now. I don't care about any kingdom. I just hope everyone I care about and I can live peacefully."

"Protecting those important to you? That's so sweet of you! Am I included in that?" Hill asked.

"Mmm… maybe. If I have to rank you in the group, you will always in the last rank of people I want to save. So If I have to choose between you or anyone else in the group, I will just let you die."

"But you still thinking of me! How sweet!"

Hill is always happy with whatever answers I gave him. And I have learned to ignore him when he's like that.

"Does everyone here already know that?" It was s.h.i.+rley who asked.

"No. We just know he had different reason why he did what he did. But we don't know what it is." Angela replied s.h.i.+rley's question.

"I know I can trust him. He's my boyfriend." Sophie said proudly.

"Our boyfriend. Candy included." Kayla corrected Sophie's word.

"Well, looks like the bas.e.m.e.nt already cleaned up pretty well. I hope Ms. Wendy is satisfied with this. What do you think?" I turned my head to the entrance of the bas.e.m.e.nt where Ms. Wendy is eavesdropping us together with Candy.

"I think it's good enough. Are you going somewhere?"

"Another cleaning up ch.o.r.es. Victoria, let's go."

Victoria and I left the hotel together. Just like usual, Victoria is a grappling hook.

"You haven't told the others what kind of cleaning that we do?"

"I believe they already know. Let's find some dirt."

The cleaning that we do is killing the members of the cult sneakily. Or make it seem as if it was an accident or they are being mugged.

I have told Ms. Wendy and the others the members of the cult that often goes out in the city or hunters who have HGB in their mouth. But there are still some of them hiding in the dark. Even investigating them proven to be difficult, so I'll just kill them.

Soon there will be a rumor about a vigilante running wild and killing people. Well, for some I might be a vigilante who helped people, but for the cult I am a criminal.

It was because the people I targeted are mostly criminal from the mafia or similar to that. Acting on myself to do some justice. Well, if the targets are not criminal, I just kill them sneakily or making it looks like the targets were robbed.

So far, there have been no rumors about me yet. But it will spread soon because of what I did in the exam. I'd say I'm pretty smart.

We usually did this when it's dark, but it's still noon. There are not many of bad guys appearing while it's bright, but there are still some who dare to come out. I killed the bad guy and look for a cult members nearby to make it seems like the bad guy is the one killing them.

I used my Ninja outfit to do this job. But when it's dark, Victoria always complaining to me saying that she want my disguise to be wearing a flying mammal mask. Must be something from her world again. I just ignore it though.

But after a few days, she keeps insisting. So I gave up partially. I heard that the masked vigilante from her world is wearing a cape, so I told her the cape is fine but not everything else.

Now I'm Caped Ninja playing hero.
