Chat Group For Magicians

The girl looked at me in a strange manner like she was staring at a foreign individual that is far from human. It was like she is currently thinking that I am a monster.

"You are abnormal. I have no other words to say about you, you are an abnormality."

"I don't know if that was a compliment or just mockery."

"I can say that it is both."

"Ugh…"

"An individual like you will be a monster if you try to learn all spells by reading and memorizing the steps. Also, I would be forever baffled if you get another familiar."

"I don't think I can get another Familiar. From the looks of it, three is my limit of familiars. I doubt I can get another familiar if I accept their contracts."

"I don't know about that but if that was what you are saying then I will try to believe it. Anyways, I am going to sleep."

"What about dinner?"

"There's no need. I am not hungry."

After that, she closed her eyes and put her arms crossed. I scratch my head as I glance at her. She seemed mysterious at first and you think she is a silent person but she is actually a very talkative person. Looks like you really can't judge a book by its cover.

While I keep the fire alive by feeding it with sticks from time to time, Yuri and Yuto arrived while carrying a young boar with three tusks on its mouth.

"Master, we hunted a monster that we can eat for dinner!" Yuto announced as he put the dead boar to the ground.

"Good. This is what we needed. Thanks to both of you."

The two nodded and I quickly helped them by giving them their supply of mana which Yuri immediately grabbed to consume. The night is good with my belly full.

Even though the girl did not want any piece of food, I left her with a slight amount of food. I am not a cruel guy who leaves someone in hunger. My conscience will stop me from being cold.

…

It's been a few hours. I still don't feel sleepy and I think this is the side effect of becoming a magician. Lately, sleeping seems to be unnecessary to my lifestyle anymore. It was like I don't have the need for it anymore. However, it would take a few days before the sleepiness kicks in. Still, if I continue to improve my mana capacity and my magic power increase then it might cause me to no longer need any sleep forever.

When the sun started rising on the horizon, I stood up and stretched out a little bit before looking around the area. Activating the mana scan, I sighed in relief and poured some water on the campfire.

I also noticed that the girl is already awake and she is just observing my actions.

"Morning, did you sleep well last night?" I asked.

"It's the same thing. Magicians do not need to sleep, a well rest can help to keep your mind intact."

Just as I was about to answer, I suddenly felt rumbles on the ground. It is getting stronger and seems to be getting nearer.

Without hesitation, I ordered my familiars to get recalled. Since I didn't leave anything on the ground, I don't need to grab anything. I rush forward and grab the waist of the girl.

"Kyaaah! What are you doing?!"

"Sorry, but we need to get out of here and get to a higher ground," I said and activated my shoes to blast out, increasing my movement speed.

There is a tall rock cliff on the area and it is high above the ground. Focusing my eyes on that area, I jumped from the ground. Of course, to reach the area, I need momentum and with the help of several rock formations, I managed to reach the area without problems.

"You should have told me that you will do that! I can do that myself!" The girl pouted.

"Ah, sorry. I was in a rush so I forgot to ask permission."

"So what is your explanation why you carried me up here then?"

"There might be a stampede and we might get crushed if we continue below the ground," I explained.

"A stampede?"

I nodded. To be exact, I did not just felt it, I also saw it, to be precise, from the usage of mana scan that allows me to see the approaching stampede of beasts.

Soon, the trees not too far from our campground, the smoke and dust started to rise up on the ground and the sound of hooves galloping started to ring in our ears.

The rampaging beasts appeared after a few while and started to crumple on the area. Their hooves caused the stampede and with them rushing through, you think there is an earthquake.

"Bronze Stallions!" The girl exclaimed as she looked at the beasts.

"Bronze stallions?" I scratched my head.

"They are the most common monsters in meadows in this alternate Earth. You can say that they are the wildebeest's versions in this place. However, even though they are common, it was being said that once they band together, they are one of the most dangerous existence you will face in this place. What are they doing here?! They should only be located mostly on the clearings!"

The beasts continue to run on the ground and even though we are above on the stampede. Just as we observe when the stampede will stop, my whole body started to shiver and my whole body is being heavy and unresponsive. Even though I wanted to move, it seems like I was paralyzed by the enemy.

"What is this huge pressure weighing above us?!" The girl gritted her teeth as sweat started to drip on her forehead.

Then, I heard a flapping sound and a strong roar that my ears seem to get deaf due to the strong power is released from the roar.

"What monster is that?!"

My question was quickly answered when I saw the monster in the sky, flapping its large wings. This was the first time I got scared in my entire life. Not even the strictest teacher in my school and the horror movies cause me to tremble so hard like this.

The monster itself is something that only appears as bosses in games and one of the most famous creatures in the fantasy world. They can be seen as winged lizards. The Dragons...
