The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 153 - Gathering At The Guild

Unlike before when only orcs attacked the city, now there are many types of monsters attacking. As for orcs, several average guards can take care of one of them. And several experienced hunters can fight the Orc General. That's why even the people in this city doesn't really mind about it since they believe that the guards and hunters can handle it.

Back then, it was just groups of orcs who were lured to this city because of an idiot. And the numbers of the orcs that come can be handled pretty easily. Even experienced intermediate level mage can defeat several of them at once.

But now, not just the monsters varies. They come in large numbers as well. And some monsters are even stronger than Orc Generals. Now it's more appropriate to be called stampede than the last one.

The bell that mark the approaching danger was rung. It was also a call for all hunters to go to the guild. Although I have my own mission, I need to go to the guild so my hunter license won't be revoked. If the guild know that I'm in the city but refused a summon from the guild, my reputation as a hunter will be plummeted down and my hunter license will be revoked. I guess I should go over there now and see how the girls are doing.

As I entered the guild, I see the girls are being surrounded by men. Men who are holding their crotch in pain. I guess after a while away from this city, Kayla's nickname, the Nutcracker. Has been forgotten. And these guys are trying to flirt with the girls.

Kron is together with the guild leader discussing something. So I don't have any business with him since we have discussed our plan, so I just go to where the girls are. And the surrounding eyes are confused to see that a man can approach the girls safely. They don't know that the Nutcracker is my girlfriend.

The four girls standing side by side would of course gain everyone's attention. Especially when all of them are beauties. And I'm proud that two of them are my girlfriends.

Angela, Kayla, Sophie, and Shirley. Only these four from my group that come here. Lina is not a hunter and she stays in the hotel. Candy and Ms. Wendy both also aren't hunters. And they are looking for a chance to grab the governor along with some other agents.

"How's your hunt, Roy?" Shirley asked me worriedly while the other girls are still calm.

"Not bad. Just one more and I would have killed exactly two dozen."

I said while looking around and see that there are no cult members with HGB in their mouth in the guild.

While everyone is talking to each other, the guild master and Kron are trying to gain everyone's attention.

"Everyone! Be quiet!"

Once everyone is quiet, the guild master continued talking.

"There's a monsters stampede coming. And the monsters that come today is more in numbers and more varies so there are many kind of monsters. That's why the guild ask all of the hunters to participate in protecting the city from the monsters. Of course we will reward you. The reward will be counted according to how many monsters you defeated."

The guild master said something I already expected. Then he continued talking but I ignore him since there's no point in listening to someone who knows nothing. Should I tell him about the cult? And why is he talking for too long when it's an emergency?

"Come with me."

I told my party to follow me. And I approached the still speaking guild master.

"Alright, that's enough. We wasted too much time listening to him talking. You already know what's going on so you can arrange for yourself what you're going to do. I'll be borrowing the guild master. Kron, you also come with me."

Everyone is confused to see me suddenly take control of the situation and shamelessly stopped the guild master's speech. The guild master was angry but before he said anything, I used air magic to reduce the air he breathes in so he will have difficulty breathing and not have enough air to speak.

"Just shut up and follow me. We're going to your office."

I made the guild master walked in front of us and lead us to his office, where I undone my magic so he can breathe normally again.

"What do you think you're doing?!" The guild master was angry that I stopped his speech.

"Before you're getting angry, I'd like to introduce her to you. She is Shirley, his majesty King Albert's sister." I just quickly introduced Shirley to him.

"What?!"

"Nice to meet you guild master of Melk city. Like he said, I'm Shirley. The king's sister." Shirley offered her hand for a handshake, but instead the guild master kneeled in front of her.

"I apologize for my long speech. I know how important time is to you."

So this damn guild master know the speech is too long? I shouldn't have introduce Shirley and just leave right away. This guy is so annoying.

"Anyway, we don't have much time if you're going to continue talking so I stopped you. Other reason is because we're here on a mission which you will keep as absolute secret. Got it?"

"What kind of mission does her highness want me to help with? I'll do my best to help you in anything." The guild master agreed to help right away.

But instead of answering, Shirley is looking at me in confusion. I guess it's because we never made a plan about this so her mind can't keep up. And this is also something I just come up with after I entered the guild so of course no one knows about this.

"I'll do the talking. We're here to ask you about everything related to yesterday's quest. What's the quest is about? Who submitted that request? If the one who submitted the request didn't came here personally, who's the messenger? Any hunter who participate in that quest, or even civilians. The receptionist who took care of that request, and even what you did yesterday."

Hearing what I said, those who knows the truth should have realized why I'm asking this. Well, except for Angela who's making a confused expression on her face. But it's good that she stays silent.

"What is your mission is all about?" The guild master asked.

"You'll know soon enough. After the stampede is over, everything will be revealed. That's why you need to cut your speech so everyone is better prepared against the stampede. Do you have any report about yesterday's request?"

The guild master then looking for several written report and asked me what kind of request it was. I just told him the one with cheap reward and says for the good of the city. He found one instantly.

I checked the name of everyone related to the quest and I see… no one I know of. I don't know anyone whose names are written in this report so I just gave it to Kayla.

"Kayla, replace everyone whose name is written here."

"You asked me that because you don't know anyone, right? Maybe you should try to memorize everyone's name, you know? It will make things easier for all of us." Kayla replied.

"I'll try but no promise. I'll leave now to hunt those that I can see. I'll leave the rest to you. Guild master, help them in any way you can."

After I said that, I left the guild master's office. Now Kayla and the guild master will help each other to see if there are other cult members related to the mission. Some of them might not have a HGB in their mouth after all. They will see how the people in the list are related to the governor. And once they found one still in this city, Kayla can report it to one of the agents and have the agents investigate.

The guild is already empty after I left the office. Seems like the hunters have arranged where they will be placed and what their job is.

Now, it's time to go for another hunt.

Outside the guild, many people are running about in panic after hearing the stampede is coming. I see Hill's people disguising themselves as this city's guards trying to calm them down and told them to stay in their house. The citizens will only be evacuated once the monsters have entered the city, so they were told to stay in their house first.

But there are still many travelers who don't have any place to stay. Only those people are arranged to go to any one of the evacuation spot that Ms. Wendy has prepared. And so I'm looking to see if there are someone among them who has a HGB in their mouth.

And I see three of them staying in one location. So they are really hiding among the citizens.

I didn't try to do anything to make the people panic even more. I just inform Hill's people and some agents who's disguising themselves and hiding among the crowd about the cult members that I saw.

Ms. Wendy told me that they have prepared a plan in case that the cult members is hiding among the crowds. I should believe in them and search for another cult members.

When I was talking to one of the agents, the three cult members are talking with two other people who doesn't have HGB in their mouth. When the agent I'm talking to hear that, he looked at them and told me that the two guys are some kind of gang members in the area.

Well, if the ones the cult members interacting with are bad guys, everyone already agreed to just kill them along with the others if they can't be captured.

In any case, my job here is done and I will go look in another location. And while I'm going to the next area, I see that the monsters are already fighting the hunters near the gates.

I hope everyone will be safe.
