The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 337 - No Help From Albert This Time

"You want me to see your students?"

It's afternoon of my free day, and Daniel and the others are playing together so I don't need to play with them. That's why I choose today to meet Albert and request him to meet my new students.

"Yes. I want to see if they can be trusted." I said.

"Sigh… Roy, I know that my lie detection is useful, but you can't always depend on me whenever you meet someone new. If it's like before with Fabio or Julia or even Spot, it was fine. But they are your students. You need to decide for yourself if they can be trusted or not. If you continue depending on me, I doubt you will be able to trust anyone else in your life other than those you already know." Albert advised.

He's not wrong, but it's a pain to do that myself. I just want it to be done quickly. That's why I asked Albert to see if they can be trusted.

It has been a few times I taught those new students. At first, like usual, it was every Monday. But they asked to have another class, so I scheduled it for Tuesday. Which mean I have to teach them twice every week.

I have gotten Daniel and Lana's permission for that so no hell will break loose this time.

The three new students are… now that I think about it, I never asked for their names. Well, that doesn't matter.

"Don't tell me that you hadn't even asked for their name yet?" Albert asked.

"How did you know?"

"I have known you for a while and that's something I expected of you. Just because you are terrible in memorizing name, doesn't mean you can just ignore the name of your students. Especially since you will see them for a long time. You're such a pain. Anyway, I won't do it." Albert said.

"Then I guess I don't need to trust them anyway. I just need to teach them like usual." I said.

"…you give up so easily. What if they became powerful in the future?" Albert asked.

"Then they will be powerful enough for you to notice and you will see them if they will join us destroying the cult or not. I'll take my leave now."

Since I have decided to not trust my students with the cult matter, I returned home.

I'll just teach them normally about air magic, without telling them anything more than necessary.

Hmm… now that I think about it, Albert is right. Ever since I met him, each time I met someone whom I think will be a reliable ally to us, I would ask him to meet them. And I almost never decide for myself if they can be trusted or not any longer.

Well, Albert is useful after all.

And I can't really trust anyone so easily anymore. Though I just blatantly told Angela and Kayla about returning from the future so easily in the past. But not anymore.

Especially since old man Henry's own son almost betrayed his kingdom. Who would have thought that someone old man wanted to appoint to be the next king belong to the cult?

I guess I will continue relying on Albert from now on.

Few days later, it's time for my class again.

I teach my students like usual. And we spend most of my lesson practicing outside.

Since there hasn't been any other students, I just said that my class will be outdoor all the time, so they don't have to go to the campus.

Now that the girls have been able to shoot their projectiles in a straight line, but their aim is still off. As for the boy, he's doing well. Although his range is low, he can hit the mark within twenty meters. Beyond that, he would either miss or hit the mark, but the power is too weak.

That's why I told him to focus on that twenty meters range. To improve his power and accuracy, and not be hasty and attack a target from beyond that range. Making sure that he would always hit the target within that range. That should be enough to defeat enemies.

He said that he started to work as a hunter, and able to defeat low-rank monsters on his own.

Since everyone also has made progress, I taught them about other things. Like making fire bigger with air magic.

The two girls seem to be fire mages both. I think fire element is the most common element to be awakened. That's why there are more fire mages than mage of other elements.

These two are not that talented in using Air Cannon. Although they have improved, they still think that wasn't enough. So, when I taught them that they can make fire bigger, they became overjoyed. Thinking that they are not useless anymore.

So… the reason these three finally joined my class is because they thought that they were useless in other classes. I guess that's to be expected.

After class is over, I was told to go to the guild and meet the guild master. I guess it's time to return and be the clan leader again.

When I was away, the guild still asked the clan for a job that is too difficult for other hunters to do. And the clan also received jobs from the nobles in the area as well. Must be Albert's influence.

Probably when I was away, Albert doing a major cleanup of the bad nobles. And somehow, he advertised our clan saying that his sister is in the clan. So, when the nobles needed something, they asked for our clan's help. And since they know that Shirley is with us, they don't cause trouble.

But now I have returned, I'm the one who have to take the job. What a pain. Seems like in the end, all hell will break loose.

"So, why am I here?' I asked the guild master.

"I have a job for your clan." He said.

"What job?"

"Cleaning up monsters."

"Huh? That should be something that other hunters would agree to do. Why ask my clan to do it?" I asked.

"…because of the tournament. The news has been spread that the tournament will begin next month, so most of the hunters who are interested in watching went over there. They don't even mind if they have to camp outside the town for a month when I told them that it will be too crowded. If you look at the guild, you can see that it's almost empty. They are all too excited to watch the tournament. That's why we lacked manpower and have to request your clan to do it. Please take this job! We will pay more than the normal fee!" The guild master pleaded.

Next month… I can go over there easily. That's why I never asked when the tournament will be. Kayla and the others also haven't gone yet. Maybe they will leave soon.

I should ask Dean if he has prepared a lodging for the participants. Maybe he has? My guess will be the Wendy's hotel back during the stampede. That should be where Kayla and the others will stay.

About the quest… I think I'll accept it.

"Fine, we'll take the quest. Where should we clean up the monsters?" I asked.

"Really!? Thank you! We need you to clean up the monsters on the road to Melk. There will possibly many people who are still want to go there. Though if you clean up other areas as well, that will be perfect." The guild master said.

"Understood. I'll take my leave now."

After returning to our base, I told the others that they don't need to take the quest.

"I'll use this chance to let Victoria and Shelia to grab some experience for me to improve my summoning level. Kayla, when will you leave to Melk?" I asked Kayla.

"In a few days. The rich man's son said we just need to take a carriage a few days before the tournament, but I think it's best for us to leave on foot. The four of us will leave together, but that rich man's son will leave alone. Although the one being tested is our individual strength, it's still a good idea for us to get to know each other. Though we already know each other." Kayla said.

"I guess Sara will tell me about her leave tomorrow. Since Melk will be crowded, I think Albert will ask me to get another leave from teaching again. And since both Sara and I will leave, I need to tell the other students to do self-study then."

Then, I summoned Shelia and told her and Victoria to subjugate as many monsters as possible without causing any trouble. I will also help whenever I feel bored.

Those who aren't participating can still go there with my portal later. Since Wendy is here as well, I asked if the place the participants will stay is her hotel from before, and I was right. She also said that the rooms we used from before are not for rent, so I can go to my room right away with portal.

I'll go there before the tournament. Today, I will defeat monsters until it's time to play with Daniel again.

Since not all hunters go to Melk, we still receive some help from other hunters. So, we decided to divide the location where we will defeat monsters so we won't interfere with each other.

This quest doesn't have time limit and we can report to the guild when we think that the numbers of monster appearing is low.

It's an easy job for Victoria and Shelia to do.. I hope I can get to advanced level in my summoning before the tournament between kingdoms.
