Chapter 83: A different kind of Strength!
Kael walked carefully, making sure not to set off any traps or magic barriers placed by the mage user professors for protection.
Kael moved carefully through the dimly lit greenhouse, his eyes scanning the area.
"They say this place isn’t being watched closely... just a few detection spells set up by the second-year students," he muttered to himself.
He paused in front of a thick vine with twisted roots and strange red bulbs growing from it. This was Lurker’s Bane—a rare and valuable plant used to make stamina potions and energy recovery tonics.
Kael wasn’t skilled in alchemy. He couldn’t make potions like the others, but he had read about this plant in the original novel. He knew how important it could be in the days ahead.
And he knew these plants are mainly for the students.
But he left that area.
(I need to gather all the resources as much as I can)
(Because I am not as strong as other heroes.)
"I may not have the strength they do," he thought. "I can’t fight like a hero or win battles head-on. But that’s fine... I’ll prepare quietly, set traps, and use strategy. I’ll win in my own way."
"But why did I come here to the greenhouse area?"
He turned and vanished into the shadows once more.
