Chapter 79: The Bandit Raid Part 2
Kai was thinking to himself about how great it was that he scored Kassandra so easily. He thought it would take a few days, but with a little push, she became his.
Having a superpower, especially a Tier-10 mage, on his side would be super helpful. Nobles, while they were good in their own right, wouldn’t be as useful when it came to the influence a superpower had.
While they didn’t have as much wealth, they had way more power, and when someone is scared, they’ll do anything to become unscared.
’And I have the grace of that noble woman Kirlia Gryff as well. Sure, I could reveal to everyone that I’m the hero, but that’s no fun. Besides, having connections, regardless of my own status, is great. Even in my previous world, you could get out of a bad situation if you had the right connection...and money.’
"Hey, Kai, do you see that?" Gwen asked, pointing forward.
"Hmm?" He looked forward but didn’t see anything. "See what?"
"The segregation." Amaya pointed out.
"Segregation?"
"Mhmm, between ranks. Look. All the C-Ranks are walking in this blazing hot sun, the B-Ranks have a magic device that is keeping them cool in this weather, and the A and S ranks are inside those carriages."
Kai looked back around, and yeah, what Gwen and Amaya were saying was true. The C-Rank mages were trying their best to use ice magic to cool everyone down, but not all of them knew ice magic, and using it as an air conditioner didn’t bode well with their mana reserves.
"Damn. I already know how this is going to go. Gwen, Amaya, stay with me at all times. No matter what, don’t leave my side."
They didn’t plan on leaving his side in the first place, but they still wanted to know why.
