Arriving at a deserted place, I quickly held her small hand tightly, making her stop pinching my waist.
"Tell me, when did you learn this flight magic? Why didn't I know? Didn't you say I should trust you? You didn't even tell me about such powerful magic; how am I supposed to trust you?"
"Oh, my little princess, don't cry precious tears, it would be such a waste! I truly didn't hide it from you. When I researched this magic, my first thought was to tell you. But at that time, the magic couldn't carry a person. I thought it would be lonely if only I could fly, right? So I never told you, with the intention that one day I could give you a surprise, becoming your wings so we could soar through the sky together."
After saying that, even I admired my skill at coaxing girls. I was truly becoming more and more of a scoundrel.
Hearing what I said, Izoruti stopped crying. Like a woman deeply in love, she looked at me with affectionate eyes.
I didn't say much more, just held her tight.
Then I cast the spell, taking us both up into the sky.
In the air, she held me even tighter. I tried my best to use Wind Magic to form a wind shield to block the incoming wind.
In the air, holding her, I pressed my lips against hers.
I don't know if it was the suspension bridge effect, but she responded passionately to me in the air too. Our bodies floated weightlessly among the clouds, our robes fluttering like butterfly wings, yet binding each other tighter. My palm supported the back of her neck, my knuckles sinking into her hair, her hands clinging to my back, her fingertips almost digging into my skin, as if letting go for a moment would cause us to fall into the mortal dust. The heat of our interlocking lips and the biting cold wind at high altitude created a marvelous contrast. Every breath exchanged trembling gasps, like two entwined vines stubbornly coexisting in the wind.
We kissed until my magic was nearly exhausted before stopping. I flew with her towards the inn. As soon as Izoruti landed, she shyly retreated to her room. I hoped she could slowly recover!
The next day at noon, the three of us from Dawn arrived at the Adventurers Guild. My ability to fly had been spread among the Adventurers as if I were a Child of God. It seems that when dealing with things they cannot understand, humans tend to imagine the issue as more superstitious.
The one-eyed Clark was true to his word. According to him, I couldn't break my promise in front of so many Adventurers; if I did, I wouldn't be able to continue in this profession.
Fortunately, it was only for two years. He had explained to 'Thunderbolt' that he would return to lead the team after two years, so his teammates had already been assigned to other corporate teams.
However, there was one exception. Clark also brought along a mature woman, Niki Marshall, who should be Clark's mistress. She was a very competent scout. In Clark's previous team, she was responsible for scouting routes, but she also knew many skills like washing clothes, cooking, and preparing poisons, and even how to distinguish transfer magic circles.
Truly a qualified scout, we naturally welcomed such talent very warmly.
Because I showed off my skills in front of many Adventurers yesterday, many Adventurers came to sign up today. Unfortunately, there were relatively few Adventurers without a team who were at the High-Rank level.
I only managed to recruit two Magicians.
Damon Hodgson was a local from Sharia, a High-Rank Magician skilled in Earth attribute magic.
Gwen Gabriel was from the Millis Holy Kingdom and could use advanced healing magic and intermediate detoxification spells.
This lineup was already quite formidable.
Under the guidance of the veteran Adventurers, we avoided many detours.
We took on many quests that, although high in rank, were very easy to complete with sufficient preparation.
We reached A-Rank in just 4 months. The quest to collect Snow Dragon Beast scales was particularly memorable for me.
This monster was quite resistant to Water and Fire magic. Earth Magic was also difficult to hit it with.
But I used the Wind attribute Saint-Rank magic: Primal Veil Severance. I created a vacuum domain in front of us, and all the Snow Dragon Beasts that passed through this domain were sliced into pieces. The scene at that time was extremely brutal.
Finally, in that one adventure, we completed 5 A-Rank quests.
Current Status:
Team Name: Dawn
Team Rank: A
Team Members: 7
Team Quest Count: F 0 times, E 10 times, D 35 times, C 10 times, B 10 times, A 10 times, S 0 times
After reaching A-Rank, I decided to hurry to Senge City in the Heriel Kingdom as soon as possible. Counting from the time we arrived at Red Dragons Upper Jaw:
One and a half months to reach the Duchy of Bascherante, the second city, Rosenberg.
In Rosenberg, it took two and a half months to advance to C-Rank.
It took 1 month to travel to Sharia.
It took 4 months to advance to A-Rank in Sharia.
A total of 9 months have passed, leaving 1 year and 3 months until the deadline.
