I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 15: First Power(2)

After hours of running and a couple of rest, the group finally arrived at the Ceb City Gate.

They all plopped down on the ground. Selena catches her breath and spoke in a tired tone.

"L-let's take the carriage next time... Huff, please."

"Great idea... Haa!"

Spencer agreed and breathed heavily, even though he is a highest grade mage, tiredness is inevitable. He then looked at Luke who seemed fine while standing tall and asked in a confused voice.

"How the hell are you fine?"

"...I don't know either."

Selena butted in while holding her chest.

"It's because of the God of Light's blessing..."

"What? How?"

"That blessing instantly heals you if there are even the smallest of abnormalities in your body. It is more effective if you are near me. It seems like it kept restoring your energy and stabilizes your condition... Damn, I'm jealous."

Luke then asked in a curious voice.

"Then why are you not fine?"

Selena stood up and frowned deeply.

"That god gives someone his blessings and support to the person who amuses him or gave him a good laugh... That God is like a child seeking fun after being locked up in his room for weeks."

"... And I gave him fun? What am I? A clown?"

Selena stared at Luke with a blank stare.

"Even I will laugh my ass off if someone was so eager to become a man immediately."

Luke frowned and turned his head away from Selena. He then looked at the children who were beginning to stand up one by one. Luke then gave them drinking water, the children drank the water and stared at the City gate in front of them. Josh then gave his comment.

"So big."

Michael then looked at Luke and asked.

"What are we gonna do here brother?"

Luke looked at the children who are waiting for his answer, he also saw Selena and Spencer looking at him. He then answered the question like it was nothing.

"I'll go climb Mount Ceb."

The whole group went silent. Then a barrage of complaints came pouring in at an instant. Luke feels like his ears will fall off.

"Mount Ceb?! Isn't that a place where monsters live?!"

"You'll get hurt!!"

"I'm coming with you!"

"You can't!! It's dangerous!"

"You might die!"

"You stupid idiot. You're courting death."

• Even though I know I'll come with you, I still think it's dangerous. What are you going to do there anyway?

Luke frowned and then put his palm in front of their faces and they all stopped talking. He then started to dig his ears and then talked in an annoyed voice.

"Hey, don't worry I'll be fine. I'll take Nash with me. I bet that even if those monsters ganged up on Nash, he'll defeat them in an instant."

The group looked at him like they are not convinced, Luke just massaged his temples and then put his hand in his coat's pocket. He then took out the gold remaining in his pocket that he got from the crown prince and pushed it towards Selena.
