[1-200] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 112 - Meeting the Gale Group

Bryan and Brando bid farewell to Souta after they finished reporting the quest that they did.

"I'll go now, Souta. Let's party sometimes." Bryan said as he raised his hand above his head. He then turned around and left.

"Yeah, let's do that." Souta nodded at him.

"Thanks for accepting me in your party," Brando said as he slightly bowed his head.

"Don't mention it." Souta shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go now," Brando said with a smile.

"Be careful," Souta said before he turned around and went inside the Adventurers Guild.

He walked towards the quest board and looked at it. He wondered what quest should he take right now for him and Yuko. He would start training Yuko so that she could form her own monster orb.

If she managed that, then she would become a great asset to him in the future.

"Hmm... A quest for Yuko..." Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin.

Suddenly, someone called his name from behind.

"Souta!!"

Souta turned his head and saw a group of five people. "Oh? Brianna?" He exclaimed when he saw them and recalled that they were the Gale Group.

They were the party that was with Jimmy at that time when he came out of the Deep Forest.

The Gale Group approached him. Brianna, the leader of the group, smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you, Souta?"

"I'm fine. How about you?" Souta smiled and asked while looking at the rest of the group.

"We're doing fine. We are now a Rank C Adventurers."

The one who said those words was Tidor. A huge man wearing a full plate silver armor. He's almost two meters in height.

"I see... Well, I'm a Rank D right now." Souta smiled and said.

"Hahaha, I know. You've become famous these days. A tamer of the Red Fur Bear. We heard a lot of rumors about you." Tidor said as he patted Souta's shoulder. "You've grown a lot since the last time we saw you."

"Grown?" Souta looked at Tidor with a confused expression. "You know, I haven't gotten taller since the last time." He felt that Tidor was teasing him.

"No, I'm not talking about that." Tidor shook his head and said, "I'm talking about how you've become stronger in just a few months."

Everyone from the Gale Group nodded their head. When they first saw Souta they could easily guess his power level judging from the mana he's emitting. But now it's different, Souta wasn't emitting mana out of his body. It means that he gained full control over his mana.

At that time, Souta's [Mana Manipulation] skill was only level 1. He could only do limited things with his mana at that level but now, he could even use it to protect himself or pressure those who are weaker than him.

"Ah, that? Well, I've been training a lot from these past two months." Souta explained to them that he was training nonstop in the Ladro Institute.

"So you've passed the entrance examination?" Tim asked. He was a short man wearing a red robe with blue linings. His black hair almost covered his brown eyes. He was the mage of the Gale Group.

"Yeah, I'm currently a student of the Mage Class 1-B," Souta said to them.

A woman with shoulder-length black hair and glasses on her eyes. She had a beautiful face and a scar below her left eye across her cheek ruin it. Her name was Jane.

Jane looked around and asked Souta, "I'm wondering... Where's Yuko?"

Since Souta was here, she thought that Yuko was also here but she hasn't seen Yuko outside the guild either. It seems that Souta didn't bring Yuko with him.

"Yuko? She's in my house, guarding it." Souta replied to her.

"Since you're here in front of the quest board, you must be picking a quest. Am I right?" Jane smiled and asked him.

"Yeah." Souta nodded his head.

"Then, how about we party up and take the quest together." Jane proposed to him that they should party up just for once.

"That's a good idea. Right, captain?" Tidor laughed and looked at Brianna.

"Mm, it's really a good idea." Brianna gently smiled.

Tidor looked at Souta and asked, "How about it, Souta? Are you in?"

"Okay, but not now. How about a week later?" Souta nodded and said. If he's going to take a quest with Rank C Adventurers then he'll take those quest for Rank C with high rewards. Also, it's already late and he had to go to the institute tomorrow.

"Sure, we have a lot of free time." Brianna smiled and nodded at him. They knew that Souta was a student at Ladro Institute, so they understood that he didn't have a lot of free time.

Souta bid farewell to the Gale Group before he went back to his house. He planned to take a quest for Yuko but something came up, so he had to postpone it. Well, it doesn't matter as he will bring Yuko with him in their quest.

...

It was already dark when someone rang Lumilia's doorbell.

Lumilia was currently eating dinner with Cluster.

Lumilia heard it and wondered who is it. She turned her head and looked at the clock. This whole apartment was Ladro Institute's property. If the guard let this person in then it must be someone she knew.

She stood up and walked towards the door. She grabbed the doorknob and opened it only to found Fred and Jusmin outside.

"Fred, why are you here?" Lumilia asked as she opened the door and made a way for Fred to enter. It was then that she noticed that Fred had a gloomy atmosphere around him.

"What's wrong with Fred, Jusmin?" Lumilia looked at Jusmin and asked.

"Young miss... We came here to pass you this letter from our lord." Jusmin lowered her head and she reached out her hands towards Lumilia. There was a white letter in her hands.
