Chapter 108 Determination To Grow

Rey was still reeling from shock after everything he had just experienced.

He touched his face and remembered how the crazy girl known as Belle kept poking him and laughing about it.

"She's crazy..." Rey muttered with wide open eyes.

'If I wasn't careful... I would have completely fallen under her spell. That's too dangerous!'

Back then, when she was moving closer to him, his [Danger Sense] Skill kept sending alarms to his head.

Rey was so glad he listened.

He used [Blindness] to shut off his eyes and [Grand Sound Magic] to ensure his ears wouldn't hear a single thing that Belle said.

Since he knew the conditions for activating [Grand Charm], a Skill he already had, it wasn't too difficult to avoid it.

It wasn't until his [Danger Sense] died down that he deactivated his [Blindness] and allowed her words to be audible again.

He used the [Mimic] Skill to replicate Alicia's glowing eyes and his Class privilege let him fake the part of being under Belle's control.

If that hadn't been the case, he probably wouldn't have gotten away with it.

'It seems my Level isn't high enough to resist that Skill. It's too dangerous...'

Rey had the Skill, and he knew how it operated. He had also tested it out on monsters, but since every enemy he faced was considerably weaker than him, he never felt like it was too powerful. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

But now he understood.

"It's in A-Tier for a reason..." He whispered.

"Still... to think that was her goal all along..."

Since he was in his right senses throughout the entire ordeal, Rey heard everything Belle mumbled to herself.

.... Everything!

'So she's after Alicia and Adonis, huh? That's insane. What did they ever do to her?'

Rey knew it wasn't any of his business, but he found such a radical switch in personality to be very perplexing for him.

'I guess I'm not the only one keeping secrets...'

Thankfully, from what he heard, she didn't plan on enacting her evil scheme anytime soon.

That meant they were both safe... for now.

"I should probably just pretend like I'm under her influence for the time being."

There was nothing to gain from making Belle his enemy.

From what he heard, she literally had the entire class wrapped around her little finger.

Belle also had more credibility and importance to the United Human Alliance and their Royal Council than he did.

If he tried to stir something, she could end up letting it backfire on him.

'And I doubt the Council will pick me over her.'

Rey knew he could probably try to work from the shadows to stop her, but he found all of that to be unnecessary.

This wasn't even his fight.

The threat that they would return caused his heart to ache, but that only made Adonis grip his blade even harder.

Resolve pervaded the entirety of his demeanor as he perfected his stance.

'I won't let anyone else get hurt...'

He took comfort in the happy memories he had in this second chance he had.

He was able to come out of his shell more, have new friends, find new people... have a lot more fun.

But also... he had been able to get stronger!

As a Level 10 Hero, Adonis was as strong as a Level 100 Commoner.

Still...

"... It's not enough!" He yelled out.

There was no way he could afford to get complacent now.

The monsters he had to face were a lot more powerful than commoners. If he wanted to reach their level, he had to grow a lot stronger.

'Brutus should be back from the Dungeon very soon. Probably in a few days...'

Once he returned, they would get back on track and the events were going to play out exactly the way they were supposed to.

'I got the Item I wanted. I'll use it to open a fissure in space and draw in stronger monsters so I can Level Up faster.'

If possible, others would also be able to get much stronger with the experience.

Adonis knew it would be scary for them. He was sorry about that.

However, it had to be done.

'I need to be at least Level 50 before I can confidently say I can take down a Dragon.'

Adonis feared for his classmates who didn't know what despair awaited them with the Dragons that were still nothing more than looming threats at present.

People like Rey came to his mind, and Adonis couldn't help but make a sad smile.

'One day... maybe he'll be strong. But, he doesn't have to be.'

That was why HE was here!

To make sure Rey, and his other classmates, wouldn't suffer the way they did the last time.

"I'll change everything..." Adonis muttered to himself, once again swinging his blade and sending sweat splashing all around him.

"... And I'll save everyone!"
