Chapter 104 Ch 102: The Gate [Pt1]

"Yohan? That doesn't sound like a local name to me. But I will not ask you too many difficult questions since I can see that you don't want to answer them. I should also introduce myself, right?"

Now that there was a deal that had been signed between Yohan and this priest, he was no longer on edge. This human had no idea what a difficult situation he had placed himself into.

"My name is Bruce Y. Hanshew, 666th heir to the Temple of light's crest. I hope we get along well in the future."

The Head Priest gave a small bow. His wild black hair and acidic green eyes made his dark skin jump out and become striking. His energy flashed out toward Yohan all of a sudden but Yohan decided not to take a step back from him.

The Priest thought that Yohan was a creature of light and was there to help him. This minor discomfort of being stung by the light was worth it to maintain this illusion.

"So, now that we have become acquaintances, can you show me to a place I can stay at? I accidentally ended up here so I don't have a place to stay yet."

Bruce looked at Yohan in disbelief. Yohan just smiled back at him, not even a little ashamed for asking such a big favor from the priest in front of him.

And it was not like it mattered when the Head Priest had been the one to purpose hiding Yohan anyway. So he had no business being this shocked when Yohan decided to take advantage of his offer.

"Fine. I can't have anything prepared out of the blue but I will see what I can do for you by the end of the day. Come and find me back here in the evening. And try to not get yourself in trouble."

Yohan was amused by the fact that he was asked to not get himself in trouble by someone whom he had just met today.

This priest reminded Yohan somewhat of Zane but without any caution. It helped Yohan trust this man just a little bit more.

"Don't worry man. I promise to try and behave. And I also promise to come and find you first if I ever feel like I am in trouble. Alright?"

Yohan was out of the door before the Head Preist could say something back. The man was left open-jawed in front of the door before he clutched his head.

After Yohan had duped the Head Preist like that, he quickly exited the temple. This time, the pressure he had felt when he entered the world was not there.

Yohan was finally out of the temple's safety and this was the real test for him to be able to use his magic. Since he was still in the barren land around the temple, it was the right place for him to try various things out.

His magic was also not restricted in any way, shape, or form. He flexed his hands and watched as electricity danced around his fingers. He left his magic alone as soon as he had confirmed that he could still use it.

It was annoying to feel his magic passing through his system before Yohan could freely use it. But this small annoyance was more than well worth it if it allowed Yohan to use his magic freely.

"Now, let's see what this world is like. I did not get a good aerial view before I was shot down. The only thing I could gather was that this should be a more technologically advanced world than my native one…"

Yohan's words faded as soon as he walked out of the forest. The world in front of him changed from the greenness of the forest to an image that could have been ripped right from a sci-fi movie.

Tall building dominated the landscape and it was connected by bridges. Various flying cars and other machinery floated all over the place and it was all held together by the technically advanced procedure.

Yohan could feel magic in the air looking him over. It was trying to gauge if he was an intruder or not since he did not have a registered medium to channel his magic through.

Yohan approached the city boundary with sure steps. He was fast, accurate, and filled with confidence when he approached the scanner.

With the systems' assurance on his side, Yohan was certain that he would never be caught. The scanner's magic invaded Yohans' body and he felt the confusion and resistance they were facing.

Yohan's confidence faltered for a single moment but then he regained it the very next second when the foreign magic began to calm down.

The scanning finally finished not soon after Yohan's system gave him this message. He was still worried about what those ??? meant on his screen but he had no time to ask that question from the system.

Especially since someone kicked him from behind and it caused Yohan to stumble.

"Hey man, can't you see that the light already turned green? What are you waiting around for? Hurry up and enter the town so that we can follow after you."

Yohan looked back at the lady and her gang who had pushed him aside. They had a rude smile on thier face and their intention of picking a fight with him showed clearly on their faces.

On a normal day, Yohan would have fought with them but he was trying to keep a low profile in his current state.

He was still not acquainted with the law of this world. He did not want to give up his advantage this early. So he decided to bide his time for now and take care of these people at a later date.

Besides, there were too many people around to kill these ignorant people and rid this world of their stupidity. The world will have to suffer a bit more for the time being.

"Come on sis. Look at the poor terrified man and cut him some slack. Not everyone is built like you after all."

Follower no. 1 laughed as she rested her hand on the blond leader's shoulder. Yohan was not sure if there was something wrong with this place or if it was just his luck. But everyone he had met thus far had a darker skin tone than he was used to seeing

"Yeah, sis. This guy is not worth it. We should, like, totally leave him out here. Ah, the gate. It is closing! We need to hurry."

Yohan's lack of action seemed to be causing the blond leader to lose interest but she quickly looked up when she heard her subordinate talk about the gate.

"You idiot. You should have said this before. Everyone, hurry up and go inside before the gate closes."

The blond leader pointed toward the gate and everyone hurried past Yohan. He watched them all leave with curious eyes, tracking their moments with his eyes.
