It was noon when Lathel met Alec. They walked through the forest until it was dark, then rested next to a giant tree.
This was Lathel’s first time entering the forest, and he had almost no survival skills at all.
Besides… he didn’t bring any food or water when he came to this world.
That’s why he could only rely on Alec to survive.
At this moment, Lathel felt a little lucky that he met Alec, otherwise, he was afraid that he would hardly be able to move comfortably in the forest.
Night fell and the temperature began to drop sharply. Even though Lathel felt a bit cold, he still tried to collect some wood and leaves, then let Alec build a fire.
Alec seemed to want to flex his magical power. At this moment, he raised his hand forward, then said a series of strange words.
Lathel knew that he was chanting magic.
That’s right, in this world, you couldn’t just wave your hand and create magic easily, you had to chant the spell.
To put it simply, spells were tools that turned energy into magical skills.
At this moment, a magic circle appeared in front of Alec’s hand, from that magic circle, a fireball the size of a tennis ball appeared.
It flew to the pile of firewood and dry leaves that Lathel had prepared and burst into flames.
Alec looked towards Lathel with eyes filled with confidence.
Lathel: “…”
‘What the hell? Is that all? What is that look? Do you want me to praise you?’
Lathel felt a bit vexed due to Alec’s stupid expression. However, he could not disappoint the main character.
Lathel forced a smile and clapped his hands, his face showing a little surprise.
“Ah! Amazing! Alec, can you use magic?”
Alec smiled and sat near the fire: “That’s right. Hahaha… surprise? This is just basic magic. I also know a lot of advanced magic.”
Lathel sighed and walked closer to the fire to sit and warm himself.
“Lathel…” Suddenly, Alec spoke.
Lathel raised his head and saw Alec take out a hand-sized cake from his pocket. He broke half of that cake and gave it to Lathel.
“Try it, I bought it in a nearby town. Even though it’s not delicious, it can help fill our stomachs.”
Lathel accepted the cake from Alec, then began to eat it.
As lathel chewed the cake in his mouth, he felt like he was chewing grass. This cake had no flavor at all, he felt like it was made from pureed grass, then cooked and pressed into an oval shape.
However, Lathel did not complain, after all he needed to eat something to fill his empty stomach.
“Lathel, can you use magic?” Alec suddenly spoke: “What I mean is… you have Talent, right?”
Lathel glanced at Alec. He thought for a moment and then said: “Sigh, I have a Talent, but its Rank is not high, it’s only Rank F.”
“Heh?!” Alec pretended to be surprised, he said: “What is your talent?” Ah! Sorry, it’s everyone’s secret, I shouldn’t ask.”
Lathel shook her head: “It’s okay, anyway, my Talent is just a low rank Talent, there’s nothing to hide.”
“My talent is Earth Elemental, maybe in the future I can only become a construction worker.” .𝒎
In order to make Alec less suspicious about his past, he added: “With such low talent, my desire to avenge the people in my village is also extinguished. Haizzz…”
Alec now laughed loudly: “Hahaha… don’t be discouraged. Men must be confident, even if your Talent is only Rank F, I believe that in the future you will possess a Talent of a higher level than that.”
Hearing that, Lathel just shook his head and sighed. Lathel knew for sure that in the future, he could get a high Rank talent thanks to the ‘Sign in System’.
In reality, to possess another high-level Talent is almost impossible.
Of course, in this world there were also several methods for a person to evolve their Talent or acquire an additional high-level Talent.
However, those methods were extremely dangerous and they all had a failure rate of almost 99.9%.
If those methods could easily evolve their Talents or help them possess more Talents then this world would not need to divide Talent levels.
“What about you?” Lathel asked: “You certainly also possess Talent, right? Looking at how you use magic, I guess your Talent is Fire Elemental, right?”
Alec shook his head: “Not really. Hm… Lathel, can I trust you?”
“Heh?! Why do you ask like that?” Lathel asked confusedly.
Alec laughed and said: “Hahaha… Don’t you feel that we are very similar?”
“The places where you and I live were both destroyed by monsters which caused us to wander this wide world.”
“We also think of exterminating monsters to avenge the dead.” .𝒎
“I feel that meeting you is an arrangement of fate. After all, on this long journey, having another companion is better than being alone, right?”
Lathel: “…”
‘What the hell? Excuse me… I’m not a girl, you don’t have to use those flattering words to trick me.’
Lathel felt goosebumps when he heard what Alec had just said. It was so cheesy it was nauseating.
He tried to calm down, then said: “But… Alec, my Talent is very low, I’m afraid that if I follow you, I will slow you down. ”
Lathel said that because he also didn’t want to be near Alec.
Why?
Alec is the main character, and he certainly had many enemies, even some extremely powerful enemies.
Since Alec had the aura of a main character, he will definitely not die. But Lathel was different, as he was just a normal supporting character.
If he isn’t careful and gets killed by Alec’s enemy, he will definitely die because he doesn’t have the protagonist’s aura.
He only had one life, if he dies here, all his dreams will end.
“No problem!” Alec smiled and said: “I don’t care about those issues. To me, loyalty and friendship are much higher than Talent Rank.”
As soon as Alec finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden box.
“Take it.”
Lathel looked at the box, then at Alec.
Alec thought Lathel was worried so he explained: “Don’t worry. This is an energy medicine that will increase the energy storage capacity within your body.”
“Why did you give me this?” Lathel asked, his eyes filled with caution.
“If you trust me, use it. This proves that I don’t care what your talent and rank are.” Alec smiled confidently.
“Good!” Suddenly, Lathel changed his expression, his face showing happiness: “Thank you. In the past two years I have not made any friends, so you are my first friend.”
“Hahaha… well, then I won’t hide it from you. In fact, I am not a magician.” Alec said.
“Are you a Swordsman?” Lathel looked at the sword behind Alec and said, but then he rejected that thought: “No, you just used magic just now. Could it be… you are a Magic-Swordsman?”
“That’s right.” Alec nodded, his face seemingly showing the words ‘flexing’ very clearly.
Lathel: “…”
He felt really nauseous, but in the end he had to try to act a little surprised.
“Wow! You are amazing, I heard that a Magic – Swordsman is a very rare Job, is that true?
“Of course…” Alec felt that his nostrils were about to grow as long as Ussop’s due to Lathel’s complement: “You might only find one Magic – Swordsman In the midst of 10,000 Magicians so its very rare.”
“Heh?! So… surely your rank will be very high, right?”
“This…” Alec felt like one step was going to heaven, the second step was just going to hell: “I… actually… my rank is only E.”
“But I believe in the future, I can evolve to Rank A, or even Rank S.”
Alec said confidently.
Lathel shook his head, refusing to comment. After all, Alec is the main character, so he will definitely do the impossible.
“So… are you planning to go to the Karol Empire’s royal magic academy?” Alec asked: “I’m also planning to go there.”
Lathel thought, then shook his head: “No, I can’t go there.”
“Why?”
“Because my rank is very low, I’m afraid they won’t accept an F Rank person like me. Besides… I don’t have money, the magic academy also only accepts nobles, and the tuition is extremely high.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“Maybe… I will find a magician who needs a helper, and if I’m lucky, I’ll become that magician’s student.”
Alec frowned and shouted: “No way. As men, our will must be as great as this world.”
“At least we have to try once, even if we fail, at least we tried our best.”
Lathel: “…”
‘That’s right. You are the main character, even if you don’t try, you will still succeed.’
“As for money… don’t worry, I have some medicine. If I sell it, I can earn a small amount of money that will be enough for us to live.” Alec said confidently.
Lathel rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
‘Hm… actually, I don’t want to enter the royal academy at all. That place is definitely the main character’s beginner map.’
‘If I can enter the royal academy, besides watching him face-slapping others and flexing, I can at least learn magic.’
‘Besides… I’ve also come to this world, I should also see what the continent’s largest Empire and its magic students look like.’
‘Okay… it’s fine to consider this a trip.’
After thinking about it, Lathel said: “Um… you’re right, I’ll try it too. Even though there is a high chance of failure, I will at least try .”
“Hahaha…” Alec smiled and said: “It’s okay, I guarantee you will be able to enter the royal magic academy.”
Lathel nodded and said nothing more.
‘That’s right, if I can’t enter the magic academy then you’ll lose a servant to do your chores, right?’
