Chapter 303: Ch 306: A Sudden Mission
After going to the head master's room, Lopas and Luna were served expensive tea and delicious cookies while the head master took Rein to a separate room to have a private conversation. What he mentioned was the plan that he had come up with in order to train Rein and his two lovers who were better than anyone else in the whole kingdom.
According to his plan, he would be making Rein, Lopas and Luna into special students. Special students were sent to other nations to compete with their best students in various matters. So the head master choosing them as special students showed how much he believed in their potential.
Normally all the special students were at least 14 or 15 years old. So at least in this nation's history, 8 year old special students were unheard of. So even with the support of the headmaster, the royal family and the ducal family, giving them that status would not be easy as the special students enjoyed a lot of privileges in any nation.
For that reason, the head master wanted Rein and the other two ladies to accomplish something that could shut the mouth of any opposing parties. After the incident of killing a rank 2 strange beast, Rein had not managed to get any more change to be in the like light and was busy practicing his magic. So even though he was still extremely famous as an era defying genius, the general population did not have much idea about his current power level.
After listening to the head master's proposal Rein asked him for advice politely. Seeing this the head master was satisfied and told Rein that he had already thought of a plan. Then he took out a map and pointed toward a particular part.
Then he told Rein that the area he was pointing at was the domain of a small count. The count himself was a rank 3 powerhouse and had been ruling that area peacefully for more than a hundred years.
But suddenly a peak rank 3 strange beast had appeared in the area and had started to treat that place as his rampaging ground. The count had tried to stop it but he was powerless. The count's affinity was a metal and the strange beast could control hellfire that could melt that metal easily.
So not only was the count weaker than the strange beast, he was also at a disadvantage in terms of affinity. For that reason he had asked the academy for help in getting rid of this problem.
The academy was not there only to teach the future mages but it was also there to give various missions to aspiring independent mages. The royal family also helped out the local lords in time of crisis but asking for their help was not popular as the royal mages who came to complete the job asked for more money than the academy and were also more arrogant. So conversing with them was headache inducing.
For that reason, in a troublesome situation, most of the time, the local lords asked for the academy's help. This time the head master wanted Rein, Lopas and Luna to complete this mission in order to again spread their name throughout the whole kingdom.
After thinking about this for some time, Rein thanked the head master and decided to accept it. If his two lovers alone were taking this mission, then he would be super worried. Even though Lopas also had the strength of a peak rank 3 mage, against an opponent of the same power level, accidents could always happen.
But this time, Rein was going with them. And with his power level of rank 5 mage, there were not many things in this world that could threaten him. So he could use this opportunity to give both Lopas and Luna to experience a real battle. With that in mind, Rein accepted the proposal and decided to leave for the count's domain the very next day.
After the discussion with the head master was over, Rein told his two girls about the plan. They were immediately on board and even started treating this as a trip. Rein was fine with making it a trip and everything would be fine if his girls could become serious when they needed to.
After they left the academy in a hurry and went shopping. They were going to a distant territory and they were also not sure for how long. This definitely needed preparation.
Because of his void affinity, Rein was able to create a spatial storage where he always kept a certain amount of essential items. But as they were for emergencies, they did not put their hands on it and bought new supplies.
The whole preparation phase did not take long and they were done in less than three hours. The helpers who came from Lopas' family were extremely helpful and they were the reason why the preparation ended so swiftly.
...
The next day, Rein, Lopas and Luna left the capital very early in the morning. As for how they were planning to go to the count's territory, they were planning to fly there. There were magic empowered carriages that also went to the territory but if Rein and his group travelled using those, they would need almost three days to reach the destination.
On the flying speed of even a common mage was faster than a carriage. Not all Affinities could allow a mage to have the power of flight but fortunately all Rein, Lopas and Luna were able to fly with the help of their affinity. So even at the slowest speed, they would be able to complete the journey in one day.
That was why instead of taking a magic carriage, Rein and his group decided to go flying. As for why Rein was not using his teleportation ability, as the territory of the count was a place where he had never gone before, this was not an area which was under his teleportation spell.
Just like this, all three of the geniuses were going to a remote territory for a special mission.
