Chapter 425 – Tikia’S School Days
“What?!”
“I’ll go check it out first!”
As soon as I opened the door, I immediately deployed my Zone and scanned the surroundings.
Smoke was billowing from the adjacent building, and a large hole had been blasted through it.
“Rent!”
Tikia followed me out of the chairman’s office.
“What happened?”
“It seems like there was some kind of accident in the building next door.”
“That place… this is a bit troublesome.”
“Why?”
“That’s where they combine alchemy and magic to research monsters and creatures. If there’s a hole that big… could a monster they were researching have escaped?”
“That’s a big problem.”
Even though they’re students of the magic academy, if a monster suddenly appears, they might be too shocked to use magic and could get hurt.
“I’ll go check it out.”
Just as I was about to fly, Tikia quickly jumped and clung to my back.
“I’m coming too!”
“But…”
“If it’s dangerous, Rent can protect me! Let’s go quickly!”
If Tikia trusts me that much, then I’ll just have to live up to that trust.
“Yes!”
I used telekinesis to fly into the sky and headed straight for the adjacent building.
“He flew in the sky…!?”
I heard the chairman’s very surprised voice from behind, but right now, assessing the situation and resolving it is the priority.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“What is that!”
“It came out of the lab! It’s a monster!”
“Someone do something about it!”
“Kyaaak! Honeyyy!!!”
Kroaaaaaaang!!!
A monster roared in the academy’s garden, and several students were running around in a panic.
The monster had a lion’s head and torso, long goat horns, large white wings, and a snake for a tail.
“That’s…”
“Uwaaaah! A chimera escaped! Someone catch it for meeeeee!”
Just then, a man’s shout came from the building with the hole.
So, that monster is a chimera after all.
Krrrrrrrr!
The chimera was making a very ferocious sound as it stared at the fleeing students.
And then.
Kroaaaaaaaat!
It leaped forward in an instant, lunging towards one of the students.
“Uwaaaaaah!”
“Nooo!!”
“Honeyyy!!”
Just before the student was attacked.
“Haaap!”
I reached out and used telekinesis to freeze the chimera in mid-air as it was leaping.
“Whew, that was close.”
Krrr… Krrr… Kro…!!
The chimera struggled desperately to move its body, but it couldn’t budge against my telekinetic restraint.
“Uh, uh…?”
The student who had been about to be attacked just a moment ago was blinking at the chimera.
I landed on the ground with Tikia.
“Who is that person? They came down from the sky with a, a kid on their back.”
“I’ve never even heard of magic that lets you fly in the sky?”
“Did that person stop that monster too?”
The surrounding students were surprised, but there was no need to respond to each of their reactions.
I shouted towards the upper floor where the smoke was coming from.
“Come get your chimera!”
◈
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Three mages came down from the building with the hole, and one of them, who seemed to be a teacher, bowed to me repeatedly in gratitude.
I guess he’s the one who created this chimera?
“Are you the one who created this chimera?”
“Yes, to be precise, I was creating it with my assistants for research purposes.”
“Why did this chimera get out?”
“…It’s embarrassing, but the chimera’s strength was greater than we expected… it broke through the barrier and escaped. If we hadn’t been careful, other students could have been hurt. Thank you so much.”
“It’s a relief that no one was injured. Where should we move this chimera to?”
“Ah, the chimera should be taken back up…”
“Huh?”
While I was talking to the professor mage, Tikia tilted her head and stared at a pair of male and female mages standing behind him.
I also glanced at them for a moment, and something seemed strange… both of them were sweating profusely.
Could it be…?
“Hey, you two over there. Are you Tapen and Jane?”
“H-how do you know our names… huh?”
“U-uh? Could it be… T-Tiki…”
“Huh?”
“T-Tikia? W-wow! It’s been a while! It’s been since graduation, right?”
“Really? Ah, it’s Tikia! H-hahaha! You haven’t changed at all since then! Well, maybe your clothes fit you a bit better now?”
“…Well, enough with the greetings. How did you two, who had such terrible grades, manage to become assistants?”
“W-we’ve studied a lot since that day…”
“Y-yeah! We’re not the same as we were back then.”
“Hee~e?”
Tikia looked back and forth between the chimera and the two of them, then said.
“Could it be that the chimera escaped because of you two?”
“What!?”
“W-what are you talking about! T-that’s impossible, right?”
“Wait, what do you mean by that?”
The professor mage looked at Tikia and asked.
“Hmm? Ah, you’re Tikia. I can’t believe that you, who was known as the greatest genius of our academy, are here.”
“…”
The professor’s praise made Tikia try not to show it, but I could see the corners of her mouth twitching upwards.
“But what did you mean just now? That these two are the reason the chimera escaped…”
“Well, if you investigate properly, you’ll find out soon enough… Rent, please keep it restrained properly.”
“You can count on me, Tikia.”
Tikia approached the chimera and took out her staff, pointing it at the chimera’s arm and eyes.
“The professor must have been too distracted by the commotion to notice… here and here.”
Tikia pointed to the chimera’s shoulder and eyes.
“These bulging veins and the unnaturally bloodshot eyes… this is a reaction that happens when you inject stimulants.”
“What?”
“”Ugh!?””
The professor mage approached the chimera and examined its condition.
“Indeed, this reaction is… Tapen! Jane! What is the meaning of this! You were supposed to be in charge of administering the tranquilizers!”
“Uwaaaah, s-sorry! W-we accidentally injected stimulants instead of sedatives…”
“…So that’s why the chimera was rampaging so much that it broke through the barrier. Tapen! Jane! You’re both getting a three-month pay cut! And I’ll decide on additional punishment later!”
“Ugh…”
“Yes…”
The two men and women simultaneously slumped their shoulders.
Tikia had a very smug look on her face as she watched them.
I guess she must have been harassed by those two quite a bit during her school days?
“Hah! Hah! There you are!”
Just then, the chairman came panting towards us from behind.
Was he worried about the incident and rushed over?
“Ah, Chairman. The incident is over, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Hah, hah… I-is that so? That’s a relief! More importantly! R-Rent! What was that flying technique you used just now! What is it…!!”
“Ah, that’s…”
“No, wait a moment. Let’s talk about this… in my office. Is that alright?”
“Wait, our business is already over. There’s no reason for us to stay any longer…”
“That’s right! Compensation! You have to give us compensation!”
“The compensation is from the Adventurer’s Guild…”
“It’s not compensation for the request. It’s compensation for your help in resolving this incident! Now, come on!”
The chairman’s attitude was very desperate.
Hmm…
“Shall we go to the chairman’s office for now?”
“Haa… well, if Rent wants to.”
◈
“Here, this is your compensation.”
As soon as we returned to the chairman’s office, the chairman handed me the compensation for resolving the incident.
“Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, my precious students could have been seriously injured.”
“It’s a relief that no one was hurt.”
“Yes, it’s a real relief. But… there’s one thing I’d like to ask you. That…”
Thump!
The chairman slammed his hand on the desk and asked me with wide eyes.
“What was that flying technique you used! Is it magic! Or is it your unique ability? If possible, please tell me!”
Ah, that’s the expression Tikia makes when she’s developing a new magic.
It’s the face of a mage who never loses interest in magic.
“Of course, I know that adventurers can’t just reveal their skills or abilities. But… but I can’t stop being curious about your technique! I’ll pay you any amount! Please! Please tell me!”
I don’t really mind telling him.
Judging from Tikia’s reaction, she said that the way I use my skills is only possible because of my absurd magic power and magic manipulation…
But if I tell him too easily, Tikia might dislike it because it would be an act of contributing to the magic academy, which has bad memories for her.
“Tikia, what should I do?”
At my words, the chairman immediately looked at Tikia and said.
“I apologize countless times for my neglectful treatment of you when you were a student! If you want, I’ll fire all those who bothered you during your time here…”
“No, there’s no need for that. Haa, Rent. I think it’s okay if you want to tell him. You don’t have to worry about my feelings. Either way, no one will ever be able to use it the way Rent does.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. It’s more troublesome to fire other people just to find out the method, and then have more trouble because of it.”
“Aaaah! Thank you! Tikia!”
If Tikia says so…
I explained my telekinesis to the chairman.
After hearing the explanation, the chairman’s lips twitched.
“Ah, what an absurd application of magic! But! But if we only consider the theory, it’s definitely possible! Even without using wind spells…
That’s it! Magic manipulation! By focusing on moving the magic itself, there are countless possibilities! Hahaha! To think I’ve overlooked this possibility until now! My mind has become too rigid! Thank you! Thanks to you, I’ve grasped a clue towards a new path!”
“Ah… I, I’m glad. Then we’ll be going now.”
“Yes! Farewell! Wait, do you have any other mysterious skills?”
“That’s…”
While I was hesitating to speak, Tikia opened her mouth.
“The explanation for the skill you wanted is over, so asking any more is rude.”
At Tikia’s words, the chairman’s excitement subsided for a moment and he said.
“That’s right. I’m sorry about that. Thank you, you may go now. Aaaah! I’m so happy! I’m so happy! I have new materials for developing new formulas for magic tools! Ahahahahaha!!!”
Leaving the very excited chairman behind, we left the chairman’s office.
And after we got out of the magic academy, I said to Tikia.
“The chairman… he was very excited.”
“He’s originally someone who was so engrossed in magic research that he neglected the school. If you had mentioned your other skills, he would have never let us go until he had asked about everything.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. I’m used to it now, so I just think ‘oh, okay’ when I see Rent’s skills and research them… but in the chairman’s case, he would have gone completely crazy.”
“So, Tikia developing levitation magic with my telekinesis…”
“I’m never going to tell him. If I do, it’s obvious that it’ll become incredibly troublesome.”
Certainly, judging from his reaction, if he knew that Tikia had developed new magic, he would ask to see it or ask a lot of questions about the formula.
“Well, let’s go see Master quickly.”
“Yes, Tikia.”
◈
We stopped by Chamber’s house, but unfortunately, Chamber wasn’t home.
“It’s obvious he went to the Wolf Fang Race Track, sigh. Rent, let’s just leave the food and go.”
“Is it okay if we don’t meet him?”
“It’s fine, we can come to the magic city anytime we want.”
“Okay.”
I took out the Crimson Minotaur meat dish and the female Orc Champion steak and placed them on the table.
Then, Tikia covered them with a large bowl.
“Well, this should keep it from going bad until Master comes back. Then…”
Tikia grabbed my hand and lifted it slightly.
“Chuuup♡ Chulup♡ Chooop♡ Chooop♡”
She sucked on my thumb and said.
“Shall we go to the night streets…♡”
“…Tikia, where did you learn that kind of seduction technique?”
“Ninya.”
“I knew it…”
“But it seems to be very effective, right?”
Tikia grinned and looked at my lower body.
Of course, my lower body was throbbing from Tikia’s thumb fellatio!
“Next time… I want to suck on something bigger than your thumb, Rent♡”
“I’ll let you suck on it as soon as possible!”
And then, I picked up Tikia and immediately ran towards the night streets.
To let our magic slut Tikia suck on my dick stick!
