The Villain's Story

Chapter [324] A Sage, A Saint, And Another Saint.

”When are rationʼs coming?”

Arken asked Hiroto as they navigated through the collapsed city.

”They were supposed to come at the point…But not there. I havenʼt received any report.”

”Shit…”

Arken cursed. They were already extremely low on food and now they would starve to death before they died to monsters or demons.

”Sigh…”

Hiroto sat down on a piece of Debris and Arken stopped to rest too.

Hiroto kept checking his Tablet, waiting for any notifications.

”We might have to resort to eating monsters…”

”...”

His suggestion scared Arken, who looked around.

”You think thereʼs food here?”

He asked, surveying the city. Searching for any stores.

”Itʼs gonna be hard…the only thing we are gonna find are corpses and maybe maggots.”

Said Hiroto.

”Damn it!”

Arken stabbed his berserker sword into the ground and yelled.

”WHERE IS FOOOD!?”

His loud voice rang out throughout the city, the echoes reaching places far and unknown.

”YOU IDIOT KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!”

Hiroto yelled, He smacked Arkenʼs head and wrestled with him.

”Hey!”

”Fucker! You just exposed our location!ʼ

”We were already in the open!”

But he was losing. It was nearly impossible to win against Arken in wrestling or anything related to brute strength.

*BOOOM!*

”...”

”...”

Suddenly, a large explosion stopped their scuffle.

Both Arken and Hiroto looked in the direction of the sound and immediately left for it.

”Thereʼs an awakened fighting! The man is just ridiculous! Maybe itʼs an ally but approach carefully!ʼ

Advised Hiroto on the way, Arken remained quiet and sped up.

But…as Soon as they got there they were shocked to see that…there was nothing. No corpses, no buildings, not even any signs of battle at all…All that was there was a single young man. His long silver hair almost reached his waist and it was hard to believe he was a man with his beautiful face.

His golden eyes, similar to Arken scanned the entire area before landing on the duo.

”That your sister?”

Hiroto nudged Arken.

”No.”

He answered. Although Arken and the other individual did look similar, it was wrong to say that they were related.

Arken was a single orphan for as long as he remembered…wait could it be?

”Arken Miller and Hiroto Mitsuki, Am I correct?”

Suddenly, His voice rang out, It echoed throughout the area.

ʼHeʼs using mana to enhance it…ʼ

Arken and Hiroto had the same thought.

And, when they observed the area carefully…They concluded.

ʼMage.ʼ

An extremely rare type of awakened at this time. Someone who was coveted everywhere.

”Arken Miller and Hiroto Mitsuki, Am I correct?”

A dozen Mana arrows materialized behind him, he Commanded authority and respect.

He took out his badge and confirmed his identity, and Arken and Hiroto both looked at that badge with awe.

”...Highest rank.”

”Damn, who let the bigshot here?”

When the number of arrows increased, Arken and Hiroto both answered his question.

”Yes, Arken Miller, High-rank Awakened Candidate.”

”Yep, Hiroto Mitsuki, High ranked as well.”

They responded and showed their badges. Slowly, the Mana Arrows disappeared and the individual descended. And Stated his name.

”Oliver Olsfer, Mage, Pleasure to meet you.”

Hiroto, hearing his name asked.

”Wait your a man?”

ʼThis idiot…ʼ

Arken cursed his luck. Hiroto had to ask the most stupid question. Well, when you looked at the guy it wasnʼt wrong to think he was a woman with his looks.

He had a feminine face that people would want to protect, and a frail body as well. But it was to be expected, he was a mage.

”Yes, I am.”

Answered Oliver nonchalantly. It seemed like he was used to it.

”I am here as another team member, Please take care of me.”

He bowed down and showed etiquette. To Arken and Hiroto, it seemed odd. Well, it had to be expected. Both of them were hoodlums and didnt really know about proper manners and the like. Oliver seemed to have a different past from them.

”Who knew we would be getting a mage! Nice!”

Hiroto was ecstatic while Arken remained quiet. He carefully observed Oliver. This was a natural behavior from him. He never trusted others easily, and given the number of enemies he had, it was not odd for him to think that Oliver was maybe an assassin sent to kill him.

”What is our next mission?”

Asked Oliver. Hiroto took out his tablet and said.

”We have a few more monster hordes to eradicate, but we donʼt have any rations.”

”Rations?”

Oliver took out several rations from his spatial storage, and that was enough to win Hiroto, and even Arken over.

”Nice,” said Hiroto.

He even got a thumbs-up from Arken
