" Hwaaah~ "

'Waking up at the sound of the alarm' I got up from the bed and got ready for the club's event.

" Oops I almost forgot"

Before leaving, I went to the living room, where the master resided.

' bowing in respect to my master ' I said 

" Good morning, master"

No matter how many times I look at master, I can't stop thinking about how wise and peaceful he is. One of the most impressive lessons I have learned from master was the quote ' why stress ? '

If you face a stressful event and you can deal with it then do so, and if you cannot deal with it, why would you bother stressing it out? Doesn't that only harm you more?

For today, around 9 AM we are supposed to be meeting at the front gate so we can go into a hunting trip by the hunting club.

However, now it's 6 AM and I still have three hours till the meeting. once I finish my morning workout routine, I will have to go to receive something I ordered scpecifically for this trip. In the novel, it was mentioned that the dungeon which was supposed to be a D ranked one, all of a sudden ranked up to C rank. Meaning that a terrifying B rank boss was inside the dungeon.

" Let's not waste anymore time and get going "

.....

2 and half hours later~

I just finished all my preparations for the trip. The reason why I need to go in this trip is not only because of the dungeon accident.

After all, I am not going out of my way just to babysit the main lead. If they die this time around, honestly it is on them and not me, but still... I will go just in case...

" It was near the Guild's residential area if I'm not mistaken...."

The place where the young dark magician was sealed. I brought some holy stuff with me to help in taking down the dark mage. I remember that after breaking the seal she became a terrifying SS rank monster. I don't know what happened to her, but she was only a soul of a child. 

" How did she cause all that ruckus? Wasn't she just a spirit? "

She is supposed to be a sealed spirit. How did she not only break the seal? But also manage to cause such destruction in the city by herself?

" I will check whether she is friendly or not first... and then I will decide what to do with her "

She appeared in the future as a mindless monster with crazy SS rank darkness magical attribute. The protagonist had to team up with two SS rankers to tackle her down so he can finish her off with his light-related attribute.

Enough with that.... now about the dungeon accident....

" Fortunately for me , it was a demon specialised in magical spells"

Demons were similar to humans on how they utilize their abilities. Some demons like Heylel, the demon of pride, have a terrifying strength that shakes whole planets, while other ones like 'lilith' only uses her charming spells and some lethal long ranged attacks.

Since I have the anti magic gauntlets, it would be a piece of cake for me to knock out the demon barrier inside the dungeon.

" However, I shouldn't intervene this time"

Just like what happened in the practical class, the protagonist received a mission with a useful reward. It was an amusing artifact.

" I will go just in case "

Luckily or not, I was near where the protagonist was in the practical dungeon. Although I almost died, at least non of the main characters died or sustained any crippling injuries.

" I hope that he will be okay "

Prior to returning to the academy, I sent Heldon somewhere to confirm something I was curious about. going there would alone for me would be nothing short of suicide.

When Bahl returned to the demon realm, he didn't leave without leaving anything behind. If I remember correctly, the novel briefly mentioned the fact that he returned through a hidden gate.

Transportation in space is very difficult even for the demons.

Unlike the demon lord who doesn't need oxygen. Demons just like other organisms they are in need for oxygen. Of course their biological system is different, but there are some similarities between them. Like the existence of the mitochondria to perform oxidative phosphorylation. 

That's why they need some sort of a transportation method through space. Also, It's almost impossible to obtain the spacecrafts of the dwarves as they require access to the main system protected by the AI race living with the dwarves. However, there are other means like teleportation and summoning rituals similar to the mythical grade artifact that was with the retribution order.

" Hopefully nothing happens t-

" Yoo!! Over here Arthur!!"

".....Sighe"

It is like 9 in the morning and this guy is as energetic as ever.

" Good morning, John"

" Good morning to you too bro. Check this out "

' Taking out a shield hanging on his back ' John said

" I got a new shield! "

Hoo? Is that an Epic grade? Quite impressive for a student.

" That's great dude... congrats "

' Widenening his grin into a clown smile' John replied 

" Hahaha! Now even that SS ranker can't take me! Mwahahah"

"..."

He was an A ranker... also he wiped the floor with your face...anyway... I probably shouldn't ruin the start of the journey for him 

" Y-you are amazing John! I am lucky to be your friend dude! "

" HAHAHAHA-

" -you two! Shut it! "

 Isn't that the leader of the hunting club? Crap... let's not get into his bad side...

" Huh?! Who-"

" -Sorry sir! "

' staring at us like we are some munchkins ' the club leader Adrian finally just ignored us and continued on with the meeting.

" Sighe.... anyway, good morning and welcome everyone. I am the club leader and my name is Adrian. Please refrain from unnecessary comments and only speak when allowed.... I know that this seems like a stretch, but we are going to enter a real dungeon under the supervision of the ' Twilight ' guild. The academy and the guild have well prepared for this trip and the least we can do as students is to give them respect by paying attention and not play around "

..... he is talking about us.....

" Ahem... now that we have sorted that, please everyone line up and enter the bus after confirming your attendance "
