The Scarlet Bunny

0012

Thud!

The scarlet light flew towards Dylan and cracked his Mana Barrier.

However, it did not remain there.

Instead, he eyed Rainier, the one who sent him flying with an Energy Bomb.

Nevertheless, this made Chris heave a sigh of relief.

"Basic Slash!"

Sheng!

Seeing the scarlet bunny fly towards Rainier, he did not hesitate to brandish the long prepared longsword in an attempt to slash it.

For the second time, the scarlet bunny was sent flying.

Fuck, why am I the only target of the bunny?

Whoosh!

The bunny dashed towards him again.

Fuck you, bunny! Am I an easy target for you?

"Energy Bomb!"

"Energy Bomb!"

"Energy Bomb!"

"Energy Bomb!"

"Energy Bomb!"

"Energy Bomb!"

Rainier is not sure how many Energy Bombs did he shoot. He only stopped when his mana was close to depletion.

"Is it dead?" Rainier asked.

However, no one answered.

They were stunned. Not by the bunny, but by Rainier's consecutive shots of Energy Bomb.

"What a freak!"

The two adults thought to themselves.

Not only the two adults, the two kids, Hailey and Dylan, as well, especially Dylan. He was at a loss when he saw Rainier's consecutive shoots.

"Geez! It's still alive!"

Rainier gritted his teeth when he was the bunny rose from the ashes (not literally) and sprinted towards Rainier again.

Rainier could barely see damage in the body of the bunny.

"Basic Slash!"

Shoooo!

However, Rainier did not hit the bunny.

"What?"

He looked around only to understand that he was not the target's bunny, at the moment.

It dashed straight to Rainier. Then, when Rainier brandished his sword, the bunny agilely changed its target.

It went to the one whom it thought to be easy prey, the one who did not have the protection of the Mana Barrier from the adults.

"Shit! Young master. Energy Bomb!"

Chris paled when he saw the bunny sprinting toward Dylan. He wanted to cast a powerful spell. However, he did not have enough time.

At the end, when his Energy Bomb hit the bunny, he realized that Rainier's Energy Bomb is far superior to his.

The bunny was sent backward a few steps. However, there's not much damage.

"Basic Slash!"

At this moment, Rainier appeared not too far away from Dylan and slashed the bunny.

At the same time, Hailey also did not stay idle. She also slashed her sword after Rainier.

"O great and mighty flame, manifest and pierce the one we will."

"Fire Arrow!"

The two fire mages took this opportunity to collectively cast a spell and formed one big fire arrow.

There is only one Fire Arrow. However, it was bigger and its flames are fiercer.

"Fire!"

Whoosh!

Puchi!

The big Fire Arrow hit the bunny and killed it.

"It has the strength of a beast below the first grade, but it has a vitality akin to a fourth-grade beast."

Everyone's expression is grave.

That only meant that the bunny is not a normal bunny. Well, that's obvious from the very start.

"Uncle Dexter, should we go home, then?" Hailey asked.

She knew that it would be dangerous if they continue to say here, especially since the fire mages are babysitting them.

"Let's go, then. Young master Dylan are you going home?" uncle Dexter asked the noble boy, Dylan.

"Young master, we should go," Chris also urged him.

"Then, let's go them.'

With that, they started moving. However, before they could get away, a woman appeared in their field of view.

The woman has an aura that pressured the two fire mages.

"Rainier are you still not going home?" the woman asked.

"Aunt Vivian, since you're here, can I stay here for a bit?"

Indeed, the lady is none other than aunt Vivian.

All this time, she is secretly watching over Rainier.

She knows that he cannot stop Rainier from coming to the forest, at the same time, she also did not want to accompany him. She is very powerful. Hence, she fears that Rainier will become dependent on her.

"It's dangerous here. What would your grandfather say if you got injured?"

"Aunt Vivian, you already allowed me to roam in the forest alone. Why do you still fear that gramps will get angry if I got injured?"

"Er… I was watching you in the shadows."

"I know."

"Eh? You know?"

"Hahaha, you're my nanny after all."

Aunt Vivian was flustered. She forgot about that point.

Meanwhile, Chris and Dexter when they heard that aunt Vivian, a powerful woman, is Rainier's nanny.

"Just who is this kid? Why does he have a powerful nanny?"

However, they are not the only ones that were stunned, the Hailey and Dylan are also stunned.

Although they are not sure how powerful aunt Vivian is, they could tell that their guardians are rather pressured.

"Let's go, Rainier."

"Aunt Vivian, let me take my spoils."

Rainier walked towards the corpse of the bunny.

"Don't bother, there's nothing valuable there."

"Eh? Why?"

"Just believe me, okay?"

"Okay, you said it."

With that, he did not have a choice but to stop. Since aunt Vivian said it, Rainier did not doubt it.

"Aunt Vivian, do you have a mana crystal? My mana is depleted."

"Whew, I guess, I should just give you your supply of mana for a whole year."

Yet again, the four were stunned.

Dylan and Hailey from a noble family did not even get mana crystals, yet a 'commoner' like Rainier had an allowance?

Now that they thought of it, it seemed that they are the commoners.

"Um… ma'am, can we come too?" Dexter asked.

When aunt Vivian heard it, she looked toward them before looking at Rainier.

"Aunt Vivian, can we let them come? Uncle Dexter took care of me on my first trip to this forest."

"I know. Anyway, as long as you say so, they can follow us."

"Ok then, uncle Dexter, you heard aunt Vivian."

"Uncle, are not going home, yet?" Hailey asked.

"We'll stay here for a while. We'll go back then things went south."

However, when aunt Vivian heard it, she sneered.

"Hmm, if that happens, then you'll definitely die."

"Ahem…"

Dexter cleared his throat embarrassingly.

"Hahaha… how shameless of you, Dexter. My lady, do we have the pleasure to know your name?"

Chris is even more shameless than Dexter.

"My name? I'm sorry, I am nameless," aunt Vivian replied with a smile before turning to Rainier. "Take this."

Aunt Vivian gave Rainier five mana crystals.

"I will give you the rest after we got back home."

"Thank you, aunt Vivian."

After saying his thanks, Rainier began absorbing the mana from the mana stone.

"Kid, that's a lot of mana crystals, you should reserve one for me."

Huh? This earthworm.

…

A few hours later, they started their travel.

Aunt Vivian did not lead the rest deeper. However, if aunt Vivian is not around, they would have encountered lots of dangers.

Although most of the time, it was Rainier, Hailey, and Dylan who were fighting, the adults will take it from them if they encountered a rather powerful beast.

Then, finally, with aunt Vivian's lead, they did not encounter many powerful beasts.

At the same time, if they could encounter beasts like the scarlet bunny like before, aunt Vivian would immediately take them down.

"Energy Bomb!"

At the moment, Rainier and the other two are fighting a grade-one beast the fanged boa.

Rainier is taking the role of an attack while Hailey and Dylan support him.

Occasionally, Rainier would also fire Energy Bomb at the beast.

"Basic Slash!"

"Basic Thrust!"

"Basic Evasion!"

Rainier unleashed his skills one after the other.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

It was also the same for Hailey and Dylan. However, there is a wide gap between them Rainier.

Well, after all, Rainier is a genius.

"Energy Bomb!"

With that, Rainier delivered his final strike.

"Rainier, you have big improvements," Hailey commented while catching her breath.

At the same time, Dylan also looked at Rainier, but he did not say anything.

However, there is admiration in his eyes. At the same time, there is also hatred knowing that Rainier is a big hurdle toward Hailey's heart.

"This is not much."

Rainier scratched his head.

"It's getting dark, are you still not going back?"

Aunt Vivian interjected while looking at Dexter and Chris.

"Well, I think it's about time. Lady Hailey, let's go home."

" 'Kay!"

"We'll also get going. I hope we'll meet again. Young master Dylan."

"Um... Rainier, see you at the pathfinder ceremony!"

Although Dylan considered Rainier a rival, he is not petty enough to hate him to the bone.

Furthermore, he could see that Rainier did not seem to be interested in Hailey.

Meanwhile, Rainier only looked at them but he did not say a thing.

Well, he could not say that he was already done with the pathfinder ceremony, right?

"Aunt Vivian, are we still not going back?"

Rainier looked at his aunt Vivian.

"Not yet, I found something good not too far from us."

"Eh? I wonder what could catch aunt Vivian's attention?"

"Hahaha! That's a secret?"

"Secret my ass, I know it when you bring me there."

"Indeed."
