Humanity Return

Ch. 129 – Report and Request

“This... here..”.

Leinn put back the thing he had just caught, where it was supposed to be stuck.

Thud

“Huh”

And it just fell, rolling on the floor of that Mission Center.

“...!”

Isla and the other receptionist girl beside him opened their eyes wide when they saw a body that was at least two meters high and four meters long, the body of a giant Hyena Beast, and the body of a giant Hyena Beast, whose head just stopped at Aura's feet.

The girl immediately lowered her head and picked it up from the floor.

“Huh... The prairie-dwelling Hyena Beast, of its size and type seemed like he had already reached early Rank B. oh! His fangs had already undergone a change and contained the sharp nature of the wind element, meaning he at least possessed the strength of a medium Rank B.

The sight of a girl who was researching a head that looked still very alive made most of the other disciples who saw it start to creep, which was very creepy, and the excited smile on his face also did not help change the strangeness of the scene.

“Yes, he's the leader of the group that made the Beast Nest in that forest”

“Oh..”

Adeline looked at Leinn and Aura's exchange for a moment before beginning to examine the large Beast's body in front of her as well. The biggest wound that took his life was clearly his neck being cut off by something extremely sharp, but it seemed like he was receiving a lightning element attack at the same time.

The sight of the other two youths giving off lightning element attacks, injuring and stopping the movement of the huge Beast and instantly followed with one precise strike, depriving his life in an instant appeared in his mind.

Isla had also walked from the side of her desk near the body and started checking her condition.

“In addition to its charred fur, it looks like its flesh and internal organs are still unharmed... Even the wound on his neck was already fully burnt, stopping his bleeding as a whole”

One of the strangest things Isla managed to discover when she touched the Beast's body with her palm.

“...warm?”

The Beast's body in front of him was extremely warm, like it had just died for a few minutes. It seems like this was caused by one of the properties that people were talking about from the Dimensional Ring, the cessation of time in that storage room.

“...Lein! Looks like the problem in the village is still not finished!”

The attention of almost everyone in this room ended up being fixed on the pink haired girl who showed a panicked expression while holding a large head with both hands.

Aura already felt that something was strange while she was twisting the information she had received earlier, then clearly saw the Beast in front of her. The Hyena Beast was supposed to be a group of Beasts living in the grasslands, with a location that was usually very close to the territory of the other Beast groups living there.

Conflict is common for groups who live by stealing other Beast's group's game, and groups like this are seen being forced to leave and live in the forest.

“...There is something that has great power managed to force them to do that!”

Leinn only heard that with her eyes wide open, with Roland standing beside her also showing a surprised expression.

Isla who was beside them also grew even paler when she heard that explanation, which was very likely to happen. He started walking and grabbed Blue Linker behind a long table and looked like he wanted to contact someone, before Leinn reached out her hand to stop him.

“Yes, there is no need for you to think about that problem..”.

“T-but Leinn! This will be an advanced problem...!”

Isla noticed an awkward smile on Leinn's face, which did not look worried at all.

And it turned out that the reason for the calmness was finally coming out as well.

“Twig has solved the problem”

Leinn began to continue his story from the part they both found and repelled the remains of the Hyena, then found the radiance of power from the creature was quite strong. After following the direction of the arrival until they came out of the forest, they found a huge Beast that was standing alone in the middle of the vast prairie.

Before the two of them could do anything, Twig immediately slid forward and started fighting with the Beast. After 30 minutes of intense fighting, finally...

Then they finally got the reason for the snake's invisibility, or another transparent blob. It turned out that Twig had still not finished digesting the Beast he had swallowed the previous afternoon, making him unable to shrink his body.

Eventually he was forced to wait on one side of the academy due to the destruction it would cause if he moved freely in his original size. Clear chose to accompany her and the two of them parted ways with Leinn and Roland who went to the Mission Center to report the completion of their mission.

“Um..”

Aura and Adeline felt a little strange, as they realized themselves very coincidentally meeting them like this.

If they walked faster and up to 10 minutes early, they would arrive first and be startled by their arrival.

If they waited 10 minutes and tried to contact the two young men again, their calls would eventually come in.

“So here we are!”

Leinn showed his smile as he spread out his hands, finishing his story. The first to comment turned out not to be the two girls who were looking at him strangely.

“Um... what about the other Hyena Beast corpses..?”.

Isla recalled in the part of the story where Leinn and Roland had managed to hunt down about 20 other Hyena Beasts, with dozens of others returning to the meadow after Twig had swallowed the powerful Beasts. But he did not hear what happened with the corpse of that 20 Rank C Hyena Beast.

“Oh, the villagers took it”

“E-eh... k-why?”

“He gave it to them”

The answer to the question came from Roland who only showed a flat expression, looking at the reaction of the receptionist girl in front of him.

Leinn himself looked unconcerned and grabbed into his pants pocket, pulling out three gold coins.

“Yes done, I finally have money again after so long! Let's find some good food, I'll buy!”

The first to reply was the blond-haired youth standing in front of him, who instantly shook his head.

“I'll accompany Twig this afternoon, no more time to take care of you”

“Hah! I'm not going to eat the food paid for by you!”

“Um, I have an affair with.. teacher of magic theory..?”

The two answers that followed him were also unforgiving, rejecting his invitation just like that.

Leinn looked a little beaten up for a while, before looking like he realized something. He immediately turned his head to the side, towards the girl who had just returned behind the reception desk and was seen contacting someone to move the Beast's body in front of him.

“How about you, Isla? Want to find food with me?”

“Pfft...?!”

Isla did not expect to accept the sudden invitation and became misbehaved, she broke off the call at Linker Birunya.

“A-what... a-I don't b-can...? I need to be here!”

“Oh..

Leinn looked very disappointed and began to walk away from the building, passing Roland who had a flat expression, Adeline who looked very surprised, and Aura who looked shocked.

Isla also tried to hide her already heated face, and regretted her panicked answer a little.
