The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 21: Young Master+Caena Illustration

“Master it...”Poppy stopped before mentioning his sentence because they had arrived.

“This, I guess this place will be more magnificent than I imagined.” Say Caena, look at Duke Bloome's mansion.

Verite felt the same way, this place could not be said to be small but also could not be called a suitable place for as a residence for a Duke.

The Duke Bloome Mansion looks like a four-story building and is perfectly square without a roof at all, it is disguised with other smaller buildings.

‘This place reminds me of an office.’ Mefras said, he also thought Duke Bloome's mansion would look like a magnificent palace that had a garden the size of a football field but all he could was a professional-looking office room, one that looked professional, “I think it fits with his serious character.

“Not like you guys thought ya?” Poppy asked, she seemed to have thought of this reaction.

“Yes, I rather thought of a palace with a field-wide garden when I heard mansion.” Verite said truthfully Caena also nodded.

“Yes, Duke Caena has a mansion like that as well but he doesn't stay there and only uses it to welcome guests from outside only, he said living there was much more troublesome than staying here.” Poppy explained.

‘The rich man..’ Mefras said, somehow Verite can feel frustration from the sentence.

“Oh yes, Poppy, about Duke Bloome's previous student what do you want to say?” Verite asked, he did not forget the reason for coming here.

“Ah Master Regulus, she is somewhat-”

*boom!*

Once again Poppy was cut off, this time by the sound of an explosion coming from the Duke Bloome mansion, Verite could see a hole in the wall of the mansion that had not been there before.

Smoke came out of the hole in the wall and starting to worry, he turned to Poppy and asked.

“That's the thing I want to say.” Said Poppy, she didn't seem to be surprised or scared at all, as if this was a daily activity in Duke Bloome's mansion.

“This is a common thing?” Caena asked what Verite was thinking.

“Yes, Master Regulus often does his rough experiments, such explosions often occur and sometimes we are attacked by the constructs he makes.” Say Poppy.

“Attacked by construct?” Verite asked, Self-moving construct is a step, Verite can ‘achieve’ not because of her ability but because she put Mefras consciousness into it.

“Do you have Thaumaturgy Poppy ability?” Caena asked.

“I have enough knowledge to do my job as an assistant but I cannot do practical things like Verite.” does Poppy explained before shaking her head and trying to enter through the main entrance of the building.

“Are you sure it's safe?” Verite asked, hearing his story of the rampaging constructs before he felt he could not bear to let Poppy be alone.

“We've been talking for a while, I think the workers inside have handled it.” Said Poppy, not long after she said it was something jumping out of a hole in the wall of the mansion.

Something was landing in front of Verite and he could hear the screams of “Quick! catch her! Hurry along! before he ran to town!”

Verite watched ‘hal’ fall in front of him, quickly knowing the item was a fairly large-sized construct, probably taller than Jardi's pack.

One eye watching Verite as if to watch over a threat, his thin body twitching in a wrong way made Verite feel uncomfortable.

“Hey you! Don'tdon't move! Don't do anything!” Verite heard a screaming sound from the hole where this construct came out.

Caena and Poppy did not move, it seemed like they realized that these creatures would jump if they moved their fingers as much.

Verite could not stand still, he began to flow mana throughout his body ready to save Caena or Poppy if this creature decided to pounce on them.

As if sensing the movement of the Verite the construct jumped at him preparing to pounce and crash into him.

Verite dodged the slash of the construct's hand, the hand made of wood would not be fatal if it hit Verite but it would still be extremely painful.

Verite still dodged the attack of this construct attack that was not slow in the least, he thought the owner of this construct would decide which supply drove this construct but it did not seem like it would happen.

Verite began to flow the mana he had into his hands, a fire tail began to emerge from his hands, watching the construct already in mid-air, ready to pounce on Verite.

Verite threw out his fist, his fiery fist met the one-eyed face of the construct and Boom! verite's fist explosion sent itself and the construct hovering in midair,

Verite landed on his feet, watching the fallen construct.

‘Is it finished?’ Thought Verite, looking at the construct lying on the ground.

‘But!’ Answer Mefras.

as he said the construct began to stand with a creaking sound Verite could see the Mana strand from the part that Verite struck.

‘Ready!” Mefras warned as the Construct began to leap, the back of it opened, giving off such a huge Mana current.

Verite began to feel the danger that this construct was putting out, an ordinary human would not be able to resist this construct, he might have to use all his strength and destroy it.

Verite began to flow mana back into his body, this was the first fight Verite had experienced, he hoped that he would not mess it up.

The construct once again tried to pounce on Verite, his hand turning into a sharp tool that would cut through Verite.

Verite prepared to destroy the construct, his fists burning with a blue flame, once again Verite swung his fists.

*boom!*

The sound of an explosion rang out once more, but this explosion did not come from the Verite fire fist, the explosion came from a gigantic spear that fell right above the rampaging construct.

Penetrated behind his shoulders and the hard stone floor beneath him.

Even more shocking on top of the giant spear was a human, the man who did not seem much older than Verite was riding himself with his spear grip.

He lowered his legs until he touched the ground, the golden hair tied in the ponytail style billowing in the air, his golden eyes staring at Verite.

“Sorry,” He told Verite, “I didn't think anyone was a Thaumaturgist walking in this region.”

‘Hahaha, this guy rivals characters 101.’ Mefras laughed at Verite's head.

Verite's lip tip rose to the top when he heard Mefras talk, he quite showed Verite a lot of stories and movies he could be someone who looks like a character rival. 

“Verite! You okay?” Caena ran over, looking very worried about Verite.

While Poppy ran to ‘people who look like rival’ it and said

 “Master Regulus!”
