Chapter 119: Not Her!So there I was, spiraling down to Earth. Or rather, Ashtal as people here call it.

    "You got a way out of this one, Nakros?" [Solace]

    Nakros gave me a straight look.

    "...Sure, let me just use a spell." [Nakros]

    He then proceeded to do nothing.

    "Anytime would be good." [Solace]

    Nakros shrugged.

    "You''re right. There''s just one problem." [Nakros]

    "And that is?" [Solace]

    "I''m out of mana." [Nakros]

    "Oh." [Solace]

    That was probably one of the few moments I realized mana consumption was a thing.

    "Maybe you can do something?" [Nakros]

    "Uh... I don''t know if I have a skill for this." [Solace]

    "Might as well try." [Nakros]

    That was a very reasonable statement.

    Looking at my status, I really wasn''t sure of what I could use.

    ("If I use |Explosion Arts|, maybe I can counteract the momentum?") [Solace]

    I thought that was a good idea for a moment, but realized that there was a protective dome around us. It also made me wonder if the dome can protect us from the fall.

    ("...Nah, that won''t work. We''d turn into pancakes from the sheer force.") [Solace]

    I thought long and hard about how to get out of this situation. Luckily, I didn''t have to when I heard a familiar voice.

    "Calm down. You two will be fine." [Vincent]

    Master appeared beside us, somehow slowing our descent. His form was no longer that of a wooden puppet''s. However, he now had a missing leg and arm.

    "Master..." [Solace]

    There were many questions I wanted to ask. Why are you in the form of a puppet? Who was that god? Why was Jukhan after you? I just wasn''t sure of how to approach it. Especially that this wasn''t the best time to ask.

    "...You seem to have a lot to say." [Vincent]

    He wasn''t even looking at me. It was like Master could use telepathy.

    "Yeah... I do." [Solace]

    Master didn''t utter a word. Instead, he helped Nakros and I land safely before speaking.

    "Your curiosity is making you lose focus. What have you come here for? Why did you return to the academy?" [Vincent]

    It was always at these times that I felt Master would shift my attention to Fina. It was like speaking of anything relating to his personal life was forbidden.

    "I came back to tell you I finished the homework you gave me. I visited every mine, and even went to Medwin''s estate." [Solace]

    "What did you think about them?" [Vincent]

    "Terrible. The marriage must be stopped." [Solace]

    Vincent closed his eyes and faced upwards. I wasn''t sure if he was feeling disappointed or proud.

    "Then you know what you must do. From what I''ve been told, the marriage will be happening in three days." [Vincent]

    I raised a brow.

    "...How did you find that out?" [Solace]

    "Leyhna told me." [Vincent]

    "Huh?" [Solace] sea??h thё n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Now I was a bit confused. Though now that I think about it, it makes sense since she''s best friends with Fina.

    "Leyhna assisted me when I told her about Fina''s marriage. She will help you." [Vincent]

    I froze.

    "Wait. You''re the one who told Leyhna?!" [Solace]

    Just hearing that, I felt that everything was already going wrong.

    "Her intelligence may be... lacking. Regardless, her combat prowess will be helpful. Do take her with you." [Vincent]

    I let out a long sigh. I would refuse, but Master hasn''t been wrong yet.

    ("This is going to be like babysitting!") [Solace]

    "So? Where is she?" [Solace]

    "You will know. For now, return to Fina''s side." [Vincent]

    Those words were ominous as hell. I always hate it when Master pulls out some cryptic nonsense.

    "...Yes, Master." [Solace]
