St Chaos Healer

Ch 33 - Shitty Luck

We were in a stalemate.

Everyone was frozen like statues not daring to move a muscle. Especially the lackeys along with Moses were sweating like crazy. Even James who has been arrogant all this time was now had a troubled expression.

As for me, I was a bit worried too.

I still haven't recovered but even if I was in my peak condition, I am not so sure that I could take on a mage by myself. There is a very slim chance that I could fight a mage and come alive that is also assuming after losing a limb or two.

I still haven't mastered the basics of the mana, so I don't think it would be any use in combat as it stands now.

In conclusion, it's better not to piss off this rail guard.

While everyone was in panic mode, the young rail guard just walked around us and sat at the railing with his arms folded. For some reason, he still had a bright friendly smile as he stared at us.

We all stayed like statues for the first few seconds.

But apparently, the first one to break the silence was James,

"I am James Malice, the young lord of the Malice household. Pardon my impudence but I would suggest that you won't intervene in this matter. I seek some answers from that arrogant brat who has cheated to pass the trial so that I can bring his crimes to light."

Said James as he pointed his finger at me.

Look at brat James, straight out spouting nonsense.

This dude just was eager to learn the trick to use mana, now straight out accusing me of cheating.

I quickly glanced at the rail guard to check his expression.

Only to see the rail guard was looking at me while staring with his cold eyes and a friendly smile. He only glanced at me for a second and turned back to James.

"Oh, if it isn't the young lord of house Malice! You needn't worry! I won't interrupt your little investigation. I was already getting bored standing guard so seeing some action would be a good change of scene, perhaps." replied the rail guard with a broad smile.

Meanwhile, James was a bit surprised,

"You... You heard about my household name before?" asked James.

"Of course, I do! And you don't have to worry about me trying to stop your little investigation. I will just be standing at the side as a mere spectator. Also, I will keep everything that happened here to myself." replied the rail guard.

Hearing this even the lackeys were more surprised.

"Of course, everyone has heard master's house name."

"I never doubted that. Haha.."

"Neither did I!"

"Hahaha..."

Meanwhile, James lifted his head with a satisfied smile,

"Of course, he does! My dad's the mayor of Cherie city."

"Wow! That big City?" asked one of the lackeys.

"That's great!" added another.

"I never heard about that city though." I chimed in.

Hearing that James gave me the eye,

"How could a lowly mutt that came out of the boonies know anything about this world. Just because you managed to pass the trial doesn't mean you can act as you please. It's just that I heard that you managed to use a bit of mana and that's the reason I thought I must speak with you. But instead of obliging, you are acting high and might as if you are doing a favor granting an audience with me. Who do you think you are, huh?"
