MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 107: Zara

Everyone looked at Anthony in shock, and fear.

Their eyes almost coming off their sockets.

Although they were numerous spells and techniques that were obviously overpowered, they have never seen or heard anything like this before in their entire lives.

(Why would they hear it?, if someone had this move, then it would be saved as a trump card)

Everyone instantly raised their guard up to the maximum.

Although they were talking and laughing in the restaurant earlier and also talked while they stretched their legs during the thirty minutes break, at the end of the day, everyone was a stranger and they were just here to complete a mission and everything is done.

There was no trust or anything of that sort here, even Amos, Chika, and Zayne wonʼt dare to say that they trust one another hundred percent as a treasure or money could just make one of them make a move against the other.

Even Meek adjusted and moved closer to his own personal body guard.

At the end of the day, Anthony was just a hired personnel.

He never trusted him at all.

Even if he was from the Academy, there was no guarantee he wonʼt kill everyone here and take their treasures.

(Many people have done this already)

But as they all stood and stared at him with a wary gaze, a thought lingererd in their minds.

ʼIf he cast such spell again, can we defend?ʼ

This is indeed a good question.

This wasnʼt like elemental magic which people could see the attack, then defend, dodge or counter attack immediately, unless you have a soul skill, technique, or ability.

Even though Anthony always released his F rank aura, none of them were foolish enough to believe that as even they themselves sometimes donʼt even release any aura at all.

They werenʼt some brainless young masters.

”No need to be so afraid, we are comrades in arms, if nobody makes a move against me, I wonʼt make a move against them, besides even if I made a move first, Iʼm sure the Academy would hunt me to death”

Anthony said with a smile as he spoke.

”I thought you were a swordsman due to the katana hanging on your waist, who would have thought you also practice magic”

Amos replied as he walked towards Anthony.

”Well letʼs just say Iʼm among the arrogant ones that refuse to stick to their class but multi-cultivate”

Anthony replied plainly as he floated down.

”Hooooo...I see, I wish you luck on your path then Anthony”

Amos replied not believing what Anthony said about being arrogant and walking a double path.

Would an arrogant person so easily admit they were arrogant? Of course not.

”We should round up the corpse and be on the move immediately before their blood attract more monsters”

Meekʼs voice sounded as he looked at the large amount of corpse scattered around.

Everyone nodded and decided to get on the move.

Everyone took the corpse of the monsters they killed and nothing more.

They were all entitled to the spoils of whatever they handled on their journey.

As everything was taken, they immediately took to the skies and flew with fast speed as they wanted to cover up the ground faster this time.

After flying for about an hour, they all settled down and immediately camped.

Nobody was stupid enough to set fire here, so everyone just resided in their own tent and counted their spoils of the battle.

Meek ordered his personal bodyguard to be on the look out...well there was no need for a look out since none of them were actually going to sleep.

Zara went closer to Anthony and said with a smile and her charm.

”So..are you as talented with the sword as you are with magic”

Anthony looked at her with a gentle expression and said

”I wonʼt say Iʼm talented, Iʼm just doing my part in this journey”

Zara was extremely beautiful and could rival even other bloodline races despite being human.

Her wood magic gave her a graceful body and enormous vitality and her body giving off a calm yet attractive and peaceful feeling.

This took her charming level to a mind bugging level.

Now she wanted to use this to fish out information from Anthony.

Although she saw that she couldnʼt compare herself to Anthony in terms of pure face values, she at least had confidence he has never seen anyone as beautiful as her.

And now, she would use this benefit given by her affinity to fish out information.

”Wow...I too Iʼm doing my part, but itʼs just too draining while training the wood element”

She sighed with a sad face as if she was reminiscing about her training.

Anthony knew it was all a charade, but he played along.

”Ahhh... Anthony do you have the wood elemental affinity so we can train together”

Zara said again as her face suddenly changed from sadness to happiness.

”Well, I havenʼt seen anybody with the wood element, it would have been cool just like you and maybe they can control an entire forest”

Anthony said with a sigh as he looked at the sky but he was eyeing Zara from the corner of his eyes.

Her expression was that of a disappointment as if him not having a wood elemental affinity just killed their training session.

ʼShe really deserves an oscar award with this level of acting, she should reincarnate as an actress on earthʼ

Anthony mused silently as looked at her.

Meanwhile Zara was having crisis as she was just frowning.

Normally when you ask someone if they had a certain element, they either affirmed or replied with the one they possessed.

But Anthony did none of this, which made her have no progress with her digging out information from him.

The rest simply recovered their lost mana as they listened to their conversation.

But they didnʼt get any information after eavesdropping on their conversation.

”Well it doesnʼt matter, the fact that you work for the Academy means you are highly talented, did you graduate from the Academy”

Zara instantly came back on track.

To her question, Anthony replied again as he shook his head at her.

”I didnʼt graduate from the Academy, I just trained alone and tried my best to remain alive”

Anthony didnʼt lie to her, who knew if this woman had a lie detection skill or something of that nature.

Although he didnʼt lie, he could twist the truth.

And with that, he just twisted the answers he gave Zara.

There was no way Zara didnʼt have a lie detection skill, as she would surely take advantage of her charm and beauty, complementing it with such a skill would make her information gathering skill to soar.

But as she asked all these questions, Anthony could see that she was on edge, ready to react anytime if he ever made a move.
