Moments later, Randy suddenly said: “Let’s hurry up and go back to the city.”

Upon hearing his voice, the black-haired girl agreed with a silent nod, clearly still feeling apprehensive toward whatever power they momentarily felt, and its source.

Randy was aware of her apprehension even though, outwardly, she appeared to be calm. He could tell from her gaze as she furtively but cautiously looked around their surroundings as if searching for an enemy.

Randy admired her cautious nature.

Of course, he was also cautious, so he kept his Dimensional Sense skill activated the whole time, just in case the source of that power approached them somehow without their notice.

However, he didn’t say anything to her and simply walked ahead with the two people he was carrying- the green-clothed young woman in his arms and the young mage girl on his back, who was held on his back using a mana rope created using his Energy Manifestation skill.

Thus, with Randy carrying the unconscious, green-clothed young woman and the mage girl on their team, and the black-haired girl carrying the stout young man, they both made their way out of the forest and towards the city.

Shortly after walking out of the forest, they unexpectedly ran into Eliana, who was carrying her team members with some magic spell as they floated in the air.

This greatly surprised Randy when he saw what was truly happening.

.....

According to his observation, it didn’t seem to be telekinesis like his instructor’s ability, but pure mana control based on his initial deduction. It was even more so when he used his dimensional sense skill to perceive the flow of the mana around.

‘Such dense and immense mana... What kind of monster is she? I have never felt this level of mana fluctuations from anyone before, except perhaps from my mother.’

He only briefly looked at the young girl when he walked toward her, who was on the path that led to the city.

But upon sensing the mana she was emitting from her small body, he decided to employ his Dimensional Sense skill to secretly observe her. However, he was shocked when he noticed the density of the mana fluctuations coming from her body.

Curious, Randy unconsciously turned to face the young girl who wielded such a tremendous level of power. However, to his surprise, the young girl was also looking at him intensely when he did. This caused Randy to feel a sense of nostalgia, as he remembered the feeling of that gaze from somewhere.

‘Wait! Isn’t that the girl from last time? Why is she still looking at me like that? Did I offend her or something?’ Randy was bewildered by this young girl who looked younger than him by a few years.

He doesn’t recall offending her last time either when they met in the Society Leader’s room, but she gave him a strange look at that time.

And now, she was doing the same thing as before- staring at him with that gaze that seemed to be probing him for something.

When he was about to ask her why she was looking at him in that way, just then, the young girl’s eyes met his. This caused him to blankly stare at her glowing blue eyes.

After a moment, the young girl averted her gaze away from him quietly. Therefore, he could only give up on his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Eliana slowed down her pace as she carried her comrades using her magic spell.

She watched as Randy walked away and then fell into deep thoughts.

‘As I thought, the aura coming from his body is the same as the aura of that blood we found on that battlefield. If so, does that mean that he was the one that apprehended those two demons?’

‘But that should be impossible! That level of power should only be possible for those at level 60 and above. But according to the Society Leader, he only joined recently. And even though they said he monstrously leveled up within a short time after registering, he was only supposed to be level 55 officially.’

She gave Randy a quick glance as he walked away with the black-haired girl, and then murmured under her breath: “So how did he do it? Even if I account for that unknown chaotic aura he emits, it shouldn’t be possible with just that level of power fluctuation alone.’

“Furthermore, there were two battlefields. However, there was only one of him, so he shouldn’t have been capable of fighting those two demons by himself. Don’t tell me he fought them with those people with him? Are they his comrades?”

The more she thought about it, the more likely that conjecture seemed to be the case.

Although she didn’t know if they were his comrades, she could tell that they very likely had a hand to play in the battle against those demons.

This was evident from the fact that most of the people who were with him were unconscious.

Furthermore, judging from their current state, it appeared as though they had fought a harsh battle with their lives on the line, resulting in their current states.

However, despite her thoughts, she still planned on investigating what had truly happened once she reported the situation to the Society Leader.

In the meantime, she could only carry her comrade back to the city since all of them were unconscious from their altercation with the demon general just then.

Although Tiana was not affected during the actual fight, she had drained all her mana points to heal her injured comrades– including Vairon who was rendered unconscious with a few broken bones from enduring the Demon General’s overwhelming pressure.

As soon as Tiana healed Gutz and Vairon, they immediately fell unconscious from the trauma.

Naturally, they lost consciousness only when they realized that the enemy was no longer present.

However, Tiana fainted from exhaustion, as she used up all her mana in her body.

Thus, Eliana had no choice but to carry all of them back to the city.

Fortunately for her, she had a magic spell just for the occasion, so it wasn’t a hassle for her to do so.

...

Meanwhile.

After leaving that strange girl behind, Randy proceeded to the city with the black-haired girl. They both decided to quicken their pace in order to reach the city faster and treat the green-clothed young woman and the others.

After all, he may have healed them, but he didn’t recover the blood that they had lost when they encountered the vampire man.

Furthermore, his healing technique wasn’t considered actual healing, so they needed to be checked on by a doctor or healer to be truly safe.

Sometime later, they arrived in the city, and everyone was shocked when they saw Randy carrying two women- one on his back and the other was carried like a princess.

The men they came across in the city were envious of him, who carried two beauties. They wanted to know why he was carrying them.

However, they never approached Randy, who appeared unfriendly, as he had this cold expression on his face that made them think twice about their actions.

For some reason, the gazes those people were giving him reminded him of his days as a loser in his class. Back then, his classmates only scrutinized him for faults no matter what he did, and he felt that gaze from these people.

A while later, they entered the Society building, shocking everyone in the building when they saw them walking in the building, especially Zophia, the receptionist.
