To be honest, at first Fang Zheng really thought this was a normal world.
After all, everything around looked pretty normal, and people seed normal too.
But now... he’s completely overturned his judgnt.
Lina Inverse was already quite abnormal, and this person called gumin, not only had a weird na, but she was also an oddball!
In a certain sense, she’s even more dangerous than Lina Inverse. At least Lina Inverse only casts Dragon-Slaying Spell when she sees an enemy, while gumin wouldn’t rest until she unleashed a Burst Magic every day!
What kind of people are these!
"Sorry, we can’t have you in the team."
Fang Zheng decisively made up his mind, jokingly, if this problem child were added, he felt he’d not only get a headache but a stomachache too.
"Huh? Wait, wait! I’m a Great Mage, you know!"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, gumin panicked.
"My goal is Burst Magic, I can forego rewards for that! How about it? A Great Mage, now you can recruit for just food and expenses. There’s nothing cheaper than this, right!"
"But what use is a Great Mage who can only use Burst Magic once a day? Besides, if we go underground, you can’t use Burst Magic there either!"
"But no team is willing to take on, even if it’s just to carry luggage, I’ll do anything!"
"Then why not learn other magic!"
"No way! My love for Burst Magic is unwavering!"
"Oh-ho..."
Upon hearing this, a vein throbbed on Fang Zheng’s forehead.
"You’re saying... your love for Burst Magic is unwavering, right?"
"That’s right!"
"Then, let test that love of yours."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng ca to gumin and reached out, pressing her to the ground.
"Eh? Eh??"
"You’ve said it yourself, after using Burst Magic, you can’t even move, do you understand what that ans? Kiddo? It ans other people can do whatever they want to you. Even if I do this or that to you right here and now, you can’t resist! Is that okay?"
"Ugh... ugh..."
Watching Fang Zheng approaching, gumin blushed red with embarrassnt, while the cleric beside them was stupefied with shock.
"You’ve said that your love for Burst Magic is unwavering, right?"
Fang Zheng flexed his fingers.
"So, where should we start? Should I strip off your clothes first and ticulously examine every part of your body, or tie you up with a rope and indulge myself? Or perhaps after I’m bored, I’ll just throw you into the slum’s brothel, sell you to those vagrants? What do you think? This is the consequence of choosing Burst Magic, have you realized it now?"
"...Ugh, I understand."
Confronted by Fang Zheng’s words, gumin turned her head, blushing deeply.
"I see, as long as you understand."
"Do as you please."
"...Hmm?"
"You can take my body, but you can’t take away my love for Burst Magic! And as long as you’re willing to take responsibility for , th-then... do whatever you want!
"......"
Can I just kill you, darn it!
Looking at the flushed yet stubborn and defiant gumin, Fang Zheng wished he could just slice her with his sword. There should be limits to being a weirdo! He originally thought a little scare would get gumin to behave. After all, there was indeed a real possibility of this happening, yet... this damned little oddball remains defiant?
Ah... my head hurts.
Fang Zheng only felt this was more troubleso than the Black Cat, as the Black Cat wasn’t this inexplicably stubborn. Although quirky, the Black Cat would still listen when needed.
"W-Will you really do that to her, Sir Knight..."
At this point, the cleric beside opened her mouth timidly to inquire, causing Fang Zheng to sigh helplessly.
"I was just trying to scare her a bit, fine... let’s take her back to the guild, then leave her there."
"Eh? You won’t take her in the team?"
"No, what’s the use of a Great Mage who can only use Burst Magic once a day?"
"B-But..."
The cleric looked at gumin worriedly while speaking.
"What you said before, will it co true?"
"For her, unless she fixes this habit, it’s inevitable. Maybe when she’s pregnant and sold to the slum’s brothel, she’ll wake up."
"Ugh...!"
Hearing this, gumin shivered involuntarily but bit back her words.
"Th-then let’s take her with us."
"Are you sure?"
Fang Zheng asked as he looked at the cleric.
"Listen up, this girl has an incurable disease, it’s untreatable, only getting worse, dragging herself and others into trouble..."
"Incurable? Not even Divine Arts can cure it?"
"Can’t be cured."
"Will she die?"
"It depends. Most recover naturally once they grow up..."
So might never be cured in their lifeti.
"Th-then let’s take her with us!"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, the cleric seed to have made up her mind.
"I’m a cleric of the Earth Mother Goddess, protecting and healing is my duty... I can’t just ignore soone in need!"
"...It’s your team, do what you want..."
At this point, Fang Zheng didn’t even have the energy to sigh.
And so, Great Mage (self-proclaid) gumin joined the cleric’s team, becoming the most indispensable (not really) spellcaster in the team...
In the following days, Fang Zheng spent his ti like this every day.
Taking gumin and the cleric out of the town, finding a deserted place, then having gumin unleash a Burst Magic to pull creatures, followed by the cleric stepping forward to protect gumin during battles... Since the cleric’s strength didn’t support using flails or teor hamrs, Fang Zheng selected a staff for her—a weapon about the length of a dagger with a blunt head, mainly for striking. Additionally, it could also serve as a Holy Emblem to use Divine Arts.
However...
"After all, we really need a dedicated lee professional in the squad."
After another training ended, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but lant. Although he could join, the cleric’s team, with just her and the brainless Red Demon Clan girl, was simply insufficient to fight off too many creatures. If it were a ga, the cleric could hold aggression, allowing gumin to deal damage from behind.
But in reality, considering Burst Magic’s power, having the cleric hold aggression would likely wipe everyone out, including her.
Unless a Holy Shield was used.
But unfortunately, since gumin joined their team, adventurers at the guild stayed clear of them. This brainless Red Demon Clan girl seed to be a disaster star. At least everyone knew about her here, and nobody wanted to join such a seemingly hopeless team.
Yes, this is the decision made by any ntally sound adventurer.
"Let’s head back to the city for now."
After confirming they couldn’t deceive new adventurers into joining in the town, Fang Zheng thought of another plan. Since gumin had been blacklisted by the Adventurers’ Guild in this town, they would have to recruit in a place where no one knew her!
At least need to recruit a lee adventurer!
