Red Flags [C100]

After checking his status, Shu Himo was about to go outside, when he suddenly heard a familiar *Ding*

[Abrupt Quest: Defend the Shu Kingdom!]

[An army will invade the Shu Kingdom in 3 days. Defend your territory!]

[Quest Difficulty: SS-]

[Quest Reward: 500 BS points!]

[Quest Failure Penitence: The destruction of the Shu Kingdom.]

The new quest stunned Shu Himo, 'Why would someone attack the Shu Kingdom five years after it formed, instead of the first year where they could abuse the internal disorder formed from the change of power?'

[Maybe they were preparing for a big invasion with the aim to conquer multiple kingdoms instead of just the Shu Kingdom. The Shu Kingdom was never a strong Kingdom, so there is a high chance that they were not worried about it.]

Pondering about it, Shu Himo nodded in understanding, 'That is most likely the reason.'

He then closed his eyes, while saying, "Map!"

In his view, all the Shu Kingdom appeared as if he were looking a map from above. Looking around, he noticed a small spot covered in black fog, as if it was conquered by enemies. Seeing it, Shu Himo immediately knew, "That is an enemy encampment!" Knowing that he had no time, Shu Himo quickly went outside.

Walking outside the mansion, he noticed a 15-years-old girl waiting outside. Her celestial blue twintails fluttered with the wind, creating a breathtaking scene, capable of calming anyone's heart.

Hearing steps coming from the mansion, the girl turned, revealing red pupils that appeared to proclaim the death of those who dared to stare at her eyes directly.

Her features were worthy of being called an otherworldly beauty, however no one dared to pursue her.

Recognizing her, Shu Himo smiled and waved his hand, "Good morning Azusa!"

Aura Azusa, hearing Shu Himo grinned, "Good morni-" Suddenly, she stopped talking, having a shocked face, however, the shocked face quickly became a relieved one, "You brokethrough? Finally… I feared you planned to stay in the 2nd string forever…"

Hearing her sentence Shu Himo lightly smiled, while he stood in Dantian Formation of the 2nd string for five years, Aura Azusa already reached Nascent Soul realm… but this difference will not stay for long!

"Azusa, today I will go to the headmaster and return home, as I have an important mission that awaits me."

Aura Azusa was startled, what kind of mission was he going to do? Pondering for a moment, she then smiled, "I will come too."

Hearing her, Shu Himo felt happy, "Okay, thank you."

Having decided to return together, Aura Azusa, Shu Himo and Phylia walked toward the residence of the headmaster.

The teachers are now not surveilling them anymore, especially because both Shu Himo and Aura Azusa would be able to notice them.

-----

Two minutes of later, a voice resounded in the residence area, "Headmaster, come out!"

Startled, the headmaster immediately ran outside of the residence worrying if there was an enemy attack, "What is happening?"

Screaming as he stomped outside, he suddenly froze, eyes twitching as he stared at the three familiar faces, "What do you three want from me? It wasn't enough destroying five training areas last week?!"

Hearing his scolding, the three felt like they had been wronged; it wasn't their fault if the training area was so fragile!

Calming down quickly, Shu Himo explained the reason, "We need someone to teleport us back to my Kingdom."

The headmaster was initially puzzled for the reason for going back, but a moment later he came to a realization, 'If they go back I will not need to adjust the training areas every week!' With an excited look, he hastily replied, "Sure! Wait a moment and I will teleport you back... Aura Azusa is coming with you?"

Seeing them nodding to his question, the headmaster quickly changed his clothes and reached the three, "Let's walk outside of the Academy, I will teleport you three afterward."

As they did not mind, they all began walking through the portals, and after barely a minute they arrived outside.

Seeing that they all were here, the headmaster smiled, he clearly could not wait to send them away, "Very well, I will now teleport you to the Shu Kingdom… however, as I do not possess the precise location, you may get teleported in a random location, but it should be close to the capital."

Hearing the last sentence, Shu Himo had a bad feeling, 'Did the headmaster just raise a red flag?'

[The User should not worry about things like that.]

'What? The teleport will surely not work!'

[Just calm down, the headmaster is at Longevity Realm, he can't make such an error.]

'You just raised another red flag! Stop it!'

Suddenly, around Shu Himo, Aura Azusa and Phylia appeared a half dark, half transparent layer that seemed to manipulate space itself.

Seeing that the headmaster is smiling and waving his hand toward them as a sign of goodbye, Aura Azusa and Phylia also smiled toward him, while Shu Himo had a worried look. However, to the headmaster, those expressions did not seem desirable ones at all, and he instead felt startled, 'Are you planning to come back to break the academy?!'

Even while having such thoughts, he did not show it to them, and a moment later the three abruptly vanished from view.

Seeing that the teleportation was a success, the headmaster clenched his fist in joy as he punched towards the sky in celebration, "Hopefully I will be free from adjusting training rooms for a couple weeks!"

-----

Unbeknown to the Headmaster's worries, the three appeared in a new area.

Looking around, Aura Azusa could not help but be surprised, what is this place?

Seeing everything, Shu Himo was speechless, 'System, you and your red flags!'

[How unreasonable.]

Meanwhile, Phylia was just laughing happily.

Unsurprisingly, around them there were a lot of monsters with various forms, from giant octopus to enormous gorillas, from the 5th Rank to the 7th Rank, staring directly at the three as if they were preys.
