"That's actually pretty good. What do you think?"

[Well, this is useful for daily life. As long as you have mana, the food isn't a concern. And you can even learn to gather mana from the air and water.]

"What am I, a fucking plant?"

[No you idiot, everyone can learn to gather mana from the air and water. Everyone who has even a little mana capacity can learn to gather mana from their surroundings.]

"But not everyone can use mana to survive."

[Good point. Now that I think of it, you're just like a plant. Haha! ~]

"Haha! ~,"

The system together with Dorian had a laugh and then Dorian continued eating his meal. He soon noticed the effects of gluttony, as he felt more revitalized after every bite he took.

"Found him. He's alone!"

Dorian noticed a dozen men behind him. He thought that they might be assassins, however, he decided not to jump to conclusions. He did not attack, only climbed the ran to hide, climbed the tree, and whispered.

"Who are these people??"

[They seem to be the servants of your lover.]

"Lover? I don't have one. Oh? How funny."

He realized that the system was talking about Sara and got a little irritated. He pondered what he should do.

"Should I fight them? Nah, that's dumb. It would be a trouble to become a fugitive."

[You're already a fugitive.]

"Huh?"

[Trying to escape slavery is a crime punishable by death. So unless they enslaved you illegally, you're a fugitive.]

"What kind of bullshit is that?!"

Dorian was so shocked he almost spoke out loud. Luckily, none of the hunters heard him. It puzzled the system at how quickly hunters found them. She expected no one would notice Dorian's disappearance for at least a day or two.

[How did they realize you were gone? Did someone come to check on you?]

"I do not know. What should I do?"

[You're not ready to become a fugitive yet. You don't even have knowledge about magic yet. I suggest you make an excuse for not being in your barn. Say that you were hunting for food.]

"You think that will work?"

[It is better than becoming a fugitive without even a damn class.]

As annoying as it was, Dorian realized it was the only option. It would be terrible to become a fugitive so soon, not to mention, he already had the assassins coming after him.

"Are you sure these guys are not enemies?"

[I am sure. Look at that guy in the back. He's the same priest who cured your burnt hand.]

Dorian noticed a familiar face. But he was still suspicious about them since he know nothing about these people. Not to mention, he already fought two assassins.

"That does not mean these people are not against me. You said it yourself that you're not omniscient. What if they are involved in that conspiracy?"

[You are overly dramatic. I bet you just don't want to return to your girlfriend after tasting a little freedom.]

"Yes, that as well. Who needs Sara when I have you?"

The system was mischievously teasing Dorian, however, Dorian teased her back. If the system had a physical body, she would have blushed.

[Airhead.]

She shut up, and Dorian took this as his win. Dorian trusted the system and climbed down from the tree. He gathered all his courage and went to the hunters.

The hunters were anxious because they knew if they won't find Dorian, they might face the consequences. Sara was not the forgiving type. They all felt relieved when Dorian walked out from the shadows.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?"

"What's going on?!"

Suddenly, Damian rushes into the scene and grabs Dorian by his collar. His eyes were full of rage, and he was shaking. Sara called for him in the middle of the night and forced him to join the search party to look for Dorian. He knew that he and Sara had some sort of weird relationship, and this made him furious. He wished that Dorian either disappeared or died in the forest. However, all he could do in front of all these hunters was scold him.

"What do you mean by what's going on?! Where the fuck were you?"

Dorian scratched his chin and lied about the whole situation. He explained how he entered the forest for a hunt and got lost, so he wandered around the entire night, looking for the exit. To the hunters, this seemed like a very possible situation. However, Damian, who was looking for an excuse to lash out at Dorian, continued to claim that Dorian's actions were suspicious.

"You're lying! You wanted to run away, didn't you?!"

However, Dorian just looked at Damian with an empty and expressionless face and asked him.

"Even if I wanted to escape, I wouldn't tell you that. Don't you think so?"

Seeing how Dorian no longer has any fear for him hurt Damian's ego. Damian kept getting more and more irritated to the point he punched Dorian. However, Dorian's defense was so high compared to Damian's strength that Damian hurt his own hand instead.

"Auch!"

"Are you okay?"

"You dare to fight back?!"

[Ah yes, an idiot. If someday, you will end up killing this guy… I will pretend that nothing happened.]

The system felt annoyed with Damian, while Dorian looked at him with pity. He was feeling embarrassed just by looking at Damian's stupidity and could not express with words how sorry he felt for Damian's parents.
