This is the hardest marathon- wait, I am not running in a marathon, this is a chase scene from a horror flick. These guys just chased us after those girls shouted "Pervert" on us. This made me pant a lot due to the intense running and also the fact that I am carrying Raigaki on my back.
I already cast Haste so that I can outrun them but f*ck as heck, these guys must be marathon athletes or something. They managed to catch up on me and they are actually on my tail right now. If magic skills that are flashy are not forbidden to use in the public, I would have used it already but damn, I am just maintaining my power in check while running with the ability of Haste.
"Raigaki-san! Damn you, why are you not doing anything?!" I cursed.
"Hahaha, well, you are carrying me so what can I do?"
"NO! You can do some sort of sh*t right?! I am getting tired running here and besides, you are pretty heavy, I am getting exhausted!"
"Ouch, that hurts a bit Kazuma. I am as light as a feather you know and I am not that fat to cause my heaviness," Raigaki said.
"JUST DO SOMETHING! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO!" I shouted at Raigaki because I am already frustrated by the fact that I am still running while he is relaxing while being carried.
"Alright, alright. Chill out kid, you can't attract many girls like that if you are too grumpy."
Raigaki pulls out something in his pocket and throws it to the chasing mob. In my peripheral view, Raigaki throws out a powder of some sort into the mob that disappeared in the air after it was thrown in the air. Then, I halt all of a sudden due to what happened next.
All of the mobs that are following us are all down and collapsed on the road. I looked at Raigaki and into the result of his intervention.
"Are they dead?"
"Hell no, I don't kill humans unless necessary Kazuma. They are just sleeping at the moment due to the Sleeping Dust I have thrown on them."
"Sleeping dust?"
"Yeah. Sleeping dust is an item I personally created and now being widely used by many magicians in the whole world in their magic usage for everyday life."
"So this is like a sleeping gas or something?"
"This is much convenient than the sleeping gas. You can store it anywhere and anytime, you can use it without a problem. Anyways, let get out of here before they wake up a few minutes later or a few pedestrians pass by in here."
What Raigaki said is true. If we lingered near, we would get suspected.
"But what about their memories? They will know that we are the ones that they are chasing earlier!"
"No worries Kazuma. I already fixed it. I combined the Dust of Forgetfulness and the Sleeping Dust together so that they won't be able to remember us."
Hearing that, I sighed in relief and we quickly departed from the place. That experience made me exhausted and sweating. That was really an intense exercise I tell you. Still, Raigaki remained grinning like what happened to him was not a problem and that he didn't have any kind of care if those mobs were around again.
"Did you have some fun Kazuma?" Raigaki grinned.
"Huh? Fun? No. When did I even get to have fun after becoming a magician? All I can think of is suffering and unnecessary attention from other enemies. And now I am forced to go back to school! Where is the fun in that?"
"Kazuma, Kazuma, you have only an enclosed space around you. Expand it once in a while and look for things that can make you happy. How can you get yourself a girlfriend if you are like that?"
I frowned and look at Raigaki with a glare. "Who needs a girlfriend? I don't need one right now with all this sh*t happening and me still busy in things like the mission of spontaneous awakening of other people. I don't need it at the moment."
"You wanna become a sage? Hah, that is no longer available man, I will teach you later on it."
"Agh, shut it, I have to go to school. I can't save you anymore if you ever flirt again on another girl."
"Oh, don't be like that. I am curious about this Body Thief that the others have mentioned. Let's take a look shall we?"
"Wait, what? You want to come with me to school?"
"Of course! Why not? I can help you with the case."
"I can't decide on that. Let's go ask Rena if you can get into the mission."
"Sure sure! I am sure that Rena will accept it with my skills to persuade her."
...
"NO!"
I was just holding my laughter seeing the utter rejection from Rena herself on the task to join me on the mission.
"But why? I am qualified to join him right? I am a good magician with no malicious intent or whatsoever!" Raigaki explained and shows his puppy pleading eyes.
"Ha! Shut your mouth Raigaki. SEAL OF SILENCE!"
As soon as Rena shouted that, Raigaki's voice disappeared.
"...!" Raigaki waved his hands frantically but still, his voice seems to be stuck in his throat.
"There, now he won't be bothering anymore. Kazuma, remember that this guy is not allowed to join any missions that involve interacting on girls that are unaware of his true identity!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Raigaki has the innate ability to bring trouble whenever he speaks in front of a girl that is not a magician. It would cause too many troubles for us."
Now that Rena mentioned that, it was indeed true. When he started to talk to the girl earlier, we were immediately stirring trouble and a mob of men started chasing us relentlessly. So that must be due to the innate ability of his? What a weird ability indeed.
"The only way for him to reverse the ability's effect is to mute him. That is why he is needed to mute in the real world and in the chat group."
