So What If It's an RPG World?

Volume 1, Chapter 10: Pioneering is a Painful Process

During the flight, I have been constantly thinking.

Everything I did was to ensure Irlin’s safety. Now that her safety was secured, I currently have to think of my own safety.

Still, I’m not totally used to the system of this world. I’m not sure of how magicians conduct their research. But if it really comes down to human experimentation, then I will have to think of a way to escape.

Although Aliyah did say that we would resurrect in the church when we die in the village, however, that was the situation in the Beginners’ Village. It’s not a definite outside the village. Also, there’s also a problem that I might revive in the laboratory instead.

This world is so realistic, if I am to die and not be able to resurrect, then isn’t that a big loss?

However, it’s not that easy to escape from this guy. This guy’s level is twice mine, and I have yet to see his lightning magic. If the increment in stats per level stays the same, then this guy can kill me with a simple knock on my head.

So scary, so very scary…

Speaking of which, why bother flying? Isn’t there a portal or something in this world? This isn’t convenient at all.

“Alright, we’re almost there, we’re about to land!”

Dale’s voice came across with the wind, and looking afar, we could already see the outline of the capital.

….

However, after a good while, our speed still did not decrease.

“Umm… Shouldn’t we decelerate? With this distance, it’s a bit dangerous.”

That’s right, even the people in the capital that saw us have the same thoughts, this guy did not have the intention to decelerate at all!

Is this guy thinking of slamming the breaks!?

“Ah, That, umm… Actually the magic I’m currently using is still in its experimental phase. So… I can’t decelerate with my magic at all!”

Dale laughed.

“Hah? No waaaaay!!”

Irlin’s and my scream resounded throughout the capital.

Irlin suddenly looked extremely scared, however, I’m pretty sure I had the same expression as hers.

“Position confirmed. Analysis of wind direction completed. Analysis of the amount of force needed to stop completed. Adjusting flight orbit.”

From Dale’s words, I could somehow guess the place we were going to land.

It was a spacious field near the city walls. A circular section of the field was bounded by metal wires, and within the circle was a grey-coloured object.

What is that? Some sort of speed hump?

“【Electromagnetic Ward】!”

A sphere of electricity appeared around us, and it connected to the circular field.

A backward force was felt by our bodies, and then, slowly, the three of us safely descended onto the landing platform.

“Look at this! This is a transfer mechanism made by combining the power of magic and science! This is simply a masterpiece! The realization of a low-cost transportation tool is not far away, hahahaha! Oh right, even I tell you guys about science, you won’t be able to understand, right? Oh well, since we have arrived at the capital, my promise has been kept.”

Dale looked really excited as he pulled both of us down the platform and into the streets of buildings.

“We’re… currently within the compounds of the Royal Magical Institute, aren’t we? Unless…”

Hearing Irlin’s words, Dale laughed.

“I’m actually the Vice President of the 3rd Research Facility of the Royal Magical Institute. Hahahaha!”

“And you’re still going around in a black robe? You look like a terrorist.”

“Hah? It’s a basic and exclusive right for all magicians to wear a robe, you know!”

“… Is that so? I see, you’re one as well.”

This guy had been acting weird since the start. He had been spouting stuffs like science and weird reasonings, he was obviously… a damn chuunibyou!

And the descending method earlier… If I were to look carefully, those were coiled wires right? By using the metal in our armor as a medium, he allowed us to decelerate.

Speaking of which, this guy was a lightning magic user.

“Alright, let’s chat after we hand over this quest, you freaking chuunibyou.”

“Eh? Eh? What did you just say?”

“I’m saying you’re a freaking chuunibyou that hasn’t graduated yet. Let’s hand over the quest together. I could probably share some of the EXP with you.”

“You…”

His body suddenly turned stiff and was stunned for a while. After that, he quickly walked over to my side, and whispered to my ear.

“You… You’re actually an otherworlder as well?”

“Ah, that’s right. Let’s go, gotta get that EXP.”

“I see… Tch. And here I was wondering when did NPCs become so dedicated. I even thought it was a rare quest. But to think it was your quest…”

“Stop complaining. She had been attacked by several enemies on the way. I bet the amount of EXP I get as reward would be large, right?”

“That I know, after all, they even send such a high-level guy like me. Of course I knew it wasn’t easy for her…”

Dale looked at Irlin, before continuing.

“Alright, since you’re the 2nd person I met that came from the same world as me, let’s help each other out.”

“That would be great. I’ve only been here for about a week, and I don’t know much about this world. Since I managed to meet someone that I can ask, I hope you can help me out, senpai.”

“Hey hey, don’t call me that, you’re making me sound old.”
