Chapter 278: After Restoring Magic, I Am Very Brave

"Go away, silly cat!"

Rin pressed the waste hero’s head down, pushing hard to get him out, his frustrated face wrinkling up like a dumpling.

"We are in a trial now, do you understand? This isn’t a vacation! Get some proper rest! Stop thinking about nonsense, or I will accidentally kick you out!"

Yes, that’s right; he was currently trying hard to resist the waste hero’s attacks.

This guy must be out of his mind; as soon as he enters the tent, he acts like a little pig, digging around everywhere, and even plans to sneak attack his magic device, trying to drag him into the exam room.

The trial is not the main point.

After all, they are so strong that the energy spent on restoring magic isn’t much.

But the problem is, this is still someone else’s territory; who knows if Leviathan has any awareness left after it’s gone, and restoring magic in front of others is really hard to accept.

Moreover, this cat is becoming more and more outrageous, completely forgetting that she owes him and has a series of contracts, always trying to overstep her bounds.

How can it go on like this?

I must establish my authority properly this time! Otherwise, what will happen when I get married in the future?

Miss Hero doesn’t care about so much; she just does whatever comes to her mind.

Being hesitant and indecisive does not qualify one to be a hero!

Ignoring Rin’s resistance, Emilia blinked her eyes and meowed a few times at Rin, trying hard to soothe the tsundere.

"It’s… okay, no one… will see."

Don’t ask her how she knows; just call it the intuition of a hero and a cat.

Rin’s face darkened, and he covered her face with his hand, "How did you know again? Silly thing, this isn’t at the hotel or at home, don’t go making a fuss!"

"Of course, it won’t happen, and besides, in the cabin before, we already tested it, didn’t we?"

"Is it the same thing? Angela isn’t here at night!"

But no matter how hard Rin tried to fend her off, this waste hero was surprisingly nimble and seemed to be everywhere. Eventually, it caused the magic device to react, which made Rin quite embarrassed.

The waste hero’s gaze landed on Rin’s treasured magic device, and with a swift flick of her paw, she was very pleased with the material of the magic device.

"Rin, indeed, you complain about it, but your body tells the truth."

"Wow!"

Rin felt a rush of anger and pressure, and without hesitation, he pulled the waste hero closer to the exam room and opened the seal to launch a counterattack.

Outside the tent, a ball of blue light bounced up and down, as if it had a glitch, flickering with strange runes. After a moment, it shook and vanished.

The whole cave shook a little with anger.

"Huh? Did the ground just shake? Could there be an earthquake here too?"

"It’s just an illusion, meow meow."

…

Early the next morning, Rin rubbed his head and lazily pulled the hero out of the tent. After a light breakfast, he started to pack up for the next trial.

After waiting a moment at the entrance, Rin felt he was well prepared, so he confidently entered the third layer of the cave.

Just as he stepped through the barrier, he noticed something was wrong. His eyes trembled, and he quickly reached out to stop the waste hero.

In just one second of reaction time, he was soaked in cold sweat.

After the waste hero stopped, he accidentally kicked a little stone. The stone rolled a short distance and fell into the endless abyss, like a needle falling into the ocean.

The two of them widened their eyes as they looked at the empty space in front of them and the fragments of walls that had broken into dozens of pieces in that space.

The remains of the walls should have been a passage once, but now they were shattered and floating chaotically in the air, moving at an irregular speed.

Only ten centimeters from Rin’s toes was a bottomless chasm.

"Go through them." The blue words appeared.

This opening line was much shorter than the last two and felt quite stiff, but Rin’s attention was not on it at all.

Because when it finished speaking, the magic lamps that were originally shining on the broken corridor had already gone out.

Now lit up is the magic lamp hanging at the entrance of the hallway, which can only light up an area of less than two meters.

One broken path happened to float in front of Rin, and the light above the platform automatically turned on, but it would go out when he moved away.

From this, we can tell that these lights also work with sensors; they will turn on when someone is within a certain distance.

This means that the difficulty of this challenge increased quite a bit, as one must jump onto the platform at the right moment.

You have to jump onto the platform the instant the light turns on, and timing is very important.

But the light can also be a trap; if you jump from too far away and can’t reach it, or if the platform is very small and you slip off, it could be disastrous.

Who knows if this abyss is just an illusion or truly exists, and no one dares to bet that it is just magic.

Also, most of the floating platforms here can only fit one person, so having two people on one would be very difficult.

This trial is indeed enough to make one feel fear and hesitate to move forward.

Rin watched for a while; although the speed of the broken platforms kept changing, the path they drifted on remained the same.

The nearest and safest platform returns every fourth time.

It is likely that earth magic will pass easily.

But then Rin shook his head again; there was no magic restriction here, but the elements were too scarce, and even making a fireball was difficult.

However, the storage device could be used, which means that space mages could pass this challenge without any trouble.

Rin searched through his ring but couldn’t find any items to make things easier, so he helplessly said to waste hero,

"I’m not sure if these stone platforms are safe to step on; be careful and it’s best to bring a hook and lock."

Upon hearing this, waste hero nodded and took out the flying rope he used for climbing trees, which he had specially for reaching Rin’s dorm.

This way, whether Rin had an accident or he did, neither would easily fall.

Emilia is very confident in her ability to throw the flying rope accurately and quickly.

The hero is quick and light, jumping effortlessly onto a rock three meters away, landing firmly and steadily.

Rin doesn’t have that kind of jumping ability, so he chose the closest rock and hopped onto it.

The moment he landed, his legs felt a bit wobbly.

This really tests a person’s courage.

Anyone with a fear of heights would surely feel like they would die here today.

This thing requires not only bravery but also decisiveness; if you hesitate for even a moment, you might fall into the dark abyss below.

The hero truly lives up to her name, handling this challenge with ease, stopping each time to stare intently at Rin, showing her concern for his safety.

Rin keeps encouraging himself, counting the platforms he needs to land on and how many more jumps it will take to reach the next one.

With careful steps, Rin finally followed closely behind the waste hero and stepped onto the last wide corridor on the opposite side.

Rin took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

His back was already soaked with cold sweat, and his legs felt a bit weak, but thankfully, he had made it through.

It turns out I am quite brave too.
