Chapter 113 The main characters of the novel?
Klaus and Carion stood around talking about different things; Carion seemed excited and nervous.
Still, he was determined to do it.
And the waiting time being long enough, many questions crossed Klaus' mind. Normally, he thought a lot more than he talked, but today, as he had seen more of the world, he had more questions than usual.
Suddenly, one of the questions he had asked himself before but had not asked came back to his mind.
Right now, he is in a world from a novel, the novel of one of his students.
This novel was pretty good, so Klaus wondered: 'Will I have arrived in the same era as the protagonists of the story? Or will it be one of those stories in which I arrive a long time after the era of those guys?'
As he thought about that, he also remembered the main characters' names and some of their quirks.
'If I'm not wrong, the main character was Brandon Reinhardt, who had a great sorcerer named... Daloc as his teacher? I think that was it... There was also Alya, Alexander, and Lucas...' He nodded after remembering that. He also remembered the last names they had, despite the fact that he hadn't read much about it.
He looked at Carion after remembering that.
"Carion, have you ever heard the name Brandon Reinhardt and Sorcerer Daloc?" he asked, taking Carion by surprise.
The question took him aback. "Why are you suddenly asking me about those legendary characters?" he asked.
"Oh? Do you know anything about them?"
Carion smiled, "Of course I know. Brandon Reinhardt is amazing. He's my age, but the legends surrounding him are amazing. Sometimes, I can't believe he started training at 18. Did you know? That guy managed to slay a Cursed Dragon and so much more."
"Regarding Daloc... He's a Grand Sorcerer, one step away from being a Saint Sorcerer. I heard he's Brandon Reinhardt's teacher and the same one who got him out of the Reinhardt Family, where Brandon was looked down upon. Hahaha, maybe the Reinhardt Family must be regretting letting such a talented person go, by now."
Klaus frowned. "I see. So, he's no longer in the Reinhardt Clan." He replied.
From what he knew, Daloc was one of the Grand Sorcerers of the Reinhardt Clan, which was a powerful one. Now that he was here, he had no idea how powerful it would be, as he hadn't read much about it.
But knowing this made him nod.
"What about the Arlott twins? Alya and Alexander, do you know them?"
"Of course, I've heard of that pair of twins. In fact, I've heard rumors that Alya and Brandon are a couple now, but I'm not sure. Are you interested in Alya?" he asked, looking sideways at him.
"Don't you already have that woman, Jasmine?" he asked mischievously, giving Klaus a little tap on the chest while teasing him.
But, as he said this, Carion frowned. 'Jasmine?' he thought.
Suddenly, he realized something.
"Right. A beautiful woman by the name of Jasmine... I remember that at the level of the Great Young Men like Alya, Alexander, and Brandon, there was a woman with those characteristics who belonged to our region. Miss Jasmine of the Carters." He said, finding that suspicious.
Klaus smiled, though he said nothing. 'I wonder what he would think if I told him that same beautiful lady proposed to me just this morning.' He thought, smiling a little.
Still, he changed the conversation to keep Jasmine's identity from being revealed.
"How about Lucas Stormbringer? Have you ever heard of him?" he asked.
At his question, Carion flinched a little, nodding. "Lucas Stormbringer... He's dangerous." he said suddenly.
"More than Brandon?"
Carion smiled.
"Brandon Reinhardt is amazing, but he's not comparable to Mr. Lucas. I heard he is already a Grand Sorcerer; he is only 2 or 3 years older, which makes him absurd. Also, the most dangerous thing about Lucas is that he is very close to here, further north, where the Stormbringer Clan rules. If it weren't for the presence of Clan Carter, we would be ruled by that man."
Klaus nodded. 'Grand Sorcerer... I don't know what level that is. From what I remember, the power system changed completely. But I'm still far from there since even Jasmine didn't mention it.'
Still, it was good to know some information from those people.
He was aware that his students were a bit crazy when creating characters. He knew he liked to create them being too amazing in something or several fields. Even more, they all surely have eccentric personalities. So, if he was in the same era, he had to be more careful with his moves.
Though that caused him a lot of interest, he couldn't walk away.
'Settling down and satiating my curiosity is my mission, but each time, that mission becomes more varied. As long as I am tied to Nithim Twice, I can't seem to leave here, but several curious things are happening in this country. The reason Jasmine and her brother are here. Nithim Twice, the Nithim itself, Etherleaf and Fallen Leaf, and the bastard Aranfer from the capital. That damned bastard wanted to kill me twice, and even though I stole something from him, I still feel it's not enough.' He thought.
Then he remembered the guy, 'The Professor'. According to his research, that man tested on humans. It's possible that Klaus was taken out of the Cursed Mist because of him.
Technically, he should be thanking him, but when he remembers Jasmine telling him that they probably tried to put a slave seal on him, it makes him feel angry, though he can easily control it.
And then there's the matter of Ronan Grimwell and the other bastard, Aranfer's new student, who had tried to assassinate him earlier.
'Tsk, shit. Come to think of it, I've got more to do than I thought.'
That wasn't a bad thing either. It added entertainment to his life, so he was also grateful for having so many things to do. The problem was that if all those things decided to move against him right now, he was either dead or he'd have to run.
'Well, maybe that would spark a good chase.' He smiled after thinking about this. Among the things he loved most about fantasy novels were moments like that—highly suspenseful chases where he didn't know what would happen next.
'Still, as much as I'd like to know what happens if I die again, I'm not so stupid as to go around looking for death by choice.' He smiled.

He decided to stop thinking about nonsense and focus on one thing now.
He needed to build his own research center, take advantage of the chaos, and become rich. At the same time, he wants to study the cursed beasts and cursed energy to know how to solve the problem with his ability. During that time, he had to solve several of the questions above.
With that decided, he was more at ease.
Although if it was based on the novels and his life in general, this time of tranquility where he had no problems seemed to be all too familiar: The calm before the storm.
