The Newbie Is Too Strong's
149 Luca's First Adventure into the Land of Nostalgic Sword and Magic
That afternoon after class, Luca immediately headed to his clubroom hoping that at the end of the day there would be participants who would challenge him to the match practice.
But in the middle of the road when crossing the teacher room,
“Luca!”
A teacher called him.
“Ah, Brother Sasmi.”
That's Luca's literature teacher, Ms. Sasmi.
Luca cheers with his innocent look accompanied by a wide smile then brings various prejudices from other teachers who also happened to be in the teacher's room about the teacher's mother who had just turned old The 39-year-old was called a big brother by a plain 15-year-old student.
Bu Sasmi's glasses instantly become shattering of Luca's short-lived behavior that doesn't know the place. However, the teacher had become accustomed to the absurd behavior of the overly innocent student. The teacher did not question it or arguably more appropriate the teacher had given up on the matter about him also knowing that there was no ill intention of Luca at all in doing so.
Everything is purely because of his innocence (stupidity) is very that when talking about the ability of normal social interaction.
But from the beginning it was the fault of Bu Sasmi himself who first teased with the trick of the innocent student who did not know anything about it while in class so he ended up trapped in the call of his brother by him hitherto.
“Ehem. Luca, if in the teacher's room, can not call me as Big Brother, but must be called respectfully, Miss Master Sasmi.”
“Siap, Mrs Teacher Sasmi.” Luca replied again innocently.
But it was too late to correct the image of the teacher,
“Eh, so if outside can call him with the name Sister?”
“What did the old virgin do to the pupil as innocently as she was behind?”
“Sssst, you better not get too involved. Pretend not to know.”
Neighborly whispers that could still be heard clearly were heard everywhere.
But Sasmi forgot all about it.
Miss Sasmi is happy.
Luca's innocent smile has returned to what it used to be.
“Where are you going? Club training huh?”
“Iya, Mum.”
“Young people are indeed full of passion. Goody. Continue there!”
“Ready, Bu.”
Luca left the teacher's room accompanied by a wave of hands by Bu Sasmi.
“Thank God, yesterday's incident did not cause severe mental injury in Luca's mind. There could be someone who could hurt such an innocent child! Huff!”
Sasmi also frowned while returning to pick up and read the news in the newspaper on his desk.
“Is this what might be called karma huh? The father was fired because of corruption and then one family disappeared somewhere because it was chased by loan sharks. Even though he's a bad boy, but I hope that wherever he is, Toriq will be fine too. Apart from that, should I be grateful because with this the security of Luca will no longer be threatened by that vengeful family?”
Ms. Sasmi sighed with concern.

“Ah, hello, Ellen.”
At the entrance, Luca accidentally crosses paths with Ellen. He greeted the glasses lady.
“Ah, hi, Luca.” Ellen's reply was accompanied by a friendly smile.
But there was something strange about that woman. Hand trembling.
And when Luca had turned around, his eyes instead looked at Luca's back with a distorted look as if looking angry.

Senior Areka soared quickly to third, as did Egi who had just entered the top 9 after successfully beating the seniors with a nine-match winning streak.
Unfortunately for Kak Raia, it is still held in 15th place and for Kak Nina in 19th place. Chika and Diana had also fought well. Diana had beaten Kak Nina in 18th place, while Chika was still stuck in 22nd place.
But the one that remains annoying today, again no one challenged me to practice a match. After I thought earlier, Senior Areka who looked so excited with her nine consecutive wins would finally challenge me, she only challenged Brother Yudishar in second place by ignoring me.
Ah, if only the top position could also challenge the bottom position, there would have been a lot of fighting fun that I would feel.
Because again there was no work at the club, I also headed to the residence of Brother Silvia after I had previously returned home which was close enough to school to change clothes. There, I was again still practicing a meditation routine that Brother Silvia said so that I could unite each grain of mana into my blood.
At 6 pm, I rushed home, then two hours later, came my awaited moments, adventures with the party alchemists Kak Krimson and Chika.
In the village square of the beginner, apparently Kak Krimson and Chika had arrived first so that once I got there, we immediately set out to run the quest received by Kak Krimson.
Oh yes, for Diana's training, still under the auspices of Aunt Deborah, as well as Kak Nina and Kak Raia, still training to match with additional partners Lia and Kak Andra, as well, so I feel safe on their side. I also still temporarily placed Aura in the Imperial Capital of Lalania to watch the movement of the zombies.
“So, what's the quest details like, Kak?” I started my conversation with Kak Krimson.
I accidentally glanced at Chika. I don't know why his face was so red. But there's no way Krimson's sister could have done anything to him. Or is he sick? But could the avatar's body also have a fever? I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her in my heart, but since it didn't seem like a bad thing, so I decided to just ignore it.
“Oh, the quest is simple. Just deliver the alchemy potion that the professor had made to the Kingdom of Doremi.”
“What kind of banquet, Brother?” I asked back with more curiosity.
“Not a special herb, only an effective lice killer herb, also a preventer of skin infections due to fur, and the like. Hahaahahaha. Know for yourself that the Kingdom of Doremi was ruled by beastman.”
“Oh, so it seems.”
But the question for Kak Krimson is not finished there. Now it was Chika's turn to ask, though,
“Lantas, are we there for an escort mission, Brother?”
Chika asked seemed to be trying fine, but still her face turned red. After I noticed, is the cause really Kak Krimson? Butwhy? Krimson didn't do anything to her at all, did she?
“No. Not at all. High level adventurers and some powerful NPCs had hired themselves for escort. Our job is only to make sure the ingredients remain in certain conditions so that they are not damaged during the trip.”
Forgetting Chika's expression, the reply from Kak Krimson instantly broke my spirit.
“Then I am useless dong, Brother Krimson, because I am assassin.” I immediately added with a disappointed expression as soon as I realized that what Kak Krimson needed was the expertise of alchemist players only so that absolute assassin players like me were not needed.
“Hahahaha.” But to the statement I solemnly uttered, Brother Krimson laughed out loud.
“What are you saying, Luca. Precisely your most important existence here, since as an assassin, your instincts feel the danger a little sharper than me so that we can better protect the medicine from various evil intentions veiled.”
“Thank God then, Brother.” I also answered while smiling.
But in my heart I cursed what this man said. Since it was clear on our last quest, I witnessed for myself that Kak Krimson's instincts were much sharper than me regardless of his class of alchemists.
Not long after walking from the portal of the Nostalgic Sword and Magic Academy Country, we arrived at the center of the crowd. Really the entire place was filled with NPCs mingling a little with VIP players.
And more than that, this place is truly amazing. All kinds of merchandise selling various items ranging from food, drinks, to weapons and potions neatly arranged along the market street. What a beautiful sight. Plus a smile full of happiness from the citizens that indicates this place is very safe from the attacks of monsters, adding to the coolness of this place.
If only I had stayed here, I would have stayed in Nostalgia instead of Gardenia. Well, of course my current home is the best. Nothing can beat the peace of the real world.
Kak Krimson took us to the academy building located on the edge of the city.
Kak Krimson then explained that the power of the Nostalgic State government is directly held by the academy, the northern part for the Nostalgic Sword Academy and the northern part for the Nostalgic Magic Academy. The Alchemist itself is one of the branches of science of the magic academy so the place we will be heading to now is the academy building located in the south of the country.
As soon as I got there, Brother Krimson immediately took me and Chika to a room located at the very top. Inside the room, a white-haired old geezer with top hair that looked quite thin had been there first and welcomed us.
“Oh, Son Krimson. You have arrived apparently.”
“Ah, how are you, Professor Bruntall. It's nice to see you back. Oh introduce, this is Luca and Chika, who will help me keep the herb during the transportation process.”
“Hohohohohoho. Please help..”.
“Nothing, Professor..”.
Apparently the old man in front of us is the professor who makes skin care and fur potions for the beastman, the client of the quest received by Kak Krimson.
