The Strongest Prophet Who Had Trained 100 Heroes Is Admired By His Apprentices Around The World Even As An Adventurer Chapter 1

1st Story —The Prophet Recovers His Strength

What greeted us after leaving the Other World was a forest full of sunshine and a road that was built with a solid pathway. Not far away from the road, I saw a large city.

“Ah, this sure brings back memories. Isn’t this the Pioneer City?”

“Oh, right. Eisen-sensei had been to that place before, right? According to the letters that comes to you from time to time, the modernization on that city was progressing so much that it became easier to live in.”

“I can see that basing from how the fields and meadows here are well maintained.”

Thanks to the letters that comes to me frequently, we knew a lot about the countries in the Human World. But I realized how fun it was to see them with my own eyes.

To be honest, it brings a lot more excitement now that I’m actually looking at the recent progress of the countries being reported to me. This is what exactly I was looking forward when I went on a trip since I remembered the letter very well.

“I think there’s a Global Guild branch in this city that hasn’t change since decades ago.”

Global Guild is a guild that gathers information not only about the country but also about the world’s occupants. You can register your job and get a copy of what’s called a “Global Card” to get a proof of your status. In cities and countries where there are checking stations located, such identification is important.

“I’ll either renew my ID at Global Guild or make a new one so I can use it on our journey.”

The card that I made when I was a Prophet have disappeared in the previous war, so I need to get a new one. Rinne also said the same thing.

“Um, I also don’t have a card so I want to get one… Um, Eisen-sensei? The book at the end of that staff, isn’t it shining?”

In the middle of her words, she pointed to the stick that I was holding. There was a small and thin book on the tip of the staff, it’s also the weapon that I’ve been using for a long time—that staff, as Rinne says, was emitting a pale light.

The reason is simple:

“—Oh, it seemed to have sensed the power that I have sealed up.”

Yes. The small book was responding to the power I had left in the Human World.

“I’ve put such function on this staff so I’d have the chance to find it.”

“Then that mean it’s just around here?”

“Yeah, I remember it leaving it somewhere around here before going to the Other World.”

Although I vaguely remember it since I’m about to lose my consciousness at that time and I had to prioritize my safety. But that’s where the function of the staff comes—

I raised my staff and turned around to activate it. There was a certain spot where the light was stronger—it was the large tree in the forest with a thick vine entwined in its twigs.

“I think it’s somewhere around here.”

I took my staff closer to the big tree, and then—

—PAH

The vine that was entwined to the trunk of the large tree began to shine, gathered in one place in a few seconds, and changed into a paper-like form instantly.

【Release Conditions・Acknowledged・Restoring】

Those words appeared on the paper and was sucked into the little book at the top of the staff I had set up. As a result, the book on the tip of my stick was thicker than before. Rinne who witnessed all of these t.i.tled her head.

“Eh, Eisen-sensei? Is this how you recover your powers?”

“Perhaps, it’s as you can see—”

While saying this, I opened the book at the end of the staff. This book lists the skills and magic that I can use as a Prophet but somehow, my apprentices calls it the book of prophecy. The truth is that aside from being used as an intermediary magic, I can only use it as a recording device. Anyway, I turned to the last page to see what was newly added page.

There, I saw—

『Recovery Completed 【Skill：Magic Amplifier】 Acquired』

These are the words written on the new page.

“Yes, I think I’ve regained some of my powers without any problems.”

“Really?! Eisen-sensei was already strong, but now he’s going to be a lot more stronger.”

“Haha, you say I got stronger but this is not enough.”

This skill called 「Magic Amplifier」 is simply a common skill that increases my magic power for a bit. But I guess it’s better to have this skill than not having one and I’m glad that I can actually get it back.

I believe I should be grateful for the small things—

“Hmm—”

Rinne’s long ears twitched.

“Eisen-sensei, I think you’ve also noticed that there’s a demon beast coming.”

Rinne says as she looked at the trees in front of us next to the road and with a rustling noise, appears a demon beast—

“Guu…”

A big outgrown tusked beast with its big foot unhesitantly approached us. It was a low ranked demon beast called Lesser Troll.

“Well, I expected something to come out soon. Even though we are near to a city, a demon beast will still appear.”

There were three lesser trolls and each have clubs in their hands, their eyes were full of hostility.

“For the time being, I should do something about these demon beasts before they could do something bad."　

"I agree. Should I help you?”

Rinne says while generating lighting on her palm, however—

“No, I’ll do it. This is also a great chance to check my body and magic condition.”

With that in mind, I step forward and readied my staff. The magic I’m going to use is a basic magic of a Prophet which I’ve commonly used several times in Other World.　

『Lend me your power through my words—【Blazing Spear】』

The instant I chanted those words, spears of fire shoots from my staff and pierced the three Lesser Trolls. Blazing spears jostle into the three trolls at high speed.

“—Guu!”

By the time the lesser trolls opened their eyes in surprise, their whole body was already covered with fire and just like that, their body limped down the ground

“Eisen-sensei’s 『Prophet』 magic is as wonderful as ever! ”

Rinne cried in delight after I invoked a magic. To invoke magic by using words with magic powers and direct it to the object—that’s one of the skills of a Prophet. That’s also why one of my acquaintance refers me as an invoker variant. While drowning in my own thoughts, I looked back to the charred bodies of the three Lesser Trolls.

“Good, I’ve been using it a lot in the Other World so I’m glad I could use it here as well.”

The natural feeling of invoking the magic doesn’t seem to differ from the Other World nor in the Human World. However—

“The fire is still burning. "　

"Well, that’s to be expected since the Blazing Spear is about twice as large as it was in Other World.”

“It might be the effect of the Magic Amplifier.”

Even in the Other World, the word 『Blaze』 wouldn’t have the capacity to quickly burn the demon beasts. Magic Amplifier is a common reinforcement but it sure is pretty effective.

While pondering about the lesser troll, I saw in the center of his dark, burnt body a gleaming gray stone. It’s a magic stone. When a demon beast dies, a magic stone can be obtained from its corpse. There are many uses for magic stones, so it’s worth collecting them. And so, I picked up the magic stone since I can exchange them for some cash or magic tools later on.

“Now that we have solved the problem, shall we continue our walk to the city? Let’s take a closer look at the Pioneer City.”

“Yes, Eisen-sensei!”

Having recovered a part of my power although it was just a waypoint as we continue to the direction of the Pioneer City, I walked while enjoying and savoring the fresh air of the Human World.
