Chronicles of luminous Star

Road Trip to The Great Fire Tower

There is a bus on a road, it is heading west from the Great City of Seiga to the Great Fire Tower, a man a woman and a family can be seen on the window and there they are, the student of Seiga Academy and most likely wearing a different clothes than usual, there is Yumiki, Nia, Gary, Masaya, Rona, Roni, Bunja, and Akane?! Who invited her?

Well they are having fun in the bus maybe they never been on the country side but Gary is even more happy, to be the only boy invited look at his eyes lurking with joy by the fashion the ladies brought, well a boy can have fun on the bus can they?

They arrived at the front gates of Api a flourish city that take use of its topnotch Blacksmiths, entirely they are the very rare minerals tools and weapons in the international exports, and hey senou was seen with one of the guards near the gate

They all force the bus to stop at the gate and quickly left it, senou is finish with their mission passes so all the student is here for mission only, no shopping no sightseeing and no flirting that goes for Gary toot the first thing to do is to find a suitable inn but before that maybe we should visit the mayor

Well let's go to the mayor of this city the guy is actually a friend of the current president of Seiga, he is the one who make this city flourishes like this, a better Mineral Tax the renovation of the city's water pipeline and a tourist attraction which is a statue of the founder of this city sculpt with the dragon's gem, it is quite expensive and this is the only excuse for tourist to come here look some of them already take selfies including senou's students

Well senou is going to leave them all anyways, a few moments later senou meets the mayor of the city he is a dwarf with the blood same as the founder, this guy knew seiga for a long 40 years but he could only in this seat for the next year because of the democracy system he inherits to the town just like seiga in here a mayor maybe change every 10 years for him it's roughly enough to change this whole city, the mayor leaves his regard to senou and for him to take a safe journey through the tower

Well that settles it, time to regroup with the others, and it seems they found an inn, what is this "Hard-Boiled Family Inn" somehow it was ripped off from something, all in all he likes it because it's simple and rustic, he found akane talking to the owner, hmm why are they so friendly to each other? did the owner just hug her? She seems pretty old could it be?

Yes as senou thought she was akane's mother she looked really experienced as an inn keeper but is akane's family supposed to be a royal family who serves the albatross family, how could this energetic and simple woman could be so royal, well senou said hi but suddenly the inn keeper changes into royalty mode

She is very grateful for senou to take care of her as a teacher and akane is really embarrassed for having his mother salute a mere teacher, she kept telling her mother that senou is just a mere commoner who is just playing to be the hero and always make Yumiki suffers in his teachings she even suspect him for doing something lewd, then her mother shuts her mouth and hug her tight while apologize for her daughter's behavior, don't worry insults isn't going to work against him anyway

The inn keeper invites senou inside for lunch with everyone including the students and there he is the head of "the Feather" royal family, Khan Feather also known as the Burn-Blooded Swordsmen, senou seats with him and enjoy for a little talk with him, he is thankful to senou for taking care of his sweet daughter, and senou asks why did the great Khan worked at the inn, well is because of this city system the royalty and the commons is equal and his wife is always dreamed to open an inn

It seems to be a happy story and the lunch was great, senou see akane doing chores for once is there a problem, well she is obsessed with her royalty status ever since he work for the albatross so because there is no real threats the father left her to do whatever she wants, but it's okay for her to do chores once in a while especially with her mother, well if she is with yumiki it's all good

Well senou tells everyone to quickly pack your things and meet him in front of the tower and only then they can enter it and start the mission, oh yea senou asks Khan if there is some strange movements around, well the tower is quite silent actually so it quite strange other than that there is none hmm interesting

Moments later in the dungeon tower there are less monsters then it used to be nia asks if senou has been here before, well senou has done intense training for controlling and learning fire magic, she impressed that senou could learn many elements well it was like 12 years ago when he start learning that and everyone is surprised, rona and roni asks since when senou started training well it was a long time so he got to say it was when he was little

Akane is annoyed that senou got all this attention but yumiki calms her down and bunja tries to cheer her up, when they reach the 4th floor they found what it appears to be a sign that tells that the path was divided if they went north they will find a village and if they went west there is a stairs that leads to the elite chamber, an elite chamber is what you could say a room for mid bosses, lets visits the village first

Wow for a small primitive village it functions quite well, in this hot environment they could grow Fire Peppers, Cabbages and there is a Cattle for milk and beef, when they entered the gate the village chief welcomes them with gratitude, senou tells them all to help out a little milk the cattle harvest crops anything because will move to the upper levels after dinner

They all working hard to help out the village a good fun hard work is what adventurers do even with no monster killing involved helping is what they normally do even senou having fun cheering the children, and provide clean water for the villagers, but after that fun moments senou sense something powerful coming from the south west of the village, he quickly warn the villagers to get cover, the yumiki and nia running to senou and tell him that akane is right outside for guard and she is alone in the moment

What is she thinking she alone can't possibly defend the village, senou tells yumiki to help the villagers take cover while nia and the others will enter the battle, it's time to show what Class 0 can do!
