But God Forced Me to Reincarnate!

Crisis During Vacation (3)

"Aaaargh, too slow!"

Cassie suddenly signaled the driver to stop.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Cassie jumped down and started to run.

"Eh, Ophelia-sama, what are you—?"

Meredea was very surprised by her superior's abrupt decision and rash behavior, but she decided to jump down and follow her.

"Ophelia-sama, I think going by the carriage is still faster—," Meredea was actually surprised that her superior would shutdown her thinking system in time of panic. It's not like the superior she knows and admires.

Just as Meredea was about to catch up to Cassie, suddenly Cassie shouted.

"O Magical Beast that has— tch, too long! I summon thee, [Hippogriff]!"

"W-w-w-what?!"

Upon hearing Cassie's chant, Meredea was astonished. Astonished by the fact that Cassie would suddenly chant a summoning spell out of the blue.

So, this is why she ran out of the carriage?!

But she was more astonished by Cassie's line of words.

--tch, too long!

...Just... wow.

Of course, almost every magician is more used to utter the long version of the chant rather than the shortened version of it. Using a shortened chant—and Nonspraec chant... is way too mana consuming and too tiring! Even more so for a high level spell such as summoning spell! That is why almost all magicians who can use summoning spells are used to chanting the complete version of the chant. Even Cassie is used to utter the full chant, although she prefers to use the Nonspraec incantation rather than Spraec incantation.

But cutting through the incantation midway plus flying your complain before changing it to a shortened version is something uncalled for! And that sort of behavior comes straight from the Head of Royal Magicians, one of the most powerful or influential magician in Riviera!

Meredea understands that Cassie is in a panic, yet it was still something unexpected. Even until this moment, she is still baffled by what she just witnessed.

A light green magical circle appeared in front of Cassie, shining brightly with a very strong gust of wind. Meredea covered her eyes and squinted in reflex. Soon enough, the figure of a summoned beast appeared in front of them.

The summoned beast's size is not very huge, but it is not a small beast, either. True to its name that Cassie just yelled before, its front body is that of an eagle's, while its back is that of a horse's. One pair of strong wings is there on its back, currently flapping with all its might, causing the strong wind to envelop its vicinity.

"Gwaaah!" The hippogriff growled.

Without any words, Cass quickly hopped onto the hippogriff's back and commanded it to start flying, all the way back to the inn. The two of them swiftly soared high in the sky, and...

Standing just right behind the spot where the hippogriff appeared was a lone woman. She barely recovered from the strong gust that suddenly blew up due to the summoning magic, blocking her movement and sight. In the end, she couldn't make it in time to hop on the hippogriff's back before it flew away.
