Versatile: Alternate World

I didn't question Almira about what she showed today. After all, I already know about her that she is strong enough to fight bare-handed. But it was still very amazing that she managed to do that against an elf without even using a weapon and just flicking it off. As a token of apology for Cassius's actions, the Elder allowed us to go back without being held back by him.

"Are you not going to ask me why I managed to do that despite being a blacksmith?" Almira asked.

"Are you going to tell me why then?"

"No."

"Then why would I ask? It's your choice whether you want to say it to me or not. If you are not ready to tell me why you are this strong then I have no intention of asking for it."

"That's good. There is no need for me to dig up something in my past and share it with someone. If you want to know, then wait for it for me to tell you all about it but until then, I will not say anything."

I nodded in response. Although I have seen her prowess in the past timeline, I am indeed in the dark on her past. She was very strong and she knows how to use all kinds of weapons at her disposal. It was like she is also a Versatile Class but it was unclear whether she is one or not. She is very strong and if I compare her with Queen Tanya, I will say it might become a stalemate or maybe Queen Tanya might lose since all I see in Almira's battle style is just using basic attacks and it shows much that her attacks are already overwhelmingly powerful. What if she uses some skills too?

Still, I suspect that there is something in the past that Almira didn't want to dig back up as she is reluctant to say it. Even when in the past timeline where I managed to raise her affection level to me in a maximum, she never said anything and just remained quiet on her past. That is all that I managed to dig up from her and other than that, nothing much. No doubt it must be something she wanted to forget. I sent her back to her smithy after we arrived at the Capital.

"Once the quest for the raid comes in, don't forget about me or I will make sure you will suffer if you forget about me."

"Of course. I will make sure Queen Tori will know about you."

She nodded in response before she closed the door. I went back to my mansion and logged back out after that to rest. It was a tiresome day and I needed to sleep after doing lots of repairs to the Sealer of Gods. Besides, it's already pretty late at night in the real world. I would need to go to sleep too,

...

The next morning, I received a call from the school. Apparently, after the events that transpired with the hostage-taking, the school decided to do a rehabilitation check-up for all students to attend to in case someone might have developed PTSD from what happened. After receiving the call, I received a call from Riko as well and we discussed a bit about the event that the school decided to do to avoid any kind of illness activating due to the traumatic experience all people have experienced during that event.

Perhaps the teachers are being forced by some parents for them to hold this event as compensation for the poor management of the school. The check-up will occur tomorrow morning. I told Janus about it and he said that he didn't want to do attend as he was trying to grind some levels, but since it was a mandatory event, he has no choice but to attend it.

As for me, I don't even mind about it as it is necessary. Might as well ask if there is something wrong with my body. It's a free checkup after all.

Today, I only decided to let my followers go to the Shrine of Ascension and let the Entity of the Shrine do her thing. Everyone did manage to get their class up since the trials are much easier compared to the trial that Lina and I have to do. Their trials are much easier and they easily cleared it on solo.

With their class up done, Tina became the Insect Queen after her class up. Atlas became a Dominator of Darkness, Lucia became the Elemental Princess and as for Leona, she is still a gryphon due to the beast not being able to do the same class ups as humans or other races. Gobu became the Elemental Master. As for the wolves, just like Leona, they only managed to get a rank up but they became stronger as a result too.

After that, we went to do some small hunting. It was not really a large-scale dungeon clearing as we are just collecting easy-to-collect materials. Besides, the reason I did bring them is for them to familiarize their new powers after ranking up. That way, they can be capable of unleashing their powers in the future too especially in the Frozen Desert where the monsters are much more dangerous than ever. Having them capable to master all the skills and new abilities they received, the better our advantage in the near future.

...

And the day of the check-up arrived.

Janus and I, along with the siblings for the checkup. Despite the siblings not being able to experience the terror of the hostage-taking, it is still necessary for them to attend in case.

"Man, I shouldn't have gone through this if not for the fact that this is mandatory, I still wanted to fight some monsters along with Riko and the others but damn it..."

"You can't do anything about it, it was a necessary thing for us."

"Gah... what about you guys? Are you bummed out that we have to do this too?" Janus asked the siblings.

"Nah, it is good to do some check-ups too once in a while. It allows us to know whether we are sick or not."

Sora nodded as approval to her brother's opinion.

Just as we are about to go to the venue where the free check-up is happening, I saw someone else who I am not expecting to see here.

"Oh, Manato. What a coincidence!"

The other people I have not expect to see are none other than Pandora who is smiling at us and Suhei who is currently holding the wheelchair of Pandora.
