Just as Rob and the rest were about to set off for the east side of the city, someone stopped them. To be more precise, it was Lolo.
It was a young man with short black hair and brown pupils. There seemed to be a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth all the time, but it wasn't an annoying smile. It was neither abrupt nor frivolous. Instead, it gave off a friendly vibe.
"Hi, young lady with the holy sword. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kasby, and I'm a freshman in the magic faculty just like you. In fact, we've met several times on campus, and I've even sat behind you in class. But judging from your expression now, I don't think you remember me."
"I'm sorry. Why are you looking for me?" Lolo was in a hurry, so she went straight to the point.
"It's like this." The guy who called himself Kasby shrugged. "I found one of the four holy weapons in your hand. But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this to snatch the holy sword. In fact, I only have one request, and that is to join your team and fight that monster with you."
"You want to fight that monster too?" Lolo was puzzled. "But why didn't you express your desire when Mr. Harris asked you about it?"
Kasby smiled bitterly. "Not every mage is as skilled as you are. I'm a mage, so even if I have the holy sword, I don't know how to use it. As for the others in my team, they aren't interested in fighting that monster, so I can only join your team temporarily."
Kasby sounded so confident that nobody could find fault with him. However, Luo Luo still rejected him. "I'm sorry. We already have a mage in our team."
"Rookie Hero" was referring to Jenny. Although the girl looked weak, Luo Bu and Luo Luo had seen how she looked when she went berserk. On the other hand, this guy named Kasby was also a freshman, but he was a complete passerby in the school. No one had heard of him before, and he had no sense of existence at all. It was hard to expect such a guy to be of any use in a battle.
"There's no limit to the number of people who can fight the monster. It's not a bad thing to have one more person, is it?" Kasby didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. He was still working hard to promote himself. He patted his chest and said, "Believe me, I will definitely come in handy at the critical moment."
His smile was full of sunshine, but Lolo had already picked up her backpack. Gage patted the latter's shoulder sympathetically. "To be honest, what you said just now is the most unconvincing declaration I've ever heard."
Kasby stood there awkwardly. However, when Luo Luo walked past him, he leaned over to the girl's ear and whispered something that only the two of them could hear. Luo Luo's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, she changed her mind and said to him, "You have five minutes to pack your luggage. After five minutes, whether you're done or not, we'll set off."
Kasby was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, "No problem, no problem." After saying that, he ran away to prepare some rations and supplies.
Therefore, when everyone set off again, there was another odd-looking fellow in the group. After half a magic hour, Luo Luo and the others finally understood why his teammates were so relieved when he left his original team. It was because this fellow named Kasby was too long-winded. He was an out-and-out chatterbox!
Ever since he joined the team, he had never stopped talking. He didn't have the slightest bit of restraint when he first entered a new environment. As long as someone spoke to him, he would chatter excitedly for the whole day. However, this guy seemed to be very knowledgeable. From astronomy to geography, to history and literature, there was nothing he didn't know. At the end, he even took the time to analyze the monster in the freshmen arena. He was able to deduce a lot of useful information from the limited clues.
However, the others in the team didn't seem to have much of a reaction to his knowledge. Only Genji praised him, and it seemed like it was mostly out of politeness.
It was Kasby's first time encountering such a situation. The reason why his original team had agreed to let him join them was that his extensive knowledge could help the team deal with various unexpected situations and make the most correct decision at critical moments. That was why the others in the team were willing to put up with his chatterbox all the way.
And he really enjoyed the role of a useless military adviser who could break the legs of others just by moving his mouth. His chatterbox was not so serious that he would die if he did not speak for a minute. The reason why he did this was actually to use this method to show off his abilities and obtain a position in the team that belonged to him. But this time, he realized that he did not seem to understand what was going on.
After witnessing Robb's terrifying store of knowledge, nobody cared what Kasby was talking about anymore. Except for Jenny, who was still polite, the others all wore an expression that said, "What? Can I go up and stab him with my sword if he keeps talking nonsense?"
Kasby realized that he seemed to have lost his role in this team. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. He wanted to ask someone, but everyone seemed to be a little annoyed by him. In the end, it was the guy in the team who didn't speak much who seemed to be the easiest to talk to. So, Kasby decided to get close to him. However, the first thing the guy said almost scared him to the point that he fell to the ground.
"What's your relationship with the Grady family of Parrot Point?"
"What Parrot Point? What Grady family? Why have I never heard of them?! " Like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, Kasby jumped up from the ground. After that, he realized that his performance was a little too exaggerated. "Erm … How do you know about the Grady family of Parrot Point?"
"The Grady family isn't famous in the south now, but they used to be a famous family with a long history in the north. When the Lyhart family rose to power, they chose the wrong side. When the Lionheart Empire was established, they had to abandon their power in the north for hundreds of years and flee to the Free city-state. After losing their territory in Parrot Point, the Grady family has been in decline for the past 200 years. Many nobles in the south don't even know of their existence."
"But they used to stand at the top of the human world. Even though they have been living off their roots all these years, there are still a few noteworthy people among them. However, because the Lyhart family is at the top of the human world, most of the people in the Grady family are relatively low-key. But that doesn't mean they have given up on the dream of reviving their family. No matter how great a dynasty is, the curtains will fall one day. So, they curled up their claws and teeth in the south, quietly waiting for the empire to decline. They believe that one day, the Grady family will return to the stage of history. Oh, by the way," Rob paused. "The reason why the Grady family fled to the south is because of their outstanding appearance. Both men and women have long dark blue hair. I just noticed that your hair seems to have been dyed, but the color has faded a little. I don't think you usually make such a low-level mistake, but since something like this happened in the freshmen arena, you probably don't have the mood to deal with these details."
