The Witch Hunter System

The commotion outside marked the beginning of the enlistment process. There was some time from then until the enlistment competition began.

”Dahli, I have a very important task to entrust to you, ” Vaan mentioned while hugging Dahlia ’s head close to his chest before he asked, ”Do you think you can do it for me? ”

”Anything for you, Vahn. If it ’s something I can do, I will do it, ” Dahlia firmly replied after a brief pause.

”Anything? Even though I haven ’t told you what I needed you to do for me? ” Vaan further inquired with a calm smile.

”You said it was something very important to you, Vahn. In that case, I will definitely do it even if it might put my life in danger, ” Dahlia said with determination.

”You have done so much for someone like me, Vahn. Since you came to me, the library has never been messy, even if it ’s only been a few days. All of my problems were solved one by one, and my magic circle has grown at an alarming speed. ”

”I can feel that I am getting close to becoming a Mid-stage Senior Witch, even though it hasn ’t been long since I ’ve risen to the ranks of Senior Witches. I ’ve always felt indebted to you these past few days. I ’m glad you finally gave me an opportunity to repay you, ” Dahlia stated.

”I see. So I mean that much to you, Dahli, ” Vaan calmly uttered with a slight smile despite knowing full well about her feelings. ”However, it ’s nothing serious as risking your life for me. I need you to cover for me. Pretend I ’ve been with you the whole time and turn away anyone looking for me. ”

”Just that? That is definitely something I can do, ” Dahlia agreed first before she asked with surprise, ”But what are you planning to do, Vahn? ”

”I will be joining the punitive expedition to the Red Goblin Mountains under a different identity since there is no way Lord Helia will allow me to join, given my importance. ”

”What? But that ’s too dangerous! You can ’t go, Vahn. ”

Without surprise, Dahlia quickly expressed her strong objection to Vaan joining the punitive expedition.

However, Vaan persuaded her with his eloquent tongue, reassuring her that it was not as dangerous as she thought. With the Grand Inquisitor, Headmaster Astoria, and Lord Helia being part of the expedition, not to mention hundreds of troops, the danger was relatively small and controllable.
