Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Chapter 172 Boss!



“What the hell is this!?”  The instructor who questioned me before suddenly yelled out. I turned to see him near the girls that were currently passed out. In front of him were Mr. Blobs and three other slimes, all guarding the girls. What was he trying to do when so many were around? Was he taking advantage of the situation when no one was looking?

“More like I should be asking you what are you doing!?” I yelled out as I appeared in front of him.

“You! I was just checking on the kids to make sure they were okay!” The instructor yelled.

“What can you do for them? You can only use some basic spells and are mostly a sword user. Let me warn you now, just a single one of my slimes can easily kill you. Do not look down on my friends.” I said coldly. I had just used appraisal on him, and he was rather weak to even be an instructor. I raised my hand and tapped the air. A magic circle formed as I spoke softly: “Stop…. Duration, two years…..”-.

This was my own little version of Adel’s spell. I noticed in the runic equation that you could actually add a time on to the spell. And well…. Now it can be used for a set amount of time instead of a short duration. Kind of like in coding when making a timer. You want to use the current time and match it to a number that you can set. A lot of times, this will have a default value, but if you wish to set the length to be longer, you only need to change the variable. In this case, I added the variable to replace the default value. But now, with him frozen there, he was in the way.

“Mr. Blobs have some of your soldiers move him to a corner someplace.” I ordered before turning around. Once again, I was being stared at with dumbfounded expressions. “What?”

“Boss is so cool!”Leo suddenly yelled out.

“Yes, Boss is the coolest!” Steven joined in. This was followed by many head nods.

But I did not understand one thing. “Why are all of you suddenly calling me boss?”

“You took out that huge orc and are in command of a massive slime army! If you are not a boss, then we do not know who could be considered one.” Brad replied, and once more, everyone nodded in agreement.

“I-I see….” I replied. I could feel my cheeks heating up. I don’t know why but when people my own age look up to me like this, it makes me feel kind of embarrassed.

“Ah! Boss is blushing!”

“Yeah, a blushing Boss is very cute.”

“Boss, do you have a boyfriend?”

Now my face was getting hotter and hotter. Before I could tell them to stop, I heard an angry shout: “Who asked if she has a boyfriend? Step out right now!”

I suddenly felt a headache coming on. I walked over and raised my hand, and chopped down on a certain golden haired girl. “Adel, bad!”

“Faith. Don’t treat me like a pet! One of these bastards asked if you had a boyfriend!” Adel cried out with an aggrieved expression as she rubbed the top of her head.

“What does it matter? Whether I do or I don’t, it doesn’t matter. You can’t just go yelling at people!” I scolded, causing Adel to lower her head. She looked so pitiful, but I had to stay strong and hold my ground. Adel really needs to calm down.

“Fine…” Adel relented but still glared at everyone once more before walking over to Sophie to probably complain about me. I can’t do much about it. Adel only listens to me right now, so if I did not stop her, no one would be able to.

Now that things were a bit calmer, I cleared my throat. “Ahem! I will say this now. In order to leave this place, we will probably need to clear the dungeon. It will be very dangerous, and I do not know how many will be able to survive. I will do my best to protect everyone, but I am not a god. But, I myself do not wish to be stuck in the dungeon. So I will be diving deeper into the dungeon whether it is dangerous or not. But I will not force anyone to come with me. If you wish to stay, I will put you under the protection of a barrier. I will not be angry. This is a choice for you to make. But I will also not sit around and wait for you to make a decision either. We have people here who need major healing that minor heals can not deal with. We can only prolong their life, but they are in great pain.

“So I will ask once. Who is staying and who is going. If you want to stay, stand behind me. Otherwise, go to where the others are.” I could easily heal all of them with a high heal, but I refuse. This was also why I did not do more to help the girls either. They were all people who looked at me with scorn and probably would have plotted against me sooner or later. I may sound like some uncaring person, but I do not care. They should be glad that I went as far as to save them in the first place.

“Boss…. You have to be joking, right?” Steven stepped forward as he spoke. “We all already decided to follow you from the start. We are not going to run away now. Since you need us, we will follow you into the unknown. If we lose our lives, that is because we were not good enough.”

“Yeah, Boss, you should listen to Steven. We will fight with you. Even if I can not offer much, I can still cast fireballs with all I have!” Hailey, the weakest of the group, said as she walked to stand behind me. This was followed by everyone else. Just knowing people are willing to follow behind me on their own free will, makes me happy.
