The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 150 - A Lifeline
"What are you going to do now?"
"Right now? Probably go and take a look at my injuries."
"What! You were injured! Where?" Wilson said, taking a look around my body to search for it.
"Hey hey! Stop doing that out in the public… people are looking at us with those eyes, man." I said stopping the guy as other men and women were giving me a suspicious look that I never thought I would get.
Me and Wilson were on the streets walking together. He had his room on the way to where I was going so we were walking together.
"Oh! Sorry… definitely did not mean to do that." Wilson said with a strange blush as he backed away.
"Hah…" I sigh, "Forget about that, what about you?"
"Me? I would probably pack my bags and go home by nightfall."
"I was asking if you had any injuries or not actually." I said as Wilson’s had an acknowledging look, "So you’re leaving today?"
He gave a nod, "Yeah. I don’t have anything to do in the capital and staying… will cost me more money so yeah, I’m going to leave today."
"If it’s about money, then I can give you some."
"No no no, it’s not about that." Wilson said while rubbing his hands, "My family also needs me to help them in the field so I should leave soon. Besides my father is also becoming old, he can’t do much work nowadays."
I nod understandingly. I know of his family situation and ever through the Farrow family is a mid-class family bordering to debt, they never gave up on the standards they place on themselves.
Because back a time, the Farrow family had been nobles. They were great archers back then, which was the reason why they have such rules and were so stuck up.
It is only Wilson who is the friendliest guy in that whole… bloodline. He’s whole family had a stick up their ass even through their debt was quite big… which is a big reason why they aren’t a noble anymore.
"Well what will they do when they hear about your acceptance into the academy if they need you so much?" I asked as Wilson froze up at that.
I had a reason to ask such a specific question. I could have just said that they would be happy that their son got in the academy but I didn’t.

"Wilson… you didn’t tell your family that you were competing in the competition, did you."
"What!" Wilson turned to me immediately and his voice almost cracked to that of a high pitch girls, "HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT! ARE YOU A PSYCHIC!"
"If so then tell me my future, Will I get rich? Will father finally acknowledge me for my efforts and let me be free to do whatever I want and be whoever I want to be while I live my life with the comfort and joy that I dream every time." Wilson rambled.
’Ahh, shit! The guy went back to his chatter phase again.’
"WILSON!" I slammed my hand down over his shoulders and screamed out his name. My voice was so high that everyone in the street surrounding us stopped in shock and looked back at me in fear as the birds flew away.
Wilson too got his mind back as my voice broke off much of his spirit, "Ye- Yes?"
"You were rambling on again man, get a hold of yourself."
"I was… oh sorry." He said shaking himself a bit to get his mind back, "So you’re not a psychic then?"
"…Do I look like a psychic?"
"No, you don’t." He said a matter of fact before smiling remorsefully. "It won’t happen again."
"I don’t believe that but alright." I nodded as he looked at my hands.
After some time he said as we walked, "I didn’t tell them… but I’m sure that, now that I’m in, I’ll somehow be able to make them agree."
I look at his hopeful face and don’t say anything.
"I don’t mean to pry but what you used back at the stadium was a water type sigmat ring, right?"
"Yep"
"Can I…" He said before shaking his head, "No, forget about it."
"You wanna see it?" I asked and he looked at me with childlike wonder.
"Can I?"
Well, if it was anyone else who had asked me that with such a look, I would probably think of that guy as a thief or a con man but not Wilson. He was too stup- Honest to do something like that.
I bring out my ring and give it to him as he took a look at it. Wilson took a closer look before his eyes widened, "A BLUE SIGM-"
I quickly close his mouth, muffling him but he still kept on talking.
"Hgmg hggnm sjugg." Wilson said while showing me my ring with shiny eyes.
"What?"
"Hmggj uggnm ghamg!" He said again but I couldn’t understand with my hands on his mouth.
"Alright, Wilson I’ll let you go but promise not to say anything stupid or loudly, okay?" He nodded so I let him go.
"Hahh!" Immediately the guy started taking breath, "You have big hands you know." But it quickly went away as he came close and showed me the ring, "You had a pink sigmat ring too?"
"Yeah so?"
"yeah so… what do you mean ’yeah so’. Do you know how important a," He said in whispers while looking around, "a pink sigmat is?"
I do but after using it for so less and knowing that I couldn’t use it much on the public, my mind started wavering from it.
It’s not that the water ability or my usage was bad with it. It’s just that pink sigmat rings are also very rare and similar to what happened with Cravic who also had a pink sigmat, you can guess the potential my ring had.
Using it soo soon will also bring me unnecessary attention… which now that I think about it doesn’t matter anymore. After what happened with Cravic, I am probably going to be on many important character’s radars now and I might meet them at the academy.
"I do, which is why I had to stop you from broadcasting it to the world."
Wilson nodded as he gave the ring back, "If you had a pink sigmat ring then you could have just beat Cravic all alone."
I shake my head, "That’s not how it works. Even if Cravic and I have the same quality sigmat, the one with the most experience and physical abilities would win."
"In which case even though I had the physical advantage, Cravic didn’t fall far back from me and his experience was immense. The reason why I couldn’t match him in Sigmat skills."
"OH! So that’s how it works huh." Wilson said slamming his hand on his palm like a hammer, "I just thought it would be color vs color and the one with the most beautiful color would win."
…
…
"What?" Wilson said seeing me give him a long look.
"Nothing… just thinking of the future of this world."
"I don’t understand that much but I think this is where we say goodbye." Wilson pointed to the building behind him, "My rooms here."
The hotel where he was staying at was an average one. Nothing special but it wasn’t bad either.
We go inside the hotel as Wilson got his key from the receptionist.
"Alright, this is goodby-"
"Wait not yet." I said and turn to the reception, "Can you give me a pen and paper?"
The girl nodded and gave me as I start to write something on it and sign on it. Then I fold it and give it to Wilson, "Here take this."
"What’s this?"
"This is your lifeline, use it when you have no choice."
Wilson took the paper and looked curiously at it as I started to leave.
"Goodbye Wilson," I say while giving some shillings to the overjoyed receptionist, "I hope to see you again in the academy."
