Reborn as God: The strongest system

"No, stop." Esdras stopped himself in time because although he went a fair distance away he felt several eyes glancing at him from time to time.

After all, he survived unexpectedly despite all expectations. Esdras wanted to keep a low profile before he understood the situation he was in completely.

He did get the previous Esdras's memories but he had a hard time coping with his new reality. To him, just a moment ago he was a normal man on Earth.

Not only that, if these memories were true the he was in a very dangerous situation right now. He was in the middle of an active war zone and he was even participating in it.

Suddenly out of the crowded carriages that encircled the camp there were many soldiers in medieval armor, through that mess a girl came running over to him.

She had long purple robes that could not hide the curves of her body.it was even more enchanting as the robes failed to conceal them.

Her light purple hair was let down like a waterfall, her beautiful face and amber eyes showed a very worried expression.

"E-Esdras, oh, thank god," she panted once she stopped very close to him, "let me take a look at you. T-the wound must still be hurting."

She tried to reach out and check up on his head injury but Esdras quickly backed away and raised his hands.

"It's fine, Celine. It's really not as bad as it seemed. I will just put on some bandages."

Esdras definitely could not allow anyone to take a closer look at his 'wounded' head.

In the carriage the other three only saw the dried blood and couldn't take a closer look.

If people found out that an injury like that healed completely in such a short amount of time he would be placed under suspicions of black magic.

In this world clerics could not cast healing miracles like they did in games and other media. There were no healing potions or such, the only kind of potion that existed was a Mana restoring potion.

At least this is what he knew from the previous owner of the body.

"Th-that Robert, he went out of line!" Celine clenched her fists and pouted her lips looking very upset, "I will tell senior Ron to punish him."

"It's fine, I challenged him to a spar anyway. And fortunately I didn't die so he technically didn't break the rules. Let's just forget about it alright?"

"But, he can't get away with it…" Celine was still indignant, "you, this happened to you because of me. If the head maid was here she would have scolded me."

Yes, the previous owner of the body challenged Robert because he was openly flirting and harassing Celine which was an insult to Esdras.

Celine was Esdras's personal maid before she was a fellow apprentice and she was the only person who followed Esdras to the mage tower when he was sent off five years ago.

When his magic talent was discovered when he was eleven, his uncle did everything in his power to enlist him in a mage tower.

But what no one expected was that, when Celine was tested in the mage tower her talent was discovered too, and she had a tremendous talent too.

Unlike Esdras who was barely qualified, no, even that was an understatement, his talent was trash. This is why even after five years of study he was still a level one apprentice.

Celine was level four, and she studied for only three years because no one thought about testing her talent as she was just a maid.

However as soon as she was discovered she shot through the ranks and now she was on the brink of becoming a true mage.

"I'm going to the tent I feel tired," Esdras wanted to be left alone so he can sort through all of this and make a plan to move on.

"Wait, at least take some food. You need to eat something." Celine said as she looked at him leaving.

"I'll get something later." With that Esdras scurried away. He was bothered by her but he understood her relationship with the previous Esdras.

In fact she stopped calling him master only after his instance but she still couldn't get out of the habit of acting like a maid.

Which she still was technically but the old Esdras saw her more like a friend than a maid.

Esdras realized that he didn't have his tent set up so he called two of the soldiers to do it for him. They did so without complaint.

After all, he may be the lowest of the mages but he was still a step above regular people.

Within the tent Esdras took out a white shirt, tore it apart and made it into a make shift bandage. He then tied it around his head firmly.

He needed to cover it up, at least for the next few days.

That Robert, he certainly didn't do this by accident. He first provoked Esdras by openly harassing Celine and then injured him badly without killing him right away.

Killing between fellow apprentices was prohibited, but it was Esdras who challenged Robert and he didn't even die during the spar. It was obviously well planned.

If Robert killed him during the spar he would have to face a fate worse than death by senior Ron, a true mage. So the plan was done to avoid any responsibility.

After he was injured he was left alone in a moving carriage, because no one wanted to step on shit. They did not even send for a physician to see him.

Heh heh! How scheming! "Fine! No matter what, since I have taken over your body, if I have the chance, I will take revenge for you!"

After that he called 'status' in his mind. Before he completed the assimilation with the divine shard he wanted to see the previous Esdras's stats.
