The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 151 - A Surprising Knock
’Key Turning!’
’Lock Opening!’
As soon as I opened the door, in front of me stood two people with weapons drawn, ready to strike at me. I look at both of them with a weird expression.
"What the hell are you two doing?"
Seeing that it was me, Alice and Jacob relaxed visibly and she said, "Oh! Master, it was you. I thought it was one of those cult members attacking the capital."
"Don’t worry about them anymore," I say closing the door, "Their leaders already dead so it wouldn’t be long before all of them gets caught or the smart one’s escapes."
"Their leaders caught, then!" Jacob said.
"No, he’s dead."
"How do you know that?"
"I was there when he was killed."
"Ooo… Weren’t you supposed to be in the stadium for your competition? Yeah, about that, what happened? Did you win or was the competition got stopped because of the attack?" Jacob asked.
I smile. "It’s reassuring to know that you think I will either win or the competition will get stopped by external reasons."
"Well… it’s not like you would have the face to come back here after losing, right? I mean, you would have to be extremely thick skinned enough to be able to do that."
My smile quickly washes away from me, "Yeah, forget about what I said about reassuring. It’s concerning how your mindset revolves."
"I don’t care, just tell us what happened in the competition?"
"Yes, master. I would very much like to hear how you demolished the other contenders." Alice sat on a chair while concentrating on me.
"Well, the final results are that I won."
"Good!" Jacob nods.
"YES! Just as I had expected from you, master. I knew that you would be able to defeat everyone and become the sole winner." Alice said as she smiled immensely.
"Yeah… I’m not the only one that ’won’ the competition, actually." My words immediately incited weird expression on both of them.
"Meaning?"
I sigh, "Alright, this is going to take a second to understand so listen." And I told them everything.
The competitions start, Cravic crashing it, Me crashing Cravic down on the ground, Cravic going through his second phase and finally, Cravic being destroyed by a huge black ball.
To say they were shocked would be an understatement.
"And that’s it."
Even as I finish recalling the events, both Alice and Jacob looked at me with their mouth so wide that a rat would find it comfortable to move in.
"…seriously?" Jacob asked.
"Seriously." I nod.
Finally, after some time, Alice and Jacob close their mouths as one contemplated my words deeply and another sighed as he said, "Man, you have the worst luck I’ve seen."
"Pardon?" I ask, not understanding what he meant.
"You don’t see it do you?" Jacob said and turned to Alice, "You see what I’m talking about right?"
Alice nodded like a professional therapist, "Yes… it’s painfully clear that you are being looked upon by a great shadow, master."
"Okay, that’s even more vague."
"Not, what I was going with but sure, vague works." Jacob nodded and looked back at me, "What we’re trying to understand is, you’re somewhat of a… unlucky human."
"?"
"You kinda have a habit of calling in bad luck with your actions."

"There have been some things about the story you told us that concerns us."
"It wasn’t a story but elaborate."
"I’ll give you some examples and you tell me." Jacob said while recalling, "On the second exam, the proctor you went to didn’t turn out to be what you thought and instead he was a jackass, right?" I nod.
"Then after you easily beat the guy someone strong intercepted you." Jacob said waiting for some confirmation.
"Yes and?"
He furrowed his brows, "Alright you don’t understand then, I’ll give you another example."
"In the competition, you had initially chosen to sit down and wait for the fight to end but someone disturbed you."
"Yeah, but it was a competition, it would be foolish for him to not attack me."
"That’s true… The guy called you out and you defeated him in a very flashy way, in which you though that you make yourself the strong guy that everyone would fear, right?" Jacob asked and before I could say anything he said, "But that clearly didn’t happen."
"You were the one who got fucked instead."
"Language!" Alice warned him.
"Hey, just trying to make a point here." Jacob said and turned to me again, "Alright, back to the thought. You ’Angered’ the others instead, right?"
It was turning a bit disturbing now that I think about where he was going with this but I let on, "Instead the guy you fought could have just attacked you while you were sleeping and ended it there, right?"
"Yeah, but some people can be extremely stupid."
"Yes, but you get my point right? That you have a way of calling in bad luck on you?"
I think carefully to what he’s saying. He wasn’t particularly wrong; I sometimes do things that might seem like bad luck or even downright calling calamity on myself.
For example, killing the ’traitors’ that had decided to betray for their lives. Truth be told, I had done that in a motion to piss off the big guy above. I probably didn’t care about what will happen if I had done that…
Hah… I see, it isn’t bad luck, it’s just me being me!
"Knock!" "Knock!"
The sound of someone knocking on the door came as I looked at the two, "Did you call for someone?" They both shook their heads.
"Hmm, I didn’t call for anyone too and I don’t have any business in the capital for anyone to come here." I murmur before going closer to the door.
"Who is it?"
From behind the door a soft but strong voice said, "It’s me, Samantha."
"Samantha Religias?" I called in shock. I hadn’t expected that she would come here.
Just like me, Jacob too had a shocked look while Alice had a curious one.
"Y- Yeah, that’s me. Can you open the door; I want to talk with you."
"Okay, wait a second." I said while signaling to the two to hid quickly. But as they tried to hide, Alice accidentally hit a steel bowl and it fell on the ground, causing noise."
"Henry, are you okay in there?"
"Yeah… just wearing my clothes here." I say while whispering the apologetic Alice to quickly hide.
"WHAT!... O- O- Oh! Alright then, take as long as you want!" Came out her flustered voice.
Both Alice and Jacob hide in different places as I take care of the bowl and go to the door. Before opening it I stop a moment and ruffle my clothes a bit and then opened it.
Standing right outside was the beautiful semi-warrior Samantha. With her White hair and blue eyes complimenting her clothes of the similar color.
"Hey Henry." She said, her voice a bit croaked. Probably because of the situation about us.
"Samantha." I move away from the door as she comes in.
"I hope I’m not interrupting you with anything."
"No, just looking at my injuries." I say while signaling her to sit.
"You must have gotten hurt badly back there." Samantha said and smiled, "And congratulations on the win."
I smile briefly and nod, "Thank you… I suppose you heard it from Arthur." She nods, "So you also know about what I did with those ’traitors’, right?"
Samantha had a difficult expression as she said, "Yes, I do… but it’s not my place to talk about that when I don’t understand the conditions you had faced."
"Oh! So you don’t agree with him?" This was a bit of a surprise.
"No, I don’t. But that’s not why I’m here."
"Henry… we have a problem."
