29 Chapter 29 - Stat scores (2/2)

From the souring mood of the tavern's singles, Kenji guessed this was the man she was dating at the moment.

Up there on the second floor, Kenji could just breathe easier. There was a nice bar, beautiful men and women, fine equipment and trophies on the walls. More importantly, he could peer down at all the first-floor commoners, and it made him feel as if he had finally made it.

”Please hurry, we don't want to disrupt the senior adventurers. They don't like juniors being around if they can help it-”

”Hey! Green beans, getting your cards checked?” Boomed a huge bear humanoid.

”Ah, yes.” Kenji smiled up at the bear and admired how it's armour had little pictures of bears and paws on it. Slung down the bear man's back was a large iron morningstar.

”Mr Grawg, these adventurers were just passing through,” the counter girl said with a forced smile as the bear-man pulled her into his side.

”And yet here they dawdle, enjoying the clean air while they muddle it with their inferiority. You can enjoy the second-floor newbies once you've earned it! So stop gawking, and get moving!”

”Mind letting her go,” Kenji hissed and Violet raised her nose. Tenko meanwhile went straight for the butt, biting deeply through his fur and into his exposed behind.

”YOW!” the Bearman cried, rubbing his butt ruefully as he peered around for the culprit. Yet small and swift, Tenko dodged his sight to reappear by Kenji's side. Before Mr Grawg could realise what had happened, the counter girl had pushed them into a back room guarded by a pair of stone elementals shaped to appear like huge geese.

”Just through here, please. We'll begin shortly,” entering an alchemy lab, Kenji was met by the sight of bubbling potions, books chained to the walls, arcane equipment sprawled across several pieces of furniture and a fireplace filled with a bright blue flame.

An adjoining door opened, and in through came the dashing Almanac.

”Welcome! You want your adventurer cards right? We'll let's get started~” Almanac said with such a bright smile and shining charisma that Kenji almost didn't notice his eyes.

Eyes filled with a piercing terror.
