2 My First Town in a New World! (1/2)
Danielle experimented more with her new light magic while she traveled towards the town. Her body was surrounded in a bright white light that would make anyone watching her want to turn away or face being blinded by the amount of magical power used to create the spell. Her appearance changed. Instead of the short pink Majin, she was now back to her old appearance from her old world.
”While I don't hate how I looked before, looking like my cool new awesome self will cause a load of trouble I don't want to make yet. Once I find out a little more about this world, I'll be free to do whatever I want. It would be terrible if there was some type of weird ass magic in this world that could contain a Majin and I was caught being ignorant.” Danielle talked aloud to herself.
She was getting closer and closer to town and the biome changed from desert to forest!
”What strange magical laws allow a desert to border a forest… I hope some old lonely wizard knows, so I can absorb all his knowledge in the future.”
She soon reached the entrance of the town and saw some more humans.
”Time to make my mark on this tiny little town before moving on to the big city with the king and nobles and princesses and princes and powerhouses of this world! First things first! Becoming an adventurer.” She exclaimed.
Danielle looked down at her ordinary appearance and after checking everything with the light spell, she walked into the town with an excited grin on her face. She took in the fresh clean air and nearly started gagging at the smoke engulfing her lungs. Some hardy and hairy men who were standing outside a bar, laughed at her. She rearranged herself and headed over to the men.
”Excuse me. Do you know where I can find the place to become an adventurer?” She asked politely.
The men broke out laughing again and Danielle's patience was already lowering by the second.
”What does a little girl like you need to become an adventurer for?”
”Yeah, you should be at home planting flowers and helping your mother cook.”
”Or you could come home with me and I'll tell you where it is after a night of fun.”
They continued to tease and joke around until Danielle had enough. She walked up to the first man and uppercutted him in the jaw. He was knocked back into the bar behind the men and lost consciousness. Danielle saw the two leave behind their friend and run away.
”Tch. Cowards. Running away at the first sign of danger.. I better leave before someone tries to investigate this.” Danielle dashed away and changed her appearance again.
After laying low for a couple of hours and trying to gain any information about this world or something related to it, she spotted a four-man group of people entering a building and leaving. She guessed that the building that had a sword and shield emblem above it was the building to become an adventurer. She jumped out from the alleyway and landed in front of the building and walked inside. The inside of the building was pretty cozy. It had a warm air flowing about and nice ambiance. There were many different types of people inside and Danielle got excited at their interesting looks.
There was a dwarf-like man carrying a shield on his back. A long pointy-eared lady with a sword on her back. There was even a centaur carrying a bow and arrow inside the building! Danielle's eyes were shining like a star as she absentmindedly walked up to the counter. Behind the counter, was a female dwarf or a halfling with a serious look on her face. Danielle smiled excitedly in her normal unassuming teenaged girl appearance.
”I would like to become an adventurer please.” Danielle stated.
”That's 5 silver.” The receptionist said dryly.
”Uh…. What if I happened to not have any money on me?” Danielle said embarrassed.
The receptionist sighed.
”Another witless child trying to get a life of treasure, fame, and power… Please leave before I call the guards.”
”Wait! I'm not a troublemaker! I just want to become an adventurer and have a lot of fun!”
Two heavily armored men arrived at the counter and surrounded Danielle.
”Come back when you have 5 silver kid.” The guards tried to escort Danielle out the building.
”Wait! Stop pushing me! Hey where are you touching bastard!?” Danielle slugged one of the armored guards in the face and knocked him away. The second guard took out his sword and slashed downward at Danielle.
”I only punched the guy! You don't need to try and kill me over it!” Danielle shouted at the unreasonable guard.
She dodged the sword attack and headbutted the armored guard away. She could tell her attack did some damage due to the guard holding his head after sliding back.
”I don't want to be apart of your dirty money-grubbing adventurer club anyway! This discrimination on poor people is disgusting and should be outlawed!” Danielle yelled righteously before attempting to dash out of the building.
”HALT!!!” A powerful voice filled with magic shouted. Danielle was thinking about continuing to run away, but thought about what if this person was her golden ticket to the bigger stage? She nearly giggled out loud after realizing she hasn't even entered the first stage.
A young good looking, fancy-dressed boy came down from the stairs along with a young busty Ojou-sama and an old wizardy dressed man.
”Uh. Listen I'm fine with not being an adventurer anymore. I'll be on my way now.” Danielle said while slowing walking towards the door. The old man waved his hand and a wall of fire appeared, blocking the entrance.
”Tch. This place has really fallen so far.. Even a Demon could sneak into without any trouble.” The old man said.
Throwing the building into chaos and shock. The uniformed boy and girl were also shocked.
”It must be a highly skilled demon to be able to trick our eyes..” The handsome boy stated.
”No. It's a very young demon. Probably hasn't been alive for more than 20 years.”
Danielle thought about her options here. She couldn't sense energy or mana but she knew for a fact that the old man on top of those stairs was a strong mage. She wasn't worried for her life but for her adventurous soul! She would be forever on the run from strong and powerful adventurers looking to fight and end her. And possible loot her body like some type of enemy from a game! Now that she thought more about it she was kind of getting excited at the thrilling and dangerous hypothetical cat and mouse game going on in her head.
Her light magic wore off and she returned to her pink Majin form, drooling while lost in thought. The young lady atop the stairs looked at her in amusement and this knocked some sense into her. She wiped her lips and put her hands on her hip in a sort of superhero pose. But not before covering her chest with a rag from a nearby table.
”Talk humans! All I wanted to do was play around as an adventurer for a while but you scummy humans couldn't even let me have that. If you refuse to let me part here expect this entire establishment to turn into dust.” Danielle acted.
”Quiet you mutant. I have no idea how you could possibly use Light magic but as one of the kingdom's elite mages, I will purge you myself.” He said haughtily.
”A being such as myself is anything but such a crude word! I am----” Danielle cut herself off before blushing bright red.
”This is really embarrassing man.. Aren't you ashamed talking this way? I was playing along with you until the cringe got too much for me.” Danielle returned to her normal manner of talking and posture. She noticed to look of embarrassment on the elderly mage and guessed this is the part where he blows up and loses his top.
”You!! You!! Filthy Demon! Die!” He pointed his staff at Danielle and fired a stream of fire at her.
Danielle let herself get blasted out of the building and into the open street.
”Hmph. She was nothing much.” She heard the old jerkwad say.
She burst from the rubble without any signs of damage on her and felt the fire magic fueling through her body. She grinned excitedly and a ball of orange fire formed in her hand. She created more and more as her excitement got the best of her and eventually started to juggle multiple fire balls.
”Fire magic!!! So cool!! I think I got all the ingredients to make the dragon ball z techniques!” She exclaimed to herself.
