Chapter 122 - 119 : Piss Off (2/2)
Lucy only did a simple introduction and didn't state where she came from or anything else. Her last name is obviously not her or Arthur's real last name but they decided on it a long time ago, even their sect has this name, it's a simple but good name that will shatter skies or shake mountains if it's heard but that is something in the long future.
”So it's miss Lucy and misses Delia, I'm very pleased to meet you. I'm also happy to see that you showed up.”
Lady Sinyu pointed at the empty sofa near the four-man team and gestured for Delia and Lucy to sit. She used a special etiquette as she stood up and performed a low bow to show her respect and politeness.
Of course, Lucy and Delia didn't just remain standing and simply sat up. When all of them sat up and relaxed, silent ruled the room for sometime before Lucy finally spoke. As for the tall burly man, he just remained standing up with his mouth wide open as he stared at Delia with yearning and hopeful eyes, he either was thinking a lewd thing or was mesmerized by her beauty and still didn't snap out of it.
”I would like to hear the details about what you proposed yesterday.”
Lady Sinyu had long since turned from anger to ecstasy when Lucy showed up and when she heard this, she became even happier.
”Does that mean that miss Lucy agrees to join my team?”
”Not after I hear the full details, then I'll think about it.”
Lady Sinyu nodded and started explaining or at least tried to explain
”If you join my team. You'll become an official hero sponsored by me, you'll get a monthly income and if you bring items from the dungeon, you'll get even more mon..”
Lucy interrupted her right away and said
”Spare me the money talk, I want to hear more about the ranks, how to rank up, how to join up the International Hero Organization.”
The old woman didn't expect to hear such a thing, she thought that Lucy wanted more money as yesterday she came selling diamonds but it didn't appear to be the case. She nodded back to Lucy resumed speaking
”Hero ranks are from E to S with E being the lowest. If you want to rank up from E-class to D-class for example, you have to either clear a floor, kill a unique boss, bring a unique magical item and so on, there is many things you could do but the most used is bringing magical items and giving them to the IHO. As for how to join the IHO, you have to pay up a fee at first then get tested by their members, your first rank is based on your Status Window.”
”Status Window?”
”It's a blue window that has numbers in it, there are specific stats for specific things and the higher the numbers, the higher the rank you'll get. There are some cases of rare or inborn skills but I've only heard rumors.”
All these things were old things for Lucy as she uses a Status Window too but is it the same as the one used here? And how can they see the Status Window of others, even in Astria there isn't something like that.
”Alright, I'll join your team.”
There is a lot of questions in her mind but it's not too urgent, Lucy wanted to rank up faster and gain fame then her questions will be answered on their own.
Lady Sinyu clapped her hands in happiness and was about to reply when Gulan repeated the same action he did earlier and shouted
”You want to join our team? Dream on! If joining professional teams like ours is as easy as saying two or three words then everyone would be a hero! To begin with, we don't even know if you have a special ability or high stats, you have to be tested first!”
Gulan launched a bombardment of words at Lucy whilst sounding unhappy with what's happening. He was surprised by their beautiful appearance but since he became a hero, he enjoyed all sorts of beautiful women, albeit them being uglier than Lucy, they were enough and for him. He didn't like the fact that a woman showed out of nowhere and was going to join his team while he suffered to become like this and reach this position.
”Gulan! Didn't I tell you to shut up? Wasn't the previous display enough for you?”
Sinyu snapped again at him but he seemed like he became deaf and kept glaring at Lucy and shouting
”Plus, you didn't even say what your role is, are you a support? A mage? Or are you just good at wearing clothes?”
This was just straight out insulting and mocking but Lucy didn't even spare him a glance, as for Delia, she wasn't as calm as her. A god-like her being disgraced wasn't something she was used to, Arthur mocking her was alright as he was extremely strong and had some backings behind his words but this was just a mere mortal who can only run his mouth non-stop.
”Hmpf! And what makes you think you are qualified to talk to us?”
Delia displayed an arrogant pose as both of her hands were on her hips and her face turned toward Gulan who didn't expect the ever so silent Delia to finally utter a word of retort.
”I, I'm only speaking facts, you have to follow the rules and show us what you got, either show your Status Window, special ability or whatever you got, don't just say you join us and think it's enough!”
In response to him, Delia looked at him as if he was an annoying fly, she just waved her head dismissively and coldly said
”Piss off.”
This time, Gulan, Lady Sinyu and all the rest except Lucy were momentarily stunned, they didn't expect such words from a figure like Delia, with her appearance, attire and so on, she didn't seem like a person with a rotten mouth but the sad truth is that she is, since she became Arthur's slave, she could no longer bear it and would curse whenever she's annoyed. Sure it didn't suit her who had a status of a Holy Goddess but that was not important in such situations.
”W,W--What did you say?”
”I said Piss off. Such low-life, disgusting, annoying person who can only run his mouth, you want us to be tested? Alright, you're clearly one of the team, so go get your weapon and fight me.... come on, go get it, I'm waiting.”
Gulan's usually handsome face turned red from anger, he was insulted and mocked this much but he didn't reply, he furiously got up and was ready to go get his blade from the other room but suddenly, his body flew up in the air and was roughly smashed into the air.
It didn't deal much damage but his mouth and nose were hurt, blood came out of his nostrils and he lost a teeth. Such unusual thing was obviously done by the Delia who looked at him with contempt and had an evil smile hanging on her face
”You!!!! So shameless.”
Delia shrugged her shoulders and waved her hand, making Gulan's body float and crush again on the floor, then she retorted
”Shameless? Is that what you're going to say to a monster in the dungeon when he attacks when you're without a weapon? Just because you don't have your weapon you are crying and calling the other party shameless, now now, who from both of us is so shameless as to do that?”
Delia then smashed him yet again, making more teeth fall out and spoke again
”Such weak and frail body, with such strength you are bold enough to talk about testing us? I can beat you without lifting a finger and I'm just a support class, truly pathetic, why don't you get out of my sight.”
As she said that, Gulan was literally thrown from the windows and fell from the second floor, you could only hear his cry. All the other team members were dumbstruck by what just happened, as for Lady Sinyu, she looked at Delia with sparkling eyes and thought
'B-class? No definitely A-class, yes yes, it's A, surely an A!'
