Chapter 298 - Wariness Among The Formed Party (2/2)

”Wait… If he's here, then what happened to the snakes?”

Some Adventurers began muttering amongst themselves when the tall and muscular adventurer who was waiting at the entrance and convinced that there was more to him that met the eye muttered

”Well, I'll be damned…”

Not a single wound nor injury could be seen on the man. His clothes were in the same state as before and his blindfold looked as if it hadn't been touched at all. What's more, his expression hadn't changed at all.

The first thing the guild-master noticed about the young man, was that he wasn't normal. No presence, no magic power, even his cloak looked as if it were hiding a weak and powerless body beneath it. But for some reason, he felt a strange sense of danger.

Hexo who saw this was also surprised, or rather, he wasn't sure how to react.

'What a lucky day… It's that guy again…' He thought to himself nervously

The guild-master suddenly got up and watched as the young man made his way towards him. The other A-Ranker's watched quietly, they were one of the few who didn't let out a single laugh at the young man. Not because they had deemed him dangerous but because it wasn't worth their time, laughing like a bunch of idiots at a young man's problems.

However, now. Seeing the young man returned, had caused them to grow slightly wary of him. A lot more than they initially expected. The air around him felt different, colder. Yet they weren't sure why they felt that way, all of them except for Hexo.

The Guild master's expression turned rather serious and he became more and more quiet as the young man reached the group.

”Hey… Who is this young man?��� The guild master asked as he kept his face fixed on the young man.

The adventurers who heard this, didn't even waste the opportunity to reply.

”Just, some Random sacrifice for the battlefield.”

”Ha ha! That was harsh, he's just a blind man in need of help is all.”

”At least he managed to defeat a goblin.”

The group of adventurers started to laugh again, and the guild master slowly began to approach the young man with a rather terrifying expression as he did so.

”Goblin…? Ah… I see… So the report was correct… Truly an Illusion…” The Guild Master muttered as he stood right in front of the young man

He towered over the young man in terms of height, and definitely looked more powerful, but… He had a feeling it was only looks.

The tension began to rise in the room as they all paid attention to the guild master's reaction. Then out of nowhere he began to laugh. And a loud one at that.

”Oh man!! I can't stop laughing!! H-Ha- Wai-Ha!”

Everyone listened in quietly, and shortly after, he stopped.

”Oh god… Ah… It must be from the age… Sorry… It's just… I didn't realize how stupid this generation could be… What's your name boy?” The guild master asked as he stretched out his hand at John for a Hand Shake

The young man looked at the hand before grabbing onto his adventurer's card within his cloak and handing it to the Guild master. In that instant, the Guild Master got to see Daggers on the young man's waist. Yet he carried a staff on his hand. There was more to him than met the eye.

The Guild Master looked at the adventurer's card and was glad to see that it was A-Rank. His instincts and senses weren't mistaken. He then had a look at the name and a joyful smile could be seen displayed on his face once he was finished inspecting it.

”Right, that's all I needed to see, thank you.” Said the guild master.

The young man nodded, and placed his card back inside of his cloak. In that Instant, he felt an immense amount of blood l.u.s.t along with a fist heading straight towards his face.

He watched it make it's way, and without even bothering to dodge, he slightly lowered his head. In that moment, he was sent flying back straight through the crowd to the guild's entrance with haste.

As he crashed into the door, surprise filled the Guild Master's face.

”Eh? Why didn't you dodge?” The guild master asked

He then looked over at his hand with the gauntlet covering it, and noticed a slight crack on it. On top of that, there was a surge of pain occurring in the hand which he used to punch the young man.

”What the hell!?”

”H-Hey, is he fine?!”

”D-Did he kill him?”

The adventurers were even more surprised than the Guild-Master. Yet out of nowhere, without a wound visible on his face, the young man suddenly got up from the floor, before making his way back towards the guild master.

”H-Hey, don't you think it'd be better to stay down?”

”You sure you okay?”

”Maybe he hit his head too hard?!”

The adventurers were thinking of stopping him, when suddenly the young man pulled back his hand and curled it into a fist. The guild master was a battle maniac, so seeing this caused him to feel a rush of adrenaline along with excitement.

”Now it's your turn. Come at me, I won't run or dodge.” Said the guild master with a joyful look
