62 [53] Before returning home (1/2)

A few days after Hyshela became a member of the Hoomyr family.

The prospect of returning to the village of the spirits finally came into view, and Virum and the others who entered the Adventurer's Guild to say a few words to Shazar before leaving, went to the reception counter where Celica was, as usual.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

''It's quite lively today, isn't it?

”Hello, Celica.

'Oh, hello everyone. As a matter of fact...

Right after they exchanged greetings and Celica opened her mouth to explain the situation, a loudest cheer came from behind Virum and the others.

''Oh! We've won again!

Hey, hey, how many men do you have left?

What's that, twenty or so?

He's a f*cking kid.

From what they're saying, it seems that they're having a match, and that the unusually strong kids are racking up a series of wins against the adventurers.

Suddenly, the man at the back of the line turns around and meets eyes with Wyrm and the others.

''Ah... Oi! The Wyrms are here!

'What! Seriously!

'Mr. Wilm, Meldina and little Cunaria! Over here!

The adventurers who had been making a lot of noise turned around in unison and began to make noise again, as if they were excited to see Virum and the others.

The three of them didn't understand the reason for the suddenness and walked towards the training camp with a question mark on their heads.

''Are you the rumored Virum-san who put down the coup d'état in the Humane Kingdom almost single-handedly?

The one who emerged through the adventurers was a boy.

He was taller than Cunaria, maybe even shorter than Meldina.

He had morbidly pale skin, haphazardly cropped blue-purple frizzy hair, ears shaped similar to those of the elves, and puffy sapphire blue eyes.

He is dressed in skeletal armor, which is probably demonic material, and on his back is a weapon that looks like a cleaver that exceeds his own height.

Judging from the equipment, his fighting style would be a well-balanced short to medium range type.

'Yeah, but. What do you want from me?

The approaching boy stopped in front of Virum and quickly grabbed the naginata he was carrying and slashed at him.

Vilm placed the back of his hand on the hilt of the cleaver that was coming down sharply and received it away, while at the same time sliding his body next to the boy and aiming at his abdomen, he gave a knee kick to the boy.

''Kahaha...!

The boy, shielding his stomach with one hand, is barely able to stand, barely able to use his cleaver as a cane.

But that's not the extent of Virum's work, and he holds the boy, who suffers from not being able to breathe, down with a foot sweep, stepping on the spot where he was met with a knee kick.

''Greetings out of the blue. I didn't mean to kill you, but... what the hell are you doing?

'Whoa! Whoa! I mean, the rumors weren't really wrong... at least I'm obviously stronger than I am now...

Completely incapacitated, the boy coughs bitterly.

'Vil. 'It's a child, okay? You'll have to forgive him for that.

'Master, you can't go any further, can you?

Meldina and Cunaria, judging that the decision has been made, go in to stop Virum in order to prevent him from pursuing it further.

''Ah, I guess Virum is stronger after all.

He was pretty strong, too, but he did it so easily.

Different, huh?

The adventurers around them seem to be getting excited on their own as Virum continues to win over his peers and dodges the boy who was slashed by surprise, without a care in the world.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
