42 Nuisance. (1/2)

When Raven and Blaze had completed their training sessions, Ozul gave them the instructions.

Half an hour later, all of them headed to the Mercenary Guild.

There were usual cheers and noise all around. The trio did not care about the looks that they received because of Raven and went straight for the Task Board.

Raven took the quest where they just had to kill a few monsters in the forest nearby. Roland, the receptionist, was a bit skeptical, thinking that the kids didn't know their limit, but he didn't care and just signed the task as accepted.

He had seen many who took on the dangers to make a name for themselves only to end up with nothing but death.

Just as they were about to head out, a seemingly unpleasant voice entered their ears;

”Hehe~... Girl, Why don't you spend a night with me and forget about being a Mercenary? Huh?”-

The man seemed drunk with his team members as others were sneering their way. The Mercenaries may not have any loyalty, but they did not like it when such people joined their ranks.

And unity originates from similar minds. It seemed that the mass didn't very like the group of drunk men.

But even though they didn't like it, no one interfered and kept their opinion to themselves.

The drunk man stood up and arrived before Raven. He continued blabbering;

”*Hic*... Haha! Bitch, I will pay you enough money to last for days..*Hic* Why don't you come here and join me...”

Just as the man was about to touch Raven's shoulder, he did not notice, but a black shadow slashed towards the hand and disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, everyone in the crowd was Rank-3 or below Mage. Hence, no one noticed the attack whatsoever!

But the receptionist, Ronald, who was a Rank-4 Mage, had witnessed the attack. If he had blinked, even he wouldn't be able to notice it.

However, his entire focus was on the newbie group exiting the building. Hence, he had seen the black blade that slashed towards the arm before disappearing.

A second passed before the extended arm of the drunk guy fell to the ground!

A gush of blood spurted from the base of the hand, and the guy couldn't even comprehend as to what had transpired in such a short amount of time!

Only the warm feeling of blood that fell on his face allowed him to face the harsh reality. Right after that, the burning pain rushed his mind as he began to scream.

Now, even the people who were not paying any attention to the earlier fuss had their ears perked up.

No one could understand the situation, but the one thing they knew was that this had to do something with the black-haired girl.

Only she showed an expression of indifference at the sight of such a gruesome scene.

They also became wary of the situation—no one wanted to get dragged into a mess that they couldn't handle.

The team members of the drunk man had sweat forming on their foreheads. Their faces turned ugly after realizing that they had picked a wrong opponent.

They also wanted to do something about their teammate who was writhing in pain on the floor. But they didn't dare to step forward.

Receptionist Roland saw the situation and left his counter.

”Now...now. Take your teammate, have him checked, and leave.”- Roland said while looking towards the trembling teammates of the drunk man.

They had rules stating that there will be no internal fights inside the building, or the involved will have their Guild membership revoked.

The scene took place just outside the door, but outside nonetheless! So, Roland could not do anything even if he wanted to.
