40 Entering Bryarmont Town 1 (2/2)

The man had always been proud of his form, saying that it took him years of practice to perfect, but here, she was witnessing someone random who was capable of something that her trainer only dreamed of.

This guy…definitely wasn't normal.

If she had known that this was something perfected during the many near-death experiences that Aaron and Woof had been through, she probably wouldn't have been as surprised.

Recovering from the shock and unwilling to admit defeat, Anissa tried to speed up, but it was to no avail. She reached a few seconds after Aaron, with all of her dreams dashed.

Yet, this didn't stay in her mind much, as she saw the human and the Tera behaving in a very weird way.

Both of them were on their knees, with their noses held aloft, and their eyes were closed while drool dripped down their cheeks.

Even the gate guards, who were present on two raised podiums on two sides of the giant metallic gate that stood 7 meters tall, were scratching their heads as they saw these two.

They had witnessed it all: their precious little miss had been bested in a contest of speed, and as they were guards who had held this post for a long time, they still expected her to throw a tantrum like how she used to when she was younger.

Anissa couldn't figure it out, so she just made a hand signal to the guards to open the gates.

A stunning vista presented itself as soon as the two large gates swung open, and although she had seen it hundreds of times, she still loved to take it in and smile proudly, knowing that this was all possible because of her family.

A massive road that was at least 15 meters wide began in front of them, leading straight to the Mayor's Mansion on which a statue of the family Tera of the Bryars, a Giant Electric Eagle, was perched.

This road branched had many beaches which contained the rest of the Town, but the authority of the Mayor was clear by this design.

Until now, she had never seen anyone who had been able to view this sight without being awed, unless they were from an even higher tier of settlement.

So, she turned to the side, expecting to see Aaron slack-jawed.

She smiled as she saw that his jaw had dropped…but something was wrong.

Wait..why was he staring in that direction instead of looking at the Mayor's Mansion? And…why had the volume of drool increased?!

”Woof!”

She got her answer the next second, when she saw the Tera bound forward in that same direction and approach…the candy stall that was present in the first side lane of the Town, which was meant for tourists.

Aaron followed on all fours just like his Tera, and when he reached, he did something so strange that Anissa couldn't help but wonder which was the human, and which was the Tera.

Candy of all colors, shapes, and flavors were on display in bowls in front of the shop, and as soon as he reached, Aaron took down the bowl that she had thought to be a weird hat until now, and scooped them all up before dunking his head in and swallowing as many as he could.

The husky then head-butted Aaron, making him flinch and move to the side as it used the opportunity to take his head's place in the bowl to gobble up as much candy as possible.

After Aaron recovered, a fight ensued, with the human and the Tera taking turns to finish all the candy in the bowl before ravenously staring at the store owner, who was standing there, bewildered.

In desperation, he looked at Anissa and asked, ”Miss! Help!”

In response…Anissa promptly put her hands behind her back and said ”I don't know them,” before marching away in the direction of the mansion.
