After the training Jin and Silvia did, they donned their adventure outfits. Jin, with his old black style, and Silvia wore a tight white outfit and skirt with an armor plate made from Mithril that covered her front torso.
With a pair of protectors on her arms and knees, a testant to her resolve to tackle a new challenge, Silvia reached out to her chest and exhaled.
"I’m quite nervous."
The girl curled her lips and tightened the grip on the blue sword hilt that strapped on her waist, which glowed in response to its Master’s quickened heartbeat.
[What’s the matter, Master? Are you feeling nervous?]
"Yeah, a bit". Silvia exhaled and softened the grip on the hilt. "Sorry for showing you sothing like this".
[Don’t worry, Master. You will be okay]
"Thanks, Thalassa".
Jin’s ears perked at her slight murmur, and he opened his mouth. "Thalassa? Who is that?".
"Ah, you rember the blue sword from that ti?".
"The one you pull it from that altar?".
"Yes, that’s the one". Silvia nodded, then glanced at the sword beside her with a smile, "Well, actually, its na was Thalassa, and she was one of the six great elental spirits."
Six great spirits, even the clueless Jin, recognized those beings. The beings that kept balance in the world were born from Titan Gaia.
From the book he once read, enraged, Uranus struck Gaia with his last power. She was fatally wounded and used her remaining life to shatter her power into six major elents that hold the balance of the planet in her absence.
Ti passed, and those powers gradually regained their own consciousness, which was then manifested in the form of Spirits.
However, those six beings naturally produce offspring within the countless years of their life, giving birth to smaller and more scattered spirits roaming around the world.
Jin took a glance at the sword and exhaled. "Wow, it seems like you are lucky, I guess".
"Yes, I am".
The two arrived at the central town, which was still bustling with people, lively rchants and kids filled the street with laughter.
Jin weaved through the crowd, followed by Silvia behind. He spotted a blonde tail swaying left and right as the girl in ntion stood near the Adventure Guild building.
"Iris?". Silvia raised her arm and greeted the Elven girl, who flinched at the sudden call.
"Good morning, Silvia and Jin too".
Iris waved her hand and shifted her attention to Jin, who replied with a simple nod.
"Good morning, Iris. Let’s enter the guild".
Both girls clasped each other’s hands and shook them with spirited vigor. Jin loosened his facial muscles and walked behind them as the two entered the building.
Once they entered, the place was buzzing with activity with that cream from the bar on the right. The scent of ale and angered shout opened a quarrel scene, making the atmosphere festive.
Jin shrugged his shoulders and watched the girl who walked toward the receptionist counter, which was strangely scarce. He looked to the left and watched as the quest boards were filled with parchnt.
’There are so many quests even in the winter’. He walked toward the board, checked the details and saw if anything piqued his interest.
’Goblin, Wolves, Sli King? I have never seen one, even the regular one’. Jin’s eyes narrowed in seeing a quest regarding a sli within the dark forest. ’But in this cold weather, can they survive?’.
It was a hypothetical answer that flashed in his brain, but the sli was practically a monster in jelly ford.
One thing that ca to his mind was how they were born by multiplying their core, absorbing moisture and mana from the atmosphere.
Then ca a winter where the humidity was scarce, and this would be the harshest environnt for them to multiply, but soone saw them loitering around the east side of the Dark Forest.
"Hmm". Jin placed his palm on his lips, diving into his thoughts as he saw a quest for Orc subjugation. "This should do, I think".
"Hey, do you see them?".
"Fuuh, they look totally aweso".
"True, especially that green-haired one".
Three adventurers sat behind him, whispering sothing that attracted his attention.
Jin turned around and witnessed three n. Their shabby clothes and ragged appearance ogled the girls he was with.
Their lips spread in a lecherous smirk, and cheeks flushed with lust. He downed the ale in his hand in one go.
"Aah, that’s it; I will take the silver-haired one." A bulky bald man wiped the foam on his lips and stood up. "I’m cold right now and need a body pillow, especially a beauty."
"Ah, boss, share with too". A lanky man with yellow teeth and a flat face crept behind his boss’s shadows.
"T-Then, I can have the green one all by myself, wuehehe". A short-chubby man fixed his robe, gripped the staff, and followed along.
However, before they took a step forward, Jin stood before them, his erald eyes sharpened. He tightened the grip on his katana sheath and addressed them.
"Folks, please calm down for a second. I think you drank too much".
"Haa, Who are you, brat!".
The bald man narrowed his eyes, seeing his golden chance got stopped by a brat. His follower behind also snorted, leaking a bit of their murderous aura.
"Move away, brat!".
"Yeah, don’t interrupt us".
Their shout silenced the atmosphere within the building as all eyes gathered on them. So of them gulped at the rising tension, and so receptionists hurriedly left the scene and ascended the stairs to inform the Guild Master.
Even though they knew an adult was threatening a child, no one dared to interfere. It was their rule as Adventurers, not because they were afraid or wanted to have so way with the girls.
One of those rules is that: Guild forbade a conflict between adventurers and would punish everyone by taking their quest permission for a while or permanently blacklisting them from the guild.
Silence enveloped the entire room. Jin gazed at the others who amusingly watched them; even so held cash in bet who would erge victorious.
"Look, I know you guys were horny. I get it, but not with those two; they were with ".
"Haa, you’re getting cocky for being a kid".
The bulky man reached for the axe that leaned on the table, and the other two tightly gripped their dagger and staff, respectively.
"House rules, no conflict between adventurers. Have you heard of that?". Jin raised a finger and then pointed his thumb behind. "Do you not hear that from those receptionist ladies over there".
"Last chance, brat. Move! Those two are wasted on you". The bald man struck the building floor with the axe with a dull thud and continued, "You better go ho and suck your mother’s breast".
"Yeah, don’t interrupt our fun. Don’t worry, we will release them after one night". The yellow teeth squirted his brows, turning his flat face into a grotesque expression.
"Y-Yeah, how about we invite your mother to have fun with us too". A droll dripped from the short man’s lips, imagining his night.
Jin stood calmly and devoid of any emotions. He scanned his surroundings, and they flinched upon eting gaze with him.
Then, he peeked through his shoulder and watched the prying eyes on the second floor.
"What? Are you scared now? You better...".
Before the bulky man touched Jin’s shoulder, trendous pressure hit the entire building. The people’s gaze swayed as they felt the entire world tremble under the boys’ might.
A white line slowly drifted through the atmosphere, drawing a complex and unnatural phenonon, before seeing the world shattered like glass with their bodies turned into minced at.
Everyone’s present gasped and stumbled upon their seat, watching the wooden ceilings that brought their consciousness back to reality.
They trembled and could feel a chill crawling on their skins. Its sharp, gleaming blade tapped around their necks, ready to slice it.
Three consecutive thuds rang and broke the heavy atmosphere in the building. The three n collapse with eyes rolled to the back, unconscious.
"Huff, is this enough, Uncle Roland?".
A gasp escaped everyone’s presence as they witnessed a tall brown-haired man who leaked a ferocious aura like a bear walking toward the scene. His narrowed eyes swept around the guild and stopped at the three.
Without turning around, Roland asked. "Are you hurt, Jin?".
"Hardly, but I was pissed off when these three insulted my family". Jin lightly kicked the unconscious guy’s weapon away and clicked his tongue, "Who are they anyway?".
"They were an adventure from the Capital". Roland crossed his hands and tapped the elbow.
"Is this much fine? Can I go now?".
"Yeah, I’m sorry for putting you into this".
Jin waved his hand and walked toward the counter with a parchnt he had ripped from the quest board.
When he arrived, both girls welcod him. One with a warm smile and another with spread lips in a smirk.
"Thanks, Jin". Silvia tugged at his sleeves and watched the crimson flush on his cheek, making her giggle behind her hand.
"Well, you are quite the temper there". Iris shrank pupils as she noticed the boy’s hidden nature. "Thank you, Jin".
"Don’t bother". Jin raised a palm and faced the receptionist he knew well, "Mrs. Layla, can I take this quest?".
He spread the parchnt on the counter and shifted sideways. "Are you guys ready for Orc hunting?".
