I Became A System Chapter 22 - Going Back To The Guild

"Why did you do this?" Ellena asked Tembler.

"We... have no choice." He said with a tone of apologist.

"What do you an?" Selena asked with a confused tone.

All of them are hesitating to talk. But there was one who took the lead, it was Lala. Sara was still hurt and apparently, she was a quiet type.

"It's because of our debt. If we can't pay him, we will beco their family's sex slaves. But we were given an alternative. We have to beco his cannon fodder in dungeons so that he can rank up in the guild."

"For us, if we can't pay, we will beco a slave to them and be used in what manner they want."

What a ridiculous scum. He is just a coward person, but this matter... it's about debt. I can't really know how they manage debtors.

As for this bastard, it makes wonder where that scratch on his armor ca from. Perhaps from stumbling.

"Can you elaborate?" Amber joined the talk.

"Don't ever tell them! Or I will make your family suffer! Wenard, prepare so magic!"

Despite the wavy-head casting a spell, it wasn't enough to ensure the safety of the curl-head.

Ellena didn't let wavy-head prepare a spell. She imdiately apprehended the wavy-head by dashing quickly. The action of Ellena was the reason, bringing curl-head to abrupt kneel.

"Don't ever think of doing sothing funny."

A fear point appeared and now it was from wavy-head. Good. It was a nice part-ti job for while watching this marvelous play. The protagonist, Ellena is really great. Just what a badass!

"Lala, can you heal your comrades? I just need sothing from these two."

Ellena's tone was full of authority. However, Ellena didn't notice her actions and just moved to the bastards. Now that makes think, Ellena is becoming sothing so straight. I an, her actions beca simple. If she's angry, without soone reminding her, she will continue to get angry.

I can only release an imaginary sigh. This is truly hard to manage. Ellena is what you call simple right now.

"W-what do you need?"

"Nothing."

Ellena's words were simple but her face contradicted her words. She was emitting an eerie vibe that looked like a black mist. It was more creepy, but it was a result of her attitude right now. She was obviously smiling with her eyes closed.

Amber assisted Lala in putting her friends in a seat. While Selena is just behind Ellena, doubting that Ellena was in the right mind right now. I can feel her too. But there's only one thing we can do, and it's to remind Ellena to calm down.

"Calm down." I said but she didn't react in what I expect her to do.

'I'm calm.'

There's no use. She is really angry at this bastard. Well, I don't have anything bad about it... It's just, Selena keeps on making these suspecting eyes.

"What's their debt anyway?" Ellena initiated.

Despite trembling, the curl-head took his courage and stood up. He pushed Ellena but it did not make her stumble. Instead, it made Ellena angrier.

"Run Wenard!"

"But I can just shoot magic into this bitch!"

"Stupid! She is more monster than those dogs!"

Panicked, they run. Run to get away from Ellena, but it did not result in any good. Ellena just smiled this creepy smile. And it makes wonder where she learned this...

I an, Ellena learned harsh words from the adventurers' guild, but I did not limit her. It was her own developnt so I didn't pay much heed to it as I expected it to be useful to her.

However... this is really sothing beyond what I expected. She learns how to manipulate situations that would fit her side. That would give her an advantage. She is being a manipulator right now...

I don't know. I hope that I was just hallucinating if I can.

Behind Ellena, there is an orb that emits a strong light enough to fight with the fire's light. The orb was on top of a small pillar.

Ellena approached the dungeon core and slamd it with her sword. Just after an impact was made, the surrounding changed, making the dungeon instantly close; resulting in them being outside.

The brown hair brothers, let's call them in that way, halted. They slowly peeked behind them, but they were too late, Ellena was already after them.

She kicked the bastards to the ground. To their surprise, they activated their runes.

"Even I see that this will be useless. I can't be humiliated by a bitch!" I heard the curl-head hissed before using his rune to the full extent.

Releasing his warcry, Ellena dodges the fast punch by activating her [Footwork Acustomization] then responds with a punch. A ragged gasp escaped his mouth, groaning, and suffering in agony on the ground.

All of them were surprised too. As their perplexed expressions erged, they stopped Ellena before he could injure the curl-head more.

"Big Brother!" A shout from wavy-head. Without any choice, the wavy-head just growled, trying to cast a spell that would injure Ellena.

But Ellena seems to be a beast right now. Through her veins, it feels like an adrenaline rush is currently occurring.

Ellena dodged the rock bullet then apprehended the wavy-head as well.

"Did you see it? He clearly tried to hurt ."

Ellena waited for the others to reply.

"Yeah."

Even hesitating, the other 6 seem to read the situation. And on the other hand, the curl-head passed out from extre pain.

"Lala, please heal him. We can't let him use that to escape his sin from putting us in danger."

Lala just willingly obeyed Ellena's words.

"By the way, from what family are you from?" Amber asked the wavy head.

"Masagach."

"I see... So your family is a Viscount family? No problem. Carry your brother. We will surely make your license and mbership revoked."

The wavy-head made a doubtful look.

"Hmph! You can't do that." He confidently said.

"And why is that?"

"Obviously, because we are more powerful than you!" Amber just laughed at the wavy-head's proclamation.

I get it... I know what is going to happen right now. It will be a battle of court rank. The Count is higher than the Viscount, obviously.

"Don't speak as if it's the end."

***

The wavy-head carried his brother back to the guild. Although they made a despicable act, Oliver helped him carry his brother.

I guess, he is just purely kind.

They made it back to the guild and the receptionist was surprised by what happened to the curl-head. They made him sit on a chair, then approached Ellena's group to ask so questions.

"Can I ask, what happened to you? Did you close the dungeon?"

"Yes. Here is the dungeon core." They presented a broken orb.

"I see... But can I ask what happened to him?" The receptionist asked another question.

"He was planning to us. Clearly, he didn't help us by looking at him. Nothing but bruises because of running from ." Ellena stated.

Even with the explanation, the receptionist was still left perplexed.

"Can you please elaborate on that?"

"Hm... Let's start at the beginning."

Ellena started to talk about the first event when they gathered here at the guild up until to the dungeon core, where they scread like a fool.

The receptionist was just writing down what Ellena said in simpler words.

"So that was it. I will report this to the guild master right now."

The receptionist was acting to go upstairs but she was halted by the wavy-head.

"Our father is here to punish these commoners." He said it in a confident tone.

"What's the matter? The guard at the gate rushedly reported to that Polir was out of consciousness."

A guy in his 40's entered the guild. He wears an expensive-looking casual attire with his arms crossed as soon as he entered the premises. He also had the sa hair color as these two and obviously, they are pretty alike. With words and face, they are scum.

What a pitiful child. Can't act like a mature person, despite having an adventurer license. It makes wonder, how did this bastard get his license? Is it from his paying the trainer? The examiner? Can't they just die?

They still have a confident face. I don't know if there's sothing they can do, but I'm pretty confident in this cunning Amber's plan.

"They assaulted us. All of them! Including those ungrateful commoners!" He pointed out Ellena's group.

Well, I can't say any words anymore. He really is a pathetic person.

"These commoners! Where's the guild master?! I want them removed from this useless guild!"

"Pft." On the other hand, Amber just released a snort. It made the old bastard angry, well, technically it was insulting to his side.

"Have you hit your head?"

"Well, I apologize. You child there assaulted a noble."

Amber took sothing inside her garnts. It looks like a badge or a crest of their... insignia!

"What are you getting? Is that a... crest? Hmph! There is no way that you are higheee... gold lining? a count?!"

Yeah... That was really her using her power as a noble.

"What would happen to your family if we exposed that your son tried to **** us?"

"What?! That's ridiculous!"

"You said it. Live up to your words." Amber made an outstanding victory. Although it wasn't that really hard since her enemy is scared of the ss.

"F-father?"

"Stupid! What have you done?!"

Well... let's take a rest for a mont.. Because I know that there will be a mission later since Ellena is furious right now.
