This is what happened during the ti Roy decided to practice his joint dislocation technique.
A girl is running through the forest and her destination is the main road. She ran there so she can get reinforcent fast before sothing more terrible happened to her village.
Her village is being attacked by bandits, but she's able to escape and tried to find reinforcent. On the run, he t Roy and asked for his help. But instead of helping her village, he only gave her directions. One is the direction to the nearest city, and the other is a direction on what to do during ergency.
Roy told her to stay calm and think thoroughly. That way, she will find the most efficient way to survive and probably will be able to save her village faster.
Of course it will be faster if Roy co with her to her village, but Roy doesn't even think of saving the village. He thought that if even just one bandit able to escape, they might try to take revenge on him. Or maybe they would even try to attack the village again. That's why he told the girl to ask for reinforcent from the city.
Roy taught the girl a little too long that her pursuers finally caught up with her. Then Roy told her to leave and now she has already reached the main road.
She looked around and she could see several people but she didn't ask them for help right away.
I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD ASK THEM FOR HELP! MOST OF THEM ARE N AND THEY LOOKED AS IF THEY WANT TO EAT WHOLE! I'VE GOT NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GAIN THEIR ATTENTION FIRST! MAYBE NOT ALL OF THEM IS AS BAD AS WHAT THAT PERSON TOLD !
The girl whose thought is full of capital letters and exclamation marks is Jewel. The girl who has been nicknad as loud person by Roy.
Jewel approached a group of what seems to be a hunter party and ask for their help. Unfortunately, this party is filled by n.
"HELP! MY VILLAGE IS BEING ATTACKED BY BANDITS!"
"Oh? What kind of reward will you give us for saving your village, huh? Hmm? She's already running? Well, let's ignore her plea. Whatever happened to that village is no concern to us."
THIS IS JUST AS HE TOLD ! I SAW THAT GUY IS LOOKING AT MY BODY EVEN THOUGH I'M JUST 13 YEARS OLD! HE MUST BE AIMING FOR MY BODY! AND I FEEL LIKE IF THEY ARE GOING BECAUSE OF THE REWARD, IF THEY THINK THAT THE OPPONENTS IS TOO STRONG, THEY WILL RUN AWAY FIRST AND MAKE THE VILLAGERS AS DECOY! IF I TRY TO NEGOTIATE, IT WILL JUST MAKES IT LONGER UNTIL I GET A REAL REINFORCENT! I'LL JUST LOOK FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO HELP!
NOW THAT I THOUGHT CAREFULLY, MY PARENT SHOULD BE SAFE! IF THE RAID IS A SUCCESS FOR THE BANDITS, THEY WILL LET US LIVE SO THEY CAN ROB US AGAIN IN THE FUTURE! THAT'S WHY THEY WON'T KILL US! AND I'M THE ONLY YOUNG WOMAN IN THE VILLAGE! MY MOM GAVE BIRTH TO WHEN SHE'S ALREADY 40! I HOPE NONE OF THE BANDITS IS AIMING AT HER. AS FOR MY FATHER, AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T TRY TO REBEL, HE WILL BE SAFE! I DON'T REALLY CARE MUCH ABOUT OTHER VILLAGERS! I JUST WANT MY PARENT TO BE SAFE!
Her thoughts filled her head. She's not wrong that her parent might be safe. And she doesn't care much about other villagers' well-being. Since she's always being bullied by the others.
Everyone her age are boys. And during their childhood, boys tend to tease the girls they liked. That's why Jewel doesn't like them. Then other adults keep ignoring her when she's being teased. Her only allies is her parent. She would like to move but her parent rejected that idea. Her father is just a farr. They lack other skills necessary to survive in the city. Even if they moved to another village, they're afraid that other villagers in the new place they moved won't accept them. That's why they have no choice but to stay.
On the main road, as she run to the city, she t a party of five won. She thought they might be kind enough to help without reward so she asked their help.
That party is called Gladius. A party of five b-ranked hunters and all of the mbers are girls.
When Jewel asked for their help, they agree to help instantly. So Jewel together with five girls, return back to her village.
There's one odd mber in Gladius. It was the leader of the party, Nana.
She's called Nana because she's old enough to be the grandmother of the other mbers. No one rember her real na and everyone called her Nana. She's the one who suggested her party to help Jewel.
She asked Jewel a question she had been curious about.
"We'll help you protect the village. Lead the way!"
"OKAY!"
"Why are you so loud?"
"I'M THE ONLY YOUNG GIRL IN THE VILLAGE! AND MOM SAID N LIKE QUIET GIRL!"
"Ah! I see! It must be annoying when they annoy you with their flirting. It must be worked if you keep talking loudly even when you talk normally."
"YES! I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO LOWER THE VOLU OF MY VOICE!"
"Is that even possible? And why are you so calm even though your village is being attacked by bandits?"
"I T A MAN BEFORE I T YOU! HE'S ABOUT MY AGE! MAYBE 2 OR 3 YEARS OLDER SINCE HE SAID HE'S STRONG! HE MUST HAVE AWAKEN HIS MAGIC! HE TOLD TO STAY CALM EVEN IN THE WORST SITUATION! NOW I HAVE THINK THINGS THROUGH, I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE VILLAGE! ONLY MY PARENT'S SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO ! AND I DON'T THINK THAT THE BANDITS WILL KILL THEM IF THEY WANT TO ROB OUR VILLAGE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE! BUT I WANT MY PARENT TO BE SAFE SO AFTER YOU SAVE THE VILLAGE, I WILL GO TO THE CITY TO GIVE QUEST TO THE GUILD TO HAVE SOONE BE THE VILLAGE'S GUARD! UNTIL I CA BACK, WILL YOU STAY IN THE VILLAGE AND CLEAR THE LAST BIT OF BANDITS?!"
"Sure. But you need to learn how to lower your voice first."
"I'LL TRY!"
They continue toward Jewel's village and soon, they passed the place where she t Roy before.
"What the…"
They found two bodies lied down on the ground without any sign of battle or magic. They are the two n who beca Roy's sparring partner.
"AH! THEY ARE THE GUYS WHO PURSUED BEFORE! THAT MAN I T MUST HAVE DEFEATED THEM!"
"See if they're still alive."
Nana told her party mbers to check the bandit condition. The two of them are alive and well. They are just fainted, but most of the joints in their bodies are dislocated.
"How cruel. I think the man you t choose to turn them into his sparring partner. Who the hell is he?"
"HE SAID HE'S STRONG TOO! I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS BUT I KNOW WHERE HE WILL LIVE!"
"Oh… then if he's this strong, why won't he just go to your village?"
"HE SAID THAT HE'S JUST ONE MAN! IN CASE SO BANDITS MANAGED TO ESCAPE, THEY WILL SURELY TAKE REVENGE AND THE NEXT TI THEY ATTACKED THE VILLAGE, IT WILL BE WORSE THAN TODAY! THAT'S WHY I WANT TO FIND SOONE WHO CAN BE THE VILLAGE'S GUARD AND PROTECTED IT!"
"Hmm… he's smart. But to ignore people in danger is a bit…"
"Nana! Look! I think that man left behind a ssage here!"
There's a ssage written on the ground. Roy used his spear to write on the ground as if he knows that Jewel will co back soon.
The ssage says:
Dear the loudest girl I've ever t.
If you read this ssage, that ans you're able to find good people to help you. Tonight it will rain and erase this ssage, so I will give you so information from these two.
There are about twenty bandits in the village other than these two. Most of them are either beginner or interdiate level mage. The leader is an advanced mage so be careful.
By the way, I'm heading toward their lair which is empty because all of the bandits went to loot your village. I'm going to loot their lair so if your reinforcent strong enough to defeat them all, and can find the lair but it's empty, it was because of .
P.S. :
I've checked your village and return here to write this. There are no casualties other than the injured. Nobody died. The bandits only co to secure foods. They won't kill unnecessarily unless they are provoked. They will leave before the sun is set so if you read this, be quick.
Bye.
"…this man you t is amazing. It wasn't that long before you get us and return here, right? Then he's able to find all of this in that short ti. I'm interested in him."
"YEAH! I FEEL LIKE HE'S AMAZING! THAT'S WHY WHEN I ET HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, I WANT TO ASK HIM TO TEACH MORE! I STILL HAVEN'T AWAKEN MY MAGIC SO I HOPE CAN BE A LITTLE SMARTER WITH HIS TEACHING."
"To be able to influence you this much with just one eting… maybe in the future we will hear more about this guy. As for Jewel wanting to be his disciple, I believe his first teaching for you to be quieter."
"I'LL TRY!"
They then quicken their pace and arrive at Jewel's village soon. Thanks to Roy's ssage, they can defeat all the bandits easily with good planning.
Jewel's parent are both alive and well. As for the injured, one of Gladius party mber is a healer. The party decided to stay in the village for a while until Jewel returned from giving a request at the guild.
As for Roy, he's going back to lk with happiness filled his heart because of the loot he got from the bandit's lair. Now he's just wondering about how to enter lk without raising any unwanted attention.
