"Did you had to do that?" asked Ervas to Veronica.
?
"Eh? Why not? The idiot said that you were a shrimp! And you know how mad I get when strangers insult you! They make me want to crush them to death and eat their souls!" said Veronica out loud, everyone else that was near her quickly moved away… she had gotten from a beautiful mature woman to a completely wicked woman.
"Okay, okay, relax now," said Ervas, petting Veronica's arms.
"Sigh… Okay, I am fiiinee," said Veronica.
"Auntie Veronica that was awesome!" said Pekorina.
"Yeah, they were talking dirty about us and you gave that idiot a nice kick in the balls!" said Acathea.
"Hahaha! Idiot got balls crushed!" laughed Amelia, as she glanced at the pathetic man struggle to gasp for air as he was carried by his party members away from the Adventurer Guild.
"This is not the last you see from me, YOU BITCH!" roared the man, as Veronica smiled bitterly.
"Wait a bit," she said, as she darted away from the Adventurer Guild at a superhuman speed, such speed that the adventurers could not even discern!
Many of them began to sweat nervously… such supernatural speed was not normal!
"That's… the speed of an A-Rank at least!"
"No… that was surely an S-Rank!"
"No way… what the heck was that?"
"You guys are tripping… there's no way… an S-Rank is here…"
"Y-Yeah… Must have been… your imagination…"
Veronica caught up to the man that called her a bitch alongside his friends, and quickly put his face into the ground.
Smack!
"UNNGGAAH…!"
"You know? I am not going to kill you because I don't want to make a scene… but I will make sure for you to never have the will to call another woman a Bitch ever again!" roared Veronica, her eyes gleaming with crimson light!
"E-Eeeh?! G-Get away from meeeeee!" cried the man, as Veronica's fists approached his face, twisting it around, his flesh being crushed, and pain surging through his entire body.
Veronica was holding back masterfully, but the man was already knocked out in two punches.
"Oh…" she said.
"Y-You killed him!" said one of his party members.
"What? Nah he is alive. Here have a potion, and some compensation, you guys better behave if you do not want your balls crushed and your face smacked, alright?" said Veronica while winking, as she threw a gold nugget to the guys and a potion, walking away.
"T-That's… a golden nugget?!"
"What the fuck, she just gave it to us?!"
"Wait… is she an aristocrat?!"
"Fuck! Run! Grab him and run!"
The men quickly grabbed their fallen companion, the potion, and the golden nugget, and got lost within the busy streets, the people that saw the scene suddenly seemed to lose a bit of the memory they got while watching it as if it did not occur…
Ervas Phantom Clone was camouflaging with the shadows of the building, conjuring Mind Encroachment into the people, and making most of them forget this incident…
Ervas within the inside of the Adventurer Guild sighed in relief.
"I managed to make this less bad," he sighed, although he felt like Veronica's actions were too rash, this was how her personality was and felt a bit flattered by her way of thinking too.
"Phew, I am back. Oh man, I guess I missed hitting some bad guys," said Veronica.
"You're quite the heroine, my lady…" said Percy with a bitter smile.
"Anyways, let's register," said Ervas.
"Oh yeah! We came to register as Adventurers!" said Veronica.
"I-Is that… so? I-I see… Y-You… seem very strong already… A-Are you… an adventurer wanting to renew their license?" asked the dwarf man.
"Eh? No, we are newbies," said Veronica.
The rest of the Adventurers hearing Veronica fell in shock.
How can Veronica call herself a newbie?!
She was such a strong person already to their eyes…
Indeed, she was way too modest or just an idiot.
However, Veronica was not an idiot at all, she did all of this to make an impression over all the Adventurers to not mess with her or anyone at her side!
And also, the Adventurers might spread rumors about a new and strong woman that does not let men flirt with her, and aristocrats might grow interested, which is what she wanted.
"I-I see.. so you want to register as new Adventurers… W-Well, we need a few things first…" said the dwarf man, as Ervas and Veronica showed them their VIP Cards.
"Hm? W-What is that- AH?! V-VIP… Member… Cards from… the Merchant… Guild?!" asked the dwarf man, almost falling unconscious due to the shock!
Mostly everyone else heard the man speak, and could not believe it either…
Only those that were filthy rich, the ones that completely dominated the entire Seashore Town had such cards!
These two people… were they really such aristocrats?!
"Can we go met your Guild Master?" asked Veronica.
"W-What?" asked the dwarf man, still dazed.
"My lady had requested a meeting with your Guild Master. Based on the authority of those with such a card as her, I would believe that you would let her do so," said Percy.
"AH! Yes, of course, of course!" said the dwarf man, running upstairs!
Vairvec Sinvru, the Guild Master of the Adventurer Guild was incredibly busy as of now.
He was writing, signing, and reading several documents, pilling them up at the side, and grabbing the next.
He has been doing this since the last day, without taking any break nor sleeping.
If he were any other person, he would most likely be incredibly exhausted, but his face seemed resilient and fervently working on the task.
This was because Vairvec was of a race that was very good at staying through the night or even not sleeping for many days to travel through the darkness, Night Elves.
Night Elves were part of the Elf Family and were one of the few rare races that were even accepted within Bestellen's extremist factions, although they were still superficially discriminated by the common folk, so they often lived by themselves inside of their tribes and settlements underground or in special miasma forests.
Just like Vairvec's ski color, Night Elves had dark skin, almost as if it were of the color of charcoal, with a beautiful glossy luster that gave them a beautiful glow below the moonlight.
Just like Vairvec, Night Elves had slim complexions and were rather tall, sometimes even taller than the most known elf, the Light Elf.
He had a slender figure and a very handsome face, with glowing emerald eyes and long silvery-white hair, which shined brightly every time he moved around, he had sharp, and long ears, way longer than the conventional elf.
The size of the ears of the Night Elves was bigger than any other elf, and this was because they used their ears to guide themselves in the darkness.
Vairvec wore a simple yet well-tailored black wizard vest, with long sleeves that went well with his sharp eyes and very serious face, he was a man who could be considered middle-aged for Night Elven Standards, who had a life span of 500 years, as he was just reaching his 220 years of age.
Although he was a strong man, strong enough to make the Adventurer Guild himself, whose strength and magic power could be considered comparable to an S-Rank Adventurer but that hidden his strength as an A-Rank Adventurer so he would not be given all the responsibility of the nation by the aristocrats, Vairvec was going through a challenge that was not about killing monsters.
Paperwork!
He was still relentlessly working in paperwork, and through his long years, he had forged his body and soul to do it incredibly efficiently, to the point that he was able to pull all-nighters for over a week to finish the paperwork in time record!
"Hmm… Two hundred more…! This is a big purchase… But I must do it!" he thought, even to the point of activating his Limit Break Skill!
However, as he was working diligently, he felt the presence of something strange…
His high senses and powerful Skills made him wary of this.
It was as if someone equal or even stronger than him had suddenly emerged out of thin air, and was right here, right below his feet on the first floor!
"An S-Rank Adventurer?" he thought.
S-Rank Adventurers were incredibly rare in the whole continent, seeing one in here would truly be something almost impossible, as they were so famous that he would most likely know about it before he even came here.
However, the presence only intensified, as he felt that they were two!
Vairvec's Danger Perception and Detection Skills were ringing alarms inside of his head, this was dangerous!
He needed to do something!
One of such beings was even aggressively showing off its Aura and was… hitting someone barely at F-Rank… Until it stopped and went back inside the building.
Vairvec was several times about to go down and confront these people with such strength, but suddenly, their aura dissipated, as if they had never existed.
"Was this… my imagination? Perhaps my mind is playing me tricks…" he sighed, as he drank coffee and resumed his work, only for it to be interrupted!
"Lord Vairvec! Lord Vairvec!" cried the dwarf boy, quickly running into the second floor, and opening the office of the Adventurer Guild Master, Lord Vairvec Sinvru.
"What is it Potin? I am very busy as of now, as you can see, I still have to fill over two hundred documents for trading business, we are selling a big batch of materials and we cannot simply slack off all the time! Now state what you-"
"T-There are two… two people with… VIP Cards from the Merchant Guild!" said the dwarf boy, named Potin.
"…VIP Members, here?!" asked Vairvec in disbelief.
