We left the guild to do the quest. So we didn't loiter around the city. There is still time to check out the city later in the evening as daytime is for adventuring.
When we left the guild, we felt that someone was following us but that didn't stop us.
We knew that the adventurers were not disciplined people. They are a bunch of ragtags, who have grown in places where strength was right every time, no matter what.
We couldn't exactly blame them for what.
Having grown up in such environments, they would do what they feel as long as they don't suffer any consequences.
Attacking other adventurers or even people is prohibited but how would the guild know, if there was no one to speak about this?
Yes, there might be artifacts that can decipher what happened but the cost of using those wouldn't be low. They could use someone with skills that can see moments before the death of a person, like how the Royal Academy saw that idiot's death.
What was his name?
I forgot that. It has been too long and that doesn't matter anyway.
Anyhow, people like that are very rare. So, the cost of hiring someone with such a skill would also be costly.
Unless the one that died is important, the guild wouldn't be willing to pay such a cost. There are many adventurers dying every now and then, especially newbies.
If the guild concentrates on finding the culprits, they would be at a loss. The guild after all is a business and the motto of every business is to gain profits as much as possible.
Of course, if there are too many deaths, then the guild would definitely check that out to see if someone is deliberately causing these deaths. Having too many dead in a short time is not good for the guild's business.
No one would be willing to join the guild if there were too many deaths and they did nothing about that. Though there would be some losses if they waste money on investigating, in the long term there are benefits.
So, they could only do that.

We three are newbies and for many of the bastard adventurers, we are easy targets to pick.
As long as they don't leave any clues, even the guild can't do anything to them, but they are forgetting something.

They have no info regarding us, just our names and classes that we wrote during the registration. Even that is normally kept confidential but many could have seen what we writing and heard details when we were speaking with the receptionist.
Even if that was the case, that would be it. They know nothing about us.
So, attacking us is a stupid thing but I know what prompted them to think they can get away from this, me.
I am like twenty and those twins are in their late twenties but girls especially awakeners tend to appear younger than they are. If one looks at them, no one would think that they are older than me. Even if they hear that, they might assume only a year or two.
Speaking of that, I don't know their exact ages but my knowledge of Earth Women kept me from asking that question.
On Earth, I learned that Women hate when others ask them about their age, especially when the question is posed by men of similar age or lower age than them.
I heard that many who asked those questions have paid a price for that.
Knowing that, I kept my mouth shut but I made an assumption of their ages because I knew them for five years and they had to be at least graduated to qualify to be able to teach us.
This is why I think that they are in their late twenties and that me being modest. they could be much older than that but no way I would bring such a question.

Those idiots thought that we were easy targets.
Also, they should have observed our costumes. They are better than what those adventurers wore.
In a small kingdom like Glessaria, only rich and nobles can afford such clothes but that might not be the case in the empire. There are many who wear clothes that are of similar standard to us.
Of course, not all people in the city wore clothes that are of similar quality as ours but there are many.
The empire is vast and the resources here are also vast. So, people that would be considered as a minor merchants or minor nobles should possess wealth comparable to top powerhouses of the kingdom.
Young and rich, they are the best targets for greedy folk.
Normally young masters have secret guards protecting them. It was something that they should have thought about. If they didn't, then they were the worst of the worst.
If they thought about the matter, then they would only attack us after they made sure that there was no one protecting us.

People like are not good and letting them live means there would be many innocents that die but as I said, I am not a saint.
As long as they don't make their move, I wouldn't attack and would make sure neither of the twins would make a move.
Even if we knew the characters of these people, we can't attack them without probable cause or we would end up in unnecessary trouble.
Of course, these people would one day cause trouble for me and the twins. It would happen sooner or later. So, it's best to remove such future problems now.
I have a plan to make them move against us first. As long as they did, no matter what, we would be out of trouble.
Before we left the city, I told the twins as our performance once we left the city is the main aspect of the plan to lure them into a fight. If they feel anything wrong, they might not take the bait.
