Chapter 153 - Loots
Chapter 153 - Loots
The two didn't bother asking his real name. Both of them wanted him to tell it of his own accord.
Since he was already fine and could not feel any abnormalities in his body, he decided to leave the medical center.
Together with the two girls, they were walking towards the Inn where most of the finalists who came from a farther town were currently staying.
"So there's a banquet." He said after hearing Ella's words.
A banquet, he only heard about it but never been in one before.
But based on what he knows. It was an occasion where people were going to meet up with each other while wearing grande dresses.
.Foods were served for free and everyone could enjoy the melodious sonata. It was also a good place to meet with other influential personalities.
It could also be said that it was where the most higher families could be seen as chilling and chit-chatting with others.
In actuality, it depends on what kind of banquet. Yman was in the dark of this kind of occasion.
"I see," was the only word left from his mouth.
"What a boring reaction…" Ella mumbled.
"Hah~! I'm no good with a banquet also," Cinder, who was on the other side of him, sighed and mumbled.
Their shoulders were aligned with each other as the three walked side by side.
"By the way Miss Cinder, how are the others?" He asked.
"Aah—!" Cinder did not expect his question and had her mouth left open.
"...they were fine. Tiafel and the other two were defeated in the third round of elimination. And my brother and I were defeated at the finals," she said after a long pause.
Cinder also said that the one who defeated her was the girl from their Canine Sect.
Yman remembered seeing the girl. It was the girl with silver hair. She was the quiet girl who stayed at Harou's side.
Ember on the other hand was defeated by Gilion. Then Gilion was defeated by Roman. And Harou was defeated by Hilion.
Lyka also was defeated by Gath Rainripper. After defeating Lyka, Gath's next opponent was supposed to be Hilion. But for some reason, he did not show up.
He took a glance at Cinder. Yman knew that she wasn't weak but her flame was good against undead and demons. Although she has a Xelestial Beast, she could not yet control the power of it.
"Hm, I see," again, the only words left from his mouth.
Cinder frowned at his disinterested behavior.
He glanced above and saw many stars twinkling like little jewels. Sometimes, transport birds and little sprites would pass now and then.
At the moment Cinder was wearing a navy blue dress. And on the other side of him, the artist Ella was wearing a white dress. Yman thought that these two were of high standard beauties.
But this kind of thought only lingered for a second in his mind as he wasn't the type of person who likes indulging himself in unnecessary things that weren't helpful to his goal.
In any case, he felt some malicious intent.
Ahead of them,
"Hey Regor, look at some beauties! Hehe," pointed to the person who was holding a bottle in his hand. Together with him were 4 other people.
The person named Regor glanced ahead and, "hehe, so white and looks fresh," said Regor while wetting his lips as he looked intimately at the two beauty together with a handsome young man.
Seeing the young man, Regor thought that it was another rich kid who loved spending his pennies with beautiful ladies.
"Tsk! Let's kick that kid's ass. Then the girls will be ours," he whispered after clicking his tongue.
"Ehehe, aren't we lucky tonight?" Said the person next to him.
"Sure we are!"
"Let's go!" Urged Regor to the friends then they ambered towards the three people ahead.
They intentionally blocked their path.
"Hey hey, kid! Scram!" Directly said Regor.
They also noticed a small object sitting on the young man's shoulder.
"Fufu, ain't that a human's toy?" Asked one of Regor's friends in a whisper while pointing to Sistela.
"I heard that this toy of humans could make them nearly immortal as long as they are in resonance with it."
"Tsk! Only gays would use it! This man is a sissy who is afraid to die that's why he's using that toy."
Well, it is unusual to see an Encan person using this human toy.
"Look, that little bird looks cute! Maybe it tastes good if we grill it," said the other one while pointing to the Xelestial Fire Bird that was sitting on Cinder's head all this time.
In any case, the girls in front of them were out of ordinary beauty. Being born into a rich family was a blessing! Even the beauties like these two were easily lured. They thought. That's why they despised young noblemen. They could get most of what they want.
While people like them had to be content with gays, oldies, and fatty!
What an unfair world they live in!
Nonetheless, tonight's gonna be a goodnight!
Regor and the others further licked their lips as wild thought began in their minds.
Cinder twitched her brows. And Ella had a cold and stern face. For some reason, they felt awful at these groups of thugs.
However, the young man seemingly did not hear Regor's words. He was staring at them with no reaction on his face. A second later, his mouth slightly bent to both sides.
"Hey, kid! Did you not hear me? Or you wanted to die?! Huh!" He once again called and warned the wimp. He intentionally increased the volume of his voice to intimidate the young man.
He even took a dagger while playing it in his fingers and summoned mana to reinforce the dagger and increase the sharpness to smite his enemy.
Finally, the young man made a reaction. He narrowed his eyes.
But…!
'The heck with this guy! Still on his feet! This person is challenging my patience,' Regor thought as he noticed the young man had no plan to escape.
"Ahah, so that's what you want, huh!" Said Regor while rotating the dagger within his fingers.
The two girls beside the young man were raising their brows. But it only added more allure to them.
"Regor! Beat him already!"
Regor friends were urging him. They were depending on him because Regor was a Star-7 magician. It was equivalent to a LEVEL 7 human magician.
Then one of his friends noticed something. "Wait, these girls look familiar to me…" said one of Regor's friends.
But it came so late. Because Regor already came for a stab.
His movement was agile. Just what you would expect for someone who wielded a lighter weapon.
He leaped forward like a shadow and yelled, "You won't scram!? Then di—(Woosh!) Ngh!!!"
However, before the stab landed on the young man. No. Before even Regor finished his words, something went flying and directly went inside his mouth.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Regor came to a stop and coughed while his palm was covering his mouth.
After a couple of coughs, something came out of it and landed on his palm.
"The heck, what is this?" He mumbled.
The thing that came out of his mouth was yellowish. And it looks like it's made of white ceramic. Or more like a tooth? But bigger? Regor's thought.
"Pfft!"
A held laugh came out from the young man. Regor glanced at him with a twitching face.
"That's a rat's tooth," Cinder and Ella felt a chill upon hearing Crimson say it. They immediately wanted to vomit but they were able to hold the urge. They could not let undignified behavior happen.
They both stare at Crimson with ashen faces. But the person was unconcerned by how they look at the moment.
"Hehe," a chuckle was heard by all of them.
A moment later,
PAK PAK PAK PAK PAK PAK!
Everyone was beaten up into a pulp. Regor could not even notice what was hitting his face. Was it a kick? Or a punch? For some reason, the moment it landed, he already saw some stars rotating above his head.
And his late grandma and grandpa with angel wings came to welcome him. But he refused saying, 'sorry grandma, sorry grandpa I shall refuse the invitation until I found a real girl for myself.'
Pak!
He lost consciousness once he felt a strong force on his butt. But before his consciousness faded. He saw his group of friends. Their posture was of that as the frog who had their faces kissing the ground and their butt slightly raised. And that person was kicking their asses!
'What the hell!' He wanted to yell. Not just that he took everyone's spatial ring! 'This man was a shameless robber!'
(X_X) Regor fainted.
Ella looked away from Crimson. She wondered if he liked kicking someone's butt. He also did it to an adventurer before.
Cinder, on the other hand, looked around them. She sighed and asked, "Crimson, what are you doing?"
"Ha?" He was a little bit confused about what she meant.
"I mean, I understand that you are annoyed at them and want to kick their asses. But what's the need for stealing their spatial rings?" Cinder asked in concern.
"Eh!?" But it only made him further confused, then said, "wasn't it only natural to get my loots after defeating some thugs?" He said innocently.
Ella and Cinder didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this person's reply.
Well, it was one of his sources of income after coming into this empire. Good thing that some thugs occasionally pick a fight with him. Because of it he survived living in this empire alone.
'I can't believe it! He just applied VRMMORPG's rule in real life!' Cinder thought. Well, inside the game, thugs are common mobs that drop loot.
"In any case, I think we shall go now! Before someone reported about someone stealing someone's property!"
She was worried to find herself in jail for being the robber's cohort!
"Ahaha…" Ella laughed descendingly with a blank face.
Am I safe to be with this person's protection? Now she doubted.
Regardless, his strength could not be measured by ordinary means. A low-level person that could easily defeat a higher level enemy. Such a person was unheard of even in this empire.
They continued walking towards the Inn. With Crimson having a big smile on his face.
'Lucky, thousands of Silver Royal Coins are left on their spatial rings, together with some Rare Class equipment. Looks like those guys were living as a thief also,' he thought.
Without them knowing, one little troublemaker was puzzled all this time, <Eh? Wasn't it natural to steal someone's property? Especially from bad people?> Sistela who was having question marks above her tiny head asked in a confused face. While putting his little finger below her mouth.
Ella and Cinder stared at Crimson with demonic eyes while asking, "What did you teach to your partner? Huh?" They both questioned him.
A bead of sweat appeared behind his head while scratching his face.
"It was Sistela who's my teacher, you know."
He mumbled. But none of them were able to hear him as he was looking away from them.
