TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 20
It
all started in the commercial district at night, filled with lights.
After
the sun had set and darkness had enveloped Arcazam, this commercial district
was the only place where the lights shone brightly, the streets were crowded
with people, and the hustle and bustle did not stop.
At
night, traveling merchants and adventurers would come here to buy alcohol, and
the incident took place in a place that looked different from daytime.
According
to the testimonies of the people who were there, it all started with a trivial
quarrel at the beginning.
"I'll
bet such a pampered boy will be running away in a blink of an eye when he has
to fight a demon beast."
A
group of what appeared to be adventurers sneered at a boy wearing the uniform
of Solminati Academy. The five or so adventurers in the group chimed in with a
few mocking words for the student.
According
to the story, they were D to E rank adventurers.
For
them, Solminati Academy graduates, who would be chosen as executives in their
countries upon graduation and who would quickly make a name for themselves as
adventurers, must have been an eyesore.
However,
what they were saying was just nonsense that those who had enrolled in
Solminati Academy did not need to hear.
It
wasn't easy to graduate from Solminati Academy. The school attracted many
talented students, so it was relatively easy to get in, but less than 10% of
the students could grow to be able to actually play an active role on the front
lines.
In
short, what these adventurers were saying was nothing more than mere jealousy.
"Hmph……"
The
student responded to the adventurers' comment with a sneering smile.
It
was obvious that he was trying to provoke them, but there was no way that the
inexperienced adventurers, who were drunk and easily offended, would put up
with such an expression.
In
an instant, the adventurers' blood rushed to their heads and they attacked the
student while throwing abusive words.
The
inside of the tavern was immediately filled with shouting and noises, and a
huge brawl broke out with chairs, food on plates, bottles, and cups flying
around.
The
shopkeeper panicked and called for help from the military police who were
patrolling the area, but when they arrived, they found the adventurers already
knocked down and crawling on the ground.
Some
of the crouching adventurers had their legs and hands twisted in strange
directions, and their groans of pain echoed horribly in the tavern.
The
military police officers immediately
tried to capture the adventurers and the student who had caused the commotion,
but the student resisted, wondering why he had to be caught.
He
threw a nearby chair at them, silencing one of them. While the military police officers were faltered, he fled.
The
military police officers immediately
pursued the student, but as he fled, the student knocked down the military
police officers one by one
and disappeared.
