บท 8: A Horny Dragon And A Frustrated Rabbit.
"Here's your license, Mr. Zenith."
A female clerk smiled politely at Adam as she handed his brand-new license over to him.
As soon as Adam passed the hunter test the group of four bid their farewells to each other, and he and Rumi moved towards the desk area right outside the examination rooms, where many employees could be seen moving around as they provided documents and verbal instructions to newbie hunters that had passed their test.
Since he wanted to get an independent hunter permit too, which would allow him to enter dungeons freely without the need of affiliating to a hunter guild, he was instructed to go to an office located at a different section of the hall, where a single employee was already waiting for him.
Here, he would receive his hunter's license along with the permit, if the latter was approved.
The office's door frame read: 'Hunter's Affairs.'
As he received his license, he returned the smile and thanked the woman in front of him.
"Thank you, sweetheart."
Since Rumi was outside of the room and Adam had already bid his farewell to the other two, there was only him and the clerk in the room.
For some reason, he was feeling a bit flirty.
After hearing his sweet words, the clerk, a mature woman in her thirties, couldn't help but blush upon making eye contact with Adam's domineering gaze.
The aura she was perceiving from him was nothing short of predatory, as only one look was enough to make her shiver.
But not from fear.
Her womanly instincts were screaming at her, begging to be ravaged by this young man.
"Miss? Are you feeling alright?"
Adam thought at first that he had something in his face but eventually concluded that that wasn't the case, especially when his eyes caught on to something very interesting.
"O-oh my apologies! I zoned out for a moment there."
The employee looked around her desk full of embarrassment until she found what she needed.
"Here. This envelope contains the letter of approval for independent hunting as you requested."
She tried to act professionally, but the remains of her previous blush were ever present on her face.
"Thank you once again, dear."
Flinching at the way she was called, the woman nodded with a strained smile, attempting to hide any sign of embarrassment.
"Though, I have to say…"
Adam leaned over on her desk to collect the envelope.
But he didn't stop there...
As soon as his hand made contact with the document, the young man leaned even closer toward the older lady, and before she could react, his lips were mere centimeters away from her right ear.
"I never expected the Hunter's Association president to be into cosplay~"
Suddenly, any trace of embarrassment vanished from the mature woman's face.
"You…how did you know?"
Adam shook his head dismissively with a mocking smirk.
"Hey, miss clerk, shouldn't you be more formal when addressing a client ~?"
Slowly moving away from her ear, he came to face her at a dangerously close distance, their noses almost touching.
"That's not polite, is it?"
Since it was only the two of them in the office, Adam didn't have to be afraid of anyone seeing this.
"If you know who I am, I recommend you stop messing around."
The room started to shake slightly from the pressure emanating from the woman, and her hair started to float as if it had a life of its own.
"How did you figure it out?"
" Mmh~ That's a secret!"
Adam sent her a wink and immediately leaned back, avoiding a face slap in the process.
The clerk's blush had returned but now some hints of anger alongside her embarrassment could be observed.
"Don't mess with-"
Before the woman could finish her sentence though, Adam started talking.
"Well at first, I only had a slight suspicion."
"Why would a random employee hand over an already signed document when I just submitted my instructor's approval letter?
Unless you have some power in the association that is not possible, since you would need to contact a higher-up to get the document ready."
The woman was taken aback by Adam's sudden response, to the point where she ignored his tactless interruption.
She wasn't expecting him to explain himself when she asked for it, but even then, his answer did not feel satisfactory just yet.
"You expect me to believe that is all there is to it?"
Seeing the sly smile on the young man's face was more than enough to confirm her claim.
"Spill it, boy."
"Well, if you are going to be like that, I guess I have no choice but to say it ~"
"I'm 5 seconds away from beating you u- "
"Your scent."
"Eh?"
She wasn't sure what surprised her more, the audacity of cutting her sentence for the second time or the comment he just made about her scent.
"W-what do you mean!?"
'Do I smell bad !?'
She sneakily took a sniff of herself, but nothing seemed out of place.
" You smell just like your daughter. I happen to have a very good sense of smell you see."
The woman looked surprised by the sudden revelation before a small frown morphed on her average yet alluring face.
" You know Erza."
Adam smiled as he nodded his head, confirming the woman's claim.
" She happens to be close friends with my adoptive sister, so she's been around my parent's house a lot."
'To think that even 'that Erza' was part of my life without me knowing it...'
Adam was still in the process of getting used to the idea of personally knowing all these fictional characters from his previous life. Since a part of him only saw them as 'people he knew', it was kind of confusing.
Defeated, the "employee" sighed before a magic circle manifested above her head. Then, in a matter of seconds, her whole demeanor and appearance morphed in front of Adam's eyes.
Her short brown hair changed into a long scarlet red. Her average face became beautiful and the allure that surrounded her before was multiplied a hundreds-fold.
Adam felt lost just looking at her curves, which were further accentuated by the tight red dress she was wearing.
' I don't know why she tested me but so be it. Though I have to say, looking at her info tired me more than I expected.'
Thinking this, Adam's eyes flashed a golden hue for less than a millisecond.
[ Target's Name: Irene Belserion
Age: 435
Gender: Female
Race: Dragon
Rank: SSS Rank. (A step from ascending to the next rank.)
State: Curious, Aroused, Slightly Suspicious.]
' Well, she is an SSS Rank. If she is as strong as she was portrayed in 'Fairy Tail', then it makes sense that I had to spend so much energy just to look at her information.'
Having this thought, the need of growing stronger and level up became more prominent in Adam's mind.
' I'm jumping in a dungeon as soon as I'm done here.'
" You are as cheeky as your mother was, I can see you took after her."
Coming out of his delusions, Adam focused his gaze on Irene.
Hearing what she said put a smile on his face, after all, it was only after he regained his past life's memories that he started acting more like his deceased mother.
Before that, he was told by many that he resembled his father.
" So, you knew my mother?"
" Yeah, that brat and I completed many missions together back in the days, when we were both interns."
'...'
Adam smiled outwardly but his brain had short-circuited after what Irene said.
' You are more than 4 centuries old, woman. How could you be an intern at the same time as my mother?!'
For some reason, the older woman had a sudden urge to punch Adam in the face, but she cleared this thought away as soon as it came.
" Before we keep moving away from the topic, I need to discuss a few things with you."
Nodding his head absentmindedly, Adam gave the green light for her to continue.
" I disguised myself since I wanted to confirm it was you. Before today, I thought that the child from Zenith's family was a normal human, and as I can see that doesn't seem to be the case anymore."
'She must have been pretty close to Mother if she looked after this issue herself.'
Adam thought as he continued to listen to her.
"Your powers picked my interest as soon as I saw your exam's footage. Neither Rose nor James had a power like yours, not to mention that you awakened too late, in comparison to others."
With a swift hand movement, the table that was separating them vanished out of existence. Then, with slow steps and rhythmical hip swings that almost hypnotized him, she moved toward Adam, stopping right in front of him.
Looking down, since he was taller, Adam could easily take a peek at the older woman's cleavage. A sudden rush of adrenaline overwhelmed his senses, only to calm down almost instantly a second later, thanks to his new power [Calm Mind].
' I need to do something about these urges as soon as possible...'
" My point is..."
Coming even closer than before, Adam could now feel Irene's full scent invading his nostrils.
" You are very interesting, boy."
'*Gulp*'
" And as such, I want to make you a proposition."
Adam's eyes never left hers, a sign of strength that she liked.
Everybody in Star City knew who Irene Belserion was, so showing some sort of fear was to be expected from an F Rank newbie Hunter like Adam.
Yet, his green eyes showed a maturity that far surpassed that of a normal youth, who stared down at her without flinching.
And the fact that he even had the courage of checking her out placed her opinion of him even higher.
" I would like you to work for the hunter association."
Adam sighed internally since he could see this coming. The moment Irene showed interest in him it was sealed that she would want him to work for her.
Sadly, for Irene that is, Adam had no interest in working for anyone at the moment.
" I am extremely happy about the invitation, but I have my reasons to work solo for now."
Irene frown in disappointment and was about to back away before asking him to leave when she suddenly felt two manly hands holding her hips firmly.
Before she could reprimand the youth's audacity, a whisper that sent shivers to her very soul entered her left ear gently. But, this time, the stimulation was incomparable to before.
" Of course, depending on the rewards, I can be flexible~"
Irene's legs trembled frenetically when he suddenly applied more pressure on her hips. She was a mess down there at this point.
As a dragon, her lifespan was monstrous, and she had already lived a life that far surpassed any other mortal. But even then, before Adam's hands, she could do nothing but squirm like a young girl who had yet to taste the forbidden fruit of lust.
Trying to reason, she attempted to stop the young man, as she knew there would be no stopping her if he kept on provoking her.
"W-wait, we j-just met. A-and I am too old for us to-"
"Kidding~"
When Irene looked up, Adam was already by the door, about to leave.
" I don't want to work for anyone at the moment, Irene. But if you ever need any help don't hesitate to contact me. I may be weak now, but that will change soon."
A turmoil of emotions invaded the Dragon's heart. Others may not be able to see it, but she could feel that Adam was different on a completely different level.
"Until then, see ya~"
With that, the young hunter left the room, as Irene stared blankly at the door.
" Didn't he... just play with me?"
Soon after, the image of a beautiful woman with red hair like hers and beautiful green eyes came to her mind.
" Rose, he really takes after you."
.....
" Adam, what took you so long?!"
Rumi, who was sitting on a couch by the waiting area, came rushing at Adam and jumped on him, her breast covering his face and suffocating him.
" Sorry, sorry, they needed to talk to me about something."
*Sniff*
" A woman, uh?"
Adam smiled awkwardly; his face still covered by Rumi's breasts.
" Correct, now, do you mind coming down? I'm very fond of your affection, but this public display of intimacy is not a kink of mine."
After a few seconds of staring down at him with judgmental eyes, Rumi landed back on the ground, before she found her way next to Adam and held his hand.
Shaking his head in defeat he led the way toward the elevator.
....
*Usagiyama's Residence. *
" Are you sure that you want to go alone?"
After leaving the Hunter Association's quarters and having some lunch with Rumi, Adam decided that it was time to visit a dungeon.
He was itching to level up.
Rumi, on the other hand, was unexpectedly worried about him.
'So, she can make that face too.'
To say that she looked beautiful at the moment would be an understatement.
As she looked at Adam tenderly with a dejected pout, her bunny ears pointing downwards, Adam felt a strong urge to pat her head...
And so, he did.
"Mmh~"
A blissful smile made its presence known on Rumi's face as soon as Adam's hand landed on her head.
"I will go with you next week, when you get a free day, ok?"
"Promise?"
" I promise."
With that, Adam leaned over and kissed Rumi.
Now you may wonder.
Was it on the cheek?
On the forehead perhaps?
It would have to be one of the two right? After all, Adam planned to take his time with Rumi instead of rushing it.
"Mmmh!~"
But well, plans are prone to change...
Right?
(A/N: No they are not, he is just horny.)
As they separated, a thin string of saliva momentarily connected their lips.
Rumi gasped rapidly with an intoxicated expression, she was ready to mate here and now.
Sadly, for her, Adam had other plans in mind.
Licking his lips seductively, he took a few steps back and...
" See you next week, Rumi~."
Vanished.
"..."
The bunny stood absentmindedly in place, looking blankly at the spot where Adam was standing at a few seconds ago.
' I have to change my panties...'
Thankfully, she was already home.

A/N: I've been busy, too busy, and will continue to be so for the following two weeks so don't expect any new chapters by then.
This chapter was a bit rushed, and it's far from the best I could do, but I didn't want to spend a week without uploading anything. Feel free to mark any mistakes or provide any suggestions.
Peace out.
