70% Knowledge is the best Skill for Isekai [Remake] / Chapter 12: Silver Moon Wolf [Edited]

章節 12: Silver Moon Wolf [Edited]

In the Mystic Forest, somewhere in the outer area, I am walking along with Rutelae. Yesterday I received a news that my rank as an adventure went up, from D to C rank.

Honestly I didn't expect that to happen so fast in just twelve days. I think it's because of the multiple hard quests that I completed. Since most of those quests that I took were very hard to complete, and takes alot of time.

When Tina announced my rank up, some adventures began looking at me, even Ade and Davy, along with their party members came to congratulate me. Some of them asked how I was able to do that, which I gave them the answer, and Tina was there to help me explain to them, she told them that I am an expert when it comes to anything related to the Mystic Forest.

Pretty sure rumors will spread fast. Now that I think about it, doesn't this means that many adventures will come to me, asking my help for quests that are related to the Mystic Forest in the near future?

<Ding!>

I see. That wasn't my plan, but at least it will help me form many connections with the people of the Saif.

I looked to my side where Rutelae is flying next to me, with a hamburger in his hands, while reading the holographic screen. Six days ago he finished reading the "History of Tera" short version. Tera is the name of this world or this planet that the people use.

Next thing I was able to invite him to Senoki's Library so he can read any books he wants to know. Unsurprisingly for me, he chose books about foods of Tera. And not just Tera, but also the foods from my previous world Earth. He even ask me to make them for him, which I didn't mind.

And from that day, he became obsessed with all the Earth's food and its history.

Really, this little guy is kinda spoiled. He only eats, sleep, and reads books. It's a good thing I didn't give him access to the books using videos, or else he will use it for 28 hours.

[Is there something wrong?] He asked me when he realized I was staring at him, with a half eyes.

[...It's nothing.]

[Really? But why are you looking at me like that?]

[...I was thinking of petting you, if you had a fur like a cute kitty or a puppy.]

[...]

[What's that supposed to mean!? Hey wait, answer me.]

I chuckled in my mind. I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to pet him if he had some fur. Spirit takes many shapes and forms, from animals, object, spiritual, to humanoid. I did asked him why he choose to take that pokemon form, and he said that it was the form of the first spirit of protection who took a form of a giant dragon, with a large wing ears, which explains alot.

Spirits when born they take the shape of a small glowing ball. And when they grow up and evolve, they are able to take a shape that they want. Rutelae already finished his first evolution, and the second evolution will allow him to take another shape, and he will be able to shapeshift into two form.

'I hope he doesn't take a weird form in the future.'

<Ding!>

'Hm? An information-'

[Pffft!]

I spit some saliva when I received the message. He is really going for a weird form?! A humanoid form with a Very Long Ears!

I really need to help this guy.

...

Forty minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

[We are here.]

[Hm? I don't see any Ylzzig Rabbits around here.]

[They are a head of us, about thirty one meters away.]

[Really? Then why are we stopping here?]

[Just wait and see.]

I closed my eyes, and concentrated in manipulating the mana inside me. What am I doing you ask? Well, I'm trying to Change my presence.

First, release the mana and cover them all on my body. Next use Space magic and Reality manipulation magic to manipulate the presence of my existence around me.

<Information installing: Complete!>

By using Senoki's guidance on how to do that, I'm able to change my presence to something else.

<Ding!>

<A new Skill has been created. Presence Changer.>

I open my eyes and looked at my hands. I could feel that my presence has been changed into a rock.

[X-Xora...is...is that really y-you?]

I looked at Rutelae who had a pale expression, and some fear in his eyes.

[Yes, it's still me.]

[W-what happened to you!? Why can't I feel you as if your dead!? What did you do!?]

He began shouting in a panic.

[Calm down calm down, I can explain.]

I understand why would he had this kind of reaction, I too would be freaking out if he did the same. Wait, is he... crying?

....

After my explanation, he finally calm down.

[I see...]

I smiled at my companion who was worried about me. He looked very cute~.

I checked my new Skill that I acquired.

Presence Changer. It allows me to change my presence into anything I want. Into a tree, a rock, a wind, an animal, anything, as long as I know how. It's the perfect skill for an assassin and a hunter. Better than a skill that hides your presence. Those who are very good at hiding their presence, or are able to conceal it, they can still be detected using magic, spells, high senses, or a powerful skill. That's why the best way to conceal your presence is by changing it. That's what Senoki told me.

And the reason why Rutelae was freaking out, because he wasn't able to sense my presence or rather, my life force anymore. He could only sense me as an empty shell, like a dead corpse, since I changed my presence into a rock.

[Come on, I want to try this new skill on the rabbits.]

[Okay.]

Although Rutelae wasn't able to sense my presence, he still was able to tell if I am real, using the link of the Partner contract.

I walked forward until I was able to see seven Ylzzig Rabbit in front of me. The distance between us and them was about twenty meters.

I activate my skill and changed my presence into a forest tree, the same as the trees around me.

[Stay here.] I told Rutelae, and he nodded.

'Activate sound manipulation magic.'

Using sound magic to cut off the sounds around my feets, so that they can't hear me, I began walking towards them slowly.

*Ptt*  *Ptt* *Ptt*

After reaching four meters, I stopped and began observing them. Ylzzig rabbits, unlike the normal rabbits they have a pointy horn on their forehead, and long tail like the cats.

They are wild beast that eats plants... and meat. But not any meat, a dead body's meat. Just like the crow and vultures.

*Snap!*

[[!!!]]

I snapped my fingers to make a small sound, and they all stop and turn their heads towards me. I kept looking at them, and they were doing the same, with their ears moving.

[...]

Twenty seconds later they all went back doing their thing, completely ignoring my figure that is in front of them.

'This is so funny! They can not tell if I am real or not!'

To them, they see me as a weird looking Tree!

I then began moving my arms up slowly, trying to see if they will react or not. Their ears twitched a little, but they all ignored me.

'It's time.'

I used mana to create six ice needles between my fingers and waited. I looked at my targets and concentrate my mind, as I was going to throw the needles at them.

[...]

Right now I'm sweating. What are the chances of killing them all without missing?

<Ding!>

<23%>

Your kidding? Then what about if I use mind acceleration?

<100%>

Tch! Of course.

I concentrated more and waited...

Now!

*Throw!*

*Jab - jab!* ×6

Six of them got stabbed, and two were able to survive the attack but they both got a fatal wound. The last one which I didn't attack because I was only able to hold six needles, it was preparing to run but I was able to create another needle right after I threw the other six, and thrown it straight to the last one.

*Stab!*

[Yes!] I clenched my fist with a smile.

Five killing blow and two fatal wound. Those who got injured are unable to move and were bleeding to death because of the poison. Although I wasn't able to do it perfectly but still, that's a great progress.

Rutelae then came next to me.

[Is it done?]

[Yeah, let's move on.]

I placed the bodies in my ring, and walked to the next target.

[Xora, I was wondering, since Senoki is your first skill, doesn't that means you have two skills now?]

[Actually, I have three skills.]

[What!?]

[I got my second skill during my training in the Laboratory.]

Yeah. I think I forgot to mention about it, but at that time, I was too lazy to explain to you guys. Sorry about that.

Now that I remember, I think I said it was a secret or something. In the 10th day, chapter five if I'm not mistaken.

Welp, there is no problem in revealing it now. My second skill that I got was "VPCT" virtual projection combat training, for short. Yeah, weird name, just ignore it.

During my training in the Laboratory, Senoki informed me that I can train my martial arts much better by using a virtual holographic partner. And that's by creating a new program/skill in my brain, or rather add it to my soul. With the help of Senoki and using her full knowledge on how to create it, I was able to acquire a new skill which allows me to create virtual images in my eyes, and also sending the sound, and all five senses to my brain to make it more realistic. It's alot similar to the "Augma" device from SAO, where you can bring the virtual world to the real world, and be able to experience its feelings.

After explaining to Rutelae, he was able to get it.

[This is giving me a headache... Just how are you able to get more than two skills? As far as I know, the people of this world can only get one skill. Two skills is already the maximum.]

[Pfft. Yeah, that's what the higher intellect people think. But the truth is, anyone can get Skills more than two, there is no limit in getting a Skill, which is also same to the Abilities.]

[How come?]

[Skill is similar to Abilities, there are no limits in acquiring them. The only difference is that the Skill is more unique, hard, and difficult to get. Abilities can be acquired by doing a certain job multiple times, and then becoming very good at doing it, like cooking, fishing, swordsmanship, archery, martial arts, etc.]

[As for Skill, they are more different because it can't be acquired by a normal way like the abilities. It can only be acquired by some conditions. And those conditions can sometimes be very hard or impossible, or involve some miracles. A good example is my skill Senoki, knowledge of the world. I got her after being reincarnated in to this world.]

[Then what about the other two skills?]

[Those I was able to get because I have Senoki, and an AI computer brain.]

Now that I think about it, I was lucky to choose the skill first before the race. Have I chosen another race other than homunculus before the skill, I would have been having a very hard time.

[I see. Your teacher is very scary.]

[... Senoki says Thank you for the compliment.]

....

We continue moving forward, searching for any new targets to do more test on my new skill. We run into a group of squirrel, and then some boars, lizards, bears, and lastly some big birds. The result was very good.

Right after that, something unexpected happened.

<Ding!>

[Hm!?]

My eyes widen from the information that I received.

[What's wrong Xora?]

[We got company.]

*Rustle*

Something came out from the bushes. It was a big wolf with silver fur and multiple scratch, wounds and bite Mark's all over its body. Its red eyes was glaring at me specifically, with bloodlust. There was rage, anger, vengeance, and some joy?

[Yo, long time no see.] I wave my hand at it with a smile.

[Grrrrrrrrrr!] It growl in anger.

The wolf that was standing in front of me was the same one that I met, two weeks ago. It grew a little bigger than the last time I saw it... and stronger too.

<Information installing...>

<Complete!>

It seems after I left it unconscious, It became more angrier and humiliated for losing all his underlings and for being weak. It plan to get revenge on me, and began hunting down many wild beast to get stronger. Alone, in the middle area, it was hunting, killing, and eating. Getting injured and wounded after fighting multiple strong opponents, while still remember my face in its mind. And then finally, it was able to smell my scent near by. The moment it reached the source and saw me, it felt very happy, and hungry...

Wait what?

[Xora, you know that wolf?]

[Yeah, he's an old friend who wants a rematch.]

[Graaaa!]

*Boom!*

It dashed towards me, much faster than the last time. I used Mind acceleration magic and Boost magic in my body to increase my speed, and dodged the attack.

[Wooo, easy now. Can't we just talk first?]

It disappeared from its spot, and reappeared in front of me, with its claws nearing my chest.

*Slice!*

But I was still able to dodge it again.

'Man, it became alot faster than before.'

I then heard Rutelae's voice from the side.

[Need any help?]

[I'm fine.] I said while dodging another attack.

[Okay! *munch- munch*.]

I took a quick look at Rutelae, who was watching our fight, while eating a Sandwich!

My eyebrows twitched from his action.

Right now I'm dodging and evading every attack from the wolf. I didn't used Senoki's help like the last time, and focused more on using my experience.

*slash* *slash* *slash*

*dodge* *dodge* *dodge*

I'm trying to look for an opening to counter, but it reacts so fast every time I tried to land a punch. And it's growing more faster.

'It's using mana to boost its speed.'

We both were running around, attacking and dodging, trying to land one hit on the other one, until fifty minutes has past.

[Huff... hufff...]

We both stop, trying to catch our breath. I was able to land a kick on its abdomen, but at the same time, it counter attack and made a claw mark on my leg.

[That's enough for excercise today.]

'Activate Plant magic: binding vines.'

Multiple vines came out under its body, binding it to the ground... and its mouth too.

[Graa--!]

I then used healing magic on my wounded leg.

[Is it over?] Asked Rutelae, who is now eating a Shawarma!?

Huhhhh! this guy.

[...Yes.]

[So... what are you going to do to it?]

I looked at the silver wolf while thinking. I really don't know what to do with it. Killing it will give me alot of money, but not to much. I don't feel short on money, or in ingredients.

[I'm thinking of making it my Familia.] I said, as I start approaching it.

[Are you sure? It looks like it will never agree, and wants to bite you so badly.]

I smiled as I heard that.

[I won't be surprised.]

I knelt down and placed my palm on its head. It tried to shake off free, but the vines were too strong. I then began pouring mana into its body, giving it more of my mana, and at the same time, purifying its body and mind from the negative mana that makes it wild.

The more mana a wild beast have, the more stronger it becomes and the more its intellect grows, with reasons and understanding. A wild beast that increase in the amount of mana in their MP will evolve into an intelligent beast.

A Magic Beast.

*Voooom!*

A bright light envelop its body, and its wounds started to disappear. Its red eyes changed into a green, similar to mine. What I did wasn't not only giving it mana, but also forming a connection link between us, just like what Rutelae did to me.

Minutes later, the light was gone and I deactivate the binding spell. My palm is still on its head and it didn't move or tried to attack me. It...or rather He, was sitting on the ground like an obedient dog, waiting for something.

'What's left is to give him a Name as a sign to the contract.'

Let's see... Wolf, Silver, Determination, Intelligent, Strong. These are the elements that I can see from him, but I still need more info.

<Information about "High Silver Wolf and wolves species" installing...>

<Information Complete!>

Hmmm... there are two Great magic beast wolves, or what people would call them "Divine Wolf". A white snow king in the south, and a black hunting king in this Mystic Forest. There aren't many magic wolves in this land.

Just then, a new idea was added to my list.

'A silver king huh...'

[Your name will be Ginro, The Silver Moon Wolf.]

I felt a new connection from my MP.

[Woof!]

He jumped at me and began licking my face.

[H-hey... That tickles!]

He looked very happy after receiving a name.

[looks like it work out.] Rutelae was amazed with my success.

[It did.]

I patted it's head a little, and then, I began ruffling it soft fur. It feels very soft and warm.

'Thank God it's a boy'

[Woof!]

[Oh, you like that?] I said as I was rubbing its belly.

[Woof woof!]

I looked at Rutelae who was staring at us with some hesitation, and a little jealousy.

[Want to pet him?]

[Wa?! n-no, I don't need to.]

'Heh~, Tsundere'

I gave a signal to Ginro through telepathy, and he jumped at Rutelae, locking him down to the ground, and began licking him.

[Wa-! Hey S-stop! Haha, your tickling me- haha!]

After a full three minutes of licking, Rutelae was able to get free.

[That was not funny! I'm all covered in saliva.]

[Oh come on, you were enjoying it.] I chuckled, along with Ginro.

[N-no I wasn't, humph!]

...

One hours later we left the Mystic forest and headed back to the city. I didn't take Ginro with us because it will attract too many attention from the people, even those with bad intentions. So instead, I ordered him to stay there and keep training in the Mystic Forest.

The boy wasn't happy to be separated from his master, and even Rutelae was a little sad, but I told them that we can meet each other every time we go to the forest. I even told them that I plan to build a large house for the three of us in the future. They both became happy after hearing that.

Actually, I have a lot of plans for Ginro, so I shared some knowledge to him, and told Senoki to give him some guidance during his training. I will be in touch with him using the Familia link, so I can check his progress every day.

I told him to start training in the Deeper area, and focus in increasing his magic control. Because Ginro is now a magic beast, he can use magic like any other magic beast, but he will need someone to show him how to do that, and that's where Senoki comes. By using the Familia contract as a medium, similar like what I did to Rutelae using the Partner contract, I can share some knowledge to my familia.

Well actually, I'm able to share Senoki's knowledge to Anyone, by creating a link connection using magic like Mind magic or telepathy magic. A partner contract and a familia contract is one of those ways.

[Xora, can I ask you something?]

[Hm? What is it?]

[What is your main reason for leaving Ginro there so he can train? It can't be because you only want him to get stronger?]

I wasn't surprised with his question. Rutelae is now able to tell what are my thoughts, even if it's a little.

'We have been together for two weeks and he started to understand me alot faster'

I smiled as I answered

[Because of two reasons. The first reason is because I need power, and allies for help. Having a strong familia is great a benefit, against the threats that may come in the near future.]

[Threats?]

[When I studied about this world, I found that there are many powerful beings exist throughout the history, and many bad people are aiming to that spot. Someone like me with great knowledge can be targeted one day, that's why I need more strength and help. Meeting good people, powerful people, making connections, befriending them, getting a familia, etc. Not just threats that are coming to me, but also threats that I may encounter through the journey.]

[So... is there a threat that is coming to us?]

[Not sure, but there is a very high chance that we will meet it. And at that time, I need to be fully prepared.]

[...]

Rutelae was thinking about what I said. There was no more words that came out of me, so I just waited.

[And what's your second reason?]

A wide smile appeared on my face.

[My second reason is because, I want Ginro to become one of the great divine beast.]

[Ah, I see... wait What!? A Divine Beast?!]

I chuckled at his reaction. He didn't expect that I would say something like that.

Divine beast is a title given to those who reached a very high level between the magic beasts. Lady Anka, the Phoenix, is one of them. Their rank are classified as high S rank, meaning that they are above the normal S rank. There are about forty two divine beast that are still alive today.

'Hehe, I can't wait to create my own Divine Beast Familias.'

'I wonder who would be the next Familia.'

[Hey! Your not joking on making Ginro become one of the divine beats? Hey, answer me!?]

...

We arrived at the Saif city and went straight to the adventure guild to submit my quest. When we entered the guild, some adventures were looking at me and observing me. Whispers began to form among them.

[Hey it's him, the white hair kid.]

[Yeah, he ranked up yesterday.]

[What? He defeated the guild master in a dual?]

[I swear it's true. I watch him win.]

[That's explains how he is able to rank up fast. He must be high rank B or A.]

[Twelve days!? Doesn't that mean he broke Her record?]

I ignored their gazes and focused in reaching the counter. But in my way there, I was blocked by three people. I raised my head to see who, and I was a little surprised.

'Three muscle heads?'

[What's up with these guys?] Rutelae asked next to me, but I didn't answer.

The one in the middle, who would I guess is the leader spoke.

[Look what do we have here.] He had a wide grin on his face.

'Oh please, don't say the things that I think you will say.'

I looked at them with a stoic expression, but behind that face, I was smiling with excitement.

<Ding!>

*******

(Information)

- Information about Earth can be accessed, because the WORLD Saletera has an Earth too. (Spoilers)

- Xora want to teach Rutelae how to use videos screen in the Library, but he canceled it, afraid he would become a teenager rebellion kid.

- VPCT is a Skill that allows Xora to train his martial  arts by creating virtual images of some famous fighter and martial artist from his previous life Earth, like Lee and Jacky Chan, with all thier movements, fighting style, and techniques 100%, and that with the help of Senoki since she can gather all information, by using Noctis's memories as a medium link to access all the "Past" information of Xora's old world Earth, when he was alive. It's like creating a translator application on your smartphone and then downloading all language's word to it. So simple, if you have "Knowledge of the world" that is.

- Skill can only be acquired by doing something impossible, and very hard to achieve by doing the normal way, or it can be by miracle. What Xora meant by "miracle" is, something that can't be explained by logic or by laws nature of the world Tera. Like acquiring it during reincarnation, regression, summoning, etc.

- Familia Contract is similar to Partner Contract, between a person and an animal, or a beast. Unlike the Partner contract which is equal between the person and the spirit, the Familia contract is more benefit to the Master, because they can control the Familia fully. The master can shares his magic power and mana to make its familia alot stronger. The master can know its whereabouts, communicate through telepathy, share view, give order, and summon it like the summoning jutsu.

- Divine beast are high level magic beast that reached the level of destruction. The people of Tera classified them as High S rank, meaning they can destroy a big cities in less than a minute. As for large cities like a kingdom, it would take an hour.

章節 13: Three Muscle Heads

[Look what do we have here.]

I looked at the big guy in the middle with a confused fake expression.

[Can I help you sir?] I asked.

The other two were surprised with my calm reaction.

'Heh, they thought they could intimidate me with there bodies.'

The one in the middle who is the leader is a Human, his taller than me, about 179 cm, and has a muscular body, like those from WWE. Next to him on his left is his friend, same as him but a little shorter, around 170 cm. He is a demi-human with tiger ears and tail. On the right is a normal regular human, not as muscular as these two but still, he has a very well build up body. What the three have in common is that they only wear less clothes.

I'm not saying they all just wearing an underwear, well, except the big guy leader who is only wearing a pants and one side chest armor. The other two are wearing tight shirts. Adding some pauldron armors on the shoulder, and a faulds on the waist. They are all rank D adventures.

[Yes, you do. I heard you are a newbie who rank up in just a one week.]

Correction, It was one week and two days, and it's been more than a week, so you can't call me a newbie you dum head.

[Yeah? So, what do you guys want?] I tilted my head.

[Nothing much, we just want you to join our party. A kid like you must be having a hard time surviving in a scary forest, so why don't you join us? We will make sure to protect you kid.]

[...]

I stare at him with a dull expression.

I was so speechless. Is he a stupid or what?

<Ding!>

.... This guy... literally doesn't know my reputation very well! He even didn't listen to the rumors about me in Full Details! He only knows that I'm a new adventure, and someone who rank up fast. He doesn't know which rank I am, or my dual against the guild master! Or even my rank level! He is completely an idiot!

Rutelae who is beside me started to get annoyed.

[What are they saying? Are those idiots somewhat crazy?]

"No, they are just stupid" I answer through telepathy.

[No thanks, I'm good. I prefer to work alone.]

I ignored them and acted as I was going to leave, but they block my way again.

[Hey kid, I asked you nicely, and you decided to ignore my offer.] Said the muscular leader.

[Yeah he's right. You should show some respect and be grateful to your seniors.] Said the muscle head half tiger.

Many adventures were looking at us, and some of them wanted to interfere. I also saw Ade and his party members planning to help me out, but I raised my hand signaling them that it's okay, adding also some telepathic message to him and his party.

"It's fine. I can handle them."

They all gave me a nod.

Unlike this three idiots, most of the adventurers knows about my rank and my level, because of the rumors and the information shared by Davy and Ade's party, and those who saw my match with the guild master. This made them concluded that I wasn't a regular kid, but someone with a lot of experience and mysterious background. Someone like that needs to be treated carefully since no one knows what I might do.

And this is not the first time a kid like me pulled this kind of stunt. There were Others before me.

[Who does these guys think they are? The one who should be respecting is you!] Rutelae became more irritated.

"Come down Rutelae."

[I said I'm good. I don't need protection or any help. The one who need help is you guys, not me.] I said with a calm voice, ignoring them again as I walked to the side.

[What did you say?!] There was anger in the leader's voice.

*Tuk*

He picked up his greatsword from his back and used it to threat me by blocking my way.

[Hey kid, you better apologize for what you said. Don't try to be an arrogant.] He said with a frown.

Rutelae couldn't handle it any longer and was about to do something to them. Unfortunately, I wasn't there.

[Those losers. Xora-]

I was lowering my head down, hiding my expression.

....

Right now, I am in Senoki's Library, trying to come up with an idea on how to deal with those muscle heads.

Why I'm doing something like that?

Well, this is one of the many opportunity. The MC meets some bad guys in his way who want to bully him, but then something cool happened.

This situation I'm in is similar, and now I'm thinking on which options I should choose.

Beat them up?

Scare them?

Cut off one part of their limbs?... Okay, maybe I won't do that.

Or cry like a scared kid in front of everyone to make their reputation alot worse. That would be hilarious, haha!

Okay stop, I need to be serious on this one. I already got the full information about those three. They are not actually Bad people, but more like bad kids. Yeah, basically they need some education and a little help. Their reputation are quite bad because they made a lot of troubles in the city. They are more like... a street orphanet troublemakers kids.

[It's decided then, I will teach them some lessons.]

....

I exited the Library, and then I began using my Aura to put some pressure on them.

[Those losers. Xora, let me beat them up...?]

Fortunately, the Aura pressure I used was only focused on the three, excluding Rutelae from the effect.

[Ugh!]

[Argh!]

The three muscle heads fell down on their knees. They couldn't move their own bodies because of the amount of mana pressure that I put on them. The leader was struggling to stand up as he tries to resist and not to fall, while holding his greatsword. He gritted his teeth in anger and looked up at me, but the moment he saw my eyes, his anger disappeared and was replaced by... a little fear. Same goes for the other two.

[You should be careful to Who you're trying to ask for help, because you don't know what may happen the moment you piss them off.] I said with a very cold tone.

Right now, the atmosphere around us four is very cold and dangerous. The other adventures could feel the chilly pressure coming from me. None of them want to try to come near us or even trying to help these idiots, because of the Threatening Space that I created around us.

It's not just Aura that I used on the idiots, but also some mental attack to make them feel scared and weak. I also put a space mental barrier around us, so that no adventure tries to come close, and at the same time sending a mental warning to their minds that says "it's better not to interfere".

A new spell that I created a moment ago when I was in Senoki's Library.

I smiled at the three muscle heads and said,

[I know that you guys need my help, but if you want to ask a kid like me to join your party, then you should try asking politely...]

The smile on my face vanished, and my expression turn into annoyance.

[...And not by scaring him using your weapon or your giant half naked body!!!] I said with some rage.

My words send chills to them and to everyone who is watching, because of the Sound magic that I used to make it more scary.

[Let me teach you guys some new lessons.] I said, smiling again and with my eyes close.

[If you're going to ask someone, or even Target someone, make sure you have a full information about them and their background, or else... you may regret it.] My voice reached to everyone's ears in the guild.

[For example, what if my background comes from a big one, like a high noble or... a genius mage from the High Tower in disguise, who came here for a job or a secret mission or something like that.]

Everyone reaction became tense when I said those word.

[Or... what if my background was more bigger than a noble, and in reality, I was a prince from a far away land, who just came here to experience the life of an adventure, but just so happen that my Personal Guards came along, to make sure no harm comes to their precious prince.]

*Gulp*

I could hear many people are getting nervous and gulping.

[And they are also disguised as an adventure Among Us, watching, observing the people who are trying to harm their prince.] My voice became more scary.

*Gulp!*

[And waiting... waiting for the right time to strike those who offended their prince, and teaching them a Painful lesson.]

[....]

There was a complete silence inside the guild. No one spoke a word as many people were nervous while thinking. Thinking if what I said could be true?

A fourteen years old kid who came here two weeks ago just to become an adventure, with an unknown background. Being able to rank up fast, complete many difficult quest, and even beat the guild master in a dual. For a kid like that who's rank level might be B rank or above, and in such a young age. Only those with a bigger background can do something like that. Not to mention the level of the pressure that was released from his Aura.

[Fortunately, I'm not from a big background.] I said after canceling my Aura around them.

I smiled joyfully at them and continued.

[I'm just a Traveler who is in a journey in exploring the world, and nothing more.]

The cold silent atmosphere was gone along with the negative mind affect that I casted. Many adventures sighed in relieve that I wasn't a prince or some random kid from a noble background. After all, alot of adventures doesn't want to get involve with the people of high status.

[That was so scary... and cool too.] Rutelae complimented.

"Well thank you."

[So~ did you guys understand my lesson?]

They all nodded multiple times in unison.

[And~ what do you think you guys should do now?]

They looked at each other, then looked back at me.

[We're very sorry for our bad behavior!]

They all said in the same time, with their heads bowing.

I smiled proudly with the result.

[That's go-]

[Please don't kill us!]

[...Huh?]

*****

After that incident, I began to feel bad for the muscle heads. It seems that the fear effect and the pressure made their IQ drop low, resulting in making them still thinking that I am a real prince of some kingdom. I sighed while massaging my temple.

'This is troublesome... and somehow funny.'

And because of that they became more afraid of me, and it end up looking like I was the one who is bulling them. So I apologized for what I did to them and treated them to a dinner in the Twilight Inn.

It wasn't just them, but some adventures still think that I am a noble or from the High Tower. Even Tina thinks too.

[Hey, are you really a prince?] She whispered to me.

[....Really? you too?] I looked at her with a dull eyes.

[Just asking.] She shrugged.

'Huh... why did I choose that option?'

Right now I'm sitting with the three muscle heads, waiting for our foods to come.

[I forgot to introduce my self. My name is Xora, and it's nice to meet you.] I said with a smile.

The first one to speak was the leader of the group.

[Uh! Yes! Nice to meet you! My name is Drone.]

Next came the guy with less muscle.

[My name is Nike.]

And lastly, the demi-human.

[And my name is Conar.]

[There is no need to be nervous. I told you it's my treat.]

[T-thank you very much, y-your highness.]

'For the love of th- STOP CALLING ME THAT!'

I really want to shout at them but I can't. It will get more worse.

Minutes later, Mrs Mez came with the foods.

[Enjoy your meal gentlemen.]

[Thanks you Mrs Mez.]

[Thank you ma'am!!!] The three said together.

She chuckled when she saw that and then left.

We then began eating. At first they were nervous if they should accept it or not, but  in the end I forced them to eat. Meanwhile, Rutelae was eating next to me. He didn't say any words and just focused on enjoying the meal.

By the way, they still can't see him.

After finishing our meals, the three boys sigh in satisfaction.

'Looks like they really enjoyed the food.'

I took a quick look around the Inn. After teaching the inn keeper some new dishes and helping her by attracting more customers to try it, many people began coming here just to enjoy the taste of the new dishes. With that, they won't have any problems with money.

[Now that we finished eating, can you explain why did you guys do that when we were in the guild?]

They all gulped in nervous. It didn't take long for them to explain their full story. And of course I already know their background story.

From what I understand from their point of view, they were just some random orphanet boys who want to survive and make a living. One of them was abandoned by their parents, the other one was kicked out by his family, and the last one was a survivor from the war who lost his home village by the demon invasion. They all decided to become an adventure and work hard together for a better life. At first, things was going smoothly, but after ranking up, their jobs became a lot harder. They began to lose patience which resulted on doing many wrong choices and aggresive decisions.

But that wasn't the real reason.

[I see. So you're saying that your life became worse after you reach rank D?]

They all nodded their heads.

[Then, would you guys mind answering some of my questions?] I asked with a gentle smile.

My left eye twitched a little as I was trying to hold back myself from screaming.

[Sure.]

And so, I began asking for more details information, to make sure I hear it from their own mouth. The questions were about their salaries, what kind of quest they take? What do they do with the rewards they get? On what do they spend their money on? And so on.

[Can you guys please show me your hands?]

[Hm???]

They didn't say a word and showed me all their hands. I looked at their hands with a series expression, and at the same time annoyed.

[What are you looking at Xora?]

Rutelae asked next to me.

"I'm just examining to see how much work they did."

These guys... I could see that they work very hard, but still, they lack a lot of combat experience. The thing is, they don't know how to take care of themselves, properly.

The reason why their life became worse after becoming rank D is because they never save some money for living. They waste most of the money on buying expensive stuff like weapons, armors, foods, items, potions, and for the inn. Not to mention they sometimes got scammed by some greedy merchants without knowing. And also, they don't take the easy quest like before, instead they take quest that are rank D, just because it gives more money than the other quests.

Like I said before, rank F and E quest are more related to normal jobs related in the city, like delivering, collecting, gathering, cleaning, carrying and others. And also hunting some animals and wild beasts that are not from the Mystic Forest. And D rank quests is more focused in hunting inside the Mystic forest in the outer area, which is similar as entering a C rank dungeon.

And those idiots are only high D rank in level, which make it more harder for them to complete any D rank quest.

It's not like they can't complete one D rank quest, it's just that they don't know how to complete it. Instead of taking a quest for hunting some wild rabbits, they go for a Wild Bear!

'This is so annoying, I really want to beat the heck out of them right now.'

After taking some deep breath, I looked at them in the eyes.

[It's decided then, I will join your party and help you rank up.]

[?!?!?!] They all looked at me with a surprised eyes.

[But there is more. I'm not just going to help you, but I also going to train you and teach you how to get more stronger.]

[R-really?]

[Of course, starting tomorrow, we will begin our training early in the morning. I will be waiting for you guys at the south gate. Make sure to be there before 2:00 am.]

They all looked very happy when I said those words, and began thanking me.

.....

After saying goodbye to them, I went up stairs heading to my room. Right then, a voice came behind me.

[Xora? Are you really just going to teach them?]

I turn to look back at Rutelae.

[Hm? Yeah. Why are you asking?]

[Because back there, your smile was kinda creepy. It felt like you're planning somethings bad.]

He looked at me doubtful.

[Whaaaaat? No~ you must be overthinking.] 

I walked a little faster to my room, so that I can start working on making plans right away. Planning on what kind of training I'm going to give tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Rutelae who was left behind stared at  my back with a flat expression.

[...I knew it.]

Nike is the youngest sibling, and because of that they decided to abandon the weakest one who has no hope for the family future. So they took him for a walk outside in the city, and then they made him wait in middle of the street telling him that they will come back in an minute, but they ran away, leaving him behind. At that time he was six. He was then found by some people who took him to an orphanage. At the age of seventeen he ran away and traveled to the Saif city for a job.

His hated uncle from his father took him in because he has no other relatives left. He was abused and was forced to work in the house by his uncle. No one in the village help him because they have a rule to not interfere with other families matters. At the age of 13 his uncle kicked him out from his father's house telling him that he need to be independent from now on, but in reality his Uncle only wanted to have everything that he stole from Conar's parents for him self. So Conar decided to leave his village and his home to get stronger and come back for revenge. Unfortunately, during his days as an adventure in the Saif city he forgot about his revenge and focused more on ranking up and getting more money.
