Pino began a new journey after two years of following Poorstag, in those two years he was just practicing and following the advice Poorstag gave him without doing anything else. After leaving the Poorstag residence, he rushed to Coasthaven Academy in the city centre.
There are some things that caught his attention, he found an awful lot of people walking around carrying guns, no matter they were male or female. They all seemed excited, and of course they were in groups with each other. When he looked at these people, he understood that they were so-called adventurers.
He didn't go to the Goldenroses to pick up money or anything else, because he had already got what he needed to study at Coasthaven Academy. Pino, who had all the needs he needed to get into the academy, immediately went there.
Passing through several houses and shops made him feel a bit tempted to visit one of the shops, and his view was on a store selling supplies. At first, he wasn't very interested, but once he saw a shiny-looking sword he became very interested in visiting it.
He tried to break into the store just to look around. At first, he didn't pay much attention to other shops, but when he noticed it, there were a lot of shops selling various kinds of magic-related necessities. He broke into a grocery store called Whining Tron.
"Interestingly, there are all kinds of weapons here, ranging from hammers, axes, swords, sabers, arrows. All sorts of weapons are in this place, it's interesting, but the money I have to spend to get one of them is not the least bit. From the cheapest only a few tens of silver to the most expensive price that reaches hundreds of gold," murmured Pino when he saw a variety of weapons are neatly arranged on various shelves or mannequins.
Pino sees some weapons that he finds interesting especially a katana that looks very mesmerizing. His shiny blades even made him see his own face, even though he didn't hold it, he saw the weapon as a masterpiece. However, as soon as he saw the price, he just laughed. No wonder the weapon looks so good, it's only worth 500 gold coins.
"Good weapons and done painstakingly too, unfortunately the price is a little expensive. Let... If this gun is against me, I'll be able to get it later. I'd better go to the academy soon," pino murmured, not denying himself if he was very interested in black-shirted katana, but he abandoned his intentions after seeing the price, even though he could afford it.
Pino didn't linger in the Whining Tron store, he immediately left the place after looking around at what equipment was sold there. He was very interested in the katana, unfortunately he didn't want to spend a lot of money to get it let alone she just got out of poorstag place, so he needed to learn whatever was around him.
When he just walked out of the store, he saw two men pushing a woman. At first, he did not overrege the incident, after all he did not know the woman, but after seeing the actions of the men, he began to act.
"Please... I don't want to work like that anymore, let me go... I've paid it all off. How can I still have that debt?" asked a woman who had just been pushed by a man so hard that her body hit the wall of the house.
"Huh!!! Don't talk too much, now you come with us and work again. That debt you still haven't fully paid, just want to leave. Don't think you can get away from us," said the man who pushed the woman against a wall.
He did push her but did not continue his actions, unfortunately the man next to him began to act by throwing a kick that precisely hit the woman's stomach until the woman fell down while holding her belly, not only that, the man was about to set his foot back into the woman's stomach.
"Hey, hey!!! Two big, dashing men harassing a weak woman, aren't you ashamed to be a public spectacle?" Pino stepped in and stopped the man. He felt he had to save the woman because he saw how he was kicked and beaten.
"Who are you, boy? Stay out of our business, get out of here!!"
"How can I allow this low action to happen before my eyes? You have grown men with more power than this woman... Why are you ganging up on him? Just forgive his mistakes and put an end to all this," said Pino, he was still trying to stop the actions of the two men peacefully.
"Didn't I tell you!!! Stay out of our business if you don't know, don't go too far!!! It's not a problem you can handle, it's better for you to step aside and not act like a hero!!!" snapped one of the men.
Pino himself knew that his actions went too far because he interfered with other people's problems, only that he did not like the way the two men did to solve the problem, so he was forced to get into this problem.
He still carries a sword neatly tied around his waist, he doesn't use it, and he's just waiting for what kind of action the man will do. Pino didn't take the first step at all because he didn't want to be the one to start the fight, so he was only passive when he saw the provocations made by the two men.
"Just act strong even though it's weak!!! You better go back home and suckle your mom. Don't try to interfere in the adult world!!!" One of them bullied Pino by trying to hit him.
Pino evaded the attack, and he quickly reversed his attack and knocked him down with just one kick to his head. Off the attack, he immediately turns aggressive and exerts his strength to make the other man fall.
The two men knocked down Pino in just a few seconds, and it was all watched by many pairs of eyes. Pino ignored people's gaze, and he approached the woman, reached out her hand, Pino lifted the woman up.
"Are you okay? Who exactly are they and what's the matter until you get beat up like this?" asked Pino, as he tried to figure out the truth.
"It's okay, just a matter of ordinary, thank you. They think I haven't paid my debt, and I've paid it off," she replied.
"All right, I'll leave you. You better get out of here, and move on, don't let them find you again or something like this will happen again," Pino said as he left the woman.
Unless he knows, he's already an enemy with a certain group as a result of his actions today.
