He introduced, somewhat I slightly confused why did the S rank Class introduce himself to me? Is he needs something from me? I don't have anything involved with him. There's nothing wrong is some adventure want to know each other but it feels weird if some High Rank adventure wants to know someone newbie like me. Well, I don't feel any unpleasant aura from him. And there's no harm to introduce myself.
"Ahh, sorry it's very rude of me. My name is Galen, nice to meet you."
"Galen, huh?"
He touched his chin and he takes a look closer at me, it's just like he curious about me. He looked at my face and my body, somehow I felt uncomfortable and creepy at the same time. I don't know why he does something like this. Did I just pick his interest? Or maybe he is… 'G word' brrrr… I feel a little shudder on my back. I don't want to think about it…
"Is there anything I can help?"
I asked him. He still looked at me with his curious face while he analyzed me.
"Ahhh, No, no I don't need anything, It just…."
He takes a look closer at me. I feel a little shudder on my back I'm more convinced that this guy maybe is 'stray from the straight path'. But I keep calm.
"it's just?"
"It's just, how can I say it…"
He tried to find the word he wants to say
"You look very ordinary, but somehow I can feel you are hiding your true power aren't you?"
Wha… so this is the reason why he looks so curious about me. I'm really surprised that he can feel my true power. I thought that I already hide my power perfectly, but it looks like he can feel it. Did I just leak my power? No, there's no way I have a blunder like that, then how?
"What do you mean? I don't understand?"
For now, I just need to play dumb. I don't know how he can know that I hold back my power. For now, He doesn't need to know my power.
"Hmmm, I don't know are you playing dumb or what? But there's no way I wrong. Because I'm pretty confident with my skill to judge the people, you know. And until now I never wrong in judging people."
That means he judges me by his instinct. His intuitions are really frightening, he can know that I hold back my power. Maybe not many people who have intuitions like him. This is bad… I must find a way to fool him.
"But I really don't understand what you mean… this is all the power that I have…"
I still trying to hold back my power and still trying to fool him
"hmmmmm, do you have something inside you? I can feel something inside your body, it's like a contracted monster… And I'm pretty much sure that you're not an ordinary adventure."
"Inside me? Contracted monster? I don't understand. I'm just an ordinary adventure that you can find anywhere."
I'm still trying to play dumb. Please, please, just go already don't analyze me like this. I don't want to become a center of attention,,,
All of the adventures in the lobby already set their eyes on me and the person named Agata. He still trying to analyze me. This is bad, if this keeps going on I'm sure I will be the center of the attention, somehow I must leave from this situation. then suddenly there's someone shout the name of the adventure in front of me.
"Agata!!!"
It was jade.
"What the heck… what it is jade? You don't need to shout like that!"
"Why are you bullying the newbie? And what are you doing in here? didn't you say your business in here already done?"
Jade!!, finally my ticket way out to this situation. it looks like she realized that I'm in trouble that's why she helps me.
"Both of it is not of your concern, you don't need to know"
He gives her a cold answer.
"It is of my concern, the one you picked up is my disciple, you know. do you want to incur my wrath?"
She made an aura of intimidating. The people behind Agata got taken back a little after jade give them the aura of intimidating.
Oh now that jade said it, that is the setting that we already agree. Because jade didn't want to separate with me from adventure so I made a rule with her. The rule is "in front of the people I became her disciple." This is the agreement that I set to jade if she didn't want to separate from me, and she agreed with it easily. Luckily I set this rule, if it not maybe right now I didn't have an alibi.
"Hooo… so he is your disciple. I see I understand now."
Hmmm, what did you understand?
"Well, now I can understand. It looks like you have a promising disciple jade, and he is your new companion, right?
"Yes, he is."
Jade gives him back the cold answer.
"Humph, instead of being jade disciple why didn't you become my disciple? You don't need about money power and strength just come with me and you will have that all"
Shameless as he did, he tried to recruit me who already have become jade 'disciple'. He states that I will have all of that if I come with him.
'What a confidence… but sorry I must refuse it.' that was what I thought, but jade beside me who hear it leak her intimidating aura, he glares at him with very dreadful eyes.
'ahhhh, now it will be a problem'
Not wanting to lose or back from his position, Agata leaks his intimidating aura too. He wants to counter it. He glared at jade.
'….'
I can't hide my exhausted face. I put my hand in my face to hide it. I'm sure it will be a problem after this.
The two of them glare at each other and give an intimidating aura to the surrounding. Jade is smaller than Agata so she must keep her face up. Woahhh… the density of the aura they leak…. It's like you see the dragon and a tiger behind them, ready to prepared fight anytime. The adventure in the lobby who watch it only can swallow their saliva. The pressure of two S rank class try to intimidate each other is too much for them. No one dares to make a voice, the lobby becomes silent for a minute. The guild staff that sees them, are already gone to tell this matter to the guild master. It will be bad if the two of them start the fight. I feel maybe the two of them have some past that makes them antagonizing each other.
"Shameless"
Said, Jade
"Got a problem with that?"
Answer Agata.
Then the pressure from them becomes heavier…
'uwahhh, if they keep up like this I'm sure the guild will be in mess… I must stop them before the worst-case scenario' that was what I thought.
"Mmmmm can we stop in here? if it continues it will be bad for the guild and the other."
I break the silence in the lobby. The other adventure saw me dare to speak in this situation surprised, the two of them look in my direction.
"And Master jade, it's okay you don't need to be this protective you know. He is just curious about me. He doesn't want to bully me"
I call jade master. I'm acting as a jade disciple with this I hope Agata will be fooled. But when I said master, Jade is blushing.
"ma…master, ye-yes"
Why the heck did she blushing? she is the one who calls me disciple, at least you must keep your acting jade… Jade then back to herself, she regained her composure.
"Yes, what my disciple said is true. I apologize if I'm over protecting since he is my first disciple"
She apologized to Agata.
"It's very rare to see you apologize, but I will take it."
Well, finally another trouble has been avoided. But Agata didn't leave he still in front of me and jade.
"But still Galen if you want to come with me I will welcome you. I will even welcome you in my party"
He still tried to recruit me. If this continues I'm sure jade will be furious, so I denied it immediately before even jade can speak up to me.
"I appreciate it, to think that S class rank wants me to be in their party. But I have already formed a party with jade, and she is my master too. So I'm afraid I must refuse your invitation"
I skillfully refuse his invitation
"Is that so? That was a shame? Then why don't jade and you join my party?"
"In your dream, let's go len, you already got the quest that you want to take right? There's no point talking with him"
The one who answers it is jade. she hurriedly wants to go from Agata's sight. Well, I can understand why she hurriedly too.
"yes, I already got a quest that I want"
"then let's go!!"
I picked one of the quests that I want in the bulletin, then Jade pulling my hand. We leaving Agata behind. This time he didn't try to obstruct us, he let us leave. I don't know either he gives up or not, but at least I can escape from that situation. The surrounding adventure can breathe freely. The tension between the two of S rank class made them can't breathe
"Jade stop pulling my hand, you don't need to pull my hand like this"
She grips my hand really tight, jade really in the bad mood…
"Ahh, Sorry"
She realized and apologize. She lowers her face and apologized. There's an imprint of a jade hand on my wrist. Seriously? She used his full strength to grip my hand… if it a normal human I'm sure his hand will be crushed right now.
"I don't know what your problem with him, but at least you must not make an enemy with another adventure jade. He just wants to know me"
I scold her a little. Well, I don't know what past she has with Agata…
"But well, thanks to you I can escape from that situation. If you did not come in that situation, I can't escape from him"
I thanked jade. It's true if jade didn't show that time I'm sure my power will be exposed. I am afraid that he will force me to join his party. There is the case that maybe he will join me in my quest to win over me, but because jade comes to aid me and told him that I was her disciple that makes him give up. That's why I thanked her.
"hehe, well, you don't need to worry I will always save you no matter what"
She boasted it proudly. I feel I'm like a princess that was guarded by jade…
"hahaha, then let's go to the receptionist first before we go out"
The two of us then go to the receptionist.
