After the money splurging at the restaurant, the money that Legolas stole from the lady was finally exhausted which left him wanting more.
His decision to join no sides in his quest to find the truth behind his reincarnation was optimal for his bountiful knowledge but it also had the hardest starting point.
It was hard to fit in without choosing a side to join.
After learning about the theoretical aspect of the Blue Scale Shelter, Legolas finally did the needful and started having a first-hand experience of the shelter.
The Blue Scale Shelter was called so because of the Blue Forest that was close to them and their close proximity to the sea. The sea and the Blue Forest were the greatest sources of danger that the Pugilists had to worry about.
As he walked, he confirmed that this shelter was less developed than the Gwen Shelter and that the Pugilist Academy was the real ruling power here.
Most supers here were Pugilists, there were hardly any Summoners or Elementalists which made the shelter look like it was made for gym freaks.
Like in the game though, in every shelter where Pugilists were the dominant force, there was always chaos since these supers preferred brawn to brain.
Apart from the regular beast invasion attempts from the Blue Forest and the sea, the small gang fights all over the city caused most of the chaos and battles.
After walking miles around the shelter, Legolas finally saw the massive Pugilist Academy. This building that was built like a tower had the statue of a bodybuilder at its entrance which was the trademark of the Pugilist Academy.
Legolas observed to his fill before leaving, he was off to find money.
This time, he was not about to go engage in theft again. All he needed was to find the right candidate and just like with NPCs in his previous life, he knew how to get missions from them, he just had to improvise his speech a bit.
Legolas did not have to walk far before he found his target.
…
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A group of warriors fought against each other as energy was constantly released from both sides. There was no destructive fire raging around, no raging tsunami of water, this was a physical brawl between both parties.
The gang in brown was the winning side as alongside their Grade F Pugilist, they were able to overwhelm their enemies in black attire.
Every other person in the streets ignored the 2 fighting gangs. Those indoors shut their doors tighter, while those that were outdoors found places to hide.
After seeing the chaos, Legolas clicked his tongue before walking closer. Seeing a 15-year-old kid walking toward them, the warriors of both gangs were shocked but they were too engaged to care about a young kid looking for death.
Legolas deliberately walked towards the side of the gang in black.
"Get out of here kid!" A warrior in brown yelled as his fist hit another face.
Seeing the kid ignore him, this warrior was irritated as he instinctively kicked out with his leg to send the kid flying but the inexplicable happened.
Bam!
Legolas grabbed the warrior's leg with one hand, then he supported it with his other hand before snapping the leg, breaking the bones in the process.
As the loud scream of the warrior reverberated, Legolas finally succeeded in getting the attention that he needed.
"Such a young Grade E super!" All the warriors were shocked.
Legolas's little feat was enough to reveal his grade and that was what he intended as he reacted instantly and flowed with the groove.
"10,000 Darvis credits and an extensive map of the Blue Forest is my pay". Legolas gave his price calmly amid all the chaos.
"Help us!" The gang leader of the warriors in black was quick to react after understanding the situation as he yelled the next moment.
-----
[You have received a new Grade F mission: Help the Fish-Smut Gang]
[Mission Reward: 10,000 Darvis Credits, a hand-made expert map guide of the Blue Forest, and +10 Favorability]
----
"…Fish Smut?" Legolas was speechless as he directed a weird look at the leader of this gang, nevertheless, he acted.
Legolas unsheathed his basic alloy sword and sprang into action. He may be a Summoner who was weak physically, but as a martial artist practitioner in his previous life, he knew how to make use of his higher stats to bully these warriors.
Legolas had no intention of spilling blood during his first day here and that was why Predator remained hiding in the dark, he and his sword were enough.
Once he entered, the momentum swung back in favor of the Fish Smut gang. Just 5 minutes later, they were able to beat their opponents to a retreat.
"F*ck you losers!"
"You motherf*cking son of bitches!"
"Run and never step foot in our territory again!"
Legolas wiped his sword with a cloth to rid it of the blood staining it before sheathing it back into its scabbard, this was when the leader of the gang came.
"Brother, you were awesome, f*cking incredible!"
"Yeah". Legolas smiled. "My pay?"
Even Legolas had to admit that this felt awkward. His 15-year-old body was definitely now a limitation, the awkward atmosphere was unmatched as this hefty middle-aged Pugilist tried hard to hype and suck up to the little boy before him.
This was the ultimate definition of cringe and both parties knew it.
"Oh yeah, your pay, here it is".
One of the gang members ran closer the next moment after preparing the package as the gang leader took hold of it.
"Here are 10,000 credits and a hand-made expert guide of the Blue Forest".
Once Legolas took it, the leader of the Fish Smut gang smiled. "Brother, how may I address you? I'll love for our relationship to get better".
"Just call me the Sexual Chocolate".
"…" Now, it was the gang leader's turn to be stunned as he looked on, dazed.
Legolas did not wait for him as he turned to leave. "If you have any need for help, you'll easily find me, consecutive prices after this are 50,000 Darvis Credits".
"Ahhh…, sure, sure, haha". The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly.
Legolas did not care about the reaction of the warriors after he left. The first thing that he did after leaving was locating a nice inn where he could stay.
After he paid, he entered the single-bedroom flat and locked himself in his room where he spread the handmade map on top of the bed.
Legolas's eyes flickered as he looked at it.
