"Hey, it wouldn't be polite to attack my boy in front of me, the familia captain. And the person involved hasn't spoken yet? Why are you in such a hurry?"
After easily blocking Bete's attack, a faint smile appeared on Tsubaki's face.
However, if you thought she was joking, you would be wrong. Even if they are a member of the artisan family, they are not allowed to be provoked.
Even if the target is the strongest family, Tsubaki would not feel afraid at all.
Maybe there would be a gap between the two sides regarding hard power. However, if there was a real fight, the Loki family would not take much advantage, and the Hephaestus familia was not a joke.
If they were more ruthless and had two magic swords. That would be a terrifying scene for anyone.
"Bete, you are too reckless. Quickly get away from there!"
To prevent the situation from escalating, Riveria hastily and seriously yelled, and at the same time, magic power surged on her body, and the aura of the strongest magician also emerged.
Still surrounded by a fierce aura, Bete felt Riveria's change, and the scarlet color in his eyes gradually dissipated.
He lowered his right foot slowly, finally giving Yami a fierce look.
"Tch, he's only trash hiding behind women."
"Bete!"
Riveria's stern voice sounded again. This time Bete didn't dare to continue to talk. He could only put his hands in his pockets again and return to Riveria's side after snorting, clearly displeased.
The conflict just broke out and ended in a very short time.
Yami took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. The strong sense of powerlessness just now made him almost suffocate. Sure enough, if the first-class adventurer spared no strength, he couldn't fight back at all.
If Tsubaki was not here today, he would have been beaten severely.
This was the result of the lack of strength. The weak will always be beaten. No matter what world, only the strong would have enough right to speak so that others will not dare to bully you.
Yami did not speak harshly or say anything to Bete. It does not make sense and will only give others a chance to laugh at him.
Never let other people know what you think.
Likewise, never hate your enemies, for that will only cloud your judgment.
He will reach Lv. 6 in two years at most. At that time, he will no longer need to stand behind Tsubaki and be protected by her.
"Let me apologize for his actions."
Riveria stepped forward to express her apology. Bete's behavior was rude even for her as the vice-captain.
If she hadn't always been paying attention to everyone's situation, these children would have caused too much trouble!
"No, there's nothing to apologize for. In the final analysis, my kid was rude first and created the scene."
With a smiling face, Tsubaki slowly retracted her weapon.
She didn't have any prejudice against Riveria. It was not the first time they'd met, and they knew each other very well, so there wasn't any estrangement because of this matter.
Just as Riveria didn't care about Yami's behavior, Tsubaki didn't particularly care about Bete's impulsiveness.
They were all young and energetic lads, and any behavior seemed to be expected.
"I have heard all the specifics from Lefiya. Regarding today's matter, after discussing with Loki-sama and Hephaestus-sama, we will get the solution."
"That would, of course, be the best."
Although there was some friction between the two sides, the conflict did not intensify under the handling of Riveria and Tsubaki.
Of course, only they themselves know what each other thought deep in their hearts.
There were some minor episodes in the middle, but the next itinerary would still not change. Yami would not go back on what he had promised, even if he was almost hurt just now.
Soon, the group left the town of Rivera and found a plain with no people.
The terrain here was wide enough to be used as a natural venue for sparring. Even if a fierce battle broke out here, it would not affect the town or other areas.
Stopping, Riveria led others to stand aside, leaving the central area to Yami and Ais.
In fact, she also wanted to see what was so special about this newcomer who was so valued by Tsubaki, who had personally guided and brought him to the safe floor.
When Bete launched the attack, Riveria clearly caught Yami's aura completely disappearing.
At that moment, the latter did not look like an adventurer who had received falna and was no different from ordinary people. This made Riveria very curious. What kind of skill was that?
Perhaps the Hephaestus Familia had taken in an amazing newcomer...
"Tch, I don't understand why Ais wants to fight such a weak guy. He is obviously a man, but he only dares to hide behind a woman and even follows her to the eighteenth floor. Guys like him without talent just hang around those who are strong and are simply scum."
Bete put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Yami in the field with a displeased expression.
His words were barely concealed, and in such a silent environment, almost everyone at the scene heard them.
"Bete, you went too far today." Riveria reminded with narrowed eyes.
However, Bete did not give in this time but pushed back stubbornly, "Old woman. If you hadn't blocked me, I would have killed that weakling, don't point fingers at me anymore."
Hearing this, Tiona and Lefiya on the side were shocked.
Today's Bete was too brave. He dared to talk to Riveria like that without drinking.
Tsubaki also squinted her eyes with a cold smile, "Rivelia, it seems your daily work is hectic!"
"Sorry, Tsubaki, you had to see such an embarrassment."
"No, it doesn't matter. I don't care what that werewolf kid said, nor will Yami. He is not someone who will be affected by such words. On the contrary, maybe I should thank you all."
Some elusive words came out of Tsubaki's mouth.
Her eyes stayed on Yami's body, looking at that lonely and resolute back, and she also recalled the words that Yami said in person when he was learning to forge.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is!
He didn't care about other people's opinions, he would always maintain enough humility, and naturally, he wouldn't be affected by other people's words.
