Chapter 1: The Blue-haired Female Adventurer
In the lush forest, a black-haired, black-eyed boy appeared in front of a monster-like tiger. The tiger was about 150 centimeters tall and 180 centimeters long, and flames spewed out of its mouth from time to time, indicating that it was a fire-type monster.
Facing such a monster, the boy is only 140 cm tall. Under normal circumstances, such a monster has no chance of winning.
"Did they choose this place this time?" He muttered in dissatisfaction. In order not to be at a disadvantage, he charged towards the flame tiger.
"Multifunctional Gauntlets!"
The black-haired boy's arms were equipped with a huge gauntlet that covered his fist and was more than three times the thickness of his arm.
————————————————————
The so-called Adventurer's Guild is a special organization.
Most of their work involves personal injury, or the extermination of monsters that are pests to crops. Of course, there are also miscellaneous commissions, as well as caravan protection, VIP protection, and occasional special commissions such as mercenary participation in wars.
In short, this is a job that is always dangerous, and only those who are born with the ability to activate body-strengthening magic on a regular basis, or who can activate this magic on demand, can do it.
If you have such qualifications, you can be a guard or soldier in a big city, and even a knight if you are lucky. Even in a local city, it is possible to be a noble private soldier.
But there are also people who become adventurers because they are attracted to the social contribution aspect of the adventurer business, or because they like freedom.
The problem is the story of "other people working".
The majority of those who drop out are those who hoped to find other jobs but failed to do so and ended up in poverty.
In some cases, these people may even fall away completely and become bandits or thugs. The existence of the Adventurer's Guild is considered a safety net before this.
Naturally, the place is like a gathering place for rough guys. More than 60% of the registered people are men, and although women are a minority, they are usually muscular or have a stimulating atmosphere.
In such a space, stunning beauties naturally stand out.
The female adventurer rocked shiny blue hair, had green eyes, and had a neat face that would make 10 out of 10 people turn their heads and stare.
At first, the male adventurers observed her every move with contemptuous smiles, and one of them spoke to her.
He was immediately rejected by her coldly, but once one person takes action, more challengers will follow. After many challengers failed, a man who thought he had some ability stood up. The result is self-evident, but the problem is that this man is very irritable.
"Don't act so unattainable, woman!"
"I don't have any unattainable ideas at all! I will never accept a sloppy and ignorant man like you!" The female adventurer did not show any weakness in the face of such typical clamor.
"What did you say! Go out and explain yourself!"
In this case, one expects funny lines, but not this kind of vocabulary ability.
"OK."
The female adventurer thought that if she could punish one person, she might be able to avoid the subsequent troubles, but the other person was not only filthy in appearance, but also filthy in heart. The female adventurer saw that man followed by seven other men and was so helpless that she was speechless.
She was obliged to let go of the hilt of the sword, when someone spoke to her from behind.
“Can I help you?”
Hearing this, the female adventurer glanced back and noticed a black-haired boy who looked like he had just grown out of his childishness.
"Hey! Mind your own business!"
"Hey, but when you see a girl who seems to be besieged, wouldn't everyone want to help?" The young boy was not afraid of the men who seemed to want to intimidate him, and answered confidently.
"No choice. Let's get rid of that guy and then enjoy it slowly."
After hearing his partner's words, the man seemed to become motivated.
"What do you want?" The female adventurer walked up to him, and the boy said calmly, "Then I'll join the battle. You're so suspicious. Isn't it good to trust people's kindness occasionally?"
"But those guys in front of us might also want to be partners out of good intentions?"
"Ha! I really hadn't thought of that. It's wrong to have preconceived ideas. Well, please treat me to tea later." The young man said jokingly. The female adventurer didn't sense any malice and could only smile bitterly.
"But now I can fully sense the murderous intent, so it can be considered as self-protection. I will help."
"That's great, but what's your weapon?"
"Ah, I'm a boxer, so I'll just use this."
She re-examined the boy's attire and understood his answer. At the same time, the boy's presence next to her suddenly disappeared.
The boy deftly moved between the men, striking one with his palm and sending him flying. Then he moved past and kicked the second man in the back, causing the men to turn their heads in panic.
But this also meant that they unconsciously turned their backs to the female adventurer, which was undoubtedly a fatal flaw.
(Oh, I didn’t expect he was so capable.)
As she thought this, she struck a man on the side of his head with the butt of her sword.
If the sword was pointed, no matter how hard she tried to control the force, blood would probably be drawn, and in this small town, the Self-Defense Force would arrive immediately. She didn't intend to show any concern for the bodies or lives of these men, but the trouble was still annoying.
She had no choice but to use the belly of the sword, which was actually like a blunt instrument made of metal, enough to produce an effect. If the strike was not in the right place, it might leave sequelae or endanger life.
Therefore, if one does not have considerable self-confidence, one would not easily draw the sword even in an argument.
Although the female adventurer was also a user of body strengthening magic, facing multiple people was beyond her ability. In this regard, the boy's skills in fighting multiple people with his bare hands were quite high.
On the other hand, even though they were surrounded, the men still had a numerical advantage, and since they could not deal with them one by one, their ability was obvious. Soon, the men fell one by one and were all wiped out.
The female adventurer quickly threw the unconscious man into the alley, feeling a little uneasy.
