Chapter 20: The adventurers test part 1
The guild master Doran came to me and bowed his head in order for me to accept the request of subjugating the Calamity Dragon.
The several dozen S-rank adventurers who went up against it were sadly defeated. Hence why I was selected from the many people.
For certain there is no stronger person than me who’s able to defeat that monster. Sigh, truly bothersome.
I just want the girls in the orphanage to pass their time peacefully.
I have no interest in fame nor power, I don’t stand out at all if I can.
That is why I want the specialists like adventurers or army to deal with it, but there is nobody except me being able to do it.
“Haa, I do not want to stand out at all.”
I’m reluctant about this but it’s for the sake of the orphanage. I was headed towards the adventurer’s guild reluctantly in order to accept the request.
Coincidentally, Lucia, Shii and Rin all 3 of them are coming along aswell. Naturally, I strongly opposed them in coming but they said they hate being separated and didn’t listen at all.
Ofcourse, there’s a reason.
If they separate from me then along the dangerous Dragon slaying adventure then something might happen to them hence the safest place is near me. It’s just that my power is that overwhelming.
“Oh well, it’s fine. Don’t separate too much from me.”
To my words the girls
“Yes, yes! I’ll forever be near you! I definitely won’t let go!”
“Same for me! I’ll always stay near you!”
“Shii also will stay nearby you for eternity!”
So they replied in turns.
Coincidentally, where are they getting all this confidence from?
While we were having such conversation we arrived at the adventurer guild building.
Without hesitation I opened the door and headed inside.
The inside was exactly as I imagined it would be.
On the walls requests were jutting out, men and women of various occupations from warriors to magicians encircling tables and some talking while standing. There were vendors for information and shopping as well. You can buy light meals too.
We went inside. As soon as we went inside one of the adventurers
“Oi, oi did you guys perhaps come to the wrong place? This is a place for strong adventurers to gather. It’s not a place for kids like you to come here!”
We heard such a loud voice.
From the surrounding adventurers we received a pour of looks.
I was calm originally so those provocative words didn’t have the desired effect.
Fumu, his opinion may be misdirected, but it is true that we are young.
I don’t feel bad for him thinking like that.
“Thank you for your advice.”
While saying that calmly I went further inside.
“You bastard! Are you mocking me!?”
At my reply the adventurer turned red in rage and flipped over the table as he stood up. The food and alcohol on the table flew away.
“What’s happened to lose your temper? If I am being impolite then I will apologize.”
I calmly asked.
But for some reason the adventurer was getting even more mad.
“You baaaaastard! I will not be made fun of young guy like you!”
While yelling that he charged towards me.
Sigh, it cannot be helped.
I exchanged looks with Elin.
Elin as if she anticipated my indication , finished waiting and stepped forward with her cane and started saying the spell.
“Master was trying to say that you should calm down. Eat this technique! Cocytus!”
For me it was just perfect gush of wind while for everybody else was a menacing spell Cocytus which was cast by Elin.
“Did you get it?”
When I asked her she replied to my joyfully.
“Yes! As you told me, i aimed it at the ground!”
That’s right, I instructed Elin to aim at the ground rather than the guy himself.
For sure he is foolishly beyond saving but I decided to give him mercy.
That’s because I’m overwhelmingly stronger than these miserable people therefore I decide whether they would die or not.
The people who stand at the top should have the tolerance to forgive fools.
That’s why I gave pardon to miserable existences like him.
This also can be said abuse of a strength as a god.
In the moment Elin’s Cocytus fired off not just the table but also the floor, ceiling, wall the entirety of the building got pretty frozen. Inside the permafrost there was an scenery as if it continually expanded.
For me it was just a substitute for an air-conditioner spell, but for everybody else the effects were tremendous. It seems that even the extremely robust adventurer are not an exception.
She was ordered to go easy on them, but it couldn’t match with the chattering teeth and remaining coldness which made quick action hard.
“Gieeee!?”
The guy who had tried to rush had his foot coiled in ice and couldn’t move no matter how much he tried. His whole body was trembling, it’s most likely he was going to die from the cold.
“My bad… I did not think you guys wouldn’t be able to move to this extent. For me it’s just a substitute for air-conditioner. Elin you can cancel it.”
I instructed her such.
“Understood!”
She replied cheerfully and immediately cancelled Cocytus. The cold immediately dissipated and the adventurers who looked like they were going to die from it are all right.
“Fuu, we almost killed them. As I thought going easy on them is difficult.”
They heard my murmur
“Master is too strong, after all…”
“But, even while Masatsugu-sama having such overwhelming strength, he still manages to pardon his opponents.”
“That’s right. His strength and spirit are just of an God, no matter who the opponent is he handles them equally as all.”
But, I shook my head to this
“Those that wield unimaginable power must never be swayed by it. I have yet to get to that meaning. If you rush to become strong, then in return you’ll be manipulated by it.”
The girls expressions were astonished from those words.
“Despite holding such strength to say that it was not enough. I feel that Masters strength isn’t in his power but rather in his attitude.”
“Power just for strength is bad, I see. Controlling it is also strength, that is pretty profound saying. It’s like I’ve heard the truth about black magic.”
“I feel like those words were also left by a God that has came down to this world in the past. Amazing, Masatsugu-san is like that God.”
“No, I am still far yet unexperienced. Now, let’s finish at the reception desk. Let’s take the quest from the board as normal and leave this place.”
On my words the girls replied “Yes” gleefully.
We advanced to the reception ticket window and the guy from before opened his mouth to talk again.
“Wait a minute, bastard! This don’t think will end…”
But, unfortunately he couldn’t finish his words.
“Stop it, you big idiot! That person is not like the rest of us!”
The angry voice came from a man above.
