Chapter 323 - Battle in the Guild

"Rank-B...?" The receptionist was stunned when she saw Souta's rank in his ID. Souta's ID almost slipped out of her hands but she managed to grab ahold of herself as Souta tapped his finger in front of her.
"Can tell the guild master about it?" Souta asked as he looked into her eyes.
"Y-Yes..." The receptionist was fl.u.s.tered but he didn't care about it.
Rensmaw was just a small village. The guild master was the only B-rank in this village. The others were just C-rank and below. The C-rank here wouldn't even reach thirty in numbers. That's just how the powers of this village.
Even the village chief of this village was just a C-rank. After all, no matter how small this village is, the requirement to become a guild master was B-rank. In other words, the weakest guild master was B-rank while the guild master in the capital of some large country was A-rank, S-rank, SS-rank, and some were already at SSS-rank.
So she was surprised when a B-rank visited this place.
The receptionist quickly turned around and left to inform the guild master about Souta.
Souta sighed as he waited for the receptionist to return with guild master. He knew that his rank would shocked everyone here but he had no choice but to inform this guild.
The adventurers around didn't know why the receptionist was fl.u.s.tered. They didn't hear her say about his rank. They just saw her looked shocked after she saw his adventurer's ID.
Souta ignored those gazes as he picked his ID and placed it back in his pocket.
He could only hope that Lumilia and the rest could gather information. The trail led them here so if they investigate everything they will gather some information.
After a while, the receptionist came back. She hurriedly opened her mouth and said, "I'll lead you to the guild master's room."
"Fine." Souta nodded and he followed her.
The surrounding adventurers started at Souta's back. After Souta left, they started to talk to each other.
"Who's that person?"
"The guild master actually permitted such person to meet him."
"I can guess that man is a high-rank adventurer."
"High-rank...? Do you mean B-rank?"
"Yes. Yes. A B-rank."
"That man is too young to become a B-rank."
"Who knows... Maybe that man came from the large country."
"If that's the case then it's possible but why would a B-rank adventurer come here in this backward village?"
"I don't know and we will not know about it."
...
Souta was sitting inside a luxurious room. Opposite of him was a man in his forties. This man was the guild master of the adventurers guild of Rensmaw village.
Souta stretched out his hand and picked a cup of coffee. He smelled the fragrance before he took a sip.
"Good." He nodded in satisfaction. He liked this coffee.
"I'm going to introduce myself first. I'm Juds, the guild master of the Rensmaw branch guild." Juds said properly without disrespecting the man in front of him. Although the man in front of him looked like a teenage brat, he was still a full-fledged B-rank adventurer.
"You don't need to be formal. We're both B-rank here." Souta said as he waved his hand. "I'm Souta, a B-rank adventurer from Hebrei Kingdom."
'Hebrei Kingdom...? As expected, he's from a large country.' Juds thought while looking at Souta.
The news about the attack of the Deadly Sins hasn't reached this small village yet. So Juds didn't have any idea about it.
Souta placed down the cup of coffee and glanced at Juds. He stared intently at Juds' face before he said, "I want to know if there's a person wearing a black cloak carrying a child with long green hair that arrived here in the past few days."
Juds flinched when he heard Souta's words but he quickly returned to his normal posture as if nothing happened.
He coughed forcefully before he answered, "Is that all you need? I can let everyone assist you in your search."
'Hmm...? This guy...' Souta glanced at Juds suspiciously but he didn't let it show on his face. He smiled and said, "That's what I want. I hope to borrow the power of this branch guild to find what I want."
'This guy knows something...' Saya said to Souta.
'Yeah, I saw him flinched for a second when I describe Cl.u.s.ter and the person who took her.' Souta nodded at Saya's words.
He deliberately said those words so that he could see if this man knew about the kidnapping. Luckily for him, the guild master showed a reaction to his words. He clearly saw the change in the guild master's expression.
He was sure that this man in front of him knew what he wanted to know. If the guild master didn't know about it, he wouldn't show a reaction to his words.
'Who would think that a guild master of a branch guild is involved in this matters?' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.
'It seems that they're deeply rooted in this village if the guild master is part of their organization.' Souta said to her.
'Yeah, if that's the case then you will not be able to gather information with this method. The only thing you could do is interrogate this man.' Saya spoke slowly.
'Well, let's do that.' Souta replied to her as he stood up. He was ready to take this guild master at any moment.
"So what's in for me?" Juds asked him as he fixed his clothes. He saw Souta lean forward and placed his mouth close to his ear.
After a few moments, Souta whispered some words into his ear.
"What's for you...? Fine, I'll tell you. If you help me then you wouldn't die. I wouldn't kill you so..."
Souta stood straight and smiled, "What's your answer?"
Juds opened his eyes widely as he looked at Souta with a shocked expression.
"W-What do you mean...?! You would kill me! Do you want me to report you to headquarters?!" Juds said in a loud voice as he started to emit his energy.
"Oi! You won't help your fellow adventurer and instead, you will side with a terrorist group. I should be the one to report you." Souta said as he opened his arms with a helpless expression.
"I don't know what you're talking about. You're accusing me of something that I didn't do." Juds said strongly as his aura continued to rise.
"That green-haired girl is one of my people so I'm going to take her back. If you're going to get in my way then I'll forcefully extract information from you." Souta said.
"I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!!" Juds roared as his aura exploded and the ground vibrated heavily.
"It seems to me that you're more afraid of that organization than I. Okay, fine, I'll let you know that I'm more terrifying than that organization so if you don't want to tell me then be it." Souta's expression turned cold and the atmosphere grew heavy.
"Damn!!" Juds gathered his mana in his fist before he launched himself at Souta.
"You're not prepared at all. I'm fully equipped and you think you can fight me with yellow-grade clothes." Souta said as Juds' fist arrived in front of him.
Souta simply shifted his body to the side as the [Night Overlord's Aura] burst out of his body. He then activated the [Cat's Speed], [Triple Muscle Strengthening] and casted [Agility Boost] and [Strength Boost] on himself.
Swoosh!
A fist passed in front of him. He opened his palm and several black balls appeared on top of it.
"Turn everything..." Souta muttered as the black balls spun around and the entire gravity turned upside down.
"What?!" Juds exclaimed.
Boom!
A loud explosion occurred in the adventurers guild. The loud sound echoed throughout the entire place as the ground vibrated heavily. It gathered the attention of every people in the village.
Smoke and dust filled the area about the guild. The adventurers coughed heavily as they tried to regain their balance. The explosion caught them off guard so some of them received injuries.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several loud sounds exploded above. The atmosphere was stirred and the heavy energy in the atmosphere put pressure on the adventurers.
"Argh! My hand...! Shit!"
"What's happening?!"
"I don't know...!!"
They looked up and saw an incredible scene that they haven't seen in their entire life.
Two figures were colliding repeatedly in the sky. The two figures were so fast that they couldn't recognize their appearance. They could barely follow their movements with their eyes. Still, it was an amazing scene.
It was their first time seeing someone fought at this level.
Then, they recalled one person who had incredible power in this village. The guild master was the one who entered their mind.
"Don't tell me that's the guild master!!"
"If that's the guild master then who's the other guy?!"
"...Oi! Oi! I don't want to think about it but the young man before!"
"What?! That young man is a B-rank like the guild master!!"
