Chapter 14 – Guild master
Ren released the pressure he was emitting and looked at the man who suddenly appeared before him. The person who appeared was a tall man wearing disheveled clothes, his body language and the look he was giving feels like he’s saying everything was so tedious. He had not the intensity of a powerful man, he felt like an unmotivated employee, a lazy bum. Yet from the way he suddenly appeared and that he wasn’t bothered by the pressure Ren was emitting, indicated he was anything but normal. It was obvious that aside from Ren this man was the most powerful person in the building.
“Who might you be? And why should I listen to you? Why should I spare these fools that attacked me?” Ren could already guess who the man in front of him was. It was easy to guess, since even though nobody noticed how he appeared, Ren saw that he came from the second floor of the building. He was also the only one who was concealing his mana flow.
This man was obviously the Guild master of this branch. Knowing this Ren had successfully done step one of his plan now it was time for step two.
The guild master who had heard Ren’s question answered while scratching his messy green hair. “Well the paperwork that I need to file if you killed them would be horrendous. I wanted to rest later, but if you kill them I’ll be forced by that scary secretary of mine to do the paperwork. Seriously what kind of secretary threatens her boss? Why won’t she do the paperwork for me instead? Isn’t that part of her job? If it’s not it should be. The only thing she ever does is nag like she’s my mom.”
The Guild Master went on and on about how bad his secretary was and what a drag it was to do paperwork. Basically, he was complaining about his job, and how his secretary forces him to do said job.
“I don’t really care about your paperwork. Also, you still haven’t introduced yourself.” Ren interrupted the Guild Master while he was speaking badly about his secretary which he was oddly passionate about.
“Oh, right the name’s Nezard Netter. I am the twenty-seventh Guild master of the Grenton Branch. Nice to meet you aspiring… Um… Oh right, Adventurer. So umm yada yada yada, welcome to the guild.” Nezard unenthusiastically responded, it was a great difference from when he was passionately complaining about his secretary.
“So Guild master, what will you give me in exchange for sparing these fools? You don’t expect me to not kill them after they tried to kill me, do you? Obviously, if you want them to live, you must give something as compensation.”
The idiotic party that attacked Ren, couldn’t move from the spot they were sitting on since they felt that any sudden movements from them might result in their sudden death. They all hoped that the Guild Master could help them, but the more they heard from him the less confident they got.
“How about I give you the position of Guild Master? You know the only requirement to being a Guild Master is that you need to be strong… Oh right you would also need to become an S class adventurer, and have at least two recommendations from other S rank adventurers, but as long as I convinced a few old grumps you should be good to go. So what do you think? Will you accept this stup- wonderful job? Come on it’s a once in a lifetime offer. Becoming the guild master is every adventurer’s dream.”
The other adventurers and staff members of the guild who were listening in Ren and Nezard’s conversation had their mouths hanging open. The Guild Master was actually offering his position to someone who isn’t even an adventurer, and for what? To save some newbie fools.
Valdel who was also listening in was surprised by the sudden jump of status Ren was receiving. They came here so that Ren and Lara could register as new adventurers the lowest rank, now Ren was about to become a Guild Master, as expected of his best friend and rival. Now he needs to become a knight captain to match him.
Lara on the other hand simply thought that the Guild Master status was beneath Ren, he doesn’t really need it. Also, it might actually restrict his abilities if he becomes the Guild Master, so it wasn’t a good offer at all.
His two friends were already accepting that he was the future Guild Master, but Ren himself was baffled at what had happened. He wasn’t expecting the conversation to go like this. He was going to use the foolish party as leverage to demand what he wants from the Guild Master, all these were part of the plan, he simply wasn’t expecting the Guild Master to actually relinquish his title and hand it to him so willy nilly.
‘Is there something wrong with this guy’s head? Or are all humans outside of the village just stupid? I’ve been a human for fifteen years now, and I still can’t really understand them. They have so many restrictions, they lie about their desires, and they do so many random idiotic things.’
At this moment Ren was once again baffled by the human species. How was a race so similar to looking like demons so different from them.
While Nezard was waiting for Ren’s reply he suddenly felt a chill-inducing presence behind him. Nezard quickly took evasive measures and stood behind Ren’s group. There at the spot where he was standing a spear suddenly pierced the floor.
The one who threw it was a beautiful serious looking woman with pinkish blond hair tied up into a ponytail. She picked up the spear that she threw and pointed it at the Guild Master. She was smiling but the aura she had was quite frightening.
When Ren saw this, the thought that popped into his head was not how beautiful nor how sexy, nor how big the woman’s b.r.e.a.s.t was, no none of those normal teenage boy thoughts popped into his head. What he thought when he saw the woman was, this woman was strong, and he wanted to do battle with her.
“Guild Master, what is this I’m hearing about you relinquishing your position? To a newcomer no less, and one who was messing around in the Guild.” The Pinkish Blond-haired beauty glared at Ren while sending a bit of killing intent his way.
Ren on the other hand simply shrugged his shoulders at the lukewarm killing intent. He actually found the glaring woman quite cute, for doing something like that. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝘯𝘦𝘵
“But Hilda there was no other way. He was going to kill these guys, and he had the right to do so.” Nezard explained to the angry Hilda.
Hilda hearing Nezard’s excuse sighed in exasperation. “No matter what you say this is not how the Guild Master should act in this situation. Go back to your office now!”
When Nezard heard Hilda’s commanding tone, he reluctantly returned to his office.
“As for you guys, Everyone related to this incident head to the Guild Master’s office as well.” When Hilda said these words she was specifically glaring at Ren. This made Lara move in front of Ren and she glared at Hilda as well.
“Follow me.” Hilda didn’t bother with Lara anymore and turned around, telling them to follow her to the Guild Master’s office.
