A Familiar Face

I saw him coming towards me and let him. As soon as he raised his sword high to bring it down on me, I raised my palm to meet it.

Much to the shock of everyone else, they thought I was going to die. However, what happened shocked the even more.

As soon as the sword made contact with my palm it stopped dead and cracks actually started to appear on it. Until it shattered into pieces.

John: "I-Impossible. How di-"

He went to say something else when suddenly he fell unconscious. It was because I use my [Will of the Conqueror]. Many people around also felt the pressure I released and went into a cold sweat.

I turned around to Eina with a small smile on my face.

Silvv: "I hope this can clear up some of the doubt placed upon me."

Eina: "O-of course, I-I'll just t-take this then."

She began to turn around, clearly still quite shaken. The fear and hesitation started to leave her as I gave her one of my best smiles, she had finished with the registration form and came back towards me.

Eina: "All done. Congratulations on becoming an adventurer, Silvv. Now, I saw that you don't have a familia. How did you get so strong without one?"

Silvv: "Interested are you Eina? Would you like me to lay it all bare?"

She blushed hard after a few seconds because she understood the hidden meaning behind my words.

Eina: "O-of course not, I-I apologise."

Silvv: "Hahaha, you're forgiven. After all, who could stay mad at such a beauty like you."

Eina's face became all red and I thought I could see literal steam coming out of her head.

Everyone in the guild looked at me in shock and awe as I casually walked out of the guild, giving a small wave to Eina as if nothing ever happened.

Since it was getting late and I was quite hungry I decided to go to the Hostess of Fertility, a pub I'd seen that serves delicious food.

During the short walk to the pub, I heard groans of pain coming from an alley. As soon as I heard them I turned around and went straight into the alley.

What I saw were three men that looked to be adventures, beating a little girl.

Seeing this I walked up to them with a blank look on my face. The girl turned to look at me right in my eyes, pleading with her eyes.

Soon, the adventurer scum looked in my direction. Upon seeing me… they got quite angry.

???: "Oi oi, who the fuck are you?"

???: "Fuck off brat."

???: "This is familia business ya little shi-"

Before he could finish his sentence I was next to him, a trail of lightning the only indicator I had moved.

[A/N: Think The Flash's lightning trail except its white. Will leave a link in author note.]

I punched him straight in the jaw and felt the bones shatter, I then proceeded to do the same to the other two. I did it all so quick they only noticed me when they felt the pain. That'll stop them from using that filthy mouth of theirs.

I looked at the three with a burning hatred in my eyes, until it all left when my eyes fell upon the young girl.

Now that I was closer I saw that she looked to be about 12, with chestnut brown hair matted with blood and chestnut brown eyes...

Holy shit. This girl is Liliruca Arde. The Pallum that was abused and extorted when her shitty parents abandoned her. I am glad I ran into her now so that I can put an end to her suffering.

Lili: "T-thank you, mister. M-my name is Lili."

She said whilst blushing profusely while sneaking glances at my face. I noticed the bruises and dried blood that caked her body and felt awful. How could I almost forget about Lili?

Whilst thinking about Lili I also remembered Haruhime, the Renard (fox demi-human) forced to work as a prostitute in the red light district. Although she hadn't lost her virginity the fact that she thinks she has to some random old guy is heartwrenching. I vowed I would save her too.

I snapped back to reality when I heard Lili start to cry. I patted her head gently and told her it was all right. Then I wished for 1,000 high potions to be placed in my storage space.

I gave one to Lili and she was surprised I just took a potion out of thin air, but even more surprised that it was a high potion. Usually these cost around 10,000 valis. A considerable amount for low-levelled adventurers.

Silvv: "Drink, Lili"

When Lili heard me say her name she turned bright red and drank the potion quickly to hide her embarrassment.

Silvv: "Cmon, let's go get something to eat. I'm starving."

During my sentence my stomach growled, causing Lili to giggle. I helped Lili up and we started to walk to my original destination, the Hostess of Fertility.
