74 (Hidden)

(Hayato's POV)

Maya and I woke up early, she and I were already dressed after she gave me her first time last night, she still has a very uncomfortable face

I frowned seeing her and I say her with a gentle voice " How do you feel? "

Maya makes a sweet smile and says " It still hurts a little, but I'm very happy right now " She approached me to hug my neck to then kiss me then she says with a sorrowful face " Thank you for what you did at night, I know that you had very bad memories with your old body and you still transformed just for my request "

When we separate I say to her with a smile " It's ok, now don't force yourself and stay here to rest, I need to go to the Adventurers Guild for the reward " Then I walk to the door but...

Maya grabs my left hand and with a bowed head she says softly " I-I want to go with you "

I make a grin and I say to her " No, you are grounded, I told you how is my sight because of you, right? "

" Ugh...." Maya bowed her head with guilt and whispered " Yes "

" Good, now wait here " I smile and open the door then I saw Alyra standing there seeing me with a startled face

I frown seeing her face and I say with doubt " Alyra, what's wrong? you look startled "

Alyra points at Dye's room as she says with worry " Hayato, Dye isn't waking up "

I make a carefree face as I say to her " That's normal, she always sleeps like a log, try to shake her a little, I have to go now "

Alyra shakes her head and says " No, Hayato, I know how she sleeps, but this time is different she even transformed into a Divine Beast while she was sleeping "

" Hmm? Well, that's strange, she never did that before, come, let's go see her " I began to walk to Dye's room with Maya and Alyra behind me and when I open Dye's room, I saw her sleeping in her Divine Beast form on the bed, the bed looks like it's about to break by the weight

" Hayato, are you feeling this? " Said Maya in shock

" Yes, her energy is increasing " I said with a serious face

" Why is that happening? " Alyra said with surprise

" I don't know, she never did that before " I responded to her with a serious face

" Then what is happening to her? " Alyra sees Dye in surprise

" Maybe is because of the Dragon's heart " Said Maya as she approaches Dye

" But that was almost a week ago " I said to her with doubt

Maya turns to see me with a smile and says " Yes, her powers grew just a little bit, but according to her, she should have increased her strength more than that "

Alyra giggles remembering " Hehe, she was depressed after that, but after eating she was happy again "

" Then why is this happening now and not before? " I asked Maya with doubt

Maya makes a thoughtful expression and says " I think that maybe the Dragon's heart wasn't digested completely until now, so the effects didn't show up before, Hayato her principal attribute is lightning, right? "

I nod and I say " Yes, I never saw her use something else, why are you asking? "

Maya makes a sly smile and says " Perhaps if you stay by her side using your Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) you could help her to evolve faster or better, after all, she is draining the surrounding energy "

" Ok, but I will do it with a clone, I have to go to the Adventurers Guild for the reward " I begin to make hand seals, and " Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) " *PUFF* a clone appears next to me and he walks towards Dye and when he was next to her, he activates his Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour)

" Hmm? " I open my eyes with surprise, the lightning armor on my clone seemed to be attracted to Dye, and even some of the sparks begin to surround her

Alyra was as impressed as I was and says " Is working, she seems to be absorbing your energy "

I make a serious face when I say " That's good, but at this rate, the clone could disappear in half-hour or maybe less, Maya stay with Dye, Alyra let's go together to the Adventurers Guild "

" Yes " Maya and Alyra responded at the same time. Alyra puts on her Akatsuki robes and Maya did too then she stayed near the clone and Alyra and I left the hostel, heading to the Adventurers Guild

We went running towards the Guild when Alyra asked me " Hayato, the space-time magic that you use isn't the one I know, right? Can you tell me how it works? "

" Well, you see this... " I take out a Kunai that she grabbed

" This strange dagger, is what you use? " Alyra inspected the Kunai with a serious face

" Not the dagger, but the letters... I mean the symbols in it " I responded to her with a smile

Alyra blinks her eyes repeatedly seeing the kanjis " Yes, what about them? "

" Those allow me to teleport to any place where I have placed them and they can't be erased, well, if I die they will disappear " I make a grin seeing her

" That's fascinating and terrifying at the same time " Alyra said with a serious face

" Why is terrifying? " I said with a doubtful expression

" You already said it " Alyra has a frowning face when she sees me

I make a nervous laugh " Haha, right let's go "

We arrived at the Adventurers Guild but something is happening some Adventurers are leaving the Guild fast, then one Adventurer stopped just when he passed by my side and says, he wears brown metallic armor carrying a rolled poster in his left hand

The adventurer sees me with doubt and says " Excuse me, you are Hayato the S-Rank adventurer? "

" Yes, why do you ask? " I responded to him with a calm face

" Thank God I found you fast, the Guild Master send me to search you " The adventurer makes a relieved expression

" Why? " I frown seeing the adventurer

The adventurer smiles and says " I don't know, he sent adventurers to search all the S-Rank adventurers that are in the city, he wants you to go to meet him "

Alyra and I turn to see each other and I say " She can come too? she is my partner "

" Of course, please come with me " The Adventurer guide us inside the reception, and from there we climbed some stairs to the second floor, there we saw a wide hallway with various rooms all closed

" This way " Said the Adventurer and he guided us to the last door of the hallway the only one who doesn't have a door next to it, we entered and saw only three adventurers sitting on a couch chatting they are Dwarfs. The room is very large with four couches in a square position it's more like a meeting room

One Dwarf wears a helmet that covers all his head and some parts of his face, he has a robust complexion, a long red and white beard with dark blue eyes, he has a small but sturdy hammer between his hands, wears a very shiny armor that covers her forearms legs and chest just like the other two next to him

The second Dwarf was stroking his white beard while he sees us with a face of interest, he doesn't wear a helmet which shows his long white hair that reaches to the shoulders and his wrinkled face, even though he is very old he has a strong complexing the best between the three dwarfs, he is the one sitting in the center of the couch with a big ax of double edge, between his legs, his eyes are light blue

The last Dwarf wears a helmet with a sharp tip at the top but it isn't as big as the first Dwarf helmet, but it looks more resilient, he is the one who looks younger among the three dwarfs, with his short red hair and short beard of the same color

" Please, sit down, the others should arrive soon " and then he left the room. Alyra and I sat on the couch in front of the Dwarfs

' They are strong ' I thought as I saw them

The Dwarf with the white beard smiles and laughs softly " Hohoho, so you are an S-Rank adventurer, you are very young "

I grin and says " Well, actually, I became an S-Rank adventurer yesterday "

" Hahaha! " Now he laughs loudly making the other two Dwarfs grin " An S-Rank is an S-Rank new or old. My name is Harduid Smeltthane " Said Harduid with a smile then he points at the Dwarf with a white and red beard

" He is my son Vandrour " and finally he points at the Dwarf with a red beard " And he is my grandchild, Dworshak "

" Hello, kid " Said Vandrour with a grin

" You must be thought to be an S-Rank, I will like to have a friendly match with " Dworshak makes a huge smile nodding

I smiled and say " It will be a pleasure to fight you, my name is Hayato Uchiha and she is my partner Alyra Lionhart "

Dworshak makes a teasing smile and says " More than a partner, she looks like your girlfriend "

Alyra's face went completely red after Dworshak's comment and she bowed her head with shyness

" Hahaha! " Dworshak laughs loudly " So I was right! "

Vandrour smiles and laughs " Haha, enough teasing the kids, now, have you made a mission as an S-Rank at least? "

I grinned and said " Yes, yesterday I made my first mission "

" Good, I'm not going to ask you what mission you make, but I'm sure that was a difficult mission " Harduid nodded with a satisfied smile

I make a humble smile " More or less " Then someone entered the room, they were three more adventurers and the Vice-Guild master

The first one was a handsome man with short red spiky hair and blue eyes, he has a long sword on his waist and a red helmet under his armpit, he wears complete red armor, the man has a proud smile while he is talking with his other two partners, he looks around 26 years old

The second adventurer is a voluptuous woman with long black hair with yellow eyes, she wears a dark purple robe that fits her like a glove, she has a wooden staff with a white crystal on the top, and she is giggling happily hearing his partner, she looks around 28 years old

The last one is a pretty woman with short blond hair and green eyes, she wears a black robe, she looks a little thinner compared to the other woman thanks to her robe, she has a short wooden staff on her left hand, she is smiling happily seeing her two partners and she looks around 25 years old

' These three, I can't feel their strength either '

" Alright, the Guild Master should arrive soon, let's wait here until then " Said the Vice-Guild master with a smile he makes then sat on the couch on my right side and he sits on the empty one

" Ok " Said the blond woman with a big smile

" Tch, what a waste of time, what does he want from us? " The man said with an annoyed expression

" Don't be like that Aaron, the Guild master maybe needs us " The voluptuous woman smiles at the man named Aaron

Aaron turns to see Harduid with a mocking smile and says " Look what we have here, old man, I thought you retired already "

Harduid smirks and says " You will do it before me, kid, I'm still stronger than you "

" Hmph " Aaron snorts coldly and ignores him, then he turns to see me with a displeased look

" A kid? *SIGH* I think you confused the room, this is a meeting for S-Rank adventurers " Aaron makes a mocking grin

I smile coldly but before I can speak the Vice-Guild master spoke " You shouldn't underestimate him, he is an S-Rank adventurer even if he looks young "

The two women and Aaron turns to see him with incredulous looks but Harduid, Dworshak, and Vandrour show a small smile

Aaron narrows his eyes and says " You are kidding me right? maybe the person who evaluated him made a mistake "

" I never make mistakes when I evaluate someone " The Vice-Guild master responds to him coldly making Aaron frown then the Vice-Guild master turns to see me and says with a smile " I thought that you will go to make the mission that I gave you, why are you still here? "

I grinned and I say " I already finish that "

" What!? you killed the Banshee already!? " The Vice-Guild master yells with surprise and he wasn't the only one surprised all the presents saw me with the same expression as him except for Alyra that was smiling happily

" Impossible, you must be laying " Aaron says with annoyance

" If you don't believe me, you can go to check the place, because there was nothing left of her to prove her death " I smiled at Aaron, Aaron was about to say something but then someone enters the room, it was a man with pointed ears and long blond hair, he looks around 20 years old and wears a white armor, he is very handsome

" Finally! we almost die from boredom here waiting for you " Vandrour said with a huge smile

" Come on, I'm not that late, besides, I had to wait for someone " The blond man said with a huge smile

" You are very strange for being an Elf Guild Master, then who is this someone? " Harduid said with curiosity

' So this is the Guild Master, an Elf, the first Elf I see in this world, I can't feel his power at all but he is very dangerous '

" You can enter now my lord " Said the Guild Master and a very handsome young man around 20 years old enters the room, he has black hair and green eyes

Alyra and I frown seeing him then she whispered " Hayato, is that man from yesterday "

I keep seeing him and I whispered to her " No "

Then the Guild Master smiles and says " The Crown Prince Anthony, wants to request something from all of you "
