A Weirdo.. Or Misunderstood?

Previously, Cyrus has met a woman whose name is Pyra, the both of them somehow getting along despite meeting for the first time, but he just went along with it even though she was definitely uncomfortable to be around with.

Now currently being dragged over by Pyra around the town to get to the adventurer clan, only to be stopped as Cyrus looks up to see what's happening. A crowd was forming as both he and she went to investigate it. With Cyrus asking. "I wonder what's it about.. Do you know?"

As Pyra shrugged. "Don't know, I don't think this town ever has any fights unless it's something serious.." Both of them slipping through the people, to reach at the noise to see 5 people circling around 1 person who had white and black hair. While the 5 of them almost looked like muggers, or perhaps bandits in this world.

"Kid, just give back what you stole from us!" Said by Bandit 1, while the guy who had the split black and white hair just tilted his head in silence. The bandits being impatient because of him not cooperating. Suddenly all of them lunged at him with various kind of weapons, a dagger, a sword, a spear and such. But before they could even get close to him, a sudden aura comes out of him, the aura being big that it covered almost the crowd as everyone felt it from the inside, and outside. The pressure was heavy, both Cyrus and Pyra looked at fear at the guy, the bandits now hesitating and shaking as they couldn't properly breath, all bandits passing out as they fell to their knees then on the ground. Not being able to handle it, as the aura then disappeared. With the crowd looking afraid and worried, if the guy can be trusted if he's that strong, or to be feared. Once the commotion ended, the people left, leaving Pyra and Cyrus standing in front of the unknown guy, as he looks at the two of them.

"Do you.. Two need something?" Said by the guy, as he walks towards them while passing by the passed out bandits on the ground, his clothes looking a bit too messy now that they got a close look. As Pyra instinctively went in front of Cyrus, protecting him just in case the man attacks or does something.

"Oh. Don't worry I won't attack. I'm just lost." The guy nodded, with Pyra smirking as she raised an eyebrow. "Lost you say? I can tell kid. Though, you shouldn't walk around having that kind of energy around you.." She said feeling a bit worried about Cyrus's safety, whilst she used the skill 'Check' to see the guy's reputation. Seemingly enough, the results was shocking.

Title: Noble Prodigy.

Name: Von Tool | Species: Human |

Rank: Beginner | Level: 10 | Occupation: None.

Skills: None.

Passive: Raging BloodLust. ( This passive allows the user to emit a heavy pressure of aura that consists his bloodlust when the user has the desire to kill. It greatly increases the user's physical and magical abilities. )

Magic: Light and Dark.

Pyra getting more worried due to the passive he currently has, if they ever tried to fight when he has that kind of passive. He'd be able to reach a Master rank's magic and strength at the same time. The rank below hers.

While the man now named Tool, looks at them confused. His eyes showing no life, his face being expressionless as he gets closer to them. Pyra having no choice but to use one of her skills in order to escape. "FireFly!"

Both Pyra and Cyrus gets devoured by a huge flame until it shrunk into a tiny one, as it flew away immediately and quickly in a rush.

"What was that about?" Tool looked at the tiny fire that almost looked like a fly, flow away from the wind, as he stood there then at the bandits before grunting, walking away from the scene he doesn't want to clean up.

Pyra and Cyrus now ending up at the front of the adventurer clan's front doorstep as she sighed in relief. "Phew! That was close!"

As Cyrus looked at her a bit worried and confused. "Why did you do that? Was he that dangerous?" With Pyra nodding as her expression changed, now being serious because of what she had seen.

"Yes he was. No human or monster can have a passive that's based on feelings or emotions. That was the first I've seen a man have a passive like that throughout my journey.. So it's best to be safe than sorry." Cyrus now understanding that even in this world, emotions have more control over the people than their minds, nodding in response as he sighed, then Pyra looked at Cyrus seeing him down and gloomy, as she smirks then wrapping her arm around his neck while snickering.

"All right! Enough of this boring talk! Let's get you registered!" He sighed but chuckled, thankful that she can be positive and cheerful at a time like this. Both of them now entering the adventure clan.

Timer for Luck's Gambit: 369 Minutes Left ( 6 Hours, 9 Minutes )

Current Time: 4:56 PM

When both entered the building, it was surprisingly clean and tidy, the adventurers had their own space and what to talk about, hearing conversations such as:

"I wish I get a better weapon soon.."

"It was massive! Like she was huge! I've never seen a beast like it!"

And so on. Cyrus and Pyra arriving at the counter as she clears her throat. A woman with glasses then arrives as she was holding a lot of.. paperwork, the both of them looking a bit worried about her situation. Yet the woman looked at the two of them once she organized it.

"Ah!- Hello Ms. Pyra! And this is?" She looks at Cyrus, while he waves hello. "Hey Penn. This is Cyrus, he'll be registering as an adventurer.." He nodded in response, whilst also looking around the building to see people having a chat and also flexing their weapons. Seems normal, until he heard what Pyra said. "And he'll be joining my party!" She said happily. While his whole world shattered, before butting in the conversation as he stood beside Pyra.

"Hey hey! I never said anything about joining!" Cyrus exclaimed quickly so that Penn doesn't register him in her party, as she chuckled nervously. "I.. I see.." Then Pyra interrupting the conversation.

"Why not?! Who's going to watch you when I'm not here!" Pyra said a bit annoyed and mad, while Cyrus responded back a bit angrily, his forehead pushing against Pyra's despite the height difference. "I'm still figuring out what I'm trying to do! Don't treat me like I'm your child or sibling!"

"So what if I do want to treat you like it?!" Pyra said pushing her forehead back against his.

"Well I don't so deal with it!"

The both of them now being annoyed at each other, since they didn't end up agreeing to one another's terms. But for Penn, she giggled, as if they did almost look like siblings. After that, Cyrus then began talking to Penn while Pyra was pouting at the sidelines. "So I just want to register for now. Although is there some kind of ranking system here?"

He asked before Penn nodded, now giving him a silver badge that had the symbol of the adventurer clan. "A- Ah yes! It does!"

And so, Penn began explaining the various rankings this world has, and it seemed simple enough when he was listening, the rankings being:

Beginner ( Dø )

↓

Intermediate ( Re )

↓

Adventurer ( Mi )

↓

Master ( Fa )

↓

Grandmaster ( Sol )

↓

Champion ( La )

↓

Heavenly ( Ti )

↓

Godlike ( Do )

Surprisingly, it was based off musical notes which only made him understood it quicker, nodding as the conversation between Cyrus and Penn goes on about what the rules are, what the adventurer does, and so on.

Meanwhile, Pyra was talking to other adventurers, she was getting along with them quite well. Then one asked. "So is that gonna become your boyfriend again?" The adventurer teased before receiving a smack from the head by Pyra, as she chuckled. "Hell no! Besides I don't see him like that, he's too young for me and I'm into men in my age." She responded, feeling proud. "Then what do you see him as?" They asked again as she was a bit hesitant for a bit, then responding back genuinely. "I see him like a student for me, or maybe.. a little brother. I never had one so.." The adventurers pats Pyra's head and shoulder, smiling as they kept talking about their adventures and what they had done.

While Cyrus finished his conversation with Penn, as he was about to go, she asks him. "W- Wait! Are you perhaps going to join the program tomorrow?.." Which got him curious as he leans his arms on the counter while raising an eyebrow. "Program? What's that?" He asked curious, then she responds. "I- It's a program from the academy nearby.. I.. It's to teach young people like you all about how magic works and such.." She nods as he felt the need to join that, nodding in response. "I'll think about it."

Then the door opens with a heavy aura getting in. All the adventurers pulling out their weapons as Cyrus looked at the front door. With Pyra noticing whose aura this is, it was..

"Oh." Tool said dead panned as he went inside, his aura disappearing since it may have caused everyone to feel threatened and scared.

"You again?!" Pyra exclaimed, both Cyrus and her didn't expect to see him here in all places, as she walks towards him before standing in front of him. "What are you even doing here?! Huh?!"

"I'm just here to join the clan. And it's nice to meet you two again." Tool said still having a dead panned expression while waving his hand to Cyrus and Pyra.

At first it may seem like he's a threat, but at the same time he's harmless when he doesn't have that aura. Cyrus then saying. "People here are very.. Interesting." Said by the gambling addict with a chuckle.
