Autograph

The eyes of almost all women went wide as they were dumbfounded at how they could ignore him. The fact that they even met him in this place was nothing short of heavenly fortune!

Why did they think of it as a heavenly fortune?

Shun was considered the hottest mage in the Kingdom of Fiore. The Sorcerer's magazine had done well to really make that fact sink in.

And now, the women almost couldn't believe it was the same Shun. He looked good in pictures but now that they saw him face to face. They thoroughly understood why he was considered the hottest.

That handsome face, the lean and that godly athletic body that just made them lick their lips in anticipation.

The brown-haired woman who had pointed at Shun initially, immediately covered the distance between them. Before Shun's tired brain could even register what was going on, he was surrounded by several women forming a circle around his bench.

"Shun..."

"Yes?"

"You wanna run now or wait for when the situation becomes hopeless."

"Now-..." He stopped in the middle of his words as their stomach grumbled.

He then had an idea with which he could satisfy his hunger. He stood up and raised his hand to calm these women from making too much of a fuss, "Calm down, everyone…"

He gave a smile to them, which did have a calming effect on them. He looked at the women around him and started speaking, "My kitty and I were roaming around this place. I never thought anyone would recognize me. Haha…"

He pointed at Wilson as he proceeded to explain the situation. Before Wilson could say anything, Shun gave him a sharp glare which suggested 'Play Along with you dumb cat.'

In response, Wilson just let out, "Nyaaaa~ Nyaaa~."

Being forced to actually imitate a cat. Wilson could just see his predecessor Godbeasts laughing in the afterlife. He was sure they would die 

Shun continued where he left off, "I will give my autograph to the one who treats my pet cat and me to some food."

"What!? Just a treat! I will pay for it!"

"Shut it, you old hag! Why would Shun want to spend time with an ugly hag like you!? He should spend time with a youthful woman like me!"

"Haah! Old hag!? I am just 31 this year, you bitch! I can make him happy in more ways than you can imagine, you bitch!"

"A slut!" Some of the women whispered with a low voice as they heard the words of that woman.

Their argument slowly started getting louder.

The sweat-drop behind Shun's head continued to get larger as he wanted to shout out loud "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TREAT ME TO SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD!"

Naturally, he couldn't say that out loud. Their illusion of his perfect image would break. Any other time, he wouldn't have cared about it too much, but right now, he really wanted to eat some food.

He didn't really want to stoop as low as stealing some food.

As he let out a tired sigh over what was happening in front of him. He realized that this argument wasn't going to be over any time soon.

Just as he sighed, he felt a tug on the long sleeves of his shirt. It was the long brown-haired woman who smiled at him and mouthed, "Let's goo…"

Shun was more than happy to follow her. Wilson followed after Shun while the ladies back there didn't realize it.

~~

They kept on walking for some time. Finally, the two went inside a restaurant which was quite some distance from the bench they were sitting just a while ago.

It seems that the woman had placed some thought in choosing this restaurant.

After having eaten their fill, Shun finally felt like he had the energy to think. The first thing he did was observe this Brown Haired woman.

As far as he could recall, he had never seen a woman of her appearance. Not in a Magazine, not in crowds. It was their first meeting.

"So… What do you want? An autograph? Or something else that I can do?" Shun asked with a somewhat happy tone.

The woman didn't seem to hold back and said intimately, "I can ask for anything I want, right?"

There was nothing out of order, so Shun just shook his head, "Yes. As long as it's in my capability, I wouldn't mind it."

"Umm… Can I have a photo with you in the nearby studio? And your autograph on my handkerchief?"

Shun stayed silent for several seconds before he agreed to her request.

It didn't take him long to fulfil her request. Though it was strange to see her looking at her handkerchief with such a fanatic look.

She even started to smell it as if she was a dog and had a pleasurable look.

Shun was somewhat speechless as he saw that look on her face. He thought it would be better for himself to run away from here quickly.

~~

For the next few months, Shun decided to start training in a mountain near a city named Larion. He had continued to get more robust in the hill, increasing the raw power of his Azure Flames.

He wished to be ready to combat against that Dragon King Acnologia and the evolution of Wilson, a Godbeast.

The one thing which motivated him the most was the realization that Acnologia was a Dragon Slayer like himself. A Dragon Slayer who had trained for 400 years, he had acquired the power of the Dragons.

He also realized one thing, there was no way to outclass or equal Acnologia unless he entered the Dragon Force. However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't go in that state by himself.

Zagnivol had not mentioned much about it. It was just that there were cases of some Dragon Slayers entering the Dragon Force state when they eat something with a highly concentrated power source like an Etherion stone or the person is at the location with highly concentrated magic particles.
