Battle Between Adventurers (1)

*********

However, that is also a breach of rules that were established by the Adventurers Guild, and from that time, she experienced bullying or being taken advantage of by the other high-rank adventurers around her.

From that day, she swore that time she would become stronger enough to be by herself and that is where she is right now.

She snapped from her thoughts about the past and looked at the commotion that's happening and then, she looked at the other bulky man.

The crimson-haired woman isn't the type of person that would remember someone else's name, even though she happened to team up with them temporarily or not, but there are times when she remembers a person's name and the reason for that?

Something that is akin to curiosity or interest.

That bulky and arrogant man, the crimson-haired woman remembered that idiot's name is Fenix.

Just analyzing those two, even though she didn't want to admit it, but the crimson-haired woman would be rooting for Ryan in this match.

Why? Although Ryan had a small disposition in terms of body size since Fenix's body seemed like double the size of Ryan's.

Also, Ryan might be somewhat reckless when it comes to his swordsmanship, but seeing him right now, that man had a calm and clear stance as he draws his sword and pointing towards at Fenix.

Fenix, while the other man had a smirk on his face, but he had an aggressive aura that surrounds him and for some reason, Scarlette frowns at it because of that.

'That aura he's emitting… couldn't be…?'

She thought as she looked at Ryan to check if he was alright, and she saw how Ryan still managed to remain calm in that situation.

'He even managed to calm himself not to burst out his anger right now, based on his aura alone. I bet that earlier, they had already fought hard enough, and this could be another round of their fight.'

Seeing Ryan's composed manner makes the crimson-haired woman frowned and wondered herself because this is not the person Scarlette recalls about him.

'Would you look at that? Tsk! This is interesting yet at the same time, it's irritating. Also, the mere fact that this "Ryan Wayne" is still serving [that person] makes me wanted to hack them alive by just thinking about it.'

Scarlette thought as her expression darkened even more as she remembered those two people from her distant past.

From her memories, the crimson-haired woman knew those gentlemen were hot-tempered youths back then and now, it seems that "Ryan" had matured a little bit compared from before.

At that moment, the crimson-haired woman suddenly recalled the sword form that Ryan was trying to re-create back in the forest where they stayed there for the night.

With that thought, the crimson-haired woman shook off her head, thinking about that scene from that time and snapped herself back once again as she watched the commotion that's happening right now.

'Show me what you got, "Ryan". Let see how far you're going at your disguise…'

Scarlette thought and smirks under her veil while her crimson lilac-colored eyes coldly stared at the scene in front of her.

.....

......….

.........…

At the scene where the commotion took place, Ryan felt his veins would pop out because of the person in front of him who attacked him without reason.

This arrogant man should be thankful that he wasn't in Ryan's homeland because attacking a noble is a serious crime and the result could lead into execution on the spot.

As of the moment, he is under disguise and an outlander of this land, and he didn't want to attract that much attention that he had right now.

Scarlette left him earlier and waited for the crimson-haired woman to come back but he didn't expect a sudden assault that welcomes him, just like the situation right now.

'This arrogant man is like a proud peacock spreading its feather to show off to the public and he even had the nerve to smirked back at me as if provoking me or something.'

He glared back at the assailant who keeps on smirking at him while he place his hammer on his shoulder, showing off his muscle strength to him and that's what irritates him the most.

'How dare he…! Tsk! Just looking at this arrogant man makes me wanted to kill him on the spot, but I couldn't possibly do that here since I'm nothing but an outlander of this land and if I happened to be caught on something troublesome then, consequences would fall into my head.'

Ryan thought and frowned as he looked at the arrogant man since he couldn't remember encountering someone like this person and he hadn't stayed in this place that long.

'By the way, how does Scarlette manage to get along with these kinds of people?'

Get along? Wait a minute. That's a wrong statement there.

From what he observed from the first time he met Scarlette and up today, the crimson-haired woman is cold and indifferent to others and doesn't like to talk that much.

Ryan is no exception to that rule as well, even though he is her companion. They were companions but the crimson-haired woman placed a huge wall between them and Ryan knew that Scarlette didn't trust him that much, which is pretty understandable.

'Scarlette might have accepted me as her companion but not to the point that she would place her trust in me, especially since I'm hiding my true identity to her.'

As he thought about it, he shook off those thoughts for now and focused on the problem in front of him.

Ryan didn't want to fight in the first place but this arrogant man in front of him would take "no" for an answer and they had fought already earlier.

He secretly roamed his eyes around the area to look out for Scarlette.

'Just where the heck is she? I don't want to fight anymore, and this arrogant prick of a man is causing a lot of disturbance in the area.'

Ryan thought and sighed as he couldn't spot the crimson-haired woman within the area.
