Chapter 17

Ryu looked at the incoming fist towards his face when suddenly a handle of a sword appeared in front of him, and blocked the punch, "My, my, please don't resort to violence," a voice was heard.

The woman raised a brow and turned her head towards the guy who blocked the attack, a man with long hair wearing a strange dress like clothes, he had a smile on his face, she retracted her fist and backed away, "Who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Masao Katsuo, a swordsman," Masao stood straight as he kept his usual smile.

Ryu was surprised to see Masao in this place, "So you are Masao-san," Ryu said, Masao turned his head and looked at the handsome boy, "Who are you?" he asked.

"It's me, Ryu Genkina," Ryu said with a smile.

"Ho, so you are the admin," Masao said and extended his hands, Ryu also extended his hand and shook hands with Masao.

"Don't ignore me!" the woman yelled and charged towards them , she raised her fist and attacked Masao.

*Clank!

The woman fist collided with the handle of the sword, "My, you sure are violent, I'm not really into hitting girls, but I am part of the gender equality faction, I don't mind teaching you a lesson if you won't back down," Masao said as he gave her a glare.

"Tch, then try me!" she said as she sent a punch again, Masao kept his usual face, he raised his left hand and blocked the attack and then his right hand moved at a very fast speed.

*Slap!

Time seemed to slow down for the woman as she felt pain on her cheeks, a red mark could be seen on her face, "Ooh, slay that thot Masao," Ryu cheered.

"That's too much Ryu," Masao said as he put his sword back into his waist, the woman turned her head and glared at them, "Kill them now!" she yelled, a shadow from the corner suddenly appeared and charged towards them.

"You just threatened us, we let it go, but now you sent someone to kill us, I hope you know the consequences," Ryu said as he raised his hand and pointed it towards the charging shadow.

*Swoosh!

"Aargh!!!" The shadow yelled from pain as flames from Ryu's palm came and devoured him, the woman was startled to see a magician on the group, After Ryu finished deleting the shadow that not even dust was left, he turned his head towards the woman.

Masao didn't say anything and just backed away giving Ryu a path to move forward, Ryu slowly walked closer to her, "Stop! Don't you know w-who I am!?" she yelled.

A smile appeared on Ryu's face as he said, "A girl that must be punished,"

The girl seemed to be scared from the smile and back away, Ryu extended his hands towards her, from the woman's perspective, Ryu was a demon and his hands became gigantic in her eyes, her legs started to shake from fear as tears started coming out from the corner of her eyes.

"Please, let her go," a voice was heard.

Ryu stopped and looked at the side, an old man with white hair, he seemed to be a gentleman, he had a badge on his chest with a guild master written on it.

"Please forgive her for her mistakes, she is still young and arrogant, forgive her," he said with a bow.

Ryu looked at this old man, even though he was saying that, he can't hide the power that Ryu and Masao could feel, they know this old man is strong, but still Ryu turned his head towards the woman who was crying and shaking from fear, "It's not that I don't accept your forgiveness old man, but the ones who should ask forgiveness is the ones who did something wrong," Ryu said.

The old man understood what Ryu meant, he turned towards the woman and helped her stand up, "go say sorry to them," the old man said.

"But grandpa," the girl said, but when she saw her grandfather being serious she lowered her head and bowed towards them, "I'm sorry." She said.

"That's good, but I must remind you that, not everything could be seen in appearance, don't judge them easily because if you make one mistake offending someone who would kill you if you offended them, right old man," Ryu said as he turned his head towards the old man who only smiled.

"You are right," the old man said.

…

After everything had calmed down, Ryu and Masao sat on a wooden chair, in front of them was the old man, "Nice to meet you again, my name is Misurugi, the guild master," he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you too, my name is Ryu Genkina, and this is Katsuro Masao," Ryu introduced themselves.

"Nice to meet you too," Masao said with his usual smile.

"Now let's get to the point, you said you defeated an Orc Lord?" Misurugi confirmed.

"Yes," Ryu nodded.

"May I ask where you found this orc lord?" Misurugi asked.

"The Swamp Forest," Ryu replied.

"Hm, the one with the Orc settlement?" Misurugi asked,

"Yeah, I already erased their Orc settlement from the swamp forest," Ryu said.

"Hmm, that is a great feat, we will give you rewards and a rank up to B rank," Misurugi said.

"Oh, that is good," Ryu nodded.

"I will go get it now, please wait here for a while," Misurugi said and stood up.

Ryu nodded and turned his head towards Masao, "When did you get here Masao?" Ryu asked.

"Just today, I got lost you see," Masao said with a blush but he was still smiling.

"Eh? You have the system map you know," Ryu said.

"Oh yeah, it was helpful, but I still got lost," Masao said.
