A Fiery Lady..

Previously on the recent chapter. Cyrus had figured out what his current goal or mission is. And that is to find a adventure clan or guild around town and offer his healing services to gain money, and to learn more about how their society works. As he is seen walking and looking at different signs above the doors of the buildings, seemingly confused due to him not knowing what it means. "If only I can understand this.."

Then suddenly, the symbols began to turn into this world's native language. Which Arc obviously gave Cyrus the ability to understand of course, it came from the bonus. Seeing words such as ' Craftman's Arts ', ' Potions of The Enchanter ', ' Weaponly Crafts ', the words being a bit too.. namesy, in a way. "Damn.. They have a way to spice their shops a bit, interesting!" He nodded.

As Cyrus kept walking without looking what's in front of him, he accidentally bumped into something hard, which he assumed was a wall, causing him to fall down on the ground as he winces his pain. "My head.. What the heck?-" Before looking up to see a tall woman in front of him with some armor covering her whole body up, yet somewhat looking fashionable as well, her height being taller than his as it kinda made him feel weak. Then the woman spoke. "Can't you watch where you're going kid?"

Cyrus replied while being nervous. "A.. Aha, that's my bad.. I was too busy trying to find something." He said before standing up and wiping the dirt and dust off of his cloak and clothes, then looking back at the woman to see her face up close to his. Which made him jump back out of fear and shock. But she didn't even make a sound.. "Hmm, you're pretty cute. And I like that!" She said before wrapping her arm around Cyrus's neck while he laughed nervously.

"Yay.." Feeling a bit uncomfortable because of her and her presence alone as well. It felt like she was the opposite of Holly, of course their hair being different as she had a short hair with brown color. Then she asks him. "So what are you looking for anyways cutie? Are you perhaps looking for a good time.." She asked while smirking, poking his cheek as he just chuckled. "Not really.. I'm trying to find some sort of clan or guild for adventurers."

Looking at her with a serious look, which made her expression change from teasing to now serious and happy. "Well then! You bumped into the right person, I so happen to be an adventurer myself. You can check my Reputation!" Cyrus raised an eyebrow as he was confused. "You can.. Check other people's Reputation?"

This made her react a bit differently, her tone of voice now confused. "Wait a minute.. don't tell me you didn't know." Cyrus casually looked away while whistling as if to ignore what she said, as she sighed before suddenly dragging him elsewhere.

Them now being in a tavern filled with people drinking, eating, and partying. Which made Cyrus question himself if this world is as happy as it seems.. Or is it all a lie? Before noticing her hand waving in front of him. "Hello? Kid? You awake?" She asked while he nodded. "Oh sorry, guess I was just lost in thought.. So why did you bring me here for.. Ms?"

The woman was busy ordering while he asks the question, yet she responded still. "The name's Pyra, and what about you kid? Is your nickname perhaps Single?" Once again, her tries of persuasion and flirtation only made him chuckle uncomfortably, since he's not looking for a maiden or a partner while he's young, it just locks him up from the freedom he has. "Mine's Cyrus, nice to meet you Pyra." Pyra coo'd feeling down he just ignored what she said, before regaining her composure as she gets to the point. "So you don't know how to check people's Reputation? Almost everyone knows, unless you're just a normal human being without any magical energy." She shrugged.

"Seriously? How do I do that?" He asked while raising an eyebrow, which she responded. "It's simple really, just say the word ' Check '." Cyrus just looked at her dumbfounded, since he didn't really know it just works like that, but of course, thankfully he learned it, then saying the word to see Pyra's Reputation. "Check."

Title: Blazing Queen.

Name: Pyra Monica | Species: Half Human / Half Beast |

Rank: GrandMaster | Level: 71 | Occupation: Wanderer.

Skills: ???

Passive: ???

Magic: Enhance and Fire.

As soon as Cyrus saw her reputation, he was shocked and surprised, his jaw dropping slightly as he didn't expect to run into someone that was 70 levels above higher than him. What is his luck today.. "That's.. Amazing! And why do you have some sort of title above your head?" He asked, as the screen of her reputation disappears, now seeing her chug down a huge cup of beer while wiping her mouth. Which made him slightly get less impressed. Then she responded. "That hits the spot! And that? You get that when you've been noticed enough by certain adventurers, and can only get a title once you've done something to impress the boss of the adventurer guild." She puts the huge cup down on the table as she leans slightly closer to Cyrus, while he began thinking. "I see.. Well that's good to kno-"

"Less yip yap, give big sis a kissy!" Pyra suddenly wrapping her arms around Cyrus's neck as she tried to go for a kiss, acting drink or IS drunk. With Cyrus pushing her face away. "Hey hey! Calm down! I think you drank too much!" As a commotion began between the two of them complaining, and yapping. Some people in the tavern couldn't help but notice them as they laughed, saying stuff as:

"Didn't expect the legendary Blazing Queen of the west to like a man, I thought she was into women."

"Kid's gonna have a tough time if he's around her.."

"Ah young love!"

"IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME, NOT HIM, ITS NOT FAIR I SAY!"

Said by the people and so on so on, before the two of them finally stopped with Pyra giving up as she pouted. "Hmph, you're such a meanie Cyru!" With Cyrus looking at her dead panned. "Who?"

Then suddenly Pyra changes the topic. "Oh yeah! You want to register in the clan right! Come I'll show you where it is!" She then stood up as she began walking towards him. "Alright alright-" Out of nowhere getting grabbed by the arm and dragged away out of the tavern running, while Cyrus just didn't know what happened. Until he heard the keeper of the tavern yell at Pyra.

"YOU FORGOT TO PAY!"

While she was laughing proudly, as Cyrus couldn't believe the person he had ended up with. "From Holly, to this. How lucky am I.."
