Shakhtar Kingdom

Shakhtar kingdom is located under the feet of a huge mountain covered with snow with huge walls surrounding it, the castle is the only structure that could be seen from the outside thanks to that it's constructed halfway to the top of the mountain and the only way to climb to the castle is with some stairs in zigzag. The weather is cold enough to see the heat of the breathing

They are only a small group of pines scattered around the place, but not enough to form a forest. there aren't any signs of Monsters nearby, but on both sides of the kingdom walls there are some farmlands but they look abandoned for a very long time. The Kingdom walls are surrounded by a frozen river and the only way to enter is by a huge bridge

Maya and Alyra were shivering in the cold then Alyra says " Grr, Hayato, are you sure that we can find an Adventurers Guild here? "

" Yes, that's what the map said " Hayato turned to see the three ladies and it seems that only Dye is not affected by the weather. Hayato smiles and takes out the Akatsuki robes from his inventory " Put this, this will protect you from the weather, even if it's a little thin " He throws a robe to each of them, Alyra and Maya put the robes quickly but Dye wears it calmly

Alyra rubs her arms and says " Grrrr, this is not enough Hayato, let's enter the city to buy some clothes, the ones I bought before are just normal clothes, not against the cold "

They walked to the entrance of the kingdom and inside they are surprised by what they are seeing, there is a lot of people with weapons of all types, swords, bows, hammers, axes, spears, staffs, and shields.

There are some Demi-humans too, Dwarfs, and every species of Beastmen

" Why are so many warriors and mages here? there isn't something outside they can hunt or fight. " Said Maya with surprise as she is seeing from left and right

" Maybe there is another tournament! " Yelled Dye with enthusiasm

Hayato shakes his head and says " I doubt it, let's enter " They walked the bridge to then be stopped by a knight that wears thick fur clothing under his armor, he doesn't wear a helmet, he wears black skin on his head and mouth, he uses fur gloves, the only thing that can be seen are his yellow eyes, he utilizes a long spear as a weapon

" Welcome to the Shakhtar Kingdom, I assume that you are a party then, for entering you will need to pay 4 Copper Coins " The Knight spoke with a humble voice

' Pay for entering the kingdom? it's the first time I see this ' Hayato smiles and gives him the 4 Copper Coins

The knight pointed to the northwest and says" The Adventurers Guild is at the Northwest from here, enjoy your stay " Then he walked back to his previous position

They walked on the street towards the Adventurers Guild, on the way they searched for shops for clothing but they only see Blacksmiths, Hostels, and Alchemist shops everywhere, Hayato turns to see the three ladies gain and he spoke with them " I notice that you two can't stand the cold, I will go to the Adventurers Guild, you can go to buy some good clothes for this place "

" I will go with you " Maya walks in front of Hayato with an annoying face

Hayato smiles and says " No, you will bring trouble just like Alyra and Dye "

Dye tilts her head as she says doubt " What do you mean? "

Hayato turns to see her with a grin and says "Look around you " There are so many men watching them with yearning faces and some others with lust " I think you should use your veils as you did in the Lyrel Kingdom " Hayato took out two veils from his inventory and he gives it to them to Alyra and Dye " You should buy one too, Maya " Hayato gives her a Platinum Coin

" Fine, but you are making the same as us, right now " Maya makes a teasing smile as she looks behind Hayato, he turned around and sees that some young women are seeing him and when they notice that he was seeing them they turned to see the ground with red faces, Maya surrounded Hayato's neck with her arms and she kisses him " ...At least find a good mission " She walks back a little after that and sees Alyra with a small smile

Alyra looks nervous, but she still walked in front of Hayato " Uh... see you later... " she kisses him on the cheek but close to his mouth, Hayato raises his eyebrows in surprise and when she sees him, she turns very red, and walks away shyly

Dye sees them with wonder and she walks in front of Hayato, Hayato sees her with doubt and she gives him a quick kiss on the lips and says with a bright smile " It's not bad "All of them see her with shock until Hayato says

" I-I will go now when you finish come to this place " Hayato turned around and left but he could hear them

" Dye, why did you do that?! " Alyra said with surprise

Dye sees Alyra with doubt " You two did that before, so, I wanted to do that to know how it feels "

" *SIGH* I guess that is not only, Alyra *SIGH* we need to talk, Dye " Maya said with annoyance and they leave in a different direction

Hayato walked in the direction of the Adventurers Guild when he arrived he was very fascinated ' This is almost a castle! I never thought they will build something this big for an Adventurers Guild ' The Adventurers Guild has three floors but only the upper floors had a lot of windows. The Adventurers Guild has 8 marble columns at the front and wide stairs where several adventurers are chatting or sitting on them

The Adventurers guild has 4 entrances with signs above them, the first one has a sign that says training grounds, the second one says reception, the third one says missions and administration, and the last one says the medic area

' I think this Kingdom bases its economy around the Adventurers Guild but why? there aren't any monsters outside, maybe they work all over the continent ' Hayato walked to the second door and when he entered he saw a lot of Adventurers of all kinds, although there are so many of them, they come and go very quickly

Hayato saw 12 receptionists, distributed, 4 in the front, 4 on the right, and 4 on the left, there is a small line waiting with each receptionist

Hayato went to the receptionist that had the smallest line and after a few minutes he arrived in front of the male receptionist

The receptionist smiles and says " Good day, how can I help you? " Hayato gives the receptionist his Adventurer card and says " This is my Adventurer card, the problem is that is from the Human Continent, I was wondering if I can use it here? "

" Hmm..... " The receptionist inspected the card and saw Hayato with doubt, then he says " Wait a minute " The receptionist gets up and went to a room behind him, after a few minutes the receptionist came back with a tall bulky man behind him, he has short gray hair and a long grey beard

" Good day, I'm the Vice-Guild Master, Malack Rens " The tall man shows him a soft smile, then he says " I hear that your guild card looks a little suspicious, my friend here didn't trust that this card belongs to you, he thinks that this card must be stolen, so I'm here to test if it's true "

' Oh, sh*t ' Hayato makes an annoyed face and sighs " *SIGH* Then what do I have to do? "

The Vice-Guild Master shows a confident smile and says " Well, let's go to the training grounds, there you will fight with me, and will we see if you have the power that the card said "

Hayato makes a bored face and says " Fine "

" Alright, come with me " The Vice-Guild Master gets out of the reception and guides Hayato to the training grounds, some of the Adventurers see them with interest and others didn't even care about them

When the Vice-Guild Master and Hayato arrived at the training grounds, Hayato was very surprised ' This place doubles the size of the training ground where I fought that stupid princess, but this is under the roof ' The place was illuminated by some white crystals in the roof and the walls. Some adventurers are sparring with each other in the larger field

The Vice-Guild Master walked into the middle of an empty area and turned to see Hayato with a confident smile " Ok, attack me with all you have, I just gonna defend myself " He stretches his arms

' It seems that he doesn't want to use a weapon ' Hayato makes a face of doubt then he asked the Vice-Guild Master " You are not going to use a weapon, old man? "

The Vice-Guild Master smiles a little and says " Don't worry about that, fight me " He raises his guard

" Ok " Hayato frowns and he activates his Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) surprising the Vice-Guild Master and calling the attention of the nearby adventurers

The Vice-Guild Master smirks ' Lightning reinforcement, maybe this kid is more powerful than his guild card said '

" Get ready! " Yelled Hayato and *ZOOM* he jumped towards the Vice-Guild Master destroying the ground where he was standing. Hayato launches a kick to the Vice-Guild Master's head and *BOOM The Vice-Guild Master raised his left arm and Hayato hit his forearm, the impact resounds in all the training grounds, stopping all the adventurers from their training to turn to see them with confusion and some of them approach them with curiosity

The Vice-Guild Master makes a happy smile making Hayato frown and ' Chidori ' he covers his left hand with a different type of lightning * Swoosh* he attacked the right shoulder of the Vice-Guild Master but *Grab* the Vice-Guild Master grabs Hayato's hand with his right hand and he throws him to his right side

The Vice-Guild Master makes a surprised smile and says " That was impressive, kid, you are an Intermediate Earth Magic Swordsman, if I'm not wrong, besides you have very good control with the lightning reinforcement, to make armor and turn your left hand into a piercing weapon, that means that you dominate the lightning element " Hayato gets up with an incredulous face 'This old man can see my level as Maya does? no, that's not it, maybe is experience '

The Vice-Guild Master crosses his arms and smiles, then he speaks again " Well, with that I confirmed that the guild card was wrong you, you are not an AAA-Rank adventurer, with that power of yours you are an S-Rank adventurer " The Vice-Guild Master made satisfied smile and the adventurers see Hayato with surprise then the Vice-Guild Master put a serious face and says " You are hiding some of your power? or this is your limit? "

Hayato has a careless face but then he smiles and the size of his lightning armor increases and his hair stands up more *ZOOM* he runs again and *PUM* he hits the arms that the Vice-Guild Master that he was using to protect his stomach, Hayato didn't even move the Vice-Guild Master, he was completely intact

" Haha, let's stop here, you prove your worth " The Vice-Guild Master laughs as he was shaking his hands, then he turned around to leave " Let's go, I will give you a new guild card "

Hayato makes a face of doubt and walked beside him and when they leave the training grounds Hayato says " Can I ask you in what category are you? "

The Vice-Guild Master makes a humble smile and says " I'm a level 10 Advance Sky Warrior " The Vice-Guild Master turns to see Hayato and says with a smile " I know that you are stronger than the power you show me before, but it's a good thing that you hide your full power, you don't know who is watching " The vice Guild master sees a big building with suspicion

Hayato makes a serious face but he didn't turn to see the building, he uses his Sensorial Jutsu then he feels a presence that he felt before ' This energy is that guy Roland? maybe it is him, when I killed all those members of the Keller family, he wasn't present ' Hayato and the Vice-Guild Master keep walking until they arrived at the reception again then they entered the private office of the Vice-Guild Master. There is a desk with two chairs in front of it, some shelves with books on both sides and a window behind the desk, then the Vice-Guild Master turned to see Hayato and says " Those guys from outside are your friends? " The Vice-Guild Master asks with a calm smile

" No, they are just a bunch of idiots " Hayato responds with a careless face

" Haha, it seems that they are your enemies, you want some help? " The Vice-Guild Master laughs happily and sits behind a desk " Take sit " he points at the chairs in front of him

Hayato sits and says carelessly " Nah, they aren't strong "

" You maybe are right, but beware, I will go for your guild card wait here " The Vice-Guild Master leaves the room in the meantime Hayato began to talk with Syt

' Syt show me my stats '

' There aren't changes in my strength but how much my power increases with Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour)? Syt, can you show me that? '

[ ' Amateur(Lv.2) Earth Magic Swordsman that's your basic strength when you use your Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) your power increases to this Intermediate(Lv.6) Earth Magic Swordsman and just that when you use basically but if you use its maximum power your strength increases to an Advance(Lv.10) Earth Magic Swordsman' ]

" I see, that's a huge boost, but when I combine it with my Demoniac Transformation, I defeat the Homunculus or that guy named Zeran easily, can you tell me how much my power increases? "

[ ' Sure, let me see... it's like this, Amateur(Lv.1) Sky Magic Swordsman ' ]

' Just one level why? '

[ ' The difference between an Earth Magic Swordsman and a Sky Magic Swordsman is huge, so even if you use some boosts from that point, you can only expect some minor increases in your strength, maybe a better transformation can help you ' ]

' Sh*t, but the good ones are locked ' Hayato was frowning, then he heard the door opening again, the Vice-Guild Master enters the room and sits at his desk gain then he puts on a small black card and a black collar with a golden S in it " These are your new guild card, it will work in all the continent, so you don't have to worry about the same problem as before "

Hayato grabbed the small black card but he sees the collar with doubt, then he sees the Vice-Guild Master and says " For what is this? "

The Vice-Guild Master smiles and says " It's a little gift from my part, with that, everyone who searches problems with you will have to face the Adventurers Guild, even the higher nobles wouldn't dare to search problems with the Adventurers Guild "

" Thanks, I will take this with pleasure " Hayato put on the collar and opens his Akatsuki robes a little, making the collar visible, then he says " I want to ask something before I leave "

The Vice-Guild Master makes a face of doubt " What is it? "

" This Kingdom bases its economy in the Adventurers Guild? " Hayato asked with a serious face

" Yes, a few years ago, we were like every normal Kingdom but we suffered a calamity that ruined the land, making it impossible to harvest food, the king had to sell a great part of his land just to buy food to survive, some people started to abandon the kingdom, the king was in a desperate position but he noticed the Adventurers Guild, for him, was a risky bet but he inverted in the Adventurers Guild attracting better Adventurers from all parts of the continent, the Adventurers Guild grow and the income that the Kingdom made was greater thanks to selling Monster Cores of great quality to other Kingdoms and now this kingdom has few vassal cities that provide food and other things to the Kingdom " The Vice-Guild Master explains with a serious voice

Hayato makes a little grin " It seems that the king is a lucky one "

The Vice-Guild Master smiles and says " Yes, thanks to that, the kingdom still is here, but now he is really old and their sons are fighting for his position, so the tension is heavy right now, I recommend you to not take any sides, let them fight their own battles "

" Ok, I will leave now, I wanted to do a quest before the end of the day " Hayato stands up from the chair but then the Vice-Guild Master speaks again

" If that is so I need your help with one because all the S-Rank Adventurers are in other quests and you are the only S-Rank Adventurer here " The Vice-Guild Master took a paper under his desk and he gives it to Hayato

Hayato makes a serious face and began to read

{ Requirements: Kill the Banshee

Location: Northside of the Black Swamp

Difficult: S

Reward: 2 Platinum Coins

Additional info: The Banshee has the form of a beautiful woman with white hair, and she will use that to her advantage, the Banshee is capable of reading the past and fears of those who fight against her, the Banshee has an ability that let her move small distances in a blink of an eye

Beware with the Banshee close scream }

' This seems difficult ' Hayato frowns after reading the quest

The Vice-Guild Master makes a serious face " If you don't want to do it, I will understand it, after all, you are alone and not everyone is capable to fight a Banshee without becoming crazy about what she says

" I will do it " Hayato responds with a serious face

" Alright then take this too " The Vice-Guild Master gives Hayato a map " If you follow this route you will arrive at the swamp in 1 day, good luck "

" Ok, I will go now " Hayato nods and leaves

Hayato walked until he arrived at the place where he was going to meet Dye, Maya, and Alyra but they didn't arrive even after an hour of waiting

' It seems that they are not planning to attack me, they went for Dye, Maya, and Alyra ' Hayato scans the area with his Sensorial Jutsu but he feels that same energy a few blocks behind him ' They are still waiting, it seems that they are not planning to attack me here, now where are those three? ' Hayato closes his eyes and extended the range of his Sensorial Jutsu ' They are there, but there are a few presences near them '

Hayato walked through the crowd with curiosity and when he arrived at the end of the crowd he saw Maya bleeding from her face with a tired face, Alyra on the ground bleeding and grinding her teeth, and Dye fighting a very tall man as she was panting

Hayato clenches his fist and he activates his Demon Mark and Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) at full power, making all the crowd move aside from the surprise, Hayato makes an angered face ' It seems that someone is tired of living '
