Cain looked at three women who joined him and sat in his table the three of them were beautiful in their own right . One appeared to be an elf while another was a woman who had curled horns on her head and the last one looked like a human but the aura she gave out wasn't of one . From their attire Cain could guess they were people from the high class , all the material of their clothes was of top quality and he could slightly sense their strength was each of their strength was equal to or greater than his .

He could understand why the waiter was being forceful as he wouldn't want to offend them , Cain took a quick glance at them and continued to eat .

They ordered food from the waiter and as they waited , the Horned woman who had gold eyes with horizontal pupils , Greyish blond hair and a Feminine yet very muscular body with white skin tone who looked like a person who was experienced and old but at the same time looked young , looked at Cain and spoke

"Young Man , Thank you for letting us dine in your table we're tourists who are visiting your kingdom , My name is Rebecca , the elf's name is elaine and she is aura "

"No problem , it is a fortune for a commoner like me to dine with three beautiful such as you all" Cain responded with no sarcastic attitude at all and the elf who had black hair and black eyes with a brown skin tone with a slender thin body and wore attire which was light and looked like that of a combination of a mage and a fighter interjected

"You should be , and are you eating all this by yourself and seeing your attire do you have enough to pay" hearing this Rebecca in a angry tone warned elaine

"Elaine , weren't here to show off and stop acting like a stuck up . Sorry Cain , she was being rude"

"It's fine , commoners like me deal with it in daily life no need to worry . Oh and for this i'm using my savings to pay for it"

"Looking at your clothes you look like a adventurer what do you do ?"

"I'm just a small time adventurer , who loots dungeons and acts as a information broker with my friend"

"Is that so , then if possible we may require your services tomorrow we'll get in touch with you at the guild"

"Of course mam , all can be done at a reasonable price "

"By the way what is your rank Cain you look strong for your age ?"

"Oh , Ma'am please don't be sarcastic i'm just a low rank" Elaine smirked at Cain and Rebecca and spoke

"I Mean look at this guy how do you think he is strong "

"Elaine , Should i shut your mouth for you or will you shut it"

Cain just looked at them and just exchanged general information such as where do people gather often and tourist places in the city ,after few Cain finished his food and spoke

"I'm done , thank you for conversing with me I'll leave"

"Yeah , We should be grateful that we could eat with you" When Rebecca told this the other two women were shocked and looked at her , Cain not noticing this left the hotel .

Cain couldn't fully gauge their strength but concluded that these people came to get scouted by the envoy's of Aquis .

20 minutes after Cain left as the three women were eating , Rebecca spoke up

"Elaine you cunt!! what were you thinking speaking like that , do you want to die"

"What!! Why should i care about low level adventurers and what's with you why did you speak with him like that ? you never act like that"

"You Cunt! he was using some artifact to hide his strength i couldn't gauge it properly but he is atleast A rank and at such a young age"

"Wait .What ? If you're serious we need to recruit him atleast before others find him but is there any chance that he is the one we are seeking"

"I can't tell , though they are rare , there are prodigies who grow to that strength through a difficult early life , even Thorkell who is discussing with the Duke was like that . What do you think Aura can you tell anything since you're Aquis's direct line you maybe able tell"

Aura or Aurora Aquis the Daughter of the fluid primordial was the other person with those women she had snow white skin , dazzling blue hair and alluring blue eyes , she was slender and had beauty such that any man could be charmed by her . She started to smile wide in a distorted way and spoke

"I don't know , but he isn't strong enough to take us all on . But how can you not notice that though he was acting he didn't have a hint of fear in him from the moment we came till we left there was no change in his blood circulation of heart rate and he wasn't afraid of my innate primordial aura at all"

Rebecca and Elaine facepalmed as in frustration Rebecca spoke

"SHIT! I was accompanying you for so long I forgot , the primordial's innate pressure puts anyone in a state of fear regardless of rank" Hearing this Elaine spoke

"Don't worry regardless he'll be there at the Guild tomorrow and even Thorkell will come we can check him then , If suspicious we can kill him"

"Nope" Aurora spoke as she started to giggle and tried to cover her face with her hands as her face started to become red , Elaine looking at her in shock asked

"What? Why are you acting like that here ?"

"Shut Up Elaine , I've decided I'll make him my pet . The only one who isn't submissive to the Primordial Aura , and his face is just my type if i get to know his real character and its to my liking I won't mind having him " Rebecca was frustrated by these developments but spoke

"Aurora I know your mother adores you but isn't this too much , and will she accept some no name as her son-in-law and what if he is the person who we are searching for ?"

"That's why I'll see , if he reciprocates I wouldn't mind rebelling and you know as well my mother wouldn't care unless he is a creep or has a crap personality . But if he doesn't i can just chain him up as my dog" Saying this Aurora's face started to turn more red as she hid herself in her arms .Elaine looking at Aurora spoke

"I can't get used to this shit , First finding out Aquis's favorites daughter loves torturing her prisoners brutally and by her own hands to this personality and how did you get known to have a silent personality well known" Rebecca looking at Elaine spoke

"Well , the truth is regulated , except few people in the world not many know . And its mostly because they don't expect to meet her they never try to investigate so not much is known about Aurora as us . Lets finish eating and meet up with Thorkell"

Next Day Cain dressed him self as a scrapper , little torn and dirty clothes but not too much to stand out and headed to the guild at the morning as the inspection would be today.

Before leaving he completely compressed his fire abilities such that only in a fatal situation those would activate on their own and with his concealment skill and using the artifact given to him he gave out an aura of a C rank . Though this would strain his body , he deemed it necessary .

As Cain went into the Guild , a guild official directed Cain to go to the Guildmaster's office . As he went there he also saw Liam sitting there in a suit , both Liam and Olivia looking at Cain spoke in unison

"WTF are you wearing ?"

"What are saying ? I'm a poor low rank adventurer what do you expect " Olivia facepalmed and spoke

"I will introduce you and Liam to them separately wear something presentable . Liam give him something presentable to wear "

"Wait why separately ? "

"Don't worry its necessary so that you don't get dragged into their scouting"

Liam handed Cain , Cain then went and changed his clothes and returned . Then after half an hour of waiting they got news that the people arrived Cain and Liam both went and stood behind Olivia as she was sitting on her desk .

As the door opened 5 people arrived and sat on the couches infront of the Guildmaster's table, A tall strong muscular white tiger beastman who wore attire of a fighter as he was sitting started to speak

"Well I'll introduce myself , I'm Thorkell Tigor a 5 th stage Peak level Martial Mage here the elf is a expert level lightning mage Elaine Volt , the Horned Dryke here is an Expert level Monk Rebecca Reyes and the one next to her is Aurora Aquis "

Another Wolf beastman who was accompanying them who wore military attire spoke as he stood behind them

"I'm Thomas Rudd an official of the Kingdom who is helping the envoys at their stay"

Hearing them Olivia spoke

"As you all might know i'm the guildmaster here Olivia Livinion and behind me to the left is my disciple Liam Peterson and left is a exceptional upcoming adventurer Cain . I'm nominating them for running in the International Adventurer Association's tournament"

Just as Cain saw them , he didn't dare lift is head and just stared at the ground he could feel the stares at him . Although he could argue that he didn't tell them any lie but they wouldn't care as what he did was hiding the truth.

As Cain was thinking The talks between Thorkell and Olivia started .
