Willow Village Adventurers Administration.
Satellite Building.
The Adventurers started gathering to the place to take the desired quest they wanted to complete.
For an obvious reason, they doing it because of the rewards and an astounding amount of money to be given towards them.
Moreover, most of the people living in the village had chosen this kind of job as a model for their livelihood. Knowing the fact that the dangers of dealing with missions are absolute and certain. Yet, they are still insisting on it.
Thinking that it would be the fastest possible way to legally earning money.
And so,
As the dungeon and raid quest started to operate in their place.
The side quest also putting up on its way to appearing towards the Administration Quests Bulletin board.
Three hours after the release of the Dungeon and Raid quest.
.
Afternoon at the Central Village.
After they finished their meals that Levi and the Church Attendants preparing for the people who gather in their place.
Cassandra Smith, along with Misa Togo, Levi Furiman, and other Church Attendants started taking free time on having their amusement throughout the entire place.
"The Village seemed lively today... Isn't it?" One Church attendant asked vivaciously.
"Yeah, looks like they're celebrating for something." Misa simply replied.
As what they saw in their surroundings;
Merchants and other people around had been keeping their own business, some of it selling foods and weapons for the Adventurers, Villagers, and Travellers as well.
Most people like Cassandra and the others didn't have any plans on doing some sorts of necessities of their own volition. Rather, all of their minds putting as one on killing their time that the Church Pastor giving to them.
In other words;
!Rest day!
They waste their entire remaining time of the day having fun around the Church, doing absolutely nothing but amusing themselves to the fullest.
More likely, they started scattering. Going to the place where they always wanted to go.
Cassandra went to a village Library.
Misa went to a magic items shop.
Levi went to food stalls.
3 Church Attendants went to the Administration Building.
The other 2 Church Attendants left themselves on a huge tree at the park of the Central Village.
.
In Cassandra's perspective;
At the Library.
Whereas only a few streets away towards the place where they started scattering in.
As soon as she arrived at the Library.
She was startled all of a sudden.
As she saw tens of people went themselves gathering around inside the Library, far surprisingly than the usual number of people having to visit the said place.
Out of her curiosity.
She hurriedly held herself on it, thinking that something's going to happen inside.
"Good Afternoon, Ms. Nadia --- mind if I asked what's happening?" Cassandra humbly asked the library attendant about the sudden commotion.
***Ms. Nadia --- A Demi-being Attendant with a human-owl race. A young, average woman and slightly taller than Cassandra. Always wearing nerdy glasses, knowing the fact that the race she belongs to. She's also an intelligent and sharp-minded person, with a clumsy personality and unusual behavior.
"Goo...Good... Moo...rrrning... Cassandra-san... It's... been... A...while..." She went nervous and began clumsier when she met a person that seems close to her.
Cassandra always noticing it in the first place, couldn't help but deal with it as what she resolved to her.
She asked what's happening to the library once again.
This time, she went blunt all of a sudden. staring viciously towards her for various reasons.
"Some strange-looking outsiders are having themselves reading the same book for the 3rd time in 3 hours, I guess those guys are a block-headed person." She went blunt towards them.
"Eh? and what about it? ... Is it wrong to study things that seem difficult to understand?" Cassandra was simply confused as to Nadia's thoughts to them.
"Just look at the book that they read..."
Cassandra nodded.
It was the Book of magic spells and Sorceries that they read all around.
Cassandra seemed shocked and surprised at what she heard coming from Nadia's behavior, left stunned for a moment, and couldn't respond immediately as the result.
She knew Nadia's attitude the most, knowing the fact that the two were already friends since childhood. She knows that the people Nadia pointed out maybe an unwanted and vile personality that made her felt irritated and anguish.
'Yeah, they're block-headed. But then, I didn't see any problem after all.' She figured out herself, later on, completely understands the struggle they had a reading on it.
"So then, what I saw to them was nothing but dedication for it to pursue what they wanted to be... What's your point to made angry to them?" She asked with perplexed feeling towards him.
Surprisingly, Nadia's Awakening presence suddenly went emitting out of the uneasy and vulgar feelings she made.
Asking back to Cassandra to activate her Eye of the Awakening as well, trying to understand the situations thoroughly and submissively.
Causing Cassandra to alarmed and frightened as the result.
As what she felt and seen the time she went activate her Eye of the Awakening.
!!??
A silver-like colored Awakening aura, slowly reacting its presence with density.
Emitting wickedly and villainously throughout the place, without knowing anything to the people who didn't possess the power of the Awakening Races.
Only 5 unknown people are the ones she felt as time goes by on releasing her Awakening senses.
The crowd inside the library also seems dull, lifeless on the inside. As she couldn't keep herself on sensing it as well. Also, the reason why the building was full of people, was due to that some unspecified reasons. Causing the people and other Villagers to looked at it voluntarily throughout the said building, out of their curiosity and intrigued towards it.
Controlled like a puppet, as to how she terms on it every time she kept staring and sensing their presence thoroughly.
Causing her to be rooted to the bones, couldn't help but to felt disgusted even though the Eye of the Awakening had already deactivated.
Only one thing that puts the minds of Cassandra Smith into despair.
"Wait... Those are ----" Her eyes widened all of a sudden, couldn't believe what she had seen eventually.
Alarmed and terrified, as the first one, she made putting on her mind. Thinking as a threat for what they had done made her consciousness reacting in its volition and accordance.
!Grab!
Nadia grabbed Cassandra's wrist intentionally, asking her to stop her from doing so recklessly that might put her life in danger in due time.
Knowing that it would be the best way not to interfere with them, She didn't hesitate on stopping her from doing unwanted actions as what she resolved for a certain commotion will not be occurring.
And thus, as the result;
She left nothing to do but to be observant of the actions at first, that the unknown people made inside the library. Constantly wary anytime the trouble will be unlikely existing.
.
In Misa's perspective.
At the Willow Village stock weaponry shop.
Tens of various armors, weapons, magic items, and many more had come displaying together inside the shop.
From the cheapest to the most expensive.
Most of the items come from its rarity had come selling through this, legally.
Sword clanging
Bow and arrows compiling.
Magic crystal orb had to shine elegantly.
Other shining armors had been stored carefully and glamorous.
Knowing that the amount of price for it was utterly astounding.
But then, for the minds and thoughts of Misa Togo, whereas she only came to a place for a deep purpose and conviction.
"Excuse me..." She wants to get attended.
The shop's attendant started to come afterward.
Attending diligently and with pride, Misa started to ask about her needs very humbly and thoughtfully.
Misa simply asked the attendant about the things that she desired to acquire.
!Clang!
It was a piece of a small knife, smaller to be called a 'Dagger'.
Also a bit heavier than a regular knife, nor an ordinary dagger. As she thinks about its weight, She tried to compare it with a regular-sized sword. Surprisingly, it went equal.
Owned by Levi Furiman, after a request that she forcedly begging to borrow it for a while.
~~ Earlier.
After they finished eating at the Church.
Misa suddenly went mumbling on her mind, on how strong did Levi Furiman is.
By asking a sparring match, which is held outside the Church.
She courageously looking for a fight against Levi, viciously glaring at him without showing any sort of alarming feelings nor tremors on her body.
The Church people, Medical Adventurers, as well as the Church Pastor and Helina Booluck, were startled and shocked at what they heard towards Misa.
Complete an arrogant and hasty move, as Pastor Ozril and Helina think about it.
They simply declined, wanting to stop any unnecessary commotion between each other before any of them started to get hurt nor being injured.
But then, all of a sudden;
Levi graciously accepting it, with humility and pleasure.
As if he also wanted to test out himself on fighting against the Adventurers.
Just like the last time the Unknown being telling him long before.
As the result, the match was finally set.
The two Adventurers completely didn't know the definition of pride and holding back on others, couldn't wait any longer, and started preparing themselves nonchalantly and defiant.
"Are you sure about this?... Misa-san?" Levi felt uneasy for a moment, thinking it would be hard for him to deal with her.
Not knowing the fact that Levi Furiman couldn't make himself hurting a woman, whether it's an ally nor an enemy.
As he resolved, he couldn't help but evading all the charging attacks that Misa Togo prepared.
Misa on the other hand already made up her mind on testing out the real strength and power that Levi possessed. Were the ones started charging in, recklessly and without being anticipating.
Levi went out startled, quickly stepping back to create space between her.
Without activating his Eye of the Supreme Awakening, he can tell that the person nor a being was serious and determined by knowing the expression of their faces.
That according to the Unknown being itself, it would be understated to say how desperate they are to live, nor to win in a crucial situation.
That they knew they will never win to fight against it.
As he resolved, he simply releasing the Dagger on his back. Started concealing its existence towards Misa and the people watching the fight as well.
Trying not to deal serious damage against her, by making light slashes towards her body.
Sadly, It couldn't help. As her killing intent already pushing up to its peak. That made Levi felt intimidated and started aiming at the weapon she used to fight instead.
!Bang!
In a quick collision between Misa's claw and Levi's dagger.
Misa's primary weapon had been shattered into pieces, completely unrecognized and utterly meaningless to be recovered.
While Levi's dagger seemed fine and like nothing happened.
It was a total loss for Misa's side. But for the likes of Levi, he means nothing on it at all.
Later, out of the blue;
She tried to borrow the dagger that he used to fight against her, moments after the bout was finished.
At first, Levi declined.
She begged a lot, thinking he could change his mind the more he gets annoyed.
Not until he decided to borrow it, in exchange for a few pieces of silver to buy some food for himself.
~
Present moment;
With a slight discomfort, she felt the knife that she grabbed.
Misa knows on her mind that the weapon Levi did acquire was far genuine and one of a kind.
As the result, she left without having any second thoughts about doubting herself.
She graciously asked the rarity of the said weapon, humbly grading to the people knowledgeable for dealing authentic materials and artifacts with honesty.
One personnel with a wielder of an ordinary Awakening and a possessor of Knightsmen race delightfully accepted the offer she'd made.
"It would take some time to analyze the weapon that you bought. Miss." He asked patiently for a certain inconvenience.
Misa nodded, willing to wait for what she resolves.
Out of boredom, the eyes of Misa couldn't hold themselves from looking only in one place. Rather than putting it elsewhere to get rid of her boredom feeling, as well as to gain other information regarding the weapons and other items that the Inventory personnel graciously introduced to her.
"I see, so that's how it is..." She left amused on her own volition.
A few minutes later.
The result of the knife had finally arrived.
It was a complete heart-throbbing feeling that she had eventually.
Trying to calm down, getting her senses on track, focusing only on one thing that the dealer wanted to say to her.
And began attended on her own accord.
"This weapon you bought, was utterly ordinary and nothing special about it." The voices deliver by the dealer seemed distraught and discouraged by the weapon that Misa brings.
Misa on the other hand, went out stunned and surprised all of a sudden. Couldn't believe what she had heard from the dealer at the moment.
That making her mind perplexed and downhearted as the result, trying to refrain from what he had said to her once again.
