Levi Furiman has a hard time hiding his presence while sneaking outside the Church.
Supposedly wanting to take a fresh breathe of air outside without bothering others in the middle of the night.
With his Right Eye of the Supreme Awakening, he barely made his Awakening presence hidden away from people and other Adventurers for a short time.
Knowing the fact that it was only a few times he did since the recent dungeon break against Gwaco the dungeon Orc boss started.
But then, one thing that made his mind wondering for a second.
'According to a book that Cassandra-san and Pastor Ozril-ojisan gave on me. This skill was supposedly for an Assassin Class, yet I was able to use it on a first try?' Levi left muttering his mind and confused.
He felt grateful and glad for the achievement he's done.
'Amazing, Supreme Awakening Eye... Amazing....' He can't even hide the ecstatic expression on his face after all.
As he reached to the door, near the place where Pastor Ozril along with the 4 Administration Personnel held in.
He instantly felt a wild, knee-trembling Awakening aura that telling his senses of an upcoming danger that lies towards it.
But what made him surprised was that.
The System notification didn't react while his senses are started reacting.
'It didn't pop up? how?' He flustered.
But then, as he gets near through the place they held.
He saw the incoming attack that viciously approaching against the Church Pastor.
That made his mind and senses into one, didn't waste a time thinking on how to get rid of their presence rather than charging directly towards them, empty-minded and unaware.
!Bang!
/A loud bone-cracking noise excruciatingly impaled on a person's body parts./
/Blood spurting out like a broken faucet./
/Mild, chilling humidity began colder./
In an instant after Levi deflected the weapon that the Administration Personnel threw against the Church Pastor.
A system notification finally popped out, which made Levi exasperated.
.
{Status Warning... Opened}
~ Possessor's damaged body parts have been detected.
Location: Left Palm.
Damage type: Impale.
Time for self-recovery: 4 days, 20 seconds.
Note: Recovery potions and other healing spells are highly recommended to speed up the operation.
.
'Dammit... I got injured even the raid hasn't been started yet? what a shame...' Levi felt regret for what he has done on protecting the Church Pastor.
However;
The Church Pastor didn't seem glad nor relieved for his efforts after all.
He left nothing but to tease him as the result.
"Don't screw with me, old man! I saved your ass and then this is what you'd exchange on me? ... You ungrateful swine!" Levi began irritated, having his thoughts whining against him.
On the other hand.
The 4 Administration Personnel couldn't hold their faces shocked and terrified as the one they're looking for had finally appeared.
Not just it.
The young man himself had started demonstrating the power they theoretically possessed, which made their eyes widened and bodies trembling.
Especially for the one doing the attack recklessly.
As he left disregarded what the approaching enemies suddenly appearing.
"When did he just showed up? I can't see him from any sides and corners of our surroundings?" He was frustrated with the outcome.
Though, knowing the fact that the Demi-being Possessor had a distinctive attribute of a keen sense able to reach a maximum level. Even a level of Misa Togo couldn't be attained for her league.
Still couldn't be figured out what is going on since the time Levi Furiman started appearing.
On what Robert Steel's perspective;
In the last second before the impact arrived.
He finally figured out when he noticed a glimpse of a left hand, courageously deflecting the attack made by Sam Smeagel and its Awakening Aura started emerging.
Nonetheless, since he is also a known Adventurer for possessing the power of the Knightsmen Race, whose being distinguished for sensing the Aura of Awakening of every single person and Adventurers with his radius.
He made himself admitted that he couldn't felt the presence that Levi Furiman emitted until the final seconds of a sudden collision.
"As Expected, to a human possessing the power of the Supreme Eye of the Awakening." He left nothing but to commend the actions made by Levi Furiman.
Pista and Misho were on their side; couldn't hold themselves but to felt terrified at the moment.
Even though Pista didn't seem his first time on sensing the Awakening Aura that Levi possessed. He still sees his body trembling for a reason, thinking he might be eaten alive by his Aura and forces for the second time of their meetings.
Eventually, after the tensions held once again.
Levi's Eye of the Supreme Awakening had gone deactivating, thinking that hiding his presence will be futile this time.
The 4 Administration Personnel did the same thing, as the commotion between them had put into its end.
"By the way, Old man... Who are they?" Levi calmly asked.
Unfortunately, the Church Pastor didn't respond to what he asked at first.
Instead, he directed his attention towards him.
But voluntarily treating his wounds on his left palm, that made his whole left wrist trembling for pain and numbness he felt afterward.
Thinking it would be a great burden for him on taking the quest and dungeons for the upcoming future.
"Thank You, Old man..." Levi was genuinely gratified to the Church Pastor.
However;
"That would be 5 golds for the bandage and another 3 golds for the service... A total of 10 golds overall... hohohoho." He taking a quick hindrance of kidding around in front of him.
The other attitude side of the Church Pastor will pain for the likes of Levi Furiman. That caused a short commotion between each other as the result.
"Are you kidding me? all works you'd done is like money rolling over your hand? Don't screw with me, old man!" As expected, Levi triggered.
"Do you even know who to do math? 5 + 3 = 10? Are you really out of your mind? How old are you?" Levi triggered even more.
The 4 Administration Personnel left nothing but to be silent in the meantime, didn't want to join their ample commotion and respecting their time bonding each other like its own blood.
They wait patiently, until their attention finally putting into their turns.
.
Near past midnight inside the Church Hall.
The cold breeze of the air outside is staggering.
The moon shines throughout the night.
Winds and calm, silent places are whistling.
As the 6 of them finally face up against each other.
Levi Furiman was the only one who felt uneasiness right from his flesh.
"By the way, old man... Who are they?" Levi seemed agitated through the past happenings since he came in.
Eventually, the Church Pastor finally answered.
"As I said, those guys... are the ones trying their very best to find you." Pastor Ozril solemnly responses to what Levi wanted to ask from him.
The 4 Personnel seriously observed what the Church Pastor introduced to him. With a vicious glare and knee-trembling appearance on their faces.
Sadly, Levi still didn't know what exactly he wanted. Causing Pastor Ozril to laugh nonchalantly and began apologetically towards them.
All he wants is their names and identity, not their purpose and convictions they made.
As the result;
The 4 Administration Personnel had nothing to do but to introduce it for themselves.
And so;
The first one who introduced me was the man he met in a dungeon break a few days ago.
"My name is Pista Rambutan, I know we'd already met each other---.." He stopped for some reason, suddenly interrupted by Levi.
"No, I don't know you... If we met each other, then I simply remember you." Levi rudely replied with a face smuggling towards him.
!Bang!
/Levi felt nauseous and began half-conscious./
All of a sudden, Pastor Ozril smashed Levi's nape with his fist for that reason. Began apologizing for what he's done as he resolves.
After a while, Levi had regained his senses, trying not to be rude in front of the people.
The next one who introduced was the first person who investigated the dungeon break incident.
"My name is Misho Santa, I'm a Double Awakening wielder and a possessor of the Knightsmen race. I'm also the one having a joint investigation with the Church Elder of the Willow Village. Nice to meet you, Levi Furiman." Misho graciously greeted his introduction to Levi.
However;
On a spur of a moment.
Levi's mood suddenly went changing drastically after Misho introduced himself to him.
In an unexpected happen.
A set of astonishing and turbulence they felt after Levi's mood and attitude began insanity.
"You people... Already know me?" Levi became uncontrollable, unconsciously activating his Eye of the Supreme Awakening and villainously staring at the 4 Administration Personnel's very existence.
It all started when he didn't even know that someone nor somebody already knew about his identity until it happened just recently.
When the 4 people desperately having their time and attention on knowing his identity personally. Not knowing the certain, inevitable consequences they encountered when things might go wrong against it.
Suddenly;
As he kept screeching himself, trying to blame up whoever spread his name and his identity.
A soft, sorrowful voice coming from his side wanting deep thoughts and understanding of what he has done against him.
"So you are the one spreading my name, Old man?" Levi felt disgrace and disappointment towards the Church Pastor, as he figured out the one spreading his name through the few known people.
He didn't have his words on responding due to humiliation and regrets for what he utterly made on him.
Levi felt rejection and down for himself, instead of vengeance and hateful things towards the Church Pastor. But then, he knows what is done has already been done. The fact that someone nor somebody already knew about his identity, he couldn't help but be aware and tactful for the next time he encountered.
He instantly accepted the Church Pastor's apology to him.
He then asked for many people he told afterward.
Pastor Ozril simply replied calmly.
That made Levi felt relieved at the moment.
However;
Back on the side of the 4 Personnel.
The feelings they made in a short time were astounding and frightening.
As the 4 of them were completely stunned and motionless after Levi unconsciously activated his Eye of the Supreme Awakening.
"Are you guys okay?" Pastor Ozril simply asked.
Unfortunately, none of them managed to reply.
Even their mouth and fingers didn't even move a cinch due to fear and tremors inside and outside their bodies.
Knowing that Pastor Ozril easily noticed it.
He then asked Levi to deactivate his Eye of the Supreme Awakening with serene and gentle beseeching.
Luckily, Levi seemed tame.
He cautiously released his Eye as the result.
.
/Sips tea/
!Thug!
As the moon still shines through the dark.
The Church Pastor is now the one asking back to Levi Furiman.
With a sole purpose, solemnly act.
He asked about his whereabouts, that putting his senses into sharpness without noticing.
Levi already knew about it from the start. Replied on him with his heart's content. He began seriously as if he's waiting for a certain moment a long time ago.
"I want to finish up all my mess before the sunrise up... Any complaints with that?" Levi desperately nodded.
Everyone, including Pastor Ozril, seemed shocked. Didn't believe what he said to them.
With his eyes blazing with determination, actions standing with pride and conviction, and his appearances full of mysteries and promises.
They knew the young man had become a turning point of desperation, wanting to put an end to the problem that started with him.
As soon as they heard his purpose on having his appearance towards them.
The 4 Administration Personnel, on the other hand, didn't waste their time having a brief introduction for themselves anymore.
Rather, they put themselves straight up to the point of having their sole purpose of coming through the place where he came in.
They didn't seem flustered nor stopping his actions towards the mission that he wanted to end.
"You know Levi Furiman, the purpose of having ourselves coming through far to reach this place?" Robert frankly spoke.
"You know the reason why we are fond of finding you, even the bridges of death just to reached your presence among us?" Sam frankly added.
As soon as they reached out their thoughts one by one. Pastor Ozril couldn't help himself but to amazed, at the guts and courage, they made in speaking out to Levi Furiman.
"Is because we need your help on closing the dungeon breaks that spreading throughout the village," Misho added his thoughts.
"How come that the one possessing the power of the Supreme Awakening also taking his action on closing the dungeon breaks secretly. We flamboyantly adamant with that." Pista commended his part.
Levi surprised and startled them as they revealed their reasons and purpose frankly and whole-hearted.
Without having a second thought on telling everything to him.
He seemed glad and grateful towards them as the result.
And so;
The Church Pastor clearly understands the situation that everyone went in.
"If you guys are having here for that kind of an understatement, also Levi wanted to go to where the dungeon break started."
"We are actually in the same boat from the start..." Levi solemnly concluded his thoughts that made connected the minds and convictions of the 4 Administration Personnel.
