Chapter 77: 076 “It’s all lacking in originality. “Hmm?” When Shane came down from the third floor of the guild with a book and returned to the guild’s first floor lobby, an odd feeling made him stop in his tracks. Shane then lifted his eyelids and glanced around. With that glance, Shane noticed the many Adventurers casting covert or blatant gazes in his direction. “Is it him?” “Definitely.” ... “Doesn’t look anything special, though.” “Not wearing any decent equipment, just a weapon hidden in the bundle on his shoulder...” “He looks like a rookie, doesn’t he?” “Yeah.” “I have no idea what’s going on.” “I thought this newcomer would be just like the others before him, kicked out after staying a month in Miss Vivian’s squad or making some foolhardy mistake that Miss Tielle takes care of.” “Exactly.” Similar whispered conversations reached Shane’s ears, barely audible. Perhaps, they intended for him to hear? At least, Shane could see that many of those having this conversation were staring straight at him, their eyes full of annoyance and ridicule. Shane’s brow quirked in an instant. He could guess from the content and tone of the conversation what must have happened. “Because of Vivian and her team?” Apparently, the scene of Shane being pulled upstairs by Vivian in the guild’s first-floor lobby had rankled these Adventurers. This development... “Next, it won’t become cliché, will it?” Shane narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with speechlessness. Such a classic plotline—it just couldn’t stir Shane’s interest at all. “Will someone jump out to be shown up by my ‘coolness’?” Shane’s face wore a look of declining with thanks. Compared to this utterly boring plot, so typical anyone could think up dozens of chapters’ worth of it with their knees, Shane was far more interested in hurrying back to study magic. Having finally gotten the chance to study magic, Shane had no intention to waste time on something that, apart from showing off, was utterly pointless. Like this, Shane expressed his impatience in the most direct manner, without mincing words. As he spoke, Shane didn’t give the other a chance to react and, holding his book, walked past the tall adventurer. “Really, no originality whatsoever.” Shane muttered as he left those words behind. His words successfully enraged the tall adventurer. “You...!?” Driven by anger, the tall adventurer drew his bloodstained weapon from behind his back, turned around, and intended to strike Shane. However, the moment the tall adventurer turned around, a foot entered his field of vision. “Thump!” With a dull thud, the bear-like tall adventurer was kicked fiercely and sent flying across the guild hall’s floor, knocking over countless tables and chairs and, amid the cries of surprise from the surrounding adventurers, was submerged beneath them. “What... what!?” “That... that rookie actually made a move!?” “He... he kicked him flying with a single blow!?” The surrounding adventurers, who were watching the scene like it was entertainment, were all shocked and began to clamor. At the entrance of the guild, Shane, holding his book, withdrew his foot. Amid the astonished gazes of many adventurers, he uttered in utter disbelief. “Resorting to violence without a second thought when you feel insulted?” “As I thought, not a hint of originality.” Muttering this, Shane, without a shred of reluctance, turned and left in front of everyone in the adventurer’s guild. “This...” The adventurers who witnessed everything were too slow to react. Watching Shane walk away without any regrets, and then at the tall adventurer submerged under countless tables and chairs with a shoe print on his face, seemingly knocked out cold, they lost their words for a moment. It was only when the staff of the adventurer’s guild frantically rushed over that these adventurers started to look at each other, unsure of how to react. But it must be said, Shane’s behavior had made a strong impression on them. That was, this newcomer was a tough one. When Riley and Vivian learned about this incident, they both looked at each other and ended up with a mix of laughter and tears. “That guy...” Vivian was somewhat exasperated. “He really is an interesting person.” Riley laughed. Afterward, this not-so-small incident became a topic of conversation among the many adventurers. As for what kind of impact it would bring, only God knows.
