424 Reunion With Main Characters
Orion was not happy at all and his companion could feel it, although he kept a smile on his face.
His companions were nervous as they knew Orion being angry is not a very good sign. Every one of them, except one guy kept their mouth in order to avoid flaring his anger.
"Boss, should I force her to come with us?"
One of the guys said. He was a talented person, who was invited to Elven Nation, however, he was weaker than Orion and considered Orion his boss.
In order to make Orion happy, he thought of getting Ice Enchantress to join their group. Although he was not stronger than Mia, he did have a very good background comparable to Mia.
Orion's companion, whose name was Alex, was a bit of a bully. He didn't think that Mia would refuse if he revealed his background.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Another companion said. "She's not interested in joining our group, and it would be a problem if we anger her."
"Huh? So what? Are we afraid of her? She might be strong but we are not weak either. Moreover, would she really offend me considering I am also an heir to Diamond Graded Guild?"
Orion said. In the group, he only respects Orion and doesn't care about others and even looks down upon them.
The other guy was angry because Alex wasn't respecting him at all. He was only advising but Alex just had to say like he was wrong and make him seem like a coward.
But he calmed down as he didn't want to argue with Alex.
"You should know who Ice Enchantress is. She is a lot stronger than you think and she was also with two other people. We might be able to fight with her together but what if her companion is also as strong as her?"
"So you were afraid of two unknown people? They wouldn't dare to make a move after knowing who I am!"
Alex proudly declared.
"Like Dante said, we can't force her. And don't underestimate the other two people."
"The other one is probably the Saintess Amelia. Just like Ice Enchantress, I couldn't see her rank and the boy she was with was peak Rank-A."
Orion revealed. At first he didn't know who Amelia was but he did seem to see her somewhere and finally remembered.
Moreover, he couldn't see through her rank. This only happens if she is the same or higher rank than him or if she has some skill that lets her hide her rank.
And he was inclined to believe it was former as Saintess Amelia was said to be in Rank-A. Orion assumed that she might have broken through to Rank-S.
Anyway, if they fought or angered that group, he knew that they would suffer. He would like to beat Alex for suggesting something so stupid but considering his background, Orion refrain from doing so.
Alex was surprised by that information. He also remembered Saintess appearance and was sure that the girl that was Ice Enchantress was Saintess.
Alex was a bit scared as if he did what he suggested, he would get killed by his father. Although his guild was strong, it was nothing in front of the power of the Church and if his father knew that he offended the Saintess, he might have gotten himself killed.
"So the other one was Saintess Amelia. She must be strong then but is that boy really at the peak of Rank-A? He looked like someone who has just completed his school, how could he be that strong."
The one who advised Alex said.
"He might just be someone who looks young."
Alex said, not believing that someone so young would be so powerful. Others also agreed with Alex.
"Anyway, don't try to start a fight with them!"
Orion said. Although he always appeared powerful to others, there was one person that he couldn't defeat and that was Mia Frostine.
Although he was also in Rank-S - but that was only recently and Mia was one minor rank higher than him. He didn't think that he could win against her, though he was sure that he could against Zero and Saintess Amelia.
Meanwhile, Zero, Amelia and Mia were trying to get away from the crowd that had formed. Luckily, they were significantly faster than them, so they were able to get away quickly.
Then they continued to go from place to place and also ate many things along the way. Mia also introduced some of the geniuses that they saw on the way.
"She is Cassandra and she should be in Rank-A. Her spear technique is quite good. Although you might be stronger than her, don't underestimate her as her attack power could even rival that of Rank-S."
There were many geniuses who were a lot stronger than your average person but none seem as strong as Mia. Even those rare geniuses who were older than Zero by 10 years were in the same rank as him.
From the geniuses that he saw, only Orion was a bit strong as he was in Rank-S - like Amelia. Others were not a match for him, much less Mia who is in Rank-S.
But Zero didn't underestimate them as they were geniuses with great backgrounds. Every geniuses has one or two trump cards which could even defeat those who are above their rank.
Who knows that in actual fights, if the other person really wants to kill you at any cost, they might activate forbidden techniques like Zion. So, it was best that one doesn't make enemies with them, though if the other party provoked him, he was not going to stay quiet either.
Anyway as Zero was going around the place, he was also looking to check whether he could see Misha or any of the main characters around.
He was sure that they would be here considering many talented people are gathering here.
But the main character doesn't seem to be in a good situation as expected.
Zero, Mia and Amelia were strolling across a townbridge that overlooked a picturesque waterfall statue in the center of the town.
As they reached the middle of the bridge, their attention was caught by a commotion down below. They saw a group of familiar faces engaged in a heated argument with another group.
One group was obviously the main characters. Hiro, Zion, Lisa, Sylvia, and also Misha were included in that group.
Zero and Mia obviously recognize them and because of their argument, they attract all kinds of attention.
Moreover, two of them could also recognize the person who was arguing with Hiro. It was one and only, Professor Wiliiam.
Zero was surprised that Professor William was still alive after fighting with the main characters all the time. Typically he should be dead by now. Although Zero knows that Professor Willian doesn't die, he thought that he might have been dead.
Anyway, Mia didn't have a good expression when she saw Professor William.
She didn't know why he was even here. Those who are gathered here were all talented and Professor William was far from being qualified.
Although she could see that Professor William had advanced to Rank-A - but he was already around 30 years old.
Moreover, advancing in rank was not only needed to be considered a genius, one Art should also be of high mastery which Professor William doesn't have.
He was a person who only grew stronger because of Elixir and even some talented person in Rank-B could defeat him.
Professor William was even worse than the average person if one considers their fighting power. However, Mia didn't spend time pondering about that as she focused her attention on the escalation.
"What's going on down there?"
Amelia asked, observing the escalating argument.
She saw that two groups were arguing, although she didn't see who they were. She would have recognized Hiro if she did see his face.
Hiro was perhaps one of the most popular people and almost everyone has heard at least one rumor about him.
"It seems like Professor William has crossed paths with my students. He always hated Hiro and it seems his hatred has not died down even after Hiro has graduated." Mia replied, her voice tinged with irritation.
Zero's eyes narrowed as he analyzed the situation. He thought that Professor William might get humiliated if he fought with Hiro.
It was what always happens with villains who mess with MC. He noticed that Professor William had broken through to Rank-A but it was also true for Hiro who was also in Rank-A.
And considering Hiro, Zero didn't think he would lose against people of same rank.
"Let's go down and see what's happening. We can't let things escalate any further."
Amelia and Zero followed quietly behind Mia.
