“Claude attacked someone else but was sent flying. Am I seeing things?” A member of an adventurer team standing in line rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Another adventurer said, “I saw it too. Claude did not become the Holy Sword's vice-captain because of his strength but his extraordinary skills. However, he is still a fire-elemental peak silver-tier warrior. How could that youth send him flying without moving an inch? How strong is he?”

One by one, the adventurers began to discuss among themselves. Their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Watson.

The Blood Rose adventurer team members were not particularly surprised because they had seen Watson in action. They quickly reacted, especially Annie. She held Watson's hand worriedly as she tried to walk out.”Young Master Watson, you've caused a huge problem! The Holy Sword is influential all over the city, and you've just beat up their vice-captain. They will not let that matter rest. I think we still have the time to leave the city if we move now.”

On her way back to the City of Steel, she heard that Captain Clyde suspected Watson was the border count's son. However, they were not at the border, and the swordmistress' father, the sword saint, would not be afraid of the border count.

“We haven't done the strength test yet. We'll leave after we complete the test.”

Watson gently broke away from Annie's grip and walked to the counter as she looked at him worriedly. The adventurers in the queue made way for him.

When he approached the counter, he locked his gaze on the two young ladies behind it, who seemed terrified. Watson had a sweet smile that was unique to only him. “Sisters, I am interested in being a member of the Blood Rose adventurer team. Additionally, I would like to do a new strength assessment of our team. Is that okay?”

“Of course, sure. You must first complete a form and register your details. Following that, one of our staff members will conduct a battle test with you. Your combat level will determine your adventurer team's level! Of course, when fighting with the staff, you might choose to fight in a team. Adventurers are more inclined to fight in a group than they are to fight alone.”

“I understand. Then, I'll choose to fight as a team.”

Watson nodded in response and quickly filled out the form. Then, he waved to Clyde and the others behind him. “It's time for the test. Everyone, come here quickly.”

“Young Master Watson, why are we still here for the test? It'll be too late when the Holy Sword adventurer team members arrive if we don't leave now.”

Arthur could not refrain from saying that; he seemed anxious. Even though it was good that the test could increase their team's level, it was not as important as their lives. If the Holy Sword adventurer team members caught them, it was very likely that they would lose their lives.

“Where would you go? None of you will be able to leave today,” Claude growled as he wiped the fresh blood on his charred face. Watson had used the angel race's special ability, Absolute Reflection, on Claude that sent him flying backward. He had crawled out of the ruined wall in a pitiful state.

He clapped his hands as soon as he finished speaking.

Clap, clap.

More than ten adventurers appeared outside the Adventurers' Association in response to a muffled sound. Their white armor had the Holy Sword's cross mark on their chests, and they radiated with the ferocity of a silver-tier warrior. A blue-haired adolescent led the group. Additionally, he had the aura of a gold-tier warrior; even his armor was unique. Two unique Holy Swords were carved on the breast of his golden armor.

“Captain of the Holy Sword's First Unit, Blake, is here to greet you, Vice-captain. Is there anything I can do for you, Vice-captain?”

The blue-haired young man had a handsome face. He looked at Claude with narrowed eyes. Although he spoke respectfully, his eyes were casual, as if he did not care about Claude's status.

It was understandable. Although Claude was the team's vice-captain, his strength was only silver-tier. The young man, on the other hand, was at the peak of the gold tier. He was unquestionably stronger, but he was in a lower position. Additionally, he was responsible for Claude's protection at all times. That was why he did not like Claude.

In addition, he and Claude admired the swordmistress. As a result, he did not appear immediately even though he had seen what had happened in the Adventurers' Association. Instead, he waited until Claude summoned him.

“Blake, these people from a small bronze-tier adventurer team not only spoke rudely about the Holy Sword adventurer team, but they also hit me. Go and inform Lady Swordmistress.” Claude spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression twisted as he continued to say, “I'm going to destroy the Blood Rose adventurer team today.”

“I understand.”

Blake nodded and waved his hand. One of the adventurers behind him immediately turned around and walked toward the street outside.

No matter how happy he was when Claude made a fool of himself, the man was still the Holy Sword's vice-captain. His embarrassment meant an insult to the Holy Sword adventurer team, and that affected the team's reputation. He could not tolerate it.

“The Blood Rose adventurer team is just filth; trash at the bottom of the tier! Tremble to your heart's desire. You will repent for your crimes when our captain arrives!”

Claude laughed impudently, his laughter resonating throughout the Adventurers' Association. It was as if he wanted to see the ugly expressions on Watson and the others' faces. However, he was startled when he realized that Watson was still expressionless. The young man simply waved his palm in Claude's direction. “You are so irritating. You should remain silent.”

Bang!

Claude flew more than ten meters backward with a muffled sound. It was as if numerous galloping carriages had struck him. He landed on the wall that had just been smashed, widening the hole in the wall. He knelt on the ground and vomited blood; he looked miserable.

Watson's actions made everyone in the entire Adventurers' Association twitch their lips, including Blake and other people outside. It would have been reasonable if Watson had just attacked Claude in self-defense, but his actions at that moment were like a severe slap on the Holy Sword adventurer team's face.

“Kid, let go of our vice-captain. I'll fight you.”

Blake could not stand it anymore. He drew the longsword from his waist and strolled into the Adventurers' Association. Just as he was about to fight Watson, he heard his companion call out from behind him. “Lady Swordmistress is here!”

“Lady Swordmistress is here? So soon?” Blake was surprised. It had only been a few minutes since he sent someone to inform her. It would take longer than that before Lady Swordmistress received the news.

Puzzled, Blake stepped back and said, “Greetings, Lady Swordmistress.” Then, he knelt on one knee respectfully.

“Greetings, Lady Swordmistress.”

The other adventurers also spoke one after another; they sounded respectful.

Watson followed the crowd's gaze and scanned the area. He noticed a yellow-haired girl dressed in a simple robe entering the Adventurers' Association. The girl swayed with her movements as she wore a tiny sword around her waist. Her eyes were as bright as the stars, her nose was straight, her lips were petite and delicate, and her fair skin was nearly translucent.

Not only did she possess an extraordinary appearance, but she also had a piercing sword-like aura and crown-like shield on her head. Her entire demeanor was sharp and honorable.

That was the swordmistress—Christina.

As the swordmistress walked, the entire area fell silent. Only the crisp sound of boots slamming onto the floor was audible. The crowd's hearts pounded in response to the sound.

“Lord Swordmistress, you're finally here. These people from the Blood Rose adventurer team were rude to you just now. I tried to stop them, but they beat me up. Lord Swordmistress, please get justice for me.” Claude rushed forward, rolling and crawling, and told the story of what had happened.

Christina walked right by him toward Watson as if she could not hear him. Watson stiffened.

“Is this him?”

Christina opened her mouth, and the three little words sounded like an angel had uttered them.

“Yes, that's him. We encountered a strange change in the labyrinth just now. He was the one who saved us.” Two adventurers with bandages wrapped around their bodies stood behind Christina. Due to Christina's overwhelming presence, no one else saw them before they spoke.

“I got it.” Christina nodded and turned her head to look down at Watson. She was a woman, but she was more than 1.7 meters tall. “Your name is Watson, right?”

“That's right.” Watson did not want to be outdone; he stared at Christina. He did not expect that the two adventurers he saved in the maze would look for their leader. He did not know whether Christina was there to thank him or if she wanted to punish him for what had happened to Claude.

Of course, he was not afraid of either situation.
