Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Fight Me
“Oh, there he is! Crowley!”

“Shut the hell up, stupid big brother! Why are you yelling in a restaurant?”

“Oh? Big Brother Adrian!, Instructor Fienna!”

“Aihh…you too! Stop yelling! Also, stop calling me instructor, I’m not an instructor anymore, big sister Fienna is fine.”

Meeting his favorite instructor, from whom he had learned most of his combat techniques, naturally brought an excited expression to Shye’s face, especially since he didn’t expect to see her in Valenzia City.

“Hello, may I take your order?”

…After ordering a bunch of delectable stuff without holding back, it was finally time for the three of them to have a nice chat.

“I would never have expected to meet you at the Valenzia City Hall, instr– b-big sis Fienna. I get that Big Bro Adrian is an adamantite-ranked adventurer but why are you also here?”

“Hmm? Well, I was initially headed to Valenzia City after being promoted to my guild’s main branch, but I was intercepted by some damned terrorists or bandits, or whatever they were, who tried to abduct me. Naturally, I killed them all, but I was seriously wounded and poisoned in the process. Since I didn’t have the antidote for the specific type of poison they used, I nearly lost my life. Fortunately, Dean Snowcrest found me just in time and gave me a high-grade all-cure antidote, which was extremely rare. In gratitude, I promised to serve as a combat instructor for six years.”

“I see…so that’s what happened…If you don’t mind me asking, what is your adventurer rank right now, Big Sis Fienna?”

“I’m a recently promoted emerald. Since I failed to report to the main branch for years, they demoted me to ruby as punishment.”

“HMMPH! No matter, my little sister is way more talented than me. it would only be a matter of time before she becomes an adamantite-ranked adventurer!”

Hearing Adrian’s proud words, Shye couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

It seemed that Adrian doted on Fienna just as he did on Maia.

‘Hahaha, big brothers will be big brothers!’

The guy was more proud of his little sister than Fienna was herself.

“What about you, Crowley? What are you doing in Valenzia?”

“O-Oh, right! Didn’t you tell me that you’ve been promoted to the main branch already?!” Adrian suddenly answered with a shocked expression.

Hearing her big brother’s words, Fienna’s eyes widened in utter shock and disbelief.

“I-Is that true, Crowley?”

She believed nothing Shye did could surprise her anymore, as she was accustomed to his incredible achievements.

However, it seemed he had once again surpassed his limits in accomplishing the impossible.

It was simply hard to believe that her student, who had graduated from the academy just a little over a year ago, had already caught up to her in adventurer rank.

Seeing his instructor’s shocked expression, which he took as a form of acknowledgment, naturally made Shye feel inwardly giddy.

“Yes, inst– Big Sis Fienna. I’m already an emerald-ranked adventurer now and was promoted to the Raven’s Blade’s main branch about three months ago.”

“T-Three months ago?!” Fienna exclaimed, causing her to feel embarrassed upon remembering that they were in a restaurant.

[Congratulations! You earned 1 point!]

Naturally, the big brother would seize this opportunity to strike back and tease his little sister.

“Hahaha! Fienna, why are you so noisy?! We’re in a restaurant, no?”

*BONK!*

“Is it funny? We had a whole day and you didn’t even tell me when you already knew.”

Fuming in slight embarrassment, Fienna gave her older brother a solid whack to the back of his head.

Adrian was quite happy about it, though. The two of them had been apart for six years.

He was just glad that they were still as close as they were in the past.

…After a few more moments, a waiter pushing a small tray cart arrived, delivering all the food they ordered.

Naturally, the fragrant aroma of the seafood dishes instantly captured Shye’s attention.

Thus, the three of them paused their conversation to eat, resuming it a few minutes later.

It was mainly Shye, the student, and Fienna, the instructor, who talked while Adrian happily listened to the two of them, gazing deeply at Shye from time to time.

He was still having difficulties believing that the super rookie in front of him, who had every reason to be arrogant, was actually a very likable guy.

As time passed, Shye recounted his glorious and unbelievable tales to the two of them, causing Adrian’s mouth to drop open with each story.

If another person told such heroic stories, people would laugh at the guy for being delusional.

As for Fienna, however, there was a bittersweet feeling in her heart. She knew that her student wasn’t a lying phony, meaning that everything he told her was true.

If so, then it meant that he had already surpassed her.

In the past, despite Crowley’s talents, he always ended up as her training dummy, enduring numerous slashes and stabs from her wooden sword.

But now, it seemed that such things couldn’t happen again.

She knew she couldn’t defeat her student anymore, yet, she didn’t want to run away. She wanted to face the truth head-on.

Fienna herself was a prideful talented youngster who was a once-in-a-millenia genius.

Hence, it was quite difficult for her to accept that she had been surpassed.

However, since Shye was her student, there was this tinge of happiness deep inside her.

She didn’t like it as she was a competitive person, but it ended up being the lone solace she could find inside her heart.

“Hey, Crowley.”

“Yes, Big Sis Fienna?”

“Fight me.”

“W-What?”

“I said fight me. I want to see your progress.”

Seeing her serious disposition, Shye knew he couldn’t refuse.

Perhaps his beloved instructor wanted to test if she had already been surpassed by her student, or perhaps she simply wanted to spar with a formidable opponent; either way, Shye had to face her in combat.

Otherwise, he felt that she would somehow drift away.

“Alright then. I won’t hold back, big sister.”

“My thoughts exactly.”
