Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 509

Chapter 509: A Lovely Gift
Under the warm rays of the majestic sun, an ashen-haired young man stood in front of a blue house.

‘Not bad…not bad!’ Shye inwardly thought as he continued admiring his new house.

From now on, he would have a permanent address and it would be easier to send and receive letters from his little sister and his lover.

Naturally, Shye wanted to purchase a few pieces of furniture and mana-powered appliances but unfortunately, his division members were probably worried sick and he still needed to report to Soaring Raven.

Hence, Shye had no choice but to admire his new house for a little while longer before heading off to the guild headquarters.

…

“Hahahaha! Look at these poor division members of Flashy Raven’s Rising, waiting for their division leader for naught…”

“That’s what you get for joining an upstart division with an unproven leader!”

Due to their rapid rise, it was inevitable that their division would gain a few haters, especially since their division leader had just been crowned as a regional champion at the tender age of twenty-two.

All eyes were simply on them, causing the mediocre divisions who have been trying hard to rise for the longest time to fade further and further into obscurity.

Most of the haters didn’t hate Shye or his division members personally, it was just that the haters viewed them as lucky eyesores, and that they merely wanted to bring them down a peg or two one way or another.

Shye’s unknown fate was naturally a great chance for them to do so.

“Y-You guys! How could you wish for your guildmate’s demise!”

“Hmph! When did we say that we want Crowley dead, huh?!”

Just before the situation escalated, a loud voice coming from another guildsman captured everyone’s attention.

“C-Crowley! Shye Crowley’s back!”

He was quite the celebrity now after being inaugurated as a regional champion.

Hence, his arrival naturally stirred up a commotion, especially after news that the inauguration chamber was also attacked by terrorists, leaving some people theorizing that he was abducted.

Well, those people were correct.

He was indeed abducted.

However, he wasn’t in any trouble at all as the ones who kidnapped him were his parents.

“W-WE GREET THE DIVISION LEADER!”

Naturally, Shye nodded warmly at his members and replied: “I’m back. I’ll return to the division lounge later. I just have to report back to the guild master. I’ll see you guys there.”

Heading towards Soaring Raven’s office, Shye knocked on the enormous door adorned with the carving of an enormous black raven.

‘Hoh…pretty sick design…’ Shye mused.

“You may enter.”

“Greetings, Guild Master.”

“Crowley!”

Seeing the reason for his sleepless nights right in front of him–well and alive, Soaring Raven’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Soaring Raven believed that Shye was in a terrible situation after being abducted by what seemed to be a huge terrorist group that had enough strength and connections to invade Valenzia City.

Even if he forcefully utilized his guild’s entire force, it would be hard to rescue his most promising member.

Hence, Soaring Raven could only sit inside his office while worrying about Shye’s safety, constantly reaching out to the city hall to check for updates and see how he could help.

Who would’ve expected that the youngster would show up at his office as though nothing happened?

…Activating his office’s sound suppression barrier, Soaring Raven spoke:

“What happened?! Did the city hall finally track those damned terrorists?!”

“Uhh…no. I managed to escape on my own, guild master.”

Shye’s words only deepened Soaring Raven’s shock, leaving his mouth agape for several seconds.

“E-Escaped on your own? How did you escape?”

“Well, I have a skill called Recall, and since the terrorists only chained me without sealing my mana, I used another skill called Mana Pen to draw a long-distance teleportation circle and returned to my recall point in Valenzia City. That easy.”

Blinking a few times at Shye’s incredible story, Soaring Raven suddenly burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha! That simple, huh? Imagine them planning for years for a five-minute attack on Valenzia City, only for their target to escape so easily a few days later… Hahahaha! I would love to see the looks on the faces of those terrorists’ higher-ups!”

Shye could only smile sheepishly at his guild master’s reply.

After all, he lied.

“Great job as always, Crowley. Here, take this.”

‘Oh? Even the guild master is going to give me something?’ Shye mused excitedly.

He was someone who loved free stuff, and naturally, he wouldn’t reject this one.

“Hmm? What’s this device, guild master?”

“This device is known as a Mana Communicator. It contains a special mana core linked to an eight-digit combination. By pressing specific buttons to dial the unique eight-digit code of another Mana Communicator, this is what occurs.”

*RING~!*

Hearing the mana communicator in his hands ring continuously, Shye was amazed.

“W-What should I do, guild master?”

“Press the green button to answer a call from another Mana Communicator. You will then be able to hear the voice of the person trying to reach you.”

“Oh? I can indeed hear your voice from the device, guild master!”

“Hahahaha! Amazing isn’t it?”

“Y-Yes. How can I obtain more?”

“It’s a new product of the Manasoft Corporation so you can simply head over to their shop and purchase one. If you have 5,000 gold coins, that is.”

“Oh!! So I can get one for 5,000 gold coins, huh? Not bad at all! Do they have lots of stock for this item?”

This time, it was Soaring Raven who was dumbfounded.

How young was this guy? Yet, he was talking about 5,000 gold coins as though they were mere chump change!

Moreover, from his question, it seemed that Shye wanted to buy more than one.

“I-I’m not sure, but you should hurry if you want to buy more. These Mana Communicators are highly sought after by high-rank adventurers, and who knows how long the stock will last? Also, I believe they’re only sold in Valenzia City.”

“I see…thanks for the information and the lovely gift, guild master! If there’s nothing else, then I’m off!”

*FWOOSH!*
