Calamity Upon This World

As Jasmine cast the (Clean) spell on herself, her face and clothes became clean again.

Now, once again, she looked like her regular self.

She followed the bespectacled man, the receptionist, and the group of adventurers as they all went upstairs.

And what greeted them was quite surprising, as most of the adventurers in the building were standing in a circle.

As the receptionist pushed them aside, what she saw was.

A strange-looking black-haired man in a black tuxedo who had his face covered in a strange mask that enshrouded his face from the nose down in a plain grey mask, and the part above in a red material with a black lens where his eyes were.

But the most shocking thing was the mana around him that was sticking close to him. She could sense that even without the man's action, all the mana in the room seemed to be moving towards him.

It was almost as if it didn't want to leave his side.

Her whole life, she had been told about how she was talented in the art of magic or how she was loved by Mana, but as she observed the boy,.

What she saw was pure, unadulterated talent—the kind of talent she could never compare to.

However, distracting herself from the boy, she saw the unconscious bodies of Connor and Bron lying at his feet.

So with a slight tension that quickly went away as she remembered about the bespectacled man that was standing behind her, the receptionist named Bella asked.

"Are you responsible for their current state?"

[A few moments earlier]

As William finally saw the main adventurers guild branch building in Markwelter Kingdom, he smiled.

This was it. Finally, after a whole month of travelling, he finally reached it.

Truthfully, it took him way longer to reach here than he expected.

He wished that he had spatial magic or some other means of fast travel, but sadly, he didn't, so he was forced to travel by carriage like everyone else.

The whole journey from Karka to Markwelter had been uneventful; it was almost boring.

Which is why William found it scary, as he was supposed to be surrounded by bad luck, yet he was able to enjoy a peaceful and almost therapeutic trip as he got to witness the wonders of nature and human civilization in the new world.

Without some sort of natural disaster, assasin, or dragon trying to kill him.

Even with his mana suppressed, he was still no stranger to petty bad luck or other events that, while not life-threatening, most certainly did make his life annoying.

But to be able to enjoy a whole month without nonsensical events happening around him allowed him to get some good rest before his journey.

So as he entered the building, his mood was at an all-time high.

However,unfortunately for William, all good things must come to an end.

As he entered the building, he was greeted by the flying figure of a middle-aged man who was rapidly approaching him.

Out of pure reflex, William grabbed the man by his shirt and slammed him on the ground.

BAMM!!

Everyone in the guild hall was shocked by the appearance of the man, and even more so by his actions.

The man William had just smashed into the ground was called Bron.

And right now, both Connor and Bron, after getting drunk, were brawling for a reason no one was really sure of.

This wasn't that rare of an occurrence; after all, both of these men had a friendly rivalry of sorts, due to which they occasionally ended up brawling to determine who was superior.

Of course, the men never went far enough to seriously hurt each other, and both of them were too weak to actually endanger the establishment, and even if they did end up breaking furniture, the cost would be reduced from their merit points.

Overall, it wasn't anything serious, but for the adventurers, it was a form of great entertainment for them, so it was an unspoken rule among everyone to not interfere in the fight and simply enjoy the entertainment.

But as they saw the newcomer, they were a bit unsure about what to do until they decided to just continue enjoying the show like they were doing unless he did something dangerous.

"How dare you?" Connor shouted, his anger evident in his tone.

Right now, he was too drunk to form proper thoughts, but he still managed to get angry at getting his fight with his rival interrupted by some random newcomer.

With vengeance in his mind, he charged towards William as he brandished his fist, prepared to end the fight in one hit.

Sigh

William sighed as he observed the barbaric actions of the man and the unwillingness of everyone around him to stop them.

So with no other option, he rotated the dial on his ring, turning it to level 2, and regaining his ability to use mana.

As he did, all the mana started moving towards him, awaiting his command, which, sadly, never came as his opponent was too weak for him to use a spell.

But that didn't mean that the change in surrounding mana went unnoticed by the people around him who had a high affinity for mana.

And quite frankly, they were a bit scared about why all the mana suddenly started moving towards the boy; they were even prepared to intervene in case he cast a dangerous spell.

Thankfully for them, their worries were useless, as William just raised his fist and punched Connor downward, slamming him into the unconscious body of Bron.

And it was here that Bella and her group arrived.

As William explained the situation to Bella, the details of the story were attested to by the guild members who saw everything.

She quickly apologised, feeling glad for not having rushed to conclusions and having done something irrational.

"I deeply apologise for the actions of our guild members. Please forgive them." She said sincerity was evident in her tone as she bowed at a 90-degree angle.

"It's fine, no harm done," William replied, not wanting the young woman to feel guilty for the actions of her subordinates, especially when they didn't really affect him.

Hearing his response, Bella smiled as she finally stood up front again and asked.

"Since you're here at our branch, may I ask how we can assist you today?"

"I want to become an adventurer; please help me register," he replied, smiling even though it was hidden by his mask.
