Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

Chapter 54: Reward for Slaying the Ember Tiger

After talking with Siegfried, Shye felt a little bit better. Although he was walking towards the dormitory with a slight guilt in his heart, he started repeatedly telling himself that he didn't do anything wrong and simply killed them to protect himself.

Upon arriving in front of his dormitory, his eyebrows rose after seeing such an unexpected scene.

Maia was there, happily chatting with Instructor Fienna who seemed to be waiting for him to return.

A few moments later, Instructor Fienna noticed him.

"Oh, Crowley, there you are. Sorry for intruding but Dean Snowcrest told me that the City Lord of Colzen City summoned you. If you still have some time today maybe you can drop by the city hall?

Instructor Fienna said

"Hmm? The City Lord? Why?"

Shye was confused, he couldn't think of any reason why the city lord would summon him.

"You silly, after getting rid of a major threat inside the beginner adventurer zone, why else would he summon you?"

Instructor Fienna explained with a smile on her face.

After hearing what Instructor Fienna said, Shye was pleasantly surprised. It seems that he would get another reward.

"I see! Thanks for telling me, instructor. I'll drop by today!"

Shye said to Instructor Fienna before turning his head to look at Maia.

"Maia, I'll go to the City Hall for a bit, I'll buy snacks for you before I return!"

After hearing what her big brother said, a wide smile appeared on Maia's face and her eyes sparkled in excitement.

"Okay! Be careful Big Brother! I want some fried octopus balls okay?"

"Sure!"

Instructor Fienna smiled after hearing the conversation between the siblings.

"How nostalgic...I wonder where are you right now...Big Brother?"

Instructor Fienna muttered to herself.

...

...

...

Shye wanted to hop and skip toward the city hall as he daydreamed about what reward the City Lord would give him.

However, he knew that he would look silly if he did that and he might run into one of his classmates so he suppressed the urge to hop and skip.

Still, there was a wide smile on his face as he walked towards the city hall and after fifteen minutes of walking, he finally arrived.

Shye was surprised at how large the city hall was. Although he lived his entire life in Colzen City, there wasn't any reason for him to visit the city hall before and so, this was his first time here.

He admired how pretty the flower beds were in front of the city hall, the plants and trees seemed to be regularly maintained and the building itself was made from one of the finest materials you can find around Colzen City, the Primrose blocks.

After being awestruck for a few seconds, Shye gathered his wits and walked toward the end of the queue to wait for his turn as the guards interviewed each person.

Fortunately, he managed to save a bit of time after an idle guard asked him about his agenda inside the city hall.

Shye told the guard that he was from Colzen Adventurer Academy and that he was summoned here by the City Lord.

The guard was a bit skeptical after hearing what Shye's agenda was, however, after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered about the matter regarding the ember tiger.

"Oh! Are you Shye Crowley?" The guard asked.

"Yes, I'm Shye Crowley..." Shye humbly replied.

"I see, sorry for not realizing immediately...Can I see your identification card?"

Shye handed over his identification card and after the guard verified the authenticity of the card, he directly led Shye towards the City Lord's office.

On the way, Shye enthusiastically looked around.

The interior of the city hall was finely designed so the guard understood his enthusiasm because he also experienced the same thing when he entered the city hall for the first time.

Finally, after a few minutes of walking, the two of them arrived in front of the City Lord's office.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"City Lord, Shye Crowley has arrived."

"You may come in"

After the City Lord gave his permission, the guard opened the door for Shye but he didn't enter with him.

On the other hand, Shye looked at the City Lord and bowed as a sign of respect.

The City Lord was a middle-aged man who seemed to be similar in age to Dean Snowcrest.

He had a thin body which obviously wasn't trained for close combat, however, he had a dignified aura and a constant stern look on his face.

Due to his observations, Shye concluded that the City Lord was probably either a mage or a priest.

"Hello, Shye Crowley, welcome to Colzen City Hall. I'm Elijah Winston, you may call me City Lord Elijah."

"I've summoned you here after hearing about your heroic deeds. On behalf of Colzen City, I would like to thank you for removing a dangerous threat inside the beginner adventurer zone."

City Lord Elijah slightly bowed towards Shye who also bowed in return.

"Thank you, City Lord, however, I simply did my duty to protect my classmates and was lucky enough to narrowly defeat the ember tiger."

Elijah's eyebrows rose after hearing Shye's words. He didn't expect that such a young man would be devoid of arrogance.

He then smiled towards Shye and said

"Still, you prevented the death of many rookie adventurers and for that, I would like to give you a reward."

Shye's ears practically clapped in glee after hearing that he would receive another reward but he forcefully suppressed his happiness and remained serious.

City Lord Elijah took out a huge bag of silver coins and placed it on the table. He then looked at Shye and said

"Inside this bag are one thousand silver coins. Please take it as a reward for your effort and heroic spirit."
