(R) Legendary Summoner
Listh Carnal

"You're sure the level is only eighteen?" The hoarse speech of a middle-aged man sitting on the elder bench, who had just obtained a report from one of his subordinates.

His subordinate who was also a middle-aged man nodded his head, after finding the response from his report of what he had just seen in the Low Team match at City Square.

"True Young Master. If he doesn't remember wrongly, he says his name, Ryu?!" Her speech.

The middle-aged man sitting on the bench rested his body. His hand rubbed his chin thinking about who the gifted child was. If he could get his heart, the empire would definitely get a superior seed before someone obtained it.

While contemplating, one of the men sitting next to him called out his name.

"Young Master Chrysos, is there a problem? Don't you usually shut up like this?"

The middle-aged man who turned out to be named Chrysos came to a realization from his daydream because of that sentence. He shook his head and told his subordinates to go look for information about the boy.

Upon discovering that, the man questioning Chrysos instantly fell silent in thought. He realized there was someone who had managed to interest him. But he did not want to ask her immediately and decided to see her later.

"Rui. You think if I bring you some souvenirs for Dad, will he be happy?" Chrysos asked the man as sorry as he was.

He who turned out to be named Rui smiled, realizing the intent of Chrysos' words. "If he can be useful, I'm sure Your Majesty will be happy!"

Hearing him, Chrysos became even more excited. He decided to watch how great the superior seedlings were before he wrapped them home.

At the same time, the Divine Crack Guild Team also obtained reports about the events that befell their team members.

Bellerophon thrust his hand into the table, to the point that there was a small crack in the surface of the table made of very hard wood. It was really upset that he had lost to a Guild that was the sworn enemy of his Guild.

"Yarta. You recover your wounds! In the next game, we'll make them pay double!" Annoyed annoyed.

Meanwhile, Ryuha who had just come out of the hall that was not too long could only be astonished to find the vastness of the Colosseum where the High Team match was conducted. This arena will also be the stage in the rounds after the preliminary round is completed. Ryuha was really looking forward to competing in this vast arena.

"Baal, will it be at the Tournament at the end of the year, that the area will be this big?! I'm really looking forward to it!" Excited words. Baal who heard him clapped his forehead softly.

"Haissh, you son of a bitch! Do not get dissolved in pleasure and forget our plans! Especially this Guild Tournament! Because this is really very important to you!"

Hearing Baal's words, Ryuha thought back about the thing that made her inevitably have to win this Guild Tournament. Of course nothing else and not is the main prize that will be given to the team that won the first prize.

"The main prize this time is the same as before, a thousand gold, and one rare plant fruit that is, the Snow Lotus!" Vella's words were again ringing in her head.

One thousand Gold, indeed that was important to him because he still needed a lot more Gold in order to be able to continue seeing the sun during the day and the moon at night. But more important is the Snow Lotus, where it is one of the ingredients needed to eliminate the curse he suffered.

"Do I have to pick it up and run away like that? Nah! I can't do it!" His inner. "Hahhh, I better think about it later! The most important thing now was, winning the Tournament in order to obtain that thing!"

On one of the spectators, Ellisa who was analyzing the techniques possessed by the team that was competing accidentally glanced towards the mouth of the hallway. From a distance he found his sister who was still silent with a serious look at the match that was still going on. Just as he was about to stand up to call out to her, he saw the figure of a middle-aged woman with a black coat approaching his sister. His eyes narrowed because he did not know the identity of the woman.

Not with Ryuha. After getting a little surprised by the familiar voice calling out his name, he with a small smile greeted the arrival of the woman who had a betting agreement with him, without turning around.

"I don't want to see Rin right now! If you want to talk to me, we can find a better place!"

"Rin yes.., he is currently undergoing special training! Well, even though I had a chance to ask him, but he said that he did not want to laze around so that he could get a high position in the Year End Tournament later." Answer Listh. Hearing that made Ryuha feel even more relieved.

"It's so noisy here! What if we move somewhere else?" Say Lists. Ryuha immediately nodded. They then left the open even though their curiosity had not been fulfilled.

Inside the hallway, they stood leaning their respective bodies on pillars facing each other.

"When we only arrive at the time of the day's rest. I hope this conversation will be a short one." Ryuha.

"of course. But before that... "

Realizing that something was around them, Listh smirked as she concentrated the water energy into tiny needles that floated around her. Without waiting for a long time, he shot it at a pillar not far from where they were.

"I didn't expect that the Leader Slayer Guild would have enough free time to take the time to eavesdrop on someone's conversation?!" His words that turned out to be aware of the existence of the Leader Slayer Guild were none other than Jigan Mavros. His figure also revealed the trunk of his nose, with a thin grin of his lips.

"Ehem, I'm so sorry I just happened to pass by and accidentally saw you two. Didn't expect that the senior I admired a long time ago had a relationship with one of my guild members." He said as he walked towards the two of them.

"Well since this is our meeting after a few years, what if you take the time to drink at our residence?" Added. Listh smiled slightly. Hearing that certainly makes him happy because the time to talk to Ryuha will increase. But unfortunately, he had to reject it because it had nothing to do with his arrival this time.

Hearing a little explanation from Listh Carnal, Ryuha could guess if the woman had come for something to be done. "Are you going to the woods tonight?" The words that came out of Ryuha's mouth made Listh nod.

"Is there anything you need?" Said the woman. Ryuha nodded before giving a little explanation. "Actually I-"

I don't know if suddenly Listh fired a water needle into the end of the hallway that headed to the right. It made Ryuha turn her face away without continuing her words.

"It looks like there's a little mouse watching us?!" Listh Carnal could feel the aura left at the end of the passageway. If he was not mistaken, that aura was possessed by a warrior from the Blue Dragon Empire. But since that person had left, he could not confirm that.

"bitch. It would be better if it was just the two of us. I'll be waiting for you at Kerata City's gate in the afternoon!" Say Listh as he steps away from the Colosseum. Ryuha did not give any answer, because the plan was indeed he wanted to ask Listh Carnal for a little help.

On the sidelines of the small talk of the Leader and his members, there was clearly a voice of a man who said if the match would be paused for an entire hour, where the time is given to participants to prepare themselves for the next match.

The desolate passageway was instantly filled by those who rushed for a moment to leave the seat they had obtained to slightly stretch the body after watching the match between the superhumans. Together, Ryuha and his supervisor return to the inn to gather with the other members and have a discussion.

The atmosphere of the inn was clearly different from before. Because now there is a Leader who will lead the course of their discussion. The seven of them sat on the sofa of their living room, and began to discuss.

...

"All right, I get it. I'll do it as much as I can!" Ryuha said after getting the order to be a striker in the afternoon game Low Team.

Actually it was quite a shock to those who were there. The one who should be competing is Sela. But because Jigan Mavros knows what Ryuha will do after this, so he decides to give Ryuha more time because it will also make it easier for the upcoming match.

Time quickly passed, the discussion they had went smoothly on the direction of Jigan Mavros and some reviews from those who had quite a lot of experience. Now it was time for them to continue the match.

Everything seemed fine at the time, but not with Ellisa. He realized something was wrong. Therefore, he asked Ryuha to stay at the inn with him first.

"What's the big brother? Is something wrong?" Ryuha asked after the last person walked away from the inn.

Ellisa also expressed her curiosity. In addition, he also said that he saw his sister talking to a cloaked person at the Colosseum.

"I'm sorry that I might be interfering too much in your business. But since you've called me big brother, I won't let you enjoy the trouble alone!"

Ryuha could see how serious Ellisa was when she said that. It was really clearly plastered in both of his eyes. Having someone willing to worry about her made her feel very happy. The man smiled and explained the situation a little.

"Surely, I can break through tonight. So I asked for his help. Besides, I also still need some Essence."

Hearing that answer made Ellisa even more relieved. "What essence do you need? I have some unused stash of Essence."

"Five Natural Monster Essence, two Earth Monster Essence, and three Fire Monster Essence. Everything is low level." Answer Ryuha. "Ah yes, I still have one low-level Natural Monster Essence from the Jade Python that I hunted at that time." Added.

"Hmm, so. Here, take!" Ellisa said as she gave two red Essence to Ryuha.

"This is Fire Monster Essence?! Brother, thank you very much." He said as he received the two round objects. Ellisa nodded her head then invited her sister to hurry up to catch up with their comrades who were already far ahead.

As before, they split up at the crossroads to their respective destinations. Jigan Mavros himself went to the Colosseum.

"Baal, are you sure of what you said at the Colosseum?"

Just then, Baal told Ryuha after he managed to break through, he told her to start getting used to using the Blood Curse Sword, although it would actually be better once Ryuha reached level forty.

"Well, at least I want you to get used to slashing using it, no need to overdo it. You don't have to use his abilities either. Besides...., I don't know, maybe just my gut feeling?!" Answer Baal.

Because Baal had said so, Ryuha did not want to bother about it any further.

His steps behind his friends simultaneously entered the hallway leading to the preparation place.

While waiting for the first game to end, they analyzed in more detail the members of the team who were fighting, although the awkwardness to Ryuha still lingered in the minds of the three people. But thanks to what their Leader said during the discussion, the feeling did not thicken as much as before because they had shaken hands with each other.

...

"The match was won by the Luminous Storm Guild."

"As expected. Judging from their abilities, they should also qualify easily for the next round?!" Sela. On his page sheet was almost fulfilled by the scrawl of black ink.

"After ten minutes, the two teams that will play next are expected to get ready!"

Hearing that, Ryuha, Raka, and Hidrix got up from their seats and rushed to enter the arena.

"The team we have to face this time from the High Clouds Guild. We should have won easily." Ryuha. The two colleagues nodded their heads, thinking the same as Ryuha.

...

"The match was won by the Slayer Guild Team!"

Everything went according to plan. Ryuha and his colleagues left the arena and went straight to the Colosseum. Ryuha himself parted ways at the intersection to go to see Listh Carnal who he said would be waiting at the gate of Kerata City.

From a distance, Listh saw the figure of Ryuha walking towards him.

"Looks like your match went smoothly?!" Her speech. Ryuha nodded his head. "I will explain it to you as I walk!" Ryuha.

Passing through the slightly muddled streets after the heavy rain that poured down, they went into the forest to start what they had planned.
