Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

Chapter 531 : Unexpected Newcomer

the majestic sun once more rose to its heavenly throne, its gentle golden rays signaling the start of another great day.

yet, a particular ashen-haired young man remained in his bed, fast asleep.

after a long yet pleasant day of promotions and nostalgic reunions, shye decided to relax the next day.

he relentlessly took on quests and trained to improve his reaction time and attributes in the past five months.

hence, he decided to give himself a nice, relaxing one-day break wherein he lazed around all day, doing whatever he wanted.

he at least deserved such a break once in a while.

it was only the next day that he left his room, heading towards the guild headquarters to check on his division's progress, planning to resume his relentless grind.

he had no idea how much time remained before the old man's organization, verden zachrana, would launch a full-scale war against dweezel hawkins.

the only thing he could do now was increase his strength as much as possible.

'the old man would give me a mandatory quest if there's something that needs to be done, anyway. no need to overthink.' shye pondered as he walked, arriving in front of the guild headquarters after fifteen minutes.

"we greet the division leader!"

"oh? good morning, orto, banja. you guys are early."

"we're planning a duo hunt today, and since it's our first time taking on a quest with just the two of us, we need to find one that's neither too tough nor too easy."

"that's great, i wish the two of you good luck."

after a brief interaction with two of his division members, shye headed straight to their new, spacious division lounge, while orto and banja went to the quest board to find suitable quests.

he at least had to see if his division was headed toward the next tier because if not, he would naturally make some adjustments.

months? years? shye didn't know when the old man would enact his plans.

hence, he had to make his subordinates as strong as possible and try to rope as many of them as he could before the battle against dweezel.

he naturally had a plan on how to do it.

it was just that, he needed to develop their trust and foster loyalty and camaraderie with him a bit more before attempting it.

otherwise, acting too hastily could jeopardize not only his plans but also the old man's.

a familiar voice sounded from outside the division lounge, bringing a sincere wide smile to shye's face.

out of all his teammates, this guy was the one he spent the most time with, as they were in the same course.

hence, shye was really happy now that siegfried had arrived in valenzia.

to be able to receive a promotion to the main branch in a mere two years despite not having a system...

siegfried lionheart was a monster in his own right.

"sieg! you've already made it to the main branch?"

"heh, coming from you? i tried to ask around and it seemed that you were ahead by an entire year. tch, when will i be able to beat you?" siegfried jokingly said before staring at him right in his eyes.

shye knew his friend very well.

naturally, he also knew what his gaze meant.

"sigh...you just arrived and you already want to spar?"

"hahahaha! come on, it's been a while, no? how about we do it for fun like old times?"

"as if i have a choice! let's go then, to the training hall."

their conversation had been brief, yet they had already organized a highly anticipated event—one that their guild members would eagerly watch.

naturally, shye's division members, upon hearing their conversation, immediately spread the news, leading to approximately 3,000 people gathering in the main branch's training hall.

the numbers were way less than what shye preferred.

however, it was better this way, as he did not want to humiliate his friend in front of many people, especially since he had just arrived.

"hey, who's that guy? daring to challenge crowley...what a delusional youngster!"

"shut the hell up, you idiot! can't you see they're friends?! this is nothing but a friendly spar!"

"still, i still want to know who this other guy is. if he's shye crowley's friend, then this guy should know better than anyone how strong crowley is!"

"i don't know...it feels like i've seen him before...but where?"

"you donuts! how could you forget?! aren't they from the same legendary colzen academy representative batch that made history?! that guy right there is siegfried lionheart, colzen academy's other warrior representative from two years ago!"
