The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 149 Bond Breaking Part Five

After a few minutes of walking through the nearly empty streets of New Casablanca, he finally spotted the gigantic building that was known as a Battle Center. He felt an excited shudder run through his body, and he accelerated his pace as he saw the front door in his field of view.

“He told me I should ask for Mahlya!”, he thought as he was a few feet from the door. “Or was it Sahlya?”, he couldn’t help but shake his head as his memory began failing him. “No need to press the matter! It should be easy.”, he thought as the automatic door opened in front of him.

As soon as the door opened, he heard a buzzing cacophony escape from the building. “The player base is really active!”, he couldn’t help but blurt as it was currently near midnight. He stepped inside of the large hall and saw that it was still quite active. He noticed several groups of individuals standing or sitting near tables, in the hand of some were beverages while others smoked a cigarette while passionately speaking with their friends. Wind felt something in his heart ache a little bit as he saw the numerous friendships that were displayed in front of him; he couldn’t help but open his chest widely as he treaded with confident steps.

He crossed the distance between him and the receptionist that stood on the side in a few moments. An amiable look appeared on his face as he instinctively activated his soul power. “Hello there!”, he exclaimed with a charming tone while gazing at the woman in front of him.

“Uhm, Hello. What can I do for you?”, exclaimed a clearly tired receptionist. Her eyes expressed her inner sleepiness, but as Wind approached, her tiredness disappeared as she gazed at the youth in front of him.

“A friend of mine is one of your regulars. You see, he has been telling me many goods about your games, and today I finally decided that I should try it for myself.”, as he began speaking, he fell in his habit of talking too much and began endlessly flapping his lips.

A clearly annoyed look crossed the receptionist’s face. Still, as the youth in front of her didn’t do anything against the rule, she listened patiently at his constant blabbing without voicing any discontentment. After a minute or so of Wind trying to hit on the receptionist had passed, he coughed as he saw that the woman in front of him was clearly not interested and decided that he should stop.

“Well, you see he told me that if I wanted to play the game. I should just come here and ask for Rahlya.”, as he finished, he looked at the receptionist with sparkling eyes.

“Rahlya?”, the receptionist mumble under her breath as she fumbled through her memory in search of the individual named Rahlya. “Oh! You mean Tahlya?”, she exclaimed in a loud voice.

“Ah yeah, that’s her name!”, he responded in a snappy tone while slapping his forehead.

“She is currently taking care of one of our top rankers, but I can see if there is any battle maiden I can accommodate for you!”, she then looked at the screens in front of her. After a minute of clicking sounds, she finally raised her head and looked pitifully at Wind for a split second. Her pity disappeared in an instant as she remembered that the youth bothered her in the middle of her night shift.

“There is actually one Battle Maiden that is ready to help you through your first steps. Do you want me to make contact with her for you?”, she asked with a charming tone.

A satisfied smile appeared on Wind’s face as he accepted her offer with a slap on the reception table in front of him. The receptionist rolled her eyes as she made an appointment with the available Battle Maiden. A few minutes passed as she asked Wind if he wanted a beverage during his wait, which our young official refused as he didn’t want to bother her anymore. During the wait, he noticed a charming battle maiden make her way through the large reception hall and couldn’t help but ask if that lady would be helping him. Sadly, the receptionist explained that Battle Maidens weren’t available for every player, but every new attendant would be helped with a battle maiden. The charming brunette he had seen in the reception hall was already fulfilling her duty and wasn’t available for him.

He didn’t take it at heart and was even more interested in the other battle maiden. If that brunette was already quite the babe, then the other should definitely follow the same norm. He thought as he tried killing time while listening to the conversations of the player base. He couldn’t make head or tail about their talks but had managed to hear several accomplishments of a few notable players. One of them being the rising dark horse that had appeared out of nowhere in the last month, Stroke. He couldn’t help but think about Fell and guessed that he should be quite known through the battle center due to his status as a player. Then in the middle of his thoughts, he heard a deep sound that slightly shook the earth in repetition, he assessed that the sound was akin to someone walking and turned his head in interest.

There he saw her, with shoulder broader than anything he had ever seen. Forearms the size of a man’s thighs, and a thick neck that made him doubt if anything could break it. Truly a man of steel, but in this case, that man of steel was wearing the battle maiden’s outfit and was making her way toward him. His sight locked on her face, and he couldn’t help but shudder as he saw her look at him. Everyone made way through the receptionist hall, and a large path leading to Wind opened in front of her.
