Fragile Phantasy

Part 7

As the stunningly beautiful woman with long, light blue hair and snow-white skin entered the capital, she was immediately approached by several men.

"Dear young lady, can I be of assistance?" a young man with a muscular physique offered.

"I'll take you wherever you need to go, Miss," said another man with luscious locks.

"What is your name, young lady?" inquired another man, cigarette still hanging from his lips.

The woman's expression turned serious and her gaze piercing. "Can you please get away from me," she replied, her irritation palpable.

The men raised their eyebrows in surprise. "Well, aren't you the arrogant one," one of them responded, his tone threatening.

Without hesitation, the woman unsheathed her sword, and in one swift motion, the men's hair was shaved off.

Their eyes widened in shock and they almost started crying. "This one is dangerous," they muttered before running away.

The elders quickly recognized her outfit as that of a samurai from the Altair clan in the Artempus region. "It's dangerous to approach her," the people around whispered.

They all looked at the woman. "But I heard there are no female samurai in that clan," some of them murmured.

Her intimidating aura caused everyone to move away, and one person was even frozen in fear.

She glared at him as she approached. "Tell me where the guild is located," she demanded in a forceful tone, her eyes rolling almost frighteningly.

The man struggled to answer. "It's in the middle of the city. Just go straight that way," he stammered.

The woman continued walking, her determined stride signaling that she was on a mission.

Yunya despises men because she believes they view women as weak, obedient servants. "I'm going to create a world where women reign supreme, where we don't need men to survive. I'll prove to you, Father, that strength isn't tied to gender," she vows through gritted teeth.

Upon reaching the guild, Yunya observes the men drinking and carousing. Entering the guild, Yunya was met with the sight of drunk men having a good time. However, they fell silent as she stood confidently among them. One man approached her, claiming, "hey, she's mine."

"I am not anyone's property," Yunya answered, giving him an intimidating look. "By the way, I am Kryge, the winner of the earlier contest. Care to have a good time, beautiful?" Kryge said with a grin.

"Leave in front of me this instant," Yunya demanded.

"I like it when they're playing hard to get," Kryge smirked. "But no matter how feisty you are, you're just going to fall for me." He then grabbed a nearby maid and kissed her, making it clear that she was uncomfortable.

This enraged Yunya, and she drew her sword without hesitation, ready to attack Kryge. He quickly blocked her attack with his flaming sword, and the force of their collision threw them together.

As they continued to battle, their skills seemed evenly matched, and the aura of magic they released indicated that they were both powerful. If this continued, the guild was going to bw destroyed and both of them would die. Kryge smiled, impressed with what he saw.

"Good, but based on the region's law, you don't have the right to challenge me to a duel right now. You still need to garner a lot of reputation for that opportunity," Kryge said, boasting about his higher-ranking privilege.

Yunya realized that she needed to build her reputation and gather resources before challenging Kryge, she then stood straight and garners the attension of everyone. "To the female adventurers here, I would like to form a party with you for the highest-ranked mission," she declared confidently, pointing to the mission at the top of the charts, one of the highest levels of difficulty.
