The Reincarnated Swordsman Is A Genius mage

Chapter 9

A seasoned adventurer stepped into the scene, his attention drawn by the commotion. Adventurer 1, who was still recovering from Suno's earlier attack, pointed to Suno and explained, "A kid..."

Berholt couldn't believe his eyes, thinking to himself, "Just one kid... wow." He approached Suno and asked, "Hey kid, you did all this by yourself?"

Suno, sitting on a table, stood up and angrily stated, "I did."

Berholt was curious and questioned, "Why?"

Suno explained, "That receptionist won't pay me for my work and even stole from me." He pointed towards the locked box where his earnings were held.

Berholt examined Suno, taking note of the sand on his shoes and the claw marks on his hands. He then turned to the receptionist and asked, "What did you take from this boy?"

The receptionist replied, "He brought in some scales from a D-rank monster."

Berholt didn't seem pleased with the receptionist's behavior and told them, "Pay the kid so he can get out of here."

The receptionist hesitated but reluctantly tossed a bag of coin to Suno, who caught it eagerly. With the money in hand, Suno jumped off the table and began to make his exit just as he promised

Berholdt watched as Suno left, and he muttered to Suno, "Meet me back here in an hour."

Meanwhile, the receptionist confronted Berholdt, questioning his decision to hand over money to Suno. Berholdt quickly explained his reasoning, "Look around you. That kid beat up a full hall of E and F rank adventurers, and you think he couldn't get a few scales from some D rank monsters?"

Still uncertain,the receptionist responded, "Yeah, but he could have stolen them from..."

Berholdt interrupted him, emphasizing his point, "Did you see his clothes?"

"He was covered in sand and had claw markings on him."

The receptionist realized his mistake and fell silent. Berholdt advised him to be more careful about making people angry. As some of the adventurers who had previously been defeated began to wake up, Berholdt taunted them with a laugh, saying, "Haha, you guys should be so embarrassed. You couldn't even handle one kid."

The adventurers were not in the mood for his teasing, and one of them snapped back, "Oh, would you shut up."

Meanwhile,  Suno on the other hand, wandered around outside and came across a food stall. He inquired about the food and found out it was charred onyx meat, a local delicacy. Although the price was 5 silver coins He complimented the owner and began on his way. Suno's stomach growled loudly, revealing his hunger. 

Suno, looking visibly downtrodden, began walking away from the food stall. His recent encounter had left him feeling dejected. However, his spirits were lifted when another piece of meat flew his way.

"Kid!" a voice called out. Suno turned around to see Ryna, who had kindly offered the piece of meat and said, "It's on the house."

Suno's face lit up with gratitude, and he replied, "Thank you so much, mister."

Ryna introduced himself, saying, "The name's Ryna. Come by anytime."

Suno waved goodbye and searched for a suitable spot to rest. He found a comfortable place and decided to take a short nap. As he began to drift off, a mysterious voice interrupted his slumber.

"Wake up, Suno," it urged.

Startled, Suno woke up from his nap and looked around, confused. "Huh, who was that?"
