A man walked up to the stage. He wore black pants and a black shirt alongside black boots. He had light armor colored blue with green accents covering various parts of his body.
A dagger on each hip and various knives in a bandolier going across his chest. He had a silver blindfold covering his eyes and a gold circlet that had a black gem in the center.
He was around six feet tall, with an athletic physique. His silvery hair was long for a male, reaching down to just above his waist in a fishtail braid.
He had long pointed ears and dark skin, which, along with his circlet, showed his status as a high dark elf.
Hermes was silent for all of five seconds before reminding himself of what he was here for. "After the Little Rookie and Sword Princess had failed, the former Apollo Familia member, the Quick Draw, still wants to try his shot at pulling the legendary spear from its place in the stone! But will he succeed?"
The brilliant beguiling smile capable of wooing or lowering the guards of anyone, that was normally adorned by the high dark elf. Was temporarily replaced by a frown as he was reminded of that Familia. A Familia he used to hold in high regard, he now utterly loathed.
His mind continued its wandering as he marched up the steps, drifting to what or rather who brought him here. Riveria, a high elf that was a member of the Loki Familia.
Alongside Ryuu, a former member of the Astrea Familia, and a waitress at the Hostess of Fertility. He didn't know what exactly to consider them, but anything less than his best friends would have been an insult.
After all, they wouldn't stop pestering him and bringing him outside after the incident that cost him his eyes. Not that it affected his ability as an adventurer too much.
But his sight had always been something he was praised for, being able to easily spot things even the most capable level 6 adventurers would fail to notice.
But that was gone now, and while he could still fight just fine and even notice things others couldn't, it was much harder than it should have been.
He finally reached the spear and took a breath before allowing the smile that came so naturally to once again take its rightful place. Of course, as soon as that smile was shown off, there was a mass of women and even some men swooning.
He wrapped his hands around the spear and heard a feminine voice in his head. "I have found you."
Before the blue crystals holding the spear shattered. Leaving him a bit confused at first, Bell had hopped back on stage to congratulate him, and everyone started cheering.
