Runes - A Tale Of The Abyss 17 Chapter 17 - This Is Alfrum??!!

"I SAID I'M SORRY YOU CRAZY WOMAN STOP CHASING ME!"

Well... things weren't looking too bright for the young man as he was being chased by a battlemage he had just... uh... met? Yeah met is the right word.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU AND FEED YOU TO THE DOGS, BUT BEFORE THAT I'LL CASTRATE YOU PERV!"

"SOMEBODY FOR FUCKS SAKE HELP ME! THIS CRAZY CHICK IS AFTER MY CHASTITY!"

"DON'T MANIPULATE THE TRUTH YOU PERV!"

Well... last we checked Griff had fallen on top of a girl, and he might... MIGHT... have accidently, uh, touched her?

James was laughing at the corner with a couple of other adventurers sharing beer. The whole seen looked utterly hilarious. The girl, who was still wearing a hood, was chasing after Griff firing off charged mana balls all around as Griff cried for help, but all for naught.

James whistled.

"Damn boys the kid sure seems to be on the path to be a ladykiller?"

The adventurers laughed at James's sarcasm.

"OI OI I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY FUCKING MANHOOD AND YOUR MAKING FUN OF ME?!"

"... yeah?"

James's reply caused a more boisterous laughter to echo through the hall. The girl was now tearing up as she was getting utterly pissed, but just then one of the adventurers decided to step up and stop this shenanigan. He had just entered the guild and seeing this... scene play out, he was not amused t say the least.

Just as the girl had cornered Griff and raised her staff the figure of a man could be seen lifting her from her head and tossing her behind him.

"Can't a man calmly enter his guild you damn brats?"

The girls fell on a table and quite literally stared hallucinating stars.

"And now who the hell are you?"

The man was looking down on Griff as the poor boy could do nothing but shiver in his place.

"Oi the kids with me, new blood mate."

James decided to step in just in time saving Griff.

The man's expression softened and his darkened face lit up again. He had ginger hair with azure blue eyes. He seemed to be in his mid 20's. He had a spear strapped on his back.

He kneeled next to Griff and picked him up by the head and helped him stand on his feet.

"Ooooh? Really! It's been a while since new blood came here. What's your name kiddo?"

Griff looked a bit confused? Nope that would be an understatement. He was pretty baffled.

"Um, Griff?"

The man started patting his head.

"My name's Reiner. Nice to meetcha new kid."

Griff continued to stare with an empty look in his face.

A couple of people could be seen whispering as soon as they heard Reiner's name. It seems he was a bit of a celebrity here.

"Don't mind that little midget over there. She's just a tsundere."

The girl got up from where she was tossed and started flinging her staff.

"I'm not a tsundere you useless brother!"

Reiner laughed at that. It seemed like they were siblings. It was believable considering both had ginger red hair and azure blue eyes.

Griff decided to wake up from his daze just then.

"Excuse me but what the fuck just happened?"

Reiner and the entire guild laughed boisterously at that.

"I have no idea but it seems like you put my little sister in berserk mode. Ty not to do that next time. That's kinda why we're low on recruits here. She chases the poor bastards away."

At this the girl's face blushed as she started hitting Reiner's back with weak punches.

"Stupid big brother! It's not my fault all of them are perverts!"

"Well, you just send anyone who touches you flying its more like you got issues here sis."

Reiner proceeded to pole her head which enraged her. She started walking away pretty pissed and everyone retreated, opening her a path.

"So, why am I in this situation right now?"

Reiner just shrugged and picked up Griff with his hand and started walking to the registration desk.

"Dunno kid, you got some bad luck. But anyways just register here I'll talk to ya later. You seem fun."

Griff just absentmindedly decided to not reply and waited to be put down. He folded his arms in irritation. Why is he treated like a kid damn it. He's a young adult!

James seemed to be having fun talking to the adventurers here. That girl whose name he didn't get walked outside and Reiner was talking with some adventurers as well.

"Um sir?"

Griff turned back to look at the guild registration officer who called out to him. She seemed to be near his age as well.

"Ah yeah sorry I got a habit of spacing out randomly."

"Well I'd like to ask you to tell me your name, surname if you have one, your age, your preferred position in a party and weapons you are proficient with."

"My name's Griff. I... don't remember my surname to be honest. I'm about 19 I guess. Also for a party...hmm... I think I'm okay with any position. I can use a spear, dagger, and also a sword. I'm best with a sword."

The girl nodded as she scribbled his information down real fast.

Just then Griff remembered the small envelope that Humbert had given to him and took it out.

"Miss, I also have a recommendation letter from a former adventurer."

He handed the envelope to the registration officer who opened it and started reading the contents. Her face turned serious as she gestured Griff to come closer.

"I'll take this to the guild master. I knew Humbert. I'm sorry for your loss. I'll call you in a couple of minutes."

The girl hurried off towards the stairs behind the office and went upstairs. Griff waited for about a few minutes till the girl descended the stairs again.

"Griff, right? The guild master is waiting for you. I'll prepare your guild card in the meantime. He said he'd debrief you on the ranks and classes himself. And also..."

She approached him and whispered in his ear.

"Whatever you talk inside that room should stay there. You'll see why."
