Volume 1 Chapter 25-2 The Exiled Healer and the Foolish Hero [Vulcan III]
The kind friends, and the Guildmaster who took me in...
...For them, Luna was about to give up, that's when.
"Not yet. It's too early to give up."
From the second floor, the Guildmaster, Act, descended.
"Act! Guildmaster!"
Act weaved through the Guild Members and came to Vulcan.
"Let go of that."
"Whoa...! Guildmaster's got style! You're not talking back to a Hero, you old fool!"
"You're the Hero? Not just some punk?"
Twitch...!
Vulcan's veins bulged on his forehead.
"...Capital punishment. Not only did you defy the Hero, but you insulted me, you scoundrel!"
He shoved Luna aside and lunged at Act with his sword.
"Guildmaster!"
Rosalia tried to cover, but Act commanded, "Don't interfere."
"THAT SMUG LOOK MAKES ME SICK! DIE!"
But Act dodged the Hero's sword strike by twisting his body.
"What!?"
"What's wrong? Was that an attack?"
"Ugh! This..."
The Hero unleashed a flurry of attacks, but Act avoided them all.
He kicked Vulcan's legs out from under him, and he fell.
"Hero's attacks are nothing to the Guildmaster! As expected!"
Act looked down at the fallen Hero and said,
"Is this all you've got, Hero? Your level has dropped."
"YOU'RE KIDDING ME! YOU PUNK!"
Vulcan tried to activate a powerful move, raising his Skill.
But Act calmly approached, twisted his arm, and disarmed him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"Skills are meaningless if they don't get activated. You're wide open."
Act took the sword.
Vulcan tried to escape, but Act put the sword to his throat.
"Gah...! What the... what's going on... just a Guildmaster, but why are you so strong!"
"No, it's just that you're weak."
"Ugh...!"
He could attack here, but his weapon was stolen and they were outnumbered.
"HEY, I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS! I'M A HERO! DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON ME! YOU'RE GOING AGAINST THE WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY!"
"Hmm. Which country's Hero are you, exactly?"
When the Hero announced his country, Act calmly took out a Communication Magic Item.
"Yeah, it's me. Your Hero's causing a ruckus... yeah, got it."
Act tossed the communication device to Vulcan.
"The King wants to have a word with you."
"With me...?"
Vulcan took the magic item and spoke to the King.
'YOU IDIOT!'
The King's roar echoed.
'YOU! HOW DARE YOU LAY A HAND ON ACT AGE!? ARE YOU TRYING TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY!?'
"Whoa, that's a bit much... it's just a Guildmaster."
'YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ACT AGE...! YOU FOOL! THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT! YOU'RE FIRED!'
"Wh-What!? No way! Wait a minute! King! Hey! Oh no!"
But the communication was cut off.
"What's wrong? Why the long face?"
Vulcan looked at the man in front of him.
He couldn't believe this guy was someone the King would be scared of.
"Are you sure you should be slacking off here?"
Vulcan realized how serious this was.
He was about to get the boot as a Hero.
The King's dismissal was definitely a mistake.
"DAMN IT! YOU'LL REGRET THIS!"
Vulcan glared at Luna.
"I'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK TODAY, BUT I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU, NO DOUBT!"
But Act embraced Luna and said,
"Luna ain't yours, pal. You've got other fish to fry, right? Stop relying on others and get better, you amateur."
Insulted and red-faced with rage, Vulcan stormed off.
"Guildmaster... thank you."
Luna shed tears in Act's arms.
"Don't get the wrong idea. Protecting Guild Members is just part of my job. No need to thank me."
"As expected of the Guildmaster!"
"He's the best boss ever for protecting his people!"
The Guild Members cast a respectful gaze at the act of protecting their comrade from the Hero.
