Furrowing her brows, Melody's cold eyes stared at Presto and her icy voice sounded.
"I don't need your money. You're so arrogant, I don't like you."
Her words were short, but it directly conveys her meaning.
Her words made Presto's eyes turn cold.
Arrogantly, he looked at her from head to toe then said, "You're just a small low-level adventurer. How dare you act like that in front of me!"
Presto raised his hand and casted a skill, "Wind Blade!"
Suddenly, fierce wind in the shape of a blade appeared above his hand, ready to cut anything Presto points it to.
Without hesitation, Presto threw it at Melody.
The fierce wind blade flew forward and rushed towards Melody.
Seeing this, a hint of fear appeared on her face.
Standing beside her, Kyson can also feel the wind moving in his direction.
Narrowing his eyes, Kyson's mind moved.
Suddenly, the fierce wind blade made a sudden stop in the air.
The sharpness of the wind blade flashed from time to time, causing a shallow trace of cuts on the wood inside the shop.
Despite that, it remained there, unmoving.
The air went still for a moment.
"What's happening?!"
Presto's voice mixed with disbelief and shock suddenly sounded, breaking the atmosphere.
He can't understand how such a thing can happen.
Clearly, it was a magic attack that used his mana and was thrown by him himself. But it suddenly went still in the mid-air?!
Presto can't wrap his head around what's going on.
But he didn't get the chance to think for long.
Before his question can even be answered, a loud, angry voice sounded on his side, followed by heavy force impacting his body.
"PRESTOOO!!"
Bang!
Boom!
Presto flew back and hit the wall and fell to the ground, causing air to escape from his lungs.
Before he could even think about what just happened, rushed footsteps approached him.
Then a big foot stepped on him again and again, raining down with great force.
"You, f*cking m*ron! Do you really think that I'm a vegetation? You think I wouldn't dare to really hit you?"
"You really dared to attack someone in my shop, right in front of me?!"
Master Virgo continued stepping on Presto until he got tired.
With his face red from exhaustion, Master Virgo put down his foot and stared at Presto on the ground with infuriation.
"Presto, remember this. Just because things have changed for now, doesn't mean I will just let your arrogance flow right in front of me!"
"Damn it!"
Presto spat out a mouthful of blood as he slowly got up from the ground.
His sinister eyes were focused on Master Virgo, looking evilly.
"You will regret attacking me, Virgo…"
"I will make sure that you will have no place here in Vitri Town. I swear that I will make your life even worse than a sewer rat!"
Presto's face contorted in anger as words came out of his mouth.
After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes next to Melody.
"And you… don't think that just because you don't live in this town means that you're safe."
As he said that, he glanced at Kyson before turning his eyes back to Master Virgo, then he turned around and walked out of the shop.
Cling~ Cling~
With Presto gone, silence ensued inside the shop.
The wind blade in the air before has already dispersed at this time.
Master Virgo turned around and walked back behind the counter.
At this time, his face already looked depressed, devoid of every emotion that he had just shown.
He stopped in front of Kyson and Melody and sighed, "You two, I'm sorry about what just happened."
"Especially you, girl. I didn't expect that beast to just suddenly attack someone like that."
Master Virgo shook his head with a mix of hatred and sadness.
Although still pale from fright, Melody said, "No, Master Virgo. It's not your fault that he's like that. It is his own fault."
Master Virgo just shook his head and didn't say anything.
Then he turned his eyes to Kyson.
With appreciation and gratitude in his eyes, he said, "And you, boy. I really gotta thank you for earlier."
"If it wasn't because of you, this young lady here might have been hurt because of that wind blade."
"Fortunately, you acted in a timely manner and stopped it."
When talking about these, a smile can't help but appear on his old face.
Hearing that, Melody snapped her head to the side, and looked at Kyson as realization dawned to her.
"Ah, that's… thank you so much!"
"It's nothing. Not a big deal. It's great that no one got hurt."
Kyson waved his hand dismissively, not really taking the situation from earlier seriously.
Then Kyson looked at Master Virgo curiously and asked, "How did you know that it was me, Master Virgo?"
The reason why Kyson was curious is because earlier, he or Roast didn't use any mana to stop the wind blade.
Instead, they only used Roast's talent [Friend of the Wind].
The word "Friend" on the talent's name is not just for show. With this talent, the wind truly treats Roast as a friend.
So, what they did is that Kyson ordered Roast to ask the wind element on the wind blade to stop moving.
And the scene from earlier happened.
So, from a stranger's standpoint, there shouldn't be any signs that it was Kyson who took action.
Not that he has intentions to hide it, but this made him curious how he got discovered by Master Virgo.
Master Virgo smiled, "Kid, don't underestimate me just because I'm old."
"In reality, it is because I'm old that's why I can conclude that it was you. It was all from my experience."
"As for how I came to a conclusion…"
Master Virgo told Kyson how he discovered him.
After hearing his explanation, Kyson nodded in understanding.
Basically, Master Virgo just analyzed everyone's reaction and behavior.
In that situation, and even after it, it was only Kyson who didn't react in any way.
Without any shock or surprise showing on his face as everything moves forward.
In short, it was his calmness that revealed it.
