Chapter 29: Shocking Orario
"An Elf? Are you sure that your parents didn't just sharpen your ears to a point when you were a child and told you to always shave your beard because your parents told you were an Elf growing up?" I couldn't help but say as I looked him up and down.
As while I was in Ash I was 6'2" where as the Guildmaster seemed to be less than 5ft tall as Loki, Who was also somewhat short, was still taller than this guy.
Everyone was having a really hard time holding back their laughter while the old elf was grinding his teeth in anger as his eyes twitched more and more.
"Alright, alright I'll stop, after all I don't know if you got a Short temper." I said as many people, especially the guild staff were really trying to hold back their laughter.
"…. Do you think this is funny boy? This is a serious conversation I'm trying to have hear!" He shouted out at me making me raise my hands.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, a serious conversation? Your well…." I hold my hand a few inches above his head.
"A bit to short for me to take seriously for an Elf, though if you called yourself a Dwarf or a slightly taller than average Pallum then I'd definitely take you seriously!" I say before several adventurers could hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.
This ended up causing the damn to break as everyone in the entire guild began to laugh at the old man's plight, he on the other hand became red faced in fury being so viciously mocked like this.
"Whoa! Deep breaths old man! I don't want you to keel over from a heart attack on me! It was just a joke! A mostly harmless joke! I didn't know that these jokes of mine would just go over your head!" I said as even more people were falling over laughing.
I knew the jokes weren't the greatest and were bordering on 'dad joke' territory, but everyone besides the Guildmaster seemed to find my jokes funny, although I think it's more so to the fact that who I was making fun of was the Guildmaster and not that many people seemed to like the guy from what I could tell.
He took in a deep breath and inhaled before letting a slow breath back out before fixing his hair, "He's but a Child Royman, don't stoop to his level and snap at him." He muttered to himself before looking at me seriously.
I was tempted to make another short joke, but I held my tongue, "Alright Guildmaster, what can I, Hayden Tenno, do for you?" I say before giving the old man a rather theatrical bow.
He then a fixed his tie as he looked at me, "Hayden Tenno, you yourself claim to have reached level 2 with only becoming an Adventurer only a little over two weeks ago, and while the status sheet you showed appears to be real, it's also not impossible for your goddess to tamper it to make it appear real." He said which caused people to begin to murmur and whisper to one another.
But if he could see my face I would be Smiling, except the smile isn't reaching my eyes, "You know…. What you just said is probably the most offensive thing you could ever say to someone, just because my goddess is Loki, that must mean that she did something to my stats sheet, after all she is known for her trickery, that's on the level of saying all elves are tree huggers and are masters at magic and archery, all dwarves are brutish drunks who live only in caves and love forging things, all Demihumans are just beasts who can walk and talk like the rest of us, so obviously because she is a goddess of trickery and mischief she must have done what you believe she has done." I said suddenly putting him on the spot.
They were actually all looking at him with glares because turns out, he is a well known racist sho thinks less of anyone that isn't a pure blooded elf along with respecting only the gods but it seems he only respects some gods if he was accusing Loki of fabricating my current stats sheet.
He actually began stuttering and sweating as he realized what he just said out loud and being stared at by so many adventurers along with publicly denouncing god of their credibility got plenty of the adventurers here angry with him.
But I quickly went and wrapped my arm around his shoulders, "Alright guys, I don't think he actually meant that when he said those things, after all this man must have a lot of things on his plate, a slip of the tongue can happen in situations like this and if my goddess wasn't currently busy she would have definitely come here and everything would be seen as true to the situation I am in, their must be a way to prove my innocence." I say to him and everyone watching this spectacle.
I then hit my palm against my forehead, "Oh I know! The guild has a god as their leader right? Why don't we go to him so I can prove my innocence?" I suggested to him.
"What?! No! Not going to happen! Do you think that I will go and annoy the Great God Ouranos just to see if your telling the truth or not?!" Royman pushed me off as she slammed his foot onto the floor over and over in anger.
"Then how do you…. Well would you look at that…." I begin to say before suddenly what appeared to be a mirror appeared above all of us as a majestic feeling of godly power seeped out of it and into the main lobby of the guild.
Soon enough Royman, Walter, and many of the staff knelt to the floor, "We greet our Great God Ouranos." They all said together.
"Rise…. I heard my name called upon, Royman, explain what is going on." Ouranos said while everyone looked on in surprise as this was the first time they ever saw Ouranos themselves as he is always busy doing something.
So Royman began to explain the situation as Ouranos closed his eyes and nodded after hears g everything needed to be said, "I see…. Hayden Tenno, have you really levels up to level two in only a little over two weeks of becoming an adventurer?" Ouranos said making everyone focus on me.
And to that I crossed my arms while looking straight at him as his mirror hovered above us all, "That's right, I achieved Level two in only a few weeks of becoming an Adventurer." I say not lying at all.
He stared at me for a moment before his stoic slightly shifted as a slight smirk appeared on his lips, "Loki is really lucky to have a child like you." He said before his face returned to his stoic look, "Royman, complete the documents on his new status, Orario has a new level two adventurer."
"What?!"
"Is this for real?!"
"He became level two in only two weeks?!"
Many people said in shock as they all looked at me, and this news would soon spread like wildfire.
Hayden Tenno, in only a bit over two weeks became a level two adventurer breaking the newly made record by the young prodigy of the Hera Familia.
And this information would send shockwaves all across Orario, but there was only one thought on my mind.
'It's about time I began leveling up Ash, so that means….'
"Time for another Dungeon Dive!"
