Chapter 71: No Loss This Time
The atmosphere fell silent, and the eyes of many in the pub went dull.
That was a Level 5 from Loki Familia, right?
Was that the infamous unruly Bete?
He was actually pinned to the ground by a single blow?
Unbelievable questions arose in everyone's hearts, and they watched the scene in awe.
Feeling the pain coming from his chest, Bete's face slightly changed. It was a mixture of shame and anger for being knocked down in front of everyone.
"You actually managed to get this far. Seems I underestimated you, kid."
There was a gloomy voice that contained an extraordinary ferocity.
Bete, pinned inside the hole, was staring at Shun with his pair of brown eyes, his tone filled with murderous intent.
"I really underestimated you!"
"Go to hell now, you bastard—!"
His voice almost turned into a roar, and the hole beneath Bete's body collapsed again. With a loud sound that was almost like a roar, he twisted and stood up, and his pale white hair turned silver under the night sky, and then what followed was a punch that could shatter anything.
From top to bottom, his arm coiled inward, and a spiral wind blew, hitting Shun's face with extraordinary fury, clearly wanting to avenge the previous grudge of being pinned to the ground.
Bete's eyes became even more ferocious, and the fist that turned into a trajectory of fiery rage hit his face with astonishing speed.
Facing such an attack, Shun immediately raised his arm, swinging it to the side of his right eye, like the tip of a needle on a wheat tent, hitting Bete's fist.
*BAM*
First, the air throughout the place fell silent, and then a loud buzzing sound echoed as the two fists collided.
The place that was originally damaged by the chaos began to crack like a spiderweb in all directions starting from the hole where the two were, almost spreading throughout the pub.
Tables, chairs, and benches were broken and flew, floor tiles and dust flew, causing everyone present to close their eyes.
As the strong wind blew through the dark clouds in the sky, the broken tables, chairs, benches, and smoke scattered inside the hole, there was still a tall and clear young man figure, and Bete, who was fighting with all his might, fell again at this moment.
Two confrontations, two collisions, undoubtedly Bete lost.
The winner stood and the loser lay down.
Shun was indifferent to the loser beneath him, not hiding his disgust.
"You're nothing more than that... Since you don't have any ability, please speak politely in the future and be careful not to get beaten up!"
"You!!!"
Such insults almost made Bete, who was going crazy, furious. His eyes turned red, and his body began to experience magical fluctuations.
"Enough!" Loki stood up and shouted angrily.
"Bete, you are being so rude." Riveria said with a serious face.
"You look so ugly like this, Bete." Tiona pursed her lips and said.
His main god and teammates restrained him. Bete reluctantly gritted his teeth and left, then slowly climbed out of the hole.
However, his sharp gaze was still fixed on Shun's body, never disappearing for a long time, as if wanting to remember him.
Let this matter end here.
Finn, the captain of Loki Familia, stood up, followed by a heavily armored Dwarf.
"This matter is Bete's fault, but he has already been taught a lesson, so let's just let it go."
"I actually don't mind that."
After all, Shun was so happy that he didn't mind, and he observed the highest combat power of the two Orarios in front of him with great interest.
Finn is the captain of the entire Loki Familia. He has a very good mind, responsible for leading the entire team, and is highly relied upon by the team members. He has a youthful appearance, which is also influenced by "kindness", but his age doesn't seem to match his appearance. A man with the strength and brains to unite a large faction.
Finn is a powerful Level 6 with strong strength and intellect. He is also the most likely candidate among the trio mentioned by Ottar in the original novel who has touched Level 7.
Although Gareth is always insignificant beside Finn, he is also a powerful Level 6 fighter. In terms of strength and endurance, there is almost no one in the entire Level 6 who can break through him, including the executives of Loki Familia. He has the character of an elder, always caring for the younger generation, and has a kind personality.
Shun didn't know if he could defeat Gareth with his martial arts without considering Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Element.
Finn also looked at the man in front of him.
To be honest, with the other party's rather exquisite clothes, overly handsome appearance, fair skin, and calloused hands, no matter how he looked at it, Shun looked like a nobleman or scholar from an outside kingdom.
But this soft-looking and harmless young man had the strength and martial arts skills to defeat Bete just now.
The most confusing thing is that the other party's appearance and strength have no reputation in Orario.
"Are you from outside?"
"I just arrived tonight, and I feel the warmth of Orario's hospitality."
Shun's teasing made Bete's eyes twitch on one side. On the other hand, the Amazoness sisters who didn't like Bete very much couldn't help but laugh.
They were quite happy to see a arrogant man like Bete looking for trouble and getting beaten up.
Finn nodded. He thought Shun was similar to the Amazoness in his own group.
However, Tiona and Tione couldn't stand the cruel environment and defected.
"I think we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Finn silently noted the other party's face, planning to find out his origin privately, and then carefully consider whether he could bring him to his side.
He led the team away with a normal expression.
Tione and Tione smiled secretly at him. Behind them, the expressionless blond ice mountain girl said nothing, her clear eyes blinked, Revia couldn't help but look at him a few times.
The orange-haired elf girl among them also held a magic staff and silently looked at him. Then she was startled by Loki's silent attack, and quickly ran to Aiz's side.
With the departure of Loki Familia, the entire pub became very empty, and Shun, who was almost finished eating, unconsciously wanted to leave, but then his shoulder was held by the pub manager, Mama Mia.
"Hey, you haven't paid for the food and pub maintenance!"
The large-bodied Mama Mia stared at him with a gloomy and frightening face.
"Don't you want to give me money?"
"Um, have you seen enough of this?"
Shun suddenly took out a gold bar with a firm expression on his face. He was just thinking about hitting someone, but he accidentally made a big hole in the pub.
"What is this?" Mama Mia frowned.
"Gold bar!"
Shun, who paid for it, seemed to be no short of money. Seeing this, Syr beside him reminded him in a low voice:
"Sir, Orario only accepts valis."
"Eh?"
Shun blinked and said innocently:
"But I just arrived in Orario today and don't have any valis."
"Then, would you like to borrow it from your Familia members first? Sir, you are so strong, you should be able to pay it back soon, right?"
There seemed to be some kind of change in Syr's eyes, as if she could see through his soul, and she deliberately talked about Familia members.
"But I haven't joined any Familia yet."
As soon as Shun's words came out, the already quiet and empty pub became silent.
Ryuu, Syr, Anya, and Chloe, the female employees, all looked at him.
Under the incredulous gaze, Shun said seriously:
"I came to Orario because I heard that joining a Familia can increase strength. I want to find a Familia to join. I just arrived here today and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
Shun seemed innocent.
However, almost all the audience couldn't sit still.
"How is that possible, meow!" The first person to speak was Anya Fromel. She is the sibling of Allen Fromel, the vice-leader of Freya Familia, and a Level 4 adventurer.
"Without Falna, how could it be possible to defeat the adventurer?" Chloe, the black-eared cat girl who has been paying attention to the boy's butt all this time, couldn't believe it either.
The female pub waitresses started talking in pairs. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't believe this fact.
"Ryuu…what do you think?" Syr asked the Elf girl beside her.
Ryuu's emerald green eyes looked at the young man in front of her and said calmly:
"Long before the gods came to this world. There were humans in this world who could rival monsters. Even if they didn't receive Falna, they still had the strength to rival strong adventurers."
"At that time, humans used their own hard work and martial arts to achieve many impossible feats and create heroic legends."
Her voice interrupted the conversation, and everyone's eyes focused on this innocent-looking young man.
"In other words, this man is a heroic being, isn't he?"
At this time, Syr could hardly hide her burning gaze. The girls in the pub looked at Shun as if they were evaluating a rare treasure.
In response, Shun blinked and asked seriously:
"So, can you lend me some money?"

Half an hour later, Shun, who was washing dishes with Ryuu in the kitchen, got his answer.
Of course, luckily he has a place to sleep tonight.
"Food and accommodation are included, so no loss!"
