Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

After leaving that district, Acht returned to the same place where he should meet Leislet. It has been almost an hour and a half since he left this place and the ceremony was about to start.

"Took you so long," Leislet said as she walked up to him with a pouting face.

"The auction took longer than I expected. Anyway, let\'s go." He said as he started walking to the arena.

He didn\'t tell her about Lein or the Nightingale since he didn\'t have proof that she was a Nightingale member to make Leislet believe him. Also, he knew that even if he told her, there is nothing she could do. Lein and the other members of Nightingale were true monsters. They can get themselves out of the most dangerous of situations as if it was a walk in the park.

\'Let\'s keep this a secret for now. I\'m pretty sure Lein and the others will appear later on anyway.\' He noted in his head.

"You are so cold, Achty~" Said Leislet with a cute pout as she followed him.

"Never call me that again," Acht responded as he rolled his eyes.

"Achty~ Achty~"

"I said stop." He glared at her with a cold look that might freeze someone in fear. However, the reaction he got from her was a hearty laugh.

"Yaaa, Achty is so scaryyyy~" She said between her giggles.

Seeing her like that, Acht decided to flip the table on her. He closed the distance between them before doing something she couldn\'t expect at all.

*Ptaaa*

"Kyaaa~"

A crispy slapping sound echoed in the street. Acht had smacked one of her big butt cheeks strongly. He could see how her ass jiggled in response like jelly.

"That\'s your punishment." He said as he continued walking casually as if nothing happened. Luckily, Acht made sure no one saw that so that he doesn\'t embarrass Leislet even more.

"Y-You…you perverted little bastard!" She shouted at him. But, the only thing she got from him was a small chuckle of disdain.

Leislet looked at him as she touched her ass with an embarrassed look. Her face was flushed like a tomato and her eyes were now moist. But, rather than being shy, she looked…aroused.

She bit her lip slightly before returning to her usual self and continued walking.

The two finally reached the arena. The place was massive enough to make it impossible for Acht to see both ends if he looked left or right.

Even its height was impressive, nearing 700 meters tall.

The place was obviously filled up with all kinds of people, awakeners, and unawakeners. They all had come to see what kind of amazing ceremony was prepared for this year.

The two then walked inside and showed their Royalty Pass Card to the guard who immediately bowed down respectfully and guided them to a special lounge prepared for them to watch the show comfortably far from the crowded seats of the stands that were made for commoners.

"This is indeed impressive," Acht said while looking around the lounge. It was indeed like a hotel room but with a huge wall at the far back made out of only glass and overlooks the stadium from above.

There were all kinds of beverages too inside a huge fridge and even a small pool to sit in.

"Hehehe, this is nothing. The ceremony will blow your mind." Leislet said as she grabbed a bottle of wine and filled up two cups.

"You know I can\'t drink alcohol, right?" He said to her as she presented the cup to him.

"No one is watching so try it. This wine can be given to children too since it doesn\'t have any alcohol in it." She said as she basically forces the cup into his hand.

Acht wasn\'t really keen on alcohol even in his previous life since it made him vulnerable which is something he didn\'t like. The only times he drinks it are during missions or when dealing with customers.

"Hmm, this is not bad."

The taste of this wine was way better than the one in his previous life. It had more of a rich taste with less bitterness in it. He even felt slightly rejuvenated after drinking from the cup.

"See, it\'s really good. Now, come on. Sit down, the show is about to start." Leislet tapped the seat beside her.

Then, the moment he sat down, strong light suddenly attacked his eyes. He squinted slightly and then looked up.

There, in the middle of the sky, a massive crystal the size of 5 trucks combined was floating silently. It was the source of the strong light that blinded Acht for a moment.

It had a huge amount of soul energy inside of it, moving in order. This thing was very advanced technologically and even when it comes to soul force.

Then, the light suddenly concentrated on the field directly under it. After that, a voice suddenly started speaking in a dramatic tone.

[It all started hundreds of years ago.]

His words erupted loud cheers from the stands. They all were beyond excited as they anticipated what would happen. Acht was also interested in the show so he unconsciously bent forward to watch even more closure.

[After the end of the descension war, people lived in hell and poverty. Kingdoms struggled to fix the destruction that took over their lands and the countless deaths that plagued their people. It was the toughest time humanity had ever seen after the war itself.]

As the man spoke, a holographic image of war appeared on the field. It had the image of humans attacking some kind of creatures that Acht couldn\'t discern. They seemed to be invaders from Ecrasia. None of them were humans as they looked like demons, elves, and even giants that he saw in myths and legends.

Then, the image changed to a weird poor alley in some kind of slum district. The image showed two people searching around trash bins searching for any food.

[That is until one person appeared. A person that shaped the new era that we are living in now.]
