Guild Master's Point of View -

"Power of the Wind Spirit - Wind Control!"

Using the power of Yuri, a wind spirit, I activate one of my spells - Wind Control. Using this spell, I'll be deeply connected to the wind that Yuri controls. Not only can I see things from the wind's perspective, but I can also talk and hear from it. With this power, I can observe anything from a distance and send messages or listen to conversations secretly. Sadly, this spell drains the intellect of the spirit at high rates. Lucky for me, Yuri is a high spirit, so that she can keep the spell active for at least two hours.

I don't expect that this farce will take much time, so we have plenty of time to keep the spell activated. Anyway, using the spell and Yuri's help, I start to connect with Yuri's wind, changing my body to a transparent blob flying with the leaves. Yuri already had her winds activated and is keeping them near the forest so that the guard, Hina, can keep in touch with me. After fully converting with the wind, I fly with it towards Hina. Once blowing over her, causing her hair to flail slightly, I whisper to her.

"Hina, a brat with half black and white hair along with black and white eyes, might appear. If he does, let him through. In short, he has been causing the guild some trouble and going to attempt to prove his innocence, but it's going to end up in failure. Try to keep him alive too. If you see him in a fatal position, get him out of there and report back to me. This'll say that he failed the quest. Thank you."

Understanding what I said, Hina nods her head. Taking that as her answer, the wind takes me away from her and towards the open plains.

Alright, let's wait for him to show up. If we don't see him, I guess that means he tried to run away. I should tell the guards and adventurers before...

(Yuri) Sir, it appears that he is already here.

Huh?! What do you mean! That's impossible...

Although it's unlogical, as Yuri says, the little brat is already here near the forest. He's currently walking on the path towards the gate where Hana is. How in the world did he get here, though?

Err... Let's think about how he got here for later. There's still a 0% chance that he can complete this quest. Let's watch him fail!

(Yuri) Yes, Sir...

As instructed, Yuri changes the wind's direction and flies above the boy. The boy then walks up to the entrance and meets with Hana. We stayed above, so we are unable to hear them. At first glance, it seems that Hana was confused but returns to her normal state. I bet she was confused about how the boy out here so soon too... Nevertheless, after a minute or so, Hana lets him through, and he enters the forest.

Due to the trees being extremely thick and dark, Yuri moves the wind closer to the boy but not close enough to hear him. Unfortunately, we had to stay away from him so that the wind doesn't get inflicted on him or change the battle results. Plus, some monsters have the ability to see and find us even in this form. They can also attack us, which wouldn't be the best idea. Anyway, we continued, watching from a slight distance.

After some time, the boy starts running instead of walking and charges deeper into the forest. In mere moments, fifty orcs pop out from the shadow and charge at the boy.

Forgetting about the number, Orcs are A-rank monsters that can easily break buildings with their strength. Due to their devastating strength, they are classified as A-rank and require a group of A-rank adventurers to fight. An S-rank adventurer, like Hana, can easily fight one of them. That said, a group of fifty of them is a different story. You would need a party of S-rank adventurers. An SS-rank adventurer could defeat this number of monsters alone; however, it would still take time before the orcs are killed. Also, a spell from one of them could easily defeat them all; however, it would take a long duration before the spell gets released, so it's improbable since orcs have good senses. I mean, they noticed the boy instantly as he approached.

Anyway, these orcs should be enough to scare the brat away or kill him. I wonder which one it'll be...

(Yuri) Sir, I'm detecting something strange from the boy... It's wind magic!

Huh? So the boy has some talent with magic, but what can he possibly...

Breaking my thought, a sharp sword-like piece of wind forms in front of the boy and slashes horizontally towards all of the orcs. The razer sharp wind slices through the heads of all of the orcs instantly and even reaches out past the trees, slicing them all off. Although I'm in the air, I can see the leaves and some trees slowly shake, meaning the ground is shaking too. After a kilometer, the blade-like wind weakens and stops in front of some trees, not cutting them fully. The trees that the wind did cut simultaneously slam onto the ground, creating a small shockwave.

My eyes have widened after seeing such destructive power. Unable to speak, Yuri speaks her thoughts as I watch the boy collect all of the bodies and store them inside some black hole.

(Yuri) Amazing... That had to be wind slash, which requires level five wind-type magic! Guessing how close the wind was to a blade, it had to be at a high level! I had no idea that the boy had this type of talent.

Snapping out of my delusions, I speak to Yui, still confused about what just happened.

That's i-impossible... Did you not say that the boy had almost no power!?

(Yuri) You're right; I didn't detect anything from the boy. I don't know, but he might possess power beyond my skill.

Impossible! You are a high spirit! If he's beyond your powers, then he has enough power as an S-rank or higher monster!

(Yuri) Well, after seeing his power, he might be... Thinking about it, that would explain how he completed the monster-type quests at such high speeds. He also somehow magically appear near the forest within minutes of accepting the quest. That means he has some other power that can transport him almost instantly anywhere, which would explain how he got to Yula forest and out of it faster than normal. Maybe he did tell the truth...

Huh?! Where did all your confidence go! You, too, were mocking him along with me. Now I feel betrayed, honoring him with what he wants!

(Yuri) I can't help it... Seeing such beautiful wind magic, I feel more compelled to believe him. I remember what I said; however, just seeing this magic is enough for me to tell that he told the truth. We should contact him before...

What?! Hell no! I'll admit that he has SOME power, but I won't believe that he did all of those quests within an hour without more proof! He could be using a type of illusionary magic or fooling us somehow. I w-won't accept anything else without more proof!

Yuri sighs. Although seeing his power against those orcs does show that he has some power, it's still not enough. There has to be some trick. Surely, no human being can have enough EXP to get all of those skills, but somehow he has them. No! There's some hidden factor that's allowing him to do all of this. Maybe he knows a secret path to get to the Dangle forest promptly or... Ugh! Why! Why did this boy come here!

I continue to question the boy in my mind; however, Yuri speaks, which reinsures me.

(Yuri) Don't freak out, Sir... He does have some power, but I think he can't complete this quest. If he didn't make you sign that contract, I would have wanted you to believe him, but with that contract, he has to finish the quest, or he'll fail, no matter if he told the truth or not. Magic isn't infinite... Sooner or later, he'll use up all of his mana and have to retreat. I mean, there are thousands of monsters in this forest at the same level and more than those orcs.

Yeah, your right! There's no way he'll be able to defeat all of those monsters with that much power! Haha, he'll fail the quest in no time!

I let out a sigh of relief. Fully recovered, I watch the boy move on with a smile on my face. Even with the amount of power he does have, we still win, and he'll have to pay us the money. This is no longer about whether he's telling the truth or not... It's about the money we can get off of him...

Sadly, my expectations were slowly getting weaker as I watch the boy continue to fight hordes of monsters, killing them all with one Wind Slash. No matter how many monsters there are, his single wind slash slaughters the heads of all of them. In mere seconds too! Each group he encounters has more monsters than the last, but he continues to defeat them without breaking a sweat! It's not just orcs either. He's fighting hordes of different types of A-rank monsters! How powerful is this brat!?

Then, as we continue to observe him, he does something unbelievable thing. He starts flying in the air. He soars high in the sky to nothing that can reach him. Actually, he is closer to us so that we can hear him slightly. He begins grinning at this point. From our perspective, all we see is half of him. With his black hair and eyes only showing, he looks like a demon lord deviously smiling with eyes of power. Then, just like a demon, he starts laughing as he looks down at his current prey, Blood Bears.

An enormous group of 200 blood bears is staring up at the demon. Some climbing the trees to try and reach him; however, he doges them all as if it was nothing. He then starts shouting out the names of some skills...

"Perfect Wall! Damage Barrier! Water Barrier!"

At that moment, a large wall made of some mysterious material covers the entire forest, blocking all of the exits so that nothing can leave. With it being 30 meters high, monsters won't be able to climb over it. Also, the other skills he activated increase the durability of the wall, making it harder to break, maybe unbreakable. I don't know why he added a water barrier, but everything starts making sense after hearing his next words.

The boy starts to shout two more skills with an evil laugh.

"Flood! Lighting Storm!"

In seconds, gallons and gallons of water start filling the entire forest. After the water reaches 29 meters in the air, dark clouds start to appear, creating a lighting party. Thousands of lighting bolts strike onto the water's surface, which I assume electrifies the entire body of water. Any smart enough monster to climb on the trees instantly gets knocked off by a random lightning bolt. In mere minutes, almost all of the monsters are killed by this little brat. After draining the water, the ground is covered with the bodies of the dead monsters. Only a few of them are left - all of them being SSS-rank monsters.

Monsters with incredible power... We classify those monsters as SSS-rank. A large group of SS-rank adventurers is needed to beat them. A member of the TEN could also fight them on solo; however, they leave any monster that isn't in the EX rank alone. There isn't an SSS rank for adventurers. Well, you could say the TEN fit that bill - though they have more power that can even defeat stronger monsters.

Some of the SS-rank adventures might have a better chance of fighting one, but it would still be a hard fight. That said, there isn't only one SSS-rank monster... There are eight of them! Three of them are Fenrirs, while the other five are Tree Giants. The stomps from the giants start to shake the ground with lots of force. At this moment, they are all going to the boy and seem very angry.

Then, suddenly appear from the sky, a pitch-black dragon appears who is also angry.

"Roar!!!!"

The dragon screams at the boy while the other monsters begin to make their move and screams while attacking. The boy continued to look, smirk, and laughs. He's truly a demon. With his black eye glistening with his hair, I can't see anything other than a demon...

Yep... A true demon...

...

Hana's Point of View -

"Aha?!"

Suddenly, as I watched at the gate, a large wall made of some random material appears in front of me. Confused, I look around and prepare myself; however, nothing happens. I look left and right to see that the wall extends for kilometers in both directions. Looking closer at the wall, I can see magic is coming off of it, meaning that it's also protected against magic.

As I stare confusingly at the wall, I start feeling something on my legs. I look down to see that water is quickly building up from the ground. In seconds, the water is already higher than me in height. Luckily, I know how to swim, so I swiftly swim to the water's surface. Once the water stops growing and I reach the top of it, I can see over the wall and see that dark clouds were above me. Having a bad feeling, I activate a spell.

"Nullify All Damage - Barrier!"

Thankfully, I managed to cast the barrier in time before it started... Thousand of lighting bolts slam onto the water's surface, electrifying everywhere in the water. Without my barrier, I would most definitely be fried to death. More confused, I activate another spell to get out of the water before my barrier breaks.

"Blink!"

Although it's not very high, I have a small teleportation skill that allows me to teleport a meter or two away from me. In this case, it allows me to teleport from the water to the top of the wall's surface. Once safely planted on the ground, I start to activate the next skill to search the forest.

"Observe my target - Hawk Eyes!"

My ability to see suddenly grows after activating the skill. With it, I can see through the trees and get a better understanding of what's happening. That's when I see the boy from earlier floating in the air, laughing like a lunatic. That said, from my perspective, I can only see his white hair and eyes, making him look more like an angel or a God. It's self-evident that he caused the wall, the water, and lightning. A few moments later, the entire water drains with the lightning storm coming to a stop. After the water fully drains, the dead bodies of monsters start filling my eyes. It seems he cast that skill to kill off all of the monsters. Amazing...

He must be an angel sent by God! No, he has to be a God himself! There is no way a normal human can be that powerful... I have to apologize for my former actions... Wait, maybe he was giving me divine punishment by putting me inside the walls with the monsters. Shit! I must have pissed him off! Darn... I guess I'm a dead girl...

While nervously thinking, I start feeling the entire ground shake. Athough the height I'm at makes it weaker, I can see the powerful shockwaves by looking at the trees shake crazily with every step the giants make. Also, three large wolves fly across the ground and make their way below the God... Although those are SSS-rank monsters, I feel bad for them... They are about to get eliminated by this God instantly...

Then, before the angel/god did anything, an enormous black dragon appears above him. Such a dragon must be an EX-small. Even so, I have a feeling that it stands no chance against the boy...

I gulp and continue to watch the scene that lays before me.
