Welcome To Arcana 55 Dinner.

Elita wasn't so sure, "Do you even think there will be any?"

"Have you not heard what happened?"

"Yes, both I and Rita heard from Adira."

"Our teamwork needs to be impeccable. No mistakes, not misjudging the enemy…Elita."

"I only need to learn that lesson once. As long as you stay close by."

Radley lightly tapped her on the head, "Helmets are fine. I don't have one so I don't wear one. You can have Adira get you both each. Just make sure it doesn't obscure your vision."

He walked closer to Elita and examined her. Elita was a bit fl.u.s.tered, "Uuhm, what are you doing?"

"Guessing your weight."

"Oh my G.o.d, has your parents never told you to leave a lady's weight alone."

Radley picked her up which made her blush profusely, "Radley, what the h.e.l.l are you doing now!?"

"You are much lighter than I thought, which means my idea will work perfectly."

The three of them discussed some tactics until Adrian came to collect him. Adrian looked at the girls and said, "Sorry ladies. If there are too many people it will raise suspicion. You will have to sit this one out. Let's go, Radley."

Rita walked up to him and said, "Radley, please be careful. We are a team, now."

He placed his hand on her head, "Don't worry. Worst comes to worst I will run with my tail between my legs."

He smiled and left.

The two made their way on foot towards the magistrate's house with Adira and Nianda, Adrian's wife.

The magistrate was waiting for them with a small entourage. An old man to be precise, probably mid-fifties to late fifties. They had a large grey beard and long grey hair and brown eyes. Real muscular guy with an intimidating aura. Angus, Lv.21, Authoritative nature. Aura: White.

"Welcome, could I ask why you are here, Adrian, and with Adira no less?"

"I wish to talk in peace."

"I what makes you think that I would want to?"

"I know you've been after me for quite some time, so I am here to pledge my allegiance."

A ma.s.sive smile formed on Angus's, "Really now? This is cause for celebration!"

"Why don't we seal if over some dinner. I recently came into contact with some Glow tail meat, but I must ask. Who is the kid?"

"His name is Radley. A gifted young worrier."

"I'm not interested in weaklings."

"He will become strong in the future."

"That is to say he makes it to level twenty. Adira, what do you think of the kid?"

Adira smiled and placed her hand on Radley's shoulder, "He's as tough as they get. Besides, there is a protection order placed on him. You should have gotten that memo."

"Oh, so he is the Loner. Still, he is a level one. I don't have time for a level one."

Radley spoke out, "Level three actually."

Both Adira and Nianda looked at Radley is disbelieve. Adrian smiled, "Yip, confirmed it myself."

Angus wasn't impressed, "You guys are really adamant about him staying. Fine."

Adira leaned in closer to Radley and whispered into his ears, "Since when?"

"Became level three just today."

"How? Did you truly cheat when you entered the compet.i.tion?"

"No, I don't even know how to cheat the selection process. And besides, if you think it was bribing I barely had enough to pay the entrance fee. I went from level one too level three in a s.p.a.ce of fewer than two weeks."

She just couldn't believe her ears, "You will tell me everything when the time is right. I really want to know your secret."

"My secret. Simple. Take mega risks and hope for the best."

She shook her head, "So you got lucky."

"It's calculated risks, not suicide."

Adrian asked, "Nianda, why don't you go prepare the food."

She nodded as Angus spoke up, "Excellent idea. Your wife's food is to die for."

"You have no idea."

"I will give some of my people to help out."

They sat around a large table talking about inane things. The food finally arrived after an hour. Angus smiled gently as he spoke, "Ah young boy, why don't you have the first bite. Her food is really good."

Radley shrugged as he took a bite. The system immediately chimed up in his head, "Warning, the user has ingested a highly toxic substance. Initiating expulsion process."

Radley felt the contents of his stomach come up as he turned his mouth away from the table to vomit. His eyes teared up slightly due to the severity of the expulsion. He turned his head to face Nianda with malice that could curdle milk.

She was just as shocked, if not more like Radley. Then he chastised Diff in his head, "Diff why weren't you able to detect the toxin!?"

"Toxin detection level was too low to spot the poison."

Angus started to laugh, "My, it seems the food isn't agreeing with you."

His face did a complete one-eighty, "You people come into my house and bring in this…rat, and treat him like some honored guest. Don't worry, it's a quick killing poison.

In that instant Radley made an interesting call and fell to the ground, faking his death. Angus stood up, "You said there was a protection order placed on him, right. The problem is I didn't poison him. Someone else did."

Adira was livid, "It was done by your order…"

"There is no way to prove that."

He stood up and grabbed the faking Radley, "You know what is interesting about my place. It's built overlooking the valley below. A so-called level three would definitely die from this height, but you see I needed to get rid of waste, and I have no place to dispose of a body."

He tossed him like a doll out of the window. In the exact last second Radley removed his axe and hooked the edge of the windowsill just as he was about to fall. He sighed in relief. His reaction perk really did come in handy.

Angus didn't see Radley hook himself because he happened to be looking away.

He sat down and started to eat his meal. Adrian did notice Radley twist and turn at the last second so he placed his hand on Adira to calm her down. Adira looked at him as he shook his head.

Radley popped his head over the windowsill making sure Angus wasn't looking. He waved trying to rea.s.sure them. Adira wanted to smile but kept it herself, "Angus. I am going to say this. That was very foolish."
