16 Soldier of Zircon

"Nnngh!?" I gasped in pain while clutching my wrist, having fallen to the tatami floor too hard.

"Ah!? Sis, you okay?" Toku said while worriedly looking at my pained face, inspecting my hurt wrist.

"Y-yeah, it's no big deal. I guess I just lost my balance at the end there and fell awkwardly." I wryly chuckled. "I'll go get some ice to put on it."

Ignoring my younger brother's protests, I carefully picked myself up and left the dojo. Heading back towards the house.

Toku was currently helping me train my reflexes and hand-to-hand combat. It was going pretty well until I miscalculated, and a wound that I had got during school caused me to lose my balance.

Hopefully, he doesn't get suspicious.

But man, getting beat up by your own sibling who's two years younger than you really does hurt your pride...even if that sibling has won multiple tournaments.

Still hurts.

I'm pretty sure all the big siblings out there understand what I mean as well.

My ego has been wounded~

I need to heal my soul in Sapphire. Yup, let's go find the overseers and then get some PK points!

Oh, I should restock my arrows and consumables as well. I guess I'll drop by the auction house once again.

Maybe I should just make a storage room and fill it up so that I don't need to go through the trouble every time…..but that's a thought for later!

Taking a quick shower and then changing out of my training clothes, I immediately hopped into my capsule and logged into the game.

I had plenty of return scrolls, so I used one without hesitation and appeared back on the town teleport pad.

Alright! Let's go find this Overseer.

Heading towards the building that my mentor had directed to, I walked up to the pair of guards who were standing at the front gate.

"Hey hey hey, look! There's another newbie trying to see the Overseer." Mocked a swordsman who was watching nearby.

Motioning for his buddies to follow him, he sauntered towards me in an arrogant manner.

"I can help you get in you know!" He declared while disgustingly eyeing my appearance. "But in exchange, I will need you to do me a little favor…"

Ugh…..I just have the luck to meet the worst type of person today. Obviously, he must have some sort of quest that lets him inside the gates, but I'm sure that it only works once.

After all, I did notice plenty of other people approaching the gate before me and getting turned away.

But why did he choose me…..how troublesome.

Ignoring him, I turned away and kept walking towards the gate. Seeing me brush him off, blood rose up to his head and he shouted in rage.

"You little bitch! Don't come begging to me when you're rejected!" He screamed while stopping his advance and crossing his arms with a nasty sneer.

I just ignored him, people like him don't deserve attention.

Taking out Abest's badge, I showed it to the guards.

"Ah, excuse me, kind sirs, I need to see the Overseer on Marshall Abest's orders." I politely asked while watching them check the badge.

Apparently, they found it quite real, without hesitation, they opened up the gate and let me in with friendly smiles.

"Of course, young miss."

"Yes, our master is expecting your arrival!"

Oh? How welcoming.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the previous rude man who had approached me earlier. Heh, well he looks very shaken up. His name's Hitman? I'll note it down for later.

"Thank you very. I'll put in a good word for both of you!"

Nice one Yuri! That was a really good play right there. Hopefully, I don't forget though.

I was ushered by a butler into the mansion and gestured to wait in a waiting room. Looking around the place, it was very well furnished and luxurious, as expected of the top dog!

While waiting on a very comfy sofa, a message arrived in my inbox from Lyssia with all the details I had asked for included. Skimming through the contents, a few I very interesting things caught my eye.

Fufufufufu looks like this game will only get more interesting from here on out! Lyssia is more resourceful than I thought! I'll make good use of her.

Typing back to her, I gave her orders to test her abilities.
