Chapter 218 - Rafael Is Looking For Ellena

Just outside the city of Phlabian, a very handsome young man was standing, wearing fine clothes. He had blonde hair, just the right length to reach his eyebrows.

As he walked, entering the gates, the guards felt that he was a noble and instinctively greeted him without asking for affiliation. 

"Welcome to Phlabian City." Even though there were people lining up, the guards let the young man pass without asking for anything.

Because of this shameless act of the guards in broad daylight, everyone looked at them with disdaining eyes. Although it is normal to respect those who are higher than you, they still can't stomach the unfairness of the system.

The young man smiled.

"Thank you, I won't be humble then." The young man said, then entered the city nonchalantly.

Just when he left the gates, everyone, especially a group of adventurers with an intimidating gaze, looked at him from behind. All of them hissed and gritted their teeth with irritation.

'Just like that. That weakling easily entered the adventurers' haven with just being handsome and rich. This is an adventurers' haven; the rich can't pass through it easily.'

In the field of adventuring, what's important is the aura that adventurers emit. Between them, to respect someone, at least they should be powerful or influential enough that the younger adventurers respect them. 

'But look at that bitch. Walking nonchalantly without being ready in any situation, that's how weak people walk.' 

A group of five bald adventurers that saw a handsome young man who passed by being handsome, targeted him to straighten his ways.

'He won't succeed in being handsome. How dare he.'

***

The handsome young man was named Rafael. He was previously an angel, but with the help of his brother, the Supreme of an organization, his vessel became a human. But of some sort, he was weakened. His angelic powers that couldn't be compared to humans disappeared, and because of that, he couldn't stand against five White Gold Rankers from the adventurers' guild.

'What the heck?! Why did these humans suddenly attack me?! I am still not ready for fights as I am still getting used to my new body? I still can't get hold of what they call mana!'

Angels don't use mana. They use magical power that is totally different from mana, and because of that, not having a rune and also having no power is just like being a punching bag for them.

The Mighty Gang, a party of five bald adventurers, despise people who are weak and use their faces as a privilege.

"That style won't work here. Life and power are twins, and you being weak is nothing but garbage here." The leader said, with an intimidating voice.

'What the heck with that human?! How could he be so powerful?! Did I underestimate humans?! How could an angel like me become powerless in front of them?!'

Rafael was assessing things, taking into account the things he experienced. But none of those became useful to him, and just when they were done beating him, they all left him with simple words.

"Leave the city in an instant. That's your first and final warning."

'What the fuck! How could I be defeated like that?'

***

After being beaten greatly, Rafael left the corner where he was lying down, then walked through the streets of Phlabian City for one reason: to find Ellena.

Rafael was just walking down the street, taking everyone's attention as he was pretty beaten, with scars and bruises all over his body. 

Even though it was concerning, people weren't concerned enough to approach him since it wasn't that uncommon here. 

In Adventurers' haven, how could there be a person in broad daylight being beaten unreasonably? Of course, it would be because of adventurers' taking on challenges or something.

'He doesn't look like an adventurer. Rather, he looks like a noble.' One of the ladies thought as she was just passing by when she saw Rafael.

'Perhaps I could use this to leech on him. He is also handsome; I can pick him!'

And so, a lady with a pink ponytail in a casual dress approached Rafael. There was some aura around her, keeping herself confident as he approached him.

"Uhm... Excuse me?" the lady asked, catching Rafael's attention.

"Yes? How may I help, you human?" Rafael asked, but for the ladies' point, it was a weird question to ask.

"What happened to you? You look hurt." 

Rafael listened to her question, then looked at his body after it. He nodded and then answered her.

"I was beaten by strong humans. It was an eye-opener for me, but I don't have the luxury of thinking about it. I must look for someone."

Taking that into consideration, the interest of the lady was piqued, and as an opportunity, she dragged the conversation out to be long.

"Then, can I help you with what you are doing?" she asked.

"Really? I would be thankful. I was looking for Ellena Lumbert. Do you know her?"

Of course, it was a stupid question, but Rafael's common sense wasn't the same as with humans. He never thought that Ellena had a disguise as Noelle. And because of that, he didn't get an answer.

"Sorry... I don't know. But I will still help you. Do you know what she looks like?" the day asked once again.

"She is beautiful with blue hair and dark eyes. Perhaps you have seen her."

The lady scratched her head and went into deep thoughts about how to answer him.

"I don't know. That kind of description of features is something I'd never been asked about before. Dark-colored eyes and hair aren't common here."

Just after she said it, she was baffled, witnessing how Rafael was pointed with a sword on his leg.

The conversation was heard by someone, and the lady was scared. Just looking at it, she became silent.

Then, Rafael slowly looked at the person who was pointing a sword at him. It was a woman in some office dress, firmly standing with a great stance and an intimidating gaze.

Inside his mind, he was agitated. 

'Now there's another human. I am still not used to this body. That's why I am weak, but I can't make that a reason for being weak. Humans are really strong!'

"Let me ask you, why are you looking for Miss Ellena? Who are you?"

The lady who pointed her sword at Rafael inspected him from head to toes, then back to his head again. 

'He's handsome but with unacceptable dirty fine clothes. Perhaps he was ripped off by someone, but still, it won't remove the fact that he was looking for Miss Ellena.. I can't be careful enough because that bitch is a friend of Young Master.'
