A Bald Man Stood Up in the Crowd

"Okay, okay, Mira, stop crying. It's not a big deal. You're beautiful, don't listen to their nonsense."

In a secluded corner of a small pub, Eleven kept comforting Mira, who was sobbing in his arms. It was the first time Eleven had seen Mira like this, and he found it somewhat amusing.

This girl has terrible stress tolerance. If Laxus came, she definitely wouldn't be scolded to tears. After all, that guy was trained by Eleven and is very resilient under pressure.

Eleven felt he needed to train Mira more in the future.

"Waaah... Eleven, let's go back, I don't want to stay here anymore..." Mira choked out.

Eleven somewhat surprised and reached out to smooth Mira's hair. "What? Aren't you going to look for the Demon God anymore?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid if I stay here any longer, I might just tear this town down..."

Eleven:...

"Be good, be good, listen to me! You must hold back! We can't afford to pay for this!"

Eleven gently pressed Mira's face back into his arms, stroking her fur to calm her down and soothe the dark aura emanating from Mira.

While soothing Mira's fur, Eleven was also observing his irritable buddies.

Although Eleven didn't sense anything special, the way these people were acting so arrogantly and defiantly was clearly abnormal.

Rather than saying these guys are hot-tempered, it's more accurate to say they're just foul-mouthed.

Although these people used very harsh language, Eleven didn't actually sense much malice from them, which was the main reason why Eleven still had the time to comfort Mira.

Do you really think Eleven has such a good temper? If he really intended to destroy this town, he would definitely be the one to strike first, even before Mira.

"Mira, can you sense the aura of demons emanating from these people?" Eleven looked down at the back of Mira's head.

Mira was unusually well-behaved today, completely unlike her usual rebellious self in the guild. She rested her head on Eleven's chest for a long time without moving, being exceptionally obedient.

"No, I actually also think their condition might be related to demons, but I really didn't sense any demonic aura. Or maybe the aura was too faint for me to detect."

"Hmm... then leave the rest to me. I'll see what these people know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eleven released his Spiritual Power, Telepathy Magic instantly connected with the consciousness of everyone in the tavern. Eleven's voice resounded in everyone's minds.

"Ahem! You bunch of trash, let me ask you a question: Have you ever heard of the Demon God Halphas?"

Yes, it has a very Zaun- like feel to it.

The voice in their minds stunned everyone present, who didn't understand where it came from, but then came a burst of shouting and cursing.

Damn it! Regardless of whose voice it is, this bastard dares to call us trash?

This is unacceptable!!

Passersby outside the tavern were startled by the sudden shouts and screams that erupted inside. Peeking in, they saw a group of people inside, their necks stiff, cursing at each other in the air. Their insane behavior was truly touching.

Eleven and Mira sat quietly in the corner watching them rage. Although what these people said was mostly meaningless, Eleven had been communicating with them Telepathy and had managed to glean some useful information.

"Hmm... Is it related to the church in town? Mira, let's go take a look."

Eleven pondered for a moment, then quickly made a decision, pulling Mira along to investigate the town's only church.

However, just as the two got up, a towering figure blocked their way.

Looking up, a shiny bald head suddenly appeared from the vast crowd. Using his tall stature, the bald man forcefully pushed through the chaotic crowd, came to Eleven's side, and spoke.

"Who are you, sir? And why do you know about the Demon God Halphas?"

Eleven stared up at the glowing sphere for a long while before suddenly realizing that it was a head and that someone was talking to him.

"Um... who are you, sir?"

Eleven was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the bald man. Just as he was about to confirm the man's identity, the man was suddenly surrounded by a group of irritable drunks because of the crowd he had just been pushing.

Hey! Baldy, why are you pushing?

"Baldy! Just because you're tall doesn't mean you're anything special!"

"Baldy..."

Seeing the tall, bald man looking embarrassed in the crowd, Eleven and Mira once again realized how terrifying these people's words were, and quickly took advantage of the chaos to escape the small tavern they had messed up.

"Shall we investigate the church here next?" Mira asked, following behind Eleven.

Eleven didn't go to see Mira, but instead used his Spiritual Power to scan the location of the church before replying, "Hmm, I think we should go check it out. In many people's Memories, the priest at that church has mentioned the name of the Demon God Halphas. That priest is probably suspicious."

"Is it another demon hiding in the church...?" Mira unconsciously bit her lower lip and clenched her fists after hearing Eleven, clearly lost in some unpleasant memories.

Eleven didn't notice Mira's little actions and hurried towards the church. Mira wasn't a coward, so she hesitated for a moment before continuing on her way.

This time is different. She's now a skilled mage, no longer the naive little girl she once was. Besides, this time she has a reliable companion by her side; with him, there's nothing to fear.

Mira thought and thought

Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look up at Eleven running ahead of her.

Then, she bumped into Eleven's back with a "thud"!

"Ouch... that hurts! Eleven, why did you suddenly stop?" Mira complained, rubbing her nose.

Eleven's back ached from the bump Mira made, and he gave the silly girl a reproachful look. However, he wasn't in the mood to argue with Mira, because in front of them, the bald man who should have been stuck in the tavern had somehow reappeared.

"I'll ask you one more time, who exactly are you people? Why are you investigating the Demon God Halphas? It's a very dangerous being, and I hope you can tell me the truth."

Whether it was because he had been bullied by those citizens or not, the bald man was clearly no longer in a polite mood, and his tone became serious. At the same time, he also subtly released his immense magical pressure, looking down at Eleven and Mira.

"Gulp..."

Eleven subconsciously swallowed. Although he didn't sense any obvious malice, he felt a strong sense of oppression emanating from the bald man in front of him—a feeling of disparity in strength. If this potato-headed man were truly an Eleven have dragged Mira away without hesitation.
