Chapter 5: New Adventurer Bern (3). The Sky-Blue-Haired Adventurer
The commotion Bern caused in the middle of the city quickly became a hot topic in the adventurers’ guild.
A diligent, hard-working rookie had beaten the hell out of some senior adventurers? And not just a light scuffle—he had thrashed them?
“Kuh! I should’ve been there to watch it myself!”
“Hahaha! Yeah, an adventurer should at least have that much guts!”
“Those bastards had it coming! I knew they’d get their asses handed to them sooner or later!”
Hearing the reactions around him, Bern tilted his head in confusion.
Blanca, the guild receptionist who had been explaining the situation, raised an eyebrow.
“What’s wrong?”
“I just don’t know if this is the right reaction. I mean, isn’t it still a case of a rookie beating up fellow guild members?”
“You must be misunderstanding something. Adventurers don’t really have a sense of camaraderie or loyalty to each other.”
Blanca’s voice was tinged with sarcasm as she gave him an analogy.
“For example, let’s say you’re a regular customer at a well-known trading company. If another customer—one who’s known for being an absolute nuisance—gets beaten up outside the store, would you care?”
