Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Nero fixed his cloak which flapped in the wind and asked "How may I be of assistance?"

Draven appeared to be seemingly annoyed by Nero's tone of voice

"I heard about your show down on floor 15"

"Is that so? Did you come to give me a pat on my back and some chocolates?"

Draven approached Nero even more closely, resisting the urge to punch him 

"As much as I would like to kick your ass right now for your smart mouth, the captain asked to see you"

Nero was a bit surprised by this statement. After all Julia Duskmane was a well known adventurer and they haven't had any formal interactions besides the two times she apologized for her subordinate's actions

In a suspicious tone of voice Nero asked, "What for? I don't see any reason for her to request a meeting with me"

Draven walked towards Nero, "Are you coming or not?"

Nero sighed and said "Come along Alura"

Alura followed behind Nero who in turn followed behind Draven. It was like a game of follow the leader or just like a human train. Draven had been walking at a steady fast pace and constantly creating a large gap between his two escortee.

"Can you two pick up the pace?" he complained as he marched on at a continuous fast pace

Roughly around 5 minutes passed and they approached a modest sized structure. It was a single story bungalow style house that bore the Dark Leaves party crest on the front door. This was their base of operations.

Draven opened the front door using the handle and ushered them  inside. The interior of the base was quite stylish. You could tell that Julia was the person who designed it. Nero and Alura sat on the chairs that were offered to guests. Both of them awaited the leader of Black Leaves.

Julia walked into the room in a confident manner. She wasn't wearing her usual armor but a simple fitted short black dress that defined her petite shape. She took a seat across from her two guests and then crossed her legs in a lady like manner

With a smile so warm that it could warm a man's heart, "Welcome Nero"

Nero fixed his eyes on her face in an attempt not to look at her cleavage, "What is it that you want?"

Julia leaned forward a bit and in an excited tone of voice, "Great straight to the point and no dancing around. So that means I don't have to heat up a kettle for tea"

Her sharp black eyes glanced to the left of Nero as she noticed Alura who was sitting there quietly.

"Who is this charming young man?"

Nero slightly extended his arm and poked Alura as a signal for her to speak

"H-i I am A-lura and I am in Sir Nero's party"

A look of disappointment crept on Julia's beautiful face as she heard those words

In an equally disappointed tone she said "Oh so you formed your own party?"

Nero raised his right hand at eye level and showed her the back of his right hand which had the Wing Fang's party crest on it.

"I formed it earlier"

Julia gracefully got up from her seat seemingly a bit sad, "So if I were to invite you to join my party you will decline?"

Nero got up as well, "Basically. Is that what you called me here for?"

Draven barged in the room almost immediately after hearing what was just said.

"Julia you can't invite this angel of death to join our party"

Julia raised her hand and silenced him

"He already declined so no need to throw a fit"

Nero headed towards the door with Alura, "If that's our only business here then we'll shall take our leave"

Julia stopped him as he put his hand on the silver door handle

"If you won't join me then have a practice duel with me"

Nero still facing the door replied, "Why do you want to duel a person weaker than you?"

Julia walked a bit closer to him and said "I heard that you defeated the floor 15 boss by yourself and that is a big achievement in my eyes because when I was that level, it took an entire party of 10 to finally bring down Razor Back"

There was silence for a few moments, the only thing you could hear was Draven's heavy breathing and the occasional passing horse

Nero turned around to face Julia and finally broke his silence, "What do I get if I win?"

Julia twisted her lips to the left and pondered about a possible prize.

She then said, "How about if you win you can get your pick of any weapon or item in the Dark Leaves base but"

Nero instantly replied, "But what?

Julia smirked and said "If I win then you will owe me a favor that I will cash in on the later date"

Nero turned to Alura who looked at him. "Do you think I can take her?"

Alura fidgeted a bit, "I want to believe so"

Nero sighed and said "I guess you have the same amount of confidence I do right now"

Julia leaned against the wall with her shoulder, "If you want it can even be a 2v2"

Draven who was already raring to have a go at Nero added in, "That sounds fine by me" then put on his same old confident smile 

Nero extended his arm in front of Alura who stood slightly at the back of him, "No she won't be fighting. Well at least not right now but I will accept your duel none the less"

Julia smiled exciting and said "The arena in 3 hours time"

Nero turned the door handle and replied "See you there"

Sometime later in the guild office, talks about Julia finally dueling in the arena was spreading like a wild fire.

Emi who was doing paperwork at her assigned table space listened in on the conversation that her co workers were having

"Julia Duskmane is dueling that white hair kid in the arena in about two hours"

"My money is on Julia winning easily"

"I heard that white hair kid took down Razor Back so he might have a chance"

"Yeah I doubt that"

Emi's mouth opened wide and she exclaimed, "Why is that idiot dueling Julia?!"

Most of her co-workers turned their attention to her

Emi then embarrassingly sat back down and covered her face with some of the paperwork she worked on earlier

She then said in her mind, "He bet hopes Julia kills him before I do"
