Child of Destiny

...…

The girl that bumped into Arthur earlier was suddenly blocked by a man with black suit. And the moment saw that man, she couldn't help but click her tongue and said. "Tsk! That's fast."

The man in black suit immediately bowed at her and replied. "I am sorry, young miss. But your grandmother is worried that you might cause another trouble that is why she sent me here to find you."

The girl thought for a moment before asking. "How did you manage to find me this time, Uncle Shaun? I even troubled myself to put on this disguise."

The man named Shaun didn't raise his head while replying. "Are you perhaps doubting the observation skills of a Mentalism Family, young Miss?"historical

"Tch! Then why can't you identify my big sister whenever she is in her disguising ability? She even teaches me this disguise so that I can sneak out from home." asked by the girl while pouting her lips.

"Excuse my rudeness, young Miss. But she is more skilled than you," answered Shaun with a flat tone.

Hearing that, the girl immediately released a helpless sigh before muttering to herself. "That is unfair."

Shaun ignored her mumbling before saying. "We should be going now, young miss. The Potter Clan will be thrown in chaos if something happens to you."

"Tsk! They are calling me a secret weapon of our Clan yet grandma is sending me on a very dangerous mission?" said the girl with a sarcastic tone.

But despite saying that, she still complied with Shaun's urging to come home. At the same time, she was also removing her disguise and revealed her true appearance.

She was still a teenage girl with the same age as Arthur and Shin, but her figure was already starting to show its maturity. She had perfect curves, slender legs and just like what Arthur had said, her chest was in perfect size.

While walking, she also removed the bull cap that she was wearing and let her black long hair fall from being hidden by her cap.

At the same time, her beautiful face was revealed. A pair of round eyes with brown pupils, long eyelashes, and thin eyebrows with perfect curves. Her sharp nose also perfectly matched her red pouty lips.

But despite her elegant appearance, the actions that she was doing didn't match her looks. She tossed her cap in the air and caught it with one hand. And right after catching it, she spun it with her index finger.

Then she said while brushing past Shaun. "But before that, let's look for my twin brother first. After all, we sneaked out of the house at the same time."

Hearing that, Shaun couldn't help but release a helpless sigh before muttering to himself. "What a troublesome pair of twins. I might die of exhaustion at keeping the both of them in check."

After that, he immediately chased after his Clan's young miss.

*******

Meanwhile, Arthur arrived on his next stop. It was a tall building with multiple floors. There was a huge signboard hanging in front of this building. – "All-Gamers' Gym" – were the words written on it.

​ And from the looks of it, Arthur was seemingly a regular in this place since even the guards were able to recognize him.

"Hey, Arthur! I didn't see these last few days. Busy about something?" asked by one of the guards when Arthur stopped in front of the guard house and removed his helmet.

"Yo, Uncle Rudy! It really has been a while since I came here. Is there anything noteworthy that I need to know?" asked Arthur the moment he got off his bike.

And after a quick pause, he immediately added. "And can I park here as usual?"

The guard named Rudy suddenly started chuckling the moment he heard the latter part of Arthur's words. "Of course, you can! You are not new after all."

Then he paused for a moment before continuing. "As for anything that you need to take note of… Actually, there are some new guys that needed to be taught a lesson. They are always causing trouble left and right. Though, I am sure that it will not happen if you are here."

"Oh~! Looks like I don't need to use the training machines to warm myself up, huh?" Arthur suddenly became interested the moment he heard that. And after a slight pause, he turned his head at the building before asking. "So, on what floor are they now?"

"Not that high. They are just on the fourth floor," answered Rudy while chuckling.

Arthur suddenly smirked the moment he heard that. "Heh! fourth floor? They dared to make a mess here when they are that weak?"

Then he turned his head back to Rudy before asking. "What about the other regulars? They are not helping out?"

Hearing that, Rudy couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. "You know those guys. They don't care about other things unless they can make some profit from it."

"Tsk! Acting like a businessman as usual. I guess I need to put some work this time," said Arthur while stretching his waist left and right. And before he started walking away, he suddenly turned his head at the building once again before asking. "They are not going to die even if I threw them out of the window, right?"

Rudy suddenly started chucking before giving his reply. "Do what you want and I will handle the rest as usual."

Arthur gave him a thumbs up and said. "Good! I am going now then. But send me their photos first."

...

After exchanging some greetings with the guard, Arthur didn't delay any longer and immediately entered the lift to go on the said floor where the troublemakers are staying.

"Fourth Floor, huh? You guys really made a good choice at choosing the number 4," muttered Arthur while making some cracking sounds with his fist.

Ding!

After a few more moments, he finally arrived at the said floor. But before he could even walk out of the elevator, something that he didn't expect immediately greeted him.

Right after the lift opened its door, Arthur immediately saw an enlarging figure that was flying towards him.

Given its size, Arthur knew that he couldn't catch the incoming figure. So, he immediately took a step to the side and dodged whatever was coming towards him.

Bang!

The figure collided at the wall of the elevator which gave Arthur a clear look at it; and it was an unconscious person.

"Eh!? This guy looks familiar," muttered Arthur the moment he saw the face of the unconscious guy. After that, he immediately opened his advance watch to look for something.

"I knew it! This guy is one of the troublemakers. But what happened to him. Hmmm… Is one of the regulars finally made their moves?" said Arthur after confirming the identity of the unconscious guy in front of it.

After that, he immediately pressed the 'open' button of the elevator to prevent it from closing its door. Then leaned sideways to take a sneak look at what was happening on the floor. And when he confirmed that there was nothing flying towards his way, he immediately stepped out of the lift.

Right after entering the floor, the first thing that Arthur did was to observe his surroundings. And from the looks of it, there was nothing much to worry about since all of the training apparatuses were all in good shape.

After that, he immediately went towards the place where a lot of people were crowding. And since he couldn't clearly see from his current spot, he tapped one of the onlookers' shoulder before asking. "Bro, why are you crowding here? What is happening?"

The guy that he tapped onto didn't even turn his head at him when replying. "Did you just arrive, bro? Anyway, here is the full summary of what had happened."

"Earlier, these newcomers are causing some trouble for everyone here. But when another newcomer can't take their annoying attitude any longer, he started beating them up."

Hearing that, Arthur suddenly became interested and asked. "Oh~! Is that newcomer strong?"

The guy was still not looking at Arthur when answering. "Of course, he is! From my perspective, he may be as strong as the 'Regulars' on the higher floors."

"Oh~! Is that so? How sure are you about that? Those guys in the higher floors are quite strong, you know?" asked Arthur once again.

Hearing that, the guy immediately replied. "Of course, I am aware that those guys are strong! But that is also the reason why I said that he is as strong as them."

And after a slight pause, he immediately added. "There are 9 troublemakers and all of them are in the Core Formation Stage. But each of them is immediately defeated by a single punch of the other guy."

"Hmm… He may be a really strong guy if that is the case," agreed by Arthur. But he immediately added after a slight pause. "But I can also beat those guys with just a flicked of my finger. So, I may be much stronger than him."

Hearing that, the onlooker guy couldn't help but laugh at those words as he turned his head at Arthur. "Hahaha… that is a good joke, bro. But-…"

But the moment he saw the face of the guy beside him, the onlooker guy suddenly stopped talking and swallowed back his words. And when he realized who he was talking to, he couldn't help but stutter as he tried to voice out Arthur's name. "Y-you… Y-you…"

And when he finally found enough strength to do so, he accidentally shouted out his words. "Y- You are the 'Golden Dragon: Arthur' of the 32nd floor!"

Due to his unexpected voice in the middle of the silent crowd, everyone who was present inside the room, simultaneously turned their heads in his direction. And when the others realized the identity of the young man standing beside him, the crowd couldn't help but become stunned.

When Arthur saw that everyone was looking at him that way, he couldn't help but flash a meek smile. Even if he loved being in the center of attention, he still felt uncomfortable when they were looking at him that way. It was a different case if they were all women though.

A moment later, Arthur raised one of his hands a little before saying. "Relax guys. It is just me, there is nothing to fuss about."

And right after he said those words, everyone present in the room suddenly burst into an uproar!
