A/N So I saw some questions regarding the previous chapter and I decided to answer them.

The city that the MC lives in is called Kyros. It is where the strong rule the weak. The top 10 strongest are the council members where they deal with governmental problems and pass judgement.

Basically the top 10,000 ranked people are nobles and the rest are peasants cause they are nubs.

I guess you could imagine this land as kind of the medieval era in Europe but I'm gonna add some other stuff later.

Now back to the story...

======

Every step was painful as I walked down the dark street. I grit my teeth and pushed onward while ignoring the pain. I had a cloak over my head so I was pretty sure that no one would recognize me, and even if they did I was confident that I would at least be able to knock them out. And if I got into and extreme situation, I would kill them. I'm pretty sure, despite my age that I was at least in the top 150,000 in this city and I'm pretty sure that those stronger than me are most likely sleeping.

It took a while for me to reach the city walls. I used wind magic to levitate myself up and went over the walls. Luckily for me there weren't many guards on duty so I was able to easily escape.

I traveled along the long and winding road down the path that led me away from Kyros.

I have been traveling for about 2 hours with the assistance of wind magic and my body is really sore and tired from the beating I received from my father... I mean really, what kind of father beats their child for hanging out with their friend? Well... at least I have no regrets running away from home.

My older siblings were douche bags and my mother was completely obedient to my father. I was able to inform my younger brother what I was going to do and we had a tearful parting.

I saw a tree along the ride and I laid down under the tree and closed my heavy eyes for a brief moment.

When I opened my eyes I saw the sun light shining past the tree leaves.

I yawned and began to stretch and I forgot that I was beat up pretty bad so I flinched from the pain.

I opened my small bag and ate some bread and cheese while walking down the beaten path. By midday I reached a crossroad and I was stumped at which direction I should head to.

I completely forgot to bring a map and I reprimanded myself for forgetting such a simple thing. Well, I made the simple decision of going left and went on my way.

Good thing my body was pretty sturdy otherwise I wouldn't have been able to move because of my injuries. "Ahem." Did I forget to mention that I'm pretty hot?

I might have um.... kinda stared at myself in the ... mirror. And I gotta say that I have a pretty nice ass. I have one of those cute pink butt holes also. I have six pack abs, not one of those overly buff ones but the really sexy ones and did I say that I have a really nice ass? I guess the training from father really helped my body.

I occasionally slap it because I like the feeling of.. ahem... feeling my ass.... I'm not a pervert! It's perfectly natural to do this! It's not my fault that I have such a hot body!

I slept on the side of the road for the evening after finding a lone rabbit that was eating grass (not marijuana). I felt pity for it because it was really cute, but I was hungry and didn't only had a few dry strips of meat with me. After skinning it bleeding it out I roasted it over the fire and had delicious bunny for dinner.

The next day I came across a caravan and I was able to persuade by paying 5 silvers to allow me to ride one of their wagons. I had to speak in a deep manly voice so that they won't suspect that I'm a female.

I was able to save up some money that my parents occasionally gave me and I had a total of 34 gold and 21 silver. The coins were about the size of a quarter and they made a lot of noise when I moved so I had to stuff my coin pouch with a lot of cloth.

This was a fairly small caravan which had about 50 wagons and about 100 mercenaries that guarded it. The head merchant was a fairly average man with a mustache.

I had my hood covering my head the entire time because I didn't want anyone to speak to me. I focused on resting and healing my body.

The first two days of traveling with them was fairly uneventful and I enjoyed the scenery go by. Luckily nobody came up and talked to me. I have an aura of nobility (I think?) so they stood clear away from me.

During the third night of my stay with the caravan I was woken up by the sound swords clashing. I quickly drew my sword from its scabbard and looked carefully for any danger nearby. The mercs were rushing toward the sound of fighting and I heard the mercenary commander shouting orders to kill the bandits.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

I guess the bandits were smart for attacking in the middle of the night but these mercenaries were pretty experienced and they got the job done quickly and I didn't do anything. But the fight wasn't over yet as I heard more yells coming from the end of the caravan.

It turns out that the first group of bandits were just a distraction and the main party targeted the back. I used my magic to get an overview of what was happening.

There were about 200 more bandits that were in the end of the caravan and the mercenaries were scrambling to protect the wagons. The mercs were outnumbered 2 to 1, so the odds were against them. Then I saw man that was pretty much hacking away at the mercs and killing them like trash.

I assumed that he was probably the bandit leader. He was pretty good with the sword, he was at least and advanced rank in the Northern Style by the way he used his techniques. But to my surprise the leader of the hired mercenaries caught up to him and began to battle him.

The leader of the mercs was Advanced rank in the Southern style and they were pretty evenly matched. But the problem was that the bandits outnumbered the mercs and they were pushing them back. So I decided that it was time for me to make my glorious appearance and save the day.

While about a 100 feet in the air I conjured fireballs and began to rain them down onto the bandits. The bandit leader recognized what was happening and signaled to retreat after he saw me and uttered a curse.

The caravan began to clean up the mess and treating the wounded and checking up on their goods. I slowly made my way down and the caravan head thanked me graciously for my help.

I knew I still had to keep my disguise and made the manliest grunt that I could with my feminine voice. The leader of the caravan seemed to take that as a "shut up" signal and closed his mouth and let me go rest in my wagon.

Throughout the week I received some words of thanks and some glares of hate and some people muttered curses under their breath because I didn't help them sooner. Well, I personally didn't really care about strangers and let them do what they wanted.

When we finally reached the city of Ferrent the caravan leader gifted me a small pouch of coins for protecting them from the bandits and told me that if I ever needed a place to travel in the same direction as his caravan then he would be happy to oblige.

The first thing I did was find and inn and got a room for the night which cost 10 silvers. Then I went to the market place and found a map which cost 20 silvers... A rip off if you ask me.

The city-state of Ferrent is 50 miles to the west of Kyros. I'm pretty sure that my father found out that I ran away by now. I need to keep on heading west and go into the Raiyne Kingdom. I'm pretty sure that I can work as an adventurer or something there.

I bought some extra clothing (the underwear in this world is really... um... lame?? I guess is the correct term for it?... I could never find any sexy lingerie that I.... um..... was.... you know...) and a few medicinal supplies like bandages and antidotes just in case. Most of my wounds have healed by now but I'm still a little sore.

I searched around and found the Adventurer's guild located within this city. Kyros doesn't have an Adventurer's guild because it's citizens does all the missions and quests. It has its own little "adventurers guild" I should say.

It was really huge. there was a sort of bar in the first floor where the guild members could hang out and eat and in the second floor is where most of the jobs were posted. I approached a young lady in the counter and told her that I was looking to hire some people to escort me to the Raiyne Kingdom.

She began to ask me a series of questions about how long it would take, how many people I would hire, how much I was going to pay and how strong the people I wanted to hire were.

The adventurers were ranked from F to SSS being the highest. Because I didn't have that much money on me I hired 5 rank C adventurers and one rank B. I am paying them 30 gold coins (which is quite a lot about $30,000 in USA money) for a simple escort mission.

I left the guild and headed back to the market place again. I found a fair deal and was able to buy 2 cheap horses and a carriage for 3 gold and 50 silvers.

The money that the caravan leader gave me was about 20 gold so I have a little over 15 gold now.

I went back to the inn and went to sleep after a meal of warm soup and bread.
