Inside the auction's house, Yuki's expression kept growing darker and darker as the price already reached 450000 gold coins and yet the representative from Ingrassia still didn't give up…
'Even an idiot can tell at this point that something fishy was definitely going on…' Thought Yuki knowing full well that he was probably not going to get this dragon heart no matter how much he kept bidding so he suddenly grinned and said "5 Legendary grade magic cores"
'Let's cause some chaos' Yuki had a wide grin on his face! And just as he expected, the auction house suddenly exploded in discussions after hearing this crazy bet while the expression of the representative from Ingrassia changed slightly and the same was with Elmesia's…
Meanwhile, Hinata's eyes lit up dangerously 'Even Leon shouldn't have this many legendary magic cores to spare… Is he involved with Veldora's disappearance?' she thought before she stood up and went to booth number four with her hand on her unique sword dead-end rainbow ready for a fight…
A knocking sound soon followed from Yuki's booth and Sacha opened it expecting to see one of the elf workers from the auction, but to her surprise, it was Hinata Sakaguchi!
Hinata immediately walked inside the room and tried to use her unique skill mathematician to analyze Yuki but she could only see the huge amount of magicules contained inside his stomach and nothing else which surprised her since this is the first time she saw magicules stored in this way, but what surprised her the most was that she couldn't see anything special about Yuki but her ability sensed something covering him…
'What's this pure draconic aura… Don't tell me, he's actually the one that freed Veldora?' Hinata's expression darkened slightly and her grip on her sword tightened…
Meanwhile, Yuki was also observing this woman, that had short black hair and cold and calculating violet eyes…
'She won't be able to get much information from me since I have an ultimate skill and according to the laws of this world, no skill of a lower grade can work on me…' Thought Yuki before his eyes flickered slightly noticing how Hinata turned slightly on guard as if she felt something but he didn't know what's it… however he didn't show it on his face as he was wondering instead 'Why's my ability hero's favor not doing its magic?'
"We finally meet, Hinata-San. Thanks for letting me get the elixir earlier" said Yuki with a smile but Hinata didn't let go of her grip on her sword as she asked coldly "Did you free the true dragon Veldora from his seal?"
'Hmm, is there something on me that made her come to this conclusion, or is it just my interest in the dragon king's heart?' thought Yuki before Milim's appearance suddenly came to his mind 'Did she do something to me that I didn't notice?' Yuki's mind raced with thoughts but he replied confidently
"No, I didn't, my desire for this dragon heart is completely personal"
Hinata who thanks to her ability mathematician can detect lies could see that Yuki was telling the truth, and his hero's favor helped ease the tension, but she suddenly got an idea as she thought 'Maybe Leon did it?'
The moment her thoughts reached this point she asked "Do you know who did it?"
Yuki used all of his willpower and focus just to not show any reaction on his face 'Oh shit, how am I supposed to respond to this… Of course, I know who did it, but this is tricky to explain'
Hinata frowned seeing Yuki remain silent while staring at her and the atmosphere in the room grew tense as Sacha and Kayle gulped worriedly…
But just as Hinata was about to lose her patience, Yuki suddenly said with an awkward smile "Sorry, I almost got lost in your beautiful eyes"
"Huh…" The room suddenly grew silent as question marks appeared above everyone's heads including Hinata who wasn't expecting such an answer at all especially when people usually felt threatened by her cold look… However, she could sense that Yuki was telling the truth… Although she didn't know that he wasn't lost out of admiration but instead he was reminded of his neighbor Maou…
That time when he used dimensional link… There was a similar look on Maou's face, cold, distance, calculating… and even in his normal life, he still had the same look buried in the depth of his eyes and Hinata reminded him of that and he used a special phrasing to trick her skill to stall for some time to find a solution to his predicament… How smooth.
"Answer me" Said Hinata again with some seriousness in her voice although the already created awkwardness wasn't dispelled especially with Sacha shooting daggers at Yuki…
"One second" said Yuki before he turned around and said "how long are you going to stall for my dragon heart? You said you wanted legendary magic cores right?"
Indeed, Yuki was annoyed by the auctioneer that remained silent all this time until an elf in butler clothing approached her and she announced "Sorry dear customer but our empress suddenly found use to the dragon heart and she plans to retrieve it…"

Those clueless about the intentions of selling such an item irrupted at such a disrespectful action by the empress that seemed to be willing to sell her item to Ingrassia but not to Yuki…
"Oh, you don't show me or demon lord Leon any face huh? great, I will make sure to relay this to him" Said Yuki with a venomous tone that clearly disturbed the auctioneer but the butler-looking elf gestured for her to continue with the auction before he went to Yuki's room…
"Hinata, wait a second I need to finish some business with these bastards, let's go on a date later and have a proper talk, I'm sure you are interested in the current state of Japan" said Yuki with a toothy smile and one of his teeth shining slightly like a Casanova creeping Hinata slightly and almost making her forget her purpose of coming to meet him but she noticed the elf approaching them and said to Yuki "You better give me an honest answer later" before she made her way back to her VIP room while completely ignoring the butler elf…
After Hinata left, Yuki's romantic appearance disappeared as he stared at the elf silently.
"You must be Yuki" said the elf with a cold and slightly disappointed look in his eyes…' Magicules slightly higher than normal and he acts arrogant… It seems the rumors of him defeating the dark knight are not entirely true'
"And you must be the dick that told the auctioneer to retrieve the dragon heart" said Yuki with a smile before he said "I would have shook your hand but I'm not gay"
The elf's face twisted slightly as he said coldly "I'm Eric, The empress's butler, I'm here to apologize to lord Leon since we had to change our mind on selling the dragon king's heart, I'm sure he will understand our intentions unlike you, weakling"
Hearing the clear provocations in Eric's words, Sacha and Kayle's faces turned a shade colder, Eric not only didn't apologize to Yuki and only kept referring to Leon, he even hinted that he was stupid and a weakling to not understand their intentions which they couldn't accept, especially the innocent Sacha who immediately yelled at him
"How dare you talk like this to Yuki-sama? Apologize immediately!"
Eric shot the weak Sacha a dismissive look before he said "A useless human standing up for another useless human, how pathetic" before he was about to turn around and leave but Yuki who remained silent all this time suddenly moved and grabbed eric from the back of his head with a cold smile on his face creating a demonic beauty with his eerie green eyes shining sinisterly.
"How dare you touch me lowly human" Said Eric before he tried to free himself from Yuki's grip but it didn't work and he heard a devilish whisper in his ears "Do you know what's your biggest sin?"
"Unleash me! Wind Slash!" Said Eric while casting a sharp wind slash at Yuki's arm to cut it off! but it didn't even make a scratch on him and only served to cut his clothes as Yuki continued speaking
"It wasn't that you insulted me, I don't care about words after all… But you dared to insult my cute servant and call her useless and that's a crime worthy of punishment… is what a hero would say, but I'm none" At this point, Yuki's cold voice even caused Kayle and Sacha to shiver as Kayle tried to stop him
"Yuki-sama, we shouldn't stoop to his level…" but Yuki didn't care at all as his grin only widened as Eric's struggle grew bigger and his attacks grew even more tyrannical and deadlier and drew the attention of the crowd as some of the magic was deflected from Yuki's body and hit the walls of the VIP room…
But even through all of this noise, Yuki's eerie voice still drifted to eric's ears like the cursed whispers of a devil as he said "Your biggest sin was triggering a mission for me…"
And then Yuki threw Eric with his terrifying strength right at where the elf empress Elmesia was sitting, and although she detected the commotion, she didn't expect a head to suddenly go through the glass of her room and almost smash into her if not for her quick reaction and using a magic item to use space magic to stop Eric's momentum without harming him… Although he has already lost consciousness and was severely injured from smashing into the hardened glace twice!
Elmesia stood up from her seat and glared at Yuki's direction but the latter only waved at her while Hinata quickly rushed to Yuki's room and asked him about what happened…
….
Meanwhile, the auction suddenly erupted in chaos as the people who already sensed the magic and the tremors coming from Yuki's room were already unsettled by it… After all, the auction was supposed to be safe, but now even a VIP was being under attack…
But the commotion soon turned quiet after Elmesia elegantly walked closer to the broken window of her booth and questioned Yuki who was accompanied by Hinata
"What's the meaning of this? Yuki Chibana!"
Yuki tilted his head at her curiously and responded with a smile "Ask that guy Eric, oh right he's sleeping right now, let's just wait until he wakes up"
Elmesia's face darkened and the other people couldn't help but feel shocked
"Who's this man, to dare act like this in the elves' territory no less and be so rude to the empress?"
Someone in the crowd, a girl with long black hair and wearing a special white mask observed Yuki curiously before she turned her attention to Hinata who was standing beside him, and her gaze turned slightly sorrowful…
"Guards, capture this man and investigate what happened, I think he might be an impostor that's using demon lord Leon's name" Ordered Elmesia while snorting in displeasure after noticing how weak Yuki appeared and many elves immediately moved toward Yuki's direction…
'How's he going to handle this? She's clearly playing it dumb and lying to use this as an excuse later and play it dumb if Leon tries to take revenge for Yuki…' thought Hinata curiously while staring at the man standing proudly at the heart of this storm. But his gaze appeared unfocused which made her frown slightly…
Meanwhile, Yuki was currently reading a quest that had just appeared in front of him…
[Quest: Where the biggest fist rules]
[Quest Description: In this world where power is considered justice and grants absolute status, you were deemed as a lowly servant of demon lord Leon and humiliated by a mere butler of the empress Elmesia which brings huge displeasure to the system.
[Quest Task: Slap Elmesia who unapologetically allowed for this to happen 10 times in the face and deal with any obstacles that might stand in your way]
[Quest reward: Conqueror's Haki + Additional rewards if the host overperforms]
[Quest punishment: Expelled from the world of Tensura forever]
[Quest note: Just kill any fucking bitch that dares to humiliate you]
'I love quests with additional rewards the most' thought Yuki while eyeing the beautiful Elmesia with a predatorial look in his eyes that made her cover her chest with an uncomfortable look on her face… This was the same look Yuki had when he tortured Rize, and if the ghoul was here, she would have advised poor Elmesia to run away as soon as possible while running away herself!
An: Greetings everyone, Enjoy double release today :D
