“Ouch…” Elise winced in pain and lifted her body. As soon as she realized someone was below her, the woman hurriedly got up. That woman then looked around at people, waved, and smiled. With an awkward gesture, she greeted. “Hi, everyone.”


    “Did you stumble, Miss?” One of the men asked.


    “What kind of power does she have to make a grown man faint like that just by tripping over him?” Another man replied.


    “Renee!!!” Someone’s scream was heard from outside the restaurant.


    The mage raised an eyebrow, then came out of that ce. The men exchanged nces, then followed Renee, leaving their friend lying on the floor. Even Hugo, the restaurant owner, also went with them.


    Meanwhile, Elise froze, looking at her victim. When she finally decided to check on the bald man, she heard Raymund’s voice.


    “Leave him alone, Elise. He’s not important in your mission. You’d better get out and see what happens.”


    Though still hesitant, Elise followed the others out of the restaurant. Outside there were already a few ruthless-looking men.


    “I’m still mad at you!” A man with spiky hair and a bruised left eye snapped at Renee. “See these eyes!? You made it like this!”_.


    The mage took a deep breath. “It was your fault for wanting to twist my nipple. I already gave you a warning, but you insisted on doing it.”


    “That’s because of your revealing clothes!” The man replied in a louder voice. “If you don’t dress like a slut, I won’t be tempted by you.”


    “Hmm…. So you’re saying it’s all my fault?” Renee smiled. Her way of speaking was also rxed. However, the veins in her neck began to bulge. “You’re the one who can’t keep your lewd thoughts at bay!”


    “They’ll be fighting soon, Elise. You should pay attention to that woman named Renee.” Raymund gave an instruction. “Maybe she was rejected by the others because of her fighting style.”


    Hugo hastily moved between the two groups. “Hey, you two better settle things without violence…”


    Hugo’s words were cut short by the spiky man’s fist thatnded on his cheek, causing him to fall instantly.


    “Don’t interfere, you fat …”


    Elise, along with the men who visited the restaurant gasped. Not because of the sudden attack from the man with the spiky hair, but what Renee did after that. Instead of using magic to fend off the hordes of men, she jumped, then hit the spiky-haired man’s head with her staff.


    “What the f*ck!? Why is there a mage who can melee!?” Raymund sounded like he was losing his mind.


    The spiky-haired man’s followers were just dumbfounded when their leader fell.


    “So? Is there anyone who still dares to fight me?” Renee asked in an oddly elegant tone.


    Instead of being frightened, the spiky-haired man followers looked even more irritated.


    “Don’t be arrogant, bitch!”


    “Just because you’re a woman, you think we wouldn’t dare beat you up!?”


    “Die!!!”


    Meanwhile, the restaurant patrons were cheering with joy and ignoring Hugo, that stilly on the street. Elise, who realized that, got a warning from Raymund to stay focused on Renee.


    Renee brought her hands closer to the street, then used her magic to blow dust into the faces of the spiky-haired followers. Most covered their eyes, but some managed to escape and ran to the mage.


    Renee didn’t stay still. She used her magic staff to attack her enemies’ stomachs, legs, and chests. Not only that, she also uses her feet to kick the men asionally.


    In addition to physical attacks, that light blue-eyed woman also uses her magic, albeit in small portions. Like when she froze her opponent’s fist or stabbed a sharp piece of ice into one of the enemy’s butt.


    Wanting to know what was happening, local patrons and shopkeepers came out. Most of the spiky hair’s men had fallen, and there was only one left who was still determined to attack.


    Renee bent down, her right hand turning orange and emitting dim light like burning charcoal. She held the enemy’s thigh with that hand. Thest enemy jumped up and down on one leg, and Renee effortlessly pushed him down.


    “Arrrgghhh!!!” The man screamed in pain as Renee stomped hard on his private part.


    The patrons of Hugo’s restaurant flinched and grimaced as if sharing the poor man’s suffering. However, there is one that sticks out its tongue and breathes like a happy dog.


    “I can touch your face or dick with this fire magic.” Renee rubbed her feet hard against her enemy’s crotch. “However, even though you are bastards, I still feel sorry for you. You and your friends are still humans.”


    “Forgive me!!! Please let me go!!! I promise I won’t attack you again!!!” The man tried to break free and cried, but his efforts were vain.


    “Just kill them! They’re the ones who always harass our shop!” One of the shopkeepers shouted loudly.


    “They took money from us!”


    Those words were greeted with boisterous approval from other shop owners. However, Renee paid no heed to them and lifted her feet from the enemy’s private parts.


    “Now, get out of here,” Renee said in a cold tone. “Don’t let me see you guys again.”


    The man immediately ran away. Meanwhile, some of his still conscious friends helped those who were still lying down. Then they hastily fled.


    As Renee examined the still unconscious Hugo, the restaurant patrons pped.


    “Hey, can you guys help me get Hugo inside?” Renee pleaded with the visitors.


    “I’m ready, Master!” One of the men saluted. He was the one who had behaved like a dog begging for food.


    “Master?” One of Renee’s eyes twitched. “What do you mean?”


    The visitors giggled and helped Hugo in. Meanwhile, the crowd of spectators dispersed. Some of them snorted in annoyance that Renee hadn’t done anything more.


    “Please, I don’t like it when people talk about this ability,” Renee said before a visitorplimented her. “I want to be known as a magic-user.”


    “No wonder she is not epted in any party.” Raymund came to a conclusion. “Maybe her magic ability is bad and can only be used for something like that.”


    Renee identally exchanged nces with Elise as she was about to enter the restaurant again. Slowly, the mage’s eyes opened wider, fixated on the sword on Elise’s back. She suddenly grabbed the green-eyed woman’s hands.


    “Hey, you’re an adventurer, right?” With an enthusiastic voice, Renee nced behind Elise. “Where are your party mates? Are you alone? Do you need apanion!?”


    Hearing those rapid words and seeing Renee’s pleading eyes, Elise was speechless,


    “Forget everything you saw earlier! I am a capable mage!”
