"So… let's look for a place to stay! I don't think you would want to stay on the streets?" Madara decided as he can't just let these five kids follow him wherever he goes.

Madara strolled through the town's bustling streets where people buying and selling the stuff like their life were on here.

The streets were what anyone would think of like, there were people with younger slaves as they whip them if they dont work or to their expectation or if they feel like.

"Get to work! Do you think you get food for slacking off? At Least be worth the money I bought you for." Shouted a burly man with scorn on his face as he smiles.

The slave in mention was a female one maybe 19 or 20 years old, the scars on her face and hands were clearly visible and the tattered clothes that ripped from the whip.

There were not just female slaves but men too though the men were looking a lot stronger than the female one as the male one had muscle.

If it is by muscle even Madara weren't that far off as though he have strength and power his muscles weren't that burly or too big but average build and slim one.

Madara looked at the children and noticed them as they looked at the food on the stalls with their eyes but not daring to even ask for it or letting their voice out.

"There should be an Inn here somewhere." Madara looked around but he wasn't able to locate the Inn here, he got all the small info from the bandits.

For now he should get an adventurer card as it can work as an identity, and even though he doesn't he would have to get one to buy a small home to drop these children off somewhere.

….

After going around for some more minutes Madara was finally able to locate what was called Inn, a place to stay for the children and where the children will be able to eat something.

And in all honesty it doesn't really look like the place to stay with its shabby appearance, but maybe it is the best he can get in this shitty rundown town.

Madara steps forward as he opens the wooden gate of the Inn and enters with five children behind him, they look more scared now than before.

All kinds of what would be called adventurers were in this place drinking and eating while some sat as two while some sat with their whole team for talking and eating.

Madara with his attire has already attracted some of the eyes and some eyes were attracted to the children behind him.

Madara reached the counter where an old burly man stood cleaning the cup and asked or to be more accurate, it sounded like demand with his tone, "Biggest room here."

Before the burly man could answer Madara took out the pouch he got/took from bandits and all the coins he took from the all dead bandits bodies.

And thump it against the wooden structure in front of him and said, "meals for the kids and warm clothes."

"Huh! Another weirdo! We don't sell clothes and what do you think this is? It is an inn not to stay and eat, not a clothes shop…" before he could say anything more he looked at the man's eyes and instantly looked like he forgot what he was saying.

The burly man just took the pouch not even checking if there was money in it or not and said with a normal tone as if everything was alright, "second floor, the last room in the corner. I will send the food and clothes there."

"Hmm! Another rich kid came to experience the adventure in the outside world, though he sure got some nasty taste to get kids as a slave for a meat shield." A man with one broken tooth in the middle said with a crooked smile while looking at the children.

Madara ignored the comment and just began to move to his designated room with children behind him.

The man with one missing tooth didn't take kindly as some nobody high on the horse. The new kid just ignored and placed his foot in the way to make him trip or something on the floor but Madara didn't even look as he just moved and just stepped on the foot making the bone crack.

"Ahhh! Fuuucck my foot! You broke my foot." The man broke out in pain as he grabbed his foot, and the People with him didn't take kindly to this provocation of some new kid just harming their companion or whatever they are.

But it is all just a scheme pf there to get some money or rob some nobody who don't know the way of the world.

The big man who looks strong with just his muscles stands up and stands in Madata's way as he says with a mocking tone.

"Hey hey hey! You can't just leave after hurting someone, you know how much a healing potion or church healing cost nowdays to fix a broken bone."

While the big muscle man was standing in front the other members of their group were circling him from all sides.

….

Madara and the five children were now fully circled by the crooked smile guy members, on their face the crooked and scary smile for the children while some were just there to just prove their dominance.

"You sure! From what I saw he was the one who placed his foot in front." Madara tried to reason it's not like he was scared, on the contrary being scared wasn't even in his mind when the group circled him.

The children were scared, those children just got out of something pretty terrible and now they can't even take a moment to rest.

"What the fuck are you saying!? You were the one who broke his bone when he was just sitting there. Everyone in here saw it," he then looked at everyone saying something with his eyes and then spoke again, "hey you… didn't you see it?" He looked at the table with one man sitting idle, not wanting any trouble with this group he just said what the person wanted to hear.

"Yes! It's his fault." said the idle man and then continued his idle time while looking in that direction wanting to know how much they would beat the black haired man.

"Did I ask for confirmation from someone?" Madara asked as he looked directly at the big muscle man.

"Still talking back? huh! Well if you give us everything you have and those demi human childs, we will graciously overlook this matter." Said the burly man while eyeing the children.

"Yes.. yes! you are right! Give us everything you have and we will let you go!" Said one another man who was in the encirclement.

"Yess! I heard that demi-human goes for a higher price in the slave market and if they are girls and young too… then it is just even better." Said another man in the encirclement with his creepy eyes looking at the children.

The talk was going from the man to children and then talking about selling them. Children who were scared were now clinging to Madara's leg.

"Do you understand the situation you are in, boy?" Of course from other's perspective madara was nothing but a 19-20 year old boy and with his body being slim even though clad in samurai like crimson armor even with this he wasn't looking that much intimidating or even strong if anything he was looking weak.

The muscle man placed his hand on Madara's shoulder and began to make his grip harder, but no matter how much strength he put Madara's expression didn't change from his usual expression which was that of being getting annoyed.

The muscle man now was being somewhat humiliated as the Madara was ignoring him and not even caring for what he said.

But before he could punch him from his other hand a sudden pain registered in his mind and then his body, it being a little late because even the muscle man didn't notice that the hand that was on Madara's shoulder was now facing the completely opposite side from his usual angle.

After seeing this his body was hit with pain so sudden and unimaginable for him that nothing but shreek of crying were escaping from his vocal cords.

"Ahhhh… my.. my… my… hand… ahhhh" as explained before nothing but cry and pain.

Noticing this all the people encircling Madara from all sides jumped at him after being backed away for a second, but instantly after that one by one every man was falling down on the floor as blood escaped from their mouth or sometimes teeth got broken.

All 6-7 people that were in a group were now on the floor with their teeth broken and fully knocked down.

The only one who was conscious and was in front of madara was the muscle man but that muscle man was now being fully scared, he had never seen someone with this type of weak body taking out seven men in just a few seconds and that too so fast.

There are only Few Of that can do what Madara did, a magician with their magic but that too who is proficient in their magic to a high level.

And some others like heroes. Or like high level adventurers.

The Muscular man stumbled backwards and fell on his butt.

"In exactly what situation I am?" Madara said as he stepped forward and lifted the muscle man with only one hand from his throat, the muscle man unable to answer but only gasping for breath.

Madara didn't even wait for an answer not like he can answer while gasping for breath, Madara punched his face so hard that his teeth gets broken from his mouth and the Madara punched again now his nose being broken.

Again

Again

Again

Again

Again

…

…

…

And just like this the muscular man had no face now that was visible other than being a bloody face, no teeth other than one or two in the back and nose fully broken and eyes so swollen that his eyes were not even opening but he was not dead but was barely alive.

No one came to help those who were in the Inn, not even the Innkeeper daring to intervene, but a girl with strange attire stepped forward as she began to treat the muscle man with healing magic.

And as she healed him she said to Madara, "Even though it was his fault… How… just how can you do that to another person? Didn't your parents taught you any manners or virtue?"

She was wearing a crisp sailor-style blouse with a wide collar trimmed in navy stripes, a neatly tied red ribbon at the chest, and a pleated skirt that swayed just above her knees.

Her knee-high socks and polished black loafers completed the classic schoolgirl look, giving her an air of youthful simplicity and charm.
