Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Hearing this, Avion's eyes brightened, "You're right. Maybe I can find some way of using this to attack." racking his brain up, he remembered his first death. It was repressed to the back of his mind that even though he needs it now, his head was hurting.

That was his first fight and it was against Edora, the Royal Knight-Captain of the Karan Kindom.

Thinking back, he already learned a way of using the stoppage of time to his advantage for taking offense. 

"Don't you have any idea in turning those power into an attack?" the Guild Master asked while he was also thinking of a way when Avion pointed his finger up.

"I may have an idea."

.....

Within the capital and in the Guild, the people became disappointed, "1 cren?" they sighed as they saw in the wanted board only one poster was up. It had the face of an extremely handsome young man and under it was the reward for capturing him alive. It was just a single cren.

There's also a reward for capturing him dead, it was the death penalty. The Riskers became disappointed and also confused. It was like saying that killing Avion is illegal.

Capturing is harder than killing a person.

"And Avion Teller? Isn't that your friend?" a man said to Naron who was stiff as if they were left on the freezer.

Not just him but also Temon and Fobo.

"W-w-w-w-why is Avion wanted now?" like a puppet, Fobo reacted.

"I-I-I-I heard he offended a king or something," Temon replied.

After hearing this, Naron's face turned pale. He suddenly thought of asking Miss Mettany to put down the poster,.. but they were not that thick-faced. Although their confidence rose, that was only on the level of a commoner and having a little accomplishment. They never thought of themselves as people who had real standing in the guild. The least they could do is beg.

Naron looked at the stiff Temon and Fobo and made eye contact. Noticing this, Temon and Fobo both nodded and reached an understanding.

When Naron nodded as well, they began to run. Naron towards Mettany to beg, Temon towards outside to find Avion, and Fobo trying to reach the wanted poster to take it down forcibly.

In the end, it seemed like they never had any understanding of each other's intention.

However, it was too late. Naron already had his head on the floor, Temon was outside, shouting Avion's name over and over again, and worst, Fobo made his pants ripped in half...

It seemed like it wasn't his size and by squatting to jump, he already broke his new pants.

"Noo!!" Fobo despaired as he felt chill on his ass crack.

"Dude, regret it in another position!" people shouted at Fobo as they could see his ass crack.

Seeing no point of return, Naron shouted, "Miss Mettany, I beg you to take the wanted sign down!"

Meanwhile outside, Temon was panicking, "Avion! Avion! Where are you, Avion Teller?!" he was relentlessly shouting in the streets but most people ignored him. This kind of scene wasn't rare, after all, they have no phone back then, and only Rank Dih Elementalists and above has the capability of long-distance communication.

"Who are you trying to find?" an elderly out of the crowd walked over in concern. If Temon still looked like a bum as before, he wouldn't attract this kind of treatment.

"I need to find Avion!" Temon shouted.

"Who?"

"Avion Teller!"

"What's the name?"

"Avion Teller!"

"Avion Temer? Kuh! Kuh!" 

"Grandpa!" a little girl came to him and worriedly said, "You don't need to work yourself this much!" she cried.

"Granddaughter, you need to learn from Grandpa that you need to do whatever you can to help another." the Grandpa stood heroically, but his back was hunched.

"Grandpa..."

"Kuh! Kuh!"

"Don't make a cool one-liner!" 

"Little girl, what is happening to your Grandpa?" Temon asked, scared of what he was seeing.

"Grandpa gets sick whenever he tried to escape from being a background character!" 

"Oh....." Temon immediately lost interest, "Little girl, have you seen Avion Teller?"

"What? Avion Temer? Kuh!"

"Grandpa!"

.....

Mettany sighed. Seeing Naron on the floor made her remember how hopeless she was too.

"I'm sorry, but the bounty on Avion's head is demanded by Princess Alisera, representing the Crown Council and the Three Kingdoms," Mettany said with her voice clear and loud, wanting others to know too.

"What?"

"It's the beautiful princess that made the bounty?"

"You think we will get closer to her if we get Avion?"

"I have to go!"

The men were getting riled up and the guild began to get messy. Mettany frowned which an aura of someone who could freeze the whole country of Haliviana burst and this made the men stop.

Mettany didn't expect this kind of reaction from the men. She thought that by making it known that it was just the princess' selfish request and abuse of power, people will retaliate at this.

"Please, do not run and shout in the guild," Mettany said with her usual cold tone.

She was, after all, the student of the Guild Master who practiced intimidation as a rare skill.

By then, the men felt pressure and made them whisper, "Let's get out of here."

They were still not deterred from thinking of capturing Avion alive. One cren was a stupid reward but being it Princess Alisera's one cren made it special for men. They were there when they saw the princess enter the capital.

She was gorgeous enough to make every man fall for her even though they know that she was just a spoiled brat. And they also know that she would not marry another royalty but from the mass, she fell in love with. This is because of the agreement between kingdoms.

So she abusing her power is within their expectation that they didn't care about it that much.

Men slowly came out of the guild and when they were out, they were run as fast as they could. If they could get the princess' attention and have a small chance of courting her, they would do almost everything!

"Fobo! We can't let them know where Avion is!" Naron stood up and pulled Fobo away.

Temon saw the surge of people searching for Avion and a competitive spirit burned within him. He didn't want to lose so he shouted more.

"Where's Avion Teller!?"
