Chapter 11

Her longing for her parents and brothers was quite indescribable. It was too great for her to bear. She missed them already.
Even though she already knew to herself that it wouldn't change anything, she was still hoping. Still delusioning. She still couldn't accept it. It was too hard. Really. It was like..., you were having a fun with them in the morning but in the afternoon, they already gone as if they didn't exist.
She exhaled heavily. I need to move forward. I need to be stronger, since being stronger than those scums of Feronia Kingdom means I have the chance of avenging my family and clansmen.
Because she now knew that the florid rings were originally storage rings and she already became its owner, she store the manuals and treasures back to its original positions through putting the rings mid-air. Then she placed the two florid rings into her ring finger. The florid rings were adjustable, so there was no problem putting the rings together.
Few minutes later, she finished her bathing and changing of clothes too. She walked back to her room and put some medicines on her cuts and scratches. She swathed the cut on her knee as it was too revealing, unlike the others.
Before leaving the room to eat breakfast, she already wore the red cloak along with its hood. She doesn't want anyone to recognize her even in a slightest possible just to ensure her safety.
"I was just thankful that I didn't bother to wash my face and didn't take my hood off. If not, maybe my looks were already seen or recognized by the owner earlier." she mumbled to herself.
When the owner, who was busy serving foods to the other customer, saw the nameless woman in a red cloak coming out, she immediately went into her without a bit of hesitance that made the other customers frowned.
"Miss, is there any food you'd like to eat?" the owner asked with a wide smile.
"Anything will do," Lucelle simply answered as she sat down at the empty chair and table.
After hearing that, the owner quickly left to prepare her distuingish dishes.
Lucelle could the feel the frightening and threatening stares made by the customers to her.
If stares could kill a person, then she would already died.
However, as it was normal for her or she had been used to it especially the malicious and envious stares of the nobles of Feronia Kingdom back then, she just let them be.
The stares of the nobles were worse than the stares they're giving right now.
In the midst of Lucelle's of eating roasted chicken, a group of five middle-age men couldn't endure anymore. They were envious of the special treatment the owner gave to her. They stood up from their own seats and went into Lucelle which was two tables apart from each other. They encircled the table Lucelle was in, making her to stop eating but never had an interest to take a glance to see their faces.
"Hey! I'm fully annoyed right now, so answer me. Why the hell the owner is giving you a special care while we aren't? Did you gave her something?" a man with an enormous body stated and seemed like a leader of the group.
But Lucelle remained silent.
"Isn't simple, boss?" the youngest among them uttered, "You know a rich person can buy anything and can bribe anyone, while we, penniless people have to suffer a lot before we can think of buying or eating."
"Hmmm... You have a point, youngest brother," the boss said but realized something, "Wait... Did you call us penniless?"
The youngest immediately shook his head, "No, no, no. You heard it wrong boss!"
Then the second-in-command smacked the youngest, "Stop talking shits, bastard."
While the third member uttered, "Boss, look carefully at this person wearing a red cloak? Did you notice anything."
"Oh? From that kind of figure, one can tell that this person is a woman," the boss answered after looking at her body.
"Yeah..." the fourth brother agreed, "That kind of body we always hoping to conquere!"
"But we still don't if she is a beauty. Maybe she has scars on her face or she's just naturally ugly," said by the second-in-command.
"We can just force her to remove the hood, right?" the youngest implied.
"If you say it like that, people will think that we bully a woman. HAHAHA!"
"Will you shut up and go away?" Lucelle firmly asked, but felt like an order. She was really annoyed after listening to their blabbering to the point she couldn't withstand to stay in silence.
"Woah! What a hot-tempered woman she is!" the third brother stated.
"But she has a nice voice, so naturally she is a beauty!" the youngest exclaimed.
"Get lost or don't blame me for taking action," Lucelle said with a threatening tone.
The five men paused for a moment as if shocked, "HAHAHAHAHA!" and then, laughed loudly that could be heard in the whole inn.
The boss stopped laughing and asked, "And what kind of action can you do with your fragile body and weak strength?" 
Lucelle fixedly responded, "I can burn you into ashes."
And once again, they laughed heavily and loudly, "HAHAHA! Are you kidding us?"
"It's not like a fire would appear in front of us." said by the fourth brother.
"Wait..." the yongest spoke out, "Maybe she's a magician or  she has a trick that can produce fire?"
Lucelle paused as soon as she heard the youngest's words and realized something. I must not use my fire freely or visibly to anyone as much as I can.
She sighed and denied, "I'm not a magician nor I can produce fire. But despite that, I can easily beat the likes of you."
The group couldn't help but to show a rage expressions. Their eyes that would pop out at any second and veins that were almost bursted.
"What an arrogant woman!"
"Where the hell does this woman got the confident of beating us?"
"Did your parents not taught you manners? Or are they just like you, an insolent and narrow-sighted?"
After hearing the latter phrase, Lucelle found herself in a rampage state. She felt nothing but the needs of ripping their mouth and beating the hell out of them.
No one can talk bad to my parents!They already gone in this world but these bastards dared to talk shits about my parents who taught me everything. I shall not spare them even if I will use my power!
She stood up from her seat and quickly took the cup of water in the table. The cold water changed into hot as soon as she touched the cup. Then, she poured the all the hot water inside of the cup on the boss' head.
The other customers who were watching them from the beginning found the scene amusing and interesting. But some of them pitied the woman in red cloak because her enemies were a group of five men that had huge muscles and for sure, had many experiences in battles.
As shocked and angry the boss was, he ordered his group members, "Capture this woman and tie her after. Let her know the consequences of offending us, men who have not release desires for a week already!"
Aside from the boss, the other members took out knives and ropes which was hidden on their clothes.
"Let me go first," the youngest member confidently said and rushed toward her with a knife.
Lucelle was already in a defence stance. She hiddenly enwrapped her body with magic power, no ordinary knives couldn't penetrate her skin. She didn't infuse the red cloak because it became dazzling and noticeable in others' eyes. She doesn't want them to know her identity, a woman who were able to use magic.
Being a fire-attribute user doesn't mean that you couldn't use other attributes like water, nature, wind and etc. Regarding, one could use external help like attributed artifacts. There were even some lucky people who were able to wield two ot three attributes. And more than three, they were a once-in-a-millenuim genius. However, the more attributes one could had, the more terrifying s/he would become but also, the more complicated it was to level up the circle or magic power. Nevertheless, being a single attribute user could fully master their attribute as they only had to focus solely on it, making them a lot more powerful than others.
And just like attributes, being a magician doesn't mean one had a fragile body. They could just train their body endlessly or taking elixirs like body strengthing, just like what magic warriors had been doing. They could also use artifacts to shield themselves if their body was weak such as the blazing red cloak Lucelle was wearing.
And just like that, Lucelle, a single attribute user, blocked the youngest's attack with her arms. Before the youngest could try to launch another attack, Lucelle whacked his neck that made him fell down on the floor unconsciously.
"H-how can that be?!" the second-in-command yelled while fear was obvious on his face.
"Did my eyes deceive me?!" the third brother uttered as his sweats started to drop.
"Fear not, guys!" the boss shouted at the other three, "Even though she defeated one of us, the one she defeated is our youngest and the weakest among us. Moreover, there's no way she can defeat the four of us!"
The second-in-command nodded, reassuring himsef that the boss' words were true, "Boss is right. She's alone while there are still four of us. So let's fight together alongside with the boss."
Lucelle spoke out, "Are you done chatting there? I'm already bored listening to your words."
"This bitch's mouth... I will rip that apart!" shouted by the boss while he and his other members dashed together along with knives.
Lucelle skillfully and confidently dodged their consecutive attacks. When the enemies paused for a moment to take a breathing, she took the chance to grab the roasted chicken's leg bone.
She used a bit of magic force onto the leg bone before throwing it to the enemy, the fourth brother of the group. And even though the fourth brother tried his best to dodge the attack, he still got hit on his shoulder making the blood flowed out. In addition, he couldn't move as the leg bone was attached into the wooden wall.
"F-fourth brother!" the third brother shouted as soon as he saw the bledding brother.
"Ahhhh..." the fourth brother screamed in pain, "It's o-okay. I can still fight."
"Die, you bitch!" the third brother yelled and lunged at her with intention of throwing the chair he picked right beside him.
