The bar didn't seem bad at all. Ayeseru would even stretch it to say it appeared like a pretty friendly place! Though, appearances are deceiving... He felt very weak magical presences, and some other stronger ones. Two in particular were the ones that struck worry. Hmm... I wonder what those two mages desire. It could be a simple drink, though, from previous experience, I should keep my guard up. He neglected the thought of them possibly attacking; resuming back to a human and solid state before taking an empty seat on an empty table.
He sighed deeply at the thought he'd be alone at a place where friends go by. "Eh... I don't really need anyone else, anyways." He said quietly. He listened to the drunken laughter and words of the people occupying the bar as he was waiting for a waitress to take his order. He ordered a simple beer due to his lack of knowledge of alcohol. He also gave her a tip as soon as his order was taken which brought a smile across her face. A few minutes later, she came out of the kitchen with Ayeseru's beer.
Meanwhile, a group of men who were two tables in front of Ayeseru were laughing and chatting away. When the waitress came by, one of the men swooped the drink from her tray. "Ho ho, what do we have here? A free drink? For me? You're too kind!" he said as he sluggishly drank the beer. "But... Sir... That isn't for you, and you're going to have to pay for that." she replied in fear, most likely having been in a similar situation beforehand. "Hoo? Talking back, are we?!" He grabbed her arm with more force than necessary and twisted it to the point where her body was touching his to relieve pain.
The bar froze for a moment. No one was really doing anything, apart from the waitress who was making sounds of pain. "Now... Say you're sorry, and I might consider letting you off!" the same man said in an annoyed, drunken tone. "Well, say it!!!" he shouted. "I'm sorry..." she said quietly, tears in her eyes. "What's that? I can't hear yoouuu!" he teased in a cruel way.
Ayeseru clutched his fist and gritted his teeth. Even though this man was drunk, there was no excuse to be treating a lady that way. Before the waitress could utter another word, he stood up, and slowly walked towards the man. "Hmm? What do you want?" the drunken man asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone. "Let her go." Ayeseru uttered. "Eh?! Or what?!" he shouted out in an angry tone.
Not bothering to answer the question, Ayeseru was already next to him; a fist flying towards the mans face. The force was so great, he was sent flying through the bars wall, and instantly knocked out. His four other friends then stood up opposing Ayeseru, which, mind you, didn't work out so well for them. Two of them gave an attempt to punch the side of Ayeseru's head from opposite directions, and Ayeseru's body being a shadow, you can imagine what the result was.
They fell flat on their faces, clutching them as they screamed. The remaining two men were mages, at least. Earth mages who had the ability to turn their fists into stones. They charged directly towards Ayeseru, only to have their faces grabbed and their heads being slammed first onto a table which broke on impact.
Most of the bar stared dumbfounded, others weren't too impressed. He helped the girl get back up and gave her twice the amount of money needed to buy a beer. "Go fetch me another one of those, please." he said quietly. The girl nodded and headed towards the back; Ayeseru took his time to drag the men outside of the bar, before resuming back to his previous spot.
By that time, the bar had gone back to normal, and his drink was already at the table, with a note saying "Thank you." on it. The three major powers were now quite visible to him, too. One of them was an old council member, which brought him shivers. If he deemed Ayeseru's actions to be incorrect, then he could be in trouble. The other one, which was no one near as powerful, but had more magic than your average man, was a teenage kid, who was trying to get lucky with the third and final power, an attractive red headed woman.
That's probably not going to end too well for him...
He shrugged and took a deep drink from his beer.
