Elemental Hero in Teyvat

Sekai is currently heading towards the Knight of Favonius headquarter right now after yesterday incident. He gives his report to Jean about their encounter with several Abyss Mages in the temple.

After finishing his report, Sekai meets with Aether, which the Honorary Knight retell him about the Holy lyre and how it relates in dealing with Stormterror. 

Paimon chime in that, they should meet up with Venti at the tavern for more details.

As soon the trio entered the Traven Sekai's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the same red-haired man that attack him in the temple while the man himself just smirk at him.

Sekai: You're that old man I saw at that temple yesterday.

???: Brat… I see you in for more beating!

Sekai: You know what old man, let's settle this!

???: Very well, let's finish this brat!

While the situation between Sekai and Red-haired man begin to heat up, new voice shout making both swordman stop from attacking each other.

They both turned around and saw Acting Grandmaster with bard behind her.

???: Jean

Sekai: Acting Grandmaster Jean, what are you doing here? It's still working hour, right?

Jean: Master Diluc, I like you to meet Sekai Silver, he's the one that help us again with Stormterror and he's adventurer for hire that I told you about.

Diluc: I see, first I thought he was a Fatui as he looks like one. Additionally, he uses delusion.

Sekai: For the last time I'm not Fatui! And for your information I don't even know what delusion is.

Diluc: Then what is that on your hand if not delusion?!

Sekai: You mean this?!

Sekai shows his watch towards Diluc.

Diluc: Yup that is delusion.

Sekai: Old man! Are you going senile! This is watch, it tells time and so on. Or this nation called watch delusion?

Diluc: You brat!! Its delusion because it let you control elements without used of vision.

Sekai: What?! Now I have more question. First of all, if controlling element need for vision its means you also have vision right, including Aether?

Diluc: Yup. 

Diluc pick up his Pryo vision from his waist and show it toward him. 

Aether: I don't have vision though.

Paimon: That because you are outlander, Aether. You are special.

Aether: Hehe… thanks Paimon.

Sekai: Then?! Can anyone explain to me what actually vision & delusion. How it related to Fatui.

Jean: *sigh* Let me explain, Visions are jeweled amulets which allow their users to directly channel the power of one of the seven Elements that is pyro, cryo, dendro, anemo, geo, and hydro. They are bestowed by Seven Archons to people of Teyvat with particularly powerful desires. While delusions are powerful, Vision-like objects produced by the Fatui. Their production method and the number in circulation is unknown. Delusions grant their wielders the ability to manipulate certain elements, but unlike Visions, they can be used by anyone. However, Delusions have immense and potentially lethal drawbacks in exchange for their power, possibly draining the user's vitality or backfiring on them.

Sekai: So, Vision is created and given by archon to chosen one, while delusion is created by human who didn't have vision to say "Fuck You Archon", if I not the chosen one, I will become one myself.

Sekai: Both of things give ability to control elemental energy, but delusion come with price. Old man thinks I'm fatui because I have something look like delusion which can only be produce by Fatui. Yeah… Old man you are racist.

Diluc: Brat! Fatui is bad people, you don't know what they have done!! In the first place what you hold is delusion, not only that, but you can also control multiple element and special element at that!

Sekai: Old man… stop being racist it's not good for your health… Let just say my vision is in the form of watch. As for why I can wield multiple elements, just think I'm special. 

The Silver Adventure making an exaggerate sigh, while shaking his head in mock disappointment.

Aether and Paimon start laughing at the background.

Diluc: Brat!!... you!!

Jean: *chuckle* Anyway Sekai, I assume you already meet ol—ehem… Master Diluc back at the temple, right?

Sekai: Yeah, a grumpy old man tried to cut me in half.

He grumbles when suddenly the green-color bard walk towards Jean, Diluc, Aether and Paimon and ask how their day went.

Sekai: Hey guys, who is this undefine gender person?

???: Hey that rude!

Sekai: Yeesh, well sorry not sorry.

???: Hey!! But as long as you open tab for me, we can be buddy… hehehe.

Sekai: *deadpan* huh?

???: *pouting* Oh come on! Anyway, name Venti, nice to meet you!!

He said as he held his hand towards Sekai.

Sekai: Sekai Silver, nice to meet you too Venti.

He said while take the handshake, when suddenly his watch blink in blue color, and he somehow detect something was off on Venti. He has a scent of elemental anemo on him.

Venti visibly flinches as he detects Sekai smell something from him. But try to divert his attention by speaking towards them all. Venti starts to explain the situation to them, but Diluc explain that the Jean before them acting as Jean not Acting Grandmaster. Jean tells them that she is doing this in private. Likewise, she believes their cause as she is aware of Dvalin's past, while Sekai asks about the lyre but both Aether and Venti sweatdrop on what happened to it as Sekai noticed it and asked what happened to it.

The air in the tavern was tense. Aether, Paimon, and Sekai sat around the table, their expressions ranging from exhausted to utterly exasperated. Across from them, Venti gave a nervous chuckle, scratching the back of his head.

Venti: S-so… t-that's what happened… hehe…

Sekai's brow twitched. His fingers curled into a fist, trembling as he processed everything he just heard.

Sekai: …Wait… Wait… WAIT—!

Suddenly, he slammed his hands on the table, causing the nearby patrons to jump in surprise.

Sekai: YOU USELESS DRUNKARD BARD!!

Venti: W-whoa! No need for such harsh words—

Sekai: NO NEED?! My buddy here just risked his lives sneaking into the most tightly guarded area of Mondstadt's cathedral, dodging knights, avoiding a terrifying nun, fighting guards—ALL to steal the Holy Lyre, and what happens? He loses it immediately!

Aether: (tired sigh) Yeah… pretty much.

Paimon: Ugh… Don't remind Paimon…

Sekai: And whose idea, was it? WHO thought it was a brilliant plan to send him into the Highly guarded part of the Church without ANY backup?!

Sekai turned his glare toward Venti, his eyes practically burning with rage.

Venti: (weak chuckle) Uhh… w-well, technically, Traveler were the ones who—

Sekai: DO NOT EVEN TRY TO BLAME HIM FOR THIS!!

The entire tavern went silent. Even Diluc, who had been polishing a glass behind the counter, paused to watch the scene unfold.

Sekai: First, you tell him to STEAL a priceless relic! Not borrow. Not negotiate for it. No, you wanted them to break into a sacred place and commit GRAND THEFT ARTIFACT!!

Venti: (pouting) Well, when you put it like that, it sounds bad…

Sekai: BECAUSE IT WAS BAD!! And THEN, after they somehow managed to snatch it without being caught—BOOM! The Fatui swoops in like a bunch of crows and steals it from them instead!

Aether: That part really sucked…

Paimon: Yeah! We didn't even get to enjoy the "stealing" part before we got stolen from!

Sekai: (fuming) And where were YOU, Venti?! Oh yeah, just standing there, completely useless while a certain Cicin Mage walked off with our prize!!

Venti: (grumbling) …I was trying to be stealthy…

Sekai: Stealthy?! STEALTHY?! You're a bard! Not a ninja! What did you think was going to happen, that she'd just politely hand it back if you asked nicely?!

Venti: (muttering) …Would've been nice…

Sekai: (groaning) Archons above… You know, for an actual Archon, you sure do have the decision-making skills of a drunk pigeon!!

Venti: Hey!! That's unfair! Pigeons have great instincts!

Sekai: Oh, my bad. That's an insult to pigeons!

Aether covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing, while Paimon openly snickered.

Jean, who had been walking past the tavern, stopped outside the window and blinked.

Jean: Is… is Venti getting scolded by a Sekai?

Diluc: He deserves it.

Aether: Agreed.

Sekai: And now, thanks to you, we have NOTHING! No Lyre. No plan. And worst of all—

Before anyone could react, Sekai's hand shot out and snatched Venti's drink off the table.

Sekai: "YOU DIDN'T EVEN INVITE ME ON THE OPERATION!!"

The entire tavern went silent. Even Diluc, who already continue polishing a glass, paused mid-wipe. Jean's eyes widened slightly, while Aether and Paimon exchanged looks.

Venti blinked.

Venti: H-huh?

Sekai took a deep breath, dramatically placing a hand on his chest.

Sekai: I mean, sure, breaking into a heavily guarded cathedral is crazy, risky, and borderline heretical—but come on! You didn't think I'd want in on the fun?"

Aether: *coughed*So… you're mad about not being invited?

Sekai crossed his arms, huffing.

Sekai: Of course I'm mad! If we're going to commit crimes against Mondstadt's religious order, at least let me contribute!

Venti raised a hesitant finger.

Venti: Technically, I'm the Archon of Mondstadt, so—

Sekai: THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

Paimon: Wait, isn't the point that we failed?

Sekai: THAT TOO!

Jean, still trying to process the sheer absurdity of what was happening, muttered, "Wow…"

Diluc, on the other hand, smirked slightly.

Aether nodded. "Agreed."

Venti looked devastated—not from the scolding, but because Sekai still had his wine. With a sigh, Sekai smell the wine and show disgusted expression.

Sekai: Ugh. How can you drink this swill?

Venti: Gasp—! (reaching out dramatically) My beloved drink…!

Sekai: You're GROUNDED!! No alcohol until we fix this mess!!

Venti: NOOOOOOOOO!!

Paimon: Paimon supports this decision!

Sekai: Damn right you do.

Aether: Same.

As Venti sulked, Sekai sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
