"You look good Eludione i almost didn't recognize you" Venus complimented to which Eludione only smile as a response.
"Now let's go" Venus lead Eludione back to the main hall where the people earlier was cheering but now the people seems to subside as they talk from one another. Venus and Eludione approach the two middle age men facing the opposite direction to which Venus pat them on their back.
"May i present you the new and improve Eludione Winslow" She said with hand gestures as she didn't even bother if she look like a fool.
"What a handsome kid" Hambris complimented while Captain Li nod in approval as he stared at him from head to toe. Elias suddenly came out of nowhere and approach the group.
"What happen earlier?" Elias ask as he barely recall what happen to him. How did he loss conscious and did the he win? but once he saw Eludione looking at him indifferently. It tells him otherwise that he didn't. He was a bit angry because it hurt his pride.
"Ohh nothing... you just got beaten by a child. That's all" Venus said as if she was discussing the weather while staring at her fingernails. Geez why does she need to point it out.
"Well.. your lucky" Elias said to Eludione while the kid was only looking at him as if he was an air. Elias got irritated by second as he stared at this boy's careless expression as if he owned the world and nothing can touch him.
"Really what kind of ability do you have lad?" ask Hambris.
"Alpha ability type" Venus said enthusiastically.
"Ohh were bless then mate" The fat man said. While Eludione look at the big man on front of him at first he notice his tattoos but now his eye went on the top of his head where he saw a corn like hair that almost went bald from time. He knew that other colored haired people were called as anomaly in this city because the people mostly live here have black hair and black eyes. Eludione didn't think much into it, especially that everything happens in this city is not normal.
A middle age man with a skinny built walk toward them with a smile on his face when he saw Captain Li. He pat him on his shoulder and smiles at his comrades.
"Afternoon Venus, Hambris, Elias... and who is this little lad" The skinny man said as he look at Eludione with curiosity.
"He is our new member. Eludione Winslow" Captain Li introduced.
"How young! Do you think he would last a day outside, especially the monsters roamed outside like our ancestors warned about" the skinny man look at him with judgement in his eyes that seems to be a dark pool.
"He would be ok Captain Chen.. his ability is quite extraordinary" Captian Li said with a rare smile on his lips as if mocking him.
"Really then what would that be"
"It's too early for that, especially this boy exhaust himself from the fight with Elias"
"Is that so... Well then let me introduce my new member. Meet Miria Bracket" Captain Chen said as he gesture for the young girl that is no older than Eludione on the crowd. The girl have red hair and mesmerizing green eyes, she looks quite lovely with her innocent face. Venus look at the girl on front of her with recognition but refuse to show it. The girl bow nervously as if she was been criticized from her body to her soul.
"H..Hello sir" She said softly.
"And i though you defy the though of recruiting children" Hambris joke which Captain Chen only gave him a smile that seems to be fake.
And Eludione knew that there is something going on with this two respected leaders.
"Not at all Hambris i only recruit them if they seems fit.. right Miria" Captain Chen nudge Miria's elbow while she nods timidly.
"Why don't you show her little one that you are fit to be in my group" Captain Chen said as his eyes filled with pride. Suddenly Captain Chen pulled out a knife which earns the attention of everyone attentively as he prick his own palm. The crimson red liquid ooze out from his palm slowly as it gets thicker and thicker every minute. Captain Chen nod at Miria to which Miria nod frantically as a replay. Miria put her hand on Captain Chen's shoulder as suddenly the blood stop oozing and Captain Chen wipe his wounded hand where there should have been a cut but impossibly and miraculously there wasn't even a scar. Everyone seems to be amaze from this girl trick but a certain someone wasn't.
"An Alpha type ability!" Hambris exclaim. "What luck it is, seems like the twelve factions have some tramp cards on their sleeves" Hambris said merely to which Captain Chen look at them with suspicion.
"Really then you also have someone with Alpha ability type on your group" He said as he look at the boy who look indifferently on his surrounding.
"It's good news indeed that we have powerful allies in our group" Captain Li said like he was stating the weather. "Well if you excuse as Captain Chen we'll be taking our leave" Captain Li excuse and walk away as his subordinates follow.
