The atmosphere around the function hall abruptly became heavy.
Rosie glanced at the surrounding crowd. Upon noticing that she was subconsciously releasing her domineering aura that's enough to stifle the fresh recruit to the point some of the recruit passed out on the spot. Rosie swiftly adjusted her composure.
'Odd, why do I feel that there was someone gazing at me intensely; however, it should be difficult for the appraisal user to peer at me.'
Rosie proclaimed to herself, as she stared at the huge function hall for a few good more minutes.
When she noticed that there was no more abnormality in the surrounding place; Rosie subsequently loosened her guard down.
Kiro, who was sweating profusely after experiencing the overbearing aura of Rosie. Kiro helplessly released a long sigh.
"...Haa, didn't you say that I would not get in trouble if I used the new appraisal skill on her?" Kiro complained to Fixie. He couldn't confront Rosie's piercing glare directly; Kiro was so nervous that he thought if he were to behave oddly, the suspicion of Rosie might be directed at him.
"I—I don't know Master! Possibly because Rosie is much stronger than Fixie thought she would be." Fixie exclaimed her innocence; nevertheless, she too was so appalled while observing Rosie's reaction. "Though it is a good thing the undetected appraisal feature worked, right? Master!"
Hearing Fixie's reasonable explanation, Kiro thought that her words made some sense; if not for the new feature of the appraisal skill, Kiro might get caught by Rosie at that time, if he did not listen to Fixie's advice.
"Mm—I don't blame you, Fixie; don't have to worry about it," Kiro assured; still, he was thankful to her. If not for Fixie, he might be in a difficult situation on the first day he saw Rosie.
"Thank you; Fixie, if it wasn't for you—I might end up being miserable on various occasions upon arriving in this world." Kiro proclaimed his sincere appreciation to Fixie.
"Heehee~ Fixie is a good lady that will always help Master! So better praise Fixie more; every now and then." She said with a tone that did not hide her happiness.
Hearing Fixie's whimsical voice, Kiro felt warm deep inside.
Subsequently waiting for Rosie to leave the place, Kiro glanced at the transparent screen in front of him.

"Wa—what? My appraisal skill wasn't enough to peer at Rosie?" Kiro exclaimed his bewilderment. He could not believe after upgrading his appraisal to the second stage. He still cannot probe her.
"Like Fixie's thought, Rosie wasn't your average woman, Master!" Fixie uttered her astonishment upon seeing her status bar.
"Well, I can see that—I mean look at her title; it says, Guild Master!" Kiro pointed out Rosie's disturbing title.
While Kiro was still shaken after seeing Rosie's status bar. Fixie released another bombshell. "That's not all Master! Look at her name, she is a nobility."
"Ye—yeah, so how am I supposed to approach her now?" Once Kiro mentioned those words, he understood that it would be hard for him to take advance to a person like Rosie.
"Mm—It will be harder than the original plan; however, don't lose hope, Master! As long as you listen to the Great Fixie! Master won't need to worry about Rosie," Fixie asserted her grand plan to pursue beauty.
"Hm, I don't know, I'm starting to doubt the Great Fixie, after this event; the credibility of Fixie's words dimmed slightly." Kiro teased her back for getting ahead of herself.
"What does Master know! Become a frozen statue in front of the beauty? Hee~ good luck with that." Fixie rebuked Kiro mercilessly.
The moment Kiro heard Fixie's remark, he could not help to feel ashamed of himself. Kiro knew what Fixie said was the truth. He could not even interact straight to Rosie; therefore, instead of annoying the little Fixie, Kiro acknowledged his mistake.
"Alright, Fixie's correct, I can't do this without you." Kiro expressed his resignation, at the same time, it was the truth that Kiro can't do anything without Fixie's guidance.
"Hehehe, don't worry Master! Fixie won't fail you!"

When everything was concluded, Kiro went back to the beginner's training lounge.
When he arrived at the familiar cottage, there he saw a two women figure, but to his surprise, it wasn't Alyva's group.
"Hello there," One of the two people outside of the cottage said.
"Hello, I'm Kiro, do you guys know where Aldin and the rest are?" Kiro said. He first thought that he went in the wrong direction, but given with his enhanced brain, the probability of him getting lost was almost impossible.
"Aldin? Are you referring to the guy with a clumsy appearance, who uses a sword?"
When he heard her describe Aldin, Kiro could not help but let out a soft laugh.
"That's right it is him, do you know where I can find that clumsy swordsman?" Kiro threw a joke, but after stating those words; he heard a familiar voice.
"Who are you calling a clumsy swordsman!"
Glancing behind his back, Kiro saw Aldin and his group.
"Welcome back, Alyva, Alina." One of the two-person said.
"We're back Mirabell, Missa," Alyva replied softly, then glancing at Kiro who finally went back to their camp. "Welcome back Kiro." She said while observing Kiro from top to bottom. Alyva could not believe the drastic change of Kiro's bearing. His posture right now was filled with fortitude, as for his eyes that were sharp as a blade, Alyva could not help to wonder what kind of training he did, to attain his current demeanor.
Alyva could not even recognize it was Kiro who was talking to the siblings, while they were walking their way to the cottage.
But after seeing his familiar black hair and pitch-black eyes. Alyva is now sure that the person who was talking to the siblings was Kiro. Behind her is Alina, who is looking curiously at him; since the event at that time, Alina did not have many chances to have a proper conversation with Kiro.
"I'm back, Alyva, Aldin, Alina," Kiro called out their names, while his gaze stopped at the familiar figure of Alina.
"W-welcome back, Kiro," Alina shyly replied, she was still embarrassed to discuss with Kiro; she could not help to vividly recollect Kiro's figure that day; every time she glanced at him.
She was only a young maiden, her only interaction with the opposite gender when she was working at the wooden hatch pub; however, every time someone took advantage of her, Alina wouldn't sit idle and do nothing. For that reason, she always got into trouble.
"Yes, I'm back," He said while smiling at her. Kiro wouldn't let this opportunity go, he wanted to mend their misunderstanding before it's too late.
But Aldin was the type of person who can't read the mood. Glancing at Kiro, Aldin called him out.
"Hey Kiro, it's been a while, how did your training go?" Aldin said. He's been wondering since then, for what kind of training Kiro was receiving from the infamous Invincible A-ranker.
"It's been a while Aldin. My training went smoothly, the old man finally let me go after I defeated the white wolf." Kiro replied back, but deep inside he could not help to curse Aldin for not reading the mood.
Glancing at the siblings behind his back, Kiro asked. "Who are they?"
"Oh, they are Mirabell and Missa, after you left, the two of them joined the training course and Instructor Ralph decided to let them stay to our cottage."
After Aldin introduced them. The siblings went forward and greeted Kiro once more.
"Nice to meet you! Kiro, I'm Missa," She said while smiling gently to Kiro.
Hitting the shoulder of her sister, Missa indicated her sister to introduce herself. "Just like Aldin said, my name is Mirabell."
The first sister is Missa; she has a sweet and cheerful atmosphere around her. While the second sister Mirabell is a wondrous beauty. But has a cold and quiet disposition.
Giving a nod at the two, Kiro introduced his name once more. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kiro, I hope we all get along well in the future," Kiro said as he gave them a polite bow.
The moment he finished his self-introduction, Alyva called out. "Now everyone knows each other, Missa, Mirabell, can you help me to prepare the food in the kitchen? I wanted to make a feast to celebrate Kiro's return."
"Okay, Alyva," Missa replied at her while her sister gave Alyva a slight nod for approval.
"Aldin, can you fetch more firewood at the warehouse?"
"But didn't I just refill the wood early in the morning?" Aldin looked at her with confusion. This time Alyva wrinkled her eyebrows. "Just go to the warehouse and get more wood!"
Upon hearing her strong and commanding voice, Aldin could only helplessly sigh, as he headed to the warehouse.
"Okay let's go, you guys," After the two siblings went inside, Alyva secretly winked at Kiro, then went inside the cottage.
Seeing her playful behavior, Kiro wasn't stupid enough not to understand that Alyva created an opportunity for him to talk with Alina. He could only give his thanks to her if the opportunity arrived.
Kiro glanced at Alina who was looking at Alyva's group in bewilderment. Kiro thought for a moment, before moving slowly to approach her.
