After finishing her mission, Rem went to meet Nor to inform him about what was going on.
'Where is he..?' Rem wondered.
Rem ran back to her dorm room. As she walked inside, she spotted a letter on her bed. Next to the letter was a magic teleportation scroll. Rem read the letter.
[Dear, Icy.
Apologies for not being able to meet you right now. I know you have completed your mission. Use this magic teleportation scroll to get to my location. See you there!
From, your bestie.
*Wink!*]
'Are you serious? Why??? Urg... If I can slice his head off I would already do so...' Rem cringed from reading the letter.
'I guess I'll use a teleportation scroll again. I have a feeling I will be using these a lot...' Rem sighed and picked up the teleportation scroll.
'It seems there is some kind of magic on this letter and teleportation scroll... Nor sure is prepared and cautious. Time to get my reward!' Rem activated the teleportation scroll and got teleported.
'This place looks quite familiar...' Rem walked towards the castle.
Rem entered the castle and went to Nor's office.
"Welcome, welcome!" Nor smiled.
"After telling you everything, gimme my reward." Rem said.
"You sure are direct today, Icy. I mean, you always get to the point right when we meet anyway. That's just how you are. I guess we will talk while standing up since you don't seem to want to take a seat..." Nor said casually.
"It's fine, I'll take a seat." Rem sat on the comfy chair.
'I've never sat on a chair this soft... This world sure is weird.' Rem thought.
Nor also took a seat and sat in front of Rem. They were about two meters away from eating others. There were fruits, sweets, and tea served on the table. Nor took a sip of his tea.
"Of course I will be using a magic device so I know if you are lying or not. Don't mind it." Nor smiled again.
After finishing his tea, he placed the empty cup down on the table.
"Alright then. What did you find out?" Nor suddenly became serious.
"So..." Rem began to tell Nor everything that had happened during the mission.
•••
As Rem told Nor everything that had happened during the mission, all Nor did was nod. After telling Nor about everything that had happened during the mission, Rem saw Nor's eyebrows furrow.
'What is he think right now..?' Rem didn't care about anything that had happened during her mission.
The only thing she hated was how all the EXP Rem got in the past few days while grinding were all wasted because she couldn't gain any more EXP if she didn't evolve.
'If only I had evolved before all this... I probably could have gained about 10 levels from all that EXP!!!' Rem was angry but she tried to forget about it for now.
Rem decided to show Nor how the black cloak she obtained by killing the blacked cloaked men looked like.
"This is... I'm afraid this will become a huge problem later in the future. These people are from the Crimson Heril Association. They are definitely people from the Crimson Heril Association. They are the messengers of the Devil." Nor said in a worried voice.
"I have to report this to the Guild Master. As you know, I'm not the Guild Master. I barely even see the Guild Master... Anyway, since you have completed this mission that was supposed to be an A-ranked difficulty, you will get some extra rewards. You are an official member now so here, take this." Nor threw a small object at Rem.
"What's this..?" Rem asked.
"This is a coin that will be with you wherever you go so you can never lose it. It will always be there. This coin is like a phone. We can communicate using that. Just put a drop of blood on that coin and that coin will be yours only. If anyone else touches the coin other than you, the coin will self destruct. Nobody can see this coin except for you and the other Guild Members." Nor explained.
"You are now one of us!" Nor said.
Rem nodded and observed the coin carefully.
'Hmmm... This coin is about the size of a Platinum Coin. It's also the color of a Platinum Coin too. On both sides of the coin, it even says the Guild's name and its symbol, I assume. So this Guild's name is Nemesis... The symbol looks cool just like its name. Great! I approve..!' Rem cut her finger slightly and the blood dripped on the coin.
The coin shined brightly and after a while, the light disappeared.
"Now that that's done, here's your reward for successfully completing the mission by yourself. Don't worry, I will give you the bonus rewards later." Nor handed the Shadow Leaf to Rem.
"Thanks but... You better give me something good because I risked my life on that mission. I could have died, you know?" Rem stared at Nor.
"Yes, I know. I'll give u a good reward so relax!!! Here's a magic scroll to get back to your dorm room. Anyway, I have to go report this to the Guild Master right now. Good work! See you, Icy!" Nor handed Rem the magic teleportation scroll, smiled at Rem, and then disappeared in the shadows.
'How does he even know where my dorm room is..? Urg, what a creep.' Rem stored all the items in her inventory and activated the teleportation scroll.
In a few seconds, Rem was back in her dorm room.
'I'm so tired today!!! Let's see my requirements to evolve...' Rem looked at her requirements.
[2,741/1,000 E Ranked Mana Stones]
[36/20 Human Kills]
[12/10 Dark Beast Cores]
[1/1 Shadow Leaf]
{Requirements Fulfilled!}
{Would You Like To Evolve?}
'I can finally evolve!!!' A blue screen appeared in front of Rem.
[Yes/No]
Rem chose Yes.
'Evolving makes me so sleepy...' Rem shifted into her beast form and laid on her bed.
She began to doze off to sleep. In a few minutes, Rem finally fell asleep.
