"Hi, lil bro! Can we come in?" Mufar smiled as he asked.
"Yes! Please feel free to roam the headquarters!" Luis welcomed them as he gestured them to enter.
The eight people entered the headquarters as they looked inside with awe.
"Nice place you have lil bro! So cool!" Mufar exclaimed when he looked around.
"Thanks, Master bro! Please come with me and eat with us!" Luis invited them and head towards the Meeting Room which also became their Dining Room because of the table and the alignment of chairs.
The girls called the boys while Luis sat together with the visitors.
Most of the boys came down except one, it was Achilleas. The girls had an evil idea when they saw the deans. They decided not to inform them about the arrival of the deans and let them go to the Dining Room with their bed look.
The girls sat down in front of the table with wide smiles on their faces.
"You looked happy girls, does something happen?" Chisa asked the two girls who came.
"Nothing yet, Lady Chisa!" Julianne replied and giggled.
A moment later, the boys entered the room one by one while they still have the bed look on them.
"So this is how you look like when you have your bed look!" Theriud commented which made the girls giggled.
"Oh, hi Master!" Serion spoke with a sleepy tone.
"Wait... MASTER? Damn!" Serion screamed and he immediately ran upstairs as he entered the baths and quickly took a shower.
The other boys got to their senses when they saw the four Deans together with four more visitors sitting in front of them.
They immediately followed Serion and took a bath upstairs. Good thing that the baths have a dozen showers and stalls so they can take a bath together. The girls who were at the Dining Area laughed so hard just from seeing the boys getting agitated.
A few moments later, the boys came back with a fresh look and sat at the chair.
"That was embarrassing!" Serion awkwardly spoke as soon as he sat down.
A moment later, someone came inside the room. He was only wearing a pair of pants and nothing on the top as he scratched the back of his head. His body was so firm and muscular like it was chiseled to perfection. The woman who came together with the deans took big gulps when she saw Achilleas. This didn't escape the girls' vision as a smirk appeared on their faces.
"What's for breakfast?" Achilleas yawned as he takes a seat in front of Lady Chisa.
"Oh! So, you're taking good care of your body, Barbaric Neophyte!" Lady Chisa commented.
"Oh! Hey, old hag!" Achilleas greeted with a bored tone as he took a bowl and filled it with the soup made by Alyssa.
"You bastard!" Chisa stood up but she was stopped when she saw Achilleas's hand.
"You taught me that we shouldn't be violent in front of the foods. Let's just eat peacefully!" Achilleas lectured his master as he took spoonfuls of the soup neverminding the other people around him.
The Sky Chasers smiled as if they already knew what will Achilleas do because they already expected it. The people inside the room ate their breakfast peacefully while chatting about some things.
After eating, they stayed and chat while the ladies cleaned the table.
"Old hag! Let's spar at the Training Room!" Achilleas invited his master.
"I'll be glad to beat you up for calling me old hag!" Lady Chisa grinned as she followed her apprentice.
"I guess the barbaric master and apprentice are having a good time? Poor Achilleas, he will be beaten up again." Mufar sighed when the two head down towards the Training Room.
"No, Master Bro! Achilleas won't be beaten this time!" Luis smiled as they head towards the second floor together with the other four visitors and Theriud.
"Come, master! This place is amazing, I swear you will like it here!" Serion exclaimed as he dragged his master towards the door at the left which is the door to enter the Forgery.
"Master Bro, come with me, I'll show you the place where I concoct my pills!" Luis smiled as he walked towards the door to the right. "You can come too if you like!" He looked towards the other four in which they responded to him with a nod.
They entered the Alchemy Room and they saw how clean this place was and everything was organized. There was a place where herbs were categorized and each has a disk where it will display the name, quality, characteristics, and possible uses of the herbs. The four were amazed at the place and roamed around, touching stuff with an amused look on their place.
"Luis, let's head back to the lobby, we'll talk about something." Mufar seriously stated as he went out of the room and the others followed him.
They reached the lobby and sat on a table with six chairs around.
"Okay, our first objective here is to give your headquarters this," Mufar started and from his storage bracelet, he brought out a small orb and handed it over to Luis. The young man accepted it and observed it.
"That is the Quest Redirection Orb, you need to put it there," Mufar stopped and pointed at the bulletin board placed at the opposite wall from them. "So that you can receive official requests from the Academy or the people. It's a good way to gain popularity that you might need to recruit staff and members." Mufar explained.
"Our next objective for coming here is these four. I think you remember them do you?" Mufar asked as he looked at the other four sitting with them.
"Yes, I remember them, you are the four people who forfeited the match from the start right? The members of the Burning Cauldron?" Luis answered.
"Correction, 'Past' members of the Burning Cauldron. They tried to kick us out but we quit first. They are a team full of hypocrites and bastards that's why we left." The woman spoke.
"They came to my office earlier this day to beg me to tell them where do you live, I want to refuse but they are persistent that's why I brought them here. Sorry about that." Mufar explained.
"It's okay Master Bro! Anyway, can you please introduce yourselves?" Luis asked the four people.
"I am Ana, this is Tristan, Crix, and Alex." The woman introduced as she pointed from left to right.
"Oh, hello! What's your purpose in coming here?" Luis asked again. The three suddenly became red as embarrassment appeared on their expression.
"We want to ask you if we can join your famiglia?" Alex asked while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh! Wait here first." Luis prompted them as he ran towards the kitchen and fetched Alyssa who was washing the dishes with Julianne and Serion. He brought Alyssa to the table where the rest was still sitting.
"So, the idea is that they want to join our famiglia. Do you have any thoughts about that?" Luis informed Alyssa as the lady touched her chin and looked down pondering about something.
"What are you good at? Combat? Forging? Or Alchemy? Anything?" Alyssa asked the four.
"We are originally Alchemists from the Burning Cauldron and Luis already knows the reason why," Crix answered her question. Alyssa looked towards Luis and the young man only replied to her with a nod.
A frown appeared on Alyssa's face as she looked at the four people sitting with sweat dripping from their heads out of nervousness and anxiety. A moment later, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she walked towards them and hugged the four of them. "Welcome to the Family!" She exclaimed.
A surprised and bright smile appeared on their faces as they stood up and hugged her back.
"Thank you for accepting us! Please, take care of us!" Tristan thanked.
"Luis, I'll tour them around together with Julianne! Enjoy your time with your Master okay?" Alyssa smiled at him.
"Thanks! I will!" Luis replied as he looked at Mufar.
"Now, for the real purpose. What is the problem Master?" Luis seriously looked at Mufar.
"You know me quite well Lil Bro! Okay, first and foremost, your fight against the Prophets will be held a week from now, you can either forfeit or fight them. Warning, they are as strong as three Chisas in the body of 14. It's like you're fighting a group who has the power of three Vice Dean of Security." Mufar informed him about their next opponent.
Luis nodded as he pondered about what to do about them.
"Next purpose, I want to give your famiglia your very first mission. I want you to investigate the group who kept on ruining the towns and villages around the kingdom. It is a secret mission so I want you to choose the best assets you have for this mission. Don't let the enemies know that you are investigating this incident. I know that you will accept this because this incident might have something to do with the incident that happened back at Eristreas." Mufar informed as the last piece of information has caught Luis's attention.
"I will gladly accept this mission on behalf of Sky Chasers!" Luis accepted as he looked at his master with a firm look.
"You can start your investigation after your fight with the Prophets. Be careful Lil Bro!" Mufar smiled as people began to surge towards the two. It was the rest of the Sky Chasers and the deans.
The only dean who didn't roam the headquarters was Fulgur, which was stuck in the kitchen where he stuffed himself with the sweets made by the best baker of the headquarters, it was Luis who made them.
"Place is quite nice! How much did it cost you to build this?" Chisa asked as he looked at Luis.
The others looked at him too with a questioning look as he held his hand high up in the air signaling the number 5.
"500 thousand? Not bad for a headquarters this size!" Chisa commended as she nodded her head.
"Nope!" Luis giggled as he looked at Theriud who was smiling back at him.
"Then how much is this?" Mufar asked then drank the juice in front of him.
"5 million!" And when this was said. A spray of liquid burst out beside the young man as his master spat out the juice he drank.
"That expensive?"
