Chapter 54 - An Offer

Iris 

" So what your saying is that , you dropped the chandelier, killing the Goblin King before it wakes up ? "

" And how did you managed to do that ? "

Jin 

" Its quite simple actually , I simply made my way closer to it as much as I can to it then I climb up the pillars of the room , Then I proceeded to climb my way to the top of the chandelier precariously hanged above the Goblin King's head , cut it and let it do the rest." 

" Simple right." 

Iris 

A little baffled by his explanation yet , still remained composed. 

" I see that's an interesting strategy you pulled there ."

(" Its so simple yet most people ignored such minor details at the boss room.")

(" And yet he saw it at first glance , and also managed to utilize it to his advantage on the get go.") 

" Then let me ask you this , how did you managed to sneak across climbing the wall without being noticed by the boss ?"

Jin 

" Well there isn't much to say, since I was simply being quiet and try putting less weight on my steps ."

" Nothing that different ."

Iris 

(" Although its a reasonable answer that still doesn't explain the entire scenario his in , but I'll write it off as him being nimble and quiet for now .") 

Iris nodded at the camera poised at the top edge of the room . One of her so called bodyguard who was standing on the other side turned off the camera, the red light turned off and the camera powered down. 

" Lets continue shall we ."

Iris smiled a little changing the atmosphere of the room . She closed the book and began to relax herself then looked at Jin . 

" Now that we are finished with the formal interview I have some other off the books question I would like to ask you ."

Jin focused watching her knowing that she is analyzing his response in return. And yet he stayed there with an unchanging face and demeanor. 

Jin 

" Sure , ask away ." 

Iris 

" Jin , are you affiliated with any guild ?"

Jin 

"???"

Iris 

" Let me rephrase that , Jin have you joined any guild yet or have the intention of joining one later on ?"

Jin 

(" Elise , what do you make of this ?")

[[ Notice ]] 

[[ Iris ]]

[[ Affiliation : Rose Guild ]]

[[ Position : Vice Guild Leader ]]

[[ Rank : S ]] 

[[ Level : 67 ]]

[[ Class : Fiery Archer ]] 

[[ Status : Expectant ]] 

[[ Iris has decided to invite the Host to join the Rose guild ]]

[[ She intends to recruit the Host into Rose Guild and train the Host to become an attack squad leader ]] 

[[ Invitation to join Rose Guild ]]

[[ Yes ]] [[ No ]] 

(" Looks like she's more than meets the eye .") 

(" Elise what do you mean by S rank level 67 in her status ?")

[[ Answer ]]

[[ In this world rank can be increased similar to levels ]]

[[ In truth after reaching level 100 after each rank one can do a rank up to reach a higher rank ]] 

[[ Similar to how one can evolve to the next level after maxing out a certain criterion ]] 

(" And how would you grade Iris in your personal opinion , Elise .") 

[[ Answer ]]

[[ Iris is an SS rank talent ]]

[[ Valued highly in this world ]] 

[[ To the system she is ranked C+ ]]

<{ So basically She's barely worth anything to the system }>

<{ Oh man , even if this is a lower world, to us its grades makes no sense , haha }> 

<[ So basically my dearest Host , What Elise is trying to say that even if she is a highly sought after talent in this world she is barely average according to the Systems criterion }> 

<{ Even your current avatar , which is only C rank in this world , is much better than most of the people here }>

<{ So don't worry about it and let her rip }>

<{ Just simply do as you please My dearest Host }> 

(" Alright thanks for the input you two .") 

(" However to me the mission comes first and since I know next to nothing in this place , It might not be a bad idea to join her .")

(" We'll see in due time .") 

" Well I have been considering it , and yet it is a really big decision ."

" Which is why I can't simply choose at random isn't it ." 

Iris 

" Of course not ."

"I'm glad your thinking it through ." 

" That is why I'm here to present you with an opportunity." 

" Jin how about you Join my Rose Guild ." 

" I promise to aid you in your efforts to becoming stronger , not only that the Guild will give you its full support on everything you do ."

" How's that for an offer ."

Iris offered Jin what she considered a rare opportunity , an environment for his growth. Support from a prominent guild and not limited to one aspect of assistant in his matters, and yet. 

Jin 

" That certainly is quite the offer Iris , may I ask are you in a position to offer me such a price for my recruitment ?"

Iris 

" Of course ."

" You might not know this but , I am in fact not only the leader for the Rose Guild's second attack force but also the Vice Guild master ."

" Scouting for talents to join us is also part of my duties as one of the leading member of the Guild you see." 

Jin 

" Then lets say that I agree with you ."

" What can you offer me , that I can't get from other Guilds ."

Iris 

(" Quite the sudden uptake .")

(" I was assuming that he'd at least show more of an enthusiasm to join since the Rose guild is one of the Top Three Guild in the nation and yet he remained almost indifferent .")

(" Well at the very least he knows his worth .")

("Originally I was going to probe him for a while before asking him to join but , I guess going about it this way is not so bad either.") 

Iris let out a small smile across her face. 

" Then let me ask you Jin ."

" What do you expect from us as a Guild ."

" I'm sure you'd know that this kind of offer doesn't come that frequently." 

" To those who are beneath B rank ." 

Jin 

(" There it is , she's starting to make her move .")

("However ..... ") 

Iris 

" But since I can see that you would be a fine addition to our guild then how about I start out strong by giving you a full contract with a 3,5 million down payment. "

" I'm sure this much should suit your needs ."

" What do you say ."

Jin 

" Thank you for putting such value in recruiting me yet I have to decline." 

Iris 

(" What ??? ")

(" I thought .") 

" Hold on now, let's not be hasty now shall we ."

" How about this I can give you 4 million down payment and another million bonus?"

Jin 

" Iris I ."

Iris 

" If that's not enough how about .... 

Jin 

" Hold up , for a moment ."

" You see what I want is not money , you see." 

Iris 

" ? "

Jin 

" Then how about this , I want freedom ."

" Freedom to choose and freedom of movement within the guild free access to the Guild etc ."

" Can you do that for me ."

Iris 

(" So basically he wants access to the Guild's benefits while also being untied down , Hmmm looks like he wants a non binding contract then .")

(" However .... 

Jin 

" How about this , I'll join your guild for 1 million down payment , I'm free to make my own team , I hold my own information , and the right to move freely on the Guild." 

Iris 

(" I see , well that is a good deal for recruiting a good seed like him but .")

" How long do you suppose this contract will last , and what do you intend to do with this autonomy ?" 

Jin 

" This contract will continue for a year then we can revision it latter as for the freedom , Its because I enjoy doing things my way you see ." 

Iris 

" Hmmm , alright then I can agree to your conditions however I have a few of my own ." 

" 1. you must answer to the guilds summons ."

" 2. you are only affiliated with us the Rose Guild exclusively ."

"3. you must not abuse the privilege given to you by the guild ."

The list goes on for a few minutes filled with a lot of basic rule of law etc. 

After a few minutes of legality later.... 

" So long as you don't violate these conditions you may do as you will , got it ."

Jin 

" Then its settled , A pleasure to join you Iris ."

Jin stood up and let out his hand for a hand shake. 

Iris stood from her seat and take his arm then shake it firmly. 

Iris 

" The pleasure is all mine , I hope we'll get along together Jin ."

" Welcome to the Rose Guild ."

 Afterwards the two of them walked out of the room, towards the nearby exit . 

Iris 

" Now just to be clear , your position is the team leader for the fifth attack force , the newest addition to the Guild ."

" Your job now is to fill up the slots with the members of your personal choosing. "

" You'll have 2 weeks to prepare and turn this new group to an effective task force ." 

Jin 

" Understood ."

" Oh and by the way , may I ask whatever happened to Miss Anri ."

Iris 

" Oh her , she's already finished her part of the questioning and is free to go ."

" Why do you ask ?"

Jin 

" Because I'm intending on bringing her into my team ."
