"ha I told him that he will eat my dust... At least my stamina is almost back to full health." Kami examined his seal tattoo with a grin on his face... But then something caught his eyes and attention... In fact it was something that he never thought that he would see again... The strange skeletal hamji that lurks the forest. "....this again."
It stared at kami for a long time, as it's very glares had sent shivers down Kami's spine. The stare kept on, until zero's voice could be heard from far away, scaring off the hamji... Though again, it's escape was instantaneous that it looked like as if it had vanished out of thin air... Strange.
"....I have a bad feeling for this. This hamji does not seem to be like the regular he ones... In fact, it almost looked like as if it was... Monitoring me... So Unlikely for a hamji to do..." I observed, as zero started to run towards me with a very angry expression on his face... Oh no gotta run.
"KAMIIIIIII!!!!!!!"

"i told you that you can't beat me hahaha!" I mocked zero, who was now grinning his fanged teeth in anger as he dropped the farming tools on the ground while folding his arms and closing his eyes. "somebody is a sore loser."
"Yeah yeah, says the mercenary with a cast on his right arm." Zero remarked with a small grin, as I was pissed by this but then felt something off about zero's mana... It's feels like as if it's reacting to his emotions, very quite similar to that of a hamji. "what? Is something wrong?"
"zero.... How exactly did you get that horn on your forehead? And tell me the truth." I asked in my usual stoic expression, as zero had just turned his gaze away from me with a frown on his face.
"Why should I? Ha fat chance, don't think I trust you mercenary...." he responded in a threatening tone, now facing directly at me. " Don't forget I still remember what you said in the forest on that day, I will kill you if you do anything to big sis mia."
"....big world's coming out from a kid..." I said while reverting back to my normal kid form... Seems like I still need more recovering.
"says the kid himself." Zero came up to my own level eye to eye, but I was still somewhat taller than him. "And besides you're not that strong either, that tree trick I managed to do it at the end, ha!"
" you managed to do it, that doesn't mean you are stronger." I told him, while staring at the farm tools as I went towards it and grabbed the scythe. "if you're strong how about a little competition, huh zero... You up for it... Or maybe you're just too scared huh."
"hahahahaha in your dreams kami!" he proclaimed as he went towards the farm tools and also grabbed the scythe in annoyance and a toothy grin on his face also. "I have been doing this ever since I met big sis Mia, so don't act cocky."
"and you said I am acting cocky what about you... Don't underestimate your opponent zero." I walked towards some bunch of trees, why stretching out the scythe towards my right side. " because you do not know just how strong they are."
I clicked my arm with the scythe creating a very short temporary shock wave, as all the trees were instantly on the ground and had shocked zero in the process. " surprised?"
"aarrrggghhh I don't care as long as I finish the harvest, I will still win loser hahahahaha!" zero shouted while cutting down all the harvest crops, as I just realised on what he meant and had started to Quickly follow him and harvest more than him. "hahahaha eat soil!"
"Shut up unicorn hahaha!" I shouted back at him in annoyance while grinning just like him, as I was actually.... Having fun I guess.
'..... though how come Mia haven't made it here by now.'

"Well isn't this great... We are going to their head tin can house, wow couldn't it get any better." CW said ironically, while resting on the bar counter, with his usual emotionless facial expression as ruk had just sweat drop while staring at him. "what... Is something on my face?"
"... No it's just that you're aware of the fact that it was basically you and hercul that defeated the yoma, which even me know is a very huge feat. But that alone was enough to raise the rank of our guild to elite." Ruk explain while putting away all or the used cups and had started to clean them. "though when you over look the Clan, the boost of our ranks will be an advantage for us over other guilds."
"Hmmm I guess, well I'm going out, see guys later." CW bid farewell, standing to his feet and heading towards the doors. But was then grabbed back by Jack; who led him back to the counter.
"oh no you don't, we can't let you go after when you and hercul caused it in the first place." Jack said with an annoyed look on his face, as CW had just sighed while assuming his former laying down post on the counter table.
"Seriously... What a waste, I'm stuck in here. You guys know very well that me and hercul had to stop it in someway, if not we can kiss our lovely capital good bye.... Though there was one thing that really bothered me." CW said in a very serious tone, as he now glares at the ceiling of the guild.
"What could be the problem CW? Is there something that lingers in your mind?" ruk asked CW, as he just shifted his glare at Ruk; who was still putting away the used mugs into the cabinet.
"stop playing dumb ruk, even I know that you sensed something strange about that yoma... It's mana present Felt of something."
"Artificial, almost like as if it was it was forced to appear." Ruk added, while sigh. "what a relief, I thought I was the only person that could sense that about it, very strange when you to think of it."
"what do you think, corruption occurs when right after the being has totally been overcome with he or her emotions, plaguing it with nothing but selfish gain. Making their soul open to demons from the pits of hell... Trapping the soul of the victim inside a world of pain and suffering, while the demon possesses the body and curse it with endless hunger for mana... and Those are called hamjis, which are almost impossible to kill except for using the three blessed techniques." Explained by hercul, who had just arrived with Tamaki, Indra, kira, zura and sahal.
"what took you guys so long huh?" CW rested again on the counter, as everyone except from CW, ruk and Jack, sweat dropped and face palmed. "and where are the others?"
"sigh not everyone have the ability to stop time at will or are almost flawless at using space attributes as ruk, who can basically teleport
"sigh not everyone have the ability to stop time at will or are almost flawless at using space attributes as ruk, who can basically teleport." Hercul comments, whereas CW had just stared at them with a poker face.
"Wait, I actually had a reason, you know I run the bar so I needed to come here as fast as I could to clean it up. It was Jack who had told me to give him a ride back because the meeting was already getting boring." Ruk defended himself, as jack stared at him with looks of betrayal but then folded his hands and had closed his eyes.
"Can you blamed me, the meeting was just mainly about us destroying government properties when saving there sorry butts." Jack confessed with a scowl on his face as everyone nodded in agreement.
"i guess you're right... At least you don't have a splitting head ache..." sahal agreed rubbing his head in annoyance, while glaring at Tamaki; who was now whistling and facing away from his glare.
"well since that is settled, it's time for is to start relocating then. I was told that we are to move as fast as possible to the fortia clan's estate... Apparently they already have a place for us to stay." Ruk announced as on que, the other guilds members came on time and got started in packing all their accessories and equipment... But then the door had opened to reveal Alex, the head knight of the fortia clan. Accompanied by some personal and they seem to be helping in the packing I guess.
"there will be no need for that, for Emperor Galileo, his grace Lord Isaac has requested for all of your presences at the fortia clan state... And he wishes to speak with the one called, kami, D lower rank mercenary. Apparently his presence is needed immediately." Alex ordered as the packing had started to commence, and we all were shocked by this... Just how were they informed about the promotion of the guild. "kami!?"
"his not here so stop shouting, Sheesh!" CW hissed, as he got up from the counter, with a tired expression on his face. "...hmmm though now that you mention it.. I haven't since kami since."
"Yes, I didn't even see him during the breach and before that." Tamaki thought, as she started to get worried.
"Who is this kami?" Kira asked with a confused expression on his face, as Indra glanced at him.
"Oh sorry, you see kami was a new member of the sun guild, he last joined about hmmm about 4-5 weeks now and is he strong." Indra explained to him, as Kira just stared at Indra.
"Just how strong is he?" Kira asked being curious and interested in this kami as Indra had Grinned a little.
"Well will you believe me if I said that he beat hercul in an arm wrestling match." Indra claimed, Kira widened his eyes in shock as to be informed that this mercenary was able to beat the strongest mercenary her in a feat of strength.... Amazing.
"Yeah yeah he beat hercul in an arm wrestling match, big deal." Sahal mentioned, with a bored expression on his face.
"oh shut, like you could do better... Besides most of us are in debt to him." Tamaki mentioned with a very small blush on her face as this statement had confused hercul, CW, zura, Alex, jack and the rest.
"What do you mean Tamaki... what do you own him?" hercul questioned, as ruk now had a panicked look on his face, trying to signal her and Indra to stop talking.
"yes speak, what did this human had done for most of you to own him?" Alex spoke with authority in his voice, wanting to know more about it.
"don't look down on him, we own him our lives" Tamaki said with a hissed to her voice toward Alex, shocking almost everyone in the guild as the atmosphere had now become intense that even CW was now directing his attention to them.
"yes... If not for him we won't have come back alive... Even ruk knew that, the council sent us there on the day of the mysterious mana at the devil's garden!" Indra shouted out, as everyones attention was now on ruk; who then sighed as he dropped the mug and cloth on the counter.
"....yes, when we were sent to investigate the scene... We were attacked by a yoma, a very strong one in fact. That even sir ray proved inferior to it. The yoma was about to kill Indra and eventually all of us.... but then, in an instant, like as if time had stopped... He appeared, stopping the yoma's attack with a single hand, which had caught us all by surprise. And like as if that feat wasn't shocking enough.."
"he destroyed the yoma with a single snap of his finger.... Just like that." Indra completed now shocking everyone here, even Alex, CW and hercul were stunted by this revelation. " he told us to keep it as a secret that-."
"That he was the monstrous aura... So our guesses were right... He must be detained." Alex order with a shocked tone in his voice. "if truly he was the cause of that aura then he might as well be a threat to the capital and must be detained!"
"N-no he saved our lives-... We can't just assume that he is dangerous!" Tamaki argued as CW and hercul started to walk towards the door with a serious look on there face, as ruk had recognised those looks on their faces.
"He needs to be captured."
"he needs to be detained."
"tamaki... They won't turn back now, they have to obey orders." Jack also started to follow them, and soon most of the guild strongest had also started to follow them.
"What's going on ruk, where are they all going to?" Indra and Kira were confused by this. "why are they all acting this way, taking orders from him."
"Sigh that is just one of the bad sides of becoming an elite for a clan, basically any order given by them must be followed by the elites.... And if disordered, they shall be casted out as an automatic rogue and you know what happens to a rogue..." ruk also started to follow them and also did zura, sahal and Tamaki. " they will have a bounty on their head... A god bondage."
