CHAPTER 5 " CHANGE "
I walked in through the door and was greeted by the Manager of the Human Resources Department, who handles recruiting and contract cancellation of recruits. As soon as we made eye contact, he smiled and began walking in my direction. His name is 'Ben,' and he was the one who recruited me and was a nice guy.
Ben - "Sith, thank God you're fine; I attempted to call you but your phone was switched off; I was planning on visiting you in the hospital."
Sith - "I am OK now, Ben; I was discharged from the hospital a long while ago..."
Ben - " it's excellent that you are fine… but I have awful news for you,"
"Sam blamed you for the death of the other potter and got the guild chief to reject your contract, sorry I couldn't do anything, and the guild leader asked you to come to his office.
Ben's - Is it just me, or did he seem more confident than previously, and he appears to be taller and thinner than before? Does facing mortality change him physically?
Sith - I should have known it would not be easy; regardless of how the guild attempts to make it worse for me, playing with me will not be easy.
"I'm scheduled to meet with the guild chief." I was speaking with the assistant. She is another thorny individual with whom I am unwilling to speak. I had a secret crush on her once, but I was stupid enough to believe she was a diligent worker until I learned that she took a shortcut to obtain this position at such a young age. At first, I was dubious, but you can tell whether rumors are real or not by observing the person's conduct.
She didn't even raise her face to meet my gaze as she informed the leader of my presence and directed me to enter.
When I opened the door and saw the three persons seated in front of me, the first thing that sprang to mind was a deep sigh. Sam and the team captain were also present, and when I noticed Sam's smug expression, I felt hitting his smug face might help me calm my mind at the moment.
Sam- " Take a look at who has come to pay a visit, or should I say to steal.
Sith - I gazed into his eyes calmly and responded, "You have a good allegation there, Mr Sam. Could you please fill me in on the details of the object I stole from you?"
Sam- " YOu…"
Guild Leader - " Stand down Sam….and Sith you should know how to talk to your superior, and you should be grateful that guild was able to safeguard your porter licenses because of your mistake we lost a valuable colleague.
Sith- It was amusing to observe Sam's shocked expression; similarly, if I looked back at my prior self, I would be shocked as well. I walked up to the chief and sat down quietly... " Guild chief, it appears as though you've been quite busy recently, which is why you didn't bother to check at the recording prior to deducting that I was the cause of death... Therefore, allow me to inform you that it was your daughter and him who chose to enter despite my warning and left me there to die without a second thought..."
Sam- " You have nerves..." Allow me to assure you that it would take me less than a minute to break every bone in your body and confine you to a wheelchair for the remainder of your life."
Sith - I chose to disregard him and focus my attention on the chief. " Two million dollars and a statement establishing my innocence, and I will leave the guild with my mouth shut regarding all that occurred within that dungeon."
Chief - "...you should understand that leaving a critically injured person behind and opting to save everyone else's life is sufficient to preserve my daughter's reputation."
Sith - "Chief, you should be aware that many of those who are eyeing your daughter's position as sole heir to this guild chief, and any reason would be sufficient for them to make a move, and you should also be aware that what I am requesting will be much more than this just after you pinned all blame on me, and it is not about me being left behind, but about your daughter disregarding a warning and endangering the lives of all her teammates and being the cause of death of one of them."
Chief- "...ok deal, but if any word about that incident got out of your mouth you should know what i am capable of."
Sith - I felt as though I were buried beneath the earth, with every particle of dirt piercing my flesh... This is the strength of the A+ level, eh... However, I was holding everything in...but the perspiration pouring from my head and back signaled to them that I couldn't hold on any longer, and he reclaimed his presence.
Sith - "...you have a deal "
I exited the office and entered a tiny room to catch my breath. It was too much for me to manage that sort of strain; it needed every ounce of power I possessed to deal with it. I was too confident in myself; people like them can kill me in a split second, but that confidence was needed to get what I needed…
I took a taxi to a hunter association branch to register as a hunter... I was requested to wait while they verified my information and then I would have to take an obligatory written and physical examination to obtain my hunter license. While I waited, I heard a disturbance and looked in the direction of the source of the noise.
Hunter 1- Isn't she the ice dragon guild's guild leader? Why is she here??
Hunter 2 - you moron, do you not notice her brother behind her? She must have come to pick up his hunter license...
yeah She holds the SS rank. What rank will her sibling receive??
Hunter 3 - She has the appearance of a frosty goddess... She is so young, and already the head of a guild, therefore her brother's future will be no less bright as her own...
Hunter 4 - Her name is Stella Rothschild, and she is a descendant of the Rothschild line.
Sith- " Sith- " I was charmed by her beauty, pale skin, excellent height, large black eyes, and silky black hair... My heart leaped as I noticed she was staring here... No, she was probably on the lookout for something else... Yes, she undoubtedly is, I let go of her thoughts and choose to focus on my upcoming test.
Aron Rothschild- " Sister what are you looking for…"
Stella Rothschild - " …nothing let's go"...it must be my imagination.
Aron Rothschild - "Sister, what Rank do you think I will get."
Stella Rothschild- " …A+ with the limit of SS Rank "
Aron Rothschild - " I wanted to be S rank…So I can come with you for the next raid.
Stella - "....."
Aron - " Why do you always say so little... It's no surprise you're single."
Stella- "...."
Sith - "" The written exam was simple... Only the physical exam remains, after which my rank will be determined."
Hunter 1- " did you know Aron Rothschild just got A+ rank with the limit of SS rank."
Hunter 2 -" WHATT?? Maximum SS Rank... If he survives, like his sister, he will have a bright future..."
