"The commander?" Koji said in confusion.
The man pulled off his robe and handed it to Hirota.

[Robe can be created and enhanced when the ingredients are all in place.]
"Are you okay? You seem to be spacing out." Commander Muramato asked while staring at Koji.
"I'm alright no need to worry about me sir. I was just shocked by your sudden appearance."
'There's no mistake in it, it's the same kid who I saved. But looking at his tone and everything, he doesn't remembers me. I gave out my name in front of him that night so why...'
[Want to look for the answer through Goddess Isis memories?]
'Oh I can do that? Of course yes!'
[After he that incident ten years ago, he was brought back to safety and was brainwashed. His power was given to him by goddess to make him look like someone who can beat a dragon. The brainwashing made him forget everything and started a life as a commander.]

'Even the goddess... This is something I can't let go. I'll go to it's depth.'
"Well anyways, it seems like you've passed the qualifications to make your own squad. If you want I can refer some good people." Muramato politely congratulated.
"Thank you for your concern but I have who I want." Koji replied with kindness.
"Okay so time to measure your rank."
"What do you mean commander? Did the other broke because of it!"
"It's different. Trust me."
"Alright."
Koji put his hand on a ball looking crystal and it started to change color.
The color had various meanings.
White for rank E.
Yellow for rank D.
Green for rank C
Blue for rank B
Red for rank A
And gray for any rank above.
The color overcome all the colors till red and turned gray.
"Gray? What does it means?"
The commander looked at the results with great anxiousness.
"Congrats, you're the second gray ranker after me. Your rank is as high as of a Commander." Muramato said as he pulled out his arm for a hand shake.
"Nothing would make me feel better than getting acknowledged sir." Koji said as he took Muramato's hand.
Koji was brought back to the receptionist lady where he was given his license as an A rank Hunter for disguise.
Then some papers were passed to him.
"The commander has selected a good location for you. Please fill up all the details on this paper to officially become a general." the lady guided.
'Squad type : Battlers. Squad position : Front lines. Squad requirements : none. Squad name : .....'
"Oh the name! You should think it carefully as it represents everything in your squad. So what you gonna name it?" Muramato asked.
"I've already selected a name. The one which can even be used against the other generals. That name is....
"Scandalous Slayers"
*Later That Day*
Koji had finally registered his own squad and now was looking for a place to stay.
"I've just realised that I have no where to go. My apartment isn't there anymore and I don't have any friends from whom I can borrow the house. I suppose I have to turn to the worst option available." he sighed.
Koji then got inside a telephone booth and dialed Monaka's number.
'I hope it works.'
*Brrring*
*Brrring*
"Hello?" Monaka politely asked after picking up the call.
"Hey nee-san, it's me."
"KOJI!?
"Yes."
"WHY'D YOU CALL SO SUDDENLY!?"
"I shouldn't have? And what're you so worked up for?"
"Ah nothing. I'll calm down. So, did you need anything?"
"Quite a rude way to ask your brother who has just returned from death."
"Oh sorry, so how can I help you?"
"So like...I don't quite have a place to live."
"Yeah so?"
"Could you...you know..."
"Do what?"
"Ah right, I want you to let me stay at your place."
"Huh? but I live with my-, with out parents. Are you okay with that?"
"Of course I'm not, but I don't really have a choice do I?"
"Yeah, I guess we can't really do anything about that. I'll ask mom and dad. You should come."
"Alright, thanks bye!"
"Oh wait!"
"Yeah?"
"You're not getting into something dangerous again right?"
"I can't really answer that right now."
"Oh, alright..."
"By the way I've got a surprise for you. I'll tell when I come. Bye!"
"Okay bye!"
Koji hangs up the phone and comes out of the Booth and proceeds to walk his way home.
'I hope they will accept me. And I hope nee-san is gonna accept my request.'
*Knock knock*
Monaka ran towards the door fully overjoyed.
She opened the door without checking who it was and regretted it right away.
The one who was at the door wasn't Koji, but it was the first general, Muto Hisoka.
"Huh, Why're you here sire?" she fearsomely asked.
"What a small place to live. Fits perfectly for a traitor." he responded.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think you can fool me, I know he was coming here!"
"Who was?"
"That cheeky bastard, your damn brother."
"He's not here, he's in the hunter association tower."
"Oh I don't need him anyways. I'm here for revenge."
His secretary continued him with
"Monaka Matsuoka, hunter of group E, you have been kicked by the squad for leaking our secrets and thus you will have to pay for it."
"You heard him. Now, get ready to face the worst type of torture." Muto said with a loathsome smile.
Twenty minutes later.....
Koji got near to his family's house and say smoke coming out of that house.
He rushed over to the area and found something that he feared the most.
That house was burnt to crisp.
He roamed around the scene to look for his family and saw an ambulance.
He went near it and saw his parents and sister lying on the bed, burnt from many places.
"What the hell happened here....." he silently asked.
"I didn't quite get you sir, are you some relative of them?" the doctor questioned.
"WHO THE HELL DID THIS!?" Koji shouted with rage.
Everyone in the crowd was silenced because of fear of his rage.
A young boy came out of the crowd and tremblingly said.
"T-the first general did it. He came and burnt this place. Miss Monaka tried to protect it but was put unconscious."
Koji tried to calm down and put out his rage.
"Thanks for telling me." he kindly replied.
Koji walked towards his sister and parents and healed their bodies with healing magic.
The magic was a holy magic so it shocked the doctors as such fast recovery was never humanly possible.
Monaka woke up right after being healed and tried to get up.
Koji pushed her down and told her
"You should rest for a bit, I'm going to kick someone's ass okay? For the time being, go to the third commander, Kamiya-san will do something if you tell her I want her help. Take our parents with you, and don't follow me."
"Will you be safe?"
"I won't let your sacrifice go in vain. I'll kill that bastard!"
