Sen let out a deep breathe before answering, "After you left for work, I just kind of relaxed, but I started experiencing some kind of warmth inside me. I felt like I was full of energy, more energy than I've ever had in my life! I started doing some slightly intense exercise, just to make sure that I wasn't imagining things. I was exhausted after finishing the exercises, but I still felt like I had energy left to spare. Once I recovered from it, I felt a decent bit stronger, is that normal?"
There was silence on the other end for a little while, "S-Sen? Do you know how rare it is to awaken with more than one type of ability? It's almost unheard of! It sounds like you received some kind of strength augmentation and a fire-related ability."
Sen frowned when he heard Martha talking about this so calmly, "How are you talking about this so casually Martha? I just awakened, we both thought that I'd remain a civilian for the rest of my life!"
He heard Martha let out a long and stressed-out sigh, "I'm trying to remain calm, I'm a little nervous, and am also extremely excited to hear about this!"
Sen felt much better after hearing that, he thought that Martha would angry about him potentially hiding his powers from her. 'I guess this is because we both trust each other too much to ever think about lying to each other!'
"By the way, Peter invited me to come down to the guild office whenever you returned. It's pretty clear that he was scouting me! There's something very important that I need to talk to you about. I'll be coming down to the office now."
"Sen, what the hell happened? Peter rarely leaves the office for anything!"
Sen sighed, he knew that delaying this matter any more would just bring further complications down the line. "Martha, four mercenaries broke in, I was able to cripple them, they're probably in the police hospital right now. There were plenty of witnesses and Peter was one of them!"
"WHAT THE F*CK DID YOU JUST SAY? SEN, PLEASE TELL ME YOU WEREN'T TOO BADLY HURT!"
Sen winced and moved the phone a little further away from his ear, "I'm fine Martha, it seems that I have a passive regeneration ability as well, so I recovered fairly quickly."
The silence on the other end went on for a lot longer this time, "THREE ABILITIES? Next you're going to tell me you have five abilities or something stupid like that."
Sen chuckled nervously, "Well, about that... I kind of do have five abilities. Peter has seen four of them, and I'm slowly starting to get a handle on the last one. Yeah, it's definitely abnormal to say the least, I guess that I'm a late bloomer. Those abilities must have build up over a long period of time, and when I awakened, they burst forth."
The sound of slightly hysterical laughter could be heard at the other end of the line. Sen couldn't exactly blame her, even Martha, the Jinto System's most powerful S-Rank Hunter, had not gained her abilities this quickly. "Alright, alright! Fine, come down to the guild office, you'll probably be wanting to join a guild, as an S-Rank Hunter, getting you registered as one will be incredibly easy!"
(A/N: Yes, I'm making Martha an S-Rank Hunter, otherwise, she'll be quite literally nigh-omnipotent...)
Sen sighed with relief, he had thought that Hunter registration would be a long, and tedious process. In the end, Martha had pretty much sorted the whole process out instantly. That meant no tedious power testing, no over-exaggerated reactions from the proctors, and most importantly, no "G-Rank Trash" comments! He sincerely hoped that there wouldn't be any Wuxia/Xinxia side-characters.
"Sen, what was that sigh about, that had better be a sigh of relief, otherwise there'll be trouble!"
Sen gave his phone a deadpan stare, "Seriously? It's just a sigh, anyways, I'm just relieved to have such a wonderful wife!"
"Oh, stop it you! You're making me blush! Come on down now, people are looking!"
Sen chuckled, "Alright, you got it! I'll be right there. Bye for now!"
"See you soon, love you!"
Sen ended the call, he really needed to get this whole "love" thing sorted out, oh well, let's get there, and worry about that a little later!"
He quickly got dressed, ate a small breakfast, so that he wouldn't get a stitch whilst running down to the office. Now, that would be embarrassing. He made sure to lock the door behind him, 'Oh! Now would be an excellent time to test one of my [Technomancer's Creation] and [Technomancer's Synthesisation!]'
Sen quickly searched for "Misc Scrapped Tech" in the System Shop. The cost was almost negligible and he immediately bought them.
'[Technomancer's Creation]'
Sen quickly envisioned a relatively high-tech, micro-sized, CCTV Camera. Of course, it was tiny, so he couldn't really see, but the system was quick to tell him about his success.
{You have successfully created a micro-surveillance tool, please enter an algorithm!}
'SCAN AREA FOR LIFE FORMS
WHEN LIFE FORMS DETECTED
SEND MESSAGE TO PHONE
ELSE IF LIFE FORM = CREATOR
DO NOT SEND MESSAGE
MANA POWER SOURCE'
"Please work, please work!"
Sen muttered under his breath, but it seemed that his cause for concern was for naught.
{Converting Algorithm into high and low-level languages, organising libraries, optimising runtime! DONE! No device detected, please use [Technomancer's Synthesisation]}
'[Technomancer's Synthesisation]'
He quickly imagined the micro-camera linking to his mobile device, and he could feel the devices successfully link, thanks to his skill.
{Micro Camera successfully linked with Jamsung Solarity X!}
'Perfect! Let's see how well this works, if there are any intruders, then I'll know about it.'
Sen immediately set off at a brisk run. It only took him around 15 minutes to reach the more prestigious town centre, filled with upscaled offices. Most of the signs had the names of famous guilds written on them, and it didn't take long for him to find the sigh for the "Mooncry" Guild.
'[Observe]'
{The Mooncry Guild's emblem is a celestial fusion of a silver crescent moon, a majestic wolf, and shimmering stars on a midnight blue backdrop. It symbolizes unity, strength, wisdom, and protection under the moon's glow, guiding members towards their dreams.}
'That's great, that sounds just like Martha, at least like the Martha from this world!'
Sen quickly looked around him before entering the ground floor. This floor was bustling with hunters either belonging to the guild itself, or those wanting to apply to join the top guild in the world! 'WOW! This place is beautiful!'
When Sen looked around the ground floor, he was in awe of the immense space before him. The office building stretched out in all directions, with high ceilings that seemed to touch the sky. The floor was vast, allowing for numerous activities to take place.
The reception area was grand, with marble flooring and a chandelier hanging above the central desk. The Mooncry guild emblem adorned the wall behind it, emanating an air of prestige. The staff members were bustling about, attending to various tasks, all dressed in uniform attire.
Walking further, he discovered long corridors leading to different sections of the building. The walls were adorned with intricate paintings and portraits of past guild members. Glass windows allowed sunlight to stream in, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The ground floor seemed to have no end, with various lounges, meeting rooms, and training facilities scattered around. He could see guild members engaging in discussions, practicing their skills, and collaborating on various projects.
The office building truly represented the might and grandeur of the Mooncry guild. Sen knew that there was so much to explore and learn within its walls, and he felt honoured that he would be a part of this extraordinary guild. The staff members mainly seemed to consist of young male and female Elves.
This made sense, the elven species were generally viewed as the more physically and emotionally attractive beings within the Cross-dimensional alliance. In terms of Intelligence and Wisdom, Elves were unmatched. Sen quickly approached the reception, not before discovering a relatively long queue of individuals waiting to either have their queries answered, or to start the application process.
He got out his phone and immediately called Martha. It barely rang once before she immediately answered, "You're here! The surveillance system immediately registered that you'd entered! I'm coming down right now!"
Sen quickly looked around before spotting what looked like a teleportation magic circle starting to glow brightly. Everyone immediately quietened down, this magic circle could only be used by high-ranking members of the guild. Obviously, everyone was excited to see who could possibly teleporting to the ground floor!
Martha seemed to phase into existence, a wave of energy emanating from her as she arrived! The esteemed guildmaster of Mooncry, was a picture of professional elegance in her office attire. Her outfit exuded authority and sophistication, reflecting her status as a respected leader.
She wore a well-tailored navy blue blazer with subtle gold accents, adding a touch of luxury without being ostentatious. The guild's emblem was tastefully embroidered on the lapel, symbolizing her role as the guiding force of the guild.
Beneath the blazer, she donned a crisp, ivory-coloured blouse that perfectly complemented her regal presence. The neckline was adorned with a small, tasteful brooch that added a touch of refinement.
Her lower half was adorned with a flowing knee-length skirt, which maintained the elegance and professionalism expected in a business setting. The dark, navy blue shade matched the blazer seamlessly, creating a harmonious and commanding look.
Her silver hair was styled in an elegant updo, accentuating her captivating sapphire eyes that held a wealth of wisdom and determination. A pair of gold-accented earrings and a matching necklace completed her ensemble, adding a touch of sophistication to her overall appearance.
Martha's business-like attire perfectly showcased her leadership qualities—confident, composed, and inspiring. As she navigated the bustling office, her presence commanded respect and admiration from her guild members, who recognized her as the heart and soul of Mooncry. 'Good god, I'm beginning to sound just as flowery as the Omni System!'
{HEY! I HEARD THAT!}
'Sorry, but it's true!'
{...}
Everyone's eyes widened considerably, even the appearance of a high-ranking guild member paled in comparison to Martha herself! The most powerful hunter to ever grace the Jinto System! She began to walk across the floor, not before greeting the staff members at the reception. "Sen, you've arrived just on time, it's time to begin your interview. Don't worry about the hunter registration process, I've already sorted that out!"
Sen gingerly approached Martha, dimly aware of the stares he was receiving from those around. Their emotions ranged from shock to jealousy, this only increased when he tentatively took her hand. Before he knew it, they were back at the teleportation circle, it then activated once more, and just moments later, they teleported. "What the fuuu---!"
Chapter 1/3 done! I've also started to created a Discord server for this story, I will probably not create a Patreon, especially since I recently received a contract invitation from Webnovel, so chapters may start getting locked at some point soon, no confirmations so far though, I'm waiting for the application to go through.
