A/N: Thank you MADSN for the support🥰
----
We arrive at the gate after I use my teleportation.
"Why didn't you use teleportation immediately when those dragon attack us?" Clark asked.
I just scratch my cheek and look away at him.
"I want to have their bodies to create items from them. I didn't think that they are much of a threat though, even if you alone attack those three, I feel like you could still win. And besides, I want to expose you to the danger of the dungeon so you can survive it later on."
I said it and when Clark was about to reply a sudden invisible force was trying to pull us out of the dungeon.
"What's happening?" David ask as he tried his best to get out.
"I cannot use my skills." Clark added.
"I cannot use my magic either. It seems like the dungeon is throwing us out." I said and we are thrown outside the dungeon.
"I didn't experience that before, it seems like all humans who are still inside after killing the boss will experience that phenomenon." I said while looking around at the portal, it then shrink slowly until it vanish.
I could see group of awakened who are around class D and E in our surrounding as well as soldiers and ambulance as well.
"After killing the boss it seems like our time inside the dungeon will become limited." Clark added which I agreed on.
"You took more than an hour there, what happened inside?" An awakened that I left earlier asks.
It seems like he is very happy to see us safe and succeeded in both closing the gate and doing the rescue mission.
"We just roam a little to scout the surrounding that's all."
I could hear the other hunters who were present as well talking among themselves.
"Aren't they the S-class that was interviewed earlier?"
"That is Mindanao's guardian."
"I want to ask for autograph, but It's scary to go near him. The three of them looks very strong."
…
It really was true that stronger Awakened could influence weaker one by their mere presence but I still yet to feel it from others.
I want to return home now, I don't feel comfortable with everyone's gases towards us.
"Please report this incident to the city mayor who issued the order. Next time you better join a guild and register to the Hunter association so you will only be send to dungeons that you can handle." I said and the Hunter that I healed nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for you help." He said and I just nodded.
"It's already late at night, we will take our leave now. Clark I'll pick you up here tomorrow around 7:30 a.m. Please take care on your way home."
He just smiled at me and patted me in the head.
"I will, take care as well."
I wave at him and activated my magic.
--Teleport—
We arrive at David's house and we could see that everyone is still here. My parents immediately come over me after seeing me.
"How are things over there? Are you ok?" Mom asks.
"It's fine, the dungeon in Barobo is not as dangerous compared to the first one that I encounter. I'm fine so you guys continue what you were doing, I'll talk to the Chairman first." I assured them and after seeing me look fine they let me go.
I could see David talking to his father. It seems like he come here immediately while I talk to my family.
"Archie! David said that dungeon you entered is another world? Are the dungeon you encountered before feel the same to you?" Chairman immediately asks.
"No, that one is very unique. The gate turned black after some awakened entered it and I could feel a very huge space inside as well unlike the one's I encountered before, that's why we concluded that it's probably a gate that connects to another world." I said.
"That was an amazing discovery. So some dungeon gate connects us to another world. Did you see civilization there?"
"Unfortunately no, we tried to scout the place to look for any signs of civilization but we failed to see one. We were attack by dragons while doing that as well so we decided to retreat. I really want to keep the gate open for research and resources gathering purposes considering that the jungle there possess different types of plant life, mana stones, and monster. And if there are civilization out there we could have established a trade to them but unfortunately we killed the dungeon boss, and the dungeon forcefully throw us outside after. I made a mistake in my analysis, I thought that as long as someone is inside the gate will not close but it doesn't seems to be the case."
The Chairman nodded.
"It seems like you understand the importance of keeping a gate that has other world in it. Regarding the issue of boss in the dungeon, I received research about it but I forgot to share it to you. It's my mistake. It was a very wasteful mistake."
The Chairman shakes his head while regretting not sharing the information to me. Well I couldn't blame him, he is a very busy person after all.
"Although regrettable but there's nothing we could do about it. All guilds in the Philippines should be given the instructions that if they saw black gate they should consult it first to the hunter association so we could then decide what to do with it after analyzing it."
The Chairman nodded in agreement.
"Yes we will do that. By the way before I forgot, tomorrow you will attend the meeting regarding Marinduque. The following day will be the subjugation time so I need you to be there. For you David, you will not join the subjugation meeting tomorrow, you will meet your secretary/advisor tomorrow and plan what is all needed for your Guild to operate. We need that guild to start operating in the next 4 days."
He just nodded at his father.
"Yes Dad. Will my guild base here in Davao?" He asks.
"Yes, you already have a temporary small office for your guild. The design for your final guild office is yet to finish."
"That was great David, you will become a guild master soon."
He look at me and just smiled. He then handed me the sword and I accepted it and return it to my pocket world.
"Is that his new weapon?" The Chairman ask curiously.
"That is just a temporary one that I lend him. His new weapon is still on the making."
The Chairman nodded.
"I will dismiss you now. Go there and celebrate with them." He said and we said our goodbye to the Chairman.
"Let's talk to my room." David grab me in my arm and brought me in his room.
Upon arriving he immediately close the door and pin me in the wall.
"What's with you and that Clark guy? Tell me honestly! Don't you dare tell me that he's just your friend." He ask in a serious tone.
It seems like he take notice of Clark's action earlier.
I didn't expect this side of him. I guess I still have a lot to learn about him.
"Ahmm… You see…." I said while playing with my nails and looking away from him.
Although I'm stronger between the two of us, his dominance over me makes me feel nervous.
How would I expect Clark to make micro movements like that to me when we haven't seen each other after the Bayugan City incident.
David hold my chin and turn my head towards him. I am now looking at his fierce eyes that is looking right into my soul.
"continue, just say it."
"You see, back when I was in Bayugan City, he was assigned to watch over the people who would come and go near the Dungeon Gate. And I often visit that place every night to buy some dish every night."
He stared at me still waiting for me to continue my story.
"So I always notice him and I often make a move on him because he's handsome. Then the incident happened, I saved their group from three giant snakes and we become what you see earlier after that happens." I honestly said.
David put his palm on his face and seated on his bed.
"Let me guess, everything stopped between you because you are here often right?"
I nodded at him.
"But that's all what we are. I have a crush on him before although I still have it right now but I'm already committing my self to you."
He look at me straight in the eyes while having red cheeks.
"Really? I couldn't really expect much from you since we didn't begin as friends and our relationship right now is basically just me pushing you to date me."
"You said that dating is our way to know each other. Don't worry as long as we are dating I won't do anything that will break your trust in me. He was just a simple crush to me."
"Then what am I to you?" He ask in a stern and serious tone.
"You are David to me. The one who could make me happy when you are happy as well." I said while caressing his back and give him a smack on his lips.
"Who's more handsome between us?"
I begun to think about my answer but when he saw me hesitating he immediately push me away and lie down on his bed while putting a pillow in his head.
He's so cute.
"Hahaha, stop that ok? Although he is handsome than you, I believe you that you are much bigger than him. Only you could satisfy me."
I pulled away the pillow in his head and he is now looking at me with disappointment.
"You go there to your Clark. Just ignore me here. He's more handsome than I am anyway."
I laid down at the top of his body and hold his head.
"Why would I give up a treasure like you? I like you more than him, isn't it enough reason to stick to you?" I said and I immediately kiss him.
He respond to my kisses and it only stopped when both of us losses air.
"You really have a thing to man in uniforms. I gotta keep it in mind."
