A/N: Thank you MADSN and Phantom_Wolf_2807 for the power stonesđŸ¥°

"Did you make his items?" Makoy asks while looking at David's armor.
"Yes kinda. I didn't expect it to look like that to him."
"He's so majestic. He looks like he comes out from a fantasy directly. He's cool. I want my own as well."Christine said while poking David's armor.
"David, are you comfortable inside? Do yo have any complains so I could immediately fix it?" I ask.
David was showing the Ferdinand his sword before looking at me to reply.
"I am very comfortable, it's not even heavy, my breathing is not suppress, and above all its not hot inside. Thank you for this magic items, I'll forgot what you did to me this morning because I really like it. But by any chance did you put any attention attraction or something similar to my armors? They are attracting too much eyes everytime I wear it."
"It's because you look so cool when you wear it. You are already attracting too much eyes without it so you better get use to it already."
"I agree with your suggestion earlier. I'll give you all my shares in the Marinduque's dungeon, just give me a something that you promise earlier." Ferdinand said.
"Me too, I'll give up my share's as well." Makoy followed as well.
"Hmm... It's kinda hard for me to give up my shares. I need the money that I could get in that dungeon to start my own guild." Christine said and all of us look at her.
"Didn't the government offer us investments for that? You didn't receive it? I thought only Archie here did not receive such an offer." Ferdinand said.
I see, so the government is the one who's financing them. I thought they received private support but it doesn't seems to be the case. I guess this kind of thing is under our jurisdiction now. The government probably offer monetary support when the Hunter Association still not functional or something. Now that it is, things like this will surely fall to our hands.
Now that I think about it, we have a department here that cater such thing. This is probably one of the reason why we need to send agents to various guilds.
"I refuse the governments offer. Yes they do provide the capital but the profit shares that they are asking is pretty high as well. Can you believe it Archie? They ask me for 20% profit shares, not including the tax as well as partial ownership of the guild. How could I still profit with it?" She asked.
"Well, I actually think that you can still profit a lot by doing that. After all you did not put any single penny in your guild. After paying all of that, the profit that your guild could regenerate would all be yours. Not only that, if your guild perform better you could receive tax incentives. Aside from that, if you request something from the government, you can get it at a discounted price. I think that is fair amount considering how expensive monsters corpses as well as dungeon mana stones and monster cores are." I said.
"What would I need in the government anyway that they could give me at a discounted price?" She asks.
"My items. Yes right, It's my side job to personally create magical items and sell them. Obviously I would prioritize you since you are S class hunters and a necessity to this country."
Her eyes bulge out after realizing that we are infact part of the government. Both Ferdinand and Makoy laugh at her. While David didn't get what's going on.
"Oh Sorry, I forgot that the hunter association is the one that's responsible for that. I'm sorry. This is very embarrassing."
Christine hide her face in her palm.
"Nahh its fine. I also feel the same as well, they kinda taxed me heavily for the sales of my items. The Chairman just promised to reduce it after I gave up the patent for the contract creation."
Everyone look at me like I made a huge mistake even David who didn't get what were talking about earlier.
"Why did you gave up the ownership of such important thing? You could get huge money from it probably." David asks.
"Yeah, you are the first one who could create such important thing. If you haven't given it up you can get huge money from it." Christine said.
"You didn't even sell it, you only traded it for a mere tax reduction. What the hell? You could get both tax reduction and money if you use your wits a little more." Ferdinand added.
Char I didn't expect Ferdinand to be concerned. If I recall it he tried to piss me off before. But I guess it's in the past now so let's move on.
"Who knows what is the result of what I did. Only time well tell. But let me tell you something, creating magic contracts is very easy, you probably could figure it out in a week if you put your mind trying to create it. I received a huge tax discount by giving them something that they could do on a whim and above all, I made the Chairman owe me a huge favor which I can use later on hahahaha."
All of them look at each other wondering why I am laughing.
These idiots didn't even understand the importance of owning a favor to an important person. Tsk. tsk.. they are no good.
"I still feel like you get scammed." Makoy said.
"Me either. I feel like it." Christine added.
"You got scammed by the Chairman, it's very obvious." Ferdinand added.
"I'll talk to my father about it. He scammed you Archie and I could feel it. You already give us a huge discount for the items and did a lot for us so I cannot let my father milk you like this." David said in a deep tone. He seems serious.
"Hayss... You don't understand anything about it. David don't do anything unnecessary, I know what I'm doing. Your father has been good to me and I don't mind if I was actually get scammed. I'm already happy that I get a tax discount. After all the Chairman didn't sold the contracts to other people, he is using it for free in every awakened people in this country. He's obviously not using it for something evil. He just want to put our country into stability without costing the government so much."
"Well if you say so. It's already evening, it's better if we proceed to our training." David said and everyone look at the window and confirm it.
It seems like we all get carried away and talk about useless stuff.
"Wait before we teleport to our destination, Christine what is your decision about the matter? Do you give up your shares in the Marinduque's Dungeon or not?" I ask.
"Fine I'll give it up but you better give me a good magic item." She said.
"Of course." I nodded and we teleported to the Dam where the power generator is operating.
"What are we doing here? We still have our mana, I don't think we need to be here now." David said.
"I need mana for myself. I still haven't finish my equipment and I need mana to power it up. Let's go." I said and we encounter a personnel there expecting our arrival.
They lead us to where we could get electricity and he ask me to just cut the wire there and restore it after Im done.
It seems like they received report on how I was going to do it.
The personnel handed me a paint brush and a paint as well, good thing that they prepared well. Next time I'll buy paint and store them in my pocket world. I start drawing magic circle and it only took me few minutes to finish it.
I then cut the wires and put it in the magic circles and all electricity that it releases,has been sucked out by the magic circle and the magic circle release mana which I then absorb to myself.
I then release my magic items one by one from the world of creation until nothing is left. I restored the wires back to their former state and ended everything.
"Finally I'm done, Mister we will teleport here later again to get some electricity. Will it be fine?" I said.
"Yes sure, I don't mind." He replied and I smiled at him.
"Thank you, do you have a available room here where I could change my clothes?" I asks.
"You can change here, I'll leave this place first."
"Thank you and sorry." I said and he just signaled me that it's fine.
He immediately exit the place and I immediately remove my clothes and change into my mage robe.
I projected my self infront of me to see wether I look good or not. To be honest I look like a celestial being from my outfit, but you could still identify me as a proper mage because of a floating grimoire beside me and a magic staff that is taller that me. I am not like David who is an Ice Mage but uses sword. Although my over all attire is a little weird but nonetheless I like it. After all I look very cool in my down hoodie and a crown in my head.
I exited the place and everyone look at me with their judgement eyes.
I could see Christine shiver for a second but upon seeing my face he regain herself.
Yes I'm probably more intimidating to her now specially since I let everyone know how powerful my magic items was.
"You don't look like a guardian at all." David said while looking at me from the bottom to the top.
"He looks like a Magic Emperor." Christine said.
Ohhh.. Magic Emperor, I like how it sounds.
"I want my own magic item right now as well." Makoy said in a lower tone.
"Me too,it looks so cool." Ferdinand added.
"Let's all go now to our destination. Its about timr that I show you the powers of the Magic Emperor."
"No wait .."
I ignored them and teleported everyone to our designated location.
