Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Atropis

[Ryujins's POV]

" Oh! you are back" Adam said to me with relief in his face. Behind Adam two of my middle school friends waved at me.

I let them inside my house. They sat on the sofa while I prepared some cold drinks.

" You actually are a star now. You are on every news." Paul Noboru said to me in an excited voice. Paul had black hair and light blue eyes. He was the same height as Adam . He was wearing a white shirt and white shorts.

" I cant believe you ran away just so you could skip your exams." George said to me while shaking his head. Geroge had brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a a black hoodie and black shorts

" Arent you sweating under that?" I asked him.

" I got a tatto. I am hiding it from my parents. They will kill me if they found about that."

George replied to me. Just the thought of his parents seeing his tatto was making him shiver.

" If you were so scared why did you even get that?" Adam asked him furiously. Adam had green eyes and brown hair. He was wearing white t-shirt and blue shorts.

Adam and Geroge are cousins. Both of them are from the Emmitt family. Their family was one of the most influential in the world. They owned the the no 2 guild in the world, Emmitt Guild.

Adam was from the main family and George was from the branch family. Despite that they didnt have any enmity between them and were close with each other.

"So how did all of yours entance exams go." I asked them. All of them had given the entrance exams for Astrik Academy. Adam had a related to fighting , Paul was related to music while George had one in alchemy.

Not every < Talent> was related to fighting. Some were related to other stuff as well. There would even be for cooking cleaning and other miscellaneous stuff.

That is why Astrik acdemy had two department.Warrior Department and Production Department.

Adam was a warrior class while Paul and George were production class.

"All of us passed pur exams."Paul said with a smirk on his face. All of them had smile on their faces after all Astrik Academy was their dream school.

Paul the added," We just didn't pass our exams. All of us are in the S class."

"Thats great" I said to them and patted all of them on their back. The classes ranged from S class to E class. If any of your talent or ability had the potential to reach S class then you would be in S class. Other factors would also determine in which class you would be enrolled to.

******

We almost chatted for two hours. I looked at my watch . It was 11 am.

"Boys look after the house I am have to go to work today."

"The three of us are also going out. We have to give our measurments for the academy's uniform.We actually came your house everyday after we saw you on tv. You didnt answer your call so."Adam said to me with concern on his face.

"You know you are quite the tsundere." I said to Adam. Paul and George also nodded.Adam face was beet red.

" I might get late for work so lets just go TSUNDERE boy."

"Pftt" george and Paul started to laugh their asses off.

Adam could only take insults today.

The place I woked at was called Atropis. It was a mercenary group. There are five memebers in the group including me.

The headquaters of guild was located in Sunshine city.

Once I reached the headquarters. I was greeted by robots. The headquarter was a huge dome shaped building. The headquarter was fully run by robots.

Atropis was also referred as a merchant group because we also produced magic items and relics. I used Rune Magic. I was the only one in the world who could do it.That is why they called me Rune Mage.

Rune Magic is actually a language. It is called language of the universe. People only used Rune magic as enchantment for items and could even be used to create relics.

I worked here to create relics and items. I first went to the blacksmith workshop. As I opned the door, I could see a dwarf working on a sword. He was Hall Malleus. He noticed that some one had opened the door.

"Who disturbs me when I am work--." As he turned back he said" Oh Ryujin it was you."

"How are you Hall?" I asked him.

Hall wiped the sweat off his forehead.He looked exhausted."Not so fine, without you the workload just increases."

Not only did I encahnt items and create relics but I also made many robots in this dome. Enchanting and programming had quite the same protocols and procedures so i picked programming as well.

"Dont worry, I will be giving half of the robots authority to you."

As soon as i said that, Hall grabbed both of my shoulders and started to shake me" Hey dont quit.Without you .our group can go broke and my work wiil only increase."

As I put his hands away. " I am not quitting. I dont need many robots any way so you can use them." I reassured him.

"Thank god! I wonder what I would do without you."He said to me.

"You know that sounds a bit creepy when an oldman like you says it to a young man like me."

"You know your annoying right."As he said that he handed me some reports.

" Ok then off to work" I said. As I was walking out of the door. " Ryujin be proud of what you did at the Sunset city." Hall told me while giving me a thumbs up. I only nodded.

I had my own lab in the headquarters. Today I was going to make some mana cores.

Usually Mana cores could only be obtained from monsters but if you could control man perfectly, compress it , enchant it then mana core can be made. However this was only possible in theory because man had certain impurities and eliminating those impurites was impossible.

Except for me, I could easily erase only the impurites using Kairos. That is why the mana cores I sold in the market was called 'Rune Core'. I also usually used this core to create items and relics.

I wore an apron and a set of lab glasses." Lets go to work."

******

I worked for 4 hours. I then had a meal with Hall. Other group members were not in the headquarter today.

"I have enchanted and made every Rune core you would need for a whole month."I said to Hall as I was eating my salad.

Hall only nodded.

After that I returned home. I gave my pets food, took a shower and sat on my sofa to watch some anime but again I heard some ring my doorbell.

"Why do I have some many guests today?"I looked at my security monitor.

Arthur was with someone standing at the door.
