The Blue Iron Shield guild could indeed be categorized as a small guild, with most of its members being Rank 1 Warriors.
Not long after getting acquainted with all the members of the Blue Iron Shield Guild, Alexander immediately joined Group 3 of the Blue Iron Shield Guild.
The Blue Iron Shield Guild has only three groups: Group 3 for beginners or those with low power; Group 2 for those considered strong enough and with potential to become part of the core group; and lastly, Group 1 or the core group, which is the main strength of the Blue Iron Shield Guild.
As a new member and also a Rank 0 Warrior, Alexander naturally joined Group 3.
Group 3 consisted of only 6 people, and with the entry of Alexander, the number of group 3 members increased to 7. Because Group 3 had few members, Alexander quickly memorized their names.
The leader of group 3 was a man named Grion Ash, who appeared to be nearing 40 years old and was clearly a veteran. Despite this, he was only in Group 3.
Grion Ash was merely a middle Rank 1 Warrior. Despite this, his extensive experience made him suitable to lead Group 3.
There was no vice leader or other positions since the group was small—it had only one position for the group leader.
Alexander, who had just joined, immediately received a mission because the group he joined was about to undertake a mission.
Group 3 gathered in a guild room, including Alexander, who was eager to know the mission to quickly level up.
"Group 3 members, we have a mission now. Our mission is to hunt down some level 0 bivorch roaming around and investigate information about a group of level 1 bivorch who often disturb residents outside Anvel City."
Shortly after gathering, Grion Ash, the leader of group 3, immediately explained the mission they would undertake today.
This time, group 3 received a mission to defeat roaming level 0 bivorch near Anvel city and investigate a suspicious group of level 1 bivorch.
This was exactly what Alexander was looking for; it gave him a good opportunity to level up.
Alexander and group 3, with minimal preparation, immediately headed to the location provided to them.
During the journey, Alexander continued to socialize with the other members, making small talk.
Group 3 consisted of 7 members, including Alexander. None of them were Healer Warriors—they were mostly close combat fighters. There was only one Mage Warrior who would act as a long-range attacker.
Alexander himself was only level 5 and had only one skill, Skull Sword Slash, which meant he was also a close combat fighter.
The journey to the mission location was not long. They soon arrived at a place reported to have a group of level 0 Bivorch.
Upon arrival, Alexander and group 3 were soon face-to-face with a group of level 0 Bivorch. The group leader quickly gave instructions to his team.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
"Bam!"
Soon after Grion Ash gave instructions to his team, the battle began, and the sounds of clashes between group 3 and the group of level 0 Bivorch could not be avoided.
The Tanker Warriors and close combat fighters immediately launched attacks following Grion Ash's instructions, including Alexander, who had now fused with Skeba and started attacking.
"System, perform fusion!"
----
[Ding!]
[The host is about to perform fusion.]
----
"Bling!"
Alexander soon found himself within Skeba and launched Skull Sword Slash attacks towards the group of level 0 Bivorch.
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
Alexander's attacks quickly hit the group of Bivorch and killed them.
Watching this, group 3 members were inevitably surprised at Alexander's power, knowing he was supposed to be just a Rank 0 Warrior.
"Isn't he a rank 0 warrior?" One member asked another, puzzled by Alexander's ease in killing the level 0 bivorch.
"You're right. Did he lie about his rank?" Another member wondered if Alexander had lied about his rank or if there was any reason for Alexander to deceive them.
Alexander's displayed strength was enough to be considered an early-stage Rank 1 Warrior, and his attack power was on par with group 3's leader himself.
Alexander, on the other hand, paid no attention to his surprised comrades. He was busy finishing off the bivorch to gain more experience.
Soon, the group of level 0 Bivorch was quickly defeated, with Alexander delivering the final blow to all of them.
----
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Host and partner have leveled up.]
[5 stat points added]
----
"System, stop the fusion and add points as before."
----
[Ding!]
[Fusion will be terminated.]
[Ding!]
[Points have been added as requested.]
----
"Bling!"
Alexander then stopped the fusion and exited Skeba's body. As usual, Alexander's body seemed enveloped in white aura after leveling up and adding stat points.
"Alexander, you're really strong. Are you really just a rank 0 warrior?" Grion Ash couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I'm indeed only a rank 0 warrior, but I'm somewhat different from other rank 0 warriors," Alexander replied to Grion Ash, unable to disclose that he could level up and become stronger in the future, so he only said he was different from other Rank 0 Warriors.
"That's impressive, Alexander." Grion Ash couldn't help but praise him.
"Because we also have an investigation mission for the group of Level 1 Bivorch, let's proceed to the next mission."
Grion Ash instructed them to proceed to the next mission. Alexander and his group then headed to the area where it was said there was a suspicious group of level 1 Bivorch.
