When Silos Kartof and his men left, Pedro followed Faunia and headed inside one of the buildings that stood like walls. It was the building located in the centermost area where there was a huge crowd."Did you see the Teniente Commandante and his men group upon the crew members of the late Vice Almirante Soledad?"
"Yeah! Yeah! I heard rumors that Teniente Commandante Silos has his eyes on the famed s.h.i.+p Karakoa!"
"So that"s why! No wonder he went to "welcome" the crew members."
"Teniente Commandante might have someone with high ranks backing him up... We must take advantage of this recruitment event and be a part of his crew!"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
The crowd was gossiping about what they witnessed earlier. The centermost building was where the registration for the recruitment event was being held.
Consequently, It is also where the application area for the aspiring new members of BHO was located. Faunia and Pedro looked around inside the building, which was a huge hall with two stairs that was filled with long lines. Not knowing where the line for the application area was, Pedro asked a lady who was last in the line that was queued at the right.
"Excuse me, Madam. Is this the line for the application area to become an official member of the organization?"
"Ah!" The lady jumped backward from astonishment, "You surprised me! Yes. Yes, this is the line young man!"
"Thank you." Pedro nodded with a smile.
Pedro allowed Faunia to line up in front of him. This made the lady in front of them to glance at Faunia with confusion.
"Aww... little girl, are you here to support your elder brother? How sweet of you."
The lady crouched and became fond of Faunia"s "cuteness". Faunia frowned but before she could say anything, the woman continued.
"Sadly, the organization can only allow your brother to go pa.s.s through the second floor. So I suggest you to stay in a cafe located beside this building."
"This pest!" Faunia was burning in irritation deep inside.
"Ehem... Calm down! We don"t want to attract unnecessary attention, right?" Pedro scolded mentally. It made Faunia look towards Pedro with a pout.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" She burst telepathically.
"It"s ok little girl. Your brother will be back in a few minutes. After he finished his application procedures, you can both enter the building walls and proceed to the outer area of BHO HQ! That"s if your brother becomes a BHO member. Hehe." The lady smirked after s.h.i.+fting her gaze to Pedro.
"Please do not mind us. I"ll deal with this matter later on. Thank you for your advice!" Pedro replied after seeing the fury in Faunia"s eyes.
"Your choice." The lady turned around and calmly waited on the line.
Minutes later, they were able to arrive on the second floor of that building. On the second floor, there was only one hallway leading the line to a door at the farthest end. outside the door was a kid who was sitting on a chair.
The kid was leaning back to the chair and was in deep sleep. He was wearing a plain, blue overcoat with a white tag on his arm. A "VO" was written on the white tag that was wrapped on his arm. His head was covered with a knight"s helm whilst his arms were crossed.
Applicants pa.s.s through the door one by one. Upon entering one candidate, the door will close and after a few seconds, the door will open once again, indicating for the next applicant to enter.
After minutes of falling in line, there were only two more applicants before it was Faunia"s turn. The kid, apparently, woke up from his sleep. His gaze slowly focused on Faunia.
"Little girl! Are you going to register as a member of the organization?" The kid asked as he took off his helm. Faunia looked back at him and simply nodded in response.
"Hmm... I don"t think you are old enough to register yet." The kid stood and approached Faunia.
"Not old enough?!" Faunia frowned and was getting more irritated. Hence, she ignored the kid, glanced at Pedro and talked telepathically.
"Human, My temper is almost at its limits!"
"Resist it! Resist it! Remember, We don"t want to attract unnecessary attention, right?"
"Tch!" Faunia can"t help but focus her gaze forward whilst crossing her arms. She ignored the kid and Pedro.
"Uhm... Mister, are you somehow her acquaintance? I am sorry to inform you that only you would be allowed to enter the registration hall. Your sister can wait at the nearby cafe." Seeing Faunia having tantrums, the kid approached Pedro.
"Yes, I am with her. There"s no need for you to worry. She is also here to register and become a member of the organization."
"Hahaha~" The kid burst in laughter that made Faunia stare at him, filled with killing intent. The happy expression of the kid became serious and calm in an instant.
"Little girl! I advise you not to look towards an Officer like that! If it would have been others, you would have had broken arms already." The kid released magical energy similar to how strong Pedro"s current magical energy/aura.
Despite the kid"s warning, Faunia remained silent and kept staring. Beads of sweat started to fall in Pedro"s forehead because, in any second, something bad might happen.
"There! There! Please come down, the two of you." Pedro forced a smile and tried to stop the conflict between the two.
"Move aside! I must teach this little girl, that she must never offend an officer of this organization!" the kid pushed Pedro to the side as he unsheathed his sword.
Flick!
Bag!
With a flick of Faunia"s finger to the kid"s chest, the kid was sent flying through the wall. The brick wall was crushed and it burst into pieces, making the door fall down and giving a view inside the room.
Inside the room was a long table with several BHO officers and officials sitting. Luckily, at the far end of the table, a middle-aged man with tobacco in his mouth caught the head of the kid with his one hand.
His hand was big enough, to grasp the head of the kid. Everyone went silent because of shock. The kid became unconscious whilst the BHO officers and officials who were sitting behind the long table glance towards Pedro with a calm expression.
"Not good." Pedro glanced back at them through the hole in the wall and forced out a smile.
Faunia rushed to Pedro like a cute little girl who got saved from a bad person by her elder brother.
"Tha~thank you for saving me from that bad kid, elder brother!" Faunia acted perfectly like a relieved little girl.
"@k! Look what have you done!" Pedro can"t help but curse deep inside. Everyone recovered from their shock and can only stare at Pedro or the hole in the wall.

"Ehem! We don"t want to attract unnecessary attention, right?" Faunia sent Pedro a faint smile.
