Chapter 11 Twilight Guild.
The Twilight guild, although ranked number three amongst all the guilds on the Earth, was rarely mentioned by the author.
I think it was only mentioned twice by the author.
The main reason for this I think is that the guild had no main character at all in it.
It had No one who was pivotal to the main plot of the novel.
Besides, It was one of the guilds that fell after the Third apocalypse, which happened in 2070.
And this was also the reason I decided to enter it.
It Had no Calamity magnet(protagonist)
at all, which was a great blessing. And about its fall, I could probably figure something out during the years I had left.
And currently, it was still a force to be reckoned with because the two prodigies of t.i.tan and Behemoth who were Elena Parker and Ben Fornum respectively were still unknown.
Twilight only suffered when these two prodigies were revealed.
But currently? They were the best option I could choose.
"I should probably ask for an apartment and education for Samantha, I don"t think she is getting a proper education in the orphanage."
As I was thinking about my terms for the contract we soon stopped.
Stepping out of the car I was immediately enamored by the building in front of me. It was at least 150 stories tall and looked to be crafted with the finest materials and technology mankind could offer. As I was enjoying the marvelous sight in front of me.
The twilight guilds recruiter said to me.
"Please follow me, The guild master is waiting for you. "
"Guildmaster?This shouldn"t be so important for the guild master to personally come, should it?
I mean yeah I was good but I don"t think I"m this good!
Nevertheless, I followed the man inside the building.
Everyone currently presents inside the building was looking at us.
Feeling Nothing from their gazes, I just followed the man until we reached the elevator.
Entering the elevator he typed some b.u.t.tons and soon we were at what I a.s.sumed to be the top floor of this building.
He quickly led me to a door and knocked on it.
"You can come in."
An Icy voice. One that demanded supremacy rang out.
The pressure from that sentence alone was making me tremble!
The Man opened the door and I went inside.
I was greeted by an entire cohort of people all sitting around a crescent-shaped table.
There were Thirteen in total. Six sitting on each side and one man sitting in the center.
Seeing him I knew it was the guildmaster.
The pressure he was exerting confirmed it.
"He"s probably S rank."
The guildmaster gestured for me to come forward. I stepped forward and was soon in the middle of the crescent table, free for all eyes to view me.
"Why do you want to join us and not the other guilds that are above us?"
The guildmaster asked me.
It all depended on this answer, if my answer did not meet his expectations I was probably going to die.
"Because both t.i.tan and behemoth will work me to the bone, t.i.tan will try to keep its first spot while behemoth will try to surpa.s.s t.i.tan. The Union would probably be the same. Oh, and as a plus, the name twilight is also cool."
"Do you take me for a fool? "
The guild master replied to my answer, disbelief in his tone.
... I had to make up something fast, thinking of an answer I confidently voiced it out.
"Because twilight has the best chances for growth currently. "
They all looked at me. Every person who was sitting to the side of the guild master looked at me. p
A Dozen high-ranked Awakened pressures fell upon me.
My knees trembled and I was covered in sweat.
Seeing my condition. The guildmaster spoke out.
"Stop it, we are not here to threaten a child."
Immediately all the terrifying pressures around me disappeared, and I was finally able to stand up.
"And you, Explain."
The guildmaster spoke with doubt evident in his voice.
"It"s because t.i.tan and behemoth will probably fight each other for the top spot. Twilight can stay out of it and strengthen themselves, so when both the top two guilds are weak we can sweep in and take the first spot! "
They all looked at me with apprehension.
Then one elder, Who was sitting to the right of the guild master spoke.
"The moment we do that both of them will team up and destroy us."
I replied to him.
"Yes, you all would probably be destroyed it...
If you didn"t have me."
Gaining some confidence I voiced out again.
"Come on, you have the opportunity to get humanity"s first spatial affinity awakened into your guild, one that has a ridiculously high ice affinity and an SS-ranked talent. Do you honestly want to miss this opportunity?"
They all gazed upon me, trying to understand my intentions.
Hah fool, I trained my poker face in the business industry for 10 years! There was nothing you could glean from these cold eyes
After a minute or two of waiting. The guildmaster spoke.
"Give him the contract we prepared."
An elder stood up at his request and walked up over to me and handed me a contract.
Before reading it I realized it was a management contract.
A contract that if broken, Would destroy the party that went against the terms listed against it.
Reading through it, I was surprised by how lenient it was towards me and strict towards the guild.
According to the contract, The guild would have to provide me with training and will ensure that I get the best facilities for it, I would have specific martial and mana techniques given to me, and my salary would be set up to 500,000 Studs If I did nothing and would increase if I contributed to guild activities, I would also get a personal a.s.sistant to do the more boring work, Besides it also listed that the contractor and the contractee would have to work for the best interests of each other.
Reading it again, It was perfect.
Honestly, it was seriously good and I was tempted to accept it immediately but I had my own two conditions.
"I would like to add two more terms to the contract."
"That is already lenient enough Child. "
An elder spoke to me, the same one that gave me the contract. To him I replied.
"Please listen to my terms first Sir. I would first like an apartment, one that is within a building belonging to the twilight guild that had the best security, and would also like the guild to provide my sister with the best education possible for her age."
"... that"s it?"
"Yes."
Honestly, this was pretty possible for a guild of their size. It wasn"t even something to think over for a while.
"Fine, You need to sign the contract with your mana and all of your terms will be accepted. "
"Thank you but there is a problem."
"... What is it now? "
"How do I sign with mana"
They all looked Stupefied, probably because they thought that I didn"t know how to use mana at all.
I mean come on, I just came to this world, how the h.e.l.l was I supposed to know how to control mana?
An elder stood up and placed his hand on my back and asked me.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
I replied and then I felt a weird tingle in my back, It was traveling from my back toward my back and into my hands.
Before I could figure out that it was the mana inside me he was stimulating, the contract accepted the mana that was within my hands.
And just like that
The contract was signed.
