Sora and Kara were shocked by Emily's words.

  Emily smiled at their rea. “There’s a lot you learn just from someone’s name, you know… But don’t worry, we have no reason to harm you.”

  “You two seem like real talents—Kara Spirine, a promising healer, and you…” She frowned slightly. “An all-rounder? Are you still following that path?”

  “Yes… I’ve learned many skills along the way and adapt acc to situations,” Sora replied, remembering Kara’s advice about mastering one skill instead of learning a hundred.

  ‘The problem is, I still haven’t found what I really like, or what on suits me best. I don’t even know if I want to foagic, being a warrior, or oal spells… And my stro strength is still body f, which makes me more of a tank than anything else,’ he thought to himself.

  He had spent a few years iime Space] honing his skills, pushing them to new levels, but even he knew his style was chaotic. He had wao rely on Alius to help refine his teiques, but with Alius gone and the event in Japan fast approag, he hadn’t takeime to train more.

  Emily’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. “I’ll o see more of your bat style to judge, but jumping from level 75 to 110 in a few weeks and and being an all-rounder doesn’t quite add up. You clearly have secrets, and I won’t pry for now, but you should start mastering aspects of your strength o a time.”

  Kim Dong, sitting beside her, nodded. “Before we move forward, tell me your pns for the future. I’ll decide if you’ll be a fit for uild.”

  “We’ve been reeo participate in the event in Japan,” Sora expined, “and we pn to head there soon for the regional qualifiers. For noant to settle in Seoul and prepare.”

  “Oh, that's iing. You got a spot in the qualifiers! West Europe, I assume? You should be able to secure a spot then,” Kim Dong chuckled, before adding "We're also taking part in that event, but represent the region of South Korea."

  “South Korea is sidered a region?” Kara asked, surprised.

  Emily nodded. “Any pce with enough power tration be sidered a region. There’s even a guild in the USA that has its iions are designated when an Adventurer’s Guild uild territory reaches a certain level. But a cluster of low-level tries like i Europe also forms a region.”

  “Qualifiers in South Korea are tough,” Emily tinued with a grin. “I don’t thiher of you would make it—unless you beat this old man!” She poi Kim Dong, ughing at her own joke.

  Kim Dong scowled. “Emily, get out. You don’t respect your leader even in front of newers.”

  “No, you, get out. Who said I was done here?” Emily coughed and resumed her serious tone. “It’s good you’re entering the Assio. It’s the best ce for pyers to gain incredible power in a short time. Many top-ranked pyers in the world rose through that event. With you two joining, we might even have six or seven pyers in the event—if that girl make it into the top 20 of ion.”

  Kim Dong waved off her ents. “Join the guild, kids! I like the two of you. Ignore Emily—I’m the boss here.”

  Emily shot back, “What boss? You wouldn’t get anywhere without me. Don’t fet who helped you start ARAM!”

  Sora and Kara, ign the bickering, focused on the tracts that appeared before them.

  [Guild Rules][Guild members are forbidden from harming each other outside of duels or special events requiring such a thing.]

  [Guild members must give a minimum of 2% of their gold earnings to the guild.]

  [Guild members must give a minimum of 1% of their experience earnings to the guild.]

  [In guild activities, loot is randomly distributed unless specified in a tract.]

  [Guild members are forbidden from tinuously staying in a safe zone for more than a month without permission. A total of 3 months per year is allowed.]

  [Guild members must participate in at least 3 er year.]

  [Guild members earn Guild Points (GP) through activities, which be used to buy items from the guild shop, trade for items from the treasury, or withdraw gold.]

  [Guild members use gold or items to trade fuild Points.]

  [Guild members leave at any time, excluding dungeons or raids, voiding the tract.]

  [Are you willing to join the guild [All Random All Mid]?]S the rules, noting that while they were demanding, he wouldn’t mind them for now since he could leave at any time. Sharing gold and experience wasn’t ideal, but with only 1-2% being taken, it was tolerable.

  He pressed [Yes], and immediately a notification appeared asking if he wao hide or dispy his guild tag. He chose to hide it.

  A gauge appeared o his name in his profile, showing how much experiend gold he was sending to the guild. He opehe guild member list and found a familiar name, grayed out: [Rachel Cude: Rookie, Level 117].

  ‘That bitch really is here… and her name’s in gray, just like a few others,’ Sora thought, a small smile creeping onto his face as his pn slowly took shape.

  “Wele to ARAM. Wow, you’ve only been here a few seds and you’re already hiding yuild tag? Are you ashamed of our name?” Kim Dong teased, pretending to be angry.

  “Not at all,” Sora replied. “I just think it’s cooler to show only my he guild ’s fine.”

  Emily smiled at his words, and expined, “You’ll have a rookie period of at least a week. After that, we’ll see if you get promoted to full members. Now, do you want to live on the same floor, or different floors? Each floor has a dozen apartments and a butler who handles all chores. You bring your family or friends to live here if you’d like.”

  Sora shuddered at the suggestion. ‘As if I’d bring my parents to live in the same building as Rachel. Worst idea ever.’

  “What do you think, Kara?” Sora asked.

  “I don’t have family t here, but we live on the same floor,” Kara answered, blushing slightly, trying to hide their retionship.

  “Same floor, same apartment—it’s all the same” Sora said, not thinking too much about it.

  "What the hell are you saying? Why say it like that?" Kara blurted, embarrassed.

  Emily giggled at their exge. “You’ll both be oh floor. It's a floor we prepare for couples. Talk to the receptionist for more information ter. For now, I want to test both of you.”

  “I’ll take these two with me,” Emily told Kim Dong. “There’s not much time left before the event, and I o see what they’re worth, maybe even push them a bit.”

  Kim Dong waved them off. “Have fun. See you ter.”

  Feeling they didn't have much of a choice, Sora and Kara followed Emily into the elevator, which soon took them to the 404th floor. When the doors opehey found themselves in a space that looked abnormal.

  The ceiling was 50 meters above their heads, and the area inside was far rger than it appeared from the outside. Notig their gazes, Emily had a smile on her face.

  “This is a space-augmented floor. Masons over level 100 create miracles. Follow me, and we’ll find a quiet pce,” Emily said as they moved deeper into the space.

  Several guild members greeted Emily along the way, most between levels 100 and 120. They soon arrived at a rge training room.

  “Surveilnce system off. Sound rec off. Privacy setting: Kim Dong and Emily Frekk,” Emily anded, adding more keywords that suggested they were entering a private zone.

  “Now eak freely,” she said, turning to face them. “I uand that you might not fully trust me yet—we’ve only known each other for half an hour—but when high-level information is exged, tracts are necessary.”

  “Only high-level information requires a tract? Why not use tracts with everyone in the guild?” Kara asked.

  “We do, for recruits who raining and to share sensitive information,” Emily replied.

  Sora was surprised. ‘Then how Rachel betray them if she signed a tra top of the guild rules? Does she have a way around it, or is she avoiding tracts?’ Sora wondered.

  A nondisclreement appeared before them. It was a detailed four-party tract, and Kim Dong had already sig, even though he wasn’t present. It also ehat both parties would be safe from harm.

  "I’m aware you both have supreme skills or powerful innate abilities, so let’s not pretend otherwise. I help you."

  "You are right to hide them, however pretty much everyone who achieve such a rapid growth, or do something seemingly impossible, has one of those. Just make sure no one perfectly uands their limits or weaknesses."

  Sora sighed at her words. Ever sihat woman, Hannah, had told them simir words, they would meet people like them. It seemed maraordinary individuals held simir skills.

  “Let's start with you Ralph, I feel like you're itg for a fight, so let's see what you're capable of.”
