The crowd still hadn’t cleared, Farrs were still in the hall, still contemplating and discussing amongst themselves where they would start from.
Those that already have a party of their own, discussed with other parties and those who didn’t tried to join one all the ti they wanted to enter the Abyss.
anwhile, at the far side of the hall, resting on the wall was Aegon, his hands folded as he looked unboarded by the three Farrs who were speaking to him.
"Who does this guy think he is?" one of them said with a vexed expression.
"Look brother, he’s acting as if we are not here..."
"I told you we were at the weapon shop yesterday. You looked in our direction which made us friends."
Hearing this, Aegon raised his gaze at them and then nodded like he didn’t have words to respond, he still felt unboarded.
"Tsk... He’s acting tough with us!"
"Do you know who we are? We are called The Three Brothers of Survival."
"And do you know why we are called that? I will tell you. It is because we have entered the Abyss countless tis and co out without any bruises."
"Yes, we awakened at the sa ti. Started from E-rank middle stage and we are now at D-rank middle stage, all under a single year."
"It is an accomplishnt, do you know that? What rank are you?"
Aegon simply stared at them, he hadn’t heard of them and truly didn’t care who or what they were.
The thing is, they were just lying, as the na ’The Three Brothers of Survival’ was given by themselves, nobody ever called them that.
Although they did move from E-rank middle stage to D-rank middle stage under a year and saw it as an accomplishnt.
The reason being as solo farrs they have their own resources and were able to use it well. The reason why it is an accomplishnt to them is because not everyone could move at that rate.
Actually, they are people who could. But because these brothers used to enter the parts of the abyss that were considered deadly, they got more resources and ca out alive, which was why they nad themselves ’The Three Brothers of Survival’.
"Hilarious." Aegon uttered.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Do you take us for a joke?!"
The voice of this farr beca so loud that it caught the attention of so farrs who were in that area.
It was a long and wide hall so it was impossible to draw everyone but the ones around them.
"What is going on there?" a random male farr turned to see.
"Oh, it is the Three Brothers of Survival." a female farr responded.
"The Three Brothers of Survival? Never heard that before. Who are they?"
"Well, it is no surprise, that is what they call themselves, no one actually calls them that."
The three brothers heard this and felt a bit embarrassed, and so to cover up for what had been said and passed around, one of them painted to Aegon and shouted.
"Hey, I dare you for a challenge!"
Hearing this, the surrounding farrs beca more interested and walked towards to see well.
"I said, I dare you for a challenge. and you, one on one, let see how strong you are."
The crowd followed the hand of the brother who spoke and then landed on a tall sleek handso man.
"Wow, who is that?" the previous female farr asked.
"I don’t know." the male farr responded, baffled.
"I have never seen him before, is he a higher rank Farr? He looks... dreamy." the lady said.
Hearing that no one was paying attention to his request of challenge, the brother who had asked beca even more embarrassed, but now with a bit of rage.
The way Aegon stood, his posture, his handso face, his sleek dressing, everything about Aegon that made the other Farrs look at him in amazent, made this brother upset.
Just then, he was about to charge towards Aegon when suddenly both of his brothers held him back dragging his hands.
"W... what are you doing? Let go!" He yelled, but his brothers whispered to him.
"Get yourself together. Have you forgotten that it is forbidden for Farrs to fight amongst themselves, and we are in the Farrs Association of all places... hn?"
Upon hearing this, the brother cald himself down while looking upwards around the hall. There were a lot of security caras and he knew if he was to start a fight there was no way of escaping.
With this knowledge he removed his hands from his brother’s grasp and walked away into the crowd.
"Wow, did you see that?"
"Yeah, that guy didn’t even do anything, and one of those brothers lost."
"Who is he?
’Looks like they have retreated. If worse cos to worse, I would have beat the hell out of that guy.’ Aegon said this in his heart, but his face remained expressionless with no reaction whatsoever.
Just then, while everything was dying down and the crowd was about to leave the scene; a single voice spoke out.
"Hold on, I know him. He is a F-rank Farr."
The voice sounded nonchalant as if not wanting the fun to end. They could have easily kept it to themselves, but no, they had to talk.
Upon hearing this, Aegon’s eyes widened while he searched for the voice who said that, but couldn’t find them.
The announcent had already gone a great distance and everyone imdiately turned back their gaze to Aegon.
"Wait what?"
"F-rank?"
"Exactly, now I know where I’ve seen him from... yes, his is F-rank. I was there when he got his license."
This caught the attention of almost all the crowd and they all turned to Aegon and began wondering if he was truly F-rank.
anwhile, the brothers had also heard this and the one who challenged Aegon wanted to go back and make his claim again.
However, one of his brothers tapped him and gestured with his chin for him to look upwards.
The brother did and raised his gaze, there he saw a dark glass like balcony attached to the hall. It extended to almost half of the hall.
In this balcony, there were two individuals standing beside each other both in suits. The glass was tinted so it was difficult to know exactly who they were, but one of the brothers said.
"That’s the chairman and vice chairman. They are watching, so think before you act."
The brother who was about to et Aegon stared at Aegon and back at the glass. He then nodded his head and went away with his brothers.
anwhile, at this every mont a certain crowd had already ford in front of Aegon, asking and wondering if he was truly the F-rank that awakened a while ago.
He didn’t say anything and simply paid no attention to them. Seeing his attitude, a man who had the fac of ’know your senior’ ✍🏼was about to approach Aegon when suddenly a voice spoke out.
"Quiet!"
The man who was about to approach Aegon, stopped, turned around and saw a man with red hair walking up to the stage.
"T... that’s the B-rank top stage, Crimson Lion." the man who was supposed to approach Aegon, said and then walked away from Aegon to listen.
Aegon’s gaze was raised up as he saw this person on the stage, then he mumbled.
"So they have reached a conclusion?"
The B-rank top stage, Crimson Lion took out the microphone from its stand and held it with both hands saying.
"We have co to a conclusion on what the mission will be like. Since we can’t all just enter the Abyss and neglect a chance of the thieves being in the city, we have decided to move in groups."
"The first group would take the city, while the second would take the Abyss. Now," he held his chest with his left hand, while the microphone stayed in his right hand, then continued. "...I and my own party would be going into the Abyss, so if you wish to enter the Abyss you would have to join my group."
"While the city group would follow the B-rank middle stage Farr, Mikey." He pointed at a man who had spiked green hair as the person walked up to the stage and stood beside the crimson lion.
"Those who wish to join my group move to my right, while those who wish to join Mikey’s group move to my left."
In less than three minutes the groups had been made and Farrs moved to the group they wanted to.
The group of the Crimson Lion had more numbers then the green hair Mikey, but the numbers were still large.
At that mont, the hall had been divided into two, the right side filled with a set of Farrs and the left with another set of Farrs.
However, in the middle was empty with only one man resting his back on the wall of the hall.
He had his hands tucked in his pockets while his gaze was on the groups that had been ford.
It was Aegon.
"What is he doing? Does he not know which group to join."
"I’m sure he’s just scared, he is F-rank after all."
Both groups began to talk amongst themselves, when suddenly Aegon removed himself from the wall and walked to the middle of the groups.
He stood for a few seconds and looked at both sides as though he was thinking which he should join.
But so people were already murmuring that they did not want him, because they wouldn’t have ti to be taking care of a F-rank nobody.
’There’s no point in entering one of these, they don’t even know what they are up against.’
After about a minute of standing and thinking, Aegon turned around and began to walk away, his hand still in his pocket, while his trench coat danced from every step.
"What... Is he leaving?!"
"Did he really get scared?"
All eyes were on him, even the Crimson Lion and Mickey, they didn’t know who he was or why he didn’t join a group, but, while their heads were filled with thoughts, their eyes saw sothing illuminating.
At that mont, Aegon’s body, while he was still walking, began to glow gold as it engulfed his entire body.
Just then, under a heartbeat, he vanished before the eyes of everyone who watched.
Upon witnessing this, the entire hall went dead silent like a graveyard, to the point that, if a single pin dropped on the ground, it could be heard.
