I looked strangely at her while I was eating my third cake. These starry cakes were really far more delicious than the red velvet cakes. Each one was enough to eliminate twenty-five points of hunger value.
Three layers, each one was ford of four cakes, so each layer was enough to refresh my hunger value to zero. I didn't plan to use them all at once, as this third cake was enough for . I stored the rest then while saying:
"I won't take any art from any of my team."
"Don't be silly, that's now what I ant," she replied instantly.
"Then what is your aning?"
"During these competitions, unfortunate events might happen to others outside the competition."
Her words carried only one aning to , this competition wasn't a peaceful contest, it was a bloodbath. I didn't care, however she added:
"If you have more trustworthy players, you should invite them here."
I didn't get her aning, so I asked:
"They must be trusted?"
"Yes."
"Then those here are enough for ."
"Sigh," Aria then looked towards her retreating players, "If you have more ti, I'm sure you would surpass on the numbers of trusted players, what a loss."
I didn't get her words, however Shin sent a private ssage informing of what I was missing here. It seed that the more players I have, the more mystic arts I would get eventually.
I looked towards everyone around here as I said:
"I wouldn't trade any one of them with an army, they are more than enough for ."
"Silly girl," Aria said with a chuckle, at the sa ti I moved to face the incoming test.
"Take care of yourself, there are twenty assassin chasing them," Aria said.
"I know."
I replied shortly as I raised my spear and directed it towards the front. I didn't cancel my trick yet, my spear was followed by an entourage of one hundred and eighty five spear shadows.
The spears were launched, and the assassins got smashed with them.
"You have won your safe path towards the inside, why interfere with other tests?"
The sa voice that I heard before ca abruptly with so calm that made feel threatened. Aria stepped up in this mont as she said:
"She is our commissioned player to defend us, and she got her commission already and did her part of the bargain."
She was pointing towards the last piece of cake that I was eating, which made feel awkward. Was I tricked by this little girl here or what?
The sound didn't reply again, however it seed he was only audible for Aria and her n as she turned after a few monts and said:
"We can enter now."
"Let's go."
I ordered my players as she ordered hers to enter the restaurant. Now I wasn't in danger, as my hunger value was now ten points only. the restaurant was heavily guarded , and the guards we t inside were much more than outside.
"What is this eting exactly?" I asked with a whisper.
"This is just an introductory eting, where we can sign the nas of our groups and guilds to participate in the upcoming competition," she explained with a whisper too.
"Will there be any fight?" I asked as I didn't believe being here would be so peaceful.
"This is a golden thumb rule, never do a fight in the introductory eting. At the competition you can fight as much as you want till your heart's content. However right now you need to control yourself," she replied softly.
I just glanced silently at her, I wasn't that warmonger, I only needed to be ready for all the odds.
The path we were walking was guided by the group of swordsn we t at the front gate. We continued to climb towards the top slowly through very comfortable stairs.
I expected the eting to be on the highest floor, where the scenery was spectacularly beautiful, and secluded from any intruders or curious eyes.
Halfway to the top, Aria leaned at as we both were the head of the big group following us, then she whispered:
"This eting will have all the big nas in our ga world, and mostly they don't belong to our town. So it would be nice if we managed to form good relations with them."
"I can make relationships with groups, however guilds I can't trust."
She smiled as she replied:
"That's interesting, I thought you can handle guilds very easily."
I smirked as I replied:
"Guilds and I don't match, so if you don't want to create more enemies then refrain from making handle them."
She sighed. I felt her helplessness so I asked:
"What's wrong? Is there anything that I can help with?"
She sighed again before saying:
"It's just that bastard left the group in a state of total ss. I'm not sure why he did it except if he wanted to destroy the group from inside, and even now he didn't give up doing that."
That really seed typical for that bastard. I knew she would face hardships, however not to the degree to make her helpless. She was a tough girl like , if there was a helpless situation in front of her, then it would co from things she couldn't control.
Like her elders for example.
"Are they the elders?"
She looked strangely at , so I replied back explaining how I figured that out:
"I was a princess and a general at my kingdom. I dealt with scum like that Rick many tis already."
"You? You are younger than girl, don't act this tough."
I laughed, as her answer demonstrated the real difference between my past reality and this world illusions.
"Listen, back at my kingdom I led armies when I was nine years old."
"Nine years old? Why? Wasn't there any generals capable of doing so?" she asked with disbelief.
