Eight months swiftly passed since the day they reported completing the Rock Drake Eradication Quest and registered Aemorus as Shirley's tad monster.
It had been a tranquil period, marked by a significant improvent in Valenzia's stability.
This was due to Shye, Shirley, Wendy, and Elysia consistently completing their mandatory missions.
To Shirley's surprise, Elysia consistently requested to be paired with Wendy whenever pairings were needed, and Wendy readily agreed without any objections.
Shirley initially worried about Wendy, especially since the latter often let her thoughts wander.
Such unfocused behavior would typically earn harsh reprimands from the strict Elysia.
Thus, when Shirley discovered that Wendy was not subjected to such treatnt and was instead being spoiled by the forr titled adventurer, she was stunned.
Still, if Wendy was fine with the arrangent, then Shirley had no reason to object.
After all, she much preferred being with her beloved Shye rather than accompanying Elysia on a mission.
Additionally, Zeth and Aemorus would be together and would be delighted with such an arrangent.
anwhile, Seira and the others continued working hard, completing quest after quest which allowed them to rise through the Adamantite Rankings.
The sheer number and difficulties of the quests they completed forced the WAA to finally look their way.
Luna was offered the position of regional champion, while the midget's talents finally flourished, allowing her to beco a titled adventurer, just like Harry and David.
The rival mages were now known as Rocksteady and Thunderclap.
On the other hand, Seira insisted on being known as Black Dawn's Ultimate Underling.
It was a long and sowhat absurd title, but given her strong determination to adopt it, the WAA had no choice but to agree.
After all, a title is a personal choice.
Among the titled adventurers, Piercing Zephyr worked exceptionally hard, eventually earning the title of archer hero candidate.
Unfortunately, it seed he wasn't destined to be a hero, as Kiin Wujin's talents were also recognized by the WAA, leading to two hero candidates.
With Kiin completing his final special mission a few days ahead of Piercing Zephyr, Kiin was nad Valenzia's archer hero, though his official inauguration wouldn't take place until next month.
Piercing Zephyr accepted the loss gracefully, returning to his post as a titled adventurer without complaint.
Lastly, Ian had been officially inaugurated as Valenzia's scout hero two months prior, although he hadn't been assigned a single mandatory quest yet, as the paperwork for his official registration as a regional hero was still being processed.
It was both a glorious and bittersweet mont for the Raven's Blade Adventurer Guild, having lost all their talented youngsters.
However, they were well compensated by the WAA for nurturing such fine adventurers.
Not only were they granted first priority for the Adventurer Academy Champion Rosters over the next ten years, but they were also provided with high-grade training tonics, peak-grade equipnt, skill books, and blessing scrolls as rewards.
With these resources and their newfound fa among aspiring adventurers, the guild was set to surpass the Divine Judgnt Adventurer Guild—who had dominated the region for the past century—in just a few years.
Inevitably, with their top adventurers extrely busy completing tasks for the WAA, the Flashy Ravens Rising Division had declined, stabilizing their position around seventh to fifth in the guild rankings.
Strangely, their mbers didn't lose their drive.
In fact, they looked more motivated than ever, though they had hints of grim looks and urgency on their faces.
The reason for this was that Shye had already attempted to recruit everyone.
While he easily persuaded his friends, including Luna, thanks to Wendy's influence, it was a different story with his division mbers.
Out of more than 480 mbers, only three hundred willingly accepted, while the rest who declined had their mories tampered with by the old man's Soul Researchers.
It was a cruel move on Shye's part, but he had nurtured these people and secured their loyalty for exactly this purpose.
Although he knew it was wrong to impose such heavy fates on others, he had no choice.
He was just one man, and he needed help—help from those who were unwaveringly loyal to him and only him.
Nonetheless, he was quite satisfied with the results, as even most of those who declined had done so only because of their families' difficult circumstances and allegiances.
A three-hundred-strong elite army could already turn the tide of battle if used correctly.
Additionally, he, Shirley, Wendy, Ian, and Kiin had all obtained Valenzia's hero crests, significantly boosting their potential and strength.
Things turned out pretty much as he had planned.
Sanada had already given him a tiline for the organization's plans, so he and his personal army were only a few steps away from being ready to exit society. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
The mbers of his personal army had even already received their Hadean Varsa crests.
Although the crest didn't enhance their attributes and potential as much as the hero crests, it still provided a significant boost, though it ca at the cost of a permanent reduction in their lifespans by three years.
Nonetheless, it should aid them in the battle against Dweezel.
With the organization's assistance in abducting the important family mbers of those who joined him, the mbers could ensure their loved ones' safety, as they would be temporarily imprisoned at the Hadean Varsa Headquarters for their own safety.
After all, the other terrorist organizations—the truly evil ones—would undoubtedly exploit the war to cause chaos in other cities.
As for Shye, his next move would be to et with his little sister and inform her of the situation.
Depending on her current strength, which Shye would assess upon arriving at the Balkrow Branch, she would either be temporarily imprisoned or allowed to join the battle.
Once he secured Maia, he and his n could vanish at any mont, especially since Dweezel's forces were becoming more proactive.
Shye feared that if he delayed any longer, everything would be ruined.
anwhile, at the entrance of a particular Expert Adventurer Zone, a stunning young woman with ashen hair felt her mana communicator vibrate, signaling that she had received a ssage.
After reading its contents, she gasped with delight and turned to the blonde, handso young man beside her.
"Big brother is visiting the branch and will arrive in two days!"
