( Inside Neatwits cabin )
Max felt a little awkward after Neatwit kept staring at his face without saying a word for the first two minutes after he entered his office.
Max was patient for a while, but he then alternated his gaze between Neatwit and Alia who was standing in the corner behind Neatwit, pleading with his eyes to break this deadlock.
Eventually, Alia coughed twice to remind Neatwit that he had to speak eventually as the guildmaster of the True Elites sighed deeply.
The persona of Max Rajput had a scar on his face and pupils that were a slightly different shade of red than the ones that Ravan had.
Naturally these were achieved by artificial make-up, but done in a way that was indiscernible to the naked eye.
" You look just like your brother. Handso and Calm, your overall aura has matured too " Neatwit comnted as he recalled the good old tis spent with Rudra.
Now that Max had begun shedding his childish look and was transitioning into having the bearing of a man, Neatwit could not help but link him to his blood brother.
While the facial features of the two brothers were slightly distinct, their expressions and bearing were similar, probably picked up from their parents as a child.
Max touched his chin and winked at Alia, but the latter just glared at him in anger.
Only Max was privy to the information that Alia had a huge crush on Rudra and found him handso, which was why he winked at her now, but she did not seem to find the gesture amusing at all.
Gulping, Max looked away, not wanting to face the wrath of an annoyed woman.
" You should have so idea why I called you here… " Neatwit said as he leaned towards Max, resting both his hands on the wooden table between them.
" I know…. " Max said as he t Neatwits eyes.
" So are you up to the task? " Neatwit asked directly, not beating around the bush.
" I can take him on " Max replied confidently as Neatwit nodded his head and leaned back with a smile.
" You know Max, divh, Rhino and the others did not believe when I suggested you are just tier4 at best, because of your accomplishnt in killing a tier6 god.
But deep down I knew that if soone could do it, it's you " Neatwit said as he gave Max a rare complint.
" Is it because I'm my brother's brother? " Max asked self-deprecatingly as he half thought that Neatwit believed in his potential just because he asured him with the sa stick as his brother.
" No- it's because you are the only student apart from Bo that Sir Jhonny ever took-in.
Bo right now is a talented assassin, probably the only other mortal I know that has killed a god.
Of Course he's at tier5, so it's not as impressive as you, but it's still sothing other mortals can't hope to achieve" Neatwit said as Max was surprised by his assessnt.
As a child, it was Sir Jhonny who had helped build his fighting fundantals and the only move that he carried from Oga to Sigma was the ' Ball Crushing ' attack that Sir Jhonny had taught him as a kid.
In private, Sir Jhonny had often said that if there was anyone who had the potential to rival or surpass Rudra soday it was Max, but apart from the dead Rudra and Karna, only Neatwit was present when this conversation happened.
" Your opponent is Eden, a boy who has gotten your brother's legacy from Oga. He is a Knight class warrior just like your brother and has a very rounded overall developnt.
He has managed to carry two items with him out of Oga, which are the sun-gods bracelet that your brother used often and a high quality sword that I don't recognise.
He has the teleportation move [ Blink ] in his arsenal just like your brother did, which makes him capable of launching sudden sneak attacks and creating openings otherwise impossible.
I don't know his class specific moves, it was sothing even my inspection spell failed to pick- up on but that only ans it's at least at the legendary grade or above.
He has 3 such moves, giving him 3 Trump cards in his arsenal.
If I was confident that soone from the guild could beat him, I would not have sent Alia to specially summon you.
But as much as I want to discredit the boy, I do have to give him credit that he might be unstoppable within tier4, " Neatwit said as he revealed details about Eden based on his own eting with the boy.
Max frowned a little, when he had faced the cocky brat inside the casino, he did not have the chance to fight a proper battle, but if the other party had all the hidden cards that Neatwit suggested he had, then it would make him a truly fearso opponent.
" If he is so good, why did you reject his bid to join the guild? " Max asked curiously as this was one question that he genuinely wanted to know.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Eden was talented, there was no doubt about it and his entry into any faction was more than welco because he had the potential to be nurtured into a tier6 god.
But this made his rejection into the True Elites guild all the more bizarre.
" Of Course I wanted him to join Max, you have no idea how much I wanted him in the organisation when I heard about him and saw his swordsmanship that was just like your brother's in the early days.
I wanted to make him an instructor on a high salary, I wanted the entire guild to learn his path, especially the knight class warriors who fought with a balanced stat approach.
But everything changed when I actually t him.
The boy did not co to et with the ntality of providing value to the guild, he ca to et with the belief that the True Elites guild had been created to serve his interests.
He thought that it was a given that we employ him because he was Rudra's legacy holder and worship him as the guild's most cherished mber regardless of his contributions.
In this guild, the only individual worthy of the guild's worship is your dead brother and that is because he made it into the powerhouse that it is today single-handedly and apart from him there is NOBODY that this guild serves.
If anybody, including you, walks into this guild demanding it serves them without contributing to the organisation first, then as the guildmaster I must make a point of letting them know that the True Elites have no place for individuals like them ". Neatwit said with authority as Max respected him for his decision.
If Neatwit had allowed Eden to join the guild with such a ntality he would have disrupted the family ntality of the guild and behaved in a manner that was sure to go against the guild's motto of ' One For All and All For One '.
The True Elites had no place for such people that was for sure.
" You made the right call " Max said as he backed Neatwits decision and ntally accepted his role as Earth's champion in the upcoming fight.
