When she entered the guest room, Aurora was welcod by three pairs of beautiful eyes, staring at her with curiosity, anxiety, and expectation. The candidates for the new mbers brought by Blair were surprisingly all of the fairer gender. Henricks words when she brought Caila over to get her certification rang once again in her mind, causing a wry smile to appear on her face.
If more won popping up, its not that stinky old mans fault for thinking that I want to build a harem. She wanted nothing but to curse badly at Blair right now. Sure, after having a glimpse at them, she could tell that no one seed that bad as an addition to her rcenary groups, showing his outstanding vision when judging people, but still, the fact that it would further the misunderstanding made her frown slightly. Shaking her thoughts as not to interfere with her judgnt, she began inspecting the three girls carefully one by one in scrutiny as well as activating her system to reveal a more comprehensive information about them. Her gaze fell first on a purple-haired, petite girl fully dressed in a simple black suit who was sitting on the leftmost side of the group. She was quite charming, if not for the brooding look on her face. Being sized up by Aurora in such an open manner, the girl shriveled back and quickly lowered her gaze, like a mouse facing a cat. This girl seems a bit too shy to be a rcenary. As Aurora evaluated in her mind, an information window faded in in front of her eyes. --- Mia - 19 years old Level: Level 11 Race: Human Occupation: Assassin Occupational Skills: Stealth, Sneak Attack, Critical Strike, Lethality --- Aurora was quite amazed after reading her status. Although her level was slightly lower than she preferred, she had a quite amazing set of skills for soone of her level, as if she was born to be an assassin. Aside from the standard skills that an assassin usually has, two additional skills of her[Critical Strike] and [Lethality]made her more useful than she had thought. [Critical Strike] could compensate for her lack of physical strength due to her lithe body. If she didnt rember it wrongly, in the ga, this skill could provide the user with at least 25% extra damage when aiming at an enemys weak point. In reality, it might translate to the ability to find out an opponents weak points and attack them with high accuracy. On the other hand, [Lethality] could increase the chance of killing the target in one hit. How can soone so shy be perfectly suitable as an assassin? Aurora couldnt help but marvel at this strange contradiction. Moving on, her attention shifted to the one in the middle. This ones appearance was quite exotic, for lack of a better word to describe her. This dark-skinned female beastfolk, most probably a dogkin, looking at the pair of fluffy dog ears on the top of her side-shaved, braided silver hair. Her outfit was a little more revealing than most female rcenaries', with a furry-trimd vest on top of a crop top white shirt that accentuated her well-endowed assets while also displaying her saxy ripped abs and toned muscles. Aurora almost couldnt take her eyes off that enchanting sight for a while, causing her to slightly fluster and quickly retract her gaze with a hint of pink sprayed on her cheeks. Knowing that Aurora had ogled her body for a split second, not only that she didnt shy away from her gaze, but instead puffed her chest, showing off her well-trained sexy figure without a shred of sha as she threw a flirting smile at Aurora. Aurora almost couldnt keep her straight face and subconsciously wanted to turn her face away when she saw the beastfolk lick her lips seductively, but fortunately another information window suddenly showed up in her eyes in a tily manner, which attracted her attention, saving her from losing her dignity as the groups leader. She swore that she could hear the cheeky dogkin click her tongue when she read her status, like a child who failed in her prank. --- Raia - 22 years old Level: Level 15 Race: Beastfolk (Dogkin) Occupation: Guardian Knight Occupational Skills: Shield Arts Mastery, Greater Strength, Greater Defense, Martial Arts Mastery --- A Guardian Knight, huh? Its surprising, Aurora took another glance at Raia, but this ti her eyes focused on her arms, and indeed she saw a sturdy-looking stout shield attached to her left hand and a tal gauntlet adorning her right hand, showing at least the system had told her the truth. Everything goes in a fantasy world, huh? Aurora suddenly felt her worldview was flipped upside down looking at this scantily dressed Guardian Knight. Well whatever her taste has nothing to do with anyway What important to Aurora was that she now gained a powerful tank to boost her rcenary groups strength. Then, the last one She had never expected that this girl would show up this ti. This one would likely be the most useful among the group of candidates but could also be the most troubleso. Although she looked like an ordinary mage at first glance, her gaits and gestures pretty much showed otherwise. The plain mage robe she wore couldnt conceal her exceptional aura and graceful bearing; even without makeup, her flawless face and smooth skin werent sothing that a commoner could have. Her blonde hair was tied up behind her in a high ponytail, giving her a neat and clean look that was very pleasant in the eyes, and her blue eyes exuded confidence and pride. Looked at how she sipped her tea with a refined and graceful gait, her pinkies sticking up as she brought the cup to her rosy lips. If it didnt scream Noble!, what would it be? This girl was also soone Aurora very familiar with, it was quite surprising that Blair could rope her in. --- Janette Grey - 18 years old Level: Level 17 Race: Human Occupation: Dual-elent Magician Occupational Skills: Fire Elental Magic, Thunder Elental Magic, Quick Chanting, Magic Control --- Way too overpowered in the early stages! Aurora admired inwardly. Janette Grey, the future "Firebolt Witch," whose na was synonymous with nightmares for the army of the Republic of Harmonia in the future war. Wherever she went, the battlefield would be set ablaze in blazing fla and ground torn asunder by her thunder magic. Whenever her na was ntioned, the enemies would piss their pants involuntarily, running away like a beaten dog. Anyone who faced her in battle would be reduced to ash; they couldn't even resist her almost instantaneous spell release. Only after the Republic of Harmonia sacrificed several fifth rings and six rings high sorcerers could they barely defeat her. But that also wasnt enough to claim her life, as she disappeared after that ground-breaking battle with, what was believed to be her life intact. Although she never appeared again in the war after that, it provided the Republic with the opportunity to brazenly claim that they had successfully slain the witch. But even so, her na still brought unprecedented terror in the later stages of the war. That was how terrifying she could be in the future. Furthermore, she also had a natural charm and charisma that easily attracted peoples attention. Not only was she sweet and lovely in appearance, she was also one of the top geniuses in the magic tower, one of the youngest magicians in history to step into the fifth ring, and also the most beloved daughter of Marquis Grey, one of the five most influential families in Brigitt City. In a nutshell, she was soone you wished you could be but couldn'tan inspiration for the high-spirited younger generation. Seemingly couldnt bear Auroras penetrating gaze any longer, Janette frowned slightly and opened her mouth. Da Silverburg Aurora is enough, Miss Janette. You don't need to address so formally; after all, we're eting as fellow rcenaries." Aurora waved her hand, interrupting Janettes sentence. Janette frowned slightly after being interrupted, she had always been taught that it was pretty rude to interrupt soones conversation, but she didnt dwell too long before nodding her agreent and saying, I understand, but pardon, I cant forego the courtesy between nobles completely, so I may call you Lady Aurora, would that be acceptable? Listening to her stiff way of speaking, Aurora showed a wry smile before giving her a nod. I presu youve observed us enough, Lady Aurora? Janette questioned, "I personally don't like to waste ti, I hope you can give a confirmation letter anyti soon? Aurora smiled faintly when she got questioned by Janette, seemingly not offended by her brazenness at all. She had already expected that this prideful noble lady cum genius mage wouldnt be able to restrain her temper for too long, especially when soone who seed younger than her looked her down as if they were her superior. Even though she could understand her perspective, it didnt an that she could agree with such an attitude. It could beco disastrous, both for herself and the group, if she underestimates what it ans to be a rcenary. This was sothing that she painfully learned just recently. How interesting, Aurora said calmly, propping her cheeks. Can you be sure that your current strength will not be a burden to enter my rcenary group, Miss Janette?" Isnt it obvious? The corners of Janette's mouth rose slightly, and she replied with a look of disdain, "I'm still very confident in my own strength."
"Very good. Then let's test it." Aurora stood up and walked outside, and Janette followed at the sa ti.
