Jake had managed to fend the attackers back skillfully avoiding any and every of their strikes. That was when unexpectedly, the spear user decided to send a powerful stab towards Jake who was confident that his body will be able to handle it.
But Alex who had just finished his own fight, knew otherwise as he quickly dashed towards Jake to try help him out and in the process, he got injured with the spear coming out of his stomach towards the other end.
Alex who had a much stronger body than Jake, the spear did this much damage to him and Jake was initially stunned not knowing what to do as he could see Alex's body falling on the floor.
Jake was now more than furious. 'First Vynn, and now Alex. Even though we are not close, he still took the hit for .' Jake thought as he could see Alex kneeling while holding onto his bleeding stomach.
Jake furiously looked at spear user that was surprised that soone could jump in front of another person to take the hit. Jake quickly dashed towards the spear user who was now trying to pull the spear out of Alex but he was too slow as Jake was already in front of him.
Angrily, Jake stabbed the spear user in the stomach while activating his sword's active skill. {Lightning bolt} and imdiately, the spear user was feeling strikes of electricity coursing through his whole body frying him from the inside out.
And finally, the spear user dropped dead, scorched all over. Looking around, Jake couldn't see the remaining attacker. As for the rest, they were all dead on the floor.
Looking around, Jake saw Alex cross legged in a ditating position as he was trying to circulate his Qi around his body trying to heal up.
And slowly, Alex's injuries were already healing up slowly and closing while Jake was standing over him looking at him keenly then after a few minutes, Alex stood up all healed up.
"You saved my life." Jake said as he looked at Alex. "You risked your life to save mine. Why?"
"It is the least I could do after you saved my life countless tis." Alex said dusting himself from the dust.
Jake then sighed. "I have sothing to tell you then."
"For saving my life, I want to give you a position to join my guild but mind you, I might go against the big three soon and especially the academy soon. So I want you to think twice before accepting."
"I have already pledged my allegiance to you already and promised to follow you no matter what. That was for saving my life from the werewolf attack even though you didn't an to. And now, you saved from that arrow from before which is why…" Alex said as he got down on his knees.
"I am gladly honoured to be part of your guild and follow you no matter what. I was also planning on creating my own guild that could rival the big three because I didn't want to be overshadowed by my brother and now, you are giving a chance to join your own private Guild."
"This opportunity will help grow my strength and as well pave my own path so I will gladly accept whatever you tell . You are my boss now." Alex said.
"I thought the big three and their relatives will be proud and not bow to anyone, and here you are pledging allegiance to which is why, I will be glad to accept you." Jake said as he navigated to his system.
Then Jake selected contract and offered it to Alex who noticed a piece of paper materializing from thin air into his hands which totally seed like magic to him.
But already seeing Jake do so pretty strange things, Alex just signed the paper without even reading it. That was how much he trusted and wanted to follow Jake.
Then when Alex signed, a burning sensation was felt on his shoulder. Looking at it, Alex saw a mark of a wolf head on his shoulder.
"That there is going to be the official logo of our Guild. Every mber must have that symbol so all mbers will have to be contracted. That is to reduce imposters." Jake said.
"Once we have about 5 mbers in total, we will be having a weekly eting. Is that okay?"
"Sure why not." Alex replied smiling excitedly as he played around with the system screen in front of his face.
Then he wandered towards the mbers tab and he was disappointed as he could see that the guild only had two mbers including him. Seeing the disappointed look on Alex's face, Jake decided to speak up.
"I will grant you permission to offer a contract to those you really trust and want to protect into the guild. Make sure that you can trust them with your life." Jake said as he looked at Alex seriously.
"I don't want any betrayals in our Guild. This guild should be built on trust and strength alone."
"Yes I will do that. I will only invite those that I trust and I know who to start with." Alex smiled and then Jake looked at his watch.
"We need to leave now. It's almost ti for curfew and if we aren't back in the academy by 10pm, the academy will be pinged and our location will be traced back here and then we will have to explain how there are a lot of dead bodies here." Jake said and Alex nodded as they both sprinted and ran back to the academy with full speed.
They managed to get to the academy just in ti and Alex went through the gate while Jake went back to his dorm the sa way he went out.
Then he managed to sneak back into his room silently and de-equipped his robe and all his weapons while going back to bed.
'Today was quite tiring, I never expected to invite Alex into our Guild but I did. Now if Alex didn't send that letter, then who did?' Jake thought as he closed his eyes to sleep.

'That mystery would have to be solved another ti. Right now, I have a lot on my plate.' Jake thought as he finally fell asleep.
