"So, to keep my freedom and current lifestyle, I will have to go under special training every weekend and after that, join the missions whenever I will be inford. At the sa ti, I will have to keep my identity as a mber of Elite Forces as a secret from everyone. My public identity will be that of a normal mber.
Briefly, this was the compromise on your side?" Azzy calmly asked the buffed old man packed in a suit after hearing everything.
Ramiel nodded in response.
Gideon stayed silent on the side. Even he felt it was generosity from WAMO's side. But, at the sa ti, it ans that Azzy will not be able to go on Arcana trips with the school and he will not able to go out with friends either.
On the other hand, Azzy was consulting the Reaper to check the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. He was actually tempted to join.
According to Ramiel's explanation, WAMO's Elite Forces only do joint missions with the special forces of each nation.
And there won't be any issue if he also joins the Special Forces of the country. Of course, that would an, he will have to take citizenship of Northern Qudour later when he turns 18 and is still in the Forces.
The Reaper answered, "It would be doable if the conditions should be altered a little bit. Listen carefully…"
As Azzy listened to the Reaper's advice, his eyes lit up in satisfaction. It was the best thing he can have. But, will this old man agree?
Azzy didn't know but the Reaper said he can still join the Special Forces of the nation even if he rejects Ramiel's offer now. After all, the scientist who gave him a billion credit gloves will want to join her workplace.
He imdiately spoke to Ramiel, "I have no problems with signing the confidential agreent or joining the missions but there's nothing that I'm getting in return for serving the organization and I don't an money."
Even if it was for a split second, Gideon saw a frown on his ancestor. He also doesn't know what Azzy was expecting.
In everyone's eyes, even just joining the world's biggest organization as a normal mber is sothing that's celebrating. But, here is his best friend who was telling that even such a compromise on Ramiel's part when joining in their Elite Force isn't enough.
As for Ramiel, at first, he was indeed displeased by Azzy's reply but then, he understood sothing from his words. It is that Azzy was interested to join. And that is enough for this peak stage legendary expert to calmly listen to Azzy's demands. After all, he experienced this kind of situation many tis.
"So, here's my condition. One, I want WAMO to give an offer to my team mbers to join the Elite Forces too so that they have the protection. If not, at least, a chance to prove themselves. They didn't get such a chance in the tournant because of ."
"So, it was just this…" Ramiel bursts out into laughter as soon as he heard Azzy's condition. He expected sothing more serious like a treasure as a signing bonus or sothing. In the past, he encountered many geniuses who did ask for such things.
"Okay done. If your friends wanted to join our Elite forces, then, I will personally test their skills. If they prove themselves, I promise that they will receive the sa conditions."
"Thank you." Azzy then, put his second condition, "Instead of weekends, I want to attend training for one week straight in a month."
"Done." By now, Ramiel realized that the person standing before him was not only a child even in his mind but also seem to have a little bit of pure/naïve heart contrary to his dark powers. "Anything else?"
Azzy shook his head.
"That's it?" Ramiel asked him for confirmation.
"That's it." Azzy nodded.
"Welco to World Arcana Masters Organization, Mr. Azrael." Ramiel put forth his hand with a big smile. He didn't expect that it would go this easily.
"Pleasure to be working with you," Azzy shook the hand with an indifferent expression, feeling happy inside.
"Co, let's go down and et your friends."
Soon, they returned to the banquet hall together.
Azzy saw the situation was quite the sa as before, except that Claire appeared down while standing all by herself.
Azzy felt bad for her. He doesn't know why people are interested in Mia and Snivy but not Claire. Or maybe, she rejected the offers because she will be joining Sun Academy? He wondered.
"Oh, you returned, Vice President Crescent. It looked like you have succeeded in poaching the kids." A comnt escaped from Gedalya who was the first to spot them.
Everyone imdiately turned their heads only to look at a big smile on Ramiel's face with his hands on the shoulders of two boys. "Well, let's just say I'm sincere. Oh, and et my seventh disciple, Gideon, and our new mber, Azrael."
The entire hall went into silence as he proudly announced Gideon as disciple and Azzy as the mber of WAMO, implying that they should forget their sketches on both of them.
Their eyes darted left and right, looking at Gideon and Azzy before everyone realized. The legendary realm experts realized how foolish they were to wait and catch the fish only to get it away before they even tried to throw bait.
anwhile, Ramiel was barely managing to suppress his excitent. Right now, he just wants to scream out loud that he managed to catch a platinum Arowana. He was also thankful to the Royal Ancestor for invading the academy.
If it wasn't for that incident, he was sure that Barton wouldn't have agreed to let Azzy go near Ramiel. In exchange for the help, Ramiel only asked for a chance to recruit him.
Even Barton didn't expect Ramiel would use such a strategy.
Upon hearing it, Gedalya said in a mocking tone. "I underestimated you. Vice President Crescent once again reminded everyone that WAMO is not light but always grey."
It was such a simple comnt but has a deep aning behind it. An upright organization used devious ans to recruit a 13-year-old kid. In everyone's eyes, Gideon was just a tool Ramiel used to lure Azzy.
And their thoughts were also not baseless. First, Ramiel took Gideon with him, then, Azzy went alone, and now, they ca together. It was public knowledge that Gideon and Azzy are best friends.
None of them knew that he only took in Gideon as a disciple because of the fear of Demi-God.
"Congratulations, Gideon, Azrael." Sahara was the first to congratulate both of them as their future is now set.
The guests weren't the only ones that were shocked by Ramiel's move. The one who was most affected was Claire.
Never in the world did she expect Azzy to make such a choice when he said he will not continue higher education after graduating. He was supposed to go training in the wild zones.
On one side, it is good news. However, on the flip side, it wasn't good for her either.
It's because she thought Azzy would leave the school, after the examination, or maybe, the very next day. It left her mind in a ss. She didn't even know what she was supposed to do. To date, she was suffering whether she should pursue Azzy or just forget her feelings and move on.
A lot of tis, she thought of the latter option but for so reason, she wasn't able to. It was as if her soul itself is attracted towards his presence, although her Arcana Spirit seems to hate it. And now, there was a sudden twist before her…
Just as she was sorting out her thoughts, Ramiel called out the nas in a loud tone, ignoring the presence of the esteed guests. "Mia Leveret, Claire Lefeuvre, and Snivy…"
The three of their faces beca stiff because of the sudden call but they responded, "Yes."
"Like Azrael, I'm willing to recruit you into our organization along with providing freedom of continuing your normal lives. However, all of you have yet to give your all and I don't want anyone else to complain about it later. Those who are interested to accept the offer, feel free to follow to the training grounds."
"Gideon, that includes you too…" He added as an afterthought.
Ramiel looked at Barton and asked for permission, to which the latter accepted in high spirits.
"Joining WAMO without compromising on normal lives? That ans I get to stay with Azzy now, and even after graduation?" Claire felt as if a sudden door to an endless road opened before her.
"Ramiel Crescent, you aren't giving any face to us." The legendary realm expert of Hurricane erupted.
