Just like Ava, everyone’s reaction to the unexpected appearance of such a powerful person was full of shock…
And Hans, who had only heard about this person but didn’t know much about her, tried to find out what he wanted to know by analyzing her with his mystic insight.
There were three things to know about her… first of all, she was the owner of an epic class.
More precisely, she was the owner of the epic class: {perfection mage}
Judging by the information provided by his skill, this class seed to be a magic-oriented class with skills focused on the pursuit of perfection, the perfection of everything, ranging from the spell’s casting ti, the spell’s size, or even the spell’s mana composition.
As its owner, Freya Langdon was soone also obsessed with perfection… this correlated with the second piece of information…
Her personality is that of a perfectionist and a law-abiding citizen, she also seed to care a lot about cleanness and germs, probably the reason why she went around wearing those white gloves.
And third, she was quite pissed at the mont, her face did not show it, but the emotions she was feeling were:
Anger, humiliation, Greed.
Also, to tell the truth, there was a fourth thing worth noting about her, even if Hans did not deem it important…
She was really beautiful.
She was a brunette, and her black eyes looked empty of any thoughts.
She was dressed in a suit similar to a man’s working attire, but it fit her image.
Her facial features were smooth, and her skin pale, but most importantly, her face seed to be free of any emotions, she gave off a strange feeling as if she belonged to a different world compared to everyone else inside that room.
The tense atmosphere in the room was cut as the New York association leader began talking:
"Greetings… since we’ve already gathered here, we might as well take it directly into the conference room, why don’t you all follow ? It is ti to do our work for this nation, and we must take this very seriously…
After all… we will discuss a lot of hot topics today…"
The New York branch leader, even if for just a mont, seed to have crossed gaze with Hans.
When he was done talking, he walked towards the eting room, and walking at the sa pace, behind him followed all the other branch leaders.
Amongst them were also Hans and Ava, who were talking to each other about what they could do now.
"So she’s here for you say?"
Hans asked.
"That seems to be the case, otherwise, I don’t see any reason as to why she would ever co all the way here from England."
"So what now? Change of plans?"
"… no… we must wait for them to reveal what they want before making any harsh movents.
Even if in theory I should be classified in the sa rank as Freya, with her being a mage, she basically holds the sa level of authority and power as an SSS rank… any of her moves are also backed by her guild, so we must not make an enemy out of her, she might even find out about what happened with Lars Jensen if she really puts her mind to it…"
’Lars Jensen? Oh right! So in the end… his disciple abandoned him, his association crumbled, and no one managed to find the cause of his death… what a sad story, I’m about to shed a tear.’
Hans thought jokingly, knowing that the man he was taking pity on was nothing but a piece of living trash.
"And once we’ve found out what they want?"
Hans asked…
"Well… if I have the ability to do it, I will try to tell you if I’ve figured out a plan, but if I tell you I don’t know then you’re free to act as you want, just… please think about the consequences of what you say."
"Alright then"
’If I were to fight against that tier eight mage right now… I wonder how much she would last’
The eting began as soon as everyone took their seats, talking first was of course the New York branch leader.
For the following six hours, a lot of boring talk was done, and Hans, who had almost fallen asleep already, heard his na coming out of the leading mouth.
"…fellows, we have almost reached the end of today’s eting, maybe because of the wonderful work you’ve all done this year, or maybe because the world is gradually healing, but whatever reason it is, I hope it will continue like this, now, onto the next subject…
We have two things to talk about, first of all, the matter regarding a certain person’s contract…"
As he said those words, his eyes, just like those of all the other people in the room, shifted towards the young man, who remained unfazed, still half asleep because of how boring the eting had been up till that mont.
"… and we also have to choose an appropriate team that can defend our students during the competition in a few months.
First of all, I would like to point out that the competition will be held during spring, the precise date hasn’t been set yet, but we anticipate it might be around the last week of April.
The event will last a couple of days, and the things we have to be careful about aren’t only outsider attacks… but unfortunately also possible attacks from other Academies’ teachers.
As you all probably know, all of the Academies that are still standing will have to attend the event, and soone might want to pull so strings in order to eliminate our talented youngsters, that would deal a huge blow to our country, especially after we invested so much into them."
’Indeed…
Hans thought.
’… those kids are different, the talent they have shown is otherworldly, apparently, apart from Aiden, who obtained special access to the Academy because of , all the other kids did not receive any favoritism in the selection, aning that their families and background don’t matter inside there… they are all geniuses, even if so may be a little more than others.
Strangely enough, Aiden seems to barely be able to keep up with them, even if he is behind when it cos to common knowledge and class rarity…
But, taking my eyes off of Aiden for a second, I can tell that almost every single one of those people will beco an S-rank in just a few years, and so will even surpass that level…
Just in my magic class, I think seven or eight of them should be able to reach the eighth circle by the ti they enter their thirties, and about four, maybe five, should be able to enter the ninth circle…
If we are talking about that kid… Colton… He might even make it to the tenth circle.
Such a sha that he only has a rare class… The path of a true mage would’ve suited him the best, seeing the speed at which he advances…
If people like them were to die, it wouldn’t only be a tragedy for this country, but also a loss for the whole world.
That must not happen, and I will make sure of it’
"… now, you might have noticed already, but I have invited a special guest for today’s assembly"
While saying those words, the man was already glancing in the direction of the beautiful female mage sitting just beside him.
"I won’t keep the suspense for long, and I will leave her to do it since she might just be the solution to both of the already pointed-out problems…
Please, Freya, explain your reason for coming here today.
The woman got up from her seat before speaking and exchanged glances with Hans.
’Although I didn’t want to, I must admit it… that abnormal kid has talent… maybe even surpassing her talent.
I don’t like people like him who do chaotic things without thinking of the consequences and don’t have a certain background, but I cannot let him slip from the palm of my hand, today I am here solely for this… Hans Richter… I will catch you and take you back with ’
Those were the thoughts behind the woman’s emotionless face.
"Good evening, I am here today to help you all achieve what you’re aiming to achieve.
I have an interesting proposal, would you mind hearing it?"
Everyone had a few doubts, but they all nodded, giving the woman a mont to speak.
"I will protect the kids when they have to co to Europe, and I will also accept a collaboration with any of the groups you were planning on letting them leave with, I will also help you all in binding the young talented mage we have today here with us to Arica, but, there’s a price…
what I want is…
for him to enter my guild.
