===
Adriana already had 13 subordinates with Level 15~35, indeed, they are elites, but they are quite common to say the least.
Not to ntion that they never went through proper training, they only know how to fight and what gives them a lot of advantage would be their combat experiences.
But Adriana has the thought of creating a huge group of Elites initially, where she will later turn it into a real powerful army as hell!
When the first Level 150 rises among them, that's when Adriana will start her main plans, which of course are still being formulated.
She still needs to summon Luria, Ikiria and Lily, they will give her a greater range of information and decisions, as this will also be their future, Adriana cannot decide everything thinking it is the best.
So the 17 recruits, Adriana didn't care much about their Level, the important thing will be the age, how smart the person is, along with their talent.
Adriana wants won under 35, if they are as strong as ll, Adriana can make exceptions, but the rest can be ignored.
Already her intelligence, Adriana will do several simple tests, to understand their knowledge base, reaction and how well they adapt to combat.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, will be the talent!
Adriana will only need to touch and inspect her using her Mana, it will be enough to get an idea of how good her adaptation to Mana is and how much she would progress just relying on her talent.
But of course, Adriana wants to recruit 12 won for combat, while she will recruit 5 for the support team.
She can do all this work herself, just give her a few weeks, but, she cannot beco the Doctor, Cook, Blacksmith and other services, she is the leader and must keep up appearances.
So at the beginning, Adriana went to a forge, like the Village of the Hunters, it is obvious that she has many blacksmith shops for the repair and manufacture of new weapons and armor.
Adriana arrived at the scene and went after a very tall and well-built woman.
"Ophelia, I believe?" - Asked Adriana calmly.
Ophelia held a hamr and looked at her, snorted and said. - "What you want?"
"I want to recruit her into my rcenary group!" - Adriana said bluntly.
"I'm not interested, find another one!" - Said Ophelia snorting disdainfully and going back to hamring the iron.
"Sorry, I'm a persistent woman and I really want you!" - Adriana said smiling.
Clang!
A loud clang sounded and Ophelia dropped the hamr, then lunged at Adriana with a fierce glare.
"Get out of here you shitty bitch, or I'll break every bone in your body!" - She said fiercely.
"Have you heard of a certain woman who will teach her subordinates the secrets of Mana and Aura?" - Adriana asked calmly, which finally made Ophelia stop all her aggression, but soon she snorted.
"Even so, I don't fight!" - Ophelia said fiercely.
"I don't want you to fight, I know you have a perfect body for that, but I understand that those beautiful muscles are made for hamring iron not skulls!" - Adriana said calmly.
"Then if you understand, stop disturbing !" - Said Ophelia snorting.
"It would be a sha, soone as talented as you are, to waste your talents being an ordinary blacksmith, without the opportunity to beco a Magic Smith!" - Adriana said, nodding her head sadly.
Ophelia thought this was absurd and didn't listen.
"Okay, enough kidding, looks like you have to be direct! Serve
as the Blacksmith and Armor of my rcenary Group, in return I will teach you how to use Mana and in the future Aura, as well as how to use them to create Magic Items!" - Adriana said calmly.
Ophelia crossed her arms, then said. - "If you were a Dwarf, I would believe it, but you are not!"
Adriana chuckled, before taking off her shirt and getting her torso bare, showing off her beautiful muscles, Ophelia looked at this and it didn't bother her, she is also showing off her large breasts which are much bigger than Adriana's.
So Adriana said. - "If I forge a Magic Sword here and now, will you follow ?"
"If you create a Magic Sword, I beco your whore!" - Said Ophelia snorting in disdain.
"I just want your loyalty and not your body, but I admit it's tempting!" - Adriana said laughing and winking at her.
About 2 hours later, Ophelia had her jaw dropped, while a sword sat on the anvil, emitting a mystical glow, which slowly faded away.
"It's still a little warm, but I don't think the heat will affect you." - Adriana said calmly and Ophelia grabbed the sword.
She carefully analyzed the edge of the blade, felt its perfect weight, she was shocked that this was possible, she knows that Pureblood Dwarves have their secret techniques, but she had never heard of humans having sothing like this.
In fact she has heard of Human and Elf Mages capable of sothing like this, but it is through Magic Enchantnts on already created equipnt, but this...
she personally saw the sword being forged and when the last hamr blow was given, the result was a glow intense and even though she wasn't an Aura Mage or Warrior, Ophelia felt the Mana lightly and understood that the sword was more than it appeared.
And now, that sharp edge, the resistance, everything indicated to him that this sword that was created in 2 hours, is superior by several degrees to her greatest creation!
"Are you going to teach
this?" Ophelia asked in shock, a slight tremor in her voice.
"Yes, but it will cost you a lot!" - Adriana said calmly.
" what?" - Ophelia asked, even excited, she is still thinking very carefully.
"I will be teaching you very advanced techniques of practicing Mana and Aura, only then will you be able to create Magic Items like the one I just created and I can guarantee you, what I will be teaching you is sothing that even Royal Families would be willing to pay all their damned money for.
national treasure to have, even selling half of your princesses for a share of what I will be teaching you would not be an exaggeration." - Adriana said calmly and Ophelia was shocked.
"Understand that what you just saw is not all I have to show you, had the materials used been better and with more Mana support I could have created a blade so sharp that splitting this anvil in half without injecting any Mana would have been sothing simple!" - Adriana said full of confidence and finally decided to go to the main point.
"I will make a magical contract with you, forbidding you to teach what you learn from
to others, unless I allow it, initially you will have to work for 10 years, after these 10 years, you will be able to choose whether you will continue with
or follow your path, but the magical contract will remain in effect, preventing you from teaching it to others or well we can say that your death won't be any quicker!" - Adriana said smiling slightly.
Ophelia frowned and asked. - "Will you teach
everything?"
"Anything you can learn, but then it's up to you!" - Adriana said, shrugging.
"OK! I agree!" - Ophelia said seriously, Adriana smiled and inford her where she should go tomorrow.
...
After succeeding with Ophelia, Adriana went to a house near the city gate, where a family of 3 live there, a mother and her 2 daughters.
Knock* Knock*
With the knock on the door, soon quick footsteps ca and the door opened, a small, sweaty woman appeared, panting and frowning.
"Who are you?" - She asked confused.
"Is this the Hawkeye Sisters hunt?" - Asked Adriana.
"Yes! You're?" - The girl narrowed her eyes.
"My na is Adriana, leader of the Scarlet Mist rcenaries, I ca to propose a deal!" - Adriana said smiling.
The girl seed unwilling, but at that mont an older woman appeared in the doorway. - "Go call your sister!"
"Adriana of the Scarlet Mist, hard not to hear about you, so you took an interest in my girls?" - Asked Hyelen calmly.
"Yes, I've heard quite a bit about how sharp the Hawkeye Sisters' eyes are, but now, looking at you, I understand who the Hawk is!" - Adriana said smiling, seeing that Hyelen is at Level 99, which must be the limit without the right thod of practicing Mana.
"You have good eyes, that I admit, but what are your ambitions?" - Hyelen asked without hesitation.
Adriana looked at her, smiling she said. - "Initially I want to form a group of 30 Elites, while in 1 or 2 years, when they have been trained by
and all of them are equal to Masters, I will start creating a powerful army, about 200!"
"And then?" - Asked Hyelen calmly.
"Then I will stop hiding, show that I am one of the strongest won in this world, so I will create a city that will be the ho of all rcenaries, I do not want to create a Kingdom, nor beco a noblewoman who governs a Province, I will do sothing simple, but it will be so grand that Queens and Princesses will have to put their heads down if they want sothing from us!" - Adriana said smiling.
Hyelen looked at her, analyzing the young woman in front of her, feeling that she is special and her words full of confidence.
"At 30, what will they beco?" Hyelen asked.
"If I succeed in my plans, the city I will create will beco a ho and eting center for all rcenaries on the continent, naturally I will need to create several other rcenary Groups to et many needs, as such I will have to choose capable leaders and champions for the services!" - Adriana said smiling slightly.
Hyelen scratched her chin thoughtfully, a very ambitious and strange dream, but if it works, no nation will dare to move lightly.
Not to ntion that Adriana's claim to be hiding, that's sothing that intrigued her a lot.
"How can I be sure you are everything you say you are?" Hyelen asked.
Adriana scratched her chin, before reaching out her hand and soon her Astral Energy showed itself, modeling a small scenario of a war, it doesn't have many details, but it was enough for Hyelen to be shocked, not understanding it.
She's seen magic and witchcraft before, but nothing compares to this!
"At the mont I am injured, but I am recovering very quickly, in 1 or 2 years I will have all my strength and I can assure you, not even the Guardians of all nations put together would not be able to even lay a finger on , that I an all of them together!" - Adriana said laughing full of confidence.
Hyelen cald down quickly. - 'Calm down Hye, you got old and sentintal?!' - Hyelen forced herself to calm down, which proved to be difficult.
'If I were a few years younger' - She thought a little sadly, but she thought of her daughters.
"I can agree to them serving you"
"I want you too!" - Adriana said without hesitation.
"What?!" - Hyelen was surprised.
"You won't be part of the main force, but you are very experienced and skilled, your daughters should have a lot to learn from you before they overco you, as well as learning to control Mana should help you recover parts of your lost strength and even increase your lifespan, but I wish for you to beco the shooting instructor for my troops." - Adriana said calmly.
"So you want our whole family well, we accept it!" - Said Hyelen, unable to hold back her laughter.
"GIRLS!" - She scread then Jyelen and Jaylen, twin sisters arrived, which are covered in sweat.
Adriana looked at them, Jyelen is on Level 33 and Jaylen is on Level 34.
"Say hello to our lady, Adriana!" - Hyelen said to her daughters, who looked at each other in surprise, but then bowed to Adriana.
So Adriana got 1 special and 2 main recruits for the Bronze Category, which she believes is temporary.
After recruiting the Len Family, Adriana went to a doctor's office and
"You useless clumsy!" - A scream ca from inside, Adriana entered and saw an elderly woman throwing things at a 15-16 year old girl.
She has brown hair, about 1.50 tall, brown eyes, glasses and her hair is very disheveled.
She also has a pitiful expression, she looks like she might cry at any mont.
"Oh hello, what do you need?" - Asked the old doctor smiling gently, at the sa ti that she was analyzing her.
Adriana isn't hurt, it ans it's for soone she needs or she ca on business, whatever Adriana seems to have money and that's what matters!
"Hello, my na is Adriana and I ca looking for a Doctor, I want to recruit her to treat my companions in the future." - Adriana said calmly.
The old doctor frowned, soon having an idea. - "I see, you ca looking for one of my students for your rcenary Group, I presu?"
"Exactly!" - Adriana said without hesitation.
"But it's a sha, the best ones I had went to big cities or set up their own clinics and I find it difficult for them to accept your recruitnt, but I think I have the perfect girl for you!" - Said the old doctor who went to the girl who had just insulted her.
"Adriana, this is Ely, a very smart student, she is only 16 years old, but she has already morized all the books I have, the problem is that this girl is very clumsy, but that can be fixed with ti, what do you think? " - Asked the old doctor smiling.
Ely was shocked hearing that, looking at Adriana and blushing slightly, becoming very shy, she wanted to say sothing, but she stopped herself.

"I see, I will take it, how much will it cost?" - Asked Adriana calmly.
"200 Gold, naturally it's so cheap as I'm thinking of the damage it will incur as it helps the girl beco less clumsy!" - Said the old doctor smiling.
Adriana glanced at Ely, she obviously seems like the type of girl to be abused, but since that's what she has, she doesn't have to waste any more ti, not to ntion she made quite a bit of money selling the Demonic Cores.
Naturally she didn't just hunt the mutants, but the normal ones too and has a few thousand in her pocket.
"Okay, tell her to pack her things, I'll take her, do you have a problem with that?" - Asked Adriana.
Ely would say sothing but received an intense look from the old doctor, so shyly she said. - "N-no..."
Okay, here's the money!" - Adriana said taking coins from her purse.
The old doctor smiled happily and accepted the money without hesitation.
"You must return it to
and get your money back" - Said Ely shortly after leaving with Adriana.
"Oh why?" - Asked Adriana curious.
"I suck! I can't use what I've learned, I'm too clumsy and clumsy, I'll only cause you trouble!" - Ely said shaking.
Adriana looked at her and said. - "Don't worry Ely, you left your studies now, so I just need to teach you little by little, trust
and in a few years you will be one of the best doctors in the world, if not the best!"
Ely was surprised by this, not understanding where this confidence cos from.
"Understand Ely, you will follow the strongest woman in this world, naturally you must target the peak of your area, otherwise you will be abandoned, as it was now!" - Adriana said smiling relaxed.
Ely followed her in surprise, not understanding what she was saying, but Adriana didn't bother and just took her to Ajacky, leaving her and ll to take care of the young woman and make her comfortable.
The hours that followed were Adriana recruiting so rcenaries from other groups, she took whoever was interested, as for the cook, we already have llody, so there's nothing more to say.
Thus, 25 fighters were hired, along with 1 Ferreira, Cook, Doctor, rchant and Employee.
The Trader recruited is called Kara, a Half-Orc, she has a failed business with little investnt, but now Adriana has recruited her to help with finances and of course, buy or sell items for better prices.
As for the Maid, she is the one who served Kara, her na is Keyla, she is a pure-blood Orc, being around her 40s and served Kara's mother before she died.
Keyla takes care of Kara and she was recruited too, as she knows how to do a bit of everything.
And this recruitnt lasted a total of 2 days since it started, Adriana had small conflicts here and there, but it was all resolved with a few spanks, sweet words and wet hands!
And today, the day after the draft ended, they all gathered at ll's tavern, where even llody was present and looking down on Adriana.
Adriana looked at the 34 won present here, smiling, she said. - "The rules have already been explained, I don't think I need to say more about them, so let's get to what's important!
Many here because they find it unnecessary, have not learned to read or write, so they will have to learn, whether you like it or not, whoever refuses to leave, we have no place for stupid people!" - Adriana said and looked intensely at all, no one left.
"Okay, so let's go, here are so contracts that only 4 of you will sign, so co here, Maria, ll, Hyelen and Ophelia!" - Adriana said calmly and the 4 advanced.
"These are magical contracts, read them, it will state your obligations to , as well as everything I promised you!" - Adriana said calmly and handed them the contracts.
They read it and when they saw the punishnt part, they obviously hesitated, but keeping in mind the benefits, they decided to accept it, as Adriana will also be severely punished if she doesn't comply.
"Well, with these contracts signed, the 4 of you will receive many benefits, as well as the Contribution Points you receive will be doubled!" - Adriana said calmly, a new concept for all.
"What are Contribution Points?" - Asked Ajacky curious.
"I am a treasure chest, I have many valuable items and knowledge and with ti I will have more and more, what I will teach you will be standardized things, as well as I will equip you with standardized equipnt in the future, but there will be a scoring system, which will it will allow you to co to
and exchange for superior items and techniques, in the future this will be broader and you will be able to go to the Deputy Leaders to exchange, but for now you must address !
As for how you receive Contribution Points, very simple, by completing missions you will receive points, avoiding disasters, showing results and exceeding expectations, everything that is beneficial to the group, will be considered a Contribution and will give you points!
Of course, betrayals and an actions can result in reduced points, so be careful and always maintain a harmonious environnt!" - Said Adriana, who rembered sothing.
"It should be noted that whoever sleeps with
will have no bonus or preference, I am quite impartial to a certain extent, so don't constantly try to seduce , in the end you will only have a good night of intense pleasure and that's it, I will not harm this group because of won!" - Adriana said calmly and they all looked at each other, the focus turning to ll and Ajacky.
Adriana didn't bother with that and started talking about other important points, everyone listened attentively.
And after all that, Adriana said that in 1 week the official training will start, so you should study well and get to know each other, because the won present here will be your companions, to whom you will give your life.
Romance will be prohibited and if you have it, let the leaders know, so that they are under observation and of course, avoid getting pregnant as much as possible, this will be very annoying!
All were dismissed except for Ajacky, Hyelen, Maria, ll and Ophelia.
"I called you because your training will start today!" - Adriana said calmly.
"Ehh I already know, so can I go to sleep?" - Asked Ajacky raising his hand.
"Not!" - Adriana said without even looking at her.
And then she saw that everyone got excited, it was ti to teach them the perfect thod to circulate Mana using the Concepts of Chi and their understanding of the body.
"Understand that what I am teaching you is not the conventional thod, where the Aura Warriors or the Mages let their Mana flow by instinct or concentrate everything in a single point, this is pure garbage, sothing very wild and without the proper work!
What I am teaching you is how to manipulate the Mana in your bodies, a more efficient thod of making it naturally flow through your body, bringing better benefits to your body and of course, an imnse improvent in your combat capabilities or in the case of so, help them in the manufacture of unimaginable items!
So according to your combat styles and physical characteristics, I'll show you the best Mana circulations for your bodies, so will ideally focus on improving your body's resistance, others on speed, attack, defense and others!
As you may know, don't teach this to other people, otherwise you will be punished and even if you try you won't succeed, as there is a most important factor to effect all knowledge of the thod, which only I can help and Ajacky knows it well!
" - Adriana said, explaining in as much detail as possible.
Ajacky shuddered at the mory, the worst part was that her ridians weren't fully opened, nor were her Pressure Points, in fact she opened very few of them and they caused hellish pain.
But one thing is for sure, she got stronger and her mana storage capabilities only increased!
"Well, we'll start with Maria, I'll be teaching her circulation, while I'll have to fix her Veins of Energy, in the future I'll be helping her to clear everything and move to a more advanced stage, understand that it will be painful, but no pain, no gain !" - Adriana said calmly and the training started!
