Chapter 26 - Recruitment

"What is it? Did you find any suitable candidate?"

"Yes, but they are two and they want to join together."

"No...we only need one member. I already have my plate full, you know."

"Well...if you say so, I will decline them. By the way, did I mention that they were heavenly talents...ahhh, what a pity, bye—"

"Hold it, you bastard, and no, you didn't mention that. You better hold them there; I'm coming in 10 minutes, and if I don't find them, you will be dead."

"Hehehe...fine~fine~".

"She really is full of energy," The clerk said with a little laugh.

"You seem to know her," Lucifer asked in an amusing tone.

"Of course, I know her; she is my sister, after all..."

"Oh, I see."

"So, you guys also want to join any team?" The clerk asked them.

"No," Lucifer said simply, and the receptionist didn't ask anything afterward, and they just waited for his sister to arrive, but his eyes couldn't stop scanning his sister, and Lucifer could feel she was already getting pissed....

well, it's natural for men to get attracted to her body, and we can't blame him since he isn't stepping over his bounds...

After exactly 10 minutes, a woman with yellow hair and eyes entered the guild, and she also was a heavenly beauty, just like Fiona and Flora...it seems like talent and beauty go hand in hand in this world...this devious heaven is really biased.

When she entered, all people became quiet...heavenly talents are famous figures, after all.

She directly came to them, and she also took a good look at him but diverted her attention. Handsome men are also appreciated even by women who don't like talking to males.

"So, which two of you wanted to join us?" The woman directly came to business, but she seemed eager to recruit them.

Fiona and Flora raised their hands.

"Can I confirm that you guys are heavenly talents?" She said in a low voice to not attract other people's attention.

Their cards had a hidden mark that only showed up when they directly poured spiritual energy into it, and it showed their talents.

Fiona and Flora brought out their cards and poured their spiritual energy into them, and a mark that indicated heavenly talent popped out.

"Perfect...welcome to our Budding Flowers. Which law are you guys attuned to?" She had already seen their levels on the card, so she didn't ask.

"Wind and water," Fiona answered.

"Good, if you guys want, I can recruit your friend too, but for this guy, even though he is handsome, it's not possible, since we only recruit women." She really seemed happy that she poached two heavenly talents; she even offered to take his sister as a freebie and even complimented him as handsome.

"Oh, you want me as a freebie, huh...like you are doing me some favor," Eve replied, and now she was smiling deviously inside her hood...'fuck, sis, please don't cause more trouble for us.'

"Heavenly talent, is it...huh, is it really that rare?"

"Sis...please stop there," Lucy intervened so as not to escalate things...'Aunt, now I can understand how you had felt all this time.'

"Why, brother...I just asked a simple—" Lucy put his hand on her mouth and dragged her toward the gates.

"Fiona, Flora, take care of yourselves and contact us if you guys need anything," Lucy said while dragging her outside; also, she seemed to be struggling, but it was just a show as she just loved to play.

"Okay~ Brother Lucy."

"You two really have some amusing friends."

"Well, they really are amusing and amazing," Fiona replied happily.

"Oh, amazing too...huh, looks like you guys don't know the real value of your heavenly talents...haah."

"Of course, we know, but let me tell you, if Brother Lucy hadn't dragged Evelyn out, you might have gotten the shock of your life."

"Really...are you suggesting that they have supreme talents or something? Please don't joke around."

"Hehehe...who knows? Maybe that was the case."

Rhea stared at Fiona for a long period of time when she heard that..."Forget it, let's go meet your new teammates."

"Sure."

*****

What was this femme fatale sister of his thinking? She really was going to say all those things casually..."Hey, sis, don't do that again; we still want to live peacefully for two years, you know."

"Fine~ fine, I will try to control."

Why did her conviction sound half-hearted?

"Forget it, let's go hunt some beasts; I'm already bored to death now."

"Fine by me." Well, exploring the forest would be filled with a little thrill at least, and Lucy wanted lots of credit points to exchange for as many spatial stones as he could.

They entered the forest where they would be spending lots of time for the time being.

******(1 month later)

"I can already see its traces, brother." In this one month, they had hunted a lot of level 3 and level 4 beasts, but all were normal beasts, and the count was in the hundreds now.

And right now, they were trailing a level 4 heavenly beast, a dark panther that also excelled in the heavenly law of darkness.

Finding a heavenly beast was quite a surprise for them, and one with a heavenly law was even more so, so they were not letting it go. It ran away when it saw them; a heavenly beast's danger sense was extraordinary, after all.

Although a dead heavenly beast was valued at 900 for elemental law and 3000 for heavenly law, its price increased tremendously for a live one because every organization wanted to tame them, after all. The increase was 10 times 900 if it was an alive heavenly beast of elemental law, which would be 9000 credits, but if it was of heavenly law, then it was 20 times 3000, which would be 60000 credits, and that's a total of 60 spatial stones for Lucy

Lucy still hadn't started absorbing them because he wanted to complete level 3 in one go. He and his sister only practiced chaos law every day, but their progress was as slow as normal talents for elemental law because there was miniscule concentration of chaos law in the world, but still, since they were eating meat of level 4 chaos creatures, they were still faster.

He needed 30 for level 1, 120 for level 2, and 600 for level 3. He figured out this amount with how much chaos law was required for them to reach level 3, and he already knew how much law was present in these stones, so it was an easy guess for him. He had to find a better alternative to these stones because the amount he needed would be tremendous in the future.

He had a communication stone in his hand and was communicating with his sister as she was tracking the beast because of her cloak. Their friend was sitting on his shoulder.

"Perfect." Killing it would be way easier, but capturing it alive would be very difficult, after all, its strength also matched theirs because it was a level 4 heavenly beast with heavenly law.

But with Eve's cloak of invisibility, it would be really easier; it really was a broken item, after all. Even if they couldn't kill it, they could still critically injure it, and after that, capturing it would be very easy.

"You can begin, sis; I am already standing opposite to you guys."

"Hm...ok," Eve replied, and he couldn't see her from here, and she had already put her communication stone into...

...

'Now then, after running all this time, you are resting here like there is no danger around you. You really are confident in your abilities, huh.'

Eve made her way to the tree where this panther was resting while its eyes were fully closed, and even though she was standing just in front of it, it didn't even react.

She brought out her sword and put its tip just above its hind leg and stabbed it without coating it with chaos law. After all, even life laws wouldn't be able to heal wounds caused by chaos laws unless the level difference between these two laws was considerable, and she really didn't want to waste precious life resources for it.

"Grrrrrrrraaaaahhhhhh..."

"Oh, easy there...if you resist, it will only make it more painful," Eve said without removing her sword from its leg and dodging its front claw attacks.
