Conjurer, huh...
Judging from her personality, Menchi didn't seem like an Enhancer. Oboro had always thought that she was an Emitter.
Conjurers were a bit neurotic...
It was also understandable.
Oboro looked at the woman, who was 5 years younger than him, with a smile, "You didn't appear here through the Phyllis Family's channels... Can I assume that you came for me?"
"That's right... I heard some things about you in the Association... Therefore, I'm very interested in the team that you're forming." Menchi replied calmly.
"You're interested in the mission that I'm going to complete, right... Not me as a person." Oboro chuckled.
"You could say that."
Menchi nodded.
"You've been in the Association for a long time, and there's also that Buhara who's often with you. Aren't you two a team? You should have your own team, right?"
Faced with Oboro's question, Menchi raised an eyebrow unhappily, "What? If you don't want to accept me, just say so. I can leave."
"It's okay. You're welcome."
Oboro smiled.
A middle-aged man with a story, a narcissistic and flamboyant playboy, a shy and stuttering young man, a passionate and honest country bumpkin... And finally, a picky and demanding storyline girl with a bit of a fiery temper.
Sigh... These five people's personalities were really distinct.
Well... To be able to become powerful Nen ability users, wouldn't each of them be outstanding in their character?
Going with the flow... Was not a way to stand out. Everyone had their own style of doing things... And they were firm in their own beliefs.
Oboro's eyes looked at the five people present, and he thought to himself.
"It's undeniable that some of us came for the money, and some of us just wanted to join a team with potential and cooperate... To grow together. I just joined the Association, and I don't know much about you..."
After they had gotten to know each other, Anthony, the pompadour-haired man, suddenly looked at Oboro, "Considering all aspects, the No. 1 in the team must be the most outstanding choice..."
"You're trying to say, why should I be the captain, right?"
Oboro slowly stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets, and expressed his understanding of Anthony's question.
"That's right."
Anthony said bluntly without any scruples.
"There's no other reason... It's just because, I'm strong enough."
After Oboro finished speaking, a terrifying Nen ability, accompanied by his personal spiritual will, instantly created a surging pressure.
Like a roaring giant wave, it washed over the entire room.
The five people in front of him felt threatened, and subconsciously adopted a defensive stance.
They also released their Nen ability...
However, under Oboro's aura, the minds of the few people were difficult to support, and there were signs of disintegration.
Being able to maintain their defensive stance already showed that their strength wasn't low...
And in Menchi's eyes, the moment Oboro released his Nen ability, the entire room went dark... It was filled with a terrifying Nen ability, emanating from the man, making him look like the Grim Reaper had descended.
Oboro's Nen ability was attached with his malice and killing intent...
Everyone's feelings were different when this Nen ability brushed over their bodies.
For example, Anthony... In his mind, he seemed to have seen the illusion of his own corpse lying on the spot, dying again and again, with blood staining the ground red.
The next second, Oboro retracted his Nen ability, and the room instantly returned to brightness.
He looked at Anthony, who was covered in sweat and had a bloodless face, and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this reason?"
"..."
Anthony took a deep breath, glanced at the other party with lingering fear, and reluctantly raised his hand, "I admit it."
"I admit it."
Fant also raised his hand.
"I admit it!"
Rita shouted.
"I... Ad...mit..."
Gabe Witsch.
"I admit it."
Menchi's heart was surging. It was indeed right for her to choose to join Oboro's team.
This man... Was like what Senior Biscuit had said.
She closed her eyes, and also expressed her opinion.
The team was just a prototype right now. It was still lacking some roles, such as healing abilities... But Oboro wasn't in a hurry. He would slowly look for them later.
In fact, when he met Biscuit before, Oboro had wanted to extend an invitation to her.
But Biscuit probably wouldn't agree.
Although Biscuit's ability couldn't directly heal the target, it was also a type of restorative ability.
Then, Oboro took the five people to the Association headquarters.
He began to look for missions...
He wanted to choose missions that were the most difficult.
This kind of extremely difficult mission generally needed to be approved by the review department... Gabe Witsch and Anthony were new recruits who had just joined the Association, so it might not be approved. Therefore, Oboro planned to find the Chairman, and use his connections...
After completing the previous entrusted mission and sparring with Netero, the old man seemed to have lost interest in him... And he didn't plan to arrange anything for him anymore.
In Oboro's view, the old man had just helped him push open 'that door'. The path after that depended on how he walked it himself.
It was also possible that he was afraid of being pestered by him again...
"Pariston became the Vice Chairman?" In the lobby, Oboro logged into the Association's website with a computer, browsed the mission content, and turned to look at Menchi.
After entering the Association headquarters, he had heard some people talking about it.
"Yeah... He just became the Vice Chairman not long ago. The Chairman personally appointed him."
Menchi replied.
"Three stars?"
Oboro turned his gaze back to the computer screen.
"Yeah."
In just two years, he had gone from two stars to three stars... Combining this with Pariston's age, this person was indeed skilled.
"Let's take this one..." After a long while, Oboro pointed to the interface displayed on the computer.
"Two... Star di...fficulty?"
Gabe Witsch looked at the mission icon, and stuttered.
"I originally wanted to choose a three-star mission, but since our team still needs to work together, let's start with a two-star mission..." Oboro explained in a casual tone.
Two-star difficulty meant that it was work that required a two-star Hunter to lead the team in order to be qualified to carry out, but it wasn't certain that they could complete it.
Missions with stars were often directly proportional to danger.
"Entrusted to the Association by the Ochima Federal Republic... To investigate, cooperate in the excavation and digging of a newly discovered ancient ruin. Danger description: There are other potential foreign forces attempting to steal and destroy the treasures and resources inside the ruins." Anthony stretched his head in front of the computer, and read word by word.
The Ochima Federal Republic was one of the V5.
"It's not officially entrusted. It's a large organization in the country of the Ochima Federal Republic..." Oboro added.
"Even if this kind of large company isn't official, it still has official backing. There must be no shortage of Nen ability users under its command. There are actually forces that can hinder them..." Menchi frowned, and said, "Colleagues from other countries, huh..."
"Probably."
Oboro nodded.
It could be seen that Menchi was very experienced.
Even a closed small country like East Gorteau had many powerful Nen ability users, let alone other open countries... Ordinary companies or organizations weren't that difficult. When it came to star-rated missions, most of them involved the 'national' level.
Even if it wasn't a government organization... There was a certain connection.
Being able to create trouble for the Ochima Federal Republic... Perhaps it was the hostile forces of other countries among the V5.
Although the V5 was a United Nations-like department that solved international problems... It wasn't as harmonious as it appeared on the surface. There were also conflicts over interests and other aspects between the several countries.
Generally speaking, these conflicts wouldn't be placed on the surface. They were handled privately.
Although the governments of various countries wouldn't get involved, these private companies and organizations under their command were actually their claws.
"But, we don't have any Ruins Hunters, and we don't have any two-star Hunters..." Menchi said.
The review department would definitely reject their application.
"It's not easy to find missions with stars... Some of them aren't necessarily in our field of expertise. If there are any, we should take them first, so that they don't get snatched away by others. I'm an Ancient Text Hunter, so I can provide some help with the excavation..." As Oboro said this, he took out his phone.
Hearing this, Menchi understood that Oboro was going for the achievements.
After a moment, the number that Oboro dialed was connected.
"Ho ho... Are you preparing to start working?" On the other end, Netero's voice came.
Without Oboro explaining first, the old man seemed to have guessed his intentions when he received his call.
"I'm preparing to take on a mission here. According to the process, it might not work. I need you to come forward." Oboro said calmly.
Biscuit should have contacted Netero...
"No problem. Go ahead and do it boldly..."
