1117 True Nature
Just like what You told him, Valyr's interest really wasn't piqued when the man told him about the things he'd get if he were to join their squad. After all, he wasn't really soone who lacked rit points at the mont, especially after considering his expenditure the past week.
At the sa ti, he also wasn't soone who was in dire need of a set of elixir. Sure, the elixirs would give him a slight power boost. However, his current level of strength was already more than enough to steamroll through 10-star rcenary missions if he wanted to.
On top of that, if he really was in the need of so elixirs, he could just ask Mystia for so directly. Why bother taking a more roundabout thod?
'Speaking of elixirs, I still haven't consud the set of Advanced-level Reinforcent Elixir she gave ,' thought Valyr to himself, briefly donning a bitter smile at the thought.
With that being said, although the things he'd gain from accepting this offer wasn't really much in his eyes, the sa could not be said for the last thing You planned on offering them.
'Access to missions made for Iron rcenaries, huh?'
Pondering over it for a bit, it did not take long for him to understand why the two were able to guarantee such a thing. After all, You was a Colonel, a rank that was equivalent to a 10-Star rcenary.
From what Aleos told him before, only 10-star rcenaries were able to access missions from Iron rcenaries.
Considering how even missions made for 10-star rcenaries couldn't pose that much of a challenge for him with his current strength, it could be said that Valyr's interest was piqued after hearing he could gain access to those missions.
However, after pondering over it for a bit more, the young man's interest in the matter gradually disappeared. Instead, he began thinking of it as sothing similar to the other things the two wanted to give him.
'Though gaining access to mission for Iron rcenaries does sound tempting, it's not like having access to it would change much about what I'm doing right now,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself, soon coming to a decision.
Letting out a faint sigh, Valyr gave both Zuo and You an apologetic smile as he shook his head. "I apologize. I appreciate the offer, but I'll have to decline."
"Decline?" Unsurprisingly, the two looked at him with slight surprise, only for them to look at each other soon after in slight confusion.
"Yes," said Valyr in response, his turning turning bitter after noticing the greater confusion that appeared on their faces.
Of course, it wasn't as if Valyr planned on declining the offer of the two from the start. The things they were offering him were more than enough to entice any other person in joining their War Squad.
Unfortunately for them, Valyr wasn't just any other person.
Though having access to Iron rcenary missions would definitely speed up his promotion to a higher rank, it wasn't as if he was in a rush to get as high of a rank as possible. After all, he'd already beco a 6-star rcenary within a week.
With his strength verified to be more than enough to handle 10-star rcenary missions, Valyr surmised that he wouldn't even need an entire month in the frontlines to reach the rank necessary to take on Iron rcenary missions on his own.
Whilst the young man was slightly engrossed in his thoughts, Zuo and You eventually recovered their countenances as they looked back at Valyr. "You sure you don't want to join our War Squad? The Elite War Squad Tournant is about to start in a month, you know?"
"Not only that, but they say that the winning prize for the War Squad that gets first place is 3,000 rit points for each mber," added Zuo in a bid to make Valyr change his mind. "Imagine how much you could do with 3,000 rit points!"
Surprisingly, after hearing that he'd be able to get a windfall of rit points from participating in the tournant, Valyr's expression briefly turned into that of hesitation as he had an idea on how many missions one would have to take in order to get that much rit points.
However, just like what transpired earlier, the allure of the large sum of rit points gradually disappeared in Valyr's mind, causing his decision to beco more firm than ever before. "Although that does sound appealing, I'll still have to decline your offer."
"Are you really going to decline our offer, just like that?" asked You in response, his slightly arrogant tone causing Valyr to frown. "Even though we've co all our way to appear in front of you? Even though both of us have higher ranks than you?"
Whoosh!
Just as You finished saying those words, the two imdiately flared their auras in their entirety, directing all of it towards Valyr in a bid to intimidate him. "We've already shown you so much goodwill, yet you're going to throw it away just like that?"
Seeing how forceful the two beca just because he declined their offer, Valyr's impression of the two imdiately soured as he showed indifference to their auras. "Goodwill? In what world does interrupting a person seem like goodwill? In what world does intimidating a person for declining your offer seem like goodwill?"
"I've already made myself clear." At this point, a small group of people had taken notice of what was going on between the three, wanting to see the situation unfold. "I reject your offer of joining your War Squad."
"Also, do you really think that tactic would work on ?" Scoffing at the auras the two were blasting at him, Valyr went ahead and flared his entire aura in response, directing all of its force straight towards Zuo and You.
Swoosh!
In less than an instant, the two imdiately felt like they were prey being stared at by a predator, causing their bodies to shudder all of a sudden.
Though, just as they thought that the young man in front of them was about to make yet another move, the aura he flared out disappeared in an instant, only for Valyr's voice to echo far behind the two not long after.
"Just in case you try to persuade to join your War Squad again, let tell you this now," said the young man, his words loud enough for everyone to hear.
"No matter how many tis you two try, I'll reject it every ti!"
With that, the young man eventually made his way to the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall, prompting many who'd watched the entire situation unfold to discuss it with one another.
As for Zuo and You, the two had unsightly expressions on their faces after obtaining Valyr's vehent disapproval. Recalling the aura the young man targeted at them, their expression turned even more unsightly, with Zuo even gritting his teeth.
"Are we just gonna leave it like this?" Zuo looked at You beside him as the two decided to head to the barracks for the anti. "I know we can find other people for the War Squad, but the way he treated us pisses off."
"It pisses off as well, but don't worry," said You back as he assured him. "We'll focus on finding other mbers for the War Squad for the anti. After all, that takes precedence."
"However, that doesn't an we'll forget about him."
With a glint in his eye, he told Zuo with a furious expression. "As long as he hasn't accepted our offer of joining our War Squad, I'll make sure his ti here remains a living hell."
"On the day he changes his mind and decides to accept… we'll surely return the humiliation he gave us back to him tenfold… no."
"A hundredfold."
