On entering I found a lady with blonde hair who seems to be working as a receptionist.
I gave her my card.
"Wait for a few minutes".
I gave a brief nod and looked around. There weren't many decorations. The security doesn't seem to be too tight.
The lady with the blonde hair was both a receptionist and battle mage. She seems to be soft and weak but she was really strong in the fight against the monster.
Her na was Morgana. She was staring at with a sharp gaze from the corner of her eye observing my every movent.
"Sir please go to that room".she pointed to the left
In the room, three pillars of the sky were sitting at the desk. I was feeling the atmosphere of giving an interview. I was nearly nervous.
Aaron and my eyes t and we give a brief nod.
" You are 1st year in Horizon. Have you any experience in fighting monsters".
I wanted to say about my death experience at the hand of the brown wolf but refrain from doing.
" Just fought so beast at dungeon test.I have no real-life battle experience".
I ca clean and decided to tell my thoughts of joining them.
"I understand your need for money but why skies".
You might be surprised about being interviewed to join a rcenary but Aaron is a cautious person. He is the type of person who can go to any length for friends. With Scotch and Reynolds being here he doesn't want any wolf in his team as he treats all his mbers as family.
"As you know it's new and it will be not easier for 1 Star like to get into any nad one's. Secondly I have information for soone inside your group that I want to give".
Both Scotch and Reynolds frowned at my answer. I knew it would be difficult but for my future safety, I have to take a risk.
" What information and for whom".
"Sorry I can tell only if you take in".
Weighing pros and cons he decided" Ok first we will hunt in the dungeon. Seeing your performance we will decide. Don't worry even if we don't take you in you will get compensation for the hunt".
"We will be Hunting dungeon from F to E rank now. If you can be fit in our Skies you will have a monthly pay of 20,000 and as you are a new mber. We will give you 5% profit from the monster part you hunt along with salary"
"Get ready tomorrow we will be going to E rank dungeon but don't worry with us you will be free from any trouble".
"Here is your contract with pay for the hunt tomorrow, there are other things in the contract please take a look".
Reading everything properly I signed the contract. Everything looks fine and I am also placing my hope about the character portrait being true according to what I know.
" Now you can leave and prepare".
Nodding my head I left.
"So how is it Scotch. What is your opinion".
" I have monitored his heart rates and pulses through my device. He doesn't seem to have any hidden agenda that will harm us".
"But why did we choose him. We have dozens of applicants that are better than him".Reynolds has been wondering it from the beginning.
Honestly, a business-minded person like him doesn't want to accept and waste ti with a newbie that hasn't even taken his foot outside.
"How many years have been when you all been in this profession ".
" 10 or perhaps 20 years".
"Have ever seen any students below 3 rd year joined any rcenary. Students from commoners generally join after graduating. Only students belonging to the upper hierarchy join before graduating. Moreover, they join their family rcenary or well known".
Both thought about the life they have lived. The leader words rang in their ears. They have a fair share of experience but this is the first ti they have seen a boy like him.
He was nervous when he entered but he was trying to get used to it and when he left he seem to control his emotions well. He is still learning for everything he lacks.
" Even if academy life is harsh and sowhat cruel it can't be comparable to life in the dungeon where you don't know even you can return after you enter. In academy even if you do wrong unless you cross the line there wouldn't be any harsh punishnt".
"I mayn't be an expert in judging but looking at him he wants to get stronger and only by living a life out of comfort will he be able to go up, even if he is bronze bloodline he is not willing to settle for less. I want to see how far he can go".
Sigh
Both of them shook their head. They know their leader may be strict from the outside but he is soft. If not be a person of good character, after all, they wouldn't be there.
My first plan seems to go well till now. Now my second plan.
I have no confidence in my second plan. But if it goes well years from now I don't have to worry about money.
I called for the person for an appointnt and he has agreed to et.
Ordering a strawberry milkshake which used to be my favourite I took my place at the table waiting for the person.
My nerves were quite tensed after eting at skies. I am not good at these kinds of things such as negotiation but I have to learn. In this world, a mber of any noble faction should have good social skills.
I have to hone this skill in the ti I have, as I am 100% sure one day I will need it. If I don't learn to present myself honourably I will surely regret it in future.
A man with a beard entered with his hair in disarray. He looked like a mad scientist. He is a graduate of the academy. He is researching in making small battle suits. The battle suits will look like small spheres that can be carried easily which will unfold to cover your body.
One of the brilliant inventions in the future that will lead mankind forward. Now he is in the prototype phase and looking for investnt. With huge struggles, he will be successful in the future and will beco one of the giants in the business.
Seeing one of the richest n of the future in these conditions my heartaches. I don't have much money now but I have to take the gamble.
pᴀɴda nᴏvel Joining skies will give a steady supply of money and with almost everything free in the academy I can invest half on him even after saving so for myself.
With help of the system, I don't require money for resources and with Skies, I will be able to procure exp.
I raised my hand to signal him to co.
Taking his seat before he looked at with curiosity. He must have expected so bigshot but the one before him was a teenage boy who shocked him.
"Lucas, a pleasure to et you".I extended my hand
"Nice to et you too"
" You can call Jas".
Shaking his hand I said, "You can order anything you want. It will be on ".
" Thanks then I will take an expresso".
"What do you want to discuss with ".
" I will get straight to the point. I am quite poor but due to an opportunity, I can now earn a decent amount. I have listened about your project from the academy. I want to invest and beco your business partner".
"How much can you invest in and where do you get confidence that I will succeed ".
" Think of it as a gut feeling. If your idea becos true I can hit big.".
"And about money, if you agree I can give 30,000R and every month I can provide a minimum 8000R.In the future I can provide you millions but it will take ti". Pressing his mind he asked to give him so ti to think and left.
After that, we discussed many other things and in the end, I told him not to think much and even if he failed, think of this as a loan.
Giving a brief nod he left. His eyes looked sad. He was talented but one of his ideas was stolen by a noble lackey. He has been depressed for the ti.
I wanted to assure him of revenge but decided to leave after all I am myself not strong enough to do anything." I shouldn't raise his morals unnecessarily unless I can back him up".
Looking at his back I drank my milkshake.
I have a 60℅ chance of success. When you talk about the investnt you talk in millions but I don't have that money still I offered him because at this stage as described in a novel he even finds it hard to eat food. Every ti he earns he put everything into his invention.
Such is life.
