BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 86 - New Group
"That's not going out the door..." Ryan said while sighing. Then he turned around and saw the two guild members watching through the window. 'Ah... Yeah I'm going to need some help'
Then the young whitemane started waving calling out to the two.
"You did it, you closed a red portal by yourself?" Said one of them.
"Didn't you see his fight? The other replied, with a nonconformist face.
Again with an uneasy smile, Ryan looked at them both and just nodded, then he asked for help "Can you get this skull out? The dungeon didn't have any good loot, so I took this thing as my reward"
A chill came over the two agents, they were breaking out in a cold sweat as they looked at the dragon skull. Even though they stuttered, they still tried to speak "Y-you defeated this dragon?"
Hearing this question, Ryan just crossed both arms, placing a hand on his chin, he began to ponder what the best answer was.
'In a way I defeated it... But I'm already lying about the rewards of the portal...'
Ignoring those thoughts, he just told the truth.
'Not exactly, that portal led to a litch's lair. That skull was the final boss, but he was extremely weakened!" as Ryan recounted his struggle, the two agents were surprised.
"How impressive! And to think you're just a student" One of them said.
The other then tapped his colleague with one shoulder, and laughing said "I told you he was a prodigy".
Just then, the portal disappeared, revealing the kitchen that was completely intact, in the center of the kitchen island was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. One of the officers approached the kitchen with a magic energy detector, then with a thumbsup he confirmed that the portal was gone.
After brief paperwork, Ryan had completed his first portal. Next, the family could finally finish their snack and get on with a quiet evening. That little child remained confused by everything that had happened, yet both father and mother were extremely grateful to the young student.
Placing the guild clock on top of the skull, that dragon head was transported in seconds to the guild's underground base. 'I need to let John know that this loot is mine...' he thought .
"You're so strong and is still so young. That's really impressive!" Dad said, with tears on his face as he walked into the house.
"Do you want a snack? or some water" Mom said, as she walked into the kitchen.
Ryan just denied with his head and thanked her for the compliments. Walking out the door along with the guild officers.
"You're gonna go far kid" One of the agents said to Ryan. But he just kept walking and going his way. Looking up at the sky that student just said briefly "I hope so, thank you for your service gentlemen" disappearing soon after.

In the guild's underground base, four men in suits were trying to lift that dragon skull. Meanwhile, Ryan just watched next to John Wrynn's assistant.
"How much should I get for that?" He questioned, as he turned to the orange-haired elf.
"Hmm... About ten thousand" She replied, casually.
At that very instant, Ryan's head could think of nothing but money. He was sporting a gigantic smile of satisfaction, already thinking about what he was going to do with that amount of money.
I think I need to change my cell phone first...' He thought, looking at the device in his hands. It was a simple model.
<'Ten thousand... Is that a lot?
'Hmm... Ten thousand is enough to live on for a long time. With that you can buy a new bike, or some scrolls and equipment.
The elf then turned to Ryan, it was as if she had just remembered something important.
'I forgot to tell you this, but we've added a few more curse titles to the base library. You were looking for these, right?" She spoke this with a certain tone of naturalness, but in a way, this was a little uncomfortable for Ryan.
'So they are monitoring what we are studying...'
He just nodded and thanked them, walking to the training room. As he walked around the base, a strange notification appeared on his system.
-----------
[Crystaldrift Compass]
- Mission skill - Check report
- Portal detected - Proximity 40 meters
-----------
Ryan's eyes widened, so he took off running as fast as he could into the portal area. As he advanced, the compass distance decreased. With each turn of the corridor, the counter kept getting smaller and smaller, and as his footsteps echoed through the corridors, he could hear the voices of various people more and more clearly.
Walking through the door that led to the portal room, he encountered an unpleasant sight. Damian Smith was standing in front of one of the three portals in that room, he was accompanied by a group of travelers, all prepared for a battle. The idiot Khalazhan was wearing his thick iron armor, behind him was an elf with kine hair and a mage's outfit. Chatting with the elf was what looked like a young druid, in addition there was a hunter accompanied by a white panther.
'They are going to clear a portal...'
The compass was pointing toward the portal that was in front of the group. Ryan's hurried steps caught the attention of all the members of the group, who were intently watching the entrance of that famous newcomer.
The druid was surprised and waving to Ryan, called him to join the group.
"Ryan of the black flames! You want to clear a portal?" The druid was with an excited smile. But Damian turned to his own companion with an extremely aggressive look "You can't recruit someone that fast, you pigeon of shit" Damian was with both fists clenched, as if he was prepared to fight.
The druid was startled by that, and within seconds he turned into some sort of mix of man and bear. Still, he looked friendly, scratching the back of his neck, he just replied "But I am the leader of the group. And we are not with the closed group."
Ryan approached the group and accepted the invitation. "Sure we can clear a portal, in fact I came running here because I was told there was a group with a free space" He was with a confident smile on his face, trying to ignore the fact that Damian was again using the tease skill on him.
<You're getting used to lying>
'I'm just making things simpler'
----------
[Damian Smith tried to use the provoke skill on Ryan Whitemane]
[Due to the equivalence of forces, the provoke skill was nullified]
----------
Sighing, Ryan just started fiddling with his cell phone, trying to ignore Damian's presence.
'I'm going to kill that son of a bitch...'
After a few minutes of waiting, the last healer arrived. It was a girl in shaman robes, somewhat similar to the clothes of a mage or a cleric, the only difference was the type of magic and the wearing of a wooden mask next to her head.
"Ah!" The druid said, surprised.
"What the fuck!" Damian shouted, irritated.
"We didn't introduce ourselves" The druid replied, with a gentle smile.
Then, he bowed to everyone "My name is Kodiak, I am a druid". Then he bowed and greeted everyone. Kodiak had long green hair and was wearing leather armor, he was carrying a staff on his back, which somewhat resembled a shepherd's staff, except that it had a red jewel on the wood slant.
"The name is Nivia" said the gray-haired mage, she was a somewhat short woman with short hair and modest breasts. Her gaze was a little colder than Alice's, but she was still extremely beautiful, especially for her bluish mouth and the gray eyebrows and eyelashes that highlighted her beautiful blue eyes. Her hair was light gray, a little close to white but still darker than Nyx's.
Hunter's panther then began to lengthen, drawing the group's attention to Hunter. He had short red hair, and was wearing mesh armor with iron details for added protection, bowing to the group, he said "Roy Radcliffe, and her name is Snowy" The panther then began to purr, asking for affection as she ran her head down Roy's leg.
Then the shaman introduced herself "Ruri, I am an Elementalist shaman". Everyone was looking at Ryan. In a way, it was not necessary for him to introduce himself. Since everyone in that room knew who he was, he still continued with it, smiling he said "Ryan Whitemane"
The druid then crossed both arms, looking at him.
"What is your class?" he asked.
'What I am...'
<Hmm. A demonologist?>
'That will work'
With a confident voice, Ryan patted his own chest and said "I am a demonologist mage".
Exhaling in anger, Damian just turned his back to everyone and entered the portal "Damian Smith, Tank warrior" And then, he disappeared inside the portal.
