BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 12. RECRUITING
Noah was pleasantly surprised, he not only had two affinities but one of them was rare, the day getting better than he had expected.
He decided to check the description of the new skills he had gained.
[Air Elemental magic: When a user activates it, the user can control and manipulate air magic ]
[Lightning Elemental magic: when activated user conjures lightning and can manipulate it to whatever they desire]
Noah liked what he saw and what he felt. He couldn't wait until he was alone to try out his new skills, they would prove to be very useful.
He thought about what the man said about advancing to tier 2, so he decided that he would go on a hunt until notification of some sort popped up that it was time for him to advance or something like that, he wasn't sure.
As he was busy inspecting and planning on his next move, the light of the crystal started to die down, he looked at the abnormally large crystal that was getting dimmer by the second, he turned and started walking towards the exit of the room, totally forgetting about the men and women that were sitting at the side, who were currently in turmoil because of Noah's Elemental Affinities.
As he was about to reach the exit he heard someone call out to him, that was when he remembered that he was not alone in the room.
The man that called out to him was a man who looked to be in his late thirties, he wore a purple robe that had yellow-colored collars and yellow colored stripes that ran from the shoulder till the ending of the robe.
The man introduced himself "My name is Zeker from the 'Purple flame guild', we will like to recruit you since you have such a good Affinity we actu....."
Before the man named Zeker could complete his sentence another man interrupted him, by introducing himself.
"My name is Gordon from the 'Blazing earth guild, our guild is more popular than his," he said pointing at the Zeker, who snorted.
"We can give you more benefits if you join us and you might even be promoted to a higher position immediately" he continued looking proud.
Noah who was lost, simply raised an eyebrow, he remembered that Gerald said joining a guild was a good thing since they got paid more than the average man, and if someone was promoted to a higher position they would get paid even more and enjoyed life.
He wanted to reply to the two men , but before he could he noticed three people walking toward him,
What made them very noticeable was not the way they carried themselves With pride, no it was the aura they released, it was an aura of POWER!.
Immediately they got to his position the two men and the other people who were in the room, either lost hope in recruiting or simply backed off.
The three were a combination of one man and two women,
The man who looked no older than thirty was dressed in a Green robe with imprinted leaves that were even a darker shade of green in random spots.
He had brown hair that ran from his head till it reached his shoulder. He was around 6.3ft in height, so he was tall, his face was expressionless, and his eye color was yellow, which when coupled with his expressionless face radiated coldness that made Noah slightly shiver.
The first woman looked around in her early thirties, she was around 5.6ft in height, and she had red hair that was cut short, it only reached her chin.
she wore a Frosty Blue robe that had white snow shapes in random spots on it.
She had green-colored eyes, that, matched her plum face. Currently, her face also radiated coldness.
The second woman also looked no older than Noah, she was around 5.5ft in height, which made her the shortest of the trio,
She had Cyan colored hair that reached her back. She wore a Black robe with golden-colored streaks that looked like lightning in places like the collar, the base of the robe, the waistline, and the chest. in all the attire looked cool.
Noah could tell that she had a great shape, even though her robe hid most of it.
She had blue eyes that seemed to sparkle in the light. Her face was blemishless and Noah had to admit that she was very beautiful, actually the most beautiful woman he had seen since he got to this world.
Among the three she was the only one smiling, which radiated friendliness.
But Noah didn't let that fool him because among the three her aura was the strongest!.
A few seconds of silence passed between the four of them before they broke the silence.
The man spoke first, " My name is Michael, I am from the Great guild 'Ravaging wind" He said before stopping for the others to introduce themselves.
The woman with blue hair spoke second," Hello my name is Melissa I am from the Great guild 'Divine Lightning" She said in a friendly tone.
Before the last person spoke," I am Greta from the Great guild Frozen prism" she Said coldly.
Noah decided to check their levels and what he saw shocked him.
[Michael]
[level: ???]
[Tier: ???]
[Greta]
[Level:???]
[Tier:???]
[Melissa]
[Level:???]
[Tier:???]
Noah was shocked, ever since he had learned how to inspect people with the system, this had never happened. The only reason he could think of was that he was way weaker than them, which didn't give him access to their information. The more he learned how weak he was the more he wanted to advance to Tier 2.
Noah also noticed that they seemed to respect each other to not fight for him yet. He stood there for a few seconds with the three staring at him, he was so shocked about not being able to check their levels that he forgot to introduce himself immediately, realizing that, he spoke immediately.
" My Name is Noah, Nice to meet you," He said.
At that, the Faces of the three changed to that of surprise, before the woman named Melissa started to giggle before she said.
"Come on guys you know he has lightning as an Affinity why don't you let me have him, besides I like him already," She said.
The man named Michael snorted,"he has Air as an Affinity too, why should I let him go"
"My guild doesn't want someone who lacks respect," Greta said before turning and walking away.
Noah felt shocked, how did he not have respect. Was something wrong with his introduction? He didn't have anything to say so he simply told them his name. 'Was that not enough?' He asked himself in perplexion.
Before he could say anything Melissa continued, simply ignoring the annoyed woman.
"Come on Michael you know I haven't gotten a recruit in the last two months, and you know that finding someone with Lightning Affinity is very hard, so please let me have him," she said in a pleading tone.
At that Michael seemed to have a difficult expression, he stood pondering something before, sighing helplessly.
"Okay, you can have him," He said before turning and walking back to the table.
"Thank you" Melissa shouted at Michael who simply raised his hand.
At that Melissa turned towards the still surprised Noah and said: " Well it is nice to meet you, Mr. Noah, would you join the guild of the Divine Lightning ".
Noah was not sure of what to answer he couldn't just join a guild even though it was one of the Great guilds, he still had to think it through.
Before he could say anything Melissa talked again, " You are interesting, most people will jump at my invitation, but you are being hesitant" she said before continuing "I will help you. since you seem not sure. Take this, anytime you are ready to drop by, this will show the others that I sent you" she said making a golden box that was small in size appear and float towards him.
Noah nodded and collected it. He inspected it but found nothing special apart from the weird rune-like marks on it.
"Push Mana into it," Melissa said noticing his confusion.
Noah nodded and did just that, he was already good at controlling the Mana in his body since he had practiced it in the forest, he even got 3 extra Mana points.
So he simply willed Mana to flow from his hands into the box.
Immediately after he did that the runes on the box lit up with white color.
