18 New Guild Members (1/2)
Raymond who saw the notifications pop out was feeling a bit weird. Aside from the first time he saw a dead human body back in the siblings' village, he no longer felt apprehensive seeing dead bodies.
'I know humans are adaptable but aren't I being too adaptable?... Hmm, whatever, Let's not think about it too much.' Raymond once again dismissed the idea.
He then pressed the Y button and he received the rewards for finishing the task. When he pressed on it and received his reward he got another notification.
[Level Up]
It has been quite some time since he last leveled up. The monsters near the guild house weren't strong enough and no longer gave him any EXP. Though he understood that there were more powerful monsters deeper into the forest, but as long as he didn't have the undying body like Brom and Roselia, Raymond didn't want to risk it. He might've died once already, but dying this early in his second life wasn't something he wanted.
When he was about to check on his status screen, the siblings approached him and knelt on the ground. If the siblings were loyal before because of Raymond's miraculous deeds and him saving them. But after helping them get their revenge even though there was no need to do so, it made them absolutely loyal to him to the point that Raymond could do anything to them and they won't mind.
In the eyes of the siblings, Raymond was now something akin to a God. He was powerful, can do miracles, and he helped them in their most dire moments. Even if he wasn't a God, he was a God in their hearts.
This time they were willing to fight for Raymond, they were willing to die for Raymond, they would never allow anyone to slander him. This time they weren't doing this because of the contract but because they wanted to do it from the bottom of their hearts.
”Guild Master, thank you for granting us our revenge.”
”Guild Master, thank you for giving us the strength to have our revenge.”
”No problem, we are now one guild one family,” Raymond answered while laughing heartily as he was in a good mood after leveling up.
...
While the three Guildmates were talking to each other, the knight-apprentices were releasing the locked up people. Once they were done they looked at each other trying to discern what the other was feeling.
”What do you guys think?” Lux asked the other two.
”I haven't seen anyone fight like that, especially with one's fist. The combat energy he was releasing was different. Also, the last technique he used that made that horrific noise was awesome!” Rei excitedly gave out his opinion.
”Do you guys think they were taught by Sir Raymond?” Daniel asked his two companions.
”Sir Raymond uses a sword, Brom uses his fist, and Roselia is a priestess. The three of them have nothing similar except they claim to be from the same Guild. We don't even know what a Guild is.”
”The siblings look to be a bit younger than us as well. So instead of guessing, how about, we ask them how they became so strong?” Hearing Lux's suggestion the other two nodded their heads.
...
Raymond who was about to check on his status screen was once again interrupted. This time the ones who interrupted him were the three knight apprentices.
”Sir Raymond, may we ask you a question?”
