When Roland was lost in thoughts, Garcia could not wait any more and asked, “I’ve answered your question. Now, I want to hear your answer.”

It took him a few seconds before he made a reply, “Ah, yes, I’ll join the association.”

“What?” She seemed surprised.

He spread out his hands and said, “I’m willing to join you. Isn’t that what you’re asking for?”

“Yes… I was just thinking that you…”

“You thought I got cold feet?” He chuckled. “I really just went shopping with my relative in the afternoon. Why can’t you trust me? But can I apply to join the association now? You said that the senior is the referee.”

Garcia stared at Roland for quite a long time with a serious look, as if she was discerning whether or not this application was sincerely meant. After that she shook her head and explained, “No, she’s not a referee. She’s my master. I invited her to come to show you how to better use the Force of Nature, but she’ll never want to meet you again.”

Hearing this, Roland thought, “Uhm, is it because that I stood her up today? She must have been very upset and it seemed that she even reproached Garcia.”

She pulled out a piece of paper from her tea table and gave it to him. “You just need to fill out this form to apply. Your signature is required.”

Roland was startled. “Is it so simple? It’s an association secretly protecting the whole world. Don’t you need to hold a ceremony or test my ability first?

Garcia sneered coldly. “Come on. Do you think we are the ancient Priory of Sion or Knights of the Holy Temple? It’s modern times now. Your signature just indicates that we protect your right to know. When the association receives your application form, it’ll check your identity and file for social security and grants in your name.” She paused. “As for the ability test, anyone who has awakened with the Force of Nature is eligible to become a martialist. You can get much stronger if you work hard. Given this, a test for a newly awakened doesn’t determine anything.”

Roland felt it was really weird to hear a person brought up in an ancient royal family to talk like this.

When he picked up the pen and was about to sign, she stopped him.

She said solemnly, “I have to remind you again. Once you become one of us, you’ll no longer be an ordinary person. You’ll enjoy the rights granted by the Martialist Association and meanwhile have to fulfill your obligations. If you betray us or disclose our secret information, you’ll immediately become our enemy. When that happens, we won’t bring you to a court. We’re allowed to punish any betrayer according to our own procedure. I hope you think it over before you sign.”

She had fervently hoped that he could join the association, but now she was reminding him of the risks of joining it. This changed his attitude toward her. He found Garcia in this Dream World was totally different. No matter how devious and cruel the Queen of Clearwater had been back in the Kingdom of Graycastle, she handled everything open and aboveboard in this world.

“I know what I’m doing.” Roland nodded and signed his name. “Now, can you tell me the truth about the Erosion?”
