Ch-18

Esme is back at the academy.

She is currently in the dean's office having a staredown with her.

Her sisters are currently sitting away staring at the two before them.

Until Merlin walked in interrupted the staredown.

"What's going on in here?" Merlin asked while walking towards his wife, giving her a hug and a kiss.

"Esme and I are arguing. Because of a boy, she quit being a squad leader, the very same boy who killed William yesterday." Elizabeth said to Merlin.

"Melio Pendragon. " Merlin said this name while rubbing his chin.

"Melio did nothing wrong. He had the right to choose to let William live or die that day. It was his right." Esme said. Esme also sounded like a wife defending her husband's actions.

"I am only back to this shitty academy because my sister can get the best training here under my guide. However, I will be looking for potential recruits soon." Esme said to Elizabeth before walking out with her sister.

Once the girls left, Elizabeth lets out a deep sigh.

"Our granddaughter is as stubborn as you when I first meet you, dear. " Elizabeth said to Merlin.

"Yet, she still doesn't know—it what I agreed with my father back then when I give our son to him. I can't say anything until Emma & Jill turn 21. Unless my son dies, I have to wait until they turn of age.

Anyways, I handled the problem Melio give you. However, he sent out a bounty for Melio worth 100 Million. As well as some assassins, all at A-rank." Merlin said to his wife as he sat down in front of his wife.

Back at the Hunters Association Guild.

Melio, Cecily, Diana, and Hera are sitting down, waiting for the Guild to send them their guild Badges and documents, making their guild official.

Melio breaks the silence.

"Okay, we have to depend on each other from here on out. We will take a few missions that will take us about a month or three until we return; I'm thinking of taking a few missions towards the north sector. Then spend a few months there before heading back and then take a month off before we take assignments towards the south sector.

We need to create an unbreakable bond between us. I'll start by telling you everything I can do; if any of you have any questions, I'll answer them one at a time. However, I hope each and every one of you can do the same." Melio said to the girls.

Each of them nodded.

"My name is Melio Pendragon, the last Heir of the Pendragon clan. I have an unlimited supply of mana; I can fight with opponents one rank higher than me. When I activate a special skill, I can fight two ranks above my rank." Melio explains his abilities to the girls.

One by one, after explaining each ability, the girls are shocked down to their core.

After a few minutes, Melio was done explaining.

The girls sat there in disbelief.

Melio waited for the girls to ask questions, but they didn't.

'Weird.'

Hera stands up.

"My name is Hera; I have to abilities to heal, knowledge of potions, pills, medicine, plants, animals, and poisons. I have zero combat experience. I can only use my healing abilities three times because my mana is low.

My mother recently passed away, and now I am looking for an adventure. I want to become someone. Later, when I see my mother again, I'll have countless adventure stories to tell her." Hera said to everyone.

They were shocked by how easily she talked about herself. She seemed shy to speak at first.

Melio is happy to come up with this idea.

However, someone walked in.

Melio turned to look, and to his surprise.

It was Merlin.

"Hello, Girl, would you give me the honor to speak with Melio alone?" Merlin asked the girls.

All three girls looked at Melio.

Melio nodded; they got up and left the room.

"How did a little nobody get the big boss to show up?" Melio asked Merlin while staring straight into his eyes.

However, Merlin felt as if Melio was staring straight into his soul.

Merlin shook his head.

"The Eastern Sector send A-rank assassins after you. There's a hunter's bounty for your head for 100-Million. Now, you're here creating a guild with... Girls, whose life might be in danger because of you. Listen here, kid, avoid going anywhere near the eastern borders. Keep your mask on when in cities as much as you can. Try your best to avoid unnecessary trouble, keep your comrades safe. Do this, and any missions, you'll gain double in the rewards, money, gear, potions, also; we are starting a streaming service. Although I am asking you not to show yourself, this will provide more income for your guild: On TV you'll get the prime hour, from 8 pm-10 pm.

On the streaming website, you'll be promoted heavily by the guild. This is what H.A.G offers to your guild as long as your core members remain within your guild. What do you say, Melio?" Merlin said to Melio as he then relaxes on the sofa.

Melio slowly thinks about everything Merlin said.

"Okay, We'll post the website, letting people know what Missions rank we accept. We'll search for it first, then once found. We'll start the stream.

Now, about tv streaming, I am okay with everything you said. Will you provide the equipment?" Melio finally spoke.

There's something about Melio.

Merlin just put his finger on it.

After speaking for 20 minutes, Melio walks out of the room.

The girls walk up to him & asked what happened.

"He give me an SSS-rank storage ring for the guild, also spoke about streaming our missions. They'll support us as much as possible; we got some cool-looking camera androids." Melio pulls out a black Boo-looking android, four of them.

(Yes: Boo: The white ball ghost from Mario.)

The girls looked at them, and they agreed it looks cool, but they wished it looked cute.

Not only are they holding camera's their eyes are also cameras.
