Chapter 851: Thats Not the Name! (1/2)
”B-Brother, are you serious?” Vardin couldn't believe his ears, glancing at Diana to see that she also had the same expression on her face. They stared at each other, watching Krune's hands hang over their shoulders.
Krune laughed in response as he said, ”Of course. Someone's potential cannot be judged by their race. Among the humans and the many demon beasts, there are both the strong and the weak.”
Diana smiled wryly as she said in response, ”There isn't any race that likes us Silver Winged Mouses. I'm afraid we'll just drag you down.”
”Wasn't it the two of you that invited me? We share the same destination, so we might as well head there as a team.” Krune shrugged his shoulders. ”Besides, it's my choice to join you as a team. I don't care about the opinions of some idiots I've never seen before. Come, let's register ourselves at the guild now.”
”Thank you, brother.” Vardin smiled after hearing that, showing a grateful expression. This was the first time he and Diana weren't discriminated against because of their race. They followed Krune into the Mercenary Guild and headed straight to the counter.
”Hello, we would like to form a team.”
The attendant knew about Krune after his shocking performance in the mercenary tests, so he didn't say anything against him. Though, at the very moment he noticed the couple standing behind Krune, the attendant spoke without caring if his words would hurt them.
”Forming a team with Silver Winged Mouses will endanger your life. They are unreliable in battles. You may be strong, but you're only in the First Stage of the God Foundation Realm. Team missions are usually more dangerous than individual missions. You would be putting your life at risk leaving your backs to them.”
'Again with that crap. This is starting to piss me off.' Krune spoke without mincing his words, ”Just as I said before, even if I die, I wouldn't mind. I decide how to lead my life.”
”Fine, don't say I didn't warn you.” The attendant snorted in response. He wasn't patient enough to care about the lives of the mercenaries. If they survived, they earned the rewards of the missions. If they died, then it was their fault.
Mercenaries joined and died too often for him to care about. He was already being polite with his warning. He had already done his job. Beyond that was the fate the mercenaries wished to plunge into.
”State your names.”
”Krune.”
”Vardin.”
”Diana.”
”Your three have formed an F Rank Mercenary Team. Do you have a team name? Who among you shall be the team leader?” The attendant looked at Krune, deciding beforehand that he was going to be its leader.
Krune had defeated an opponent in the God Core Realm with a single hit, ignoring an entire realm between them. He was definitely a genius in terms of fighting. On top of that, his cultivation was only at First Stage God Foundation Realm when he achieved that feat.
On the other hand, even though the Silver Winged Mouses were in the Seventh and Eighth Stage of the God Foundation Realm, they were weaker than an average cultivator in their respective stages. So, it was given that the strongest among them, Krune, would be the leader.
Krune was annoyed by the attendant's behavior. But when he saw the couple back away from the task, he sighed and chose to become the leader. ”I'll be its leader. As for the name…”
Krune gave it some real thought this time. Unlike the incident with Little Cally, he wanted to give the name of his team some serious thought. He wanted to move and fight as a team for the time being.
Fighting as a team and fighting alone were different things. He wished to explore both forms and temper himself. That way, his cultivation wouldn't stagnate. Teaming up with someone who shared the same destination was difficult in the vast God Realm, and it was through a stroke of luck that the couple found him.
To appreciate the effort, he wished to give the team name some serious consideration.
”You can change it later if you want. Most teams change their team names once they move up to E Rank.” The attendant yawned as he uttered, feeling bored. He just wished someone else would give him work so that he could push them aside while using that as an excuse. Unfortunately for him, luck wasn't on his side.
Krune's eyes lit up soon after, having thought up of a really good name. ”We'll call ourselves the Winged Wisps.”
His naming sense had long surpassed the God Realm.
”Alright, Winged Wasps it is.” A cough from the back caused him to mishear it as the attendant noted it wrong, seeping his Godly Energy into a Nine Stars God Foundation Equipment that was shaped like an ink pad. The ink on it swished as it converged into a sphere, elongating into a rectangular slab to which three tokens were attached.
”It's Winged Wisps, not Winged Wasps.” Krune retorted in a hurry, lamenting as he saw the tokens form.
”Pfft, Winged Wasps. I like that name. More like winged…gasps.” It was unknown who was the first one that laughed, but the guild soon resounded with raucous laughter.
”Sorry…” Diana muttered under her breath, ashamed of herself.
