93 Truth (1/2)

”Well…” Mark spoke after going reuniting with the team. ”That was stressful.”

The others could only sigh helplessly and agree to his words, they too felt the same upon talking with the contractors.

After Alice told them that they have to meet up with the contractors, they entered a a place where they will meet them. They were interviewed one by one by the contractors and was asked about their ideas for their new homes.

First of all, this 15 kilometers landmass was specifically reserved for the Genius Class. As for why is that so? The contractors simply answered: 'Because you're a genius.' Which doesn't make any sense but they were forced to accept it either way.

So far they have seen multiple abodes built in this place, but they were informed that majority of those abodes were empty, either their previous owner was demoted from the class or just dead. As abodes like this didn't take 'too much space', they didn't bother taking them down and instead built another one for the next batch.

They were then informed about the general span of their territories. Once they chosen a spot where to build their abode, their territory will start 75 miles in radius around their home, the same goes for everyone. Entering someone else's territory without consent would be punishable according to rules and regulations. So far, there are no cases of this happening since there is a clear sign if one was near someone else's territory. They home owners can give out some bypass talismans to their family and friends so that they would be provided entry without raising any alarms.

Next, they then asked to choose a spot for their own abodes. The contractors showed them a detailed map of the landmass and they were chose to pick where they wanted their new homes to be constructed. This is the part that took most of their time since aside from the location, the contractors also asked about other things such as the how big they wanted it to be, the general idea of what the abode would look like, the interior design, if they wanted servants and etc.

And after a long discussion, the team was finally done with the interview and were now resting at a temporary home for them since the construction of their new home would take some time.

”How would it take for them to build yours?” Paul asked after a while of silence.

”They said about a week or so.” Mark replied while shrugging.

”Lucky you.” Paul smacked his lips, ”Mine will take about a week and a half.”

”How about you girls? How long was their estimation.”

Ellen replied and said that it would take her to be built after a week just like Paul, Anne's the same and for Luna, five days were enough. After they replied, they then looked towards Raven curiously. Seeing this, he only smirked and said:

”Three days.”

The rest raised their eyebrows in surprise, and here they thought Luna would be the first one to have a home built for her but the construction of Raven's home was faster.

”Don't be so surprised.” Raven chuckled as he saw their confused expressions. ”I don't need my home to be high-class. Just a place to stay would be fine.”

Understanding came to them as soon as he said this. They figured that Raven must've asked for the bear minimum when it comes to his home, after all he was used to living in simplicity like always. What they didn't know is that the ideas they have in mind is very different from reality.

Shortly after, the team heard a knock on the door. Paul was the closest there so he simply reached out to open it. They saw Alice came in, she bowed in greetings and said:

”It seems that your negotiation with the contractors went well.” She smiled upon saying this. The team nodded their heads in agreement. ”Very well, I just came here to bid farewell to you. My job as a tour guide shall end here. Although there are some places that we haven't visited yet, I'm afraid that even with your status, it's still off limits. There will be someone who will introduce those places to you when times comes, so I'l just leave the task to that person. Before I leave, I wonder if Young Fairies and Young Masters have any questions left?”

When Alice finished speaking, there was a brief silence inside the room. This atmosphere was quite awkward for her but she endured it since it won't take long before she leaves, and that might be the last time that she will ever see them.

It was then that she saw someone raise their hand. She glanced at that person and saw that it was the unassuming guy who had been silent throughout their journey.
