Chapter 68 - War is Looming (2/2)

”Hold on…Huh? How did you know?” Alice was once again baffled by the young man's actions. Will shrugged his shoulders, ”Its an otaku thing.”

”What's an ota-” Before she could finish she was cut off by Will, ”We need to go back to class, we have wasted quite a bit of time here.”

Will put his arms around her slender waist and jumped from the roof. Alice screamed her lungs out but it did her no good. By the time Will landed the mist had cleared, and it was as if nothing had happened on the roof at all.

…

”Just to make sure I understand everything, let me confirm a few details.”

”Sure.”

”You are Peerless Dao Master.”

”Yup.”

”And you are creating a guild.”

”Correct.

”You are recruiting me into said guild.”

”Bingo.”

”Which is why you gave me that Dan, to make me stronger.”

”Exactamundo.”

”I have one more question…”

”Shoot.”

”Why me?”

After school Will and Alice went to a restaurant to have a meal. Suffice to say that Alice 2.0 had caused quite the shock-waves at school. Thanks to the existence of the system there were many ways of confirming someone's identity. Once it was confirmed that it really was Alice, a medical check-up was done. Alice requested to keep the details of her metamorphosis private, causing rumors of her change to spread like wildfire around the school. Her family was contacted and she was free to go after the process was done. Her brother was on his way, and Will still had information to give her thus they decided to have an outing together. After making sure that sound could not leak and surrounding their table with mist, Will put everything in a nutshell.

At first, Alice wanted to laugh at him. So all Will had to do was call her using the system. He asked for her user name and made the call. When the system told her that she was receiving a call from Peerless Dao Master Alice glanced at Will like she was looking at a ghost. It took a few minutes and hundreds of questions to finally reach the point they were at now. Will patiently answered all of her questions while ordering smoothies.

”I chose you because I like your personality.”

Alice slumped in her seat powerless. Personality? In this day and age where talent and power was everything, he decided to use personality as his criteria?

Will slurped the last of his smoothly, ”Oh and you were someone who already kinda knew me so I don't have to worry about getting along with you. Two birds with one stone. Epic right?”

'No! Not epic! Not epic at all!'

”Um, Lord Peerless-”

”Alice like I told you a thousand times Will is fine.””

”Right…Will. I am sure there are millions that are more qualified than I am. Surely you could do better? Someone like me is not worthy.”

Will laughed at her statement. ”That's cute. Let me tell you something. You are worthy, and the only reason that should validate that for you is that it's because I say so. In this world strength is justice”

Alice blushed when Will called her cute, were she another girl she would have completely missed his next words. ”Thank you, L-…Will, thank you.” After blushing, she started crying tears of joy. Will merely sat there and ate the fries in front of him. He had no intention of stopping her, rather a serious matter of epic proportions was plaguing his mind.

'What do I call my guild? The Dao Masters? The Empyrean Warriors? Sky Charterers? It has to be a really cool chuuni name, and I have no clue what to use. Over a thousand minds and no good idea. Useless system.'

After Alice was done crying Will asked her about the requirements of creating a guild and how one goes about it. Alice was completely unabated by Will's response or rather lack thereof, and answered him as best as she could.

”Right, before anything else, you need a Guild Token, these are extremely difficult to get. One can get one by doing a mass raid on a high-level dungeon and hope to get one, or Buying. It is also an option. It is the most common method used but they are extremely expensive. I will do some research as to how we will-”

With a flick of Will's hand, a gold coin with the words GUILD inscribed in the middle landed on the table. As the coin stabilized on the table Will yawned, ”And then?”

Alice swallowed her words and marveled at the sight. She wanted to geek out about seeing a Guild Token but looking at Will's face now was clearly not the time.

”Ehem, the next step is to have a minimum of 3 users. Do you have other users under you?”

”Yup.” Will nodded.

”Well, it would be best if they were here.” Will put his hand on his chin as he started pondering on their next course of action.

After coming to a conclusion in his mind, Will grinned and clapped his hands.”Alright Alice, time to meet your fellow guild-mate!”
