Chapter 123 - 120 : Codename (1/2)

At the sight of their comrades being thrown off the window by something mysterious or rather strange, they all knew who the one who did it is but none dared to voice out any word of complaint or blame.

Even the dazing burly man was awakened from the shattering of the window glass, he tilted his face for a second by after a few more seconds, his eyes shone, even more, it's like what happened now made him even more attracted to Delia.

Seconds passed but all that was heard was the guards and maids from outside yelling around to nurse Gulan, some black-clothed guards barged in the room and raised their weapons and stared at the two strangers with hostility.

If not for Lady Sinyu raising her hand and gesturing them to back off and resume their usual job, they would have attacked at any second.

”Please excuse the previous behavior of Gulan, he's still a beginner and a bit impulsive.”

”A bit impulsive? He was straight out bad mouthing us, he al--”

The ranting Delia was quickly Lucy who coldly said

”Enough! Lady Sinyu, we'll join your team but you'll have to kick that useless Guban or whatever his name is. As for the test, I don't think we need it anymore, or do we?....”

Lady Sinyu hesitated for a second, as she was pondering on whether kick Gulan or not, she remembered the fact that Delia was only a support class yet she did that, even if she was a mage or an attack-oriented class, it was enough to accept as they seemed to be reclusive people with abilities.

'It must be something like telekinesis but much stronger..... that's at least B-class even if it's normal telekinesis.... it's jackpot!'

”O, Of course, you two are accepted to the team. It's a C-class team and named 'Diamond Jades', I can guarantee that you'll never see Gulan when you're working.”

The first part was what Lucy wanted but once she heard the last part, she frowned and retorted immediately

”I don't like to repeat the same thing. Kick him and we'll join, he stays, we can always choose another team, after all, it's not like there is a shortage of them.”

Lady Sinyu tried to persuade them without having to resort to that, Gulan is a person she took since the beginning and despite his rotten attitude, he's a good person but between him and them, she didn't know who to choose.

After being stuck in such a dilemma for some time, her strong desire to earn more precious diamonds and after the previous display, she couldn't hold back her urges anymore. With a resolute look, she looked at Lucy and nodded confirming her approval.

”You to deal with some minor paperwork but it'll end shortly, please wait for a bit until my subordinate brings what's needed.”

Lady Sinyu explained then she dialed a person with her phone, the call didn't last a long time and after sending out some orders, the old lady resumed speaking to Lucy and answered all the questions that were asked.

....

About half an hour later, a maid came in with a stack of papers in her hands. From her look, she seemed to be rushing for some time and when she handed the papers to Lady Sinyu, she felt extreme relief.

Lucy came to know that to join a team, she can be tested by the IHO then join that specific team or just get tested and remain a solo-Hero. A solo-Hero, of course, can join temporary parties to raid the dungeons but they are usually not that effective as the party won't have too much coordination.

There is also an alternate method to enter a team and that's only if the person doesn't want to have any ties to the IHO, they can be tested by the leader of the team they to join in. As for the Rank, it depends on the result of the God Knowledge Stone, or so it was named by the citizens of Earth.

The God Knowledge Stone is a highly looted stone of one-time use, it can test people and see their Status Window and check if they have any special skills, bloodline or anything similar.

The drop rate of this stone is extremely high but that doesn't mean it should be wasted and that is precisely why that to get tested by the IHO, you have to pay a 50,000 dollar fee and even if you're a normal human without any powers, you'll not get the money back.

The basic of the Status Window is just like Astria except that the average power of normal people here is lower than the ones in Astria, their growth rate is also very limited.

On Astria, with sufficient training, people can reach high levels and stats ranging in the tens of thousands but Humans on Earth couldn't.

Lucy didn't probe much into it and only asked about the average strength and so on and it seems it's only 20 with the ones using the gym or the muscular having their Strength in the 30 or 35.

Leveling gave people special points that can be added to one of the stats the user desires but it's still not much. Lucy refused to get tested because if the people saw her stats, they would literally freeze from fear or awe. They were in the millions and it'll bring trouble instead of fame, even if it brings fame, it's not the kind of fame she's seeking.

”Miss Lucy, these are the papers needed, you just have to sign on the top left corner of this main one.”

Lady Sinyu pointed at a specific position in the paper full of words, Lucy wasn't in the mood to read the whole thing and even if she could understand most of the words, she was sure that the old woman wouldn't take advantage of her more than she already is.

Lucy didn't actually sign but she just wrote a blood symbol which had the two character MS referring to 'MoonStar'. As for Delia, she just put a seal with Holy Light, the seal shined a bit and had a unique luster. The two signs were magical and impressive which left the spectators yet again dumbfounded but Lady Sinyu had just received too many surprises so this one only left her speechless for a moment.

After confirming the signs, the old lady smiled and added

”The last thing to do is choose your codename, every Hero has a good name, you can also choose your own name but it's highly advised not to do that. Speaking of codenames, the other team members also have codenames.”

A simple glance from Sinyu urged the three remaining people to finally speak and introduce themselves.

”I'm Saku also known as Snow Peaks.”

Lucy's coincidentally landed on the two mountains peaks in her chest area, they were about to bulge from the clothes, even a simple movement makes them jiggle non-stop.
