Chapter 69 - 69: Recruitment Part 3 (2/2)

The first of these valuable students was student number nine, Xavier Von Elecid, a noble. He ranked sixteenth on the overall ranks and came from a well established high class family. He had medium length brown hair that compliment his dark green eyes well, on top of that his caramel toned skin gave him quite the exotic look.

Upon entering the room, he looked at Aron curiously as if studying him. Aron didn't mind this and proceeded to ask his questions. ”I didn't think a noble would be interested in joining a commoner's faction, what's your reason for wanting to join?” Aron's question was simple enough and Xavier showed a grin before he leaned back and prepared a response.

”Simple, you're strong. Not just you but those around you, anyone who doesn't see that is either blinded by pride or is an idiot. My gut tells me you'll achieve great things, I want a part of that.” Xavier's eyes carried determination and his bright smile showed his sincerity, one would think his decision was rash but he seemed to be the reckless who didn't care for such.

”I see, are you aware not all factions abide by the rules? Mine is such a faction. Morals have no place here.” The message in Aron's statement was clear but Xavier didn't seem deterred in the slightest. ”The path to greatness is a bloody one, I'm fully prepared for what's ahead,” Xavier replied without giving it much thought and shrugged.

”Alright, then lastly, what to do you bring to the table. In your words, what makes you stand out from the rest?” Xavier strokes his chin after hearing Aron's questions before patting his chest confidently. ”I'm a very talented spear and bow user, my marksman ship is almost second to none. Along with that, I'm quite flexible to situations, an all in one you could say, heh.” Once more Xavier's answer revealed his confidence and Aron gave him a nod before asking him to leave.

Xavier left the room with his hands behind his head while whistling, fully expressing his carefreeness.

The next valuable student was much to Aron's surprise a noble as well. Claudia Yesbern, a young woman also from a high class family.

Much like Xavier, she came into the room and almost immediately began scanning Aron and judging him in her mind whilst Aron did the same.

Like most high class noble women, Claudia was beautiful, extremely so. Long golden like hair that went up to her thighs, piercing emerald green eyes and a milky complexion. Her greatest feature perhaps was her buxom figure, unlike most noble women who had slender figures, hers was tone and very much curvy.

She sat elegantly and purposely made sure the slit on her dress that extended up to her properly showcased her leg. However, Aron paid no mind to it and proceeded to ask her the same questions he had asked Xavier.

”My reason for wanting to join is prestige, you have done something that's never been done before and even surpassed the heir house Lamarck, by my calculations joining your faction will breed the greatest results for me. I'm the seventh daughter in my family after all, if I do not make a name for myself only a political marriage awaits.” Her tone and manner of speech were as elegant as her outlook, from her answer one could easily deduce she was quite strong willed and confident as well.

”As for rules and morals, let us be honest, Sir Aron, no great people make it to very peak without breaking rules and abandoning their morals. In this life, I only care for myself because no one else will.” A bit of anger could be seen in her tone as she responded to this but Aron didn't pay it much mind and carried on to the last question.

”I'm not a combatant, my strong point is my mind. My genius is among the very top of my generation, I'm talented with runes and glyphs, I speak and write multiple languages and can engineer magical devices from scratch, and I've even built an airship when I was younger. My talents would be wasted being some trophy wife!” She expressed once more with clear anger in her tone but, once more, Aron didn't mind and he gave her a nod.

As she was leaving she sensually swayed her hips slowly from left to right as showing off even without her mind she was quite the asset. Jin, who stood beside Aron, couldn't help but sigh. ”How sad, a smart woman is the most dangerous. I prefer mine as dense as stones like damsels in distress.”

”Quite the preference you have..” Aron mocked Jin before asking him to send in the next student.
