37 Test Begins! (1/2)
”That is the kid huh?” one member of the guild asked another while looking over at Leo. During this time of day, the guild was a little rowdy with many members who took a small break from their missions and just wanted to socialize.
The guild would give discounts to their members when it came to food and alcohol. Therefore, if they were not out traveling or out on work, you could usually find many of the members in the guild's building having fun.
This was the life of a commoner who showed enough promise as a warrior to earn money completing missions using a guild such as this one. If it was any of the major powers such as the alliance Leo was indirectly part of, you would never see such a scene unless it was for an extremely good occasion. For commoners though, they chose to reward themselves by spending more time with their friends drinking cheap alcohol and eating cheap food.
”Oh Gorg, it is great to see you! How did the mission go this time around?” suddenly everyone in the guild's hall could hear a guard shouting out to Gorg who had just arrived. The guard was clearly trying to warn everyone within the building about his arrival from his excited tone.
Gorg was one of the heroes of this guild. Several years ago, the guild took on an extremely big mission that had majority of its members taking part. If it was not for Gorg's contributions, they would have been wiped out.
During the mission, a bandit camp that was very well known had chosen to attack the caravans that their guild was responsible for protecting. Luckily, the leader of the bandits and Gorg were the strongest warriors on their sides and fought a drawn-out battle. However, Gorg was able to defeat the bandit's leader in a clean fight and the remainder escaped!
During the battle, Gorg used a large portion of his life energy to draw out his remaining potential to defeat the bandit's leader. This caused him to be unable to take on anymore big missions, but he was still praised by the guild and was even responsible for conducting newcomer's tests.
”Of course, thank you for such a warm greeting! After I conduct the tests for today, let me treat you to a round of food and drinks. We haven't caught up in a while.” Hearing Gorg in a good mood, the members of the guild became more relaxed. Though he was referred to as a hero, Gorg still had a temper that no one wanted to deal with.
Walking into the building, Gorg was being followed by his squad members as he had a big grin on his face. It seemed as if he had forgotten about what Leo had done earlier and was now with his friends again after a long mission. However, the grin on Gorg's face started to slightly change as he saw Leo sitting patiently on a chair within the hall.
”So, it is YOU?!” halting his steps, Gorg's face became quite a sight. He was a bald middle-aged man who had an eye patch over his left eye. Though he would look rather peaceful and like a hardened veteran when he was happy, right now he looked like an enraged killer eying its prey!
Recognizing Gorg right away, Leo felt that he would harm him in any way and would keep up an air in front of the rest of the guild. Instant regret flashed in Leo's mind as he fled backwards as Gorg's killing intent shot towards him and filled him with hopelessness.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
”If you are going to fight this boy, you should at least do it during the test.” Walking into the guild hall, an older man with a lofty presence appeared. If it was not for the tapping of his shoes, no one would realize that he was present. This lofty figure was the guild master and he was extremely formidable!
”Fine old man, but I will not be holding anything back. From what he had done to my daughter earlier, showing mercy is not an option!” Gorg not lowering his killing intent shot his gaze at the master of his guild. One was an enraged hero that wanted nothing more but to smite Leo while another was an old man who was as lofty as an expert that roamed the world freely.
”Do as you would like, but if you bully such a boy that seems to have quite a bit of potential, do not blame me for punishing you accordingly.” With a quick shine from the corner of his eyes, the older man replied to Gorg before exiting the hall.
