"It's fine. I am aware." Narukami nodded and the woman didn't expect such developments.

"Hold on, does that mean I'll be under his command? I don't want that!" The woman quickly said before everything too late, she didn't want someone ordering her like a dog.

"Don't be foolish, Egasaki. Nothing in the world is free. You want to live yet don't want anything as its downside? A beautiful world you lived in, huh? Sorry to disappoint you but from today on, things will change." 

Narukami's tone appeared to be flat yet each word he said was akin to bullets. Hurting her without a wound.

Staying calm, in response to his rude words, "So what? Everything always goes my way. You are only a rank two sorcerer. I can't trust someone weaker than me. Just to let you know, I received private training from my grandpa who was once a rank four sorcerer.

My grandpa is Egasaki Nirohito. I don't even know you, just because you're a captain of a squad. Don't get ahead of yourself as this place is only a small branch." She scoffed.

Egasaki Nirohito? That name rings a bell, Narukami recalled after hearing that familiar name.

"Egasaki Nirohito? You're his granddaughter? When I think of it. Your name is similar to grandmaster. Is he perhaps your brother?" Chie's breath became heavy.

Egasaki simply nodded and at the same time.

"Who's that?" Asahi asked cluelessly.

"Egasaki Nirohito, he is titled Hero of Thousand Sun. He once saved the current HQ's grandmaster in exchange for his career as a sorcerer; he was crippled after saving the grandmaster.

About twenty-five years ago, when they raided a city that was destroyed by Anomalies, bringing more than three hundred sorcerers. The situation soon became dire and desperate. 

Only he and the grandmaster still have the will to survive and next. 

Well, I don't quite remember what happened next, let's just skip a few events and explain how he got his title. With the remaining sorcerers, low with morale, he managed to increase it and thus became their hope, like the sun.

With low food and supplies, they managed to survive for two weeks in a city full of Anomalies and none of the remaining sorcerers died.

In two weeks, he was like a sun giving them hope and energy to survive. From that, he became the sun of each people in their hearts, a role model and that role model is now inspiring thousands of sorcerers, thus giving him the title." Ryu explained the background of Egasaki Nirohito in detail.

After he talked, Egasaki Higuchi crossed her arm as she emitted an air of authority

"Furthermore, I have no intention to work with a rude brat."

Referring to him, Ryu said casually, "my name's Ryu by the way, not brat."

Ryu's words were ignored by Narukami.

"Then enjoy your death. I'm kind enough to give my time and words yet you let it all go. It is a pity to let go of a person with a unique element." There was an evident disappointment in Narukami's voice yet hardly discernible as his usual flat voice kind of enveloped the disappointment.

Narukami indirectly told Egasaki that she was unique.

Narukami turned his body and the others followed, Asahi was hesitant and slightly dissatisfied because his request couldn't be fulfilled.

His gaze was on her before he looked away, following Narukami.

Suddenly, he heard a whisper and it was coming from Ryu with a smile, 'don't worry."

Either he said that to console him or just to make him feel better, he appreciated his doing.

But that didn't make him better as the woman was going to die. Just as he wanted to say something.

"Very well."

A mature yet prideful voice entered his ears from behind. Following which was a complete silence that they could hear footsteps that lasted for a few seconds. The lobby only had less than fifteen people including the employees on the other desks.

The usually crowded lobby became silent as most sorcerers protectinh the city from Anomalies that tried to devour every human being.

The silence of this place gave Narukami a somewhat strange feeling. It gave him a feeling similar to transcending to another world.

As though a school that always has voices and as night came, it became eerily silent that you felt like in another world.

Narukami turned around after he heard her and the rest followed.

Egasaki then filled the blank section of the form with Narukami's name before giving it to Chie.

Chie examined it if there was a mistake before nodding after knowing there was none and before she did that, she calmed her emotions in an unnoticeable manner. Meeting a descendant of a hero excited her.

"Congratulations and welcome to the organization. The company will provide you with weapons and materials.

You are also given a badge, a formal suit, and a special item that will help you in dire situations."

Some Anomaly cases involve the police and sometimes they need the organization's help.

All Beyond lent their hand to assist them. Although not supported by the government, the police department knew what All Beyond capable of and what their purpose was.

With the same goal, which was to protect citizens and maintain peace. The police department was grateful for such an organization willing to help. 

There were times when an Anomaly case was discovered by the police. The latter would send a request and as soon as the sorcerer who received the mission arrived at the scene, it must show this badge.

"Your badge and other items will be delivered to you in a week. Thank you for working with us." Chie gave the woman a bow.

"I may not like being under someone's command but death is equivalent to the end of everything. It's not like I'm interested in your words, it's just that I'm not that desperate to see the other side.

I'm not the type to hold grudges too, so I'll forget everything that brat just said." Egasaki said as she looked at Narukami with an unpleasant look.

"Tsundere," Ryu said like it was nothing and loudly too.

Knowing that everything came to light, the guards dispersed.

"Who are you calling tsundere?" Her eyes narrowed in anger as she gritted her teeth. She picked something from her jacket's inner pocket. It was a paper inscribed with a Japanese kanji of 'purity' in black ink.

Using her right hand, she threw it at him and the paper traveled in the air like a bullet.

In the process, a flame could be seen, it was a mysterious flame as the color was blue and ignited out of the blue on the edge of the paper.

When the flame burnt half the paper and reached the kanji symbol, it let out a red glow.

"Crap!" Ryu's eyes constricted upon being thrown by a dangerous talisman and about to hit him. He could tell how dangerous it was as the quality of spiritual energy in it was stronger than him!

Ryu quickly raised his arm to his shoulder as he extended it. Forming a barrier in a dome shape, protecting Asahi, Narukami, and Aya.

In a glimpse, one can see that the paper slightly puffed before blowing up.

Their figures were covered in thick, gray smoke as the smell of gunpowder was lingering in the air.

Ryu dispersed his barrier as he coughed, covering his mouth.

"Are you out of your mind? Luckily, there are only us!"

Egasaki let out a cold and arrogant, "Hmph!" Before walking away, exited the building. Narukami and the gang watched her back as her figure was obscured by the door of the entrance.

Ryu was extremely pissed about what just happen and wanted to scold her yet he found it useless to say anything towards a gal like her.

He exuded a mouthful of air. 

"Narukami, are you seriously going to take her as our member?" Ryu asked in a bit of a displeased tone.

"Don't worry. She'll probably fall in love with you within the next few months. A week if not."

"What?"
