Silence… that is what is surrounding Ren and Liam.

The other students who watched the fight, couldn't believe what they have witnessed.

Although everyone knew that Ren would win the match, they didn't think that they would see Liam hold his own for a while against him.

Turning around facing Liam, Ren couldn't help but look at Liam with respect.

'He's definitely someone that I want to stay aquatinted with in the future' He will become important I can feel it'

"Hey Liam, good job. You really had me against ropes, if I didn't get a new skill I dont think It would of turned out like that"

"Thank you, it sucks losing but I'm just glad that I was able to do a decent performance"

‘He is someone I need to reach, I felt our difference as of now but one day I will pass him’ I clench my first with my resolve building.

Footsteps are coming up behind them

"Decent?" Tanner says giving a pat on Liam's back, "If you were decent then I was bad haha"

"Weakl- Liam, I have to say you really shocked me"

'You were gonna say weakling weren't you' I think giving him a cold stare

Noticing my gaze

"…what?" He asks confused

"Your so dumb sometimes Shin" Ava says while covering her face with her hand

Isabella intervenes "Anyways, I think we have to talk about something"

Suddenly everyone's curiosity peaks in interest

"But now isn't a good time, so we should meet up after school, how about the normal?"

"Sounds good" Natasha replies

Me and Tanner make a confused look around, and make eye contact knowing we don't know where the hell they are talking about.

"What the normal?" Tanner asks

"Oh that's right, in the city, we always go to a cafe to talk or just hangout it's called Bows and Joes, has a big sign right past the smithery can't miss it"

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Okay then we will go after school" Ren says packing up

"Ok"

——————

After school…

"Hey Tanner!" I shout seeing him walking, "do you want to head to the place? Let's go together"

"Okay, I actually don't know where they are talking about so let's be lost together!"

"Real positive attitude"

As me and Tanner are walking we begin to talk about Integra and the concept behind it

"Hey Liam, I've been wondering, why do you really want to create Integra? There's go to be more then Just training to be stronger"

"Yes and no" I say shaking my head, "it's true that I want to get stronger, but I also want to create a group of people who get strong as well, so we can overcome anything as a group."

"I guess that makes sense but we are missing a lot of things for a complete group"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of everything, speaking of in the headquarters you said you Jane for us, is there a space so we can set up an Apothecary?"

"An apothecary? Why do you ask?"

"Cause after today I'm sure we will need one" I say smiling

"Well it doesn't have one now, but I think we can get one"

"Good, that's all I needed to hear"

Looking at Liam, Tanner can't help but think 'this guy truly is strange'

"Ah Tanner here we are"

Upon arriving at "Bows and Joes" we enter and already see everyone else at a table waiting for us, me and Tanner go towards them waving and take our seats.

Ren is the first to ask "So Isabella what do you want to talk about?"

"Actually it's not me but Liam who needs to talk"

"Liam?" Shin asks intrigued

"Are you sure it's okay Isabella? These guys are fine?"

"Of course Liam I wouldn't of mention it if I didn't think so."

"Bella why do I think you did something annoying?" Natasha says with a stare

"Trust me this is pretty good"

Ava says while resting her head on her arms "Okay Liam we're listening"

"Okay, so basically.. I want you five to join me and Tanner in our group, we call it Integra and it is with the intent to get stronger"

"Get stronger? But we can just do that at our guild" Shin says annoyed

"I know you guys all have the resources for it, but you guys don't have the freedom to move as you please. You guys can think you do but you all know every-time you step foot in your guild or association you are all being watched and monitored to not do anything too dangerous. What I am proposing is a place where we can move freely, albeit dangerous, we can't stay caged up like birds waiting for someone to set us free, we need to set ourselves free"

After I ended

"Damn that was a hell of a speech" Ren says lost in thought

Tanner jumps in "we already found a place that we can do the work, and we already talked about doing dungeon raids, and guild missions that are always on the guild boards"

When they heard guild missions everyone looked up shocked,

"Wait, Tanner you mean the Assassination and infiltration missions?" Ren asks

I jump in "Yes he does, we will accept those missions, and get real world training, not fake training in a simulator but life or death"

Ava is the first to voice her concerns "I don't know guys, and I'm not really a fighter so it doesn't sound good to me"

'I knew this would happen'

"Ava, I know you like to make potions and items to save people, your a healer in heart. So in our facility if you wished to accept, we would give you your one apothecary to make potions"

When she heard apothecary her face lit up

"A-apothecary for me?"

"Yes and you can do whatever your heart wants you to do"

"Okay…"

"Dumbass" shin says rolling his eyes looking at Ava

Ava glaring back "Shut up you brain dead idiot"

"Both of you shut up, are you fucking children?" Ren says instantly stopping them "anyways, I won't lie it is interesting, but can you guarantee we won't be caught?"

"It all depends on you guys, my parents aren't active around me so I'm fine, Tanners already told his dad he is leaving the guild to follow me for his strength, but I know you guys can't leave nor want to since your the heirs"

"Yeah" Natasha agrees "so basically you want us to lie to our parents about what we are doing?"

"Basically yes" I nod my head "so are you guys in to get stronger? Or no"

"You already know my answer" Isabella is the first to respond

"I'm in too! I get my own apothecary after all!"

“If dumbass is going then I will go as well, it sounds fun"

'Okay Isabella, Ava and shin have agreed now we just need the other two"

"Honestly I don't know, with my dad it's hard" Natasha says torn

"Nat, trust me we will be fine" Isabella says reassuring her

"Do you really trust Liam?"

"With my life"

"Fine I'm in" Natasha finally agrees to Isabellas pleas

"Well, if all you are in, I guess I will join"

'Boom got them' I thought to myself

"Leader, what is next" Tanner says smirking at me

Everyone else starts staring at me

'This is gonna be such a pain'

"Okay let's go see the Integra headquarters Tanner found!"

With this, the recruitment was successful.
