Arnold took the system's advice and decided to take some time before choosing a path. After all it was the first time he had been offered to make such a choice, he couldn't risk making a choice in haste and then regret about it later. As He closed the interface, he saw the vice president walking towards him.

"That was quite a wonderful fight." He said, "as promised, we'll take care of your sister and there's no need to move her out of the hospital."

"Thank you sir." Arnold replied.

"I'd like to discuss a few more things with you, but it looks like you'll be needing some clothes first."

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Arnold looked down to see that his shirt was torn from the places where Miguel had managed to hit him with his sword. Arnold cursed Miguel under his breath. This was the only shirt he owned and now it has been destroyed. What the hell is he supposed to wear next time when he meets Nicole.

"Um... that would be a problem. I don't have a second set of clothes." Arnold blurted out and vice president started laughing.

"Don't worry kid, the guild has got it all covered. Alice could you show him the way to the armoury?," He then turned towards Arnold and continued, "There are some sponsored cloths there, you can have them. I'll be in my office, come there once you're done and we'll have a chat."

The vice president then turned and left without saying another word to anyone else.

After she was done with healing Miguel's injuries, Alice approached Arnold.

"Let's go." she said.

"Lead the way." He replied.

"So since when did you have ice affinity?" Alice asked casually.

"For quite some time."

"Then why were doing a porter's job, if I may ask?"

"Because my abilities weren't strong enough..."

"And suddenly they are strong?"

"Not suddenly. I used to practice everyday."

After they had reached the guild's armory, Alice left Arnold inside so that he could change, and waited outside while he changed. She wanted to keep quite and wait for Arnold but she couldn't. Even if his abilities weren't super strong, ice abilities were rare and this made him special. No wonder her dad gave him a second chance against Miguel.

She wanted to know more about the abilities and hence kept asking questions and Arnold kept lying, to protect his secret.

"Why did you-"

She was about to ask yet another question but before she could finish, Arnold walked out of the armoury, sporting a full sleeve black T-shirt having neon green stripes on the sleeves, the words 'Flying Swords' were printed on the back with the same neon green stripes. The shirt was perfectly hugging his new muscles even though he didn't have much.

Arnold snapped his fingers in front if Alice's eyes.

"You there?" he asked.

"Yeah, you look good." She replied, her cheeks had a reddish glow in them.

"Thanks but that's not what I asked." Arnold scratched the back of his head, "I asked if you could show me where the Vice President's office was."

Realising what just happened, she got even more flustered and quickly turned around. "Um... yeah, j-just follow me."

Arnold did what he was told to and they soon reached John's office. The door of the office opened, and Arnold saw the vice president sitting on the sofa with crossed legs, staring at him faintly. Arnold could not help but hold his breath. The room was filled with the vice president's overwhelming aura.

"Come, sit." John offered Arnold a seat, "Thank you Alice, you can leave now. I'll like to talk with Mr Ling alone, if you don't mind."

"No problem sir, I'll be on my way." Alice replied and walked out of the room, closing the doors behind her.

"I won't waste our time, so allow me cut to the chase." He cleared his throat before speaking again, "I'm amazed by your performance, Mr Ling, and I'll like you to join our guild not as a porter but as a warrior. The terms and condition for it are written in this contract here. Feel free to read through it and ask any questions you have." He said, tossing a folder towards Arnold.

Arnold picked up the contract and schemed through it. It was actually a great contact, he would be paid around 8000 modern dollars per week, he'll be given a new place to live and the guild will take care of his daily necessities as well! All he had to do was to participate in at least 4 dungeons runs in a week and practice to improve his abilities under the guidance of the vice president himself. In short, the vice president wanted to make him his prodigy and an asset to the guild! It was like a dream come true for someone like Arnold.

"Is this for real?" He looked at John who smiles and nodded.

"The pay and other benefits would increase as your level and rank increases. If you sign the contract, we'll have to use the PRSD once again and determine your power levels before we can proceed with the training and other stuff. So do you accept the new contract?"

"Thank you for the opportunity." Arnold said and signed the contract.

"Welcome aboard!" John extended his hand out and gave him a handshake.
