Second World Chapter 392

"All of you?" Bluedaze looked at the crowd that was with Jack. They looked like a bunch of ragtag, especially since The Man's group was at the forefront.
"Why bother? Just join our guild," Dashrunner said. "Save you the hassle. Our guild is developing fast! Your future will be bright if you join us."
"Thank you for the offer, but I have a good feeling about this group. We will make it," Jack said.
"I wish you luck then," Bluedaze said. "Please spare some time to visit us. I will let our leader knows of your return and about you forming your guild."
"All right, once I am free, I will pay him a visit," Jack promised. Jeanny came back at the time and told them about what she had learned. They then went together to the counter where they could make the registration.
Not far away, a player came to another who was seemingly hiding behind a pillar.
"What do you learn?" This hiding person was Earmouth. He had recognized Jack from a distance and sent two of his people closer to eavesdrop on Jack's group. One was still following them, while the other came back to report. Earmouth did not dare to go near them himself as he was afraid that Jack will notice him.
"He said he will be forming a guild."
"A guild?!" Earmouth was startled. But then again, what else is their purpose coming to this place if not that? He had to let Scarface and Red Death knew of this. That guy was already a problem alone. If his guild could prosper, it would cause them more headaches in the future.
On the Guilds Association counter, the three supposed leaders, Jack, John, and Jeanny were listening to the staff's explanation, while the rest were standing at the back. Unbeknownst to them, their position had instead created a fence that prevented Earmouth's spy to approach.
The spy was grumbling in his mind. Didn't they know they do not need these many persons to register? One needed at least thirty members to form a guild but it was not necessary to have all of them presented here. They simply needed those thirty to be on standby to receive an invitation message and simply click accept.
Jack and the rest actually knew about this, but everyone still chose to come as they were all rather looking forward to forming this guild.

"So, the last thing I need now was a twenty gold fee and the name of your guild," the staff at the counter told Jack, Jeanny, and John.
"Twenty? Wasn't it ten the last time?" Jack protested.
"Twenty is the new fee," the staff informed nonchalantly.
"Guess there is also inflation in this world," John commented.
"That's right, you should not treat the price in the shops as fixed. Things might get more expensive now that more of you outworlders appeared and increased the acquisition of coins from the wilderness," Peniel explained.
"I don't like this. It reminded me of the headache from trying to follow our real world's finance," Jack complained.
"It is what it is," John said. "Now go ahead and pay."
"The hell, why is it me? Aren't we supposed to share this between the three of us?"
"You are the wealthiest here. Don't lie, Peniel told me how many gold coins you have."
"You did?" Jack asked Peniel.
"I didn't," Peniel replied.
Jack rolled his eyes at John and grumbled, "you lying son of a b*tch."
"But I still know you are the wealthiest," John said.
"Come on, it was just gold coins. Here, I will give ten gold coins," Jeanny took the initiative to stop the discourse.
Jack held her hands. "It's okay," Jack said, then took out twenty gold coins and gave them to the counter staff.
Jeanny tried to insist, "I'm fine really. As you said, this is three of us together. It won't be right if you fork out all of the registration fees. Here, take my coins."
Jack waved him away. "Don't worry about it. This amount is nothing to me."
John, on the other hand, was just wearing a smug smile without any bad feeling at all.
"Now, all that left is the guild name. What will it be?" The staff asked.
The three of them were silent for a long time. That's right, they haven't talked about a name. They looked at each other and had wry smiles. They had been so passionate about this that they forgot to think up a name.
"It's just a name, Just make one up," John said.
"Me?" Jack asked.
"I have no idea. I leave the naming to you," Jeanny said.
"Yeah, you are the one that paid the registration fee, so you have the right to decide the name," John added.

More like you didn't want the bother to think one up, Jack gave John a side-eye.
Jack gave the matter a brief thought, he then asked the staff, "How do I input the name?"
"Just type it here," the staff replied as something like a keyboard panel appeared on the desk's surface.
Jack then went ahead and typed the name. After he was done, the staff looked at it for a bit, pressed something, and then said, "all right. Now your guild, Number One Legends, is formally registered."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Both John and Jeanny yelled out, then asked the counter staff, "what's the guild's name again?"
"Number One Legends," Jack was the one who answered them.
"What kind of name is that?" Jeanny uttered.
"Yeah, no class at all!" John added, then to the staff he asked, "can we change the name?"
Jack was speechless, what was that about them saying he had the right to decide the guild's name?
"You can change the name, since I have not input it into the main system. But still, I will need to charge you 3 gold coins for the change. Do you confirm to change?"
"3 gold coins, why so expensive just for a simple change?" John complained, he then turned to Jack.
"Hey, if you want to change, you pay for it. I'm not spending more coins," Jack said before the guy asked.
"I will pay," Jeanny said and handed the coins.
"All right. Please re-input the name again." The keyboard panel appeared again.
"I'll do it," John took initiative now. He did some typing then uttered, "done!"
Before the staff press anything, Jeanny asked first. "What was written there?"
The staff read the words out, "he typed, Extreme Undying Reaching After Heaven."
"That's even worse!" Jeanny called out.
"Yeah, it's too long," Jack commented. "You should shorten it. People will have a problem calling our guild's name if it's too long."
"That's not the problem!" Jeanny uttered, then to the staff she said, "please cancel that. You've not yet pressed enter, right? I don't need to pay another 3 gold coins, do I?"
The staff sighed, "you don't need to… Okay, I've erased it. Please, put the correct one this time."
As Jeanny was about to type. John said, "perhaps you should tell us first the name you want to put in?"
Jeanny looked at them and said, "Everlasting Rose."
"What the hell, no!"
"For Heaven's sake, stop!"
Both Jack and John reacted almost the same despite uttering different objection words. Jack added, "sister, that is too feminine. I can guarantee you if you use that name, we are going to lose almost half of our members immediately. The Man there is surely not gonna stay inside a guild with such a name."
"Then what do you suggest?" Jeanny asked, she was glum.
Jack thought for a bit before saying, "try to think of the first thing that comes into your mind."
"The hell? Are you going to try that stupid trick by combining three words that came into each of our minds again?" John asked.
"It worked the last time, didn't it?" Jack countered.
"You people are entertaining," Peniel commented with a chuckle as she perched on top of Jack's head.
"Hey, if you not gonna help, please don't ridicule," Jack told her.
"What's the matter, why take so long?" Bowler came by and asked.
"Nothing. Please wait over there. We are discussing something," John told him.
Bowler gave him an irritated look but he still went away.
"Why chased him away? Perhaps he can give a good idea for a name," Jack said.
"I seriously doubt that," John said. "And too many opinions and ideas will just end up muddle things up. No, we three have to decide by ourselves."
"Ahem," they heard the staff made a sound and said, "can you people hurry up, please? I still have other things to do…?"
John thought for a bit before finally saying, "all right, let's try using your stupid trick. Each of us picks one word from the name we have given, then we combined them and see. I go first, Heaven."
"Um, legends?" Jack said.
"Everlasting then," Jeanny uttered. "If I said rose, you guys will say it's too feminine again."
After hearing them, John said, "Everlasting Heavenly Legends. Hm… I guess it's acceptable."
"It's cool! Go for it!" Jack exclaimed.
