Lea opened the door for me and I entered the guild, I saw everyone pacing back and forth before finally looking at me.

"You're back!" Cynthia pounced on me, I could only catch her

"I'm back" I caught her and patted her head

"Did you really kill Margaret the witch?" Rick asked me

"Yeah" I could only say yes

"Nice!" Rick fist pumped and started laughing while drinking beer

"What's gotten into him?" I asked

"Well, killing Margaret is big... I think Rick is just happy that we have another formidable ally" Lea replied to my question

"....what...?! YOU! ARE YOU THE NEWBIE?!" from out of the shadows a green haired glasses beauty popped up and inspected me

"Yes" I was surprised and could only utter

"Haah..haah...haaah COME WITH ME!" She started breathing heavily before pulling me to God know's where

"Liliana! what are you doing with Zeno?!" Lea tried to run after us but this woman, Liliana, slammed the door and locked it before dragging me to her room in the women's dormitory

It all happened so fast that I only processed everything when she locked the door to her room

"Hehe... we're all alone now..." Liliana started taking off her top and was now wearing a shirt

"Hey... what are you doing?!" I thought rape towards men was impossible but this...

"I'm preparing~" she said those before putting on a... lab coat?

"What?" I was confused

"You think you can fool the others but not my eyes! you see my little golem, my eyes can distinguish something that is alive and something that is not~ you exude life force but it is similar to that of a golem so... are you a golem?" She sat in a chair and asked

"No, I'm human" Technically a human, I looked around for an escape route.

Her room was messy, books piled up everywhere... even the windows were covered by books

"I know you are a golem!"

"Isn't that kinda rude? I'm out of here whether you like it or not" I unsheathed Azazel and broke her door

"NO! please I beg you! stay!" She pleaded and held on to my foot

"Why would I do that?" I asked

"Help a friend in need?"

"I barely know you"

"I am Liliana Armstrong, age 21, single, I loved golems since birth and have always strived to create one that actually helps humans"

"Nice to meet you, I'll be going now"

"NUUUU" She kept holding on to my foot, I was ready to drag her around but... I can't, damn it.

"...Fine... what do you want?"

"I just want to open you up, see how you work... hehe..." I'm starting to regret my decision

I sat on a chair that she gave me but I refused to let her touch me

"So... you say you're human but I really can't see the life force a normal human exudes coming from you... you're just exuding half of it"

"So what does that mean?"

"A golem, a human is exploding with life force, an undead doesn't have any life force whatsoever but what exists in between those two is a golem or as I like to call it 'Artificial human'"

"So I'm this 'Artificial human'" She's not that far from the truth

"Yes"

"But if I remember correctly, Golems only follow a specific rule or command"

"Yes... it's weird, how can you answer my questions, how can you think?"

"Are you seriously convinced that I'm a golem?"

"I trust my eyes"

"Fine, I'll answer your question. I was once a man but I was kidnapped by a crazed lunatic, he yanked out my brain and connected it to this body that you are now seeing. I managed to escape him and run away but before I knew it I was already here"

"That makes sense! but if I think about it properly... it's impossible to attach a human brain to a huge chunk of rock and metal that operates on mana... hey, could you elaborate... Zeno?"

While she was distracted by her thoughts, I escaped and returned to the guild hall. Cynthia missed me, I at least have to say hi

"What happened to Liliana?" Lea asked me

"She... asked some stuff before I ditched her"

"Seriously... that Liliana, please forgive her"

"What's with her and Golems?"

"Oh, that, Liliana came from a very rich family that made magical weapons... she was smart and beautiful however she was kicked out of her own family when she said that she wanted to study golems instead of making weapons"

"Really?"

"Yes, she stumbled here and there before she finally made it here. She's a strong earth mage which makes her one of the strongest members of Aegis"

After my small talk with Lea, I went to the table where Cynthia was quietly drinking her wine

"I'm sorry about earlier" I sat beside Cynthia and spoke

"It's fine, as long as you're okay" She smiled

"How have you been"

"I've been bored since you left"

"Then why don't we go out tomorrow, oh yeah, here" I gave her the clothe that I bought from Asgard

"A dress? thanks!" She happily received the dress

"Then tomorrow, 10 am, let's meet up here"

"Okay!"

I smiled and walked away, I was worried about our ship so I went there

Guardians 2 and 3 were patrolling around while Guardians 4 and 5 were standing guard at the ship, Guardian 1 was standing guard inside the ship

I opened the door and to my surprise... Dr.Alissa was out of her pod, isn't this a bit too early?

"Zeno?" Dr.Alissa looked at me with surprise

"Dr.Alissa..."

"ZENO!" She ran towards me and gave me a bear hug, that silky red hair, her slim and body... it's no mistake, this is Dr.Alissa

"Guardian 1, why didn't you tell me that Zeno was here?!" Dr.Alissa looked at the Guardian 1 silently standing at the door

"Apologies doctor but you didn't ask" Guardian 1 replied

"Smart ass" Dr.Alissa uttered those words

"Are you sure you should be up and walking?" I was worried, she just recovered

"Yeah don't worry" Alissa flexed her arm

"Hey, isn't it about time for your maintenance?" Dr.Alissa pushed me to a seat

I took off my helm and robes, Dr.Alissa helped me with DK
