There were many people in a crowded coffee shop. This place was not very luxurious but was well known for its ambiance. Many people were chit-chatting with their drinks.

Brandon and Carter sat opposite each other on a table, a window on the side of them. The wooden table and chairs were designed to depict a medieval setting. The entire place was created this way.

A waiter dressed in a white shirt and black skirt came to their table. She was very attractive.

Brandon was taken away by her beauty, so much so that there was an awkward silence because no one had said anything for a few moments.

“Uh, what is it you would like to have today?”

The waiter broke the silence and was ready to take the order on her notepad.

Brandon came back to his senses

“Yes, uh, I’ll just have a frappuccino”

Brandon glanced over at Carter.

“I’ll have a black coffee, thank you”

The waitress noted the order and walked away.

Brandon leaned over the table while looking at Carter, his face was glowing with joy.

“I can't believe it! somebody will actually join our guild !”

“I already told y-”

A young man with curly long black hair approached the table. He was wearing a light blue shirt and black pants. He looked over at Carter and smiled.

Carter realized who this was, they shook hands.

The young man then glanced over at Brandon.

“Hello, good to meet you”

Brandon’s face was lit up, he looked very excited. He slammed his fist on the table and raised his voice.

“So you are joining our guild !”

Carter immediately locked eyes with Brandon and got up from his seat. He put his arm around Brandon’s shoulder tightly and hit his back harder than necessary.

“Ouchh, that hurt !”

Carter glanced over the young man and gave a huge smile.

“Don't worry about this lad, why don’t you order a drink, Gray?”

The young man was Gray, his appearance had changed since he had become a hunter. He looked more healthy and his body filled his clothes.

The waiter brought Brandon and Carter drinks, Gray ordered a cold coffee.

He then began speaking to Brandon and Carter after the waiter left.

“So, let's get right to the point?”

Gray wanted to form a raid team with Brandon and Carter. However, there were several things to be discussed before that.

Brandon was ecstatic, he couldn't control his excitement and began speaking.

“Yes! So our guild ha-”

Carter cut Brandon off.

“Hey hey, didn't I tell you already that he isn't joining? Who would join your guild? Bahahaha”

Carter laughed heavily.

Brandon’s face immediately changed expression, he now looked extremely down. The atmosphere turned gloomy.

Carter took notice and grabbed his phone off the table. He then placed the phone in the center of the table against a decoration so everyone could see. On the screen was a well-dressed man with red hair. It was Sung Ho.

Sung Ho was speaking.

“The mana crystals can be used in this way to create equipment for safety…”

“I’d like to mention that we will export this device around the world, of course, we will work to reduce….’

“We hope that this information will aid hunters around the world to…”

“In light of recent developments, we are working diligently to support hunters…”

“Thank you for listening, as always, we are here to support you and remain optimistic about the future of this country”

The live news shifted to a reporter

“That was mister Sung Ho the head of the United States branch of the Hunters Association and this was brought to you by..”

“Uhm” Brandon said in a low voice

Advertisements started playing.

Grays eyes went wide, this was really something unexpected.
