Chapter 219: Shye’s Decision
Two moons hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire world with their subtle silvery glow as countless stars littered the dark heavenly canvas—ever-present—timelessly watching the world's past, present, and future unfold.
Beneath the constellations was Valenzia City, the city of dreams.
For some reason, tonight, the city was busier than usual.
Mighty adventurers donning full sets of high-tier equipment and guild staff members carrying random stuff—letters, gift boxes, and paperwork, sprinted here and there, seemingly working hard to accomplish the tasks given to them.
The reason for the unusually busy night was that the Adventurer Academy Competition had just concluded, prompting various prominent guilds to extend invitations to prospects of their choice, hoping to secure talented rookies for their guilds—hopefully, faster than any other guild.
Inside one specific guild— The Titan's Fist Adventurer Guild, Guild Master Jin tirelessly crushed communication talismans.
"Orlie, are the preparations complete? Send invitation letters to Colzen Academy RIGHT AWAY! Send Vurg immediately; there's no need to wait for the mailing companies. Tell Vurg not to spare any expense; he should use as many teleporters as necessary to ensure he arrives in Colzen City first!"
"Understood, guild master!"
*BEEP*
After making the last call he needed for the night, Guild Master Jin looked out the window with a satisfied smile on his face before bursting into hearty laughter.
"KEKEKEKE...I wonder what your ugly faces would look like upon learning of the difference in wits between you guys and me?! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Meanwhile, in the Orze Advanced Adventurer Zone, lots of heads turned towards Siegfried and Shye, waiting for their decision.
If both do decide to join the guild, then Soaring Raven would be the biggest winner of this year's rookie recruitment frenzy.
Self-aware that Shye was the star, Siegfried spoke first.
As for Soaring Raven, for a sly fox such as him, his heart was beating a little too fast.
It was understandable though as this was the first time such a super rookie popped out of nowhere in Valenzia.
He believes that if he manages to secure Shye, then his guild entering the inter-regional guild rankings wouldn't remain a dream anymore.
No one except himself knew, however, Shye already decided to try joining the Raven's Blade Adventurer Guild even without Soaring Raven doing all this.
His reason? Simple.
He needed to disappear from the eyes of the crowd for a short while to create opportunities for himself to earn points.
If he simply joined the top guild, then it would be harder for him to earn points.
Furthermore, top guilds like these were known for their ruthless competition, inevitably leading to internal conflicts.
Shye wasn't a fan of killing guildmates so he did some research and coincidentally, it turned out that Raven's Blade was the perfect guild for him to join, not too high, but also not too low on the rankings in addition to having a strict internal conflict policy.
Thus, Soaring Raven throwing in such massive benefits was a huge win for Shye.
However, since it was clear that the guild master regarded them highly, he planned to obtain a few more benefits for not only himself but for his loved ones.
Pretending to have a difficult expression on his face, Shye opened his mouth, making everyone go silent as they waited for his words.
"Honestly, since my friends are all joining, I'm also inclined to join. However, I don't want to be in a competition with my beloved little sister and my girlfriend, Shirley, in the future."
"I'm not asking for the esteemed guild master to ensure their admission as I'm sure they wouldn't like that, however, if you could guarantee to give them at least a seeded token for the guild's admission exam, then I would greatly appreciate the guild master's generosity."
"My little sister will probably be representing Colzen in the Adventurer Academy Competition two years from now so if you appreciate her talents, then you can talk it out with her in the future."
"Those are my conditions for joining. If Guild Master Soaring Raven deems them excessive, then I'll have to seek other means to repay the favor of saving my life."
