“What the fuck?! Is this device broken? How could his Mana energy be even lower than an ordinary human?!” Kevin Jung was really surprised to the point of reflexively glaring at Mira Ahn.

“Cannot be. If this tool is damaged, then the tool will also not work on the three of you before,” said Ronald Stewart while staring suspiciously at Anna.

“He may be able to manipulate the scanner tool that is always provided in front of the gate as well as in the Academy. But not by the Association. How do I do this?” thought Ronald.

“Ah.., it turns out so. This tool is great.” Said Anna casually while staring in awe at the scanner which only has a size of 15 x 15 centimeters.

“J-so... what does it mean?” asked Kevin curiously.

“A type of energy Where we are different. So, of course Sato Corporation has never entered my Mana type of energy into their data,” Sahut Anna.

“A-what? Then...., where did you get that different Mana energy? And how do you improve your experience point?”

Kevin Jung's question made Anna recall how she got the mana core. That power had indeed been immense since he first obtained it

But along with his training for thousands of years, his strength had also increased many times over.

Anna did get the mana core instantly with the help of the mysterious statue. However, how he developed it was really not instant and he had to train very hard.

Same thing with the Orcs. They developed magical powers by performing rituals of singing and dancing around the campfire.

Anna finally realized that the way to increase Mana energy might indeed be different in each race.

Humans themselves, get the Mana core after experiencing severe pain and develop it with a study.

Actually, that's why humans aren't as strong as the Mana energy monster before they take 'forcibly'. Humans simply take over without developing it themselves with exercises or rituals like Anna and the Orcs did.

"So, how did the Elves develop their strength, huh? I was curious" thought Anna.

"Anna?"

"Yes?" Anna was a bit surprised when Kevin made her aware of the daydream, “Oh.., I am not currently doing any upgrades.”

“Then, where and how did you get your strength?” Kevin Jung kept pressing because Anna had yet to answer his question completely.

“The story is long and I have no passion to tell it.” Sahut Anna who then snorted with a lazy look. “We better continue the conversation about the guild.” shade company

Kevin Jung was still staring at Anna with a gouging feeling. In addition to her unsatisfactory answer, she also disliked Anna's lazy gaze, which she felt was very demeaning to her. After all, it was a gaze similar to the gaze of a girl who seemed to hate him, Miyuki.

Kevin Jung was very curious, but he also did not dare to force Anna to tell him.

“Ehm... By the way, the name of the guild has not been written,” Mira Ahn cut off the conversation while looking at Gina.

Gina looked at Anna.

“I don't have any ideas. But, for the name of the company just use the name 9 AM.” Said Anna.

“9 AM? What does that name mean?” ask Kevin.

Anna pointed to the digital clock that was on the wall of the room, “Now exactly nine in the morning.”

Kevin snorted with a loud voice in annoyance.

‘She chose a name carelessly.’

“Hey, AM not just showing the time. It was also the initials of my name and the creator of the avatar. Also, we first met at 9 am.”

Kevin looked at Anna fixedly, “I'm sure you can also read minds, right?”

“I can't. It's just that, the contents of your mind are clearly drawn on the look of your face and also your attitude.”

“You and you..., can you guess the contents of my mind? Just look at my face,” pinta Kevin while staring at Gina and Bimo alternately. The two Hunters shook their heads. Kevin looked at Anna again, “You're terrible.”

Sighs…

Anna immediately went back to the sofa without responding to Kevin's accusations.

"Can I make the name of the company? I'm the CEO, right? You gave Gina the freedom to choose a name too, right?" pinta Kevin walked over to Anna.

However, his footsteps came to a halt as a huge force shackled his body and made both of his legs rise from the floor.

"H-hey..., what did you do to me? Do you want to be a dictator?"

Argh...

Kevin's mouth was suddenly locked and he could no longer speak.

•••

Kevin lays out the company he will lead to Ronald Stewart, in order to get a referral letter that he will later use to register the company legally and to take care of administration in government offices.

Kevin Jung also showcased the products they would market in a lengthy video that they had recorded from the Academy exams as well as when they made illegal raids in some Dungeons.

Ronald, Steven and Mira were unceasingly amazed when they watched the video that was also very well packed by Miyuki.

They thought, if Hunter will eventually be replaced by avatar, then there will be no need to worry about the death of their family, relatives or friends while conducting the raid, as is the case today.

The latest avatar hunter even has a system to escape when the object is in a desperate state.

The experience Miyuki had when conducting her first test run at the Academy, made her think how to have the avatar, who was in a desperate state, have a system of escape and return to where the pilot was.

Because, if the avatar is destroyed and scattered when losing a fight with monsters, then the entire experience point that has been collected will be lost in vain. This can cause people to be hesitant to buy the product.

°°°

Ronald watched the Dungeon monsters that defeated avatars in several raids. He knew that the type of monster he was fighting was a monster from an A-ranked Dungeon, and an avatar could defeat him!

“What is that avatar rated S too?” ronald asked Kevin with a serious look. He thought, if that avatar is ranked S, then he should just retire.

Kevin cleared his throat once before answering, “When the recording was taken, his avatar was still rated B,” said Kevin slowly. He could see Ronald's shocked reaction afterwards.

The answer made Ronald feel that he was no longer needed to fight monsters.

'If rank B is already that great, what if her avatar is ranked S?'

In fact, the monsters had been badly injured by the Orc army and Dark Elves before being wiped out by the avatar. However, they certainly did not take the recording when Orcs and Dark Elves did, to not make any other confusion question that would definitely be very troublesome to answer.

Fortunately, how to fight the avatar pilot is also very convincing. The pilot moves the avatar with great agility, even more effective than an Assassin-type professional Hunter.

“Pilotnya very adept at controlling it.” Mira Ahn. As a fellow Assassin, he wasn't sure if he would be able to make a fighting move as good as an avatar pilot.

“Yes. While testing at the Academy, Mr. Fizer also immediately asked his pilot to be enrolled in the Academy only after seeing a little action.” Anna said that with a proud expression.

"The pilot's not a professional Hunter?" mira asked with a surprised look.

Anna smiled, "Not. He is also the same age as me and has never studied at the Academy. He did not want to get involved with the Dungeon directly. That's why he created the avatar hunter."

Mira's speechless. It actually makes no sense. How could a beginner have such a fighting technique? Of course everyone who heard what Anna had just said, would not believe her.

When he first saw the way Miyuki fought, Kevin Jung also thought that the girl must have been an experienced Hunter. However, when he found out Miyuki was just a novice Hunter, he almost vomited blood from not being able to believe her.

Being able to fight so deftly as Miyuki did while controlling the avatar was the dream of all Assassins. Unfortunately, due to his busyness with administrative affairs in the Association, Mira did not have much time to practice martial arts.

"Not to feel inferior. I also felt embarrassed when I saw the avatar movement that really looked like a real killer" said Ronald, who is also an Assassin-type Hunter. He smiled bitterly at the end of his sentence.

“B-okay.. Now....," Mira turned her attention to Gina, "Have you set the guild name?” ask Mira.

Too many surprises that Mira received today so no longer want to linger too long staring at the video presentation. Mira felt like she would go crazy if she had to continue watching the video. The woman eventually left Kevin Jung to Ronald, her boss.

“Nine Bears.” Gina quickly.

Everyone turned to Gina, after she said the name of her new guild.

“What was it?” mira asked, feeling unsure of her hearing.

“Nine Bears.” Gina repeated.

Glup…

Mira gulps her saliva as she runs out of words to question the strange name. He thought he would hear a name that sounded fierce or at least a good name from a beautiful and intelligent woman like Gina.

However, Kevin who slightly did not accept the name that he thought was too cute, questioned the name as if to represent Mira's thoughts.

“Where did you get that idea?” ask Kevin. The way he asked was relaxed, yet with a disapproving look.

“We set up the guild at exactly nine. The first member of Hunter also has nine if counted with avatars. The name of the company to be shaded also uses the number nine, right?” Gina explained.

“Then, where did his bear name come from?” ask Kevin again.

“We....,” Gina glanced at Anna before continuing, “We can take advantage of the bear figure that helps clear the dungeon break. People won't know if we say that the figure behind the bear costume is the hunter avatar,"

"We can also take advantage of the incident to raise the name of the company 9 AM. And again, there would be no one to claim to be the figure behind the bear costume, right? So no one will know. Except, dad, Steve and Mira leaked it.”

Ronald Stewart looked at Gina with wide eyes after his daughter gave a long explanation of the origin of the guild name she chose.

Ronald never thought his sweet, honest-talking daughter could become an author of such a beautiful story.

‘My daughter has changed.’

Ronald glanced at Anna who had an awkward smile on her lips while listening to Gina's explanation, “He's a boy who has a dangerous influence.” Ronald thought as he looked at Anna with a hint of annoyance in his heart.

“How, Anna?” gina asked Anna, who immediately replied with a nod of her head.

“A-I agree.” Anna then forced her lips to smile broadly.

Probably among all of them only Anna knows that Gina is very fond of bears because only Anna has ever seen how much of Gina's miniature collection of bears in her apartment.

'The choice of name was only because he liked bears, right?'

“Alright...,” Kevin finally agreed to the name, even though he didn't actually like it. "And I was the vice chairman of the strangely named guild, also the chairman of the company with a name without philosophy," Kevin poked in his heart.

“How's Bimo?” gina asked again, at the quiet man who happened to be standing next to her.

“I agree, miss Gina.” Bimo fast.

Gina smiled widely, “Well, with this, our guild is officially formed!”
