Novel Full 501 Recruiting Members
—–
“It’s them…”
“I saw that black haired one fighting the Hero Dylan! He was insanely strong…”
“A Summoner, a real one…”
“And all the others are just as strong…”
“Hmph, Hero Dylan still beat them all! Don’t let their status fool you, they’re still just like us.”
“I can’t really accept that these commoners are so strong… So frustrating.”
“I was trained my whole childhood by the Knight Captain, there’s no way I cannot be as strong as them if I keep growing stronger…”
There were so many comments all around that it was rather frustrating to walk across the entire hall. However, we did our best to simply go get some food.
“Uwaah, so much food!”
Erika was fascinated, the food in here was incredibly fancy-looking, and they had a variety of everything. From steaks of over seven different types of meat, to delicious freshly made stew with potatoes, to mashed potatoes, wieners, fried seafood, soups and broths, and even a larger variety of desserts. Cake slices of all colors and shapes, small muffins, cheesecake, and fresh fruits of all across the continent.
Everyone felt like they were in heaven and picked up their favorite food to eat. I was rather fond of sweet food, so I brought with me three slices of cakes. Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Cake, and Fruit Basket Cakes. Alongside that, I also grabbed some curry and fried tempura shrimps.
Utilizing my powers and skills consumed large quantities of calories in my body, if I don’t eat enough calories I’ll end up growing thinner and weaker, I need to refill my energy to not fall ill.
“Hmm~! Everything’s so nice!” Erika began munching on everything.
“Yeah, I can’t believe there would be so much. I was half expecting some baked potato and coffee at best.” Chris said.
“Ah, this is wild boar meat! I bet it is imported from our town…” Eric said.
As we enjoyed our meal, the students around the hall were already beginning to call for new party members. Dozens of teams were doing this, so it wouldn’t be weird if we began trying to bring someone to our team.
“Blake.” Evelyn called me.
“Alright.” I quickly left behind the cake I was eating, as I began to call for people.
The method was very rough, we had to simply shout out and see if anybody approached. It was a rather desperate method, but this was the best time to do this anyways.
“We are looking for two more Party Members.” I said with a loud voice, mostly using Wind Magic to amplify the volume of my voice.
Everyone suddenly froze.
“T-The Hero Party wants members?!”
“M-Me! ME!”
“No, me first!”
“Wait, don’t get in front!”
“Please recruit me!”
p
“I can’t let go of this opportunity in my life!”
Dozens of students suddenly began to surround me and Evelyn, desperately asking to join.
“Students! Please make a line. Also, only students with Elite Scores.” She said.
“Wait, do you mean…?”
“No way!”
“Yes, students. Our party have all Elite Scores, so please, let’s begin filtering.” Said Evelyn rather ruthlessly, over half of the students annoying us quickly walked away with disappointed expressions and heads down.
However, a few remained, exactly six of them. It was time to do a small interview with each one and decide to add the most fitting for our party, preferably, members that can do things we lack.
The six remaining members were rather peculiar in appearance.
A blonde girl with twin tails in the shape of drills. She was tall and had sharp blue eyes, and a smug face.
“My name is Clarice! You better remember it as I will become your new member.” She said with a smile.
“I see. What’s your Talent and Spirit?” I asked.
“Heh, my Talent is 2 Star Gladiator and my Spirit is Lion Axe!” She said pridefully, her Element seemed to be Earth, and she was a strong, tanky heavy hitter.
However, we already had enough of those with us.
“Pass.”
“E-Eh?! Wait, you can’t simply…! How dare you!”
“Clarice, please go back to your seat.” Evelyn said, as an instructor, Clarice had to obey.
She looked angered to no avail, but after she walked back, several other Parties began to swarm her asking her to join.
The next member that walked in was a tall and muscular young man, with white hair and a stoic face. His skin was brown colored, like coffee, and he seemed very silent.
“Name’s Clark. Talent: 2 Star Heavy Knight. Spirit: Rock Wyvern.”
“A Wyvern as a Spirit, huh?”
Having such a useful spirit that could fly was certainly something unique. He was a tank, yeah, but he could bring more than just taking damage. He also seemed stoic, my type of person. I would prefer someone silent than a talkative person.
However, our team was too filled with heavy hitters and tanks, we really didn’t had space for another.
“You’re promising, but pass.”
“Understood.”
He walked away without even changing his expression, I guess he didn’t cared either way.
And then, a small sized girl with brown skin and orange eyes stepped in.
Her hair was also neon orange, as bright as it could get. She had slightly pointy ears, but her size made her resemble a girl in her seven years of age than thirteen or above it.
“N-Nice to meet you… N-Name’s… Name’s… A-Alberta…” She began stuttering while talking.
“What’s your talent and spirit, Alberta? Also, are you a dwarf?”
“A-Ah… Y-Yes… I am a Dwarf from the Dwarf Nation of… Fierysmith.” She stuttered. “M-My Talent is… 3 Star Rune Blacksmith and my Spirit is…”
FLASH!
A beautiful yet small red and orange hammer emerged in her hands.
“V-Volcanic Smith Hammer… I-I don’t specialize much in fighting but I can… support you, maybe… I… I’ll go away now. I guess I am not really someone fitting for this…”
She quickly gave up and began walking away.
However…
“Wait! Don’t go.” I said, grabbing her shoulder.
“E-Eh?” Alberta looked at me with shock, blushing in surprise.
“You’re perfect! We need you, Alberta!” I said with a fascinated smile.
“Uwaaah?! R-Really?!”
Indeed, she was a Blacksmith! It was perfect! Just what we needed!
