Entering the suite, I had only two words to describe it.
Magnificent and big.
It looked like the suites a billionaire would own.
Before I could admire the beauty of my new home. The Guild master sat down on a sofa that was massive and looked comfy as hell.
“Take a seat, we have a few things to talk about. ”
He said while gesturing for me to take a seat.
I told Samantha to go explore and took a seat on the sofa in front of the sofa he was sitting on. Separating us was a marble table.
The guild master said to me.
“First of all, We’ve got you your ice affinity skills and also a three-star ice-related mana training technique. we wanted to get four stars but we couldn’t find one on the market. Besides that, we’re completely helpless towards your spatial affinity.”
Hearing what he said, I asked him.
“Can my space affinity issue not be solved?”
“It can, But you would have to wait a while until we can get in contact with the elves. That’s the first option. The second is trying to find a spatial mana training technique on the market that was sold as a dungeon drop… but I’ll be honest with you. The chances of both are nonexistent. ”
He said while sighing.
Listening to him, even I could only sigh.
The quest reward for completing Super Dragon Suleras’s quest was just a guide to space magic. Not a spatial mana training technique. A training technique increases the rate of your mastery of the element. The guide will just help me be familiar with how to use space magic.
Sighing at my fate I asked him.
“So is that it? what about melee and weapon arts?”
“That depends on your preferences, what type of martial art and weapon art you want to learn, we’ll provide you with it.”
“And?”
“And now comes the main reason I’m here boy.”
Staring at him with a puzzled look, I asked.
“Which is? ”
Looking at me with a smirk, he said.
“You’ve attracted the attention of white a lot of big shots. One such big shot had reached out to us to offer a proposal regarding you.”
“.. which big shot was it? ”
I already had an idea of who it may be but I wanted to confirm it.
“The Wellington family. ”
Hearing his response, My idea was confirmed to be true. Trying to hide the smirk on my face I quickly asked him.
“What was their proposal? ”
Suddenly his carefree demeanor changed and he said in a strict voice.
“They want you to Be the bodyguard of Sabrina Wellington while she’s in Shield. ”
… what?
Me? An E-ranked dude, to be the bodyguard of the richest family’s heir?
I was expecting a partnership but not this.
Her family could provide her with multiple S-ranked bodyguards easily with their assets. So why the fuck me?
With a questioning look on my face, I asked the guild master.
“…Why me? I’m just E-ranked and her family could provide her with multiple bodyguards of your level with just their assets. So why an E ranked like me?”
Hearing my question, The guild master answered.
“Well, there are three reasons. One is that no bodyguards of her’s on my level can be with her while she’s in Shield 24/7. Second, they may want to get in your good books. Hell, they might even want to request you to enter a forced marriage with her.”
“Yo what? ”
“You are seriously underestimating your value. You are the first one among humans to awaken with a spatial affinity. If you can gain a better understanding of it. you can create spatial equipment and also create portals to unclaimed planets.”
Well, that was true. besides all my knowledge of the space attributes importance was based on after the Alliance accepted humans. Before Elijah found Humanity’s ‘real’ first space affinity awakened, Spatial equipment had already become common due to trade between the four races.
So, I was undervaluing myself a fuckton.
The conclusion was that I was a heck of a lot important to humanity. I asked the guild master about the third reason.
“And the third reason is? ”
“Infighting within the family. Sabrina’s father is currently outside of the city and off to another continent. It’s been like this for over a year now. Rumors are already circulating that he’s gone missing. By having someone as weak as you as a bodyguard. They can kill her quite easily. Her uncle is also the one proposing this. If someone as ‘weak’ as you is her bodyguard. Her uncle has multiple chances to kill her off and make his son the official heir”
He replied in an annoyed tone, especially that ‘weak ‘ part. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮
Did he get offended because I said that her family could hire multiply awakened of his level?
Without even listening to me. He got up and prepared to leave.
“I’ll let you think about this. You can tell me at the guild. Also, the Skills are in the training room which is in the basement, you can learn them there. I have to go now.”
And immediately after he said. He slammed the door shut.
‘Dude, are you that prideful?’
I thought, that man got seriously offended that I said that there were many like him.
Well, I need to think about this proposal. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
While it was true that Sabrina’s father had disappeared, this became common knowledge later on in the novel. while she was in the third year of Shield.
So why we’re there rumors of him disappearing now?
Wait, It was confirmed that her father disappeared, currently, there were only rumors of his disappearance.
This damn Offer was suspicious. Her uncle had truly wanted to kill her as many assassination attempts had been made at her life in the novel, only to be stopped By Elijah and the other protagonists. So why is he proposing this offer if he can just do it while she’s in the shield? Wouldn’t have any bodyguard not be better?
Unless Her father’s Faction was keeping a watch on the uncle. Even though her father disappeared, there are bound to be some people that were still loyal to him and would do their best to protect his daughter.
I didn’t want to accept this suspicious as fuck offer but I had to.
The reward was too good.
I needed to complete the quest to get the reward.
So I decided. I’ll accept it. And I’ll also charge them a fuckton for my protection fees,
Now being well aware of my importance, I was gonna charge a hell of a lot of money. A spatial mage’s time was precious!
I decided to accept it.
And then I immediately diverted my attention to the basement
Walking down the stairs, I opened the large door and found myself to be in a large white room, The room was filled with top-of-the-line gym equipment.
In the left corner of the room were a table and a chair.
On the table were a few books, I immediately knew they were my skills
and techniques.
In the right corner was another door made of metal. Completely ignoring the right corner, I Excitedly ran towards the table and found my new skills and the mana training technique. Although it was three stars called [Whiff of frost]
I was gonna use this technique extensively until I got my true desired technique.
Looking at the skills they were, they were even more amazing.
