Chapter 68 - 67. Adorable Chicks
The seventh floor was filled with a strange atmosphere of mixed emotions—there was astonishment, apprehension, and even fear and excitement swirling between the guides.
Among the other departments in Trinity, the seventh floor was the one that saw Zein the most, from the day of his orientation to the time he came and go to the office space.
However, none of them knew exactly what his role was within the guild except that he had a golden badge. They just saw him as this scary-looking guide with a cold and reserved personality, who manhandled a 3-star scout that one time.
Now that his position was revealed, the man seemed even scarier. Zein had softened his vibe during the last few days, by trying to relax and wearing Reina’s clothes. But that recording of him fighting a monster seemed to return the fear they had upon him.
Although, along with that fear was also admiration.
It was the afternoon after the executive meeting, and Chief Guide Abel Hertz had told all the guides to stay in the guide lounge after they finished their guiding duties. Abel told them nothing, but it was clear that it had something to do with their new superior and the new division under him.
Some of the guides had tried to ask Abel about it, but the Chief Guide only told them to wait. They were whispering and speculating among themselves, but the moment the elevator door opened and they saw the figure in a black uniform, all went quiet inside the guide lounge.
The only one who wasn’t tense during all of this was, of course, Abel, who welcomed the tall guide cheerfully. "Are you done with Iddina?"
"Mm," Zein only nodded briefly, which enhanced his reserved vibe. He threw a glance around the lounge, where the guides were suddenly tensing and avoiding his eyes. "All is here?"
"One is sick and two still rest after their guiding session earlier. I’ll relay it to them, don’t worry," Abel looked at the tensed guides with a brotherly smile.
What a bunch of adorable chicks.
