Chapter 588
Many of the applicants looking at the manifested contracts in front of them press down on options, pushing a finger into the fragments of blue crystals.
I watch the holograms of text fold back into the floating devices, and the crystals shift their form slightly into compact cubes with data swirling inside of them before they float back to the oval table at the center of the room.
A majority of the crystals hover back toward the Apex Region's Director, while Dane and Nat's fly toward the Silca Region and Veridian Region's Directors respectively.
The only people who still look at their contract options in the line are Marcie, Emrie, and myself.
Marcie speaks up in the silent room.
"I'm not interested in signing any of these, am I free to go now?"
She pushes the floating crystal back toward the table without making any counter offers. In the same motion, she makes the move to put her new hunter's ID in her item box, but misses it on purpose.
It falls to the floor next to her feet, making a noticeable sound as it settles onto the hard mana shielding below us, then she just crosses her arms and waits for a response.
I feel auras of shock and confusion come from many of the Region Directors.
