Chapter 27: Join the SMD
Jason brought out the large dagger-like tooth and Liam chuckled. This was impressive.
"I didn't think any newbie would be capable of such a perfect Gate clearance I understand you didn't have anyone else, but you've done the work of an entire B-rank guild on your own. Well, this was an insightful conversation, and I want to have the honor of being the first to welcome you into the world of Superhumans. Things might get stressful from here on out, especially with your sudden propulsion into fame, but I can assure you that it'll get better with time."
Jason thanked the man for his words and Liam then continued.
"If you want to appraise and sell those drops, then you can approach the SMD Appraisal Department tomorrow. There will be an official test in a few days to register your ability for the Superhuman Database, so you should expect a call."
Jason nodded. He was about to leave, but Liam suddenly spoke up again to stop him in his tracks. Jason turned to Liam, and Liam smiled apologetically before talking.
"I'd appreciate it if you heard me out for a few more minutes."
Jason nodded while leaning against the wall, and Liam continued.
"We at the SMD are not independent like the rest of the guilds in the country. We don't go into Gates or fight monsters on a daily basis. But what we do here is just as—if not more—important. We keep order among the Superhumans and ensure the lives of the regular humans are not affected by the presence of Superhuman beings. Why am I telling you all this? It's simple. I think you would make a good addition to the SMD. Your skill set and power align with our values, and we will work well together. As far as monetary compensation goes, your salary will equal or surpass the average salary of your rank in guilds across the country. It's very favorable working conditions."
Once Liam finished his speech, he waited patiently for a response. Just like all the other guild representatives who were waiting outside for Jason to appear, Liam was also interested in Jason's power, as well as how powerful he would be in the future. Awakening as an A-Rank meant that Jason had the potential to become just as strong as the Five Rulers, and that was not something any recruiter could overlook.
