The Rise Of Calamity

"Hey, uhm, you already know me since we had met yesterday... My name is Zaji and I am a member of the Lunar Guild alongside my party members. We don\'t have a name since none of us are exclusive to this party alone, but we are still all good friends" Zaji paused, looked into my eyes, and nodded before looking at one of the Bulkier men among the group that I clearly recognizes as being the tank of the team.

"Moving on from me, this is Requice. He is our defense as well as one of my closest friends. He is a little quiet but don\'t mind him much." The burly man nodded after Zaji finished speaking.

Zaji then looked at another slightly burly male to his side before speaking up again.

"This is Raquaz, our main attacker and also our only swordsman. He is probably our strongest member and is also our leader" 

Slowly, Raquaz stood up, standing at about 6ft tall before walking around the table and up to me. Everyone on the table looked at him weirdly, while at the same time, there was a hint of wariness on their faces. 

Looking down, he watched me as I also got up and out of my chair. However, due to me being at least 8 inches shorter than him, I still had to look which was something I did not like.

Raquaz was in the third tier of the golden tiers making him stronger than June by an entire tier.

\'aren\'t there too many warriors here nowadays?\'

[Mages are rare after all... Only those with money can be awakened, and even then, they might not have the talent]

Suddenly, I felt a good amount of pressure start to press down on me. While most of it was neutralized and repelled by my natural divine aura, I could still feel its presence. However, compared to Rose\'s pressure, this was nothing.

[Ding]

[Battle intent is being directed at you]

[Would you like to absorb the battle intent and convert it to soul energy?]

\'Yep,\' I answer with a hint of excitement.

[Absorbing...]

[You have gained 1 unit of soul energy has been absorbed]

[You have gained 1 unit of soul energy has been absorbed]

[You have gained 1 unit of soul energy has been absorbed]

[You have gained 1 unit of soul energy has been absorbed]

[You have gained 1 unit of soul energy has bee...]

After a few seconds of the constant sounds of dings echoing in my ears, they finally stopped and a wide grin appeared on the face of Raquaz.

Everyone in the club that had turned quite let out a sigh of relief when they saw the goofy smile on his face.

[67 Unites of soul energy have been converted to 0.67 units of Divine Soul Energy]

"You really are as strong as the rumors say! Sorry about that. Please let me introduce myself! My name is Raquaz and I am the leader of this amazing part" he stretched out his hand for a handshake.

Stretching my hand towards him as well, I grabbed his hand into a tight handshake that would have broken the hand of any normal Grand knight. 

Surprise flashed onto his face, yet due to it only having the strength of a normal initial imperial knight, he did not suffer anything from it.

"My name is Lilith" I replied simply.

At this point, Zaji had gone quiet and had let Raquaz take the lead.

"Anyway, that is Xolder, he is an assassin snd scout.." He pointed at a slightly short man, just a little taller than me. He was currently sitting with one of the girls that had held his arm possessively this whole time.

"He is dating River, another assassin, so don\'t try to steal him unless you are willing to get cut down without even knowing what had happened." Raquaz laughed while I looked at River who had started to glare at him with a slight tint of red dyeing her face pink.

They were both at the silver tiers.

Raquaza looked at the two remaining girls and smiled.

"And these two beauties are Sandra and Elizabeth. Sandra is my wife and Elizabeth is her sister. They are both mages" 

Looking at them, their powers were both hovering around the initial Imperial to peak grand wizard making me wonder how the hell someone like Zaji had gotten into the team with his feeble power.

As if wanting to answer my question, Raquaz pointed at Zaji and announced with pride "And this is our newest member who had been with us for a month now. He was mainly here for some training, but now that he has his..." Raquaze paused, looked to the left before looking to the right, and leaned over to whisper in my ear...

"Skill" He moved away again however, this time he had a huge grin stretching from the corners of his lips and continued...

"While he is not on our level of power yet, he still has one of the best potentials that I had ever seen" He winked at me.

When he stopped talking, the grin did not come off his face until he seemed to have remembered something that he had not said yet.

Again, he leaned over to my ear and whispered "He is single too *Wink Wink*. Hehe, don\'t you think he is cute?" He grabbed me by the shoulder and turned me around to look at the fidgeting Zaji

"Ugh" I rolled my eyes and got out of his grip with ease since it was loose anyway. However, I paused for a second and recalled something Raquaz had said.

\'Did he say the kid has a skill?\' I asked with suspicion.

[Are your ears blocked?] 

\'Tsk... Analysis, analyze him for me please\' I smiled, yet it did not reach my eyes.

Instead, my eyes shone even brighter while my pupils shrunk and a 3-dimensional star of David started to spin around it.

[Analyzing...]
