Zeph and Sauren entered mercenary corps hall in morning in order to meet Boss and tell him about completion of task and also ....for some extra commission for job that he promised.
They went towards reception desk to find usual Mary sitting there reading book.
"Hey ,May how you doing?"
May looked up from her book and was pleasantly surprised to find Sauren greeting her.She returned greetings and said,
"Where have you been these days,....oh so you found yourself team member"she looked towards Zeph and nodded in greeting.Zeph calmly nodded to her.
"Ah ,I was on commission yeah,we both formed a team.It is called ....hmmm
...Team 7 ."
"It is called nothing"interjected Zeph.
While glaring at Sauren to give message that he should be ready for beating if one more time he successfully embarrassed both of them.
Sauren who got his message,awk laughed "Leave team name ,what is in name ?Hahahah..."
"So ready for your new commission.Here are some new commission for C rank Mercenaries.Choose atbyour leisure."May professionally pulled out mission brochure from below table and presented to them.
"Actually we are here to see Boss first"Zeph Spoke straight to point.
"Boss!... sorry but he went to some escorts job probably he is in team of hosts of upcoming exhibition in inner city."
"Exhibition?"
"Yes , it is talk of city now.Probably some bigshots are coming for exhibition organised by big movers and shakers of Gephyr city.Exhibition of history antiques,journals,also strange yet powerful artifacts which can be also bought and weapons etc.
It is full on stage of social interactions with true upper society of human race.There are rumours that even some Yaksha with coordial relationship with humans are also invited.Many major clans and families will send their representatives to attend exhibition."
"So Boss is one of hosts ."
"Yes ,even though it is only branch of Mercenary corporation,but it is Gephyr City branch therefore branch head should be considered as uppers echelon of Gephyr City."
"I don't think people so weak like us can join "Sauren sighed and turned to Zeph,"Guess we have to forget about Extra reward"
Zeph and Sauren dispritedly went back to city roads where they subco took path towards their favourite restaurant.Stopping in front of restaurant,Zeph woke up from his thoughts and said,
"Hey why are we here?we just had breakfast?"
Sauren looked towards restaurant building,then said,
"I think after failure in our objective,we deserve some snacks"
Zeph wanted to scold him but then thought about particular teacake he had yet to sample
"You are right".
Both of them entered the building to satisfy their craving for snacks.
Door of room behind reception,which is of boss,opened and a man appeared from inside.He was drinking coffee from his mug and gestured towards reception to call for May.
"Anything of importance?"
Boss asked May as she stood beside him.
"Nothing really ,two C rank Mercenaries namely Sauren and Zeph was requesting to meet you regarding their commission."
"Oh,... them"
A smile appeared on his face
,"they won third prize in comp giving those scholars small shock from us Mercenaries.
You should contact them and give them invitation to exhibition,I think that would suffice for their extra reward"said Boss.
"ok Boss.But why are you pretending to be busy when actually you are not?"
"You think I'm free..."said Boss while staring sternly towards May but seeing no visible effect of his gaze he continued,
"Actually exhibition is already organised by those influential people of inner city ,my share of responsibility is to give invitation to some hard approachable guests which I had already fulfilled"
May nodded thoughtfully"So that's why there were sudden increase in A rank secret commissions"
Boss gave her big thumbs up "you are smart "and went back into his office which temporarily serves as resting room to him.
Zeph and Sauren were in middle of arguing over next destination to head towards when they got message of May about invitation.
"What invitation?we want money not invitation."Said Zeph as he was suspected Boss s intentions.
"Idiot , invitation is much much better .we could meet upper class of humanity which you know means most powerful humans.We can also witness some insanely powerful artifacts maybe we can pool our whole savings, we can even buy one .
That is good chance to observe those things which one could only get by having sufficient power."
Zeph was mostly unconvinced by his thoughts but he didn't want to kill his joy therefore he agreed to attend that 'legendary' exhibition.
There was still one week before start of exhibition which will be held over for three days.Many invited people had already reached inner city .
Exhibition will be held for three days and night at most luxurious hall of inner city known as Martial Hall which only served as reception for most powerful warriors before.
Zeph and Sauren continued their usual schedule during these days but they also felt increasing number of warriors roaming around city in last few days.
Sauren was successful in execution of his second technique of lava pillars using his high energy blue flames but was still far away from using them to execute his third technique.
His skill still took massive time to be executed properly.While Zeph has finally perfected his Divine punishment,now he can perform it for about 4 times in one standing .
