Occupation

"Hey kid! Hop in!" Lee said as his car parked by the side of the street. It was a nice car. Not too high ranged in prices, and not low either.

Ezra had found some motel around to crash in. He still had some cash from the one he took from the thugs, so he needed not to worry. Plus, since things stored in his inventory didn't spoil with time, in respect to organic stuff, except living things, Ezra could always stock up. Also, last night he directly emptied a whole vending machine into his inventory. Since that was the lower parts of the city, it wasn't unusual. There was no problem.

Ezra entered the car, and this time he was with just Lee, the other two weren't around.

"I'm a guy who hates beating around the bush, so let's head directly to the guild first." Lee said.

-"I didn't know you were part of a guild."

"I'm not, but I know the guild leader, he's a friend. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to have you."

-"Wait, I don't want to join any guild."

"You just have to. You still need to make money right? How do you plan on entering a dungeon without a guild?"

"You could always come to me then, I should have some position open for you to enter, and you'll be part of my men. I'll treat you well." Said, Lee.

-"Thank you, but I'm not interested." Ezra answered. 'Since when was gang recruiting this open? Is the underground so simple?'

As it was at the moment, Ezra really had no choice on the matter. 'The strong can't be controlled anyway.' Ezra said to himself.

They drove all the way to the Gangdam Guild building, a tall and huge sky scrapper. It just happened to be one of the big guild, the building alone showed their wealth. They just went in after parking the car. Ezra just followed behind Lee without asking many questions or being too nosy. They entered the elevator and proceeded to the top floor straight up. After they got off the elevator, their next destination was the guild leader's office.

"Ah, Mr. Lee, you must have come to see the Leader, please, come in." The secretary who was outside by the door at the moment said and opened the door for them. It seemed that she knew Lee and knew his relationship with the guild leader.

"Ah, Small Lee, you paid me a visit today? What brings you here?" The man who was standing when they entered the office said with a smile on his face.

"Nothing much, I brought this little friend today to join your guild." Lee said.

The man looked at Ezra for a brief moment and then back at Lee. He could tell that Ezra was not ordinary, as even he who was an A class Hunter couldn't even perceive accurately what level Ezra was at.

They had some small discussion, really nothing important, then the man who introduced himself as Lance requested for Ezra's strength to be tested.

'This Lance Baxter, he should be an A rank. But this name, such unusual names these days.' Said, Ezra, in his mind.

Even though Ezra was introduced by his friend, Lance couldn't just accept him like that through word of mouth alone, he needed to see what he was capable of first with his own eyes.

"June, please lead him to the training hall, we'll be there in a minute." Lance said.

"Alright sir. Please, this way." June said, as she led Ezra out of the office.

The training hall was somewhere within the middle floors, so they took the elevator down. Though it wasn't certain yet if Ezra would be joining the Guild, June was doing a good job giving Ezra a bit of a tour around as they headed for the training hall.

Inside the training hall, there were quite a bit of people practicing and all. Since a hunter's rank is pretty much justified the moment they awaken, the only way one could improve themselves is to train themselves in other fields that would increase their effectiveness. Like a tank doing some body building, and an attacker learning some fighting techniques or how to wield weapons.

Normally, no one would pay attention if someone was to enter the hall, but the presence of their guild's secretary was eye catching enough. Not to mention that June was quite the beauty in her mid twenties, she had actually brought someone personally.

At the moment, many eyes were on Ezra, as the story behind him being treated like such would be a bit tantalizing.

"Who's that guy?"

"I don't know, but he could drag the secretary down here.."

Such whispers covered the place.

After waiting for a bit in a bit of an awkward silence, the Guild Leader and Lee entered the training hall. Surely, it was a bit awkward as Ezra gave simple answers to every question that June asked or he would just remain silent if it wasn't necessary.

'This one's a real piece of work.' June thought to herself as she thanked the heavens that her boss had arrived. She just couldn't take anymore.

"You guys are here. Ezra, was it? I would like to test you to see your strength." Lance said to Ezra, with a knowing look in his eyes.

Ezra seeing this shifted his eyes towards Lee, who gave him approval. It seemed that Lee had informed Lance about his situation.

'Of course, since I can't go to the association to register at the moment, this is the only way to test my strength.' Ezra thought to himself.

One of the guild's C rank hunter happened to be at the training hall at that moment, so he was picked to spar with Ezra. Since Ezra had stated that he was an attack type hunter, it was good that the one he was about to face was a C rank tank.

"If you need weapons, you can get from there, suit yourself." Lance said. Beside the stage where they will be fighting in a bit, there were different collections of different weapons. Ezra didn't need to look though, since he wasn't planning on using any. He had killed monsters with his bare hands so much that he had developed a savage kind of battle style.

'Today though, I will only be needing punches.' Ezra said in his mind.

His opponent looked at him for a moment there and decided to drop his shield and use his body, since his opponent, Ezra, had decided not to use any weapon.

'This guy is weaker than he, I should definitely hold back. No need to kill anybody or cause injury.' Ezra said, in his mind.

"START!!" The Guild Leader, Lance, said audibly so his voice could be heard clearly.

"HMM, BRING IT ON." The C rank hunter facing Ezra said, as he took a stance. With this stance, he definitely wasn't planning to play tank only roles and receive strikes.
