Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 74: Only One Way: Commotion

League of Firefly Guild Base.

Almond was genuinely surprised by the scale of the base as they entered through the peripheral gate and saw big and exotic buildings.

"Yeah, this is nothing, bro. League of Firefly is over three times bigger than GAA's branch here in terms of base size," Roken said upon seeing Almond's expression.

"But of course, the main headquarters of GAA is the biggest and grandest of all," Roken added with a grin.

"Let's go," Julian said as he parked the car and turned it off.

...

The trio entered the Reception building, which had five desks and a person sitting behind each of them.

Almond, Roken, and Julian walked towards a desk as the black-haired girl in her twenties promptly asked, "How may I help you, visitors?"

"I am here to meet someone," Almond said with a polite smile. "Would you please tell me where is Lily Darkwood?"

Hearing that, the girl squinted her eyes for a second before replying, "I'm sorry, but reporters are not allowed to have an interview with her."

Almond blinked.

"Do we look like reporters?" Roken pointed his finger at himself.

"Reporters in camouflage?" the lady tilted her head. "We've had five of them since morning."

Almond wryly smiled.

"We are from GAA," Julian replied with a deadpan expression.

"Huh? Are you here for her inspection? Nope. Not even your Branch Master is allowed to do that. Her profile will be out when the guild decides to do that."

"..."

"We are not here for that," Roken scratched the back of his head and looked at Almond.

"Can you please call her here then?" Almond asked with a dry smile.

The lady rolled her eyes, "Yeah, sure. Who are you? Her brother? Haven't heard of one."

"Umm...I am...." Almond paused and leaned ahead before he whispered, "Her life mate."

The lady was stunned before her expression gradually darkened, "Security!"

...

"This is embarrassing. Do you not have her contact or something?" Julia clicked his tongue as they were escorted out of the reception building.

"I don't have her contact," Almond wryly smiled. "I didn't think it would be hard to meet someone here."

"And we didn't think that your girlfriend was the super newbie that's going to be super rookie soon. She's the same one some of those people were talking about, right?" Roken curiously asked.

Almond didn't know that Lily and Natalia were training in that private palace that only high-ranking Platinum-rank members could access, and only they could bring others on that hill.

'That tall and big building must be their main headquarters building.'

They soon arrived at the Arena section. It was a big bow-shaped area slightly bigger than a football field, with five elevated platform rings over it in pentagon-shaped points.

"This is pretty good," Almond said.

The 4th number platform was empty, so the newbie did a long and high jump, landing squarely on the platform.

"Come on," he said, beckoning at Almond.

"Sure, but I would like to change the bet," Almond said, his voice loud as he raised his hand holding an item.

Ryker and others looked at it while the brown-haired boy on the platform also squinted his eyes to see the item.

"This is a Rare-grade weapon drop from the 1st Floor, Stardriver Shard Staff."

"No fucking way," Roken shouted.

Julian was also dumbfounded.

"You can't be serious?" Ryker narrowed his eyes. "That fetches one million Gold coins minimum, and more if it has good perks and skills."

"No fuck, he said it, so it's on the game now," the blond-haired newbie said excitedly.

"But know that we won't put anything of that value on the line," the second senior, a tall, muscled man with short indigo hair, said with narrowed eyes. "If you said that in excitement, I'll allow you to take it back."

"I am serious," Almond said as he handed the item over to Julian. "He'll hold onto it."

Saying that, he jumped and landed on the platform, ten meters away from the brown-haired newbie.

"Damn, bro is serious," Roken muttered, his excitement surging. "This is going to be fun."

On the platform, Cyner grinned at Almond and said, "I am Cyrus, and my role is of a warrior. What's your name again? I forgot."

He took out a big mace with a spiked metal ball. It was a Rare-grade item crafted in the guild's forge house.

Almond took out his Preying Hunter's Sword.

"Another rare drop," Ryker muttered. "Two top-notch drops from the first floor."

"That chap must be from a rich fam, humph."

"What's his role?"

Almond stretched his arm and made a showy magic symbol with a star-theme design from his palm facing the ground.

"I am a summoner," Almond smiled. "Come out, Starlight Beast."
