Chapter 237: Join The Ravagers
The Armour of Ares that Mark got was probably the best reward that he had gotten in a while. Armor that could reduce the damage of any attack was very hard to come by, and Mark was not going to overlook its usefulness.
But Mark was just worried about how things would end up for him if Sozin kept stealing these things from the gods. Zeus was already pissed at Mark for the gloves that Sozin stole, and now Sozin went and stole Armor from Ares. Is Mark really going to be okay if the gods get their hands on him?
[Comment from GoG: Nah, you\'ll probably get jumped by the gods if I wasn\'t there for you.]
Mark gained a tick mark on his forehead when he read Sozin\'s message, but he just decided to let it go.
\'Meh, I\'ll deal with that later.\'
If there was something that Mark learned from Sozin, it was how to bullshit your way through problems like a boss. If Mark ever got into a dangerous situation like that, he would find a way out.
"He did it… he actually did it!? What the actual fuck!?"
"YARGHHH!!"
"GO GHOST! Show that Eldritch who\'s boss!"
The people who had been watching the fight had completely forgotten about the analysis they were supposed to be doing, and they couldn\'t help but start cheering once they saw that Mark actually won!
"I can\'t believe it! He killed an Eldritch class!"
"He\'s definitely undefined! He\'s one of the SOVEREIGN!"
"The sixth SOVEREIGN! He\'s just a kid!"
"GHOST! GHOST! GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!"
The people began to chant Mark\'s name loudly! None of them could fight against the infectious exhilaration that filled their hearts when they watched the end of that fight! No matter who it was, they couldn\'t help but enjoy watching someone beat the crap out of such a monster with nothing but their fists, and all their excitement poured out of them in waves!
Everyone there was suddenly feeling energized as they couldn\'t wait for their own assessments to start! Watching Mark tear into that Eldritch like that motivated them and made them feel like they could do anything, and now they also wanted to fight and win against monsters!
A bright light shone in the middle of the assessment area, and three people suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. Sasha was standing with her hands folded across her chest and a pout on her face as Alec put his hand on her shoulder and spoke to her sternly about what she had done.
They both knew that Mark could have died in there if he was not strong enough to handle the monster, and the council was going to be sanctioning Sasha seriously for what she did.
Mark looked a little worse for wear, with his clothes completely battered and gone. He was only wearing his long plain trousers and gloves; his singlet, shirt, and shoes were all gone.
"GHOST! That was awesome! You\'ve gotta teach me that!"
"How can you fight against monsters like that!? What school did you learn from!?"
"That was some wicked movements, GHOST!"
Many people immediately started to swarm around Mark as they tried to talk to him and get close to him. At first, they did not see Mark as anything important because they thought that Mark was just biting off more than he could chew by going into that test without any preparation, but now that they knew that he was strong enough to be one of the SOVEREIGN, everyone wanted to be close to him!
But they were all stopped in their tracks as someone jumped down from the examiners\' booth above them and slammed into the ground right in front of Mark!
BOOM!
Gunter stood up to his full height, and even Mark was dwarfed by the tall man as he took off his sunglasses with a wide smile on his face. Everyone immediately kept their distance, and the noise in the room died down as the two behemoths faced off against each other.
Gunter put his hand on Mark\'s shoulder, and Mark raised a brow as he looked at the offending appendage.
"That was quite the showing, GHOST. I\'m very impressed. Tell me, are you interested in joining a guild?"
Gunter\'s first words immediately shocked everyone in the room! For as long as they had known Gunter, no one had ever seen Gunter ask someone to apply for his guild before. Usually, a superhuman can only join Gunter\'s guild by applying and praying that he would choose you among the hundreds of other applicants who apply to his guild every year.
Even S ranks that wanted to join his guild were all told to apply like regular people. That is one reason why Gunter has one of the most influential guilds in the world.
The number of people applying for it every year numbered in the hundreds, but Gunter only picked out five of the most promising people every year to join his guild. It was like superhuman Russian roulette!
But for the first time since its inception, Gunter was about to invite someone to join his RAVAGER guild!
People waited with bated breath as they watched the scene in front of them and anticipated Mark\'s response, but no one was as tense as Fiona as she watched what was happening below her. There was nothing that Fiona could do, even if Fiona hated what was happening. She had no hold on Mark. Mark could leave her guild at any moment, and there would be nothing that she could do.
And besides, why would Mark choose her guild over the RAVAGERS? The RAVAGERS were a group of extremely powerful superhumans. They were even more powerful than Luna\'s Moonlight Guild who also wanted Mark to join them. In the face of such superpowers, was Fiona even fit to speak up?
She tightened her hand into a fist and turned around as she prepared to leave. She would wish Mark the best and forget about him while trying to build her own guild. She didn\'t have a right to try to hold Mark back when he was already this powerful.
But a loud gasp filled the room and made Fiona turn around in shock to see what had happened.
Fiona saw Gunter leaning to one side, and she realized that Mark had pushed Gunter\'s arm off his shoulder! What the fuck was Mark doing?
