Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

This wasn't the first time dealing with arrogant higher ups individuals like them. In my kingdom, I was daily surrounded by this kind of trash. Although I hated their fake arrogance, I had to show my respect first, so I followed Aria suit and bowed my head shortly before saying:

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but there is something very important I need to offer to Aria, and I need you, esteemed elders to be a witness to it."

One of the elders, who was the oldest of them, replied calmly:

"It's thanks to you that Aria won this challenge, without your interference, Aria wouldn't have managed to step over Rick."

Although he thanked me, he demoted my friend and belittled her achievements. It seemed these elders were set on not choosing Aria as the leader of the group. if I wasn't worried about the fate of Aria, I would have replied harshly over his words, or at least sneered on them.

However I couldn't do that, I wasn't here to make enemies out of them and complicate things to my friend. I was here to help her.

"Thanks for your kind words and praise, elder. Aria, step forward please."

Although I couldn't reply harshly, I kept my eyes fixed over these elders when I spoke to Aria, who moved to the front with a worry and a loss on her face.

Once she stood beside me, I took out the medallion I took from that swordsman, as I asked without moving my eyesight away from those old foxes:

"Aria, do you recognize this?"

"It's a bronze rank medallion of the mystic art hall, everyone knows what it is Agatha."

"Good," I then threw it as if it was nothing to her, "from now on, it's yours."

She took the medallion as she paused for a second there without saying anything. The faces of the elders showed great shock and surprise, the same thing I anticipated from them. I looked at Aria to find her stupefied with her eyes attracted fixedly on the medallion.

"I-I-I can't really take this, you need it."

I took out that Grode medallion as I played carelessly with it while saying:

"Don't worry, I've got my own medallion."

The eyes of her widened, as she didn't anticipate such a reply from me. She froze there moving her eyes between the two medallions then she said:

"How come you got two medallions?"

"Well, I could have gotten three, except for your killing of that sore loser."

I intended to humiliate Rick in front of these elders, as I was telling the truth. she giggled involuntarily as she asked:

"Are you sure of that? This could be a great help for you."

"Nah, I don't need it," then I put away my medallion as I extended my hand over to her, "welcome to the mystic art community, sis."

She knew I was playing around here, however she decided to go along with my play. She extended her hand and shook mine while saying with a wide smile:

"Thanks, sis."

I turned to look at the stupefied elders as I bowed my head in fake respect while saying:

"I apologize for my interference, however Aria is like a sister to me. anytime she needs help, I will be by her side, always. I will take my leave then."

Without waiting for their reply I moved away with another stupefied person, Rog, who followed me heading outside this beautiful beach. Away from all this tiring matters, I decided I would visit here often, as this place had a relaxing effect over my nerves.

"D-Do you have two medallions?"

Rog was still stupefied, and I like him this way. Without turning back I said:

"You know we still have a bet between us, remember it?"

He automatically replied:

"Yes."

"Do you believe you are worth more than this medallion?"

I heard a muffled sound coming from my back, so I turned to look to find Rog stumbled and fell on the ground from his shock. His look was really funny, as I laughed on him.

"What? Are you surprised this much?"

He stood upright fast as he looked embarrassed. He knew for sure no matter how amazing he was as an assassin, he couldn't beat this medallion. If it was my secret class, then he might have a chance, but against this medallion he would lose for sure.

"C'mon, don't be ridiculous, who would bet against such a medallion?"

He was trying to find a way out, however I said at once:

"Are you trying to renege over your words? For your knowledge, we have a contract between us. Are you sure of doing this?"

This time I was really playing with him, as I added:

"I also recorded a video of our agreement, if you are this shameless then I would be as shameless as you and post it on the forums."

His twisted face became more unsightly, which pushed another smile over my face. This cool assassin was funny thinking I would let him slip off my hand like this, he was mine since the moment my eyes fell on him.

"Are you serious? I was just joking back then."

"Hahaha, say that to the game contract you signed. Get over it, you are mine from this moment on."

His face was still twisted as he didn't accept his fate yet. I shook my head as I spoke seriously this time:

"I know that might seem awkward, however following me would change your whole future. Just trust me and help me in the upcoming journey. Someone talented like you shouldn't play solo, as playing with a team is fun regardless of everything else. 

I won't betray you as long as you are loyal to me, so just make up your mind. I won't force you, however if you don't join me, then you will miss many things, exciting things."

I said it while taking the medallion out. My move attracted his interest at once, as this wasn't just a random move, especially when coupled with my serious talk just now.
