The entrance hall of Nine Sky Headquarters was filled with a sea of people. They all carried weapons of various kinds; from the heavy ones like the warhammer, to the most commonly used weapons like the sword.

These people were hunters who wanted to join Nine Sky.

Long before this day, Isaac had received word from Wang Yi that Nine Sky would recruit the new hunters again. He knew this would happen since many members of Nine Sky died during the Clearance.

Isaac wouldn’t be surprised. This was part of the plan. From the start, he wanted to reorganize the guild members, replacing them with new people who had prominent potential.

“Brother Isaac!”

A young girl with long black hair was waving in the crowd. Isaac saw her at the end of the entrance hall, and he came over to the girl.

[Class : B]

[Level : 28]

Since the last time he saw her, Wang Yi had experienced a significant level up. Isaac became curious about the development of Guo Chen’s level. He hadn’t seen the man since coming out of the ‘cooking place’.

“They are new members? Where do we start the selection?”

As usual, Isaac didn’t beat around the bush. He got straight to the point. The time he spent outside the dungeon was precious.

Wang Yi nodded. “Right. Come with me, Brother Isaac.”

She then guided Isaac to the selection site.

After passing through the elevator and a long hallway, they arrived at the selection site. As far as the eye could see, it was a large room with iron walls. Isaac saw that this place looked like a wide isolation room in a mental hospital.

“We have arrived. Welcome to the Nine Sky Guild’s practice room.”

Wang Yi led Isaac back to the door in the corner of the practice room. The two of them climbed the stairs until they arrived at the small control room. In front of them, there was a mirror showing the selection room being carried out.

“The new recruits will show their power in the practice room. We will judge them from here.”

“Just us?”

Wang Yi smiled. “Yes, it is true. My sister left the whole matter of recruiting members to me. Even though there are actually two more people, I have convinced them not to come.”

Now, it was Isaac’s turn to smile.

He asked Wang Yi to process the selection of the new members so that he would be the one to hold it. He didn’t want anyone to interfere in the selection of the new members.

Besides, Wang Mei was also busy with taking care of the compensation for the families of her guild members who died in the Clearance and solving the administrative matters. So she could not participate in the process of selecting the new members.

Thus, Isaac could really choose the strongest and potential human to become his warrior.

“Alright, Wang Yi. Let’s start checking the new recruits.”

.

Ten hunters entered the training room. They carry melee weapons. It could say they were all melee types. A confident expression appeared on their faces.

“Everyone, please line up.”

A girl’s voice came over the loudspeaker. The new recruits followed the instructions.

From the control room, Isaac observed them. After that, he checked their status.

[…]

Isaac took a deep breath. Then, he signalled Wang Yi by shaking his head. The young girl nodded, then brought her mouth closer to the mic.

“Thank you for participating in the selection process for the new members of Nine Sky. We will contact you to receive the results.”

The faces of the new recruits turned into confusion. They stared at each other, trying to figure out what was going on. They had not shown their teeth at all, but they had been assessed.

They left the practice room with a mind full of confusion.

“Huh, that’s bad.”

Isaac leaned back in the chair with a deep sigh. He had done the selection process for four hours and only ten were deemed eligible to join.

‘They have a decent level, but their class is low.’

The criteria set by Isaac were hunters with classes between C to A. Below that everything was considered trash, not much different from the monsters he usually fed for the hunters.

On the other hand, Wang Yi was curious about the appraisal method used by Isaac. In her eyes, the man only took a glance at the new recruits. After that, he made a decision. It was as if Isaac was judging just by their appearances. The man didn’t even see the history or rank of the new recruits.

“Brother, I don’t know how you judge them. But, wouldn’t it be better to let them show their abilities?” Wang Yi suggested with a worried expression on her face.

“No need.”

The answer Wang Yi received made her frown, but her instincts told her to trust Isaac.

The next batch came in.

Ten new recruits lined up. They followed Wang Yi’s instructions. This time two of them were hunters with magic-type. It could be seen from their weapons, which were staff.

Wang Yi thought they wouldn’t pass either. Judging from their data, none of them had any experience going into the dungeons. Besides, they were all F rank hunters.

The girl had prepared to eliminate them.

“They all passed.”

“Huh?!” Wang Yi’s eyes were wide open. Her face was completely shocked. “Sorry, Brother. They are all still of low rank.”

“Yes, why?”

Isaac’s answer surprised Wang Yi. She didn’t understand how the man made his decision. The only thing she knew was that her sister would be furious after seeing the new members they had chosen.

Wang Yi then showed Isaac their data.

“They don’t have any history of joining a guild and not having a permanent guild. Their history of raid failures is very large. They are typical hunters who change guilds, because they never feel compatible with the partners they get. They are solo hunters, typical selfish hunters who can’t work as a team.”

Isaac calmly replied, “You’re wrong, Wang Yi. They’re amazing.”

“What? Sorry I don’t understand.” Her eyes were wide open. Once again, Wang Yi didn’t understand Isaac’s way of thinking.

“Listen carefully, Wang Yi.”

Then, Isaac started to explain.

The Dungeon was a dangerous place. To conduct a raid, it required a team that had strong cooperation. And to build it, practice and fight together over and over again was necessary.

If there was a group of people who always had a raid with different comrades and they could survive so far, it meant their individual abilities were above average.

Such people were able to adapt to a wide variety of situations. They were typically people who were confident in their own abilities.

With a little training and the right pair of partners, Isaac was sure that they would be the best warrior.

“You understand?”

Despite the explanation, Wang Yi seemed unconvinced.

Isaac took a deep breath. Then, he looked into Wang Yi’s eyes. The girl turned her head, feeling awkward when their eyes met.

“Trust me. You don’t need to be afraid if something bad happens. No need to be afraid that your sister will be mad about this decision. I will help you no matter what… Nine Sky will be better than before. Got it?”

Wang Yi nodded. The man’s words seeped into her head like paper absorbing water.

“Okay, then.”

Isaac smiled. “Good.”

Then Wang Yi informed the new recruits that they had passed. After they left, the next group entered the practice room. Then, the process of recruiting new members continued.
