I almost grabbed the guard's collar momentarily. Clenching my fist tightly, I calmed my emotions. I had only guessed based on skill characteristics; there's a possibility that Alpha might not be my brother. Even if Yoohyun confirms it, it might not be a big deal. Suddenly finding oneself in an unfamiliar place could lead to accidents due to confusion.

They said Alpha was successfully subdued and well-managed... darn it. Anyway, it means he's safe. Yoohyun wouldn't mess things up here in the first place. It's okay.

...Even as I reassured myself, my mind was recalling the items I had, remaining points, and the list of items in the point store. No, I shouldn't act hastily. First, I need to confirm if Alpha is really Yoohyun. Let's stay calm.

"Thank you for the ride. If you don't mind, could you help me with one more thing? I'd like to sell an A-grade item, but since it's my first time in Akates, I'm worried about being scammed. I'll compensate you for your trouble, so would you mind selling it for me?"

Since he was a guard, he should be familiar with this, and offering a 5% commission made the B-grade guard hesitate. When I handed over the A-grade dagger I had kept, he made a quick call and swiftly processed the transaction. Even when I mentioned not having a card, he arranged for a new cash card. Minus the commission, I received 3 million L. The currency remains the same. The B-grade guard, who earned about 1.5 million won in labor fees, happily provided me with information on decent hotels, restaurants, and more.

"Oh, by the way, I have a special support skill. Can I work at the Defense Bureau?"

"If you're a support guard from Medsang Center, you're welcome anywhere. If you apply for a transfer to the Defense Bureau, they'll schedule the date for changing your imprint."

He left me his contact information, mentioning that if I needed to sell more items or required other assistance, I could contact him anytime. With that, the B-grade guard left.

Despite being not far from the city center, Akates gave off a simpler vibe compared to Sollemnis. Still, the buildings were tall, and there were many people in the lively streets. I rode the scooter along the road towards the Defense Bureau, even though I was tired, sleepy, and hungry. I recharged the scooter's fuel on the way.

Arriving at the Defense Bureau's complaint office, I took a waiting ticket. Shortly after, it was my turn.

"Hello, I'm a special support guard from Medsang Center."

I handed over my ID along with a brief introduction, and the employee showed a slightly surprised expression.

"I'm considering transferring to the Defense Bureau in Akates."

"Oh, yes. I'll connect you right away. Please wait a moment."

Things seemed to be going smoothly for now. Before long, a man dressed in a suit appeared. He was a D-grade awakened with an average mana amount. Perhaps his support skills were excellent, or maybe he failed in imprinting.

"Hello, Yoojin Han. I'm Dasple, in charge of support guards at the Akates Defense Bureau."

"Hello."

"Come inside."

Dasple, in charge of support guards, led me inside the complaint office. When we sat on the sofa, tea was served. Dasple, sitting across from me, showed a friendly smile.

"Are you aware of the rumors about guards being treated poorly in Akates City."

...What did he say? I felt a sudden pain in my stomach. If they were willing to voluntarily pay taxes, how bad must the rumors be? Suppressing my expression to maintain a friendly demeanor, my lips trembled slightly.
