[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 588

Many of the applicants looking at the manifested contracts in front of them press down on options, pushing a finger into the fragments of blue crystals.

I watch the holograms of text fold back into the floating devices, and the crystals shift their form slightly into compact cubes with data swirling inside of them before they float back to the oval table at the center of the room.

A majority of the crystals hover back toward the Apex Region's Director, while Dane and Nat's fly toward the Silca Region and Veridian Region's Directors respectively.

The only people who still look at their contract options in the line are Marcie, Emrie, and myself.

Marcie speaks up in the silent room.

"I'm not interested in signing any of these, am I free to go now?"

She pushes the floating crystal back toward the table without making any counter offers. In the same motion, she makes the move to put her new hunter's ID in her item box, but misses it on purpose.

It falls to the floor next to her feet, making a noticeable sound as it settles onto the hard mana shielding below us, then she just crosses her arms and waits for a response.

I feel auras of shock and confusion come from many of the Region Directors.

However, the Talton Region's Leader emanates pride and a bit of amusement from this display.

The other new B-Class hunters in my line are worried about what Mr. Freeman's reaction will be, but once he speaks up, it's clear he expected something along these lines to happen.

"We're happy to see our long-lasting agreement with the Talton Region is still producing strong warriors. Of course, it's not mandatory for you to sign. You may leave with your Director once our conversation here today has finished."

He pauses, then in the same instance, all of the blue gems are sent flying back from both him and the other two directors to their hunters.

"For those of you that have sent offers back, or wish to think things over longer; you will have 5 days until the yearly contract terms begin. So, I hope we can settle things by then. You may stay here in the Apex Region; we will happily accommodate you while you think about your future."

I think about his words and continue reading over the terms of many of the deals in front of me as the blue crystals are sent back and forth between hunters and directors.

Some of the blue crystals stop glowing and stay in their consolidated cube forms once agreements are settled. They all stack in a pile in the center of the table.

The only two people left in the room who haven't decided on their future are Emrie and myself.

The thought of spending time here in the Apex Region is partially appealing because I want to gain access to whatever facility is used for training A-Class Hunters, but at the same time, there's no way I want to be alone in a room with Mr. Freeman again before I can return to the Dark Continent and think up a plan to secure my victory in overpowering him without any unforeseen risks.

I send out a telepathy channel between all of my teammates during this exam and talk to them one by one, detailing the fact that I have a long-range communication ability and will be reaching out to them in the near future.

Dane has signed a 4-Year Guard Duty Contract with the Silca Region Director, while Nat has signed a 1-Year Dungeon Exploration Contract in the Veridian Region.

Marcie responds to my telepathy link with a message I expected to receive, but it is still a bit sad to hear it come from her.

"It was a pleasure working with you, whoever you are, but my loyalties still hold true to my leader. I thank you for the help, and hope to see you again soon."
