The Third Person's Pov

"That weird I heard that they are near this area." Jamie walked around the abandoned village located on the east of the forest. Rusty statues figures and runes, brick houses covered with moss, fields filled with long, tall weeds were the only things left behind in those years after the villagers moved into the city. Jamie scanned the area with her brown pupils, yet unable to find any suspicious thing or people in the abandoned area.

"Jamie come here for a while." Minerva who search the another direction suddenly called Jamie out. Walked along the ruined brick houses and roads covered with moss, Jamie went to the source of Minerva's voice. Turning around the corner, she saw a large field with grown grass that reached to her thighs. In the middle of the fields, she found the Eastern-looking women bend down as if she's trying to pull out something.

"Minerva, What are you doing?" Pulling out a metal panel which created a boisterous sound, Minerva stared at the hole in the ground. It was covered with an illusion magic when she first walked through this area. It's supposed to be a grassy area, embrace with the soft soil on the ground, yet when she walked through this area, the clicking sound of her heels and the sensation of this area was somehow weird, when she bends down she realized the reason for the weird sensation. A secret door, located in the middle of the field that created the weird clicking sound. She forcefully erased the magic by pulling the edge of the door and the secret passage was shown. Satisfied at her results, Minerva let a smirk plastered on her face.

"Bingo." Jamie who enter the scene later, gasped at the gloomy underground tunnel and Minerva strength. She always thought the Rankin hidden base is under a coated difficult illusion spell, yet Minerva could erased the spell just by forcefully pulling the metal door opened. Unconsciously smirked at Minerva's strength, Jamie was excited about the punctuated growth in strength of the members in the guild.

But I also need to be careful for the member who will be drowned by power and become arrogant. Because that's not the ideal guild that I was looking for.

"Light-ball." Jamie used her attribute for light to light up the dark area. There were no candles or torches in the tunnel, which made it dark even under the daylight. They cautiously walked down the rough stoned stairs, carefully espied the surrounding as they continued to advance deep into the ground.

"Jamie, there's about three or four presences of human in a few metres ahead." With Minerva's constant training of blind-folding tracing presence, she was able to recognise different presence of human in a width of six metres ahead. Quickly Jamie casted a light-attribution, Stealth, to covered their presences and figure and rushed their way towards the hidden base. Standing before them was a old wooden-door. They both put their ears on the door, listening to the sound inside the base.

"What should we do, guild master!?" A wavering teen male voice can be heard from the inside, terrified he shouted.

"The Council Member are starting their search around this area already! It's only about time that they will found here!"

"Shut up Den! It's not like I don't know about that! Shit! Why is this happening!?" Another male voice shouted back at the man, Den, who can be predicted as the young teen male voice.

"But seriously guild master, do you have a plan on how to escape from here? I mean I saw a few council members searching around the area already."

"Don't worry, Lawin. They can't find here that easily. The entrance was blocked with a strong illusion magic, that is able to completely conceal the secret entrance of our base."

"......Baka. it's very easy to find the entrance because once you step over it, you can feel the texture of the ground is different. Although the visual illusion is cast, the texture of the door can't be changed." Jamie let out a silent giggle, as Minerva silently, sarcastically retorted the Rankin guild master's statement. Jamie and Minerva are best friends when Jamie first found Minerva wounded in the wood. Minerva, who was forced to be stayed behind in the forest alone, without any experience of survival in the wild, terrified in the darkness and forced to stay strong in the night. Even though they are the same age, Jamie had been experiencing survival in the wild alone during her time in the East forest with Porlyusica, Jamie who was able to find her alone in the wood, provide suffrage, shelter and lead her out of the forest. From Minerva, she heard a lot of stories about the pre-guild master. Prideful, arrogant and selfish. These are the first impression of Jiemma, Minerva's father. Feeling a bit sympathetic towards the teary girl, Jamie decided to change the guild, which eventually lead her to become the guild master of Sabertooth by following the Jiemma's "no weaklings are allowed in Sabertooth" policy. Jamie couldn't help but giggle at the memories of the young girl with eastern features crying alone had become one of the strongest members of Sabertooth.

"Should we attack now, Jamie?" Jamie snapped out of thoughts when she gain a tap from the shoulder. Jamie although know that they were stronger than the Rankin member by a thousand time, yet every time a member was hurt, reminds her the mistreat of Fairy Tail.

But I guess Minerva is strong and I can use Ranque's healing magic to heal when it's critical.

"Let's get in there."

"WHATS WITH THE SOUND!?" Terrified, the Guild master of Rankin, Litch with his black framed glasses, covered with a dark robe, shouted to his only two members in the room. They were in their secretive base where only a few members in the guild know its existence. It's the final base of the Dark guild, Rankin.

"I-I don't know b-boss, t-the sound is f-from outside." Den, with his spiky blonde short hair, spoke in a frantic voice, unconsciously shivered in fear.

"I will go and check, Master." Lawin, a person with dark complexion, who was also the strongest member in the team, claimed without a quiver. He opened the door and walked out cautiously, checking every corner of the road if there was any enemies hidden behind their backs. The road was cleared on the visual aspect, yet in the shadows two figure stood with confidence that they wouldn't be spotted. They were coated with the light magic, stealth. Lawin  walked out to the hallway as the door slowly closed behind him, without realising that the two enemies had already slipped through the wooden door, entered the base without the members' realisation.

"Stealth, erased."Along with the closing of the door and the distanced footsteps, the two enemies had finally showed themselves in the base. Litch and Den saw the sudden appearance of the two mysterious people, immediately quivered and retreated backwards. Shivering in fear, they looked at the two figure and had their magic prepared to be activated.

"W-Who are you guys!!?" The black-haired woman with a black skinny jeans smirked with an mischievous smile, cracking her knuckles and slowly approach the two members.

"Who are we?" Jamie smiled.

"We are your worst nightmares."
