Chapter 46 Is Hate Born Of Love?

Another hour passed and the sun had already set, the last recruit to try and hit the dummy actually passed making him the fifteenth person to join the group who passed the first test. With the conclusion of the test, the muscular man stood in front of them with a satisfied face.

"Not bad, for fifteen people to pass today, this is quite a good harvest, good job everyone. I hope you pass your second and final test tomorrow. Who knows maybe in the future we can work together. As for the details of the next test, I will announce it tomorrow morning. That's it for today, dismissed!"

He did not wait for the new recruits to react and immediately made his way towards the branch head's office. The new recruits did not dilly dally and separated without talking to each other. Enzho was curious about the others but after observing that everyone ignored each other, he let go of the idea of making acquaintance and went home.

.....

The branch head's office was located at the top of the building, it was just a simple room filled with books, scrolls and random stuff. Aside from that, the strong smell of alcohol filled the air. A small balcony was built overlooking the training grounds that was lit up by torches. A few people were still training producing elongated shadows.

Two people were at the balcony sharing a flagon of alcohol, the muscular man who tested the new recruits and the other one was the lazy looking guy who stood in front of the building that was met by Eznho earlier that day.

"How're the new recruits? Anything interesting? This stupid punishment is really annoying," the lazy looking guy asked with irritation while sipping alcohol.

"Well, you pissed the old man, let's just treat this as a vacation, haha. He even personally sent us here," The muscular man teased.

"Hmph! Well it's not my fault now, is it? The daughter of the target was really hot you know."

Jackie answered while grumbling.

"Hahaha, well because of what you did, we nearly failed the mission," Mike slapped his thigh while laughing heartily.

"Hmph! We accomplished our mission in the end, didn't we?" Mike retorted.

"Hahahaha, can't argue with that, enough about that, a total of fifteen passed, all average except for three people, can you believe that Jackie?" the muscular man answered enthusiastically.

"Really now? That's quite a lot Mike," Jackie raised his eyebrow showing a look of suspicion.

"It was really unexpected, the first one is actually someone similar to me who is a body enhancer, albeit not as good looking as me, haha. The second one is actually the youngest son of the axe gang leader." Mike grinned and drank a mouthful.

"How amusing, that ambitious old man actually wants to have a connection with the guild. Well, if I were him, I'll probably do the same especially now that his oldest son is a member of the Blood Tavern. A branch member to be exact, the more connections he has, the more power he holds. Not bad actually," Jackie praised while savoring the smell of his alcohol.

"That's true, but he will never be able to surpass the Eastwood Gang," Mike debated.

"I agree with you on that brother, anyway, who's the third?" Jackie asked curiously.

"Ow, the last one is a dark horse alright, take a look at this,"

Mike waved his hand and the wooden dummy that Eznho punched floated in front of Jackie. He scanned the puppet with his soul sense and was surprised. The other recruits could not see it but the insides of the dummy were mangled and its back had cracks. This result could only be achieved by having an almost perfect control of your power.
