"By the way, Melinda, I have something to ask of you!"
Hearing Elric suddenly call out to her, Melinda felt like someone had just poured cold water over her head
Unfortunately, Elric didn't seem to care what she thoughts, and just continued speaking after giving her a slight glance
"Melinda, how would you like to disband your tribe, and all of you officially became one of us"
"Wizards!"
*Boom!*
Hearing Elric say this, Melinda's whole mind seemed to explode
*So could this be his goal all along?*
Although at first, Melinda didn't think too much of Elrica's command. But after several attempts and re-reading of the original message. Melinda couldn't help but feel inexplicably angry
"Disband your tribe"
It was this exact sentence that infuriated Melinda the most.
After all, to follow its command would mean that all her history and culture as an Amazon would completely go down the drain as all their lifelines were going to be indirectly held by him
Thinking of those, Melinda was more determined not to listen to Elric's words.
However unknown to Melinda, Elric who was on the opposite side could more or less guess what was going on in Melinda's head as she kept quiet for almost all questions.
Obviously, it seemed like her level of restraint or resistance toward him was still high.
Thankfully, Elric already had a backup plan considering such a thing might happen
"George!"
Taking a look at George on the side, Elric knew he would be a key man in carrying out his next set of instructions
Unfortunately, George at the moment was completely focused on a flying butterfly making him unable to hear Elric's words
"George!"
"George!"
"George!"
It wasn't until the fourth shout from Elric that George regained his senses letting the butterfly escape from the room
"Yes young master!" Shouted George as he blushed slightly realising that Melindas and Elric's gazes were completely fixed on him
Luckily, after sensing that George had cake back to his senses Elric didn't comment much on his behaviour just now. Rather he just gave George a deep look as he began to explain his next task
"George, right now I'll need you to take Melinda around the school"
"Let her see the apprentice wizard's training, their combat prowess, and other things"
"By the end of today, I want her to see all the benefits of becoming a wizard"
"And you Melinda, once this trip is over I'll give you another chance to answer if you're ready to disband your tribe. After all, one mountain cannot hold two lions"
Saying this, Elric stopped talking as he looked toward Melinda and George waiting for their reaction.
Thankfully perhaps it was because a lot of things happened lately as neither side showed too much surprise to Elric words.
George, hearing he had to take Melinda around, wasn't surprised as judging from Elric's characters and past behaviours, George had already expected him to say something like that.
So George hearing Elric come up with something like a tour, George wasn't all too surprised.
However, such wasn't the case for Melinda's voice
Just a few minutes, her mind was currently a mess as she kept on thinking about her tribe's legacy was in jeopardy and there was almost no chance of avoiding it
Now hearing that Elric was practically giving her an opportunity to refuse, Melinda almost jumped up with glee on the spot
Thinking of what Elric just said, Melinda even ran it through her head to make sure he wasn't imagining something up
"Great! I can't believe all I have to do is go on some tour and just say no at the end"
Murmuring slightly, Melinda couldn't believe that Elric just said that.
However, after taking a serious look at Elric, Melinda knew he wasn't joking
At this time, unlike the usual smiling face, Elric at this moment had a straight and plain facial expression as he looked toward her waiting for her reply
Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine
*Damn! What kind of look is that!"
Cursing slightly, Melinda knew that she had to answer him now, at least before he ran out of patience.
Thinking of this, after making a decision Melinda quickly spoke to Elric
"I agree! I agree to take a look around and see how everything works here, especially find out what the so-called wizards in your mouth are"
"And after taking a good look round and understanding everything, I promise to give you my honest thoughts on whether my tube men and I would stay"
Saying this, Melinda nervously looks at Elric waiting for his reply.
Although she said all this now just as a means to show him she was ready to cooperate, only Melinda knew that her curiosity towards many things such as wizards, those bone weapons Alvin and the rest used last time and the whole building were real.
Now thinking of this upcoming tour, Melinda decided to use it as an opportunity to completely satisfy her curiosity.
Thankfully, Elric didn't seem to know what she thought, or even if he knew Elric probably wouldn't care much.
Seeing Melinda being so uncharacteristically willing to cooperate, Elric, although curious about what happened, didn't think too much of it; rather he decided to send her off while she was currently in a cooperative mood.
Thinking of this, Elric suddenly spoke
"Good then, since you're willing to go on the tour then Goerge both of you may leave now"
"If you haven't had breakfast, I suggest you have some at the cafeteria before you start anything "
Saying this, Elric quickly waved to them signalling for them to leave his office
"Alright young master, I'll be sure to complete the task successfully!" Said George as he led Melinda out of Elric's room
*Bang!*
With a light bang, the door closed leaving Elric once again alone in his office
However, this time, rather than admiring the scenery through the window, something else was on Elric's mind
"Sigh…. Alvin, I hope you're doing okay wherever you are"
