"Quiet down you all!"

Saturn's voice reverberated throughout the premise.

Unable to withstand their ever increasing shrill voices imbued with their jealousy; Saturn, the guild master of <Best of the Best, the Great Star>, did what a guild master ought to do.

Ohh! Saturn has intrigued me enough to see him in a bit of new light. Due to the grace of being strongest among them, he managed to snatch the throne of guild master himself.

Only due to the grace of being the strongest among them, was why He was on the seat of guild master.

Well, however he usually is, he seems to have enough awareness about his duty as guild master, as he immediately moved in to put a reign on his rowdy guild members. Except.

——Polish-kun and other boys completely ignored Saturn-kun.

"I heard you know! this fella, Brave, eats the cooking of Hannah-sama every day!"

"What did you say!? Unforgivable! Brave's sins are unforgivable!"

"Explode! Be blown away you damned Brave! You damn Normie!"

Saturn, who was frozen on his spot with his hand outstretched pose that he had taken to quieten down his guild members, looked like a clown. An extremely ineffective move it was, eh. A pity, Saturn, you just don't have enough charisma.

Anyway, it's really time to stop their blabbering mouths that have begun to spout things I don't even remember, or else we aren't going anywhere looking at their furious appearance.

Hmm, how should I quieten them down, their guild master is just a useless decoration... I glanced at sub-master Jilong.

"Fufu. The Equipment I bought just last week aren't even fitting anymore."

"Same for me. They're especially getting tighter around my biceps. It's a headache, ain't? Haha."

"This Venerable scene is actually opposite, this great body of mine has constricted so much that all my clothes are like they're overlarge hand-me-down. Look, just how lean these abs are."

......They're not going to be of any help either.

Even at this time, all they're just thinking about is muscles. What else could be done to handle this unstoppable rage from these bunch with them not even listening to their guild master......

"It's <Duel Battle> time! Let's tear that damn Brave from <Eden>!"

"This isn't enough! We gotta keep him away from girls so that he will not get any chance to be with them! Let's put him into a boys only guild!"

"You're right! Brave is too dangerous! He will definitely seduce and abduct all the girls from the guild if there's any!"

"In fact, shouldn't we just drag him to <Best of the Best, the Great Star> then?"

"Don't say such a sad tale! All will come to know there's not even a single girl in <Best of the Best, the Great Star> then you know!"

"Misato-san! Why should you have to leave, Misato-san?"

The situation is steering towards a grim route.

Incidentally, it's possible to make someone withdraw from the opponent guild if there's a prior agreement in a <Duel Battle>. Though, this also means that the side who has presented this condition will also need to cough up matching reward as a stake, so there's almost no one who did that apparently. Well, not like this matter to me. It's the affair of other guilds.

Nevertheless, Misato sure is popular, huh. Somehow, I can hear the lamenting voice of seniors amidst all this.

It seems like she would have been treated like a queen if she had stayed in this 3rd strongest guild of first year department, maybe it wasn't actually a profitable idea to withdraw for her?

I glanced at the jealous boys. ......On another thought, I think it hadn't been a bad decision.

In the meanwhile such thoughts were flashing in my mind, Saturn had finally recovered from his petrification state.

"Hold on there! You're saying to bring Brave into our guild! That Brave, nowhere but under me? I approve! Guild Master approves of this plan! Let's make the stake from <Eden> Brave!"

It seems like imagining me his underling has struck a chord inside Saturn.

Uh-oh, so he also joined them.

Though boys were thrown into a flurry when Saturn said that.

"Huh!? Wait, are you even sane!?"

"Hold on, I think it might actually be a good idea! We can ask Brave to give us a lesson on how to make girls fall for us."

"What did you say!? Hmm, but indeed, there's nowhere another womanizer as capable as Brave among first years. We surely can't ask for any better ally than him!?"

"Indeed, Indeed so! In, In fact, my family has said to find a wife in the academy and bring her home."

"Actually, my family also said that."

"<Best of the Best, the Great Star> may be the third strongest guild, but the future where girls might join this filthy guild is indeed rarer than finding qilin's horn."

"Your word can't be denied. Besides, dungeons are still the best way to get to know each other well after all. We're just more serious than usual there, no? Just the couple formation ratio of those who spent time in the dungeon together is an eye opener."

"Why the hell there's no girl in <Best of the Best, the Great Star>! This just makes class the only place to meet them!"

"Just the other day, I invited a girl to the guild, but she declined saying '<Best of the Best, the Great Star> is a bit...'."

"Why! Why the hell is it still the same even with our daily training!"

"That's where we have Brave. I heard Brave's circle is extensive, the majority of the students in the rumored elective class are girls apparently. We can have him introduce someone to us."

"Gulp W, Well this is certainly a fascinating proposal."

Their words are getting more and more derailed from reality. Meanwhile the person they're talking about, me, is being completely kept out of everything.

Hmm, I wonder if there will be any problem if I leave them alone and leave from there?

Rather, even if they might manage to get success in their plan, there's no way they can keep me from becoming their guild master, and in the worst case scenario for them, their guild might also be hijacked by me.

However, boys who were completely fascinated by their delusion that this may be their chance to get in contact with girls hadn't had the capacity to think it through.

It seems like there's no stopping their rowdy bandwagon with no one to restrain them.

What to do?

And just when I was seriously thinking about ignoring them and entering the academy building, the group was apparently done with their delusional talk.

Everyone's eyes were tinged with a shade of desire. Scary.

"We're done talking, Zephyr!"

As soon as Saturn's voice escaped his lips, boys immediately surrounded me in an orderly manner.

They were acting with such well-coordinated movements that one wouldn't think they are the same people who until a while ago had ignored even the existence of their guild master.

Did he win over their hearts in just a few minutes of discussion? Forgive me Saturn, it was foolish of me to say you don't have any charisma.

"We, <Best of the Best, the Great Star>, issues a <Duel Battle> challenge to <Eden>. What we want in this guild battle's wager is you, Brave!"

"I don't want to."

"............Uwhe?"

Saturn must have been full of conviction that I would surely accept his challenge, that;s why he raised a stupid voice when I turned down his challenge.

On the contrary, why did he believe I would even agree?

Leaving aside everything, the pressure from all the boys increased a notch higher at my words. It seems like I lost my chance to escape.

How to deal with them now...?

Just as I was wrecking my brain to think about the option, a helping voice resounded from the opposite direction.

"What may you all be doing?"
