in front of the unexplored rank-A gate. Around 50 or more people had gathered, including Alvin and his squad members, Stan Walton, one of the association's chairmen, Seo Hana, the 1st squad captain, Elise Ryan, the 3rd squad captain, and Alex Turner, the 2nd squad captain, from the association, as well as the media teams.

VROOOM

A bike's exhaust sounded, and everybody in front of the rank-A gate turned to face the direction where the bike exhaust sounded.

A handsome black-haired man rode the bike, and a gorgeous blonde-haired woman sat behind him, hugging. The handsome black-haired man had a blank expression while the woman, who they recognised as Faye Clayton, had a bright smile, which made her look even more beautiful than they had ever seen her.

VRO-VROOOM

The black haired man stopped the bike in front of them and got out, everything seemed fine until Faye Clayton walked towards them first, the black haired man's gaze halted at Alvin and a ominous grin appeared on the man's face, and everybody who saw that face flinched and took a step back instinctively as they felt a sudden chill run down their spines.

"Alvin." Faye mumbled in a cold tone, frowning as she girted her teeth, and everybody who heard her voice snapped out of their trance and looked at Faye while their backs were covered in cold sweat.

"Alvin." Faye mumbled under her breath and girted her teeth, frowning.

"L-lady Faye Clayton! We have heard that Sir Alvin has been stalking you; is that true?" A reporter asked, and for reasons unknown to Faye, everybody around him looked at the reporter with an admiring gaze.

"I'm the one who said it in the first place, so of course it is true. Why would I lie? And that too in front of the media? You can investigate that son of a bit*h with a person with a lie detector; you will instantly know the truth and maybe even imprison him for it." Faye said with a scoff.

"And enough about that bit*h...." Faye commented and turned to face Max, who had a loving smile on his face.

"This man here is Max, the guild master of the Persona guild, the 'Hidden Powerhouse!'" Faye introduced Max herself with such a lovely smile that her previous frowning face looked like a lie.

"Max!!"

"Persona guild's guild master!!"

"...." Everybody turned silent after some of them repeated those words, exclaiming.

"... He's so f**king handsome." A voice sounded from the media people, and everybody, except for Faye and Max, snapped their heads towards the voice to look at who mumbled it, but not a single one of them denied that fact.

'Of course he is.' Faye thought with a proud smile.

"Hm?" Faye furrowed her brows at Max and stared at his face, which seemed to say 'Please no.' After she understood why he wanted to say that, she blushed and ignored him.

"Max..." Faye called out, smiling with a slight frown on her face.

"Y-yes?" Max asked in a low buzz-like voice.

"Haaa.....let's go in for now." Faye said with a sigh.

"Mhm." Max nodded with a smile and walked towards the gate with his gloved hands in his trousers' pockets.

After briefing everything in front of the gate, Seo Hana, Elise Ryan, Alex Turner, Alvin Collins and his goons, Faye Clayton and Max entered the gate, they were 16 people, ten were the goons Alvin had brought with him when they walked in on Faye, who was enjoying her first kiss for the first time in her life and she saw a kiss getting interrupted for the first time!!

Alvin and his goons seemed like a 'ideal' team, since it contained two tanks, four damage dealers of both close and long range, two mages, a healer and a supporter, while the other side had only two people Faye and Max, but not a single concern was seen on their faces while the 'ideal' team was tensed, since no matter what, it was still a Rank-A gate and an unexplored one at that, which means no data about monsters, terrain, nothing.

They entered into a dense forest area, and a small sigh of relief escaped the 'ideal' team's mouths. Seo Hana, Elise Ryan, and Alex Turner simply stood in the back, keeping an eye on them, but there was an oddity about two people who were having a couple's quarrel without a care in the world, in the middle of a place where their lives could be on the line!

"Ok sorry alright? I'll compensate for this 'sacrifice' after this is over." Max said with an apology.

".....you better." Faye said with a pout.

'After I'm compensated, I'll bring him to a gate myself! I need to test something...' Faye blushed violently at that thought.

"..... Orcs, goblins and hobgoblins." Max mumbled.

"Hm? Two variants?" Faye asked and readied herself, since she trusted Max enough to believe even his mumblings.

".... Yea. Be on guard, there's a hobgoblin mage, fire attributed." Max warned.

"F**k you and your nonsense!! We have mages with us too, not a single one of them felt anything." Alvin said with a scoff and laughed at Max.

"Faye.... 'ignore' them." Max ignored him and said while staring at Faye in the eyes.

".... Alright." Faye nodded in agreement, since it somehow felt different from all the other times he had spoken to her—this.... sounded more like a command.

WHOOOSH

A huge, metre-wide reddish brown fireball shot out at Faye and Max from nowhere; the weird thing was, instead of hitting them, it changed its trajectory and hit the healer brought by Alvin.

BOOM

"...." Everybody turned silent. None of them were able to register what had just happened; even the Rank-S heroes from the association couldn't feel anything, not even Seo Hana, who was a Rank-SS hero!

'.... What....was that?' Faye thought she wasn't worried about how a fireball was just shot at their face, but about 'something' that she felt flying past her. In that instance, where the fireball was about to hit them, Faye felt something like a breeze pass next to her, and the next instance, the trajectory of the fireball had changed!!

".....What!?" Seo Hana mumbled in shock, and everybody snapped out of their daze and looked at the poor healer's incinerated body before glancing at Max, who had previously warned them, and they noticed that he had a nonchalant expression on his face. That...face scared them more than the fireball.

"....Be on guard, if you don't want to die, that is."
