Chapter 120: 120. The Divisions

The overseer took a pause, and said, "All battle oriented divisions are available to you. The ones I would suggest are the Assassins Division or the Army Division. There is also one not combat oriented, and that is the Research Division. It seems your way of using runes drew their attention."

"Wich one would you suggest?" Asked Mack

Pondering a bit, the overseer took another sip at the coffee and then said, "I think the best for you would be the Army Division, your fighting style match more the kind seen in a battlefield, and in small time you would be able to achieve merits to improve your rank in the army, my guess is that in less than a year you would already be a Lieutenant, above that, it would depend mostly on recommendation, politics and trust, as any kind of organization."

Mack faked interest in the topic, even knowing what to choose already, but seeing that the overseer was trying to honestly advise him, he asked a question that even Harlack could not respond due to a Blood Oath.

"How could a secret organization like this have an army? I mean, I get the Assassination and Research divisions, but an army? How does that works exactly?"

The overseer was about to open his mouth casually to answer that, but suddenly he froze. He almost forgot about the Oath, he gave a slight cough and pretended that nothing happened, and said, "Unfortunately, I can't answer that, but what I can tell you is that our organization has different companies and organizations for each branch, some work on the shadows while some work openly, if someday your rank in any of the divisions increase, then you will be allowed to know all of that in details"

Hearing that, Mack gave a small sigh. The dammed oath seemed to be a standard procedure for anyone who had a high rank.

"I see... What about the Assassination Division? How exactly do the ranks work there? I mean, will I be able to gain merits and rank up?" Asked Mack.

The overseer took another small sip of his coffee and started explaining "Yes, the ranks in there works a bit different but is the same as any other Division, once you complete a mission, merit points and contribution points will be given to you, the amount varies according to the difficult of the mission, merit points is basically a record of what you have done and allow you to increase your rank on the organization, while contributions points are given as an internal currency, those, can be exchanged with all we have to offer or essence crystals, once you become a official member you will be given access to our network and with that, you will have a more clear view of how both works, for example, any member can exchange contributions points for money once a anonymous bank account is open or for essence crystals, but only members with a minimum set number of merit points can order an assassination mission and pay for it using his contribution points, the same goes for buying some rather rare materials etc..."

Mack pondered for a bit and said, "So even a foot soldier, if having enough merits, eventually will be able to order an assassination mission?"

"Correct. That actually is a very common motive for joining us. There are many people that are not good at combat but good at research. They join us in an attempt to solve old grunges by earning the needed amount of merits and contribution points." Said the overseer, changing his gaze to the window in passing. The transportation vehicle finally started moving, and by the window he could see the blue horizon made by the sea.

Seeing the overseer suddenly distracted, Mack continued, "I don't know. I don't think I'm fit for a structure like an army. I really enjoy my freedom. Maybe I should join the assassination division? as you have seen, I don't have problems killing people."

The overseer changed his gaze back to Mack and gave a long pondering glare at his eyes and thought 'Indeed, a monster like him, inside the army, would probably cause a havoc or kill a bunch of weaklings in the first day.' the overseer refrained to say anything that he thought and pondered over the question for a bit longer and said, "Indeed, inside the assassination division you will have more freedom, but your fighting style..... I don't see how that would work. But, is your choice in the end."

Mack heard that and thought that the overseer was indeed correct. His way of fighting was brute, and two swords were extremely eye-catching. He too felt that his current fighting style didn't match with his personality. 

'Also, I still need to fix the issue of not being able to use my runespells effectively during battle when holding the two swords in hand.'

Thought Mack, remembering the last battle. He always had to throw his sword or do something with them to free his hands so he could use the runespells. It was too cumbersome. The two things didn't work well together.

'I like dual wielding and I think that suits me well, but I can't use the runespells with my hands occupied. I need to think what to do, but this can't go on.'

Seeing that the overseer was waiting for some kind of answer Mack said, "Indeed, I agree with you, I will try to improve my fighting style in the weeks to come, but I think the Assassination Division will be the more fitting to me in the long run."

====== Cringy Author Note ======

I normally put my comments and thoughts on the section of 'author notes' but to make this more 'perpetual', I wrote this time here, inside the chapter.

As you guys know, 'writer' is not my job, and I mostly write in my spare time, this causes me to write chapters once motivation and free time comes together, and I would like to thank everyone that supports the book by paying for the chapters, giving PS or golden tickets, or even just leaving a comment, this is what motivates me to keep writing. To know that there are people who truly enjoy reading my stories.

Also, I would like to give a special thanks to @DarthFraz, because since he came aboard, every single day, without missing one (even during my breaks), he goes there and vote on the book giving his PS.

Another special thanks to @Tender_One, please don't go bankrupt giving me gifts.

Another special thanks to all the 'silent readers' who subscribed to the advanced chapters in the mobile app.

Thank you very much!
