Tina grew up now, wasn't the same Tina five years ago, wasn't that weak and useless six years old girl.
"Tsk! If you want to go, then I'm going with you," just as everyone watched the two sisters quarrel like any stubborn family members in any conflict for ten minutes, Ibra suddenly spoke up.
And this time, the shock everyone felt wasn't like when Tina spoke up.
"Are you sure?" This time William spoke first. He knew Ibra for many years, and shared lots of desperate moments with him. He might be a bit edgy, a bit salty, and a very annoying master, but he was a kindhearted, very great friend as well.
William looked at Ibra, and the latter showed a look that told him this wasn't up to him. William sighed, realising that this brutal master seemed to fall for the little girl who acted out of her age.
"This is madness!" Line wasn't believing any of this, "you two are crazy!"
"Don't worry," Ibra said, trying to comfort her, "I'm going to keep her safe."
"I don't want anyone to keep me safe," Tina was still carried out by her conflict with her bigger sister moments ago. But her words didn't manage to shake Ibra's firm stance.
"I promise she won't get any hurt," Ibra said what he could to convince Lina, and the latter finally turned to William as she crossed her arms and asked in a threatening tone:
"Are you going to allow this?"
"Ahem," William didn't know why all this heat turned and fell on his head. He simply left the decision in their hands to avoid such tricky situations, yet he ended up in the middle of the most difficult situation ever, "it's not like this world is bad…"
"You are unbelievable!" Lina didn't continue to stay here, turned around and ran. Anyone seeing her face right now would see lots of tears rolling down her face. And anyone seeing Tina's face right now would see a bright smile of victory, like she just won a big battle or something.
"I'm going to be with her," Sara and Berry moved first, giving William a blaming look. The latter didn't know why they were blaming him. Tina and Ibra chose their future by their own will, without his interference or anything.
"You do know you shall expect a hard time later on, right?" Ro said before leaving with Lara as well. William stood in his place motionless, moving his eyes around as if he was asking: What the hell did I do wrong?
"If one of our vices is going to stay behind, then I'd stay as well."
"Count me in!"
"I like this world, it's not that different from our world, but it feels better."
More other members of the team joined Ibra and Tina, ending up with twenty members joining them. William looked at this roster, and felt it was enough to support the guild.
"I'll make lots of scrolls for you," William said, "many techniques, formulas, and blueprints. I'll also leave enough cores and crystals, enough materials and products to let you have a nice start."
"What about the place of our guild branch?" Tina mimicked her younger sister, crossing her arms and looking in an adult way towards William.
"I'm going to solve that as well," William paused, "I will try to secure lands in various cities as well. But be aware, this world may seem nice and all, but there are monsters and dark masters here."
"We killed lots of them before," Ibra scoffed, taking this matter a bit lightly, "what's the difference then back in our world then?"
"The dark masters control this continent," William rolled his eyes, knowing that his team and friends lacked lots of intel. He started to tell them more about the general situation of this world. And unlike what he expected, this made Tina's and Ibra's blood and desire to battle rumble in their bodies and spirits.
"I love it! This world is awesome!" Tina shouted, acting like the teenager she was supposed to be. As for Ibra, he simply responded by taking out his glaive, planting it on the ground, in a motion that told anyone he was willing to fight.
William knew if these two were common in something, then it was in their never-ending love for battle and facing new challenges. After he ended this weird meeting, he returned to his room and started to write down lots of techniques, formulas, blueprints, things that would be enough to make a good start for the guild branch here.
Aside from this, he wrote down something that he named as: The Secret Agenda. He instructed and entrusted Ibra with many tasks, many that would look a bit weird in the eyes of the latter.
William asked him to focus on the new changes of this world. In addition to the logical step of trying to expand the guild branch as far as he could, he also asked him to try his best and collect everything new in this world.
Be it stories about things that never happened before or information related to techniques and other stuff, William wanted him to lead the guild branch here to collect all.
William wanted to collect everything, so he'd have a grand library of secretive stuff. He knew the knowledge about techniques and other masters' stuff wasn't that important to someone like him. But stories about ancient battles and events that no one knew a thing about was something that interested him.
He didn't have time to waste and be here for long, so he entrusted this to Ibra, hoping he'd take this task seriously.
William took almost five days to finalise everything. During these days, the entire world was on the edge of the storm. The people who recalled things that didn't happen were now facing lots of opposition and troubles coming from others.
William even heard talk about war in the streets after he finished what he was doing.
