Bro, I'm not an Undead!

The bevy's collective eyes first honed in on Tulnas who led the other two behind him.

He donned his black and green armour that traced his figure while being bulky on the pauldrons.

The green hue was mostly from detachable sections of the breastplate that were painted in this colour as well as the upper parts of his greaves and several portions of his gauntlets.

Two shortswords rested on either of his sides in dark, smooth scabbards, giving him the look of some kind of Berserker-Assassin hybrid.

The ladies' hearts throbbed as they saw their man gracefully descend from the stairs with an aura of power, his ocean blue eyes gleaming with untamed regality.

Behind Tulnas was Skullius was donned the armour that Silrat had gotten for him.

It must be stressed that Skullius did NOT remove the clothes he had worn before. He had just worn the armour over them.

A mix of very hard, light brown leather and shiny, dark grey steel made up the armour, allowing it to be a tight fit for Skullius whom Silrat considered to be more dependent on speed than he was on strength.

Half-plate armour was the professional term.

On the parts that featured steel, glowing runes could be seen over, and on Skullius' hands, light gauntlets were made with more leather than steel in the palms to encourage grip while the metallic sheen pervaded over the hands to protect the fingers.

A large hoody could be seen behind his neck, making his whole look akin to that of a assassin as well.

The Discount Human suspected that Oliviana's input was involved in choosing this armour.

Skullius had been pleased with this offering when he looked over it with the guidance field and he had made up his mind.

He would definitely be using [Unbound] on this after the mission.

The last figure who trailed behind both Tulnas and Skullius was of course...Red Rage.

After the party-up with Stylla and her group, Skullius had gone hunting with Red Rage, amassing enough Null Life Essence points to upgrade all the gear he had bought for Red Rage from Frock.

This full plate armour that Red Rage was rather incredible and a perfect fit for the Apostle with some questions about its effects here and there, but mostly great.

It had a mix of dark blue and black, with a regal looking helmet that had slanted eyeholes instead of the traditional visor where the wearer would look through.

It had a slightly bulky build, with its metallic material refusing to reflect any light.

The pauldrons and poleyns were shaped like protruding swirls that one could easily get lost in while on the chest plate, an engraving of a sun-like feature could be seen, with the rays showing as swirls in a dark blue hue.

.....

Ten minutes ago.

Tulnas had a more than surprised expression as he looked at Red Rage who had been pulled out, seemingly out of nowhere by Skullius.

Skullius smirked.

The spatial ring was still hidden by Null Life Essence and he could tell that Tulnas was oblivious to where the Apostle had spawned from.

"This is one my specialities," he said simply to Tulnas.

The Guild leader remained staring at the armoured creature for a few seconds, and then turned to Skullius.

"This is a summon?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Is it related to your Hidden class?"

"...Yes," Skullius said before turning to Red Rage. "Greet the man, will you?"

Red Rage walked forward towards Tulnas who had stood from his chair behind the desk and...extended his hand.

Tulnas dumbly shook the Apostle's hand while in a daze.

It was... very strange.

He couldn't even sense anything from his summon!

Not the connection of mana from it to Skullius.

Not its own strength.

Nothing.

'This is... ridiculous,' he thought with bubbling excitement.

He had already subdued his zeal over the fact that Skullius had a Hidden class, not letting it show how much he valued the Discount Human but with this...

'Watch out, Silrat. I might just take this man for myself.'

"I thought showing him to you first would be better than pulling him out in front of the... ladies," Skullius said with immense difficulty.

"How considerate," Tulnas said with a grin. "You made a good choice."

Skullius smiled sheepishly. He was pretty apprehensive about sharing this but well, since this guy knew he had a Hidden class, he could lie about many things related to his secrets, pinning them all on this fact.

He could also limit the prying of other parties this way as well.

This was just the first step.

Hopefully, it wasn't a wrong one.

"You've got me fired up, Festos," Tulnas said with his ridiculous bursts of energy leaking out in enthusiasm.

....

"Who is that?" Gertreld asked curiously as she gazed at Red Rage who stood beside Skullius as the three men reached the floor.

Tulnas held back a chuckle as he decided to get it over with.

He turned to Skullius who sighed and nodded.

"As you all know, this man, Festos, is an Energy Former. He is appears to be really talented in some other facets of power, including summoning," said Tulnas with a subdued smile.

He hadn't told the ladies that Skullius had a Hidden class as that wasn't necessary.

"Everyone, meet Festos' summon, Red Rage."

Chatter immediately flooded the cleaned the room where all the ladies were situated.

Renialid was really surprised, cocking her head back as she hugged her chest.

Summoning?

Wasn't Festos a Mage?

Summoning was another class entirely.

Red Rage scanned the masses from behind the helmet and when he saw the attention, his arms started to rise up as they headed for his waist to perform his signature pose but...

"Don't you even dare!" Skullius whispered.

The Pelvis Boar-Man became a bit dispirited.

Many of the ladies walked up to Red Rage analysed him, poking his armour while the Apostle remained still.

Skullius tried to make sure they wouldn't take off his helmet as best as he could.

"Alright, enough of that," said Tulnas as he clapped assisting Skullius somewhat. "As you might have guessed, I'm not taking every single one of you. I have already chosen the candidates I will going with based on necessity and utility."

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

"For this mission, I will be taking with me Ginie, Natalika and... Gertreld."

Many of the women sighed while Gertreld wore a cheerful grin.

Natalika rushed up to Tulnas' side with an almost imperceptible speed while Ginie looked incredibly shy as she sluggishly walked up to the Guild leader.

Renialid nodded with a straight face.

In truth, she had expected to be considered for such a mission as she was the strongest out of all the others, but unlike many of the other ladies, she never doubted Tulnas.

She had too many reasons not to.

The Guild leader looked her way and smiled, which made her blush.

"As for the rest of you, I have very important mission for you. You can call it a supplementary mission to this one and I expect the best results possible," Tulnas said.

Skullius already knew what it was and he couldn't help but envy these ladies.

Even Red Rage looked to flare in jealousy as the details of this mission had been mentioned in his presence.
