Sinner System-Chapter 314: The Sinners Guild (Part 2)
"Alright, here we are," Remarked Tracy, as we stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby, four familiar faces coming into sight...
"Hey, Kai, itโs been a while, howโve you been?"
"Yeah, long time no see." ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐ผ๐บ
"Good to see you again, man."
Wait, for real?
"Woah, you guys are all joining my Guild? Thatโs awesome!" I grinned, before approaching two of them, "Itโs been ages, Lector, Ferna, how have things been going with you two? How are Will and Elicia?"
"Oh, uh...Elicia retired not long after the Dungeons became more unpredictable, and...," Replied Lector, trailing off with a slight grimace.
"As for Will...he was killed a few months ago," Ferna informed me solemnly.
I...I see.
These two, along with Elicia and Will, were my very first party after I became a Hunter, I guess I just assumed theyโd all be fine after I joined the Diva Guild.
Maybe I shouldโve tried to keep in touch more. Or maybe thatโs just wishful thinking, I doubt it wouldโve changed anything...
"Iโm sorry to hear that, I-...," I began remorsefully.
"Hey, donโt get so down about it...remember what he always said? If and when he dies in a Dungeon, instead of mourning him, he wanted us to celebrate him," Lector reminded me, patting my shoulder.
"Oh, yeah, he did say that...but he was always drunk when he said it," I recalled with a wry smile.
"Yes, he was," Added Ferna with a wistful smile.
"Well, Iโm glad to have you guys on board...itโll be nice to work together again."
"Yeah, likewise, Iโm looking forward to it," Nodded Lector with a thumbs up.
"So am I," Responded Ferna, nodding in agreement.
"Cool," I smiled, before glancing at one of the others, "Havenโt seen you since the HCC, howโve you been?"
"Not too bad, all things considered," He replied wryly.
Itโs the K-Ranked Lancer guy in my class at the Academy, whatever his name is...actually, since heโs a member of my Guild now, itโs high time I remember his name. Letโs have a look, Appraisal:

Wrest Kindt, got it...on another note, heโs improved a lot since I last saw him.
When I fought him at the HCC, Iโm pretty sure his highest stat was still below 350, and I think his Power Level has increased by around a hundred thousand.
And heโs a rare Combatant with no Attribute, so he doesnโt have any Elementally-enhanced Skills in his arsenal.
Which is pretty uncommon, but not unheard of.
<Yes, thatโs correct>
<You remember all that, but not his name, huh?>
I mean, Iโll remember it from now on, so itโs fine.
Heโs changed up his style too, he looks a lot different now. His dark blonde hair used to be about average-length, but heโs grown it out a bit long now.
It went down to his shoulders and framed his face, the front pushed off to the right and tucked behind his right ear, with a few strands falling over his forehead.
He had orange eyes, a light brown complexion, and was about average height with an agile build.
"Itโs good to see you again too, Ariella," He greeted her, as she approached with a friendly wave.
"Yeah, same. And unless Iโm mistaken, the three of us are the last active Hunters from our class, right? Pretty cool that weโll all be in the same Guild from here on," She grinned in response.
Right, now that she mentions it, everyone else in our class at the Academy either retired early or died.
"Oh, that reminds me, I ran into Trey a while back, he was working as a waiter, and heโs a lot nicer now," He informed us.
Seriously? Iโm having trouble imagining that. Well, whatever, even if he has changed, I have no interest in seeing, or even talking about, that guy ever again.
Moving on, the fourth familiar face here is possibly the most surprising...
"Really wasnโt expecting you to join us. Definitely not complaining though, glad to have you with us, Damien," I grinned as I glanced at him.
"Yeah, well...you were the chain holding the feral dog back, and with the chain gone, the dog is free once more," He sighed wistfully.
"Uh...what?"
"I mean Keira. I got the feeling that sheโd go back to normal since you left the Guild, so I asked the GM and Chairwoman to transfer me to any of the other Guilds."
Ah. Thatโs what he meant.
"I see...well, I suppose thatโs a possibility. I kinda feel bad for Isla though, not only did she lose the two strongest Hunters in her Guild, but also the best Enchanter in Sanctuary Theta," I replied with a wry smile.
"It wonโt make a difference, for now...since thereโs no Dungeons and all," He pointed out with a shrug.
"Not gonna lie, thatโs been a real relief. We were getting pretty overwhelmed by the sheer number of Dungeons that were appearing, so getting such a prolonged break to take it easy and rest up is pretty nice," Chimed in Lector with a smile.
"Agreed, and the sheer number of retirements on top of the casualties just stretched us out thinner and thinner, we couldnโt have kept up with it for much longer," Ferna sighed wistfully.
"By the way, the current crop of students at the Academy have just graduated, right? Will any of those among them with Ace Potential be joining the Sinners Guild?" Wrest asked me.
"No idea, guess weโll find out soon enough," I shrugged in response.
