Chapter 5 - A Contract

Morning sunlight spilled across the quiet street as Kael stepped out of his apartment building, wearing a black hoodie. His expression was calm, but his eyes carried quiet determination.

"I hope everything goes fine today," he murmured to himself.

Just as he began walking, an old woman from the neighboring apartment approached him slowly.

"You're going hunting today, Kael?" she asked in a gentle voice.

Kael nodded politely.

"That's right. I'm heading out for a hunt."

The old woman smiled warmly.

"Stay safe."

"I will," Kael replied with a faint smile.

She walked away toward her apartment while Kael entered the lift.

As the doors began to close, he leaned back slightly and sighed.

"Life here has really changed now…"

Suddenly—

"Stop!"

A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure rushed toward the lift, panic written across her face.

Kael quickly placed his foot between the doors, stopping them from closing.

The woman stepped inside, breathing heavily.

"Thank you for helping me," she said politely, bowing slightly with her hands together.

Kael shrugged casually.

"It's nothing."

She leaned against the wall of the lift, still catching her breath. Her chest rose and fell quickly from the run.

"I was really scared you wouldn't open it," she said softly.

"That's okay," Kael replied calmly.

The woman extended her hand with a friendly smile.

"My name is Rieko Yasumi."

Kael shook her hand firmly.

"Kael Draven."

Rieko studied him for a moment before asking curiously,

"You're a hunter, right?"

Kael nodded.

"Yes."

Her face brightened instantly.

"That's amazing! I'm also a hunter. I'm C-rank, and I'm a member of the Slayer Guild."

Kael raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's actually the same guild I'm planning to join."

Rieko clapped her hands happily.

"Really? That's wonderful! It would be great to have a gentleman like you in our guild."

Kael scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"I'm only nineteen."

Rieko blinked in surprise.

"You're a newly awakened adult hunter?"

"That's right."

She gave a soft whistle.

"Impressive. Honestly… you don't look nineteen. You're tall, composed, and quite handsome."

Kael gave a modest smile.

"Thanks."

Rieko chuckled before speaking again.

"I'm twenty-eight. I also have a son. His name is Mizoku Yasumi."

Kael nodded respectfully.

"That's great. You must have a happy family."

At that moment, the lift doors opened.

Both of them stepped out into the lobby.

"I have a car outside," Rieko said sweetly. "Do you want me to drop you somewhere?"

Kael shook his head politely.

"It's okay. I can go myself. I also have something to finish before heading to the guild."

Rieko nodded.

"Alright. Take care then."

She walked toward the parking area while Kael stepped outside and began walking along the roadside.

"My level is already 18 after clearing those daily dungeon missions," he murmured to himself confidently.

A glowing blue window appeared before his eyes.

[ Status Window ]

Name: Kael Draven

Strength: 42

Agility: 35

Intelligence: 37

Kael rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"I'm leveling up faster than expected. Joining a guild will make it easier to take on harder missions."

A few minutes later, he arrived at his college.

As he walked through the corridor, whispers immediately began spreading among the students.

"Who is that guy?"

"He's so handsome…"

"God… he looks sexy."

Girls along the hallway stared openly at him.

Kael frowned slightly as he kept walking.

"Why are they all staring at me like that…?"

Soon he reached the principal's office.

He knocked on the door.

"May I come in, Ma'am?"

"Come in, Kael," the principal replied.

Kael entered and stood respectfully in front of her desk.

The principal smiled.

"So… you're officially a hunter now."

Kael nodded.

"Yes, Ma'am. That's why I came to collect my leaving certificate."

The principal opened a drawer and handed him a file.

"I expected you would come today, so I prepared it earlier."

Kael carefully checked the documents.

"Thank you for your help, Ma'am."

He bowed respectfully before turning to leave.

"Stay safe, Kael," the principal said.

"I will."

After stepping out into the empty corridor, Kael glanced around.

"Teleport."

In an instant—

His body vanished.

A second later he reappeared in front of the Slayer Guild Headquarters.

"Kaeel!"

Kaito rushed toward him excitedly.

"You finally came, Mr. Kael!"

Kael gave a calm smile.

"Yes. I thought about your offer. It might be useful."

Kaito nodded enthusiastically.

"Come this way."

He led Kael inside the massive building.

"Today many hunters are applying to join. A lot of people awakened their ranks recently, and everyone wants the safety of a guild for team dungeons."

They entered a long corridor filled with hunters waiting in line.

Kael looked around quietly.

"Everyone here looks very serious about their future," he muttered.

Kaito stopped in front of a door.

"Go inside. Just answer a few questions."

Then suddenly—

Kaito opened a suitcase placed on a chair.

Inside was a perfectly tailored suit and tie.

Kael blinked.

"What is this?"

Kaito quickly helped him put on the suit and adjusted the tie around his neck.

"There," Kaito said proudly. "Now you look like a real professional."

He slipped a golden limited-edition fountain pen into Kael's shirt pocket.

Kael still looked slightly confused, but he stepped into the room.

"I came to join the guild," he said sincerely.

Inside the dim office sat a woman behind a large desk.

Yumiko.

She pointed calmly at the chair in front of her.

"Take a seat."

Kael sat down.

"So… you're ready for your interview?" she asked.

"Yes."

Yumiko smiled faintly.

"I will ask you four questions. You must answer at least three correctly."

Kael nodded confidently.

"I understand."

Yumiko leaned forward slightly.

"First question."

"If you are trapped in a dungeon with three teammates… how many of them can you save?"

Kael answered without hesitation.

"All three."

Yumiko raised an eyebrow.

"How? Even A-rank hunters struggle to protect multiple people in a dungeon."

Kael smiled faintly.

His eyes suddenly ignited with blue flames.

"Manifest."

Three figures appeared beside him in flashes of energy.

Xion.

Talus.

Aurelia.

They stood like silent guardians beside their master.

"These are the strongest members of my army," Kael said calmly. "Each of them has power comparable to a B-rank hunter."

Yumiko's eyes widened for a brief moment before she quickly regained her composure.

"Quite an interesting ability."

Kael met her gaze.

"What's the next question?"

Yumiko slowly stood up and walked toward him.

"Well…"

She leaned forward, resting her hands on the desk in front of him.

Her voice dropped slightly.

"You already answered my second question."

She bent closer, her confident smile returning.

"But…"

"There's still one question left."

Kael looked up at her directly, unflinching.

"What's the question?"

Yumiko slowly licked her full lips, eyes gleaming with curiosity and something darker.

"How old are you?"

A small, confident smile curved Kael's mouth.

"Nineteen."

Yumiko's smile turned sultry, slow and deliberate.

"I thought you were over twenty… but nineteen is still very good. You're an adult." Her voice dropped low, dripping honey and heat, as she slid forward and perched right on the edge of the desk in front of him, thighs parted just enough to draw his gaze.

Kael held her stare, calm and steady.

"Anything else you want to ask?"

Yumiko leaned in closer, her massive tits swaying gently inches from his face with the motion, the deep cleavage straining against her shirt.

"How about… a contract?"

Kael's brows lifted slightly.

"A contract?" A faint nervous edge slipped into his tone, but his eyes stayed level.

She nodded, voice velvet and dangerous.

"Yes. One that satisfies both our needs."

Kael's mind turned inward for a heartbeat.

A contract… nothing I should be afraid of. My only goal is getting into the elite squad of the guild as fast as possible.

Yumiko snapped her fingers lightly in front of his face, smirking.

"Lost in thought already?"

Kael blinked once, refocusing on her calmly.

"What's the contract?"

Her smile widened. She rose smoothly, then sank straight onto his lap, straddling him with deliberate slowness. Her thick, heavy ass settled firmly against his thighs, pressing down with warm, insistent weight. She wrapped both arms around his shoulders, huge breasts squishing softly against his chest.

"No need to be scared," she purred, voice low and edged with threat.

Kael didn't flinch.

"What's the contract?" he repeated, perfectly even.

Yumiko tilted her head, lips brushing his ear.

"You want to join the elite squad."

His eyes widened — just a flicker — before the calm mask slid back into place.

"Every hunter wants that. It's normal, isn't it?" He tried to sound steady, but a thread of nerves slipped through.

She nodded slowly, teasing.

"You're right… silly me. Just the normal dream every hunter has." Her tone turned mysterious, almost mocking.

Kael frowned slightly.

"Then what's the contract?"

Yumiko slid her arms higher, looping them tightly around his neck. Her enormous breasts mashed hard against his chest, soft and overwhelming.

"I'll help you reach elite rank… in exchange, you do exactly what I say."

Kael stared at her, thinking deeply.

Elite squad — S-rank hunters, the strongest, the hardest missions. Faster levels, faster growth. Nothing here I should fear in return.

Yumiko's finger trailed up and pinched the side of his neck playfully.

"Thinking again?"

He met her gaze casually.

"I'm ready. But you have to help me get into the elite squad. For real."

Her eyes lit up.

"Of course. I'll give you everything you need to make it happen."

Kael nodded once.

"I'm ready."

Yumiko's smile turned predatory. She surged forward and claimed his mouth in a fierce, aggressive kiss. Her tongue pushed inside immediately, hot and demanding, exploring every inch while she moaned low and violent against his lips.

"Mmm…"

Kael's eyes widened for a split second. Then his hands found her waist — steady, not desperate — anchoring himself as he kissed her back with calm control. A soft "Hmm" vibrated from his throat.

She pulled back just enough for a glistening string of saliva to stretch between their lips.

"Contract signed," she whispered huskily. "And I want a quick start."

Her fingers flew to her shirt buttons. One by one they popped open. The fabric parted, revealing the full, heavy swell of her huge tits — pale skin, deep cleavage, nipples already stiff and dark against the edge of black lace. Curves spilled free, soft and impossible to ignore.

Kael's gaze dropped for a moment, taking her in.

"That's… quite strange to do right now," he said evenly.

Yumiko let the shirt slide off her shoulders and drop to the floor.

"Don't worry. This is exactly how we seal it properly." She bit her lower lip, eyes burning, then dove back in — kissing him harder, deeper, tongue claiming him again.

Kael met her aggression with steady heat, his tongue sliding against hers in slow, deliberate strokes.

"Mmm…"

Yumiko guided his hand down, pressing his palm firmly against the thick curve of her ass. Kael gripped hard — fingers sinking into soft, yielding flesh — groping with controlled strength.

"Ah…" he breathed against her mouth, pulling back just a fraction.

She licked the saliva from her swollen lips, smirking.

"You're quite good at this."

Her mouth moved to his neck, then lower — hot, wet kisses trailing across his collarbone and chest as her fingers worked his shirt open. Kael let out a quiet moan, barely audible.

"My life just got… a lot more complicated," he whispered to himself.

Yumiko pulled back suddenly, eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

"Let's save the rest for later." She stood up from his lap in one fluid motion, tits bouncing heavily with the movement.

Kael calmly buttoned his shirt back up.

"I hope you keep your word."

She bent to retrieve her discarded shirt, giving him a perfect view of her ass straining against her skirt.

"Don't worry. I will. But you… keep yourself ready for me." Her voice was pure seduction as she sauntered back to her chair, licking her lips one last time.

Kael turned toward the door.

"You can start tomorrow," she called confidently, already settling behind the desk like nothing had happened.

He stepped out into the corridor.

Kaito was waiting, bouncing on his toes like an excited puppy.

"How was it?!"

Kael gave an awkward half-smile.

"Quite intense."

He walked past without another word.

Kaito threw both fists in the air.

"YES! You're officially in the guild now!" he shouted, grinning ear to ear.

The line of waiting hunters stared at him.

"Sir… when do we get our interviews?" one guy asked cautiously.

Kaito spun around, still buzzing.

"Office closed! Go home! Play with your… uh… legs! Or if you don't have any legs, there's a pet shop on the next street!" He cackled, then skipped — actually skipped — back toward his own office.

Every hunter in the hall gave him the flattest, most deadpan stare imaginable.

"We just wasted our entire damn day," they muttered in unison, then sighed like the weight of the world had landed on their shoulders.

Kael walked into the main hall, mind already racing.

Good. Now I can aim for the elite squad. Need to level up fast — me and my entity both.

Suddenly Rieko spotted him and rushed over, eyes wide.

"Alan! How was the interview? And how'd you get back here so fast?!"

Kael smiled calmly.

"Interview was… strange. Traffic was clear, so the taxi didn't take long."

Rieko blinked.

"Traffic was clear? I was stuck for a whole hour on that same road! Which way did you come?"

Kael's smile didn't waver.

"An instantly strange way."

He walked past her, heading for the exit.

The cluster of women nearby immediately turned to Rieko, whispering excitedly.

"That boy is so damn sexy," one breathed.

"Seriously…" another agreed, eyes still following him.
