The Author's POV

Shortly after Melissa left, I decided to head back to my dorm.

Altough I wanted to meet Amanda as well, after a bit of thinking, I refrained from doing so.

It was better if I approached her once Melissa was done with the project. After all, I don't think Amanda was capable of understanding the concepts behind magic cards yet.

I wasn't saying she wasn't smart. No, that was far from the truth. It's just that Melissa was on another level.

Moreover, it was better if I had a tangible version of the magic card before meeting Amanda.

This way, Amanda would be able to smoothly convince her father and the Demon hunter guild board members.

"Bye, guard named Ron"

Leaving the Leviathan dorm, at the gates of the compound, I made sure to wave goodbye to the guard from before. It wasn't a bad idea for him to remember me. This way, it would save me the trouble of explaining why I wanted to go in.

"hmm"

Indifferently glancing at me, Ron lightly nodded his head and proceeded to ignore me.

Not minding it one bit, I proceeded to head back to my dorm.

"What's next..."

On the way back to my dorm, I could cross the magic card project from my to-do list. Though it would take a while, I was sure Melissa would get it done sometime soon.

Next on my list...

"Should I try recruiting Ava?"

In all honesty. This task was going to be hard.

Not because she had some crazy dealings with some other guilds or that she was currently being held back by something.

...No.

The reason was that I really did not know much about her. In the novel, she could've been considered a low-end side character.

One that rarely shows up. I obviously didn't give her enough character development as a result of her low appearance in the novel.

...In my defense, I was thinking of developing her character when the time she showed up to fight the demon army came...but, well, I died.

Didn't really get to that part...

Thus, I was now facing a dilemma. What was Ava's past like, and what could I use to entice her to join me? Money? Fame? Strength?

I needed to know more...fortunately, I knew someone who could help me.

Taking out my phone I quickly dialed a number.

-Ring! -Ring! -Ring!

—Hello? Ren?

"Yo, Smallsnake"

—What's going on?

"I need help with something"

—Actually, before you say anything, I'm currently in the process of recruiting Leopold, so I might not be able to help you right away.
