The Author's POV
Chapter 232
After calling Ava and setting up an appointment with her, I asked Smallsnake to send me an official contract.
Today I was planning on recruiting Ava.
The location of our meetup was the same cafe' Amanda had brought me a couple of months back.
It was fairly secluded and was ideal for these kinds of deals.
"Over here, Ava"
Not long after I entered the cafe and sat down, I spotted Ava's figure entering the place. Standing up, I called out for her.
Spotting me, Ava headed in my direction.
"Thank you for coming"
"Ah-h, no problem Ren"
Lowering her head, Ava shyly sat down on the seat opposite of me.
"Would you like to order anything? It's on me"
I offered as I handed her the menu.
"No, thank you" Ava shook her head, "So...what did you want to talk about?"
'Straight to the point, I see...'
Well, it was understandable.
The relationship between Ava and I could only be considered to be as 'close acquaintances'
We weren't really friends, and given Ava's shy nature, I more or less understood why she wanted to get this over with quickly.
"Here"
Taking out a stack of papers from my dimensional space, I slid them over to Ava.
In it were the details of the contract that Smallsnake had sent me.
It had all the information regarding the salary, working hours, benefits, and other things that she would get if she worked for me.
"What's this?"
Looking at the papers, Ava tilted her head to the side.
"Just read it"
"Okay..."
Taking the papers, Ava started to read them.
After a couple of minutes, I watched as Ava's brows knit together tightly.
Lifting her head up, she asked in a soft voice,"Y-You're trying to recruit me?"
"Indeed" I smiled, "I want to recruit you to my mercenary group. Are you willing?"
"..."
Ava didn't respond immediately. She proceeded to flip through the papers one more time.
"...Sorry"
After a short pause, Ava closed the papers and pushed them back in my direction. Putting my hand on the papers, I raised my other hand.
"Before you refuse, listen to what I have to say"
Watching her push the papers back, I wasn't disheartened one bit.
From the very beginning, I was prepared to be rejected.
A 16-year old boy recruiting you to a newly established mercenary group that barely had any members.
No matter how you look at it, this deal looked shady.
I understood that.
That was why negotiations existed.
"Ava, you're talented. No, to call you talented would be an understatement. You are extremely talented"
Smiling, pushed the papers back, and started praising her. In response to the praise, Ava's face turned red.
"M-me?"
"Yes, just the fact that you can contract with two beasts at once is proof enough"
Typically monster tamers could only tame one beast at a time. This applied to even the strongest monster tamers on earth.
However, Ava could tame two at the same time.
This alone proved that she was extremely talented in the art of monster taming. She needed to understand this.
"B-but, they won't listen to my orders"
"You're too hasty Ava"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't compare yourself to the others. Just the fact that you're

This was because they mainly focused on training their pets rather than themselves. Their slow progress was in every right, understandable.
