5 days after the recruitment notice has been posted.

Even after these days there is still no coming to apply. This makes Razlov quiet disappointed, that even after all the ads he did, there was still no one.

During this days, Razlov continue to hire the kids to distribute the copy of the notice. He also waited in the room he rented, good thing though that its not really that boring in the room. He manage to buy a PSP from the system including 3 games in the expense of 35 CP; he bought the PSP and the games to relieve his boredom.

After these day of no result, Razlov started to make new plans to recruit people. He did it while he was in the rented room at the guild. He also started to consider what the people would think if they saw the notice. After contemplating for awhile he arrive at the conclusion that people would not believe it.

Razlov decided to wait for a few more days. If the result is still the same, he would go for a different approach.

He got out of the room, say farewell to Clarice then walk out of the guild. Since he thought that there would not be applying today either he would rather go back to the Inn and plan how to convince the crowd about the liability of the notice.

Arriving at the Inn, Razlov directly walk to the counter and order a cup of ale.

"Ara! Razlov your early today, how rare of you come this early." said Selina slightly surprise of me coming early while serving me a cup of ale.

"Brother Razlov you seems not to happy today?" said Rosy seeing my sad look as she come out of the kitchen. Usually Rosy is always in the kitchen and sometime help her mother in the pub. It seem she has talent in cooking that is better than her mother, that why she is always in the kitchen. But in afternoons she always has leisure time because there's not too many customers; like now.

"Sigh"

I explain to them the thing about the recruitment notice and offers I did to make sure to attract people.

"Hahaha! you really a big idiot brother Razlov, anyone would be suspicious with that kind of offers that you have given." laughing Rosy said

"GUH!"

"Rosy!, its rude to laugh at people idiocy! Apologize to Razlov" said Selina scolding her daughter

"GUH!"

Razlov, feeling his feeble heart getting attack by hard facts makes him wanna cry. Its really embarrassing to know at the blunder that you made yourself.

"Sorry brother Razlov" apologize by Rosy while letting out a little bit of her tongue in a cute manner.

"Razlov, sorry about my daughter's rudeness" apologize by Selina not realizing that she was the one who shot the finishing blow.

"Don't worry about it Miss Selina, its my own fault anyway of not realizing what the people would think when they see the notice." said Razlov in a dejected tone.

Razlov drink a few more cups of ale, before saying goodbye to Selina and Rosy that he will rest early, then he went to his room. Selina and Rosy din't bother to try to stop him seeing his dejected appearance as he walk to his room.

The next day.

Razlov went again to room he rented at the guild and waited for the applicants to show up. Although he wasn't expecting anyone that would apply today.

'If in the next few days that there is still no result, then I would have to change my strategy.' thought in his heart.

"System can you help me with the problem about recruiting people? Like do you have a printing function, cause I want to make ads in a f*cking huge tarpaulin so that people can see my sincerity."said Razlov

[Author note: Its been awhile System!]

{The system do not have a function like that. Host must recruit people on his own way.}

{If the host want to make ads, host can buy a printing machine and other materials in the Item shop}

Hearing what the system suggest, Razlov immediately check the Item shop.

In the Item shop window screen. You can see different categories which are Weapons, Armor and Clothes, Transportation, Miscellaneous and [(?)] sign. Right now the only categories that is open are the Weapons, Armor/ Clothes and Misc categories.

Razlov directly went to Misc to see the printing machine. When he found it, he nearly curse the system with its pricing, the price of the machine is f*cking 100 CP. That's all the reward that he will get after he complete the current mission and it did not even include the material needed for printing.

He immediately rejected this notion since its not worth the buy.

Razlov waited patiently since waiting would not cost anything except time. Razlov have already been in Sanloris for almost half a month; he is not in haste.

'I will only buy it as a last resort.' mumbled Razlov

Noticing that its already mid afternoon, Razlov started to prepare to leave thinking that no one will also come today. Just as he was about to stand, a knock on the door was heard.

"Knock,..Knock...Knock"

"Who is it?"

Razlov replied not expecting anything. Thinking maybe its one of the staff member of the guild.

"Um,.. I- I'm here cause I saw the recruitment notice and see if I can get the job."

Hearing the voice in the other side of the door. Razlov sit back again and tidied up his clothes, wear his sunglasses , his red beret, and purchase a pack of cigarette, zippo lighter, and ash trey. Then he open the window of the room. Razlov did all this just to make him look like a general talking to his subordinate and respectable.

"Come in"

The door open and whats behind is a young man 16-17 years of age. He look average in any angle you see him, from his face to his body.

The young man enter the room. Razlov indicate that he can sit on the other side of the chair. Razlov then pick a cigarette then light it.

'Fuoh'

"Do you smoke? If not, then come try it." said Razlov as he finish blowing a line of smoke

"T-Thank you" accepted the young man hesitantly

The young man put the cigarette in his mouth, then Razlov offer to light it.

"Inhale it until its almost in the lungs then blow it" instruct Razlov while also smoking

'Fuoh'

'Cough, Cough'

"Haha! good man! You see, this relieve tension and nervousness in the body." comment Razlov seeing the coughing young man.

"Go on, try again." urged Razlov "Inhale then exhale." instruct Razlov to the young man.

'Fuoh'

"See you can do it. It made you relax right?" said Razlov as he smile. While the young man was able ease a little of his tension and nervousness as he smoke and the way Razlov treat him.

Seeing that the young man was finally relax he went straight to the point.

"Okay, let get to the main topic. You just have to answer my question." said Razlov smiling as he stare into the eyes of the young man, wanting to determine his value and if he is lying.

'They say that the eyes is the window to the soul.' thought Razlov

"Then let's get started." said Razlov

"Name?"

"Adam"

"Age?"

"17"

"Can you read and write?"

"I can only read and write a few words, but I did understand the content of the notice you post"

"Job? if you have any."

"I was an errand boy in a restaurant in the commercial district."

"Where do live?"

"I live near the slums at northwest district of the town."

"Which of the job that I require would you like?"

"Mercenary"

"Why?"

"I want to travel around many places and see the world."

"Okay, then last question."

"In your opinion what makes you qualified for the job you desire?"

"Um... I-I'm hard working and I have the resolve to be qualified for the job." said Adam with a serious expression.

Razlov stare at Adam for awhile, seeing his expression and eyes full of determination, he smile, stand up and extend his hand at Adam.

"Congratulation you are hired!"
