After Valen remembered to untie the boy, he brought him to the main room and gathered the others.

"Ahem~ Well, after some careful thinking, it is my pleasure to introduce to you all our new, under-watch team member."

The big guy named Doran instantly wanted to argue.

"This is just too risky."

Valin gives him a sideways glance before rolling his eyes.

"I see... Well, whoever wants the boy to stay with us, raise your hand."

Valen, Levia, and Yasmin raised their hands, which made Doran simply cover his face with one hand in frustration.

"Okay~ Since we allagreed, I will personally handle all the documents and legal stuff regarding our new member. And remember, don’t mention how... unique we met him."

After saying that, Valen started explaining what had happened during the interrogation, saying that he truly believed the boy had lost his memories.

Then he turned back towards Qasim, who was sitting on the ground watching them with bewildered eyes, sweating a little, and clearly worried about what would happen next.

"Well, since you’re one of us, Black Seed, I suppose I should explain everything to you..."

Valen pulled over a chair and started talking.

"First, what is the Black Seed? Well, it’s a secret organization created by the king to handle all the secret and shady work that cannot be revealed to the public. There are four teams working under the Black Seed, and we’re Team Four, the most talented one, I’d say."

"More like the most miserable..." Doran said calmly, making Levia smile a little.

Valen raised an eyebrow and smiles at him.

"Thank you for interrupting me, Doran. I really appreciate it... Anyway, we’re actually the new Team Four after the sudden disappearance of the old one, we had to work hard to become an official team. So yeah, that’s why we’re amazing."

Despite Valen’s cheerful tone, the atmosphere became a little colder after mentioning the old team.

Qasim then raises his hand unsure if it’s the correct way to ask in this world.

"Yes you! the new member!" Valen said excitedly

Qasim lowered his head and asked cautiously, "So... you are the kingdom’s hidden protectors, aren’t you?"

"Yes, and you are one of us from now on."

Valin replied before pausing to consider what he would say next.

"Okay, I guess that’s enough about the Black Seed. Now, about the kingdom. We are on the eastern continent and it has three kingdoms ruling its lands."

"The Sowat Kingdom, often referred to as the Goblin World, is where a race called goblins lives, then there’s the Bonita Kingdom where another race called the Beastkin lives."

Valen then stood up with his hands outstretched.

"And finally, this kingdom named Corwata, where humans mostly live."

Qasim took a deep breath and began memorizing these three kingdoms.

*So, there are other races besides humans in this world... just like in fairy tales.*

Valin sits down again before continuing.

"Okay, I guess that’s enough for a general introduction. Now let’s move on to the Mohlikat."

Qasim raised his hand in confusion, "Wait, aren’t we going too fast? Do I really need to learn all this in the first section?"

Valen gives him a littel laught before confirming. "Yes indeed, don’t worry it’s lite work trust me."

Qasim remained silent and was unable to argue further.

"Anyway... Mohlikat, it’s what we call the power systems that give you supernatural abilities."

"There are a total of six of them. These paths were either discovered or created."

"The Mohlikat are Alchemy, Magic, Nahr’Keth, Finna, Irada and Maker."

Qasim was completely focused on absorbing as much information as he possibly could.

"Okay~ That’s enough for now. I need to go handle some paperwork, so if one of you guys could train the newbie..."

Valen turned toward his teammates.

"I’m busy fixing your last problem, remember?" Doran said before leaving.

Yasmin also looked at Qasim for a moment before silently walking away.

With two of them already gone, Qasim felt the urge to do something before Levia disappeared too.

*I’m not very keen on starting training, but the idea of ​​gaining superpowers like the superheroes in the fantasy stories I used to read excites me somewhat...*

That’s what Qasim thought, his enthusiasm growing tenfold.

"Well I too have something to do so..."

At that moment, Levia froze when she looked into Qasim’s pleading eyes.

"Umm... I-I really need to go back to wo-"

But Qasim’s pitiful, sparkling eyes were practically calling her name at this point.

She let out a small sigh

"F-Fine I will teach you some basics about magic..."

Valen gave you a big smile as he gets ready to leave.

"Thank you, thank you! Oh, what would I ever do without our beautiful Levia? Alright, you two have fun~"

After he left, the room became quiet.

Only Qasim and Levia remained.

For a few long moments, neither of them spoke.

"Umm... o-okay. Hi there, Q-Qasim! I’m Levia. H-How are you?"

"I’m fine, teacher. Thank you for asking!"

"T-Teacher... Right..."

Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she tried to hide her redness.

Another five minutes of silence passed.

Just when Qasim was about to break the awkward silence, Levia finally tried to speak.

His eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Is she finally ready to start the lesson?!"

"T-The weather is n-nice, isn’t it?"
