The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 270 - Agreement

Chapter 270 - Agreement

Souta, Lumilia, Bargan, and Yanagi were sitting around the table.
Yanagi couldn't do anything because Bargan was restraining her. Although she was the strongest student, she still couldn't match the strongest teacher.
Lynn entered the room with cups of coffee in her hands. She placed the cups on the table and gave them one coffee each.
"Hm... Miss Shina, Teacher Bargan said that you came here to join the legion. Is that right? I'll let you join the legion but I have a condition." Souta looked at Yanagi and asked while tapping his finger on top of the table.
If he could get Yanagi to his legion then it would be a great way to strengthen their legion. But she was a double edge sword. At this moment, no one in the entire legion could handle her so she would do anything that she wanted. Souta doubt that he could order her. If someone tried to order her then that person would face her wrath. It would even lead to the destruction of their legion.
"Call me Yanagi!" Yanagi said to Souta as if she was giving him an order.
Souta sighed when he heard her words. This girl was crazy and there's no doubt about it.
'Ufufu, I thought that you like a beautiful girl like her.' Saya chuckled.
'There's a limit to it, you know? And this girl's personality is out of bounds. I don't care how beautiful she is.' Souta replied to her.
"Yanagi, can you talk politely to Souta?" Bargan said to Yanagi.
"Shut up, Old man! I'm talking with my dearest here so don't butt in!! You're an annoyance! Can you please go out!" Yanagi said in an angry tone, then she turned to Lumilia who was sitting beside Souta. "Also, why are you sitting there beside my dearest?! I'm the one who's supposed to seat beside him!"
Lumilia was scared but she remembered that Bargan was here. She took a deep breath and said, "It's my position as I'm the vice-commander of the legion and Souta is the commander of the Dark Oculus."
"Huh?! Then, I'm gonna be the vice-commander so get out of that seat..." Yanagi said to Lumilia in a cold tone. Pressures were seeping out of her body. "Ufufu, If this old man isn't here then I'll shred you into tiny pieces... You too, my dearest, I'll tear you in the same way..."
'Damn, this so scary!' Souta thought while looking at Yanagi who had a faint scary smile on her face. She was still beautiful even when she's angry.
"Yanagi, I'll lock you in the bas.e.m.e.nt," Bargan said and Yanagi closed her mouth but she was gazing at Souta and Lumilia with a scary looked.
"Okay, we're done here. I don't want to talk anymore." Souta said as he closed his eyes.
"Fine, we'll leave." Bargan nodded as he stood up and looked at Yanagi.
"Ufufu, that's what I like, you're not brave enough to fight me even though you know that you're weak. Keep struggling, Souta." Yanagi chuckled as she covered her mouth with one of her hands.
"Let's go, Yanagi. We'll leave." Bargan said.
"No, you can leave on your own old man." Yanagi shook her head as she smiled while looking at Souta.
"I can force you to leave. Souta already said that he doesn't want to talk to you." Bargan said to Yanagi.
"No, I'll stay here," Yanagi said strongly.
Suddenly, Souta opened his mouth and said, "I'll let you stay here if you agree to my condition."
"No, I'll do what I want and that's the way of my life," Yanagi said.
"Hays... Negotiation failed. You can go now, Teacher Bargan." Souta said with a deep sigh.
"Fine." Bargan nodded as he realized what Souta was trying to do here. "Let's go, Yanagi." He grabbed Yanagi's collar and flames appeared on his hand. It slowly swallowed Yanagi's entire body.
"No, leave me alone old man," Yanagi said but Bargan ignored her words as he controlled the flames to surround her body.
In the end... Yanagi gave in.
"Okay, fine, I'll agree to my dearest condition so let go of me old man!"
Bargan looked at Yanagi with a serious expression. "You agree, right? You can't take it back." He then took out a piece of brown paper in his pocket and threw it in the air.
The piece of paper glows brightly as it gives off powerful concentrated energy.
"T-That's the God's Contract! You deceive me old man!" Yanagi roared angrily as she knew the meaning of that piece of paper.
"You are right. That is certainly the God's Contract. I got it after meeting the Gods that oversees our Hebrei Kingdom." Bargan nodded while looking at the shining piece of paper on the ceiling of the room.
Then, Souta laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, I'll tell you my condition. You will listen to my orders as I'm the commander of the Dark Oculus legion. Also, you better not call me my dearest. Just listening to it makes my ear tinged. That's all."
The God's Contract was a contract that gods gave to their subordinates. It was a symbol of authority and if a person uses it the god that owned the said contract will hear their agreement.
There's no backlash if they broke the contract but the god will know that someone broke a contract under his/her rule. It was up to that God to bring punishment to the one who didn't follow the agreement.
It was also a sign of disrespect towards the god of heard the agreement if they broke the contract. If Yanagi or Souta wasn't afraid to displease the god in this kingdom then they could break the contract anytime.
But Yanagi was a citizen of this kingdom. She will not be able to escape if the people in this kingdom heard that she disrespected their god. It was entirely different than beating up the prince of the kingdom.
But who knows what this crazy girl will do?
"Teacher Bargan, I hope you keep Yanagi in check. With her personality, I know that she will break the contract if I just said a simple word that she didn't like." Souta looked at Bargan and said. He wasn't assured even with the contract so he had to do things this way.
"Then, why bother taking her in your legion if you didn't like her?" Bargan asked.
"She's strong so she had her own worth," Souta replied with a serious expression. This was the thing that he wouldn't deny.
He will take this gamble. He just hopes that Yanagi will follow his orders.
He wouldn't use her if he could handle the problem as he doesn't want to owe her even though she's part of his legion. He would only order her if he was in a situation that he couldn't handle. With that plan in mind, Souta planned to let her free under the condition that she wouldn't harm anyone in the legion.
"Don't underestimate her. She's much worse than you imagine. If you didn't prepare yourself you'll regret it." Bargan said.
"I know it very well. I'll prepare myself." Souta nodded at him.
Bargan shook his head and said, "I'll take her first. With her current condition, she'll not listen to anyone."
Souta turned his head to Yanagi and saw her chest heaving up and down. She was breathing heavily and he could hear her gasp.
"...ah~ I'll call you, S-Souta... S-Souta..." Yanagi kept muttering his name.
"Is she always like that?" Souta asked.
"Nope, she only became like that when she's near the person she has taken an interest in," Bargan said in response to his question. He grabbed Yanagi's collar and said, "See you later, Souta. I'll go now."
"Thanks for visiting, Teacher," Souta said as he slightly bowed his head.
After Bargan and Yanagi left, Souta and Lumilia sighed at the same time.
Is this the right choice? Souta asked himself as he looked at his reflection on the coffee. Yanagi could bring benefits to his legion and she could also destroy his legion. It's only a matter of time before he realized the things that he did this time.
He turned his head to Lumilia and asked, "What are your opinion on letting Yanagi join the legion?"
"It's risky. We don't know what she will do in our legion." Lumilia replied to him.
"Yeah, it's bad. What do you think about my decision?" Souta nodded and asked her.
"It's bad. Letting someone like her is bad for the legion. We could let her join us but currently, we don't have the means to stop her in case she goes out of control." Lumilia said to him. "But I couldn't deny her strength. She had a power greater than all of us."
"Well, for now, teacher Bargan is handling her so we should do everything to strengthen ourselves. Yes, that's right. If you don't want Yanagi to oppress you then you have to work hard to increase your strength." A wide grin formed on his face.
"Here we go again. A training maniac." Lumilia sighed while looking at him.
