Uzoma uploaded Alan's data onto the guild's interface. Alan's data caused a big commotion among the guild higher ups. It even alerted the guild leader who ordered to lock down Alan's info under high confidentiality.
Alan's contract automatically got upgraded to the SSS tier. Alan's talent was one of the highest ever recorded in the guild.
Space element was considered the hardest element to comprehend and having 10 stars in space element affinity was enough to draw everyone's attention.
Guild leader even arranged for some guards to tail and protect Alan in secret.
Alan who kicked up such a commotion was oblivious to all this.
"Congratulations Alan. The higher ups have just upgraded your contract to the highest SSS level." Uzoma said after reading the mail.
"Isn't there many hidden conditions in order to get that" Harry exclaimed
Uzoma smiled when he heard this "I think the space element and that mysterious element affinity is enough for them to exempt him from many conditions and trials."
He then turned to Alan and said "Higher Ups have already made some plans for your training and leveling up. If you are ready we will arrange for you to go to the guild headquarters in 2 days."
"Don't bother, I will take him there myself." Harry said.
"Is it okay… I don't want to trouble you." Uzoma said.
"I think I will go with my brother." Alan said.
"Brother?" Dean was surprised. He didn't know they were related. "No wonder he is so talented, after all he is your brother. Looks like we will get another morning star for our Titans guild"
Harry only smiled and didn't bother to reply. Meanwhile Alan looked over wondering what all this morningstar thing is about.
"Then I will make the arrangements for you to go to the capital."
After signing the contract and going through some formalities Harry took them to the guild's private teleportation formation. The guild had its own teleportation formation which connected to its various branches.
"You are very lucky you know that. I only got an S tier contract when I just joined and had to fight hard to get it upgraded to SS level. While you directly jumped the ranks and got an SSS tier contract. You will be the main focus on the guild now" Harry said as they got on to the formation.
"What's the difference between S grade and SSS grade contract anyway" Alan asked.
"I will tell you that once we reach the headquarters for now try to feel the spatial fluctuations while we teleport."
Alan closed his eyes and focused on feeling the sensation while teleporting. Harry smiled and started the teleportation formation.
The distance between zone I-24 and zone I-1 where the capital is located is huge. So it took nearly 30 seconds to teleport. This Teleportation formation was among the ones that were produced on a large scale.
There are high grade teleportation formations that can teleport them in less time but such formations were expensive to set up and cost more to run compared to this one. So the guilds usually use this type of teleportation formation.
The higher grade teleportation formations can be seen connecting the state capital to global capital and the important places and are maintained by government and military for faster personnel mobility.
Meanwhile Alan fell into deep comprehension as soon as the spatial gateway was opened. Last time he wasn't this focussed so he only got it up to 0.01%. After he got out of the spatial pathway Alan's comprehension about the space element has skyrocketed into 1.04%.
It may seem less than his fire element but currently it is the strongest element he has in control.
Because the space element is more complex and superior than every other known element, it makes his 1.04% comprehension of space stronger than his 10% comprehension of fire.
After reaching the guild headquarters they were greeted by the receptionist who led them to the meeting room. The guild elders who were available that day were expecting them.
They soon reached the meeting room and they were invited inside.
"So this is the youngling with high potential" one of the elders chimed.
"Greetings esteemed elders…" Harry greeted.
"He has the same surname as you. Are you two perhaps related" said one elder as he skimmed through Alan's file
"Yes. He is my little brother" replied Harry with respect .
Alan was tense and nervous all this while. He was afterall facing peak tier 4 existences of humanity.
"No need to tense up. We are afterall one big family from now on…" said one of the elders.
Alan relaxed a little and gazed across the hall. There were 4 people sitting across from them. They were 4 of the 8 elders of Titans guild.
Although their mannerisms and speech sounded old, they seemed to be in their middle ages. This may be due to the fact that tier 4 humans had nearly 260 years of lifespan according to the panel.
"Let me introduce them to you…" Harry started to introduce the elders to Alan
"This esteemed person is elder Dimo" Harry introduced the first elder from the left. The elder had white hair and beard and a small scar mark across his left cheek towards his ear.
"This is elder Vlad" It was the elder next to elder Dimo. He was blond and had yellow eyes. He seemed to have a cane in his hand.
"This is elder Rose" Harry introduced the elder next to elder Vlad. She had scarlet hair and had a special charm that was hard to describe.
"And this is elder Shadow" this elder wore a cape and his face was not visible and was shrouded in darkness. It seemed this elder was quite good with the element of shadow.
"Alright let's not waste any words. You have received the highest rank contract of our guild. So you will be one of the focus of nurturing in our guild. If you slack off and fall back your contract may degrade into a lower tier."
"We have compiled a training programme specifically for you. It will be sent to your guild provided communication watch. The details of the resources and facilities you can use with your SSS tier contract will also be sent to you with it."
The elders gave some instructions and asked some questions. Soon after a while Harry and Alan got out of the meeting room.
Alan seemed exhausted, it seemed it was not easy to be in the presence of such powerhouses. The intimidating presence itself was very overwhelming for Alan who just passed the tier 1 class selection trial.
Soon an attendant came and guided them to Alan's new residence. It was near Harry's residence thanks to the elder's favour.
It was a decent villa with one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. It even had a training room which was the most spacious room out of all. Soon the attendant left.
They toured around his new residence and observed every small thing. Alan kinda started missing his old home already after all it was hard leaving it behind after growing up in it.
"Alright, there are times like this in life where you have to move on. And besides you can stay there whenever you pass by the earth dragon city so cheer up." Harry comforted Alan after sensing Alan's dejection.
Alan cheered up and started unpacking his things. He took out his luggage from his inventory and some clothes he used to wear and some trinkets he usually kept by his side.
As for the furniture and other stuff, the guild had already provided him with it.
"The thing to take note here is every room and everything in this house is reinforced and made out of special materials. Even if you level up fast and accidentally lost control over your strength, you won't end up breaking things like you did in our home"
"Hehe so you saw that uh..." Alan didn't know what to say. He did actually lose control over his strength a couple of times after he awakened and broke some things accidentally due to his poor strength control. But he had already disposed of it. But somehow his brother found that out.
"How did you…" Alan was about to ask but Harry interjected " you think I don't know about it ? I too once passed through that stage. And also the way you handled was too obvious for me to find out"
"Hehehe…." Alan smiled sheepishly.
"Alright get some rest, it has been a tiring day. I am free Tomorrow so I will explain some things to you and give you some pointers." Harry said after making sure everything was set up okay.
"Alright" Alan agreed and after seeing Harry off he laid down on his new bed to rest….
