Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 35 - 33- Meeting Asgar’s Group

Asgar's gaze moved from his boss to the girl he was guiding, aware of her limited knowledge as well as how temperamental his Boss could be, so he decided to intervene.

"How about giving you a slot for the mission? Even if you can't contribute and would be a burden, at least, you would see how high-level missions are conducted," he said with a shrug.

The trio turned to look at him for a moment before nodding their heads, seemingly accepting his proposal.

"Name?" Her cold stare directed at the enigmatic man.

"Lucian," he responded, his voice carrying a husky timbre that sent a subtle shiver down her spine. Hearing his husky voice say his name made her ears blush. She allowed the name to roll off her tongue and liked the way it sounded. Blinking her eyes to school her features, she asked the main thing that could cause a rift between them.

"What reward will I get in the mission, and would I be told the details of the mission?" Her cold voice drifted into their ears along with her question.

Percival turned to look at the petite lady before him and wondered how she dared ask for a reward when she would practically be a burden.

He frowned and was about to reject her when he heard his boss's low husky voice.

"Mhmm."

Percival turned to stare at his boss, who had his eyes closed with his fingers tapping against his leg. Each tap created a sound with brief interference yet still rhythmic.

No one could tell what their boss or the enigmatic man was thinking, so they began to think of how to approach the matter without losing their interest as well as the interest of the remaining members.

"Boss, are you saying we would have to share our reward with her?" Kevin asked in a begrudging tone.

The rhythmic tap of his fingers against his leg stopped for a moment. Silence descended in the room, creating a tense atmosphere.

Zosia frowned but did not say anything. She just leaned against her chair and allowed their boss to decide.

"Well, that's dependent on her contribution," Lucian's husky voice replied. "If she is able to carry out some roles perfectly. It won't hurt."

Kevin nodded his head, agreeing with his Boss. As for Asgar, he turned to look at Percival who still had a frown on his face.

Asgar nodded in agreement, relieved that their boss had sided with him. He knew that convincing Percival would be a challenge, but with their boss's support, they might stand a chance.

Percival hated outsiders joining them for a mission. Despite understanding him and his nature as well as the reason for such, he felt that it would hinder Percival in the long run.

They wouldn't always be there to go for a group run as he may think and if it was a run very important to him, that he must have to do. Then partnering with people would be the only way, but with his attitude.... It's a question of who would want to go with him.

"Very well," Percival conceded, albeit begrudgingly. "But the reward will be dependent on her performance. If she proves to be more of a liability than an asset, she will receive nothing." His tone a little harsh as he glared at the intruder in his group, forgetting that they were the ones who had intruded into her house — System space.

Zosia who was not sure if they even knew her name or even asked Asgar for her name, since with the character she has seen so far, they seemed more annoying than aloof.

She just simply nodded in response, unfazed by Percival's tone. Percival's tone wasn't as harsh as the ones in her memory, so they were nothing but tickling feathers. Besides, she had confidence in her abilities, and she was determined to prove herself to the group and get a better reward. She didn't like being belittled.

Turning her head to stare at Lucian whose dark eyes were seemingly staring at her and assessing her.

"I am Zosia. Not sure if Asgar told you." Clearing her throat, she continued. "You can use the place, since for you guys to be able to enter here, it's also possible to overwrite my authority for the system space."

Lucian nodded his head, which means she was right.

Lucian's gaze lingered on Zosia for a moment longer, his expression inscrutable. "Thank you, Zosia. We appreciate your cooperation," he said, his voice smooth and low.

Zosia turned to stare at Asgar who had a smile on his face. "My Rewards?!"

Flustered, he replied with a sheepish grin. "Sorry, I forgot."

"Tsk...

How could you forget something as important as that?" She remarked.

"Well, it's not like you won't see me later, so no need to be worried." novelbuddy.cσ๓

Zosia scoffed and watched him continue talking but was interrupted by Percival.

"Just get to it, we need to go. I don't want that witch to stark keeping

tabs." He said with his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Kelvin and Asgar nodded their heads. They couldn't agree more. Zosia was confused as to whom they were referring to as a witch but since it wasn't her and she didn't want to probe, she let it be.

Zosia watched in focus as Asgar turned back into his holographic form. She wondered if he could not be in his materialistic form and still be able to project the hologram.

Feeling curious, she was tempted to ask, but she knew that they may not be willing to tell her. She shook her head and stood up. Stepping forward towards the hologram.

"Choose your skills." Kelvin said with a mischievous smirk. "Tsk..... I wonder if she would be able to get any good skills." He said to Percival.

"Let's watch."

Percival directed his attention towards the two. Lucian's interest was also aroused, so he turned to stare at the holographic screen.

Zosia clicked on the blue button to spin for skills with her hands crossed.

'Please.... Let me get a good skill at least.' she prayed inwardly.

The wheel spun for a while then rested on the option with an unknown symbol.

"Hmmm...Did she..... Percival can you..... Am I?" Kelvin stammered in shock.

Even Percival stood up in shock. "A Soul Forging technique. Thats— Just what?!" He said with shock in his tone.

"She is so lucky. Aish.... I had to spend all my points just to get it." Kelvin grumbled.

A green jade token materialized before her. She has yet to understand it but Kelvin words gave her a clue.

"Ooh!!!! It's a one time use." The envy he had for her reduced upon siting it.

Zosia could also tell but that wasn't her issue, she clicked for the next spin.

The wheel spun again before landing on a basic mental technique.

"At least this one is permanent." She muttered to herself before spinning the wheel again.

The wheel spun for a longer period this time around before landing on a skill occupying only 0.01% of the remaining part of the wheel.

Taking a deep breath, she watched as the skill materialized before her. Others also held their breath in anticipation.

Looking at the materialized skill, which had some words she couldn't understand written on it.

Gasp!!!!

Percival who behaved aloof, also had a shocked look on his face.

"Can I exchange something with you for that book?" He asked in a quivering tone.

"What is the skill called?"

She asked not answering his own question.

"Can't you read the name?" Kelvin interjected from the side.

"No."

Percival smacked Kelvin on the head and turned towards her. "Don't mind him. He forgot that you don't know the soul language. As for the skill book, it's called a faith gathering skill.

Despite it being basic, it can go a long way." He replied.

"Thanks for that."

"Then are you giving me the skill book?."

"Will think about it later. May give it to you when we meet to discuss the mission." Her lips curled up into a smirk.

Looking at the glint in her eyes, Percival coughed realizing that his facade has slipped off for a moment, but at least he got a desired answer.

"Cough! That's good. Will be waiting for your reply then."

She watched in amusement as Kelvin patted Percival on his shoulder. With a smile, she turned back to the General roulette wheel.

She clicked on the button again. The wheel Spun before stopping at the skill section.

She watched as everything faded and the skill card turned to reveal a black looking skill book sewn with gold threads at its edges.

"Is that what I think it is?" Percival asked.

Kelvin feeling confused, turned to stare at his Boss. "What is that?"

" It's called Venquidra Ithralm Echthirra. A technique that not only cultivates your mind but your soul, gift, and spiritual consciousness.

Unfortunately, such a technique has been lost in the rivers of time. What she is holding is incomplete and by incomplete.... It's incomplete with broken parts.

It can't be cultivated. It's best she avoids cultivating it, except she wants her soul to be wrung dry in Oblivion."

"Huh? What do you mean by being wrung dry in Oblivion? I thought Oblivion was just a term meant to say your soul will dissipate, unable to enter the reincarnation cycle?" Asked Zosia curiously.

They all turned to look at Lucian, waiting for him to clear their confusion including Asgar who had returned back into his human form.

"It's not something for you to know. Just know that, the Oblivion is a place you can't survive." He muttered, his gaze becoming hollow like he was remembering something painful."

Shaking his head, his husky voice rang in the room, "Let's go."

The rest stood up and followed Asgar to leave while he stood at the back. Before he left, he turned to stare at her.

"Be careful if you are going to use the technique."

Zosia watched his back as he left, her gaze becoming deeper. "He is different from the rest."

She thought about something and decided to forgo it. For now, she should focus on her own development. Touching the book that sent chills, literal chills down her spine. She endured the discomfort and sent it into her space alongside herself.

As for other techniques, she was going to incorporate them into the library. In total, she got 4 skill books:

|• One time use Mind training technique

|• Basic Mental technique

|• Faith gathering skill

|• Venquidra Ithralm Echthirra

"Hmmm, no weapon." She muttered under her breath. Taking a look at the things placed before her as she sat in her bed, she took the last one.

Zosia tried opening it but it refused to open.

"Chip, can you scan this book and it's contents?"
