Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 220: Can I Join You?

Fiona turned around in anger as someone opened the door to the council room where the guild leaders gave their reports. Fiona glared at the person there in anger, and the man immediately took a step back in shock as he faced the full brunt of Fiona's anger all of a sudden! Why was she so angry at him!? He didn't even do anything!? Did he come at a bad time or something!?

Fiona glared at the man for a few more moments before turning to Turner and asking him at what time the assessment would begin. Turner raised his hand to look at the time on his watch before shaking his head from side to side.

"Not till about ten minutes. We need to prepare some things now that we know Mark is stronger than we initially assumed, so it will take us some time for that."

"Great, that means you can wait for me to finish before you start. Don't you dare start without me. I'll finish talking to those old men before coming to join you in the assessment room."

Fiona closed her fan with a click before she started to make her way into the council room to give her report. As she passed Luna, Fiona gave her a sideways glare that would have been enough to freeze fire, but Luna just ignored her as she continued looking straight at Mark. Luna had been waiting for Mark to finish talking with Fiona before she would come to talk to him.

Luna thought that Fiona was acting childish and she refused to bring herself down to such a level just because of this.

Once Fiona was inside the room, Luna turned to the Superhuman Alliance agent who brought her there.

"How long will it be before I can go inside?"

The woman bowed.

"My apologies, but you can go inside once Madam Fiona is finished with her report. I think they are leaving you for last since your report will take longer than Madam Fiona's. Your guild is much larger after all."

Luna waved the woman's apology away as she finally walked up to Mark. Mark was leaning against the wall with his hands folded and his eyes closed when Luna came up to him. Mark's eyes opened slightly as he noticed the moisture that suddenly filled the air around him once Luna came close enough.

She was kind enough to allow him to join her guild when he needed help, so the least that he could do was to make her seem better in front of other guild masters.

"Okay then, let's go. Where is the waiting room?"

"Actually, do you mind if I joined you?"

Luna suddenly spoke up from the side, and Mark turned to her in surprise as he saw her smiling at him while raising her hand. Mark didn't really mind her joining him, but he was surprised that she would even ask.

Luna continued.

"I have a few minutes before I meet with the council, so you and I are in the same boat more or less. I wouldn't want to be stuck out here doing nothing while waiting, so I figured we could wait together. Is that fine by you?"

Mark shrugged as he started walking down the hallway, and he spoke up in a nonchalant tone that betrayed how apathetic he was about this entire situation.

"Sure, knock yourself out."

...

The waiting room that Mark and Luna were led to was a fairly large room with enough space to fit multiple tables and chairs that were arranged on either side of the tables. The tables were there so that different groups could all use the room at the same time without having to worry about conversing with any other group.

Normally, at this time of the month when there were many guild masters around trying to carry out their guild reports and waiting to be let into the council rooms, there would be a lot of people in the waiting rooms waiting for their turns, but right now, the room was perfectly empty.

Most of the guild masters had already given their reports, and there was barely anyone left in the Superhuman Alliance building other than the guild masters who were giving their last-minute reports.
