Although the question had been asked, Raze felt like he was in a situation where he was forced to give only one answer. What would they do if he said no? After telling him all of this, they wouldn't just let him go, and they had a card they could use against him, given the situation he was in right now.

"What tasks will I be given?" Raze asked. "I'm sure I won't be very helpful; I'm just a kid."

"Our group is one that works behind the scenes," Himmy answered. "Because of Charlotte's powers and my investigation skills, we are on the investigation team and get sent all over the continent.

"You will first start as a low-ranking field agent. You won't have access to a lot of information, but your duties will be small. Once a month, we will ask you for a report, and you are to report any unusual activities that could be related to our line of work. If something comes up in the area you are in, then you might get called to help us out now and again."

The terms didn't sound too bad. As a field agent, he could still continue to grow his strength. The leader of the whole Alter group was a 6-star, so eventually, Raze would outgrow him in power, and when the time was right, he could ask for information on how to return to Alterian.

"I have plans to join the Pagna academy," Raze explained. "If I was to become an agent, would this conflict with any of those duties? What if I become a high position in the world of Pagna?"

Himmy started to laugh. "You are thinking too small, my friend. We already have those who are in high positions, and our organization is already linked up with many clans throughout the continent. The only exception would be the Demonic faction.

"They are a troublesome group who have a tendency to use whatever they find to raise their power and have tried multiple times to take over the entire continent. It's true what they say, you know, history repeats itself, so if you can, I would stay clear of them."

From the sound of things, the demon faction gave most groups trouble. This just made him want to visit such a place more, and he put a mental note down that they were definitely against Alter's influence on this world. If he ever needed a place to avert from their eyes, this was the place to head to.

"The Pagna academy is no trouble at all. Becoming a warrior, showing off your strength and rising to the top, we don't care; just answer to our call when we need you. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that the Pagna academy is a great place for you since you will be meeting so many new faces."

"So I have free reign to do as I wish, only needing to report to you if I suspect one of these world-changing items or meet an Otherworlder that knows nothing about the Alter organization. Heeding to your call when you need me. Other than that, I can do as I wish?" Raze asked, trying to clarify the situation.

"Yes, there is a simple rule to follow though," Charlotte nodded. "The use of magic is not forbidden, but someone finding it out is. This includes enchanting items yourself."

Raze kept his head down and was smirking. He had already broken their rules, but it didn't matter. He would continue to do trades with the Pagna warriors, under the guise that he was the Dark Magus from another world. No one would suspect someone as young as Raze to be a 5-star Enchanter, as well as a 9-star mage.

If items started to appear in the world of Pagna that didn't belong, they would just suspect it was someone else. Thinking of this, it reminded him of something.

Stretching out both of his hands in front of him, there was a flicker of aura in the air. For a split second, magic swirled around his hand. Charlotte watched closely but was unable to tell what type of magic it was.

"Are you able to buy this off me?" Raze opened the palm of his hand, revealing a powerstone.

"It appears you have been quite busy already," Himmy claimed. "We can purchase these level 1 powerstones from you, at around 10 silver coins, but those in Alter won't always be in a situation where they can buy these off you. If you join the academy, it won't seem so strange for you to have crystals, and you will be able to sell them at will."

A lot of Raze's problems were being solved with meeting these people. The extreme measures that he had planned in his head, he wouldn't have to go through with them after all.

"Last question then," Raze smiled. "If I join your organization, I assume you will help me out of this situation?"

"Of course," Himmy smiled. "We look out for our own, and the more helpful you are and give back, the more we are willing to help you when you are in a tough situation of your own. Just never betray Alter, and you'll be fine."

From the constant looks that Himmy was giving Raze and the emphasis he would put on certain words, it felt like his mind was being read, and yet there was no sense of magic.

'He must have been a pretty good detective in his world,' Raze thought. 'In a lot of ways, he's far more dangerous than the mage by his side.'

"Okay," Raze said, lifting his hands up. "I will join the Alter organization and follow your rules."

In reality, the restraints that Alter put on him were just things he wouldn't have been able to do whether he joined them or not. If they were as big as they said they were, then it would have only been a matter of time.

"You've made the right choice. Now let's get you out of here."
