On a starry night about a week later, Juin stood in the living room of the house as he held the calling card in his hand.
He had wanted to do it since he got back, but a lot of things had been going on the last few days. First of all, Lucifer had to spend more time in his Soul Dimension so that he could recover all his expended soul power. Secondly, they had to deal with Cyrus, as well as his identity.
Thankfully, Mr. Thompson knew some high-ranking people working for the government, and he was able to create a legal identity for Cyrus within a few days. As of now, Cyrus was considered as a ward of the state and was placed in the care of Mrs. Martin. He was supposed to sleep in the same room with another teenage boy living under the house, but he kept sneaking into Juin and Wesley's room at night.
In the end, Mrs. Martin just placed a mattress on the floor for Cyrus to sleep on temporarily until the new bunk bed that was donated by Mr. Thompson arrived. After everything was settled, then there was the issue of getting Cyrus to study, which the boy found it extremely hard and completely refused to cooperate most of the time.
It was a good thing that Mrs. Martin was a much more patient person than Juin was. If Juin had to watch over Cyrus, he would have gone nuts by now.
"Do you think that cat will sneak down?" an arrogant voice asked.
"No, I gave him a Snickers bar and bribed him with Wesley's comics."
Since Juin did not want that man to know too much about Cyrus, he told the boy to stay put in his room for now.
Juin looked up at Lucifer, who had fully recovered and was now floating above him in his usual pose, and said in a soft voice, "Ready?"
With his arms folded, Lucifer glanced down at Juin and nodded. "Call him."
Juin took out a talisman that was made out of a piece of wood as big as his hand and set up a barrier in the living room so as to not wake up anyone. Since his physical body was incapable of physical training the last week, Juin and Lucifer had been spending a lot of time in his Soul Dimension, training and learning a few more wards and spells.
In addition to that, Lucifer had been teaching him non-physical related stuff as well. Although he might be considered a young king, he had quite some experiences in warfare, having been to a few when he was still a prince, as well as leading his own troops as a king.
As such, he could actually teach Juin a thing or two about warfare, mostly on the trickeries that different species loved to use. And during the day, when Juin could not sleep, he finished the book about the history of the Order and the Nakamura family… He also had Wesley brought him a few books of strategies.
Looking at Lucifer, Juin placed some of his soul power into the calling card. And when he did so, the card glowed slightly, illuminating the room with a gentle golden light that resembled the soft morning sunlight.
The light that lit up the room seemed to gather together in front of Juin, until it formed the shape of a tall adult human. And when the light finally disappeared, in its place was President Presley, who was dressed in his usual dark suit despite it being 3 a.m. in the morning.
"Ah, finally…" President Presley smiled as he looked at Juin. "I was about to think that you might never use the card…"
Juin looked at him, and after a short moment of silence, he said, "I've decided to join the Order… with a few conditions, of course."
Upon hearing his answer, President Presley laughed softly and took a seat at the couch. After crossing his legs, looking very much like a properly breed and raised gentleman, he said in a charming tone, "The Order will do whatever we can to accommodate to your proposed conditions… Please tell me…"
Without taking his eyes off the man, Juin slowly walked over to a rocking chair that Mrs. Martin preferred over all other chairs. He then sat down and crossed his legs slowly, emulating the action that President Presely was doing just now.
After carefully reorganizing his thoughts and words, Juin said, "I want a thousand pills that can replenish one's soul power…"
He saw Taka feed it to his spirit beast, and so, he knew such a thing existed in real life.
"Replenish one's soul power? You mean a Soul Rejuvenation Pill?" When Juin nodded, President Presley raised an eyebrow. "A thousand Soul Rejuvenation Pills?"
"Yes, a thousand."
President Presley smiled and said, "Dear Juin, it's impossible. Those things don't come easy, you know�� It's not a piece of candy, and I think the entire Order barely has more than 1000. And I can't justify giving everything to you. After all, we need it for explorations."
Juin stared at him, and after a second, he nodded. "Alright then, 500."
"100 is the most I can give you."
"Too little. 400."
President Presley sighed. "You're making this hard. 150."
"350."
"200. That's all that I can give you without raising the ire of the other members," the man said with a slight change in expression.
"I'm sure you can do better, President Presley. After all, you personally scouted me. 300."
President Presley gritted and said, "250, final offer."
"Deal," Juin said with a blank expression. Lucifer had told him about the pills before, and apparently, even in the Nightmare Rift, they weren't the easiest pills to craft, and it took a lot of ingredients and time just to create one pill. As such, Juin had only expected to get 50, or 100 at most.
He was just pushing his luck earlier. So, 250 was actually way more than what he had expected.
